The man whose name was named stood in the first row of Wenchen, standing side by side with Prime Minister Han Qi, about fifty years old, with a square face, big eyes, and a trace of majestic temperament between his eyebrows, dressed in court clothes, in good spirits, when he heard his name, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down, respectfully, without the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Wechen listens to the public's will."

The implication is that Yu Ling has been recognized as the acting government of the court, and she is regarded as the next emperor of Zhao.

"Oh, Lord Qin doesn't seem to care at all that I'm a daughter." Yu Ling smiled faintly, sat on the dragon chair, supported his chin with his right hand, and looked relaxed, for this deputy who was inconsistent, the emperor once said that the greedy courtier was the most valuable to him, but for her, she wanted to change the disadvantages of the entire court.

If she wants to change, then, she has to take Qin Qi and kill the people below him Zhenhe, this is the only way, and it is also the most direct way for her to establish her authority in the Golden Palace.

"Wechen doesn't dare." Qin Qi is a person who knows the times, knelt on the ground, and said in a respectful tone, "The princess is the emperor's golden branch and jade leaf, the emperor decreed that the princess is the successor emperor, how can the micro-ministers object, the princess is right, the Zhao country is the Jiangshan Sheji of the Zhao family, who will sit in this position, it is the Zhao family's business, and the micro-ministers dare not have half a word of opposition." ”

He is obviously patting on the back, these few words are decent, the people below are not convinced, the deputy prime minister has already knelt down to call the ministers, the two elders of the three dynasties were removed and taken down, and they refused to say it again, the Jin Buchang adult who stood next to the dragon chair They all know each other, the long sword in his hand is the imperial sword held by the imperial guards of the past dynasties, and it is a symbol of the emperor's rights.

"Yes, when Lord Qin said this, it seemed that I was narrow-minded, thinking that above this golden palace, the courtiers were not convinced that I was a woman, and they all wanted to break my body into ten thousand pieces." Yu Ling sat up straight, chuckled tactfully, put his hands back on his lap, seemed calm, but his heart was already murderous.

"Wechen is a courtier, the princess is the master, the princess handles political affairs, and Wechen will do his best to assist and help the princess calm down the gossip in the country."

On the top of the Golden Palace, except for him who was paying tribute to Yu Ling, the rest of the people, including the Prime Minister Han Qi, all had pale faces, neither said anything disrespectful to Yu Ling, nor bent their bodies to pay tribute to Yu Ling, and cast contemptuous glances at Qin Qi one by one in their hearts, saying that they couldn't say it, so as to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"Lord Qin is really a reasonable person." Yu Ling deliberately praised with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Lord Qin has been in the court for many years, there are many disciples, you are so loyal to me, your disciples will definitely be loyal to me, Lord Qin will say a few to me, if you can promote, I will definitely promote." ”

Qin Qi was overjoyed, and hurriedly fell to the ground to thank him: "Princess Mingjian......"

Before he could say the name of the person he wanted to recommend, a young man interrupted him loudly, and a man from among the civil officials, twenty-five or sixteen years old, stepped forward and bent over, did not kneel, but hugged his fists.

"If the princess uses this to appoint the courtiers to the position, won't there be chaos in the court?" Standing upright, looking at Yu Ling fearlessly, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but then, a serious expression covered his face, and he asked again: "If I also slap the princess, is the princess willing to appoint me to an important position?" ”

Calling myself me, I don't regard Yu Ling as the next emperor at all, the disrespect in my tone can be heard obviously, Han Qi, who is standing in the front row, is too late to hold him, and the words he made have already been exported, and he can't take it back.

"Ji Dongming, you are bold." Qin Qi straightened up and shouted angrily, "Dare to be presumptuous in front of the princess, and don't kneel down yet." ”

The young servant straightened up, glanced at him coldly, and sneered disdainfully, "Lord Qin, I, Ji Dongming, am the servant of the ministry appointed by the emperor, and I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I will never recognize this woman." ”

"This woman happens to be the eldest princess of the emperor in your mouth, and she is the princess of Zhao Kingdom." Yu Ling looked at him with interest, this man is a hard bone, outstanding in writing, he thinks he is a smart person in the world, he has a lot of bad temper, and the last thing he should take is pretentious, but with a little change, he is a talent, and for the imperial court, he can be entrusted with important tasks.

"Although I, Ji Dongming, don't doubt the queen's words, but I am full of doubts about the princess, are you a golden branch and jade leaf who has been in the harem for a long time, capable of governing the entire Zhao Kingdom? It is not as simple as embroidering flowers and fluttering butterflies, the power in the hands of the princess is related to the safety of the people of Zhao and the border. Ji Dongming was afraid that he would be out of his mind, so he asked Yu Ling with a red face and a thick neck, "Besides, the princess is unmarried, and it is really inappropriate to sit on the dragon chair." ”

"Shut up, how can you insult the princess, Lord Jin, and don't order someone to drag him down." Qin Qi shouted at Jin Buchang, completely regarding himself as the first minister of Yuling.

Jin Buchang was evil in his heart, and this person also talked to himself, only to be praised by Yu Ling like this, he really regarded himself as a confidant, and he didn't know how to die later.

"Lord Qin," Yu Ling got up with a smile and chuckled, "Don't be impatient, Ji Dongming dares to be rude to me, naturally thinking that he won't have any good results." Slowly walked towards Ji Dongming, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, "Ji Dongming, you are wrong, not all the princesses in the harem can only embroider and flutter butterflies, I can neither embroider nor have time to flutter butterflies, do you know what I have been doing since I was a child?" "Stand in front of him, and look at him with the golden steps.

"I think the princess knows some kung fu." Ji Dongming replied to her coldly, "If it weren't for the queen coming to the palace in person, the princess would not be able to tell her identity today." "It's like saying she's a fake princess.

"The eldest princess Zhao Yuling has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, I'm afraid none of you know about this matter." Yu Ling smiled and met his cold gaze, "As long as my father and the emperor know the way, it's fine, because what I, Zhao Yuling, do in the harem, it has nothing to do with you, Ji Dongming, you step aside for the time being, I haven't finished talking to Lord Qin yet." Waving his hand to signal him to step back, before it was his turn to play, he came out halfway in a rage, I really don't know how he will feel after a while.

"Could it be that the princess is bent on going her own way and wants to appoint the deputy minister's disciple as an official?" Ji Dongming was anxious, and excitedly took a step towards Yuling, looking at her aggressively, "Does the princess want Zhao Guo to lose the country?" ”

It was the first time that such a rude person Ye Buli saw it, hiding behind the curtain, he couldn't help but jump out and punch and kick hard, daring to talk to his second sister-in-law with a disdainful tone, just looking for a fight, in Dayuan Kingdom, which one is not respectful to Yu Ling, back to Zhao Kingdom, but ran out of these rude people, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that the customs of Zhao Country were so bad, and he couldn't see women in power.

"Ji Dongming, you are too bold." Qin Qi stood up, grabbed Ji Dongming's shirt and pushed it hard, "This is the Golden Palace, a place to discuss politics, what is your intention in attacking the princess so deliberately?" ”

Don't be in a hurry, someone is in a hurry to perform, Yu Ling doesn't stop it, go back to the dragon chair and sit down, Jin Buchang whispered to her, she nodded and smiled, Okay, the time is ripe, it's time to kill the killer.

"Lord Qin, why be angry, let go, Lord Han, pull your proud disciple aside." Yu Ling calmly issued his will, "Accept me or not, wait for a while, and when I deal with the biggest corrupt official in this dynasty, you will think about it again." ”

As soon as she said this, Qin Qi's hand involuntarily let go, and he looked up at her in surprise, his body couldn't help but tremble, Han Qi took the opportunity to step forward and pull Ji Dongming's arm, pulled him to his side, and blamed him in a low voice, Ji Dongming still wanted to speak, but was pinched hard by the teacher, and he wanted to stop talking, and finally closed his mouth, thinking in his heart, he couldn't live anyway, and it was good to see how to deal with the first corrupt official in this dynasty.

"On the way back from the Great Plains Kingdom, I saw a locust plague in Dongli County, and it was a mess, and I originally wanted to take some silver from the treasury to provide disaster relief, but there was not much silver in the treasury, so I had no choice but to take a mountain of gold, silver and jewelry from the courtyard of Lord Qin, which was enough for disaster relief." With a smile on his face, he didn't get angry at all, and his tone didn't have the slightest anger, as if he was telling Qin Qizai that it was not so easy to eat.

Qin Qi's legs were weak, and he immediately collapsed on the ground, leaned down, and said loudly: "Princess Mingjian, Weichen is an honest official......"

"Come on, don't shout grievances below, you are an honest official, and there will be no corrupt officials above the court." Yu Ling sat up straight and beckoned to the guards waiting outside the main hall, "Bring up the things that have been searched, let Lord Qin pass by, and open everyone's eyes." ”

"Yes."

After a while, boxes of large boxes full of gold, silver and jewels were lifted up, and the golden light was shining, and a large number of courtiers on the golden hall began to discuss, some were surprised, some were surprised, some were surprised, and some were stunned, all with different expressions, but in an instant, everyone's eyes looked towards Yu Ling.

"Nine big boxes of treasures, Lord Qin, you can see it clearly." Yu Ling's tone changed, gloomy and sharp, not angry and arrogant.

"Princess Mingjian, this is not Weichen's thing......" Qin Qi trembled on the ground, and his heart was extremely scared. The things hidden in the ground of the garden will be searched, and he is the only one who knows the basement in the garden, has the people inside seen it when he goes in and out, and the people in the house are all old people, who have been serving him for many years, and should be able to be trusted, where is this a problem?

"Don't pretend, I know very well what kind of person you Qin Qi are." Yu Ling sneered, "These things were found by Jin Wuji's subordinates in the basement of the garden in your mansion, it is useless for you to shout grievances, the evidence is conclusive, your little concubines are tired of trying to survive and not let the Praetorian Guards take these things away, crying and shouting that these things belong to your Qin Mansion." ”

"There must be a mistake." Qin Qi still wanted to quibble.

"Or rather, it is your enemy who has put these things under your garden and harmed you." Yu Ling sneered at the man who was lying on the ground and had no power to resist, she didn't pity it at all, she just wanted to establish her authority by killing the first corrupt official in this dynasty.

"Princess Mingjian!" Qin Qi kowtowed desperately, "Wechen will never do such a corrupt thing." ”

"I'm very clear." Yu Ling opened Zhukou lightly, his eyes flowed, with a hint of murder in his brightness, and a hint of restlessness in his peace, "You Qin Qi have served as the deputy prime minister for five years, and you have collected countless treasures from your disciples, bought and sold officials, and your family wealth is very rich, all of which are carefully hidden under the garden. ”

A guard held a thick account book and presented it with both hands.

Qin Qi raised his head and saw the account book, his whole body was weak and paralyzed on the ground.

"According to the names recorded above, find them out for me one by one, and remove them all. The disciples who have no name, regardless of their official positions, are all brought to the Golden Palace, pass my assessment, and continue to stay in office. Someone came, dragged Qin Qi out of the palace gate, and immediately beheaded him. ”

"Princess......" Qin Qi pleaded loudly, and was dragged down the palace by the guards three or two, and after a while, the pleading voice disappeared, and the guards came back to resume their lives.

"Princess Qiyu, Qin Qi has already surrendered to the law."

"Put it in a coffin and send it to the Qin Mansion, for the sake of his eldest lady being a loyal and honest woman, spare his whole family from dying, let his eldest lady take her son back to her hometown, and the rest of the concubines will be assigned to the border pass."

"Yes." The guards went down to do their errands.

Above the golden palace, whispers came and went.

"Lord Han, next, let's talk about you."

After solving Qin Qi, Yu Ling's eyes fell on Han Qi, the prime minister of the dynasty, smiling like a flower and shining like a starlight.
