Since Chen Xian ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, he was diligent in political affairs every day, and devoted himself to the country's society, because he practiced martial arts since he was a child, fortunately he entered the palace and followed Xiao Zhong to read many books in the school, "Analects", "The Book of Rites", "The Mean", "Zuo Chuan" and other classics, now that he is a king, he has to read more books, such as "Zizhi Tongjian", "Guwen Guanzhi", etc., every day under the court, he immediately rushed back to his diligent palace to review the folds, dabbling in the scriptures and history, almost every night to pick up the lamp to read books and even dawn, every time is tired to sleep next to the table, A few bold chamberlains persuaded him a few times, but Chen Xian still had business as usual.

When the servant Zhao De was helpless, he had no choice but to go to Mingyue Tower to find Xiao Mingyue.

The qualified eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace all knew that the emperor and the young man of Xiao County had a very good relationship. Although the dynasty has changed now, the status of Xiao Mingyue and General Xiao has not been affected at all, and the emperor asked someone to carefully build Mingyue Tower for Xiao Mingyue. And Xiao Mingyue has always been friendly and tolerant to her subordinates, and she has won the hearts of the people. Thinking that the best candidate for the queen in the future must be Xiao Mingyue, some princesses of the previous dynasty often come to Mingyue Tower to greet Xiao Mingyue for their future.

Of course, Xiao Mingyue also knew their intentions, and she was also warm and welcoming every time.

"Be careful, don't overheat, stew this chicken soup is not sloppy!" In the kitchen, Xiao Mingyue instructed Amber.

"The slave knows that this chicken soup is taken by the county lord for His Majesty to drink! The slave will definitely cheer up and take a good look! Amber fanned the fire with a fan while looking at Xiao Mingyue with a grin.

Xiao Mingyue was not idle in her hands, she was making yokan herself, and when she saw Amber Xiao grinning, she deliberately joked: "Why are you so happy today?" The last time I saw you so happy was when I was fishing with my cousin! Do you have a sweetheart again? "

Seeing that she was being teased, Amber said disagreeingly: "Miss is talking nonsense again, the slave is just happy for you." Now that General Chen has become the king of this country, the things that Miss has in her heart have finally come to fruition! The slave is happy for the young lady! "

Xiao Mingyue listened, smiled and said, "Carefully, you worry a lot, you have long white hair and wrinkles on your face!" "

Amber looked back and said, "My good lady! Good county lord! The slave maid can see it, we are here for a few years, Your Majesty's mind about you has not changed, there used to be three princes like the middle of the block, now it is considered to be boiled out, Your Majesty to Niangniang, to you is to send the palace and come to visit every day, even if you are not free, you will send someone to send things over, such a affection and thought, it can be seen that Your Majesty has a deep affection for you. Although, Yuwen Gongzi also has a deep affection for you, but the slave knows that you are pretending to be Your Majesty in your heart, and the slave and maid heard that there were many official ladies at the banquet that day, and a few of them didn't want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes! Miss still has to hold on to herself! "

Xiao Mingyue put the yokan on the plate, stretched out her finger and tapped Amber's head, and said, "You! It's really getting more and more monkey-like, and it's even thinking about a lifelong event for me. Say! Do you want to get married!? "

"Miss! There are no slaves and maids! Amber said, turning her head.

"Oh? Yes! So why are you red?! "

"What a thing!"

"Turn your head and let me see!"

In the Qinzheng Palace, Chen Xian was watching the twists and turns intently.

I saw that because of the frequent changes of government in the past, the law and law and order were disregarded, and there were frequent cases of bureaucrats bullying the people in Cheng'an County in the southwest and Tuwen County in the southeast, and nearly hundreds of them died of starvation or disease because they were bullied by bullies......

The local officials also sit idly by, turn a blind eye, collude with the squire bullies, and let them do evil!

"How can this be true? There is such a thing! Chen Xian was so angry that he slapped his big hand on the table.

Then he asked the chamberlain on the side: "Who are the Taishou of Cheng'an County and Tuwen County?" "

The inner attendant thought for a while, and stepped forward and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the Taishou of Cheng'an County is Lord Zhang Yuanshan, and the Taishou of Tuwen County is Lord Xu Yan, both of whom were born in the imperial examination!" "

Chen Xian listened, frowned and thought back: "Zhang Yuanshan? Could it be the Zhang Yuanshan who once said, 'Do Tian Shelang in the morning and enter the Tianzi Hall at dusk'? "

The attendant nodded and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, exactly!" "

Chen Xian sneered twice and said, "What a Zhang Yuanshan!" I think he was born in Tian Shelang, and finally passed the imperial examination and achieved the position of Taishou, but I didn't expect him to help the abuse, collude with others to make a lot of money, and put the people in the middle of fire! There are such dog officials in the world, and the people are in dire straits every day! "

"Your Majesty is angry, you should focus on the dragon body!" The chamberlain said.

"If you think about it, only these two counties are being convicted now, and there must be other counties that have the same situation! It seems that the widow should get rid of the pests for the people! "

As soon as the words fell, the little eunuch at the door replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao asks to see you!" "

"Mingyue is here? It's so cold outside, let her in! Chen Xian said busily.

After a while, Xiao Mingyue and Amber slowly walked in with the food box.

"See Your Majesty!" Xiao Mingyue saluted and said.

"Don't be polite, Mingyue, there will be no outsiders present in the future, don't salute between you and me, okay?" Chen Xian looked at Xiao Mingyue expectantly and said.

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, as the world, must treat everyone equally!" How can you be different from Mingyue! "

Chen Xian listened and wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't speak.

Then he looked at the food box in Amber's hand, smiled and said, "The widow is just a little hungry!" What good food have you brought to the widow today? "

Xiao Mingyue took the food box and sent it to the table, and said, "Your Majesty's nose is so sensitive, you should be able to smell it!" "

Chen Xian listened, sniffed lightly, and then said, "Could it be that you stewed chicken soup?!" "

Amber listened to it below, and couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, in order to make chicken soup and yokan for Your Majesty, my county lord has been busy in the small kitchen for an afternoon!" "

"Who wants you to talk too much!" Xiao Mingyue said to Amber with disgust.

"But what the slave said was the truth! The slave maid thinks that Your Majesty must also want to know the facts! Amber said.

Chen Xian nodded with a smile and praised, "The amber girl is really still so sharp-toothed. Since you have told the widow such a secret, you may as well tell the widow what reward you want. "

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't have any wishes for the time being. However, if there is anything in the future, I will come to beg Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will not break his word! Amber said with a grin.

"Okay!" Chen Xian said.

Xiao Mingyue listened to it on the side, and secretly thought in her heart, Chen Xian and Amber are afraid that they don't want to join forces to "deal with themselves"! One wishes he could marry out as soon as possible! The other wished he had married himself sooner!

Then he said to Chen Xian: "Drink it while it's hot!" This chicken soup doesn't taste good when it's cold! After speaking, he had already given Chen Xian a big bowl.

Chen Xian looked at Xiao Mingyue with tenderness in his eyes, "Okay! These widows will drink it all without dropping! "

After saying that, he tasted it seriously.

"How's it taste?" Xiao Mingyue asked curiously.

"It tastes so good!" Chen Xian said with a smile.

Xiao Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!" Before I came, I was worried that you would like to drink! Originally, it was my first time stewing chicken soup, so I didn't have much experience! "

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Everything you make is delicious!" Even if it's unpalatable, widows like to eat it! "

When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she couldn't help blushing, lowered her head and was silent.

Chen Xian also saw that Xiao Mingyue was shy, so he stopped talking and drank the chicken soup seriously.

Zhao De and Amber, the chamberlains below, also looked at each other and laughed. The two of them are also happy for the relationship between Chen Xian and Xiao Mingyue!

Xiao Mingyue saw the twists and turns on the side, and saw that it was a lower-level official who reported the two places Taishou, and couldn't help but glance at it from beginning to end, and then couldn't help but say: "There is such a thing!" "

Chen Xian finished drinking and then put down the soup bowl, and the chamberlain hurriedly came over to clean it up, and then handed the soup bowl to Amber.

"Yes, because of the frequent changes of regime before, people were panicked, and the officials took advantage of this time to become more and more prey on the people, not caring about the lives of the people.

Xiao Mingyue thought for a while and said: "Such officials bully the weak and fear the hard, the most hateful, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with them?!" "

Chen Xian sighed softly and said, "According to the law, you should be dismissed. and exile depending on the severity of the circumstances. However, for a country to be strong, it must first have strict laws, and the previous laws were too merciful to these dumb officials who brought disaster to the country and its people. The widow is ready to impose strict laws, and those who are officials like these two will be killed! And let officials at all levels supervise each other, if corruption is found, the people who are prey on the flesh of the people, the whistleblower will be rewarded, and the report will be dealt with by the cool law! "

Xiao Mingyue listened to Chen Xian's words, and couldn't help but secretly admire Chen Xian's decisiveness and wisdom in her heart, he was really a good emperor who was beneficial to the people!

Then he said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, do not tolerate adultery. However, since ancient times, corruption of officials in all dynasties and dynasties cannot be absolutely avoided. As the saying goes, 'when the water is clear, there are no fish', those corrupt and bribery officials are not useless, Mingyue believes that His Majesty can grasp the proportions! "

Chen Xian listened to Xiao Mingyue's advice, clapped his hands and praised, and said: "Mingyue is right, but an official like Zhang Yuanshan, Xu Yan, must be killed to make an example of others, so as to deter others!" "

Then he wrote a note, called Zhu Yushi into the palace overnight, and ordered him to send people to the two places immediately to arrest Zhang Yuanshan and Xu Yan.
