Bai Li Huang looked at the twists and turns in front of him, and then looked at Chu Qianlan, who was standing in front of him with a calm face

"What do you mean by removing all the officials above the fourth grade of the Criminal Department?" Bai Lihuang endured his anger and asked in a deep voice.

"Those who can't be used, keeping them is just a waste of the court." Chu Qianlan looked at the face that was so similar to herself. He said with a blank face.

"Unbearable?" Baili Huang couldn't bear it anymore, and threw it at him, "These are all talents selected by me over the years, you are good, if you can't use them, you will replace them all?" ”

Chu Qianlan stood there motionlessly, and Ren Zuo hit him straight on him.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the old eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Ouch, Your Highness, have you ever been hurt?" ”

Chu Qianlan raised her hand to stop him from approaching her, and hooked the corners of her lips with a smile, "It's okay, I'm used to it anyway." ”

Bai Lihuang's anger suddenly looked like a balloon with a needle in the eye, and he couldn't be angry anymore when he thought of the hardships that Da Chu had endured like a qualitative condition. only slapped the table and shouted: "The evidence of the two waiters in the Criminal Department is conclusive, so I won't talk about it, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is just looking for flowers and asking Liu, this Manchu Dynasty official, and he is not the only one, why do you hold him back?" ”

"The Criminal Department, in charge of the judicial prison, should take on this responsibility for the most just and fair person! The imperial court clearly stipulated. Imperial court officials were not allowed to sleep in the willows and set foot in the fireworks willow fields. But Lord Shangshu Ji of the Criminal Department not only looked for flowers and willows, but even ignored the express regulations of His Majesty and even the imperial court, secretly bought a large number of stunning girls and ordered people to train them secretly, and arranged these girls in a mansion. received. It is all court officials---- many of these girls are girls from white families, and a large part of them were forcibly robbed or bought back by Lord Ji! ”

"Is this serious?" Bai Lihuang was obviously shocked.

"Erchen has already been verified, and there is no doubt about this matter!"

Bai Lihuang glared at Chu Qianlan, and wanted to ask him, you don't have half of the available people on your hands, how did you verify it? But after thinking about it, I swallowed the question and let out a long sigh. "No matter what, you can't tell the world about Ji Zhong's crimes, you must know that if you post his crimes on the city tower, what kind of eyes will the people look at me as the lord of the country when they see it? The officials of this court are all selected by me, do you want to make the people laugh at me? ”

Speaking of which, it is still for the face of the lord of his country.

Chu Qianlan sneered secretly in her heart, "Your Majesty is fair and strict, and will never protect and shield the ministers who commit crimes, the people will only praise Your Majesty when they see it, and if you really love the people, how can you laugh at Your Majesty?" Moreover, this move not only makes the people love Your Majesty more, but also kills the unhealthy trend in the court, purges the atmosphere of the court, and makes all civil and military officials know that as an official of the court, enjoying the court's wealth and the hard-earned money of the people, you should do practical things for Your Majesty and the people in a down-to-earth manner! ”

Bai Lihuang was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand, "That's it, you have done this, what else can I say?" ”

No matter how much you say, it's useless!

Thinking of the sudden vacancy of the Criminal Department, Bai Lihuang felt a faint pain in his head, he looked at Chu Qianlan with heavy eyes, and asked lightly: "All the officials above the fourth grade of the Criminal Department have been put in prison, in your opinion, how should the manpower of the Criminal Department be promoted?" ”

"Although Erchen has been in the Criminal Department for a few days, he is not familiar with the officials of the Criminal Department, and it is naturally up to His Majesty to decide how to promote and rectify." Chu Qianlan lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up like a laugh.

Somehow, Bai Lihuang, who saw that smile in his eyes, felt that his old face was a little hot.

Also, his temptation was too obvious. Thinking about it, he coughed lightly and said slowly: "Dong Xun, a member of the Criminal Department, is quite useful, this person has always bowed his head to do practical things, if it weren't for Ji Zhong's incident, I wouldn't have noticed him, he is also conscientious and there is no mistake in the position of Wailang, after so many years, it's time to move." ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Bai Li Huang glared at him, and then said, "For the vacancies of other officials, you go to the Hanlin Academy on my behalf, and if you have something available, you will be promoted directly, and you don't have to go back and forth to me." ”

Just let him see what attitude and means he has in selecting and employing people.

"Son's command." Bailihuang's attitude is also equivalent to releasing water.

Let him go to the Hanlin Academy to pick people, and the people he personally promoted will naturally be grateful for his promotion and knowledge, and they will also become people who are used by him.

Bai Li Huang didn't hinder him, and let him go so happily, but Chu Qianlan didn't think that this was the so-called father's love---- just wanted him to be on an equal footing with Bai Li Wen Han, and then let's see who of the two of them was more suitable for the position under his ass.

Father's love? That's something weaker and more useless than motherly love!

Seeing that Chu Qianlan had received the will and had no intention of leaving, Bai Lihuang raised his eyebrows, "What else is the matter?" ”

Chu Qianlan seemed to hesitate for a moment before she spoke: "Yesterday, Erchen sent someone to tell Your Majesty about the poisoning of the queen mother, I don't know ...... Your Majesty."

Bai Lihuang's expression immediately turned cold, and he frowned: "That's the matter of the harem woman, the harem is in charge of your mother's concubine, how can you that extra heart?" ”

"The son is just thinking, for the sake of the mother and concubine, the queen and the queen can't have anything to do." Chu Qianlan's expression was calm and with a hint of concern, "If something happens to the queen's mother, Your Majesty is bound to establish a new queen, although the sons and daughters have not been back for a long time, they still have some understanding of the families in the capital, and the Shangguan family is now weak, if it is replaced by a family like the middle of the day, I am only afraid that the mother concubine will ......"

Seeing this, Bai Lihuang nodded with satisfaction, "Now I know that for the sake of your mother, it will not be in vain for your mother to love you---- if it weren't for your mother, I would have allowed that vicious woman to live until now?" You don't have to worry about this, I have already asked the Imperial Doctor, the poison looks terrible, but it will not kill people. ”

He paused for a moment before he said indifferently: "I will keep the queen alive until the day when she is no longer needed!" ”

Chu Qianlan's heart jumped, she didn't need the queen anymore?

If Baili Huang died in front of Concubine Shu, then he would inevitably order the queen to be martyred. If Concubine Shu died in front of Bailihuang, the queen naturally had no need to stay anymore.

Anyway, no matter whether he dies or Concubine Shu dies, the queen has to be buried as a martyr.

Chu Qianlan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, as long as the queen would be fine now.

……

The matter of the big blood change of officials of the Criminal Department, Baili Wenhan naturally knew about it.

When Mr. Gu was invited in, he thought that he would see Baili Wenhan who was thundering, but he didn't want Baili Wenhan to be as gentle and polite as before, except for the bloodshot in his two eyes, he couldn't find the slightest cause of anger in his body.

"Your Highness." After Mr. Gu saluted, he was invited by Baili Wenhan to sit down, "Your Highness called me here, but for the sake of all the officials of the Criminal Department?" ”

Baili Wenhan asked people to bring in the tea set, but he didn't let people serve him, he beat the people away, and actually cooked them himself, he asked lightly while fiddling with the tea set: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Mr. Gu said truthfully: "The prince of Xiang is a good means, he knows that the officials above the fourth grade of the criminal department are standing beside His Royal Highness, and they have to buy and win over one by one, not to mention the time and effort, and they may not be able to win over the past, so he simply uprooted all the people in the criminal department, so that he only needs to install his people in the general position---- no, in this short period of time, the prince of Xiang has not been able to cultivate any useful people, and then he doesn't have to do anything, those who have been favored because of him will naturally remember his kindness. Even if he won't stand on his side in the future, he probably won't be on His Highness's side. ”

"You're right." Baili Wenhan said lightly: "Dong Xun, the newly promoted Shangshu of the Criminal Department, is loyal and diligent, and can be regarded as a talented person, who has been pressed by Ji Zhong for so many years and can't move, also because he disdains to be ----in the company of Ji Zhong and others."

Thinking that Ji Zhong is his own person, being with Ji Zhong is with himself. And that Dong Xun was unwilling to be with Ji Zhong, so naturally he was unwilling to be with him, and there were finally some ups and downs in Baili Wenhan's tone, "When Dong Xun takes the position, the Criminal Department is completely out of my control." In my opinion, what should I do next? ”

Mr. Gu looked at him like a flowing water scalding cup and tea, nodded slightly, he could stand steady in front of major events, if it weren't for the opponent Chu Qianlan, the throne of the Ryuk Kingdom, Yu Baili Wenhan would be at his fingertips. But as soon as Baili Wenhan made a move, he took out the criminal department that Baili Wenhan firmly held in the palm of his hand, although he always knew that Chu Qianlan was not simple and must not be underestimated, but he didn't expect this one.

"I don't know if His Royal Highness knows about the queen in the palace?"

"Queen?" Baili Wenhan paused, "Mr. wants to make a fuss about the queen, but I'm afraid it won't work---- in order to prevent Concubine Shu and Chu Qianlan from getting her wish, the queen has completely offended her father and Concubine Shu, and I heard that there is only one breath left now." ”

He shook his head and looked at Mr. Gu with a slightly disappointed gaze. Death of the sub-double state.

Mr. Gu didn't care, and respectfully accepted the teacup he handed over, "Your Highness thinks that the queen's move is the most popular with everyone?" ”

Baili Wenhan frowned, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

"If I tell Your Highness that it is impossible for Prince Xiang to forgive Concubine Shu for abandoning him back then, what will Your Highness think?" Mr. Gu blew the end of the tea, "The queen who has been silent for many years suddenly has a hard time with Concubine Shu at this time, Your Highness thinks, what is the connection between the two?" ”

"You mean, Chu Qianlan is unwilling to forgive Concubine Shu, even if it is recorded in Concubine Shu's name, he is unwilling!" Baili Wenhan was slightly surprised, "Therefore, the queen's actions at the Dragon Boat Banquet were basically in collusion with Chu Qianlan?" ”
