As soon as Shen Ninghua's criteria for redefining the speech official came out, it immediately attracted the admiration of all the officials in the court, especially the speech official, after Zhu Zheng spoke, he directly stood on the same position as him.

Qiu Ming originally spoke righteously and showed righteousness, but now he was sweating and constantly looking back and forth at his former friends, hoping that they would support him quickly.

Shen Ninghua swept Qiu Ming with cold eyes: "Qiu Ming, I said the new standard for speech officials, you can evaluate yourself now, are you qualified to be among the speech officials?" ”

Qiu Ming's face turned pale, but his mouth was extraordinarily hard: "Queen Mother, Weichen thinks that he is very in line with the standard of speech and official that Niangniang said, is it because the lower officials are righteous and insistent, and if they say that the mother is not, the mother will kill all the lower officials?" ”

Shen Ninghua sneered: "You are all over your body, and this mouth can be a little bit related to Yanguan." Since you don't admit it, then the palace will tell you why you are not qualified: first, you are extraordinarily indulgent to your only son, and even he was jealous of others in the Qinglou and caused a life lawsuit, and he covered it up for him; Second, because your only son was born to a concubine, you even raised the concubine room in the mansion to suppress the main room, and third, your concubine Liu helped you accept bribes, right? ”

Qiu Ming's legs and feet were weak, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet, he had clearly smoothed out the lawsuit, and other things were also done extremely secretively, why did the matter still reach the queen's ears?

Shen Ninghua turned around and walked up the steps slowly, flicked his sleeves suddenly, and sat on the dragon chair with smooth and natural movements: "Before the emperor drove the expedition in person, he left a secret decree and a sword for the palace, in order to punish corrupt officials like you!" On the first day of the palace, you don't say that it snows heavily outside, you don't say that the disaster is serious in various places, you don't say how to save the people from fire and water, but you want to give the palace a dismount, such a person who has no heart for the people to act recklessly, how can this palace tolerate you? ”

Qiu Ming knelt on the ground with a puff: "Niangniang, Weichen didn't condone his son, and he didn't instruct the concubine to accept bribes, it's all nonsense, please Niangniang to check it......"

"Your son killed someone, there are eyewitnesses, and there are plaintiffs who escaped your pursuit, and they will be handed over to the criminal department for trial. Someone came, took off his crown and wore a flower feather, dragged it down, and went to the prison. ”

This time, the Dragon Scale Army stepped forward quickly, not giving Qiu Ming a chance to argue at all. Qiu Ming was dragged out, and the whole person was almost stunned: "The queen mother is clear, and Weichen is wronged......"

When his shouts were inaudible, Shen Ninghua looked at the courtiers below: "Qiu Ming's matter, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department will try it well, and after the review is completed, write an excerpt and submit it." ”

"Yes." The Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly agreed.

"Well, the delay is not short, you adults also know that now the snow disaster is serious, although the emperor has arrangements before leaving, but because the heavy snow closes the road and the carriage is inconvenient, it is extremely difficult to implement, and several sets of backup plans are needed. In addition, the emperor is now driving the expedition in person, because the time is pressing, the grain and grass raised can barely support the army for a month. Now Da'an can be described as internal and external troubles, as if stepping on a moat, the consequences of a little carelessness are unimaginable, so you need to brainstorm and work together to tide over the difficulties. ”

"Yes, the ministers should do their best."

The officials who had been prepared for a long time immediately presented their folds and began to seriously explain the contents of their reports. Shen Ninghua listened very carefully, and eliminated the similar movements, and really found a few good ones, she hurriedly picked them out, and prepared to study them carefully later.

The other old-fashioned courtiers couldn't sit still when they saw the new courtiers being so uplifting, and submitted the plan they had discussed with the guest secretary overnight.

This early dynasty lasted for almost two and a half hours before it ended, and Shen Ninghua left a few officials with feasible views, and then announced his retreat from the dynasty.

Hongling coaxed Sanzhuang in the apse, and looked at the door of the hall from time to time: "Sister Qingque, the queen hasn't come back yet?" ”

"No, it should be soon, just now the chamberlain said, I have finished the early dynasty, I heard that Niangniang left a few ministers to discuss matters, and it should not be much time to delay."

Hongling anxiously watched Sanzhuang crying non-stop, and was particularly anxious: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been fed by the queen mother himself since birth, so he doesn't recognize the nurse at all, and now he is crying so badly, I'm afraid I'm hungry." ”

Qingque was silent for a while, then turned around and walked out: "I'll go to the front hall to have a look." ”

It took about half an hour before Shen Ninghua came back. Hongling was almost about to cry: "Queen Mother, you are finally back, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been crying for a long time." ”

Sanzhuang felt the breath of his mother, turned his head slightly, and sobbed a few times. Shen Ninghua hurriedly picked him up and touched his little red face: "It's late for my mother to come back, don't cry quickly." ”

Sanzhuang leaned extremely on Shen Ninghua's arms, grabbed the clothes on her chest with his little hand, and rubbed his little face slightly. Shen Ninghua put him back on the bed: "My mother will come to hug you after changing her clothes, don't cry, you know?" ”

After being put down, Sanzhuang couldn't help pursing his lips, but seeing that Shen Ninghua didn't go out, he didn't cry, but just screamed twice from time to time to show his sense of existence.

Shen Ninghua changed his clothes, washed his hands before picking up the child, and after feeding him, his mood relaxed slightly, and he felt that he was also hungry. Hongling had already asked someone to bring breakfast over, and hurriedly waited for Shen Ninghua to eat.

"Mother, why did it take so long?"

"On the first day of the morning today, I had to find out the situation in the Qing Dynasty Hall, and I dealt with the sharp thorns, which naturally took a little longer. It'll be fine in a few days, is there a message from Jun Yi's side? ”

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor sent a message, saying that everything is safe, please rest assured."

"Hmm." Shen Ninghua nodded, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's that I'm too anxious, Jun Yi has only been gone for a day, where will there be anything." ”

"Niangniang is too worried about the emperor."

After a while, the boss and Xiaobao came over to play with Sanzhuang, and Shen Ninghua asked them to take care of them, and he took the piece to study on the side. Hongling brought the tea and came over: "Niangniang, I just received the news from Huajun Pharmacy that the snow in Jiangnan has stopped." ”

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, recalled the time of his previous life, and murmured slightly: "Stopped?" It's time to stop, what's the situation on the Jiangnan side? ”

"There is grain prepared by Niangniang in advance in Jiangnan, and Huajun Pharmaceutical Store has vigorously stabilized food prices, which is quite stable."

Shen Ninghua was not too optimistic: "The food I bought before was not much, and the consumption is almost the same now, Jun Yi has already issued an order before leaving, let the official warehouses in various places count the amount of grain, and now the statistics should be almost over, let the people over there keep an eye on the point, if someone does anything with the grain, immediately let people tie it up and send it to Kyoto, and severely punish it!" ”

"Yes, sissy."

After noon, the three children fell asleep with a full meal and drink, Shen Ninghua rubbed his shoulders, felt a soreness, and was about to take a rest, when Qingque suddenly walked in: "Niangniang, Prince De asks to see." ”

Shen Ninghua was stunned: "Prince De...... Baili Jinchuan? ”

"Yes."

After a little silence, Shen Ninghua still decided to meet him: "Help me change my clothes, I'll go see him." ”

Baili Jinchuan stood outside the hall, his heart kept beating in his chest, he looked at the heavy palace door, only felt that the whole person was not under his control, and couldn't help but hate himself from the bottom of his heart, he clearly knew that it was impossible, why didn't he completely die!

After waiting for about half an hour, the gate of the palace opened, and Shen Ninghua walked out with Hongling and Qingque behind him.

Baili Jinchuan's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen the queen mother." ”

"Prince De is exempt, I don't know what happened when you came to see the palace?" Shen Ninghua's expression was cold.

Baili Jinchuan looked at Qingque and Hongling: "Can you say a few words to Niangniang alone?" ”

"You and I can't talk to others, so there's no need to shy away from it, right?"

Baili Jinchuan hooked the corners of his lips expressionlessly: "Yes, Niangniang has always acted decisively, and it is appropriate." I came here today to apologize to my mother, blaming me for not taking good care of my princess, and for causing so many troubles under her madness. ”

Although this war is not all because of Bu Yonghan, she is a trigger in the end, and he should come to make amends.

"The palace has also heard before that the princess had a serious illness, which caused the whole person to be groggy, and it was unexpected to do something under madness, and Prince De did not need to apologize."

Listening to her combing tone, even if she was prepared in her heart, she still felt like a knife, Baili Jinchuan gritted her teeth hard to stabilize her emotions: "Queen Mother, this time I entered the palace to ask to see, in addition to apologizing, there is one more thing I want to tell Niangniang." ”

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes to look at him, and there was not the slightest emotion in her clear eyes: "I don't know what it is?" ”

"The emperor left, Niangniang supervised the country alone, I also heard about the affairs of the dynasty this morning, and I felt quite surprised, that Qiu Ming acted quite cautiously on weekdays, and today he made a head in the court, but I felt very surprised."

Shen Ninghua's eyes flickered: "You mean to say that someone is supporting him behind his back?" ”

"I don't know, I still need to be carefully investigated." Baili Jinchuan was reluctant to say more.

"Thanks for the reminder."

"I'm done, retire."

When Baili Jinchuan left, Hongling was a little confused: "Niangniang, why does this Prince De feel so strange?" ”

Shen Ninghua looked at his back and couldn't help lowering her eyes slightly: "What's strange?" ”

"Compared with before, it seems that he has lost a little popularity, and now he always feels like he has been emptied." Hongling said, suddenly realized that her words were inappropriate, Baili Jinchuan knew what Niangniang thought, and now that the emperor had just left, wouldn't she be suspected of helping others dig the foot of the wall when she said this, "The slave is speechless, please forgive Niangniang." ”

Shen Ninghua shook his head and suppressed the emotions in his eyes: "You also made an unintentional mistake, forget it." However, Baili Jinchuan's words will not be groundless, there are not many people who can support the official, you go to investigate the third prince and the fourth prince, and see if they have any recent movements. ”

"Yes."
