Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 72 The Dust Has Settled
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this case is widely implicated, and if it is punished in accordance with the law, I am afraid that it will shake the political foundation of my Beigao." Liang Gaoliang said.
"Oh? So are these corrupt officials so laissez-faire? Nightburn's eyes narrowed, oozing a hint of danger.
"Your Majesty, if you let it go completely, I'm afraid that those people will feel that Your Majesty has scruples, and I'm afraid that they will be even more reckless." The person who spoke was the first talented man to fight politics at the Longfu banquet - Ming Yue.
"What does Mingqing think?"
"Killing chickens and monkeys is the best policy." Ming Yue bowed his head and replied.
"If it is not enough to kill chickens and monkeys, I am afraid that it will make them fearful." Liang added.
"I am fortunate to have two virtuous people in Beigao." Qing Yezhuo smiled, the two of them thought of going together, he didn't want to let go of those corrupt officials so simply, but after all, he had not been on the throne for a long time, and if he killed them all, he would probably attract criticism, so it was best to do so.
"What do the two Aiqing think should be done in the morning when they enter the sea?"
"The imperial examination is one of the foundations of the country, and Lord Chen has heavy responsibilities, but he uses it to make profits, establish a party in the court, and use villains in vain, which is a great crime." Liang Gaoliang is a representative of such unfair treatment.
"Lord Liang, Ming Yue knows that adults are unwilling, but Lord Chen is just guilty of corruption and bribery." Ming Yue said lightly.
"Oh? If corruption and perversion of the law are not punished, what other crime should be punished? Liang Gaoliang was a little excited, for so many years his talent and ambition have been buried, it is because of the unfairness of the imperial examination back then, and he has no background, so he has been doing a county order in Songyuan, depressed, if it is not for Tao Xiaod, I am afraid that he will not be able to display his ambitions in that county.
"Liang Qing is a little restless, what does Ming Qing think?" Qing Yezhuo appeased Liang Gaoliang, as the king of a country, it is a necessary means to recognize talents and use people and appease people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Lord Chen is corrupt and perverts the law, he does not disregard human life, but only to seek money. But Chen's is a big clan, and his son has a lot of prestige in the army, and if he is executed, he is afraid that it will cause him to be dissatisfied. If he is exempted from the death penalty and let him confess all the people who have been illegally promoted and appointed, and make them demoted, firstly, it can appease the imperial court, but can appease the talented people who have suffered injustice, so that they can have more confidence in the imperial court. ”
"What does Liang Qing think?" Qing Yezhuo nodded, turned his head and asked Liang Gaoliang.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ming's method is very good. Now that the Luo family is no longer able to make waves, and the Chen family is also at sunset, the people of the world will remember that Your Majesty is a generous and benevolent king, and Gao Liang is a little extreme and asks His Majesty to punish him. Liang Gaoliang was silent for a moment, then knelt down and said.
"Liang Qing, please hurry up, you two are the pillars of my Beigao, don't be presumptuous. The son of the morning into the sea has a meritorious service in guarding the border with King Yi, and I have my own considerations. Nightburn reassured them once more.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Stand down."
"Yes."
In the huge hall, only Qing Yezhuo and Guifu are left.
Luo's, Chen's, and Tao's were originally restrained from each other, but now only Tao is left. Tao Wancheng's eldest daughter Tao Ying was already in the harem, and now her daughter Tao is dying and is only favored by the saint, and is about to become the mother of the country in Beigao, and her only son Tao Tuo is also serving in the army of the righteous king, and Tao Wancheng is now a high power. Qing Yezhuo thought about it carefully, it was not that he didn't want to kill, but more importantly, in order to contain it, if he killed this, I am afraid that Tao Wancheng would really be above ten thousand people under one person.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Tao has returned to the palace."
"Oh?" If he is allowed to be indifferent to contain the Tao family, he can't do it anyway, if a son of heaven can't even use the person he loves and can't protect it, then he doesn't know why he wants to be this son of heaven?
"The proposed decree is that Wei Jingcheng and Xiao Xinhai committed extremely heinous crimes, and they were beheaded at noon after three days of parading through the streets, and the officials implicated in Huicheng were demoted by two levels in a row, fined twice as much as two silver silver, and exempted them from one year before they could be convicted of a capital crime. Although he entered the sea in the morning in the eyes of the crime, he remembered the elders of the two dynasties and cared for the court, which could avoid his capital crime, but the living crime was inevitable. Half of his property was confiscated, demoted to three levels, exempted from three years' wages, and thought about it for three months to set an example. Those implicated in this matter will be demoted to one level and fined for half a year, and if any person who embezzles or accepts bribes voluntarily hands them over, he will be exempted from serious crimes, and if he is found to be dismissed from his post and exiled. Two months later, the imperial examination was re-examined, and I personally wrote the questions and read the papers, and the world's talented people only talked about their talents, regardless of their background. Qing Yezhuo said word by word, and the words were powerful.
"In addition, the daughter of the Jiang family is limited to gentleness and is named a nobleman. His father was loyal to the imperial court, worked hard, sealed the Shangshu order, and assisted in the imperial examination. Qing Yezhuo added after a moment.
"Yes." Guifu went down to draw up the purpose.
"Swing the Paradise Residence—"
"Niangniang, I don't know when I'll see Xiaoshan when I'm back." Biyun said Ai Aidi.
"You're just a hare, and you've been running around all day long!" Tao Yao smiled and poked her forehead.
Say as if you're not!
"But Biyun really likes Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan is also pitiful, her parents went so early, leaving her alone, eh-" Bi Yun touched her forehead and whispered a defense.
"What kind of people are Xiaoshan's parents, who can give birth to Xiaoshan so beautifully?" Jasper chimed in.
Since Xiaoshan followed the peach, he has lost his immaturity and jerkiness back then, and the whole person has become more and more beautiful and delicate, and he is extremely smart, and no one will believe that he is a girl from the countryside.
"His father is a langzhong, and he was bitten by a snake while collecting medicine, so - mother, I don't know, next time I see you." Biyun thought for a moment and replied.
"Don't say goodbye, don't mention her sadness, make her sad." Or Jasper is delicate.
"Yes, yes, I'm an elm head." It's good that you understand.
"The emperor has arrived—"
"Niangniang, the emperor is here!" Biyun tugged at Taoyao's skirt and looked at her with a grin.
"Biyun, you are not big or small, believe it or not, this palace will punish you to clean the toilet tomorrow?" Tao Yaoyao pretended to be angry and said angrily.
"Hee-hee-hee-" Jasper laughed.
"Xiao'er, what's making you unhappy?" Seeing that the three of them seemed to be talking about something, Tao Yaoyao's face was full of anger, so he quipped.
"Your Majesty is auspicious—"
"Xiao'er is angry, this guy is getting more and more disagreeable." Momo pouted.
"Oh? Biyun, what have you done to make your master so unhappy? Qing Yezhuo asked, but there was a smile on his face.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, Biyun saw that Niangniang heard that the emperor came up and looked stupid, I was afraid that it would ruin Niangniang's reputation, so I kindly reminded her, how do you know that Niangniang does not appreciate it, and she will punish the slave maid to clean the toilet!" It's quite aggrieved when he talks about it.
"You! You even say it! Tao Yao stomped her feet, her master became more and more undignified!
"Hahahaha-" Qingye laughed heartily, and Jasper couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
"You're still laughing? Don't laugh! "The peach is full of crows.
"Xiao'er, the girl next to you is telling the truth, come on, reward!" Qing Ye said with a laugh.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, don't take it to heart. Our mother is duplicitous, and she is happy to hear that His Majesty is coming! "Biyun is really a good shot.
"Oh? Is it? Qing Yezhuo turned his head to look at Tao Yaoyao, his eyes full of heat.
"You, don't listen to her nonsense!" Tao Yaoyao blushed and turned her head away.
"Niangniang, every time you talk about Your Majesty, you look like this, the slaves and maids understand when they see it, you are embarrassed!" Biyun said.
"Biyun, if you talk again, this mother will make someone stick to your little mouth." Tao Yaoyao made a fierce appearance, trying to scare her.
Biyun covered his mouth with both hands, and it was almost the same when it came to this part, no one from another family was so active, and his own family was still hiding all day long, and as a maid, he could only push it like this.
"Niangniang, Biyun knows it's wrong, so I'll go down and think about it. Biyun retreated—" Biyun finished speaking, and led Biyu to trot all the way down.
"Xiao'er, can you miss me?" Qing Ye is in a good mood, and the previous depression has long been gone.
"I'm only going out for one day—" Momo was helpless.
"Xiao'er, can you miss me?" Qing Yezhuo asked again in an accentuated tone, and the person also took a step towards her.
The spirit of "......" is really tireless and persevering!
"I'm dying—"
"You, what do you think of me......" Tao Xiaoxiao was really embarrassed.
How can this man talk about love so slippery!
"I can't sleep alone, and I've been trying to hold my baby in my arms all night, but alas—" Qing Yezhuo said, looking at her with sparkling eyes.
It's really damn bad, she can't stand such a look the most. Before, as soon as she saw the eyes of a cat and a dog, she couldn't accept it, how did this guy discover his weakness, is it a coincidence?
"Xiao'er, I have given an order today, ask Wei Xiao and the others to behead, and severely punish Chen into the sea." Nightburn stared at her, as if to see how she reacted.
"Huh? Why didn't you kill—"
"For his son and your brother are on the edge of the town of the righteous king, and besides, he is the same as your father and the elder of the two dynasties." Qing Yezhuo didn't wait for her to finish asking.
"Oh-" Momo didn't know much about her family.
"I also gave birth to the Jiang family."
"Jiang Shaoqing?" Peach looks up, it's the one who always becomes.
"Well, I have canonized her as a nobleman. His father was originally a servant, and I promoted him to the third level as a deputy examiner for the imperial examination. ”
"Are you going to reopen the imperial examination this year?"
"The mistake I made in the sea in the morning, I want to give an explanation to the geniuses of the world. In this year's scientific examination, I will write the questions and read the papers in person. Qing Yezhuo said softly. It's just that it takes another opportunity to reopen the department, otherwise he will be hit hard, but he believes that this opportunity will be there soon.
"Oh." Tao Yaoyao had already thought that this was to use the Jiang family to contain the Tao family, the Jiang family had no party background, and he was promoted by Qing Yezhuo, so he would only be grateful for his loyalty, and his daughter was in the palace, so he was naturally the best candidate.
Seeing that Tao Xiao Xiao didn't react, Qing Ye Zhuo let go of his heart and hugged her into his arms.
"Child, I-"
"I know, it's politics, I don't blame you, it's what you should do. You are not only my husband, but also the king of a country in Beigao. Tao Yaoyao blushed a little when she said the word husband.
"Son, I'm going to give you a wife to get married."
Is he referring to the post-sealing ceremony?
"Well, I do."
"Child?!" Nightshade was startled.
"I said, I am willing to be your queen and protect the rivers and mountains of Beigao with you." Tao Yaoyao said with a firm look in her eyes.
The two looked at each other, as if they couldn't see enough, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, connecting their shadows together. Just like fate, no matter how much you try to escape, you can't escape.
