Chapter 1406: Chaos

Tang Xiaozhi's first three days in the court were calm and peaceful.

However, this situation only lasted for three days. From the fourth day onwards, some scenes that made her helpless and powerless finally appeared, that is, the two factions fighting.

Although it was also difficult for Yue Luoning to completely shock these ministers when she was there, her wrists were much stronger than Tang Xiaozhi's, at least she could stabilize the situation and let everything be constrained in the so-called 'rules'.

And this kind of thing, Tang Xiaozhi can't do it at all. What's more, the temporary regent of the prison country is not as authoritative as the real Moon King after all, to put it bluntly, she can't control this situation.

In fact, since the advent of the Ministry of Supervision, there have been far fewer fights among courtiers. Both local ministers and foreign ministers understand that if they continue to fight like that, they will only play together.

Although there was still some secret fighting between the two factions, there was no open dispute.

But since Lin Si went to war, the power of the Ministry of Supervision has been much smaller than before, Du Qi's power is far less than Lin Si, he is not like Lin Si, no one dares to offend, and he is not afraid of retaliation from others.

And after Luo Ning, Ying Fei, Du Qi and others left Xiancheng for Jingcheng that month, the Ministry of Supervision almost temporarily fell into a state of stagnation.

Without the threat of the Ministry of Supervision, and Tang Xiaozhi had no deterrent effect on them at all, plus the authority of the six auxiliary ministers had been greatly enhanced, so they ...... Both factions of ministers lost their restraints at the same time.

There is neither Lin Si nor Yue Luoning, and Tang Xiaozhi, the only Tang Xiaozhi above his head, can't scare them at all, and even the Ministry of Supervision doesn't care about it for the time being, this is completely the most indulgent and free-spirited moment, isn't it?

It's like a naughty child who has been under strict parental discipline in the past, and doesn't dare to do too much out of the ordinary. But now that their parents are away from home, and they are in charge for the time being, what will happen to these naughty children?

The ministers of the Moon Kingdom are not stubborn children, they are scheming ministers. There are many things they want to do in this self-dominated court, such as suppressing political opponents.

What was difficult to do in front of Yue Luoning in the past, it is very likely that it can be done in front of Tang Xiaozhi.

If he hadn't guessed Yue Luoning's intention to divide the ministers early on, and he also knew how Yue Luoning was able to do it with ease, then Tang Xiaozhi, who suddenly faced the scene of the ministers below attacking and abusing each other, would probably be frightened.

However, Yue Luoning's heart and means are not what she can have after all.

Looking at the ministers below who were wantonly attacking and throwing out shocking accusations, she was extremely uneasy in her heart. And when the ministers handed over the charges to her for adjudication, she seemed even more dispossessed.

In addition, each of the six auxiliary ministers has more arbitrary power than the previous prime minister. One powerful minister is terrible enough, let alone six?

Even if they bypass her, the regent princess, they can still do a lot in private......

In the past, the arrest of an official of the imperial court required a court consultation and a holy decree. After that, it still needs to go through a complicated trial, and finally the results will be reported to His Majesty the Moon King for a final ruling.

Now, it's not that complicated. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yue Luoning gave the six auxiliary ministers great arbitrary power.

This may have been a special power in the face of a critical situation, but now it is regarded as a 'wishful thinking' by these ministers.

Yang Yu directly led people to copy the book of the Ministry of Officials of the former Dynasty of Qianlan, and the home of Rao Hanguang, the current servant of the Ministry of Officials.

In retaliation, Xi Zhen directly dismissed the official of the Ministry of Works.

And afterwards, Tang Xiaozhi didn't know what to do with them, she had no way to deal with this situation at all, did she want her to arrest Yang Yu and Xi Zhen?

To be honest, she didn't have that decision. Without Yang Yu and Xi Zhen, I'm afraid this court will be in chaos, right?

Her weakness made the ministers finally let go of their courage.

Maybe at this time, Yang Yu and Xi Zhen didn't expect that the things that would get worse later, and maybe even these two cases were really incriminating evidence.

However, this is also a very bad start.

When the first direct arrest was successful, everything that followed seemed so natural.

Just as Yue Luoning couldn't resist the temptation of 'burning Tianhe', which obviously hurt Tianhe, but was extremely in line with her goals and interests, the ministers of the two factions couldn't resist this temptation of power to do whatever they wanted.

What kind of temptation is it that a political opponent who usually takes a lot of effort to barely bring it down, and who may even get back up later, can now be directly executed with a perfunctory accusation?

If the person who drove the expedition was Yueshan, the ministers would definitely not dare to mess around. But Yue Luoning couldn't give the ministers such a sense of fear. And other than that, they can't stop.

If you don't do anything at this time and watch your political enemies deal with you, you will just sit back and wait for death!

Anyway, I did it, and this power was given by Yue Luoning. What's more, the law doesn't blame the public, even if Yue Luoning comes back afterwards, what can she say? Could she still remove all six auxiliary ministers?

Subsequently, Li Mu put the seven Qianlanqingchuan Southern Qi generals who were incorporated into the Xiancheng Military Headquarters after surrendering to the Yue Kingdom, and they were all charged with crimes, beaten into rebellion, and even arrested and beaten in prison......

In just a few days, more than 20 officials and nobles in Xiancheng have been defeated, and even dismissed or even imprisoned. And these things, she, the princess regent, only learned about them after the fact.

There are more and more similar incidents, and as time goes by, the Xiancheng officialdom is spiraling out of control at a breakneck pace. Almost everyone in the officialdom and aristocratic circles of Xiancheng is in danger, not only officials and aristocrats, but even literati and celebrities have been affected.

Princess Regent Tang Xiaozhi couldn't control such a situation at all. Unless she has the ruthlessness to rectify the six auxiliary ministers, but even if she has such ruthlessness, she can't do it.

Because, she doesn't have that kind of power at all. These six auxiliary ministers are now only half a level below her. Before Yue Luoning left, she made it very clear that the six of them were used to supervise and assist Tang Xiaozhi, the princess of the prison king.

The power of the auxiliary minister is too great, so big that he can bypass her, the princess, and directly call the official to send a private army to the nobles' mansion to arrest people, which is completely an extremely absurd and chaotic period.

Tang Xiaozhi knew very well that the reason why such an unbelievable thing happened, in addition to the fact that the ministers of the two factions had long hidden old grudges, in addition to the lack of authority of Yue Luoning, and the fact that he did not handle it well, the most fundamental reason was that Yue Luoning herself gave the auxiliary minister too much arbitrary power.

There have been many kings in history, and they have never seen such a thing happen. Why? Because the other auxiliary ministers don't have the courage to do whatever they want, let alone that much power.

Outsiders may not know Yue Luoning so well, but Tang Xiaozhi knows very well that Yue Luoning will not make such a mistake.

All this in front of her should be a situation she deliberately created.

At this point, Tang Xiaozhi already vaguely understood what Yue Luoning wanted to do. No wonder she wants to drive the expedition herself, she clearly deliberately let the situation get out of control.

The struggle between the two factions has tended to ease because of the appearance of the Ministry of Supervision, which is obviously not what Yue Luoning wants to see. She wanted them to fight more intensely, so she deliberately left to give them room to fight. At the same time, they deliberately give them great power on both sides, and let them use that power to kill you to death.

Even if Yang Yu and Xi Zhen would start that start, it is likely that someone she secretly arranged to help the trouble.

This is the only inside story that Tang Xiaozhi can guess, and this is because she has already guessed Yue Luoning's intention to divide the two factions. However, even so, she still didn't understand, how would Yue Luoning end up in the future if she did this?

Is there really no problem in allowing those officials to fall victim to the struggle in this way? Is it true that there will not be good officials who have died innocently and in vain? With so many people dead, will there be no chaos in the government and government?

Could it be that there is only one Du Qi that she values, so she only takes him with her, and she doesn't care how the others die?

As the concubine of the prison king, no one dared to move Tang Xiaozhi herself, no matter how hard the ministers of the two factions fought, they still maintained respect for her on the surface, and no one dared to stretch out their hands to her. But even so, she was scared.

It's not that I'm afraid of my own safety, but I'm afraid that if this continues, the situation will be completely rotten, especially now that the Moon Kingdom is wartime! Yue Luoning, is she crazy?

The only thing she was glad about was that the affairs related to the two wars of Zixing and Tianhe were not authorized by the ministers of the two factions, and even Taiwei Limu did not have the qualifications to act on his own.

In times of war, everything has to make way for war. The intelligence, logistics and other departments of these two wars were all directly in charge of Fuyao, and Fuyao is now directly responsible to Princess Tang Xiaozhi, without her holy decree jade seal, no one can reach out to this.

General Wei Fuyao, who seems to be calm over the years, has always been an important figure that all the ministers in the court cannot ignore. During the war, he was regarded as a logistics manager, and the two siblings, Yue Luoning and Lin Si, trusted him very much. And in peacetime, the three armies of the Praetorian Guard, the Imperial Forest Army, and the City Guards under his control are also the strongest military force in Xiancheng.

His own strength is not weak, and the strength he has in his hands is strong, General Wei is one of the second-rank generals, and in the end, coupled with Lin Si's special attention and closeness, his identity and status have become very special.

Although he was not ranked as the third duke, and he was not appointed as the auxiliary minister this time, no one dared to touch him.

Tang Xiaozhi felt that she might need to discuss it with Fuyao now. She is also clear about the relationship between Fuyao and Lin Si, and she feels that this former senior should be the only person she can count on now.

She didn't want to see the situation continue to develop like this, even if it was deliberately created by Yue Luoning, she didn't want to ......

After receiving her summons, Fuyao soon came to the palace.

"I don't know why the princess summoned her ministers to come?" As soon as he entered the study, he made a courtesy.

"Don't make fun of me, what's the courtesy. "Maybe it's because I dealt with it when I was in the city of school parks.,In the face of Fuyao,Tang Xiaozhi is very open.。

It's just that the Fuyao in front of her doesn't seem to be as joking as it was back then.

"You are now the concubine appointed by His Majesty, which is equivalent to the Moon King at this moment, and of course the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished!" he said with a straight face.

"Alas......" Tang Xiaozhi sighed bitterly, determined not to continue to dwell on this topic, she had no leisure to be amused at all now.

And the next moment, she said something that made Fuyao's face unnatural.

"When Yue Luoning left, did she give you a special explanation?"

"This ...... I wonder what the princess is referring to?"

"In front of me, do you still want to hide it deliberately?" Tang Xiaozhi's face flashed with a heavy look of disappointment. (To be continued.) )
