Hearing this, the civil and military officials hurriedly silenced and bowed their heads respectfully.

I saw that a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, fair skin, and a slender figure walked in from outside the main hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"See Your Majesty!!"

The person who came was naturally the empress Liang Zhao in male costume.

Empress Liang Zhao strode on the dragon chair, waved her hand slightly, and her cold voice spread throughout the Jinluan Palace:

"Let's be even!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

The civil and military officials bowed their heads again, and then slowly straightened up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to present?"

Empress Liang Zhao looked around at the civil and military officials, and her tone was quite cold.

For some reason, everyone always feels that today's "Emperor Xuan" seems to be a little unhappy?

The ministers glanced at each other and lowered their heads one after another, not wanting to touch the mold of this new majesty at this time.

"Don't you have anything to do?"

Seeing that no one answered, Empress Liang Zhao's brows furrowed slightly, and she unconsciously set her eyes on the only blue coat among the civil and military officials-Zhou Zhenwen, the first assistant of the cabinet.

This person once said that the red-clothed official robe is stained with the blood of the people, and I wear blue to make it clean.

It is precisely because of this that his father promoted him to become the prince and young master, and he really began to lean towards the government and the opposition, and became a powerful minister.

Greedy for power and wealth, do all kinds of evil!

As soon as she thought of this, Empress Liang Zhao pondered for a moment and opened her mouth to probe:

"Scholar Zhou, don't you have anything to do?"

This little emperor probably wants to cut me down, right...... Zhou Zhenwen's thoughts moved slightly, and he walked out, holding the courtboard, bowing slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The minister really has something important to play." ”

"Speak."

Empress Liang Zhao looked at Zhou Zhenwen with interest, she was very curious about what this famous traitor could say.

After the picture of the Sims, Empress Liang Zhao had other ideas about this cabinet chief.

Instead of shooting her to death directly, she felt that she might be able to try to use it at this moment......

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to sue Wen Hongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, for corruption and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, and embezzling money and grain as much as 10,000 taels!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhenwen glanced at the official department of Shangshu expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "Zheng Erpin's Yulu is 61 stone in the month, 732 stone in the year, and one stone of rice is equal to ten buckets of rice, that is to say, the Yulu of the Ministry of Shangshu for a year is 7320 buckets of rice, and according to the conversion of 30 Wen Qian today, your Yulu for a year is almost 220 taels of silver." ”

"Dare to ask Lord Wen, how did you save 10,000 taels of silver?"

"According to your calculations, you need to go without eating or drinking for more than fifty years to save this silver?"

"Have you been an official all these years without eating or drinking?"

"But as far as I know, Lord Wen's family doesn't spend a lot?"

"Your son has to go to Chunfeng Lou every three or five days to buy drunk, Mrs. Ling's jewelry, rouge is countless, the popular style has just been released, and it has not been two days before it arrives in the hands of Mrs. Ling, which is really a good skill!"

"Dare to ask Lord Wen where did all this money come from?"

Hearing this, Wen Hongyi, the secretary of the ministry, trembled slightly, hurriedly walked out, and shouted: "Your Majesty has been wronged!" The minister is wronged! ”

Empress Liang looked at this scene, her expression remained unchanged, and said, "If you have any grievances, tell them as soon as possible!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is an unwarranted disaster!"

"Lao Chen is fifty and six this year, and he is old enough to have a son, so he naturally dotes on him and neglects discipline, so that he goes to Chunfeng Lou to buy drunk, which is the dereliction of duty of Lao Chen, as for the female relatives in the family to buy rouge gouache and jewelry, the money spent is all the money of Lao Chen, and there is no corruption and bribery as Zhou said, not to mention that it is ten thousand taels?"

"Wronged! The old minister has been wronged......"

Wen Hongyi, the secretary of the ministry, knelt down directly, and the old tears were full of tears, wiping his tears with his sleeves, while crying and shouting grievances.

Seeing this situation, Empress Liang Zhao felt a trace of displeasure in her heart: After all, this Wen Hongyi was an old minister of the previous dynasty, and when his father was in power, he was also very important to him, who would have thought that his father had just died, and this traitor planned to do something to him?

As soon as she thought of this, Empress Liang Zhao wanted to open her mouth and hand over the matter to the supervision of Dali Temple for review and temporarily unveiled.

But before Empress Liang could speak, Zhou Zhenwen had already raised the board above his head and said loudly:

"In the third year of Chilong, during his tenure as the director of the Ministry of Rites, he used his authority to collude with Xu Long and others, sold imperial examination questions, and made a profit of 3,000 taels of silver."

"In the ninth year of Chilong, during his tenure as a member of the Criminal Department, he cooperated with Jiang Zhen, the right attendant of the Criminal Department at the time, and deliberately framed Zhao Yong, the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and framed him for colluding with foreign enemies and ......confiscating his home."

"In the twelfth year of Chilong, during his tenure as Hubu Langzhong, he colluded with Xing Luan of the Tiangong Department and Cai Ran of the Forging Department to sell military equipment, old-fashioned bows and crossbows, old-fashioned artillery, long swords, spears and other weapons and equipment, totaling 1,986 pieces, and making a profit of 8,000 taels."

……

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu civil and military forces were immediately in an uproar and whispered.

Many officials glanced at each other, all showing stunned expressions, obviously they didn't expect this old minister of the former dynasty to be so greedy?

Some officials couldn't help but tremble in their legs, their breathing became short, they secretly glanced at Wen Hongyi, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at them again.

There are also many officials who are good friends with Wen Hongyi on weekdays, but they secretly complain in their hearts and bury their heads lower, for fear that they will be affected.

On the dragon chair, Empress Liang Zhao's face also changed slightly, her eyes became sharp, she stared at Wen Hongyi, and asked coldly: "Ministry Shangshu, Master Wen, do you have anything to say?" ”

Wen Hongyi trembled all over, and said tremblingly: "Minister...... Minister...... The minister knew that he was wrong......"

"Humph!"

Empress Liang Zhao snorted coldly, slapped the dragon chair with her hand, and ordered: "Come on, drag Wen Hongyi down to me, and put him in the prison of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three divisions will be tried, within three days, I will know all his crimes, every money, everyone, and I will not tolerate it!" ”

"Obey the order!" ×3

Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate walked out together and saluted respectfully.

"Ahem!"

At this moment, a cough suddenly sounded.

The faces of the three people, Dali Siqing, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate changed slightly, and they all turned their eyes to the figure behind the dragon chair, not daring to continue to speak.

The entire court fell silent in an instant.

Seeing this situation, many ministers muttered in their hearts:

What exactly does the Queen Mother want to do?

Could it be that she is not satisfied with the emperor's disposition?

Empress Liang Zhao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, her face was also a little not good-looking, she didn't know why the Queen Mother was coughing at the moment?

But Chrysostom has already said that if she goes back on her word, she, the emperor, will have no prestige at all.

But Empress Liang Zhao also knows that she has not fully controlled the court at this time, whether it is for the face of the royal family, her own majesty, or the power in the hands of the Queen Mother, she cannot turn against the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, are you still satisfied with your son's handling of this?" Empress Liang Zhao took a deep breath, leaned back in her chair, and asked in a low voice.

There was silence in the hall, and although Liang Zhao's voice was not loud, some ministers standing in the front row could still hear it.

They all bowed their heads respectfully, looking deaf and deaf.

"The emperor has grown up, and these things can be handled by himself."

"The mourning family is not good to participate in ......"

A gentle female voice came from behind the light gauze curtain.

Well?

Does this mean that you are going to give me power?

Hearing this, Liang Zhao's heart instantly became happy, things were actually so smooth?

But soon, the Queen Mother's next sentence made Liang Zhao's joy disappear in an instant.

"Emperor, the position of the secretary of the ministry is of great importance and cannot be suspended, since Wen Hongyi, the secretary of the ministry, is subject to review, it is necessary to let others concurrently serve to ensure the operation of the ministry."

"Queen Mother, do you have a candidate in mind?" Liang Zhao had already guessed what the Queen Mother meant, but he still asked tentatively.

"Liu Yunqing, the right attendant of the ministry, is an honest official, meticulous in handling government affairs, or can take on important responsibilities." The Queen Mother's voice rang out again.

A thin man standing among the civil and military officials showed a look of excitement on his face.

"Yes, what the Queen Mother said is very ......" Empress Liang Zhao was a little unwilling in her heart, she also wanted to support her own people to serve as the secretary of the ministry, but she knew very well that the Queen Mother had been in power for many years, and she had already cultivated a lot of henchmen, and she had a lot of power above the court.

At this moment, you can't offend the Queen Mother because of a small loss.

As soon as he thought of this, Liang Zhao wanted to accept it and let Liu Yunqing temporarily take the position of secretary of the ministry.

But at this moment, the blue-clothed man standing in the center of the civil and military officials raised the courtboard, and said in a calm and firm voice:

"The minister thinks that Liu Yuanqi, the left attendant of the ministry, is more suitable......"
