Chapter 142 Attacking Qi Yuming
When the common people in Selangor rushed to tell each other about the public examination, at the long-lost court meeting in Shengjing City, Lan Yao, who was trying to reform the law, ushered in the most violent counterattack since she took office.

Jinluan Hall, court meeting.

Due to Feng Jin's incident yesterday, apart from a confrontation with Bai Qinghong, Lan Yao did not handle any government affairs at the court meeting, her style of doing things was quite different from the previous days, and she had to work hard and wait for half a month The ministers who accepted the results couldn't help muttering and feeling uneasy again.

Lan Yao sat on a high seat in a luxurious attire, with a hidden worry in her brows, obviously her mind had already flown to a distant place.

After the red tape was over, Lan Yao looked at the mob of courtiers standing below, and finally locked her eyes on Prime Minister Qi Yuming who was the leader, and asked her guilt in a very oppressive voice:

"My lord, Qi Ziyang, the governor of Xuezhou, opened a gold mine privately and tortured and killed the people. He not only corrupted and formed a party for personal gain, but also framed loyal ministers and good generals in an attempt to commit chaos in front of me. What's your opinion on this matter? Or, what do you think? Do you have anything to say to me and the people of the world?"

Lan Yao was really relentless, and when she came up, she used Qi Tiancheng's inseparable conspiracy to attack Qi Yuming, as if she was trying to vent her anger on someone.

Lan Yao threw a big thunder when she came up, clearly sharpening her knife at the prime minister who had been holding back.

The atmosphere in the entire Golden Luan Hall instantly became solemn, and all the officials felt even more anxious. Only Jing Wang Ningyi, who was the first to witness all this, watched all this with indifferent eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Faced with Lan Yao's attack, Prime Minister Qi Yuming is not a vegetarian either. He has been in the officialdom for decades, and he has already been able to hide his emotions and anger. This time he directly bowed his head and admitted his mistake:
"Qi Tiancheng is a side branch of my Qi family. He committed such a heinous crime. The minister is indeed responsible for the lack of supervision, but he is so bold that the veteran minister really doesn't know."

"Qi Tiancheng has such evil intentions, please His Majesty investigate and deal with it seriously. All those involved in the case should be punished accordingly. The veteran is willing to take the lead in accepting the punishment."

Qi Yuming's attitude was surprisingly good, and such high-sounding words were heard by all the courtiers, which further highlighted his excellent qualities.

But hearing these words in Lan Yao's ears, it made her feel slightly angry.

This old fox clearly wanted to retreat and accept punishment. She has no evidence now, so of course she has no way to pull down this well-loved and famous minister.

But if it’s just like this, it’s absolutely impossible——

A bone-chilling chill filled Lan Yao's eyes, and the next moment, she smiled and said something creepy:

"What Qi Tiancheng committed was the treasonous crime of punishing the nine clans. If Mr. Prime Minister wants to set an example, the punishment will be beheading. Don't you know, Mr. Prime Minister?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone felt even more frightened.

For a moment, all civil and military officials of the court felt that Lan Yao's half-smile expression seemed to be the same as the violent and arrogant Ning Shu in the past, and couldn't help but think of the bloody scene that happened during the previous court meeting.

It was the first court meeting held by Her Majesty the Empress, who was promoted through a coup. Her Majesty the Empress, who was known as unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous, abdicated.

I still remember that noble woman just twitched the corners of her mouth slightly when she listened to the swear words, and then she caught off guard with her long sword and went to the leader, the former minister of rites, Jiang Nianming, and chopped off the head of the famous minister who would rather not bend. When the blood splattered three feet, he threw down a sentence lightly:
"Whoever opposes it will end like this!"

That deterrence left deep fear in the hearts of the onlookers, but it was only the beginning. The loyal minister Liang who refused to surrender that day was directly killed by her ten to ten, and even brought their relatives. Those who beheaded for public display and skinned and boned are everywhere.

When the emperor was angry, rivers of blood flowed above the Golden Luan Hall; in Shengjing City, the Qingliu family was directly and forcefully purged, and the nine clans were implicated.

That day coincided with the first day of March, and the tragic massacre carried out by Ning Shu in order to maintain the imperial rule was also regarded as a dark day.

After this point, no one dared to risk their lives to confront this rebellious and bloodthirsty Queen.

And today, Her Majesty the Empress, who claims to have turned from evil to righteousness and is determined to be a wise emperor, is going to kill again?

When everyone was worried, Qi Yuming, who had expected such a crisis, gave a slight salute, and said in a calm tone:
"Your Majesty's Sacred Heart makes a decision, and I believe that His Majesty will deal with it fairly."

Qi Yuming's eyes were full of shrewdness, he had prepared for a long time and directly put a high hat on Lan Yao:
"Your Majesty has been warned by the heavens to practice benevolent government. If you think about it, you will definitely not kill innocent people indiscriminately. I have neglected to observe this matter, but if you are convicted of a crime because of your blood and lose your life, how can all the people in this world trust Your Majesty to change your past and change your heart for good? "

What Qi Yuming said was well-founded. After he opened his mouth to defend himself, all the ministers who belonged to his faction also knelt down on the ground one after another and begged for mercy:
"The prime minister has worked so hard to protect me, and sleeps long and hard. It can be said that he has made great achievements. The crimes committed by Qi Tiancheng should not be implicated in the prime minister."

"I can't do without the prime minister. The prime minister has worked so hard for the state affairs and the welfare of the people. Such loyalty and merit, even if the merits and demerits are equal, His Majesty should not punish him!"

"The Prime Minister is concerned about the country and the people. If you say that he will join forces with that hypocrite Qi Tiancheng, I will absolutely not believe it. If there is no evidence, your Majesty must not jump to conclusions, otherwise it will only chill the hearts of the people in the world to serve the country loyally!"

……

All the pleadings are full of nonsense with their eyes open. I don't know if this well-known prime minister is too good at pretending, or this group of ministers who only know how to fight for power and profit have already taken refuge in secret.

Lan Yao just looked at them with indifferent eyes and praised the prime minister, until finally the group of guys who saw people ordering dishes directly knelt for more than half, and the thousands of words of persuasion merged into one sentence:
"Your Majesty, please think twice and ask your Majesty's Sacred Heart to make a decision!"

Lan Yao made such a fuss just to train Qi Yuming, to force him to jump over the wall in a hurry, and to go on that road of no return. How could he really take these guys under the knife without a legitimate reason? Self-destruction is finally a little bit better Fame, immediately down this ladder:
"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. I also believe that there is a fair judgment on whether this is right or wrong."

"I just now know that the Prime Minister is deeply respected by all the officials and loved by the people. Since this is the case, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and restore the Prime Minister's innocence. Don't worry, everyone, I will never implicate the innocent."

"Oh, by the way, since it is said that the innocent are not implicated, since I started this, I will abolish the crime of implicating people from today."
