Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1273
He is no longer that weak-tempered king who allows bad-hearted people to tell tales.

The members of the Xuanyuan family, after all, come from the blood of the royal family, and they have the appearance of being kings in the world. Xuanyuanche had it back then, and Xuanyuanchen now has it.

"Your Majesty really broke us by saying this, but Your Majesty also needs to take care of his health and don't work too hard."

Xuanyuanchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: "What Aiqing said is very true. Now Beiyan is in troubled times, so Gu naturally needs to take care of himself, so that he can take care of all these chaos."

The courtiers are naturally the most clear about the chaos that Wang Shang said.

Sitting behind the curtain, the Queen Mother saw her son like this, and wondered in her heart, when did Xiao Liu have such courage?

She probably thought that Xuanyuan Chenshang was the child she controlled for herself, and she just woke up when she saw him in charge today.

It's just that the queen mother is the queen mother, Xuanyuanchen's mother, and it is very common for the mother to choose the concubine for her son. No matter how unwilling Xuanyuanchen is, she will definitely not refute herself in front of the courtiers. face.

Thinking about this, the queen mother said: "It's my luck for Beiyan to be diligent in government. It's just that the king governs the country. You should know that giving birth to children is also one of the state affairs and cannot be ignored."

Xuanyuanchen turned his head slightly, looked down at the bead curtain from the corner of his eyes, and replied: "What the mother teaches is that one should obey the mother's arrangements alone."

Hearing what Xuanyuanchen said, the queen mother smiled slightly with satisfaction. After all, he did not dare to disobey her.

"The prince is filial, so the Ai family ordered the servants to bring people in."

"No rush." ​​Xuanyuan Che interrupted, "Wait for Gu to finish dealing with the political affairs first, and then choose the harem."

After he finished speaking, his eyes stayed on the Prime Minister, Feng Cang understood, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the report from the Ministry of War, a large number of merchant horse teams have poured into Beiyan City recently, which is very suspicious."

Xuanyuanchen asked: "What's suspicious?"

"Beiyan's law clearly stipulates that the first thing for foreign merchants to enter the city is to go to the official post to hand over the document, and then the waiter at the official post will arrange the inn to stay. Firstly, it is to protect the personal safety of these merchants, and secondly, it is to prevent illegal activities. Those who used the name of merchants to infiltrate the capital of Northern Yan."

Feng Cang has assisted Beiyan for many years, and he was the one who wrote this law back then. Beiyan is located in the vast northern border, and has many transactions with other neighboring countries. Mark of.

Most of the officials and merchants are appointed by the imperial court, and they usually transport materials for the imperial court's sole use. If it is a time of war, most of the officials and merchants will be conscripted by the Ministry of War to transport food and supplies.

The other one is merchants. This type of merchants has all kinds of religions and nine streams, and they can enter Beiyan in a grand manner. Because of the merchants entering the city, there are many disputes with the people of the capital. Although it is only a dispute, But also must pay attention to.

What's more serious is that in the past few years, a group of merchants who came from nowhere had provoked trouble in the capital.Also since then, the old King of Beiyan has been thinking of establishing a law to specifically restrict these merchants who come and go to Beiyan.

It was at that time that Feng Cang drafted such a law.

Since the promulgation of this law, it has been quite effective.Because the merchants who entered Beiyan directly stayed at the inn arranged by the official station, and these merchants had to show their ID documents as proof of identity when they entered the city, so it was no longer as reckless as before.

"What the prime minister said is true." Xuanyuan Chen said, "But what did you find out?"

"The goods brought by those merchants, on the surface, are just ordinary spices and playthings, and there is no difference, but the documents issued by them are not issued by the Ministry of Households."

As Feng Cang said, he took out the customs clearance certificate from his sleeve, and the chief supervisor hurriedly took it and presented it to the king.

"It's really different." Xuanyuanchen held it in his hand to identify it carefully, "Why did that group forge my Beiyan's customs clearance certificate?"

"According to the inspection and report by the Ministry of War, there are tens of thousands of pearl treasures hidden under those spice playthings, and there are several rare treasures among them. The officials who handled the case saw the huge number and questioned other things. Knowing this The matter is very involved, so I reported it to the old minister for a decision."

Xuanyuanchen asked: "What other circumstances? How can it be so involved?"

Feng Cang also ordered someone to submit the prisoner's statement, along with several deeds for the land and house, as well as some current account vouchers.

All the ministers were panicked, not knowing who was involved in this case, and they were all worried.Whether the official is doing a good job or not, naturally only I know.

I saw that Xuanyuan Chen's face became more and more serious as he looked at it, and the courtiers under him did not dare to make a sound, and suddenly heard the king scold: "It's really audacious!"

This stern sound made all the ministers kneel down in fright, shouting in their mouths: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Chen Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Tingfu, Secretary of the Shaofu Temple, and Duan Zhijie, Director of the Ministry of Rites." Xuanyuan Chen called out the names of the three of them word by word, as if reading the death book, "You explain to Gu, what are these? !"

Xuanyuanchen swung his hand down, and the paper scattered all over the place and fell to the ground slowly.

The three quickly picked up the evidence, and after reading the evidence in fear, they realized that they had been exposed.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" The three fell to their knees in unison, begging for mercy incessantly.

Seeing this scene, the queen mother behind the bead curtain had an imperceptible color flash across her face.

Xuanyuanchen asked coldly: "The three of you took advantage of your position to bribe, and all kinds of evidence are here, so why do you have to argue?"

"This minister deserves to die, I beg the king to forgive me!"

The Grand Supervisor got the king's wish and ordered the guards to take the three of them down and torture them carefully.

"The prime minister handled this matter very well, and I feel so relieved." Xuanyuan Chen stood up slowly, stretched leisurely, and turned to look at the queen mother, "Where are the girls chosen by the queen mother for the orphan, let them come in Bar!"

The corner of the queen mother's mouth twitched uncontrollably, she should have expected it when she saw Xuanyuan Chen cooking the three ministers.

Among the selected women are all the children of the three ministers' families.

"No need." The Empress Dowager stood up, "The mourning family is exhausted, and the selection of the harem will be discussed later."

"Everything is up to the queen mother." Xuanyuan Chen stood up straight, "It's just that as the king of Beiyan alone, it's not good if the harem doesn't even have a rightful master. Does the queen mother think so?"

"Wang'er is thoughtful and thoughtful, and there is a gully in his chest. Naturally, the Ai family has no opinion."

"Since that's the case, all the ministers are here today, so I have to announce an important event." Xuanyuan Chen turned to face the ministers, "Today, the Gu canonize Princess Mu Yun of Nanyan as my queen of Beiyan. marriage."

"What?!" The Queen Mother lifted the bead curtain in shock and rushed to the front hall, "What did you say?!"

"If I want to marry Mu Yun as the Queen of Beiyan, will the queen mother be happy?" Xuanyuan Chen smiled slightly and asked knowingly.
