Chapter 242 The Palace Scandal (1)
As expected, Han Qian handed the ring in his hand to Wu Miao, and lifted his chin slightly: "Give it to him."

Wu Miao took the relic of the former empress with both hands and ran over in small steps and handed it to the courtier.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you Princess... ah no! Thank you Empress!" The man kowtowed again after receiving the item.

Han Qian waved his hand to let the man back down, then looked at Yang Dechen and Shang Shilian in front of him, and said with a light smile, "How about it, Master Yang, Master Shang? You scholars also want to eat, right?"

"Scum! A scum among scholars!" Yang Dechen pointed at the person who received the ring just now, and cursed angrily.

The person who took the ring immediately shouted back: "Master Yang! What you said is wrong! What reason do we ministers have to object? The Han family has made contributions to the Dayun Sheji, and Princess Han has never done anything harmful. Why do you keep saying that she is a witch? Princess Han is the daughter of Princess Dachang and the niece of the Dayun royal family. If she is a witch, then what is it that I, Dayun, are listed as the first emperor? You are a big treason! Your Majesty has a deep love for Princess Han, and it is a happy event and a good thing to make her a queen!"

"It's nonsense! It's nonsense! You're crazy! You've been driven mad by that 5 taels of silver!" Shang Shilian pointed at the man and cursed.

"My lord Shang, my lord Yang, don't need to say too much. Yelling and swearing are the actions of street shrews. Today we are only speaking the truth." Han Qian was calm and sneered and interrupted the two who were almost insane, "Master Yang Now you are a fifth-rank scholar of the Hanlin Academy, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, but your wife has no orders, and your old mother is still a private woman, right?"

"So what?!" Yang Dechen flicked his sleeves and raised his head in a rather dignified manner.

Han Qian looked at Yang Dechen's stubborn old face with a smile, and asked, "If I am made a queen by His Majesty in the future, I will make your old mother a fifth-rank pleasant person, and your wife a sixth-rank safe person. How about it?"

"You!" Yang Dechen was at a loss for words.His wife has been with him for 40 years, sharing joys and sorrows with him, and now she is almost [-], and she is still a commoner... And his old mother is looking forward to day and night, hoping that she can have a title before she dies.

However, these years, Yang Dechen insisted that he was an upright official, he wanted to be upright and honest, he never did those flattery things, and he was not a person who could enjoy himself in the officialdom.Besides, he didn't have any outstanding political achievements, and he couldn't reach his wife and son at all.So his old mother's wish may not come true even if she dies.

"You, Mr. Yang, have worked hard for the Dayun Sheji for 31 years. In the early years, you sent down Qipin County Magistrate. Later, you returned to Beijing to serve as a speaker, and then you returned to Shangshuyuan to teach the children of the royal family. After your Majesty ascended the throne, you entered the Imperial Academy... this In the past 31 years, as you said, no matter whether you went to be a magistrate, a professor in Shangshuyuan, or an editor in the Imperial Academy, you have never been greedy for ink, confiscated any money from the officials and students below. Bribe. Am I right?" Han Qian asked again.

Yang Dechen blushed, flicked his sleeves and turned around: "As an official of the imperial court, I eat the king's salary and share the worries for the king! This is my duty as an official, and you don't need to count and judge!"

"That's right! You also know the salary of eating the king, and share your worries for you." Han Qian said, his face changed, and he asked, "But you are now eating the salary of the king, but you are rebellious, and you keep contradicting and questioning your majesty. Isn't this a crime of disobedience?"

"I……"

Yang Dechen still wanted to continue to argue, but Han Qian interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Master Yang, whether you want to seal your wife's shadow or throw you into a cell is all up to you. Take care of yourself. Think about it. Also——I, Han Qian, was the princess appointed by the late emperor, not a demon girl. Next time you dare to call me a 'monster girl', this princess will be able to punish you without your Majesty speaking."

"You..." Yang Dechen wanted to say that you, a princess, have the power to punish the official, but when he looked up and saw the string of bracelets in Han Qian's hand, his face changed color in fright.

Aren't those hand beads the same string of tourmalines that the late emperor used to play with every day? !
"Yang Dechen, you step back first, and then return to the words of the princess after you think about it." Han Qian looked at Yang Dechen's listless look, and said coldly.

"Yes." Facing the late emperor's tourmaline bracelet, Yang Dechen suddenly turned into a defeated rooster, and retreated in a hurry.

"Sir Shang, do you have any other scriptures?" Han Qian looked at Shang Shilian coldly and asked.

"Your Princess Han is very capable! Your Princess Han is amazing!" Shang Shilian gave Han Qian a thumbs up, and sneered, "You can suppress important officials in the court at a young age, and you will not be able to hang down the curtain when you grow up. Listening to politics? Hehehe...I admire you! I admire you so much!"

After hearing this, Han Qian's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously turned to look at Yun Shuo.

Yun Shuo chuckled and said, "Sir Shang, what do you mean by that? Are you cursing me to die early?"

"I dare not." Shang Shilian immediately withdrew his sharpness and knelt down on the ground.

"Don't you dare?" Yun Shuo sneered, "Is there anything you dare not do, Mr. Shang? You are a person who has been bestowed by the late emperor, and you are an admonishing minister! You are an admonishing minister! You are a loyal minister!"

Shang Shilian bowed his head and knelt on the ground, not daring to argue.

Yun Shuo sneered and said, "Since ancient times, when did admonishing and remonstrating ministers become famous all over the world? Hmm? When?!"

"It's all when the foolish king is in power!" Yun Shuo yelled coldly, "You have repeatedly spoken out against me today, are you going to force me to be a foolish king?! You want to force me to be a foolish king so that you can achieve your reputation in this life! Let your name go down in history as an outspoken adviser! Right?"

"I dare not!" Shang Shilian's back was drenched in cold sweat.

"You want to be an admonisher, you want your name to go down in history, and I will help you." Yun Shuo looked coldly at Shang Shilian who was kneeling on the ground, "I will make your reputation perfect, and I will be a foolish king! Someone—" Yun Shuo Wave to call the guard.

"Your Majesty." Han Qian hurried forward, took Yun Shuo's hand and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, no. Qianqian begs Your Majesty to forgive Lord Shang this time. Lord Shang is not bad at heart, but he is too straightforward. Maybe he is too Hearing other people's distorted words, maybe he was just confused for a while. In short, I beg His Majesty to give him a chance."

Yun Shuo looked down at Han Qian, frowned and asked, "You pleaded for him?!"

"Qianqian is not pleading for someone." Han Qian looked up at Yunshuo, and sighed softly, "Qianqian just remembered what the late emperor once said to Qianqian. The late emperor once said that the crown prince is a filial child. Therefore, because of this sentence, Qianqian begs His Majesty not to care about like Shang Shilian today."

Yun Shuo nodded lightly, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for reminding me. I really deserve that my father loved you so much when he was alive. It really is Qiqiao Linglong's heart. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Qian supported Yun Shuo's hand and stood up.
