Chapter 516 A Fierce Dismount

Chuanzhou Prefecture is one of the state capitals closest to the capital. Because of the unique advantages of river transportation, the entire state capital is very rich.

In addition, the scenery is also very beautiful. Decades ago, Emperor Liang built a palace here, so that he could enjoy the scenery and meet officials during his southern tour.

The palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and generations of officials have managed it in an orderly manner. Looking from top to bottom, it looks like a small kingdom.

Tangtang flew on the phoenix for a while, then reluctantly jumped off, and said to Qian Shuang and Ming Wuci who came to greet her:

"Did you go out to enjoy the scenery yesterday? It's so beautiful here. If you don't have other state capitals to go, you can stay here for two days."

Ming Wuci looked anxious: "Your Highness is finally back, are you injured? You dare to run around alone. What if you encounter an ambush?"

Tangtang blinked her eyes and spread her hands at Qian Shuang:
"Sister Qian Shuang, look, there are women who take care of their future sister-in-law before they get married. If this really gets through... help, the second sister-in-law is beating someone!"

Ming Wuci's face turned red when she said it, and he ran after her: "You're talking nonsense, if you still dare to run, stop!"

Tangtang ran into the dormitory like a gust of wind, and as soon as he entered, he was enveloped in the room full of jewels and jewels: "This is it?"

A dazzling array of clothes filled the whole room.

The maid hurriedly came up to meet her: "This is the court clothes, princess clothes and ordinary clothes that His Royal Highness ordered to be delivered by horses yesterday, totaling 72 pieces."

Tangtang fumbled one by one: "Didn't I bring more than a dozen boxes of clothes, why did the prince brother bring them here again?"

"His Royal Highness said that today is the vernal equinox, and His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager wants to wear new clothes, so she asked the Clothing Bureau to make new ones. The styles in the past are old, and His Royal Highness does not look lively when she wears them."

Tangtang's eyes sparkled, pointing to several clothes:

"Wow, it's so pretty. I'll wear these for a few days, and you can keep the rest well and wear them elsewhere."

"Yes."

She went to the inner room to choose jewelry and embroidered shoes, and then sat down in front of the dressing table to let the maids dress her up.

After noon, the officials will be summoned.

Qian Shuang and Ming Wuci followed, and handed over the roster of officials and a stack of memorials.

Tangtang flipped through it, and put all the memorials into the wooden box: "Leave these to Brother Tang Bi, how many Confucian scholars from the guild hall are here?"

Qian Shuang and Ming Wu Ci glanced at each other, hesitated and said:
"A lot of people came, but they were all visiting Mr. Tang. They didn't have much interest in the princess' summoning."

"It is also said that the prince cheated in the exam and committed the same crime as the common people. If the prince is not tattooed and distributed, such a lord will not worship."

Tangtang was not as angry as they imagined, but smiled instead: "Brother Prince said they are very strong, so it is true."

Ming Wuci snorted coldly: "What backbone, it's just the sourness of a literati!"

"If the prince came here today, they would run faster one by one. Unlike now, it is a woman who bullies His Highness."

"Fog Ci." Qian Shuang gave her a tug, shook her head, and signaled her to stop talking.

Tangtang looked at them through the mirror:

"Sister Qianshuang, don't be afraid that Tangtang will be unhappy. Sister Wuci is right. Nowadays, men are respected in the world. We women are in power. Of course they will not accept it."

"100 years ago, after Princess Qinghe married Emperor Feihong, she became the empress of Liang Kingdom at the age of 40."

"What she did, Tangtang will do, and what she didn't do, Tangtang will do."

She was helped up by the palace servants, and the crown on the phoenix crown made her peerless face even more sacred and solemn:

"Sooner or later, they will kneel at my feet one day, so why bother with them today, I really became the little girl they talked about."

Qian Shuang and Ming Wuci were overwhelmed and trembling when they spoke: "Yes, Your Highness Shengming."

Tangtang got dressed up before lunch, and was seated in the meeting hall of the Xinggong Palace. After ringing the bell and beating the drums, the officials from Chuanzhou Prefecture came in to pay a visit.

Civil officials such as governors and prefects are on the left, and generals and generals are on the right. There are more than 100 officials, large and small, standing in the meeting hall.

The civil servants all saluted politely, but the military officer held a fist in his arms reluctantly, looking very unconvinced.

There was also a general with beards all over his face, standing near the door, talking to the people next to him with a loud voice, and was stopped twice before he lowered his voice.

Tangtang waited for him to come to see him and asked, "Are you the right general of the Eastern Sichuan Garrison?"

The general responded with a loud temper.

Tangtang looked at Tang Bi with a smile: "Master Tang?"

Tang Bi saluted, and immediately said loudly: "Ishi Chuan, the right general of the Eastern Sichuan Garrison, is 35 years old and has been in the army for 20 years."

"From the age of 15, he violated military discipline 130 times and lost 46 battles, including [-] times as a general."

"Most of the reasons for the defeat were reckless underestimation of the enemy, self-willedness, disobedience of the commander's order to go deep alone, mutilating the lieutenant general, and massacring the prisoners."

"Because you were once appreciated by the Lord Protector, and you were given a token by the Lord Protector. For so many years, no one in several state capitals dared to touch you."

Every time Tang Bi said a word, the meeting hall became quiet.

As his words fell, all the officials in the hall knelt down, leaving only Shi Chuan standing alone.

Tang Bi looked over coldly: "General Shi, is this dissatisfied? Dare I ask what I said to wrong you, here is the memorial to impeach you, the general can take a look."

Only then did Shi Chuan knelt down and said in a rough voice: "The general will be convicted."

"Since you've been convicted, come here," Tangtang raised his hand, "drag him out and chop off his head, and place it in this meeting hall, so that all adults can watch him speak."

Ming Wuci walked over holding the knife, without giving Shi Chuan a chance to yell and struggle, he just carried it away, and took the tray back in the blink of an eye.

The bloody tray was placed on the high platform of the throne, and the officials could see it clearly from any angle. Two of them fainted on the spot and were carried away by the imperial doctor.

The entire meeting hall was as cold as an ice cellar in March.

Tangtang looked at the officials under the high stage: "Can you talk properly now, my lords?"

Everyone buried their heads even tighter: "The ministers are terrified."

These people all thought that Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager was young and playful, so when they came, they were not prepared to talk about the people's conditions and livelihood in Sichuan Prefecture.

They thought about where to eat and where to have fun, and asked the jugglers in the state capital to prepare a show for several days.

Some people even prepared a few good-looking young gentlemen in the yamen, and prepared to present them when they met the crown princess.

Yesterday, the honor guard of His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager entered the state capital, but no one was seen behind closed doors, which further confirmed their thoughts.

Unexpectedly, it was such a fierce dismounting, everyone was stunned.
