Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 460 Take Power Toughly!

As soon as Shen Ninghua's redefined standards for the speaker came out, all the officials in the court immediately admired him, especially the speaker, after Zhu Zheng spoke, he directly stood on the same position with him.

Originally, Qiu Ming spoke righteously and acted righteously, but now he was sweating profusely and kept looking back and forth at his former friends, hoping that they would support him quickly.

Shen Ninghua glanced at Qiu Ming coldly: "Qiu Ming, I told you about the new standard for speech officers, now you can evaluate yourself, are you qualified to be among the speech officers?"

Qiu Ming's face turned pale, but his mouth was extraordinarily stubborn: "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that he is in line with your empress's standards for speaking officials, so is it because the subordinate officials speak up outrightly and say what is wrong with your empress, so your empress is going to kill them all? "

Shen Ninghua sneered: "With your whole body, only this mouth can touch the speaker. Since you don't admit it, then I will tell you why you are not qualified: First, you are extraordinarily pampering your only son." , Even when he was jealous of others in the brothel and caused a life lawsuit, he covered it up for him; second, because your only son was born to a concubine, you even promoted the concubine's room and suppressed the main family in the mansion. Three, your little concubine Liu has often accepted bribes for you, right?"

Qiu Ming's legs and feet were weak, and he almost couldn't stand still. He had clearly settled the lawsuit, and he did other things very secretly. Why did the matter still reach the Queen's ears?
Shen Ninghua turned around and walked up the steps slowly, flicked her sleeves abruptly, and sat down on the dragon chair smoothly and naturally: "Before the Emperor's imperial conquest, he left a secret decree and a Shangfang sword for the purpose of punishing Corrupt officials like you! Today is the first day for me to supervise the administration of the country. You don’t say that it’s snowing outside, you don’t say that the disasters in various places are serious, and you don’t talk about how to save the people from the fire and water. How can this palace tolerate you, a person who disowns his authority and acts recklessly without the common people?"

Qiu Ming knelt on the ground with a thud: "Madam, I didn't indulge my son, let alone instruct my concubine to accept bribes, it's all nonsense, please be careful..."

"Your son murdered, there are witnesses, and there are accusers who escaped your pursuit. Let the criminal department try it. Whether you are guilty or not, we will talk after the trial. Come here, take off his crown, drag it down, and break into it. Sky Prison."

This time, the Dragon Scale Army stepped forward quickly, without giving Qiu Ming any chance to argue.Qiu Ming was dragged away, and he was almost stunned: "The Empress is clearly aware, I have been wronged..."

Shen Ninghua didn't look at the courtiers below until his shouts could no longer be heard: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment will carefully review the matter of Qiu Ming. After the review, write a note and submit it."

"Yes." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment hastily agreed.

"Okay, the delay is not too short. My lords know that the snowstorm is serious now. Although the emperor has made arrangements before leaving, it is extremely difficult to implement due to the heavy snow blocking the roads. A backup plan. In addition, the emperor is now personally driving the conquest. Because of time constraints, the food and grass raised can barely support the army for a month. Now Da'an Kingdom can be described as internal and external troubles, as if stepping on a natural moat, and the consequences of a little carelessness are disastrous , Therefore, it is necessary for all adults to pool their wisdom and work together to tide over the difficulties."

"Yes, I should do my best."

The officials who had been prepared for a long time immediately submitted their notebooks and began to elaborate on the contents of their reports.Shen Ninghua listened very carefully, sorted out the similar memorials, and found a few good ones, she quickly picked them out and prepared to study them carefully later.

The other old-school courtiers couldn't sit still when they saw that the new courtiers were so prominent, and presented the plan they had discussed with the guest minister overnight.

This morning, the court lasted for almost two and a half hours before it ended. Shen Ninghua left behind a few officials with plausible views, and then announced his withdrawal from the court.

Hong Ling coaxed San Zhuang in the back hall, and looked at the door of the hall from time to time: "Sister Qingque, the queen hasn't come back yet?"

"No, it should be soon. Just now, the servant said that the morning court has been finished. I heard that the empress has left a few ministers to discuss matters. It shouldn't take much time."

Hong Ling anxiously watched San Zhuang's non-stop crying, feeling extremely anxious: "His Highness the Third Prince has been breastfed by the empress herself since birth, so he doesn't recognize the nanny at all. Now crying so badly, I'm afraid he is very hungry."

Qingque was silent for a while, then turned and walked out: "I'll go to the front hall to have a look."

About half an hour later, Shen Ninghua came back.Hong Ling almost cried anxiously: "Empress Empress, you are finally back, Your Highness the Third Prince has been crying for a long time."

San Zhuang felt his mother's breath, turned his head slightly, and sobbed a few times.Shen Ninghua quickly picked him up, touched his little face that was red from crying: "Mother is coming back late, please stop crying."

San Zhuang leaned against Shen Ninghua's arms extremely dependently, holding the clothes on her chest with his small hands, rubbing his small face slightly.Shen Ninghua put him back on the bed: "Mother will hug you after changing her clothes, don't cry, you understand?"

After being put down, San Zhuang couldn't help curling his lips, but seeing that Shen Ninghua hadn't gone out, he didn't cry out, but just yelled twice from time to time to show his sense of existence.

Shen Ninghua changed her clothes and washed her hands before picking up the child. After feeding him, she relaxed a little and felt that she was also hungry.Hong Ling had already had breakfast brought over, and quickly served Shen Ninghua to eat.

"My lady, why did it take so long?"

"On the first day of the court today, I had to find out the situation of the court and deal with the sharp thorns. Naturally, it took a little longer. It will be all right in a few days. Can Jun Yi send a message?"

"Reporting to Madam, the emperor sent someone to send an order, saying that everything is safe and sound, please rest assured, Madam."

"Yeah." Shen Ninghua nodded, and then couldn't help but smiled wryly, "I'm too impatient, Jun Yi has only been gone for a day, so there's nothing going on."

"The empress is too worried about the emperor."

After a while, the boss and little treasure came to play with San Zhuang, Shen Ninghua asked someone to watch over them, and took the memorial to study on the sidelines.Hong Ling came over with tea: "Niang Niang, I just received the news from Hua Jun's medicine shop that the snow in the south of the Yangtze River has stopped."

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, recalled the time in the previous life, and murmured slightly: "Stop it? It should stop, how is the situation in Jiangnan?"

"In the south of the Yangtze River, there is food prepared by the empress in advance, and Huajun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is working hard to stabilize the price of food, which is still stable."

Shen Ninghua was not too optimistic: "I didn't buy a lot of food before, and it's almost consumed now. Before Jun Yi left, he ordered the official warehouses in various places to count the amount of food. Now the statistics should be almost over. Let the medicine store The people around are watching, if anyone tampers with the food, they will be tied up and sent to the capital immediately, and they will be severely punished!"

"Yes, ma'am."

After noon, the three children fell asleep after eating and drinking. Shen Ninghua rubbed his shoulders and felt a soreness. Just as he was about to take a rest, Qing Que suddenly walked in: "Mother, Prince De please see me."

Shen Ninghua was taken aback: "Prince De... Baili Jinchuan?"

"Yes."

After pondering for a while, Shen Ninghua still decided to meet him: "Help me change my clothes, I'll meet him."

Baili Jinchuan stood outside the palace, his heart beating non-stop in his chest. Looking at the heavy palace door, he felt that the whole person was out of his control, and he couldn't help but hate himself like this from the bottom of his heart. Maybe, why not give up completely!

After waiting for about half an hour, the gate of the palace opened, and Shen Ninghua came out with Hong Ling and Qing Que behind him.

Baili Jinchuan's expression froze for a moment, and then he stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the empress."

"Prince De excuse me, I don't know why you came to see me?" Shen Ninghua looked cold.

Baili Jinchuan looked at Qingque and Hongling: "Can I have a few words with your empress alone?"

"You and I have nothing to say to others, so don't you need to avoid it?"

Baili Jinchuan hooked the corners of his lips expressionlessly: "That's right, my mother has always acted decisively, which is quite appropriate. I came here today to apologize to my mother. I blamed me for not taking good care of my princess and driving her crazy. There are so many incidents."

Although this war was not all because of Bu Yonghan, she was the trigger after all, and he should come to make amends.

"I have also heard before that the concubine fell into a serious illness, which caused her to be in a daze. She did something out of her madness, which was unexpected. Prince De doesn't need to apologize."

Listening to her combing tone, even though he was prepared in his heart, he still felt like a knife was twisting his heart. Baili Jinchuan gritted his teeth hard to stabilize his emotions: "Empress, this time I enter the palace to ask for an audience. In addition to apologizing, I also need to apologize. There is one thing I want to tell my mother."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes to look at him, without the slightest emotion in her clear eyes: "I don't know what it is?"

"The emperor left, and the empress supervised the country alone. I also heard about what happened in the early court today, and I felt a little surprised. Qiu Ming acted quite cautiously on weekdays, and today he was the first bird in the court, but it made me feel very uncomfortable. surprise."

Shen Ninghua's eyes flickered: "You mean, someone is supporting him behind his back?"

"I don't know, and I still need to investigate carefully." Baili Jinchuan was unwilling to say more.

"Thank you for reminding me."

"The words have been finished, leave."

When Baili Jinchuan left, Hong Ling was a little puzzled: "Mother, why does Prince De feel so strange?"

Shen Ninghua looked at his back, and couldn't help lowering her eyes slightly: "What's so strange?"

"Compared to before, he seems to be less popular, and now he always feels like he has been taken out." Hong Ling said, suddenly realized that her words were inappropriate, Baili Jinchuan and the others knew what he was thinking about the empress. , Now that the emperor has just left, wouldn't she be suspected of helping others by saying this, "This servant made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, ma'am."

Shen Ninghua shook her head and suppressed the emotions in her eyes: "You are also unintentional, forget it. However, Baili Jinchuan's words will not be groundless, and there are not many people who can support the speech officer. Go and investigate the third prince, the fourth prince, etc. Prince, let's see if they have made any progress recently."

"Yes."
