Chapter 51

Nothing is difficult without experience. At this time, Yu Suiyan has figured out how dangerous and embarrassing the situation he is currently in.After five years of vacancy on the throne, the royal power has fallen beyond imagination.In the past five years, Prime Minister Han Qing has continued to expand his power and control the political and economic power of the country. Although Yu Suiyan is the queen in name, he has actually been emptied by him. Although she has some power transferred to her by the three elders, she is not the same Han Qing's power is insignificant in comparison.What's more difficult is that Han Qing's disciples are all over the world, and his subordinates are full of talents, but Yu Suiyan has no one around except the three elders. How can he compete with Han Qing?Weighing the pros and cons, Yu Suiyan had to appease him everywhere, and sometimes even had to be patient and accommodate him in every possible way.

Yu Suiyan's forbearance made Han Qing even more arrogant. He looked down on the queen from the bottom of his heart, thinking that she was afraid of him so she didn't dare to favor the three elders and obeyed him, so she became more and more unscrupulous and aggressive everywhere.Yu Suiyan originally wanted to keep a low profile and take back power slowly, and then try to get rid of Han Qing after a few years when her wings are full, but what happened in the court hall one day quickly made her change her mind.

On this day, in the court hall, Wang Yao, the supervisory censor, handed in a memorial, suing Yao Changshun, the magistrate of Beiyang County, for corrupting the law and exploiting the common people.In front of all civil and military officials, he mentioned the top ten crimes committed by the Beiyang county magistrate, and finally he said: "The Beiyang county magistrate has been in office for six years, and he has seized several 10 taels of money. Wang Yao's performance is absolutely true, please Your Majesty..."

Before Wang Yao could finish his sentence, Wang Yong, the servant of the household department, stood up, interrupted Wang Yao, and said arrogantly: "Wang Supervisor, the Beiyang county magistrate has outstanding achievements this year. He has just been commended by the household department. He is a model for all officials. , What is your intention of framing a loyal minister like this?"

Beiyang county magistrate?That Yao Papi?Yu Suiyan wondered, she asked Elder Mu to dismiss him a month ago, why is he still the county magistrate?She looked at Elder Mu in puzzlement, and saw that Elder Mu was as puzzled as she was.

Wang Yao has an upright character, and upon hearing what Wang Yong said, he respectfully told Yu Suiyan, "Your Majesty, I have not made any false accusations, and everything I said is true!" He turned his head and said to Wang Yong, "My lord, I heard that The magistrate of Beiyang County seems to be a relative of the lord, is there such a thing? The lord is so protective of his relatives, the motive is suspicious!"

When Wang Yong heard that Wang Yao broke his mind, he became angry and couldn't refute for a while, so he asked for help from the prime minister Han Qing who was not far ahead.

Han Qing stood up, glanced at Wang Yao, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Wang Yao, you are so brave, you dare to frame the imperial court official!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Yu Suiyan and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Yao has no eyes on the king, he framed the ministers, the crime is unforgivable, he should be beheaded for public display, and his property should be confiscated. Come and take Wang Yao down!" He took over his position and issued orders without waiting for the rain to speak.

Yu Suiyan frowned tightly. Although he was furious in his heart, his expression was as usual. He looked at Han Qing coldly, knowing in his heart that Yao Changshun had not been dismissed from his post, and Han Qing must have detained his will.Before she could open her mouth, Elder Jin on the side said loudly: "Wait a minute! Lord Han, whether the imperial censor Wang Yao made a false accusation remains to be verified! Why does Lord Han insist that Wang Yao is guilty?"

Han Qing's eyes flashed, his face became gloomy and gloomy, he hated the three elders deeply in his heart, and said through gritted teeth: "Elder Jin, I am the prime minister, in charge of state affairs, and I should take care of this matter. The three elders came out to manage the government, and now that the queen has ascended the throne, you should also perform your duties, shouldn't you?"

Elder Shui stood up angrily and said, "Han Qing, do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes? Your Majesty didn't say anything, yet you dare to make decisions without your will. You can't rebel if you want to!"

Han Qing snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "After the death of the former king, I have been in charge of the government. If I wanted to rebel, I would wait until today? Your Majesty has just taken charge of the government and is not familiar with government affairs. Han Qing must do his best. "After that, Yu Suiyan turned his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am loyal, and the world can learn from it! If Your Majesty is worried about the old minister, then the old minister is willing to resign and return to his hometown, please allow it."

After listening to Yu Suiyan, he sneered secretly in his heart, resigned and returned home?If she really allows it, I'm afraid he will be forced to rebel immediately.No, she is not his opponent right now, a little intolerance will lead to a big conspiracy, she must bear it.Thinking of this, she closed her eyes, clenched her fists tightly, her nails were embedded in her flesh, her body trembled slightly, suppressing the humiliation and anger in her heart.When she opened her eyes, her eyes were clear, she smiled at the ministers, and said slowly: "The prime minister is serious! The prime minister is the pillar of the country, how can he leave the world to seek freedom and happiness? The matter of resignation Don't mention it again!" She paused, looked around the group of officials, and finally rested her eyes on Qi Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, smiled meaningfully, and asked tentatively: "Shangshu Qi, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Qi Yan didn't expect the Queen to spot him, he was slightly startled, raised his head to look at Yu Suiyan, and found that she was looking at him with a smile, with deep meaning in her eyes, he was startled, quickly lowered his head, pondered for a while, and said respectfully : "The words of the prime minister and the elders are all reasonable. Since the two sides have disagreements, I think it is better to put Wang Yao in the prison first, and then make a decision!"

Yu Suiyan nodded thoughtfully, and turned his gaze to Yushi Wang Yao.

Wang Yao knew that he was doomed today, so he didn't have any worries anymore. He decided to go all out, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty! I have selfish intentions. In order to save the lives of my family, I have never said anything. I am ashamed of Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Beiyang Mine is state-owned." , but was occupied by the prime minister Han Qing for many years, millions of taels of silver are pocketed by him every year, he cultivates his own power, eliminates dissidents, takes bribes and perverts the law, sells officials and nobles... ah..." Before he finished speaking, Han Qing was furious Kick and fly.He was a civil servant, how could he bear such a severe injury, he spat out blood with a "wow", and passed out!
Seeing that Han Qing was so arrogant that he beat someone brazenly in front of her, Yu Suiyan trembled all over, almost didn't jump up, but in the end he tried his best to bear it with all his self-control.The court hall was completely silent at this time, Han Qing and his party members looked at Yu Suiyan gloatingly, with complacent faces; the three elders knew the current situation in their hearts, and when they looked up and saw Yu Suiyan's pale face, they forcibly held back, They all let out a long sigh, and remained silent while being angry; the other ministers were frightened by this scene and dared not speak out.
