Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 24 The Premeditated Beginning

Dongfang Liang is an honest man, the biggest feature is that he abides by the etiquette. He has played the role of the ruler as a minister to the extreme. When it is implemented in action, everything the emperor says is right. This is the reason why the first emperor promoted him to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites.I saw his eyes glowing with admiration, holding his goatee, and nodding straight at Song Qingtong.

Leng Junxie had a doting smile on his face, as long as it was Song Qingtong's decision, no matter what it was, he would support it with both hands and feet, even if the knife was on his neck!It is said that his love for the queen has reached the point of brain damage.

Ji Yunhe showed admiration on his face, as if he had found a bosom friend. Although he likes to travel, he is influenced by his family, and he is a businessman at heart. Everything is based on reality. The queen is right, killing them is useless , The money can't be taken back, it turns out that their thoughts are so similar, they will not worry about not having a common language when they live together in the future, and the eyes watching Song Qingtong are as bright as torches.

Shui Jing has a cold temper, killing or not killing has nothing to do with him.It's just that talking about murder at the dinner table is too unpleasant!Eyes like autumn water cast on Song Qingtong, with a slight smile on her face, no matter how she was punished, as long as she felt comfortable.

Shangguan Lianyue looked around, the more she watched, the more frightened she became, the corners of her eyes twitched, wondering if the people at the table had any normal thinking, suddenly there was a sadness in her heart that there were few friends, and no one would listen to the broken strings.

Seeing Shangguan Lianyue's heartbroken look, Song Qingtong couldn't help smiling, and asked, "In addition to raiding the homes of corrupt officials, can the relatives of corrupt officials' children be searched?"

Shangguan Lianyue stared blankly, and said: "I have not, there is no clear evidence that their relatives were also involved."

Song Qingtong smiled slightly: "I think the reason why they are greedy for ink and silver is for their own enjoyment, and for their children's family. You will help me to draw up an imperial decree in a while. The relatives of these officials within five generations are not allowed to be officials within three generations. However, if they can make up the money they have been corrupted, they can be exempted. If there are no relatives to make up the money, you have to identify the part of the family who benefited from their protection and became rich, and confiscate their property. In addition, you have to go to the Check their origins to prevent them from transferring the stolen money."

After hearing this, Shangguan Lianyue couldn't help but nodded, thinking that the method Song Qingtong said was completely feasible, and seeing her bright eyes, with a calm and confident smile on her face, she was not at all like the female Hunjun in her memory, she was very surprised , On second thought, maybe it was just a coincidence.

Song Qingtong also said: "In addition, I hate blood and blood the most in my life, so don't kill the 87 people, they will all be sent to northern Xinjiang, and the length of sentence will be determined according to the severity of the circumstances."

"This..." Shangguan Lianyue was sweating wildly. This was worse than killing them. The barren land in northern Xinjiang was used to being pampered by those officials and lords. Can you bear it?

"The more people are in a difficult environment, the more they can reflect on themselves. Please don't be kind to a woman. Let's do it tomorrow."

The corners of Shangguan Lianyue's lips twitched. The patriarch of his dignified first family was said to be a benevolent woman, and it came from the mouth of the stupid king he hated the most. However, he couldn't refute it and forgot to accept the order for a while.

On the opposite side, Dongfang Liang said in a bright and excited voice: "The emperor is wise, it is the blessing of my subjects to see clearly!"

Except for Shangguan Lianyue, everyone agreed, Song Qingtong smiled slightly, regardless of whether Dongfang Liang was flattering out of sincerity or deliberately, she liked to hear this.

It was getting late outside, and the dinner was coming to an end, Shangguan Lianyue was still struggling with what Song Qingtong said, and said with a tense face: "Everyone's room, I have ordered someone to clean it, and the attendants will guide you, Your Majesty , please come with me."

Song Qingtong was about to get up, but unexpectedly, a sentence floated out of Shui Jing's mouth, which almost shocked the audience.

"Your Majesty, who will sleep in bed tonight?"

Song Qingtong almost slipped under the table when she heard the words, the account of the chest attack last time has not yet been settled!In the ear, Shangguan Lianyue snorted coldly, which reminded Song Qingtong of being naked on the bed on the first day of wearing, and her face blushed.There were no waves on the surface of the water mirror, but the waves in his eyes were as gentle as a pool of spring water. Seeing Leng Junxie staring at him with extremely expectant eyes, Song Qingtong's heart rang an alarm.

Squeeze out a few words: "I'm tired, I won't invite anyone to sleep with me tonight." After speaking, she hurried out of the flower hall as if she was running away before Shangguan Lianyue.

It was a moonless night. There were luxuriant trees on the earth hill in the west of the city, and the Tianwang Temple was built on the top of the mountain. Martial law had been enforced around the Tianwang Temple in preparation for tomorrow's ceremony.In the woods, an unknown bird uttered strange calls, and the night wind blew, and the branches and leaves swayed like night ghosts.

No one would have thought that there was an underground palace just under this earth mountain.

The large hall was slightly damp, with torches burning on the wall, nearly a hundred men in black stood in the center, and a man in white was lazily leaning on the bluestone seat.

"Palace Master, since we want to cause a commotion, why don't we burn the supplies they brought in at the same time? Isn't that better?" the blue-robed man asked.

"Guardian Zuo, are you questioning the decision of the Palace Master?"

"No, no, my subordinates dare not."

"Everything is going according to plan." The man in white said in a low voice.

The backyard of the government office is a courtyard with three entrances. Song Qingtong slept in the main room of the third entrance yard. When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. After dressing and washing, the food had been served. A bowl of soup with red dates and lotus seeds, and chopsticks serving as dishes for Song Qingtong, Chengying opened the door and came in to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ji Liang, Lord of Guangling, went outside the city early this morning to check the relief supplies. After the sacrificial offerings are completed and manpower is freed up, troops will be sent to escort the victims to nearby counties affected by the disaster."

Song Qingtong nodded, Ji Yunhe raised 50 cotton-padded clothes and [-] quilts this time, together with the supplies allocated by the imperial court last time, they can basically solve the urgent needs of the disaster area.

Cheng Ying then reported: "Mr. Ronggui led a team to inspect the vicinity of Tianwang Temple to check the terrain."

"Yeah." Leng Junxie looked rude but was as careful as dust.

Cheng Ying hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Please take a bath and incense, Your Majesty."

Song Qingtong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that although this sacrifice was a temporary decision, sacrifices to gods have always been extremely sacred in the eyes of the ancients, and the most taboo is the smell of filth. She had bathed in incense last night, But after all, I have menstruation, so I need to be cautious.
