Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 78
Song Qingtong raised the corners of her lips gloatingly, this Yuan Yong, even if she stood there motionless, she was uncomfortable looking at it, the bad breath in her chest hadn't come out yet, how dare he still dare to be on Tai Sui's head in the investigation of violations last time? Break ground!So she wants to fix him, and it has risen to a political level. Three days ago, in the morning court, she ordered him to build a civilian school. You little beggars, the weather is getting colder and colder, and they are likely to freeze to death on the streets in this way, so I want to set up an official school for orphans, you go and organize it." It's good to be a leader, what do you think of, move Talk about it, and directly instruct the people under him to do it. If it is done well, it is your own credit. If it is not done well, the people below will get the board.

"Let him in." Song Qingtong said.

The eunuch retreated, Yuan Yong came in, with a memorial in his hand, walked to the Longshu case, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the rules and regulations formulated by the minister for the official school."

Song Qingtong took it in his hand, glanced at it, and threw it on the case. She asked him to build a school, and he made such a thing, which was less than a hundred words. He suppressed his displeasure and said: "The system It is necessary, but the establishment of an official school cannot rely on the system alone, and I want to see the completion of the official school before the end of the year."

Yuan Yong lowered his head, rolled his eyes secretly, and still respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I also hope that the official school will be completed soon, but I dare not go beyond the rules. The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the site selection and construction of the official school, and the school budget is invested in it." It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the selection of teachers from the Imperial Academy should be handled by the Ministry of Officials. The minister is just a small servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he speaks lightly. I am afraid that the adults will not accept it."

The fire in Song Qingtong's heart was ignited. This kid deliberately sang against her. It's very good. Let's see how she punishes him then, and glanced at Yuan Yong: "Yuan Yong, if you can't even do this little thing, I want you What's the use of you? I don't want to listen to prevarication, if the official school is not completed before the end of the year, I will definitely dismiss you and investigate!" His voice has cooled down.

Cold sweat broke out on Yuan Yong's back. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was eager to gain her trust. Of course, there were some ulterior motives in it, but once he stood in front of her, he couldn't control himself. mouth, he just likes to see her angry, if this continues, he will really be killed by himself.

At this time, the eunuch came in again and passed on a message, "Master Chen from the Ministry of Officials, please see me."

Song Qingtong's heart skipped a beat, what did he find out?He said, "Please come in."

Glancing at Yuan Yong, feeling that Song Qingtong's eyes were not friendly, Yuan Yong quickly stated: "I am stupid, I know what to do now, I will do it now." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Song Qingtong, respectfully Exit the imperial study room respectfully.

Chen Mian walked into the imperial study in official uniform, and glanced sharply at Yuan Yong who was retreating. He naturally knew that this Yuan Yong, at a young age, had risen from a businessman to a third-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites. Shang Shu Cheng Pu strongly recommends it.

Chen Mian saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Li contracted typhoid fever in prison, and he said that he wanted to see the Emperor for the last time before he died, and he had something to report."

Song Qingtong's eyes turned slightly, Zhu Li was probably wronged, but she couldn't let him out, the main purpose was to paralyze Li Gong, so she had to wrong him.

The prison of the Ministry of punishment.

The jailer held the key and unlocked the iron lock with a click, and pushed open the cell door. Song Qingtong bent over and walked in. Chen Mian and several guards followed behind. The air in the cell was damp and full of musty smell. Song Qingtong walked in. In front of a pile of thatch, Zhu Li lay on his back with disheveled hair, his body was too thin to be human, but luckily the clothes on his body were not too thin, it was because Chen Miannian took care of him for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty.

"Zhu Li, the emperor has come to see you." Chen Mian shouted.

Zhu Li suddenly opened his eyes, struggled to get up, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "Your Majesty..." His voice was choked with sobs.

Song Qingtong looked at Zhu Li. In the past, the court was full of glory. Who would have thought that one day he would become a prisoner for no reason. After this incident, she would give him justice.

Chen Mian said aside: "If you have anything to say, just say it, the emperor will make the decision for you."

Zhu Li glanced at Chen Mian, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, I want to talk to you alone."

Song Qingtong nodded, Chen Mian and others exited the cell for a while, Zhu Li then said: "Everything is retribution, it is the guilty minister who did something wrong in a moment of confusion..."

Song Qingtong frowned and listened to Zhu Li's story. It turned out that a year ago, the mansion bought a maid named Lianqiao. Once when Zhu Li was drunk, she asked Forsythia out of nowhere, and she got pregnant, so she had to accept Forsythia as a concubine. Mrs. Zhu quit, and secretly wanted to sell Forsythia. Not even the dead body was fished out.

Zhu Li finally said, "At that time, Zhu Yuan saw that Lianqiao's eyes were unusual, maybe it was because of this incident that he framed the guilty minister. The face of a minister who is about to die is no longer important. I implore the emperor to find out the truth and return the minister's innocence."

Song Qingtong pondered for a long time, Lianqiao committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, but the body was not found, so it cannot be concluded that Lianqiao is dead, and what is the connection between Lianqiao's throwing into the river and the Zhu Li case?
"Master Zhu, this case is not yet closed. If you were wronged, I will definitely clear you up. I hope that on the day the imperial decree is read out, you can hear it with your own ears, instead of..."

Zhu Li's body shook violently, and he raised his head to look at Song Qingtong. Seeing that Song Qingtong's eyes were full of deep meaning, and tears appeared in his eyes, Song Qingtong took one last look at Zhu Li, and said in a low voice, "I will send The imperial physician will treat you."

Walking out of the dungeon, Chen Mian was still waiting outside. Song Qingtong relayed the facts that Zhu Li just provided to Chen Mian, ordering him to secretly investigate Forsythias.Of course, let Chen Mian keep it a secret. It can be seen that Zhu Li is a face-saving person.

Five days later.

Song Qingtong was sitting on the throne, looking at the courtiers who were reporting affairs in the center of the palace with faint eyes. Good news came from Jiaozhou. Chu Tianmo had already chosen the sea route and believed in the neighboring countries, expressing their willingness to do business. The country's economy is backward and naturally willing to do business with Bei Qin, so everything is progressing smoothly. At present, Chu Tianmo is starting to select sea affairs officials and conduct pre-job training at the same time.At the same time, Dong Fei led his troops to attack the Japanese pirates head-on, and the Japanese pirates hibernated in the sea a hundred miles away.
