I really don't want to rebel

Chapter 275 The Queen's Problem

Capital, Chaotang.

The majestic imperial palace, the buildings stretching across the city, the majestic main hall, hundreds of officials stood respectfully below, and a woman in a dragon robe was sitting on the dragon chair overflowing with golden light in the court.

The woman is extremely beautiful, with a lazy posture, leaning on the large dragon chair, playing with her cuffs absently.

There is no doubt that this is Her Majesty the Empress of the Yunxiao Empire today.

A minister came out and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The queen raised her lower eyelids, frowned indistinctly, and said in a slightly majestic voice, "Aiqing, please tell me."

The queen's words were very polite, but she didn't mean to look down upon others!Anyone can see that the empress is not very interested in this minister, and she doesn't want to hear it.

The minister held his breath and said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors among the people that Jiang Yunfan from Huayang County in Nanjun is an immortal. I think this is very inappropriate! The only person in the world who can be chosen by heaven is the Queen." Your Majesty! Jiang Yunfan is a mediocre man with little fame, and he still works as a merchant. The common people spread rumors, so what is the majesty of the court? What is the dignity of my majestic Queen of the Yunxiao Empire?"

"My face?" Her Majesty the Queen smiled lightly and said, "I remember that Ai Qing discussed with Master Zuo about leaving Jingdong yesterday, during which time she even said that I am a centipede! Didn't she say that I am as poisonous as a snake and a scorpion? The general situation is gone, is death not stiff? When did Aiqing care about my face?"

"Ah!" The minister was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and cried: "Your Majesty the Queen has been wronged! There is absolutely no such thing! It must be the untouchables below who are gossiping and slandering me! If Your Majesty the Queen doesn't believe it, you can find me Mr. Zuo, come here and you will know after asking! Or find the person who falsely accused me, and I will confront him on the spot!"

"Hahahaha~ Aiqing is so funny!" The queen smiled prettily, and said coldly: "Master Zuo has escaped from the capital, Aiqing doesn't know about it, does she? And you also said that it was the untouchables below who slandered you !Then I will ask Ai Qing, what is an obedient citizen and what is an untouchable citizen?"

"This! This..." The minister became a little dumb, and realized that he had slipped his tongue. You can think about this in your heart, but you can't say it out!If you say it, you will become a pariah, bah bah bah!Are you a treacherous minister who doesn't care about the life and death of the people?Not to mention leaving a name in history, it would be nice if the ancestral graves were not dug up!

The minister had an idea, and said seriously: "Your Majesty heard it wrong. What I said is that the people framed me! It is definitely not a pariah!"

"Little people?" The queen grabbed a point and beat him to death. She laughed and said, "Then dare to ask Aiqing, what is a small person? Could it be that in Aiqing's eyes, people are divided into big and small, high and low? Have you become an official?" Aiqing, come and tell me, what kind of official can be called a big? How much money do you honor in a year to be an obedient citizen?"

The minister broke out in cold sweat, and stammered, "Your... what you're talking about is rioters! It must be the secret work of the rebels. They framed me in order to weaken the strength of my court! Let us, the monarch and his ministers, separate!"

"Hey! Is it a disorderly people or a secret operation?" The queen pretended to be suspicious, and said in a dignified way: "As far as I know, Aiqing has been promoted all the way in the past 15 years, but she has not seen any achievements! I counted, When Aiqing was the county magistrate, she helped Widow Li carry water and was selected as a model county magistrate. This incident was rumored locally that Aiqing slept with Widow Li, but how could she turn into loving the people like a son when she came to court? Already? Aiqing was directly promoted to the magistrate!"

The queen said again: "After she became the magistrate, Aiqing seized a wealthy family and got 30 taels of silver in total! Aiqing was selfless, and handed over 5 taels to the court, and kept 5 taels for herself. The remaining 20 taels seemed to be Was it sent to Mr. Huang's residence?"

"Master Huang, is what I said right?" The queen smiled disdainfully.

Master Huang didn't panic at all, stood up slowly, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing! But it was already ten years ago, when I was serving as the governor of Nanjun County, a county was hit by a drought. The silver went to disaster relief, and there is a record of every one or two cents of silver in this matter! The people in the county later built a temple for the minister in order to thank the minister!"

Master Huang stroked his beard, smiled slightly, took out something from his sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the account book from that year. I brought it here. Please have a look at it. As for the 20 taels of silver, I have already returned it to you." The treasury is gone!"

The girl smiled coldly: "So that's the case! Mr. Huang is a good official!"

"Her Majesty the Empress congratulates me." Master Huang blushed without heartbeat, the old god was there.

The queen's complexion changed, and she said in a cold voice: "Master Huang is really impeccable in his work! I have only heard of a drought in a certain area since I was a child, or a drought in a dozen towns! I have never heard of a drought in a town. Drought! Master Huang is really good at calculating, building a temple only cost a few hundred taels of silver, not to mention getting a clean name, and saving 20 taels of silver!"

"Her Majesty the Empress has clearly checked, and there is absolutely no such thing!" Lord Huang didn't panic at all.

At this time, the two officials standing in the front spoke.

A person wearing a bullfighting official robe said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I also know about this matter. Master Huang has already handed over the silver to the treasury. Many of the supplies sent to King Dingjiang in the western frontier a few days ago were from Huang." I bought it with 20 taels of silver from your lord!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to vouch for Mr. Huang. This matter is absolutely impossible!" Another minister said.

"Hey! King Dingjiang is still being raised by our court? Why don't you say Marquis Xiban? Marquis Xiban has already piled up a pile of documents asking for help today! King Dingjiang? Hehe, he is much richer than me!" Her Majesty the Empress sighed, waved her hand and said: "Then let's take this thief into custody first. Lord Huang will fine you one year's salary. Do you have any objections?"

All the ministers shouted loudly: "The empress is holy!"

The minister was trembling with fear. He knew that he had now become an abandoned son!No one will protect him!Crying and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I made an unintentional mistake! I..."

Before the minister finished speaking, he was dragged out by two guards.

The queen's face darkened slightly, and she said: "Jiang Yunfan, the county magistrate of Huayang County, loves the people like a son. He has made great achievements at a young age, and he is heard by the heavens. I want to make him a Qingwu guard. What do you think?"

"Empress Shengming!"

"Let's deliver the decree."

The queen dragged her exhausted body back, she had known this would be the result for a long time!

The queen is on top?Hehe, it's nothing more than a facade pushed up by a group of ministers with their own ulterior motives!He has no real power in his hands, and those bullshit ministers who really have the final say!
The empress has been looking for opportunities to overthrow them all these years, and she thinks this rebellion by Zhenshan King is an excellent opportunity!
How difficult is it?Officials protect each other!No matter how smart the queen is, she is still alone!

The empress knew in her heart that in order to solve this problem, she needed to develop her own cronies. Regarding this point, she thought that Jiang Yunfan from Huayang County was very good!
The queen nodded, Jiang Yunfan is clean, upright, has soldiers in his hands, and the most important thing is that he has a little grudge against Master Huang!Impossible to stand with them!
In Kaishan County.

Jiang Yunfan is drinking some wine and eating crayfish!He didn't realize that he had entered the eyes of the queen and the officials.
