Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss

Chapter 15 The Real Gold Heroine Who Was Counterattacked 15

To the servants, these words were just a little interest between husband and wife, at most a newlywed wife showing off her temper, which was harmless.

But Mu Beichen knew that Su Xing's words were a real threat, telling him not to support Zhao Yanzhen, otherwise she would take care of herself.

Mu Beichen stood there for a long time with a grim expression on his face, thinking about the cruel methods that Su Xing had used to deal with him. In the end, he did not dare to ignore Su Xing's threat and go find Zhao Yanzhen.

However, Mu Beichen did not continue to stay in the palace. He used to be very relaxed and comfortable in the palace, but now the palace has become Su Xing's territory. Mu Beichen felt aggrieved and depressed staying in the palace.

Turning out of the palace, Mu Beichen headed straight out of the city. He had a manor outside the city, which was decorated very luxuriously. Mu Beichen decided to go to the manor to relax.

As long as he doesn't go to support Zhao Yanzhen, Su Xing doesn't care where Mu Beichen goes, even if it means going to a brothel to hire a courtesan. At this moment, Su Xing is washing and changing clothes with the help of a maid.

Then they took a bath. Mu Beichen enjoyed himself so much that he built a large pool in the palace for bathing. Su Xing also took a fancy to this bathing pool.

The pool is very large, and boiling water every time you take a bath is a big project. All the stoves in the big kitchen have to be turned on together to boil water to supply enough water. However, the servants can take care of these things, so Su Xing just enjoys himself.

After taking a bath, she asked the maid beside her to massage her whole body to relax her. The maids had mastered these skills long ago. The personal maids were all outstanding in serving people.

Early the next morning, Su Xing took the evidence obtained from Zhao Nanchao and went directly to the palace to see the Queen Mother.

Although the empress dowager was in power, she was a woman after all, and many people were dissatisfied. The officials in the capital were fine, because whether they were satisfied or not, they were under the empress dowager's nose and had to listen to her.

The empress dowager was unable to reach the officials who were far away from the capital, and many of them would pretend to obey the empress dowager's orders but actually disobey them. Although the empress dowager had dealt with many of them, more people were still hiding in the dark.

Don't underestimate the disobedience of these officials. Although they may seem to be just a group of small officials, the impact they bring is huge.

If the imperial court was a person, the highest authority holder would be the brain, the important ministers would be the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and these minor officials would be the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, hands and feet. Although they may seem less important than the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, the lack of any one of them would have a huge impact.

If minor officials cannot be controlled as they please, it is easy for government orders to not be carried out, resulting in the people not being able to enjoy the benefits of government orders and not being able to be loyal. The people will become restless and the position of those in power will be unstable.

Su Xing and the Queen Mother discussed this issue last time. Su Xing also learned that the Queen Mother had already thought about solving this problem and had been training middle and low-level officials, and had no shortage of trusted people.

The only problem is that in order to avoid the problem of redundant officials, the court cannot add official positions at will. The empress dowager can only replace officials with her own people after they make mistakes.

The box of evidence from Su Xing arrived at the right time. It was also thanks to Mu Beixiao's greed that he wanted to gather more people and sent almost half of the forces he had cultivated to Zhao Nanchao, which enabled him to find out the evidence.

However, Mu Beixiao also suffered heavy losses. The forces he sent to Zhao Nanchao were almost completely wiped out. Otherwise, Zhao Nanchao would not have been protected by only one master when he returned.

Don't underestimate officials like county magistrates and prefects. They are local tyrants who dominate the local area. Many times, their prestige among the people is not as high as that of the emperor.

After all, the emperor was out of reach, and these officials were oppressing and exploiting people right above their heads. Naturally, the people were more afraid of these officials in front of them than the emperor who was far away in the sky.

It is not easy to find evidence of these people's crimes. If you investigate them openly, they will inform each other and nothing can be found out. If you investigate them secretly, they will be assassinated and plotted against one after another. Zhao Nanchao had a narrow escape several times while investigating the evidence of these people's crimes.

Now all these have benefited Su Xing, and have become her capital to demonstrate her ability in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was very happy when she saw Su Xing. At first, she thought Su Xing came to discuss state affairs with her and make some suggestions. She didn't expect that Su Xing would give her such a big gift.

The Queen Mother was very surprised when she saw the evidence in the box, but she did not ask Su Xing how he got the evidence. For those in power, it is important to use people and abilities, and the process is not important. The most important thing is to be able to do it.

The Queen Mother carefully kept the evidence and prepared to remove all the corrupt officials as quickly as possible and send her own trusted officials to take over.

The Queen Mother looked at Su Xing, who had a calm face, with satisfaction, nodded and said, "You have made great contributions this time, is there any reward you want?"

Su Xing bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "What I want cannot be done now, so let's leave it for later. In fact, in addition to sending these evidences today, I also want to ask the Queen Mother to hold an imperial examination for women and select talented women from all over the world to serve as court ladies."

The Queen Mother put away her smile, her expression turned serious, and she looked at Su Xing with a cold voice: "Do you know that even if I agree to the female official's matter, the officials in the court will not agree?"

Su Xing maintained the posture of saluting and bowed her head slightly: "Your servant knows."

The Queen Mother's tone turned cold: "Why do you still make this suggestion?"

Su Xing did not answer, but put down his saluting hand and looked up at the Queen Mother.

"Empress Dowager, before I answer, I want to ask you, do you want to go further, or stop here and just be a regent who will return power to the emperor sooner or later?"

The empress dowager's heart skipped a beat. If she had no memories of her past life, she would have said without hesitation that although she would serve as regent for a while, she would eventually return power to the emperor.

But now, the queen mother hesitated. If she didn't know the memories of her previous life, although she was reluctant to give up power, she would return it to Mu Beixiao sooner or later.

But after knowing the ending of her previous life, the Queen Mother really couldn't return power to Mu Beixiao.

But going a step further, the empress dowager's heart would beat violently with excitement and anticipation whenever she thought of this. As a woman, the empress dowager already had the highest status for women in the world. If the empress dowager could go one step further, she could only be the empress.

But being an empress is not so easy. Regent queens have existed since ancient times. She faced many obstacles when she took this position. She didn't dare to imagine how great the obstacles would be to becoming an empress.

The Queen Mother suppressed her turbulent emotions and sighed, "It is easier said than done. You know, if I want to take another step, not to mention those ministers who are against me, even the ministers who support me as regent may oppose me."

Su Xing smiled: "That's why the Queen Mother needs a group of officials who will never betray her, and if women want to be officials, those male officials will definitely reject them.

If the female officials want to gain a firm foothold, they can only rely on the Queen Mother who can support them. Naturally, they can only stand on your side, so there is no need to worry about their betrayal. "
