Empress difficult

Not long after Chao Qian'er came in, Xie You'an rushed over, saying that even Chu Yun would not believe that no one had notified her.As a result, Chu Yun came back in small steps, saying that no one had indeed tipped off the news.

"Impossible! If no one notified her, how would she know that Chao Qian'er is here? Shunfenger? Or Clairvoyance?"

Chu Yun hurriedly explained: "No, no, I heard from the guards below that Commander Xie stayed in Qixiang Palace at night. She must have come here after seeing Miss Chao with her own eyes."

This person... would be disrespectful and disrespectful, which was beyond Meng Yan's expectation.

Chu Yun told Mengyan all the news he had heard: "Didn't His Majesty not allow Commander Xie to be on duty at night before? She would go back and change into her casual clothes after the shift, and then return to Qixiang Palace. In this way, she would not violate the imperial decree. You can also continue the night patrol of Qixiang Palace."

...Turned around a lot, but the result is not the same!

Meng Yan was suddenly a little speechless to Xie Youan's brain circuit, and didn't know how to evaluate it.Chu Yun looked quite respectful, blinked and sighed: "Commander Xie really took the trouble. When the first emperor called her back to the capital, the harem privately said that the little girl from the border would not be able to make a fortune. Everyone despised her. But the late emperor relied heavily on her. Looking at it now, the late emperor is wise."

To be able to hand over the country to this princess, the level of the former emperor's ability to choose talents is really not very good...

Meng Yan thought for a while, then asked questions in his head, and asked casually: "Why did the first emperor suddenly call her back? If you want to say that the inner court is on guard, shouldn't it be a reliable cronies? Why did you call a girl from the outside casually?" ?”

"Who knows, Master Xie probably begged for mercy, and the late Emperor thanked Commander Xie for suffering outside when he was young, so he let her come back."

Chu Yun usually listened to the chatter of court ladies, how could she understand the situation in the court.Meng Yan didn't expect to hear any useful analysis from her, so she thought for a while and said, "I remember that there is a rule in the inner court, that no one is allowed to walk around without authorization except those on duty."

Chu Yun thought for a while, then nodded: "That's what I said."

"Well, pass on the order, Xie You'an violates the prohibition, and will be punished according to the law."

Chu Yun didn't expect that Xie You'an's loyal heart would touch the Lord's head, and felt that the punishment was too unkind.She stared in astonishment, and her voice was a little higher: "Your Majesty, thank you for commanding her—"

"All those who know and fail to report will be punished together."

Chu Yun's words were choked back, knowing that there was no room for turning around this matter, his interest also dropped, and he was completely depressed.

The candle lamps were extinguished, leaving only the moonlight, which was clear and shallow.

It must be that I have been too easy-going and generous, which makes them feel that everything is not important.

Meng Yan closed his eyes, and finally felt a little better, even sleeping a little easier than usual.

By the morning of the next day, the news about Xie You'an being punished for his late-night performance had already spread, everyone looked different, but they couldn't find anyone who was really worried about her.Seeing this, Meng Yan gained a little more understanding of the father and daughter's situation.

Xie You'an pursed his lips, forced his emotions to accept the attention, just lowered his head silently, not saying a word, very quiet.Xie Meng came in with a dark face, exhaled through his nostrils, and let out a "hum".Meng Yan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the old guy had something to say again.

Sure enough, Xie Meng stood up first, and said angrily: "Now Qixiang Palace still lives with the old people from the former emperor's time. Has Your Majesty ever thought about how to arrange them?"

The old man said so ambiguously.

Everyone knows what role Chao Qian'er is.

There is no need to argue with him on this matter, Meng Yan asked obediently: "Does Master Xie have any good suggestions?"

He probably thought that Meng Yan would choke, but he didn't expect her to be so cooperative. Xie Meng was a little surprised, but also very satisfied: "For example, Chao Qian'er, she was originally a prostitute, she was fortunate to be appreciated by the late emperor, and she entered the palace to serve the late emperor for several years. Now that the late emperor passed away, it stands to reason that everyone in Qixiang Palace should be buried together, but the late emperor left a legacy—"

"Well, the first emperor said that he should treat her well, so let's take care of her well, and don't violate the last emperor's order."

Meng Yan was taken aback when he heard half of it, and hastily interrupted Xie Meng's words, lest he say something like "this trip is against the rules, you must be killed".The dead rest in peace, and those who survive should live well. It is too cruel to drag the living to be buried with them.Not to mention that Chao Qian'er didn't do any bad things other than crawling on the bed and causing an oolong, but she deserves to be treated well just because of her love for the former emperor who gave up her life to help her.

Seeing that the expressions of the people below, mainly the veterans, began to change, Meng Yan realized belatedly that what he said was easy to be misunderstood.This princess is obscene | extravagant, and also prefers women. Now it is obvious how she will react when she meets a stunner.

But I, Yin Mengyan, don't like the charming type!

Meng Yan changed the topic at the right time, and threw the question to Xie Meng: "As for how to arrange it properly, Mr. Xie, you can make up your mind after watching."

Xie Meng heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "The Liuhua Courtyard has been vacant since it was completed. It's just right."

Meng Yan nodded in agreement: "Let's move today, and report to Dian Zhongsheng if there is anything missing, and you can't be harsh—what else is there?"

Xie Meng submitted a detailed list, and Meng Yan opened it to read, the first line reads "Suet White Jade Chi Gui Ruyi Pillow".Xie Meng reported: "This is the property that was seized from the second prince's palace, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

After Mengyan browsed, there was a whole page of jade pillows alone, the authentic calligraphy of everyone in the future, the authentic porcelain fired in which dynasty, and so on.

Is this second prince a collector...

Xie Meng took advantage of Mengyan to look at the single purpose and said: "There are not many silver taels found from the second prince. I suspect that he has other dens, and we are currently investigating in detail."

Meng Yan closed his eyes and asked, "Except for the real money, are these things more or less?"

Xie Meng replied without hesitation: "Extremely many."

Meng Yan nodded: "Then maybe he really doesn't have much money, and he used it to buy these things—but I still need to check. There are no people living in Lingxi Palace now, so there is no need for major construction work, but other places, such as wandering outside the city. Refugees and the like, share some money for relief."

Xie Meng's expression was slightly stagnant, Meng Yan thought he was going to object, but saw that his voice was rarely lowered, and his words were not as tough as before: "The details of the relief of refugees need to be discussed."

Is this agree or disagree?While pondering, Meng Yan took away his single eye, and saw that there was another list below.

Seeing her open it, Xie Meng explained: "This was found in the second emperor's womb. It recorded the people who bought and sold officials. The time, official rank, and cost are clearly written."

So these people are stupid... Don't wait for others to investigate if they have to leave evidence for themselves after doing something that can't be seen?

Xie Meng said: "I request that all these people be dismissed and investigated!"

This is tantamount to cutting off the wings of the second prince completely, so that he will never stand out again.

But who will fill the vacant position?Now that the size of the court is suitable, it has to go through Xie Meng's hands. If he wants to place his own people, wouldn't it be easy?

The second prince is not a pity, but Xie Meng's power must not be allowed to continue to grow.

Meng Yan thought for a while: "There are so many people on this list, if it is cleared all at once, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court. The Ministry of Punishment, according to the rank of the officials, will first thoroughly investigate the people on the list. legal treatment."

Xie Meng wanted to speak, but Zhuang Yiqiu stepped out and responded, interrupting him.

Meng Yan said: "The rest of the staff, the Ministry of Officials, have made a performance appraisal system. Those who can meet the standards within the specified time limit will stay and continue the appraisal. Otherwise, they will be degraded according to their ability and should go back to their hometown."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials agreed, and then the hall was quiet, and no one spoke.

Meng Yan looked around in this weird atmosphere, and saw Xie You'an staring at Qiu Shui's calm eyes in the middle of the heads, obviously surprised and shocked.

Being glanced at, Xie Youan hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it.

Meng Yan murmured and said, "As for Commander Xie..."
