These years of being the queen mother!

"The reason why the emperor left the palace was the order of Ai's family. Remembering that Xu Qing was seriously ill, Ai's family asked the emperor to take Changping and Zhaoren out of the palace to visit Xu Qing. Teacher. As a disciple, it is right to visit a sick teacher. It’s just that Aijia never expected..."

Empress Dowager Yang gradually changed her tone, from gentle to stern.Empress Dowager Yang continued: "The Ai family really never expected that the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, who are trusted by the Ai family, would handle the case like this behind the back of the Ai family. Xue Qing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the old cabinet minister, and this is how the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is managed. The officials under your command recognized Yinzi as their ancestors, and everyone in the world as fools!"

Empress Dowager Yang took the teacup Zhu Cilin handed to her and threw it on the ground and smashed it to pieces. Xue Zhen came out in a cold sweat, prostrated herself on the ground, and wept bitterly, expressing that she was also deceived and didn't know what he was doing. The officials of the Ministry of Punishment are so stupid!

"Hehe, you don't know. As the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, you are in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment, and you actually say you don't know." Empress Dowager Yang said with a cold face, hehe. "Vegetarian meal in the position of a corpse, vegetarian meal in the position of a corpse, Ai Jia thinks that Xue Qing, you really perfectly explained the meaning of this idiom!"

Xue Zhen was rendered speechless by the scolding, and could only keep muttering "the old minister is guilty", in exchange for the pity of the little emperor Zhu Ciling. He didn't count on the cruel Queen Mother Yang, but hoped that the little emperor would intercede, don't let him With the reputation of "vegetarian meal in the corpse" to eat plain rice, go back to your hometown...

To tell the truth, Xue Zhen's idea is well thought out, but the problem is that the little emperor Zhu Cilin is the biological son of Empress Dowager Yang, and Queen Mother Yang is a cruel and ruthless master. As her biological son, how will Zhu Cilin be better.

Zhu Cilin didn't like Xue Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment who took up the position and did nothing. While Xue Zhen was crying and begging for mercy, Zhu Ciling, who had no conscience, even counted his fingers and ransacked the homes of Xue Zhen and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. how much silver...

The more Zhu Cilin counted, the hotter his heart became, and he couldn't help showing two small canine teeth, like a little fox, in line with Empress Dowager Yang's way. "The empress mother is right, a vegetarian meal in the corpse's place is not a good thing, so, Xue Qing, I am afraid that you have achieved the top position as a minister."

In order to maintain his good image (?) among the courtiers, Zhu Cixi automatically swallowed the words of "confiscating the family and confiscating the property", and turned to look at Queen Mother Yang eagerly.

Seeing the puppy-like eyes, Empress Dowager Yang, who understood the meaning very well, twitched her eyebrows, and an emotion called dumbfounding permeated instantly.

This little bastard is here to collect debts...

Empress Dowager Yang twitched her mouth, but in the end she did what the little emperor Zhu Cilin wished, and opened her mouth.

"The emperor is right. Xue Qing, you have indeed achieved the top position as a minister. Someone has come, put a black gauze hat on Xue Zhen's head, and escorted you out of the hall to wait for your release."

After Empress Dowager Yang's order came out, her own guards appeared and took off Xue Zhen's official hat and escorted her out.The guards moved very quickly, but in just a sip of tea, Xue Zhen, who was still prostrate on the ground, disappeared, and there were only the other five officials from the dead friends and undead Pindao and the even more disturbed officials from the Ministry of Punishment.

In the quiet room, Empress Dowager Yang took another sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then continued speaking condescendingly through the bead curtain. "Aijia remembers what Aijia said before, you can be greedy, but the premise of being greedy is to know what to be greedy and what not to be greedy, to be greedy for everything but not to do a job that should be done, this is looking at the emperor of Aijia , Orphans and widows are easy to bully, and they are going to coax Aijia and the emperor like a fool.

Heh, it's like the matter of the emperor's personal trial, obviously fooling the people of the world as if they were fools. After Aijia knew about this matter, he kept thinking how much money the officials who heard the matter received before they could lose their wisdom and follow that piece of paper. They framed Li Juren together and made a deceitful thing. "

Empress Dowager Yang's words had vaguely revealed that she was going to kill.All the officials from the six departments, especially the Ministry of Punishment, shuddered, plopped, and knelt down on the smooth, unmarked floor.

"Your servants are guilty, please calm down the empress dowager!"

"You are indeed guilty!" Empress Dowager Yang casually scratched her nails while tidying up her flaws. "The Ai family doesn't understand. Daming, the place where you were born and raised you, has never let you down. Where is your conscience? Could it be that they were all eaten by dogs!"

No one answered, and no one dared to answer. Zhu Cilin stared at his biological mother, Empress Dowager Yang, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who was present with a vicious tongue.

"Is the mother intending to scold all the civil and military officials until she has had enough of her addiction before starting to deal with the offending officials?"Tsk, you can go to the theater again, oh, no, it's study! '

Zhu Cilin tilted his head and thought about it, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, so he interrupted hastily. "Didn't you say that dogs eat shi? How could they eat conscience? The empress mother, the servants don't understand!"

"puff!"

Xiong Tingbi, who has always been adhering to the principle of watching dramas, returned to Beijing to succeed without asking questions, and became a minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but spit.Emperor Taichang scolded that the officials of the Ministry of Punishments are all SHI?This mouth is really green out of blue and better than blue. It's so poisonous, and it's so relieved.

Thinking of the crimes he suffered when he was wronged and didn't get the special care of Empress Dowager Yang, who was still the imperial concubine at the time, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help jumping out, burning with tar. "Officials of the Ministry of Punishment all have vegetarian meals in their corpses. Veteran ministers suggest severe punishment to abolish official style."

"Severe punishment is necessary." At this time, Empress Dowager Yang didn't bother to swear anymore, and under Zhu Cilin's expectant eyes, Empress Dowager Yang ordered all the officials involved in the case to be deprived of meritorious service, and their homes were ransacked and exiled!

Empress Dowager Yang didn't kill much this time, she just killed the first offender.But to be honest, for the scholar-bureaucrats who are used to being superior and well-clothed and well-fed, confiscating their wealth, exiling the whole family regardless of age, and contributing to the development of southern Fujian is more uncomfortable than killing them, so after rectification After that, the Ministry of Punishment didn't say anything else, it can be said that the matter of collecting bribes and helping criminals to buy their lives at will can be said to be completely eliminated.

Of course, it still happens from time to time that the guards collect money, provide convenience to the family members of the prisoners, and arrange better meals. As she said, people can be greedy, but they must understand what should be greedy and what should not be greedy. She doesn't mind the officials under her taking money to supplement their families, but she doesn't mind if the officials take money and don't do anything, or do things that are unconscionable.So after receiving the report from the factory guard, Empress Dowager Yang acted as if she couldn't see it, pretending that this matter didn't exist!

As mentioned earlier, both Empress Dowager Yang and Zhu Cilin, who is becoming more and more like a king of a country, are determined to rectify the administration of officials, so in one of the six ministries, various laws are reviewed, and criminal cases sent to ministries in various places are reviewed. When more than half of the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who directly tried the death penalty cases in the Gyeonggi area and the criminal cases above were vacant, the Empress Dowager Yang refuted the proposal of the chief assistant Shi Fenglai to select a suitable person from the previous scholars. When he reacted, he attacked the official department, the head of the six departments that controlled the appointment and dismissal, examinations, promotions, honors, and transfers of civil servants in the world...

As a result, once the storm arose, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were dismissed, their homes were confiscated, and their exiles were exiled. In a short period of time, it can be described as a river of blood.However, after this thunderous means, the Ministry of Officials followed the Ministry of Punishment, and the ethos was cleared up, not to mention how clear it was, but at least the officials of the Ministry of Officials were measured by the amount of silver taels to measure the level of their official positions.

Empress Dowager Yang was obviously very satisfied with this result, so she made persistent efforts and rectified the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry...

Of course, according to the degree of ruthlessness of Queen Mother Yang, the bloodbath is inevitable. After the new round of dismissal of officials, ransacking of homes, and exile, the most serious fact is first faced by Queen Mother Yang and the little emperor Zhu Cilin. How to arrange A large number of official vacancies in the six departments of the central court...

"Mother, aren't our methods too rough and direct?" The little emperor Zhu Cilin dragged his chin with his hands and said with some headaches. "Look now, more than half of the officials of the six ministries have been lost, and it is almost impossible to guarantee the normal operation. Poor Fatty Shi is exhausted!"

"Don't use the fat man, use the fat man's barking!"

Empress Dowager Yang took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and handed the half-missed teacup to the maidservant!

"Aijia tells you that the Ming Dynasty under your rule has a lot of everything, including talents. Although there are a lot of vacancies for the officials of the six departments, believe it or not, the emperor, in a few days, Shi Shoufu will definitely pull out a lot of talents to fill the six departments. The vacancy! So what we mother and son should worry about now is not this, but what the foreign envoys are planning!"

"What kind of idea can those red-haired barbarians come up with? It's nothing more than asking for trade between the two countries!" Speaking of this matter, Zhu Cilin's attitude became serious.

"Since the Ming Dynasty opened Penglai Port and Yuegang (Fujian Zhangzhou Prefecture) as foreign trade ports, business taxes have been increasing year by year. Many merchants have made violence from them, and Hongmaoyi merchants are among them. The mother is not Have you ever said that they have earned a lot of money, and when their minds grow up, they naturally want more! That Portugal occupies Haojingao, and the Netherlands occupies Dongfan (Taiwan) are examples.

The queen mother also said that if there is one, there is two. Our rich and beautiful Daming is like a piece of delicious fat, which has long been targeted by those barbarians who have not yet enlightened in the West.I believe that if you are not from my clan, your heart must be different. The group of Tartars outside the pass who retreated to Shengjing and were almost maimed by their uncles is not the same. Fortunately, the queen mother is well prepared, otherwise the son and sisters will be killed. There is one more Tartar stepfather! "

This sentence is good at the beginning, but the latter sentence is not right no matter how it sounds.Is this brat kidding himself about the marriage proposal letter that was said to have been written by Huang Taiji himself?

Empress Dowager Yang's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she finally couldn't hold back and gave Zhu Cilin a slap, and scolded with a smile. "Aijia is something you, a son, can laugh at."

"Empress, son-in-law is wrong!"

Rubbing his forehead, Zhu Cilin begged for mercy. "My son didn't do it on purpose, it was just a slip of the tongue, mainly to show that the barbarians are uneasy and well-intentioned, there must be a conspiracy in this meeting!"
