Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 20 The power of life and death, the supremacy of imperial power!
Zhan Doudou's roar echoed in the Qinzheng Hall, frightening the ministers so much that they trembled all over, and the empress dowager behind the curtain also turned pale.

They could all see that Zhan Doudou was really angry this time, without any pretense.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Show the things to the court officials and let them judge them." Chen Luo stroked Zhan Doudou's hand to calm her down.

This was the first time he saw Zhan Doudou get angry. To make her so angry, it was obvious that Marquis Changning had made a lot of mistakes.

Zhan Doudou held his hand again, feeling the warmth in his palm. The anger in her chest dissipated a lot, and she casually handed the scroll to the eunuch who came forward.

"Look, everyone! Look at me! This is my good uncle, the Queen Mother's good brother, and my good Marquis of Northern Qi!!"

The eunuch did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took the scroll and handed it to Uesugi Tora. Uesugi Tora glanced at it casually and his expression turned ugly.

"Hmph!!" Uesugi Tora snorted coldly, the evil spirit around him emanated, and he threw the scroll to the pale-faced Minister of Justice.

After reading it, the Minister of Justice did not even bother to circulate it. He suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to say anything. Seeing this, the other ministers hurried forward to take the scroll and gathered around to read it.

After reading it, they were all as frightened as the Minister of Justice, and all knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down!!"

Although they knew that Wei Jian had done all kinds of bad things, they didn't expect Wei Jian to be so bold. They finally understood why Zhan Doudou and Uesugi Hu were angry.

The embezzlement of military pay and disaster relief funds resulted in the border guards not having pay for several months, and even food and clothing became a problem. The victims of the disaster were also killed and injured everywhere, and the people complained bitterly.

Changning Marquis Wei Jian used the embezzled money for enjoyment, without caring about the lives of the people and disaster victims. He even sent people to kill officials and people who came to the capital to file a complaint.

These are just two of the crimes. There are dozens of other crimes, and each one is not much less serious than these two!
Even though their hands are not clean, they all want to shout that their crimes are too numerous to list, too unforgivable to be forgiven by heaven, and cannot be atonement even by death!

When the empress dowager behind the curtain saw this scene, her face turned extremely pale in an instant. She closed her eyes in despair, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

She knew clearly that Changning Marquis Wei Jian was completely finished. Even she, the Queen Mother, could not protect him, and no one in the world could protect him!
Haitang Duoduo patted her shoulder to comfort her, but her eyes looked at Chen Luo through the curtain.

She now really felt that Ku He was not lying. Chen Luo was the destined Phoenix Girl. This was not an excuse.

How long has Chen Luo been here? The political situation in Northern Qi has been changing again and again. Now that Changning Hou has been overthrown, I am afraid that it will not be long before the power of Northern Qi will be gathered in Zhan Doudou's hands again.

"Empress, Your Majesty, the Royal Guards have also discovered that Marquis Changning and Marquis Chang'an are colluding with each other and are suspected of secretly raising troops and forging armor with the intention of rebellion!

"The Imperial Guards have already collected evidence, and commanders Baihu and Xuanwu have already taken people to capture him!" Qinglong revealed another bombshell.

rebellion??
This word touched the hearts of everyone present. The faces of several ministers changed, their heads lowered even lower, and their bodies trembled visibly.

Even the Queen Mother was shocked and angry. She was shocked that her two brothers actually had such ambitions. She was angry at how dare they do that, and at Qinglong's attitude of wanting to kill them all.

Treason is a serious crime that will exterminate nine generations of the family. Once convicted, no one in the Wei family would be able to survive except her.

But treason did touch her weak spot, leaving her in a dilemma: on one side were her not-so-close family members and friends, and on the other was the imperial power.

After a while, the Queen Mother closed her eyes weakly, and when she opened them again, they were ice-cold. It was obvious that she had made her choice.

"Bang!!" In a rage, Zhan Doudou kicked over the table in front of him. The noise frightened the ministers so much that they trembled even more. Even Uesugi Tora, who had been resting with his eyes closed, knelt on one knee.

At this time, no one dared to say that she was wrong to do so. All the ministers just wanted this matter to be over quickly, otherwise the fire might affect them.

You know, they were all speaking well of Marquis Changning before, and now that it has been revealed that Marquis Changning and Marquis Chang'an are planning to rebel, it is only natural that they will be affected.

"What are you all kneeling for? Speak up! Weren't you very talkative before? What about the royal family's reputation? What about for Northern Qi? Is this what you mean by for Northern Qi?"

Zhan Doudou breathed rapidly, his eyes widened with anger: "I told you to speak!!"

Chen Luo tightened his interlocked hands with hers, but he did not try to persuade her, nor did he have any intention of stopping her. Instead, he was very satisfied with Zhan Doudou's current appearance.

The furious Zhan Doudou is no longer the emperor who had no regal temperament before. Now she has the initial dignity of an emperor. At the same time, he also wants to take this opportunity to let Zhan Doudou establish her authority.

It also made these court officials understand that Zhan Doudou was the emperor and the rightful controller of imperial power!
No matter how much they think, or how hard they try to curry favor and take sides, as long as Zhan Doudou opens his mouth, all their so-called backers can be overthrown, including the Queen Mother!

The power of life and death, the supremacy of the emperor, nothing is more supreme than this!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We beg you to take your health seriously and not let the traitors hurt you!"

"I beg Your Majesty to destroy the rebels and severely punish all those who conspired with them!"

"The crime of treason should be punished by execution of all nine generations of the clan, but..." When the Imperial Censor said this, he looked cautiously at the empress dowager behind the curtain, his meaning was self-evident.

The other ministers were the same, but no one dared to speak. They just waited quietly for Zhan Doudou to speak.

Now they are really scared. What about standing in line, what about fighting for power? In the end, won’t it all end so easily? As long as Zhan Doudou is still the emperor, no matter how much they do, they can’t make any waves.

Zhan Doudou's anger had dissipated a lot. She also turned to look at the curtain, holding Chen Luo's hand tightly, and was a little nervous about the Queen Mother's choice.

Chen Luo looked through the curtain and met the Queen Mother's gaze.

After a while, a deep sigh came from behind the curtain: "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Your Majesty should deal with him according to the law."

"I feel a little tired these days, so I won't come to the morning court. I will go back and rest first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure behind the curtain stood up and left with the help of a palace maid.

The ministers who had still held out some hope closed their eyes in pain upon hearing this. They knew what the Queen Mother meant. She wanted to return power to Zhan Doudou.

Zhan Doudou looked at the figure behind the curtain with gratitude. The Queen Mother had given so much for her, but there were some things she had to do, for the people of the world, for herself and... She tightened her hands clasped with Chen Luo's fingers, he!
Zhan Doudou turned to Qinglong and said, "Since the Queen Mother has said so, let's do it according to the law."

"Anything else? If not, then we can leave now."
