Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 484: Song Dynasty: Bringing Peace to All Ages (67)

After that, Zhao Zheng waved his hands in disappointment and sighed to Zhiyu, "An'er, the Prime Minister is not strict in managing his family and is helping the tyrant to commit atrocities. What do you think?"

Zhiyu was silent for a moment, and thought seriously: "The Prime Minister has done his best for our Song Dynasty over the years, but one thing is one thing, since he made a mistake, the Prime Minister must accept the punishment."

"In my opinion, the corruption of the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the sale of official positions can be handled by the Ministry of Justice."

"As for the Prime Minister..., he should be demoted two levels and be confined to reflect on his mistakes for three months."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded and said to the guards standing on both sides calmly: "Didn't you hear what the new emperor said? Why don't you take the prime minister away to reflect on his mistakes?"

Hearing what Zhao Zhen said, a guard immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Du Yan in a tough manner, "Prime Minister, please come in."

Du Yan looked at Zhao Zhen, who was eager to have Zhiyu ascend the throne, and then looked at Zhiyu, who was wearing a dragon robe. For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice extremely sad.

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

"The hen crows at dawn.

"The hen crows at dawn..."

"Hahaha."

After saying that, he raised his hand to brush away the hands of the guards around him and stumbled out.

He untied the hat on his head as he walked.

"Your Majesty, I can no longer be the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.

"You'd better ask for help from someone else."

"Du is a proud man and cannot accept a woman dominating him."

Looking at Du Yan with a crazy expression, Zhiyu sneered.

The next moment, the Taia sword in her hand drew an arc in the air.

“clang….”

The sound of a long sword stabbing against a wooden board was heard. Everyone looked and saw a sword emitting a cold light stuck on the door of the hall.

There is also a black long-winged hat hanging on the sword.

"Sir Du, since you don't want to be an official anymore, please leave this hat in the palace."

"I thought you entered the court as an official for the people of the world."

"Now it seems that you are no different from those people who seek fame and reputation..."

"The people of the world never care who the emperor is. What they care about is whether the emperor in the temple can let them live a stable life."

"You hold the position of Prime Minister, but you don't even know what the people really want."

"I, the Song Dynasty, would not dare to have an official like you."

Du Yan looked at his empty hands, then at the sword stuck in the door, and felt extremely humiliated.

He turned his back to the crowd, shook his head desolately, and said sarcastically: "Since Princess knows what the people want, then you..., just govern this world well."

"I want to see how the world will be governed by the princess."

Zhiyu smiled faintly, "Then Lord Du, just watch carefully."

"I, Zhao An, am no worse than any other man."

"Even if I am the emperor, I, Zhao An, will not be inferior to anyone else."

Seeing Zhiyu so confident, Du Yan shook his head lightly and strode out of the hall.

It is good for young people to be confident, but overconfidence is not a good thing.

Being an emperor is not that easy...

After Du Yan left, everyone at the banquet unconsciously looked at the sword stuck on the door.

Would this sword cut their necks silently?

Zhao Zhen sat back in his seat, looked at Bao Zheng who was sitting there doing nothing, and said, "Master Bao, continue."

Upon hearing this, Bao Zheng bowed in response and immediately took the next memorial from Wang Anshi.

"Song Xiang, the Privy Councilor, embezzled a total of 2,000 taels of gold and killed 20 civilians during his tenure as a local official."

When Song Xiang heard Bao Zheng mention his name, he was startled and quickly shouted to Zhao Zhen:

"Your Majesty, I am wronged."

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you mean, I wronged you?"

Song Xiang shook his head, "The emperor is very observant and will definitely not wrongly accuse me."

As he spoke, Song Xiang looked at Bao Zheng with resentment, "I think someone is exaggerating this out of personal vengeance........."

Bao Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to Song Xiang's expression, and just replied calmly: "The contents of this memorial were checked by the people of the Imperial City Bureau. Bao was not involved from beginning to end."

"Sir Song, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."

"If you didn't do these things, how could the people from the Imperial City Bureau find out about this?"

After saying that, Bao Zheng calmly handed the memorial to Song Xiang, "There is evidence on the back of the memorial, Lord Song, take a look at it yourself, and see if someone has wronged you."

Song Xiang took the memorial and read it quickly.

Seeing the end, he dropped his hands helplessly and said with a bitter smile: "Sir, I accept the punishment..."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Yu'er, how do you think this should be judged?"

Zhiyu sneered, "Killing someone means paying with one's life. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, Lord Song...should be killed."

As Zhiyu finished speaking, without Zhao Zhen's reminder, the guards on both sides consciously carried Song Xiang out.

Hearing about Zhiyu's punishment for him, Song Xiang panicked, "Sir, my crime does not deserve death..."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Killing someone means paying with one's life, that's only right."

"Take it down."

"Bao Zheng, continue."

"Yes."

..........

After Bao Zheng finished reading all the memorials in the first box, there were fewer people at the banquet.

Looking at the remaining boxes that had not been opened, beads of nervous sweat appeared on everyone's forehead.

After so many years in the officialdom, no one can honestly say that he has never made any mistakes.

Even if they have not made any mistakes, they cannot guarantee that no one in the family has committed a crime.

After all, the family is full of mixed people, and they can't control it...

After reading the last memorial in the first box, Zhao Zhen raised his hand and stopped Wang Anshi who was about to open the second box.

"Gentlemen, do you think we should continue reading this memorial?"

After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.

The emperor's intention was very clear. Either they accepted the fact that the princess ascended the throne, or the emperor would settle the score later...

After hesitating for a moment, many ministers stood up tremblingly, knelt down and bowed to Zhiyu, saying: "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Zhiyu did not rush to call these ministers, but looked at others who had not expressed their opinions.

Most of these people were civil officials and military generals with proud character, among them was her fellow senior brother Fan Zhongyan.

"My Lords, are you not going to acknowledge me as your new ruler?"

An old and gentle official looked at Zhiyu steadily, shook his head and said, "It's unheard of for a princess to be an emperor."

"This old minister cannot accept this."

Zhiyu smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are not young anymore. You should leave the opportunities to the young people."
