Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

In the Guangming Hall of Changle Palace.

Xie Lang sat upright in his seat, listening to Chen Ziyu's report.

Chen Ziyu told Xie Lang in detail the officials' reactions and words.

"I understand."

It was just an ordinary sentence, and his expression didn't even change.

When Chen Ziyu was surprised, Xie Lang said again: "Well done."

Before Chen Ziyu could even rejoice, she heard Xie Lang continue to say, "Go down and improve the female official system."

Chen Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, bowed and left.

After Chen Ziyu left, Xie Lang looked at the sky outside, which was gradually getting dark.

After washing up, I went to bed.

The next morning.

When Xie Lang woke up, the sky was still dark and snow was falling outside.

The arrangement of the court meetings in Dayan was that except for the emergency meetings, grand court celebrations, and the first and fifteenth day court meetings, the rest were held every five days.

There was no morning court today. After breakfast, Xie Lang went to Guangming Hall to continue working.

Time passed slowly, and soon the sky became bright.

The sky gets brighter later in winter, so it is already the Chen hour.

"Your Majesty, Yang Zhan, the Minister of Rites, requests to see you."

As soon as Xie Lang heard the palace servant's report, he knew why he came.

I guess he is here to confess his crime.

As expected, as soon as Yang Zhan came in, he knelt down and saluted towards Xie Lang: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Xie Lang asked knowingly, "What crime have you committed?"

"I am the Minister of Rites. I failed to supervise my subordinates and allowed them to offend the female official who was delivering your Majesty's instructions. I am guilty and I ask your Majesty to punish me."

After Yang Zhan returned to the Ministry of Rites, he heard about what those people had done and got very angry.

They mocked him in front of the female official. Were they really not afraid that the news would reach Xie Lang? You know, their mockery even included Xie Lang.

When the time comes, those officials will be charged with a crime of disrespect and will be dead.

There is a possibility that even I will be implicated. No, I have already been implicated.

A bunch of idiots.

"This won't happen again. I don't want to hear such words again."

Xie Lang's words still did not contain any emotion, but they made Yang Zhan feel relieved.

Xie Lang didn't want to pursue the matter any further, so he said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise, I will restrain those officials when I return. If there is a next time..."

"If it happens again, you will be the one collecting their bodies."

She could tolerate it once, but she would never tolerate it a second time.

When the murderous words came out, Yang Zhan's heart couldn't help but shudder. Since Xie Lang said so, he must be serious.

"Get up." Xie Lang asked calmly, "Regarding the placement of the emperor's concubines, have you discussed the results?"

When Yang Zhan heard this, he had already guessed some of her thoughts.

She definitely did not mean to let the concubines continue to live in the harem, otherwise she would not have brought it up.

What she proposed was to ask them to find a way to move those concubines away.

They knew that Xie Lang had already firmly established herself on the throne, and even the return of the retired emperor could not shake her position.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

As long as the retired emperor's concubines are still in the harem, does it mean that Xie Lang will have to abdicate as soon as the retired emperor returns? After all, generally only the emperor's concubines can live in the harem.

Although the possibility of the emperor's restoration is not high, it is still possible, so Xie Lang tried every means to move them away.

Yes, that must be the case. Yang Zhan thought a lot in his mind and felt that this answer was the most appropriate.

"It may be inconvenient for the emperor's concubines to continue staying in the harem, so they can be moved to the Bei'an Palace in the suburbs of Daliang. When the emperor returns, they can live directly in the palace."

Yang Zhan felt that his handling of the matter was brilliant, as he not only settled the concubines of the retired emperor, but also the retired emperor.

What Xie Lang must have been worried about was that once the retired emperor returned, it would be awkward for him to live in the palace. Placing him in the temporary palace not only saved the face of His Majesty, but also saved the face of the retired emperor. It was really a good idea!

"Then do as you say."

Xie Lang didn’t know what Yang Zhan had in mind, but this arrangement was in line with her thoughts.

After hearing what Xie Lang said, Yang Zhan became more certain of his guess.

After Yang Zhan left, Xie Lang called Chen Ziyu over.

"The imperial edicts were drawn up separately, promoting Chen He, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, to the position of Minister of War; Yang Zhan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, to the position of Minister of Rites; and Zhu Youtao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to the position of Minister of Revenue."

It was originally agreed that the official would be promoted by one level, but the Vice Minister of the six ministries was of the third rank, while the Shangshu was of the second rank, with a difference of two levels in between. In addition, the position of Shangshu was so important that the matter was shelved.

However, there are no candidates for the Shangshu in the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works at the moment, so the matter will be put on hold for now and discussed later.

After Chen Ziyu drafted the three edicts, she gave them to Xie Lang for review. Xie Lang began to revise them on the spot and asked her to rewrite them after the revisions.

After she had copied it, she stamped it with various seals.

One copy was sent by the Minister of War to the border at full speed and handed to Chen He, and the other two copies were given to Chen Ziyu to read out.

Just like that, another hour passed.

Wei Renda came, his face looked very strange, as if he was troubled by something.

"Your Majesty, I have encountered a matter that requires your Majesty's decision."

"What's the matter?" Xie Lang picked up the tea on the table, took a sip slowly, and then said calmly.

"At the last court meeting, Your Majesty promoted all officials in the capital by one level. However, Zhang Zexian, the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, heard the news as bad news and did not want to be promoted. He only said that he only wanted to stay in the Metropolitan Censorate as a Censor. Your Majesty still needs to make a decision on this matter."

If the Censor wanted to be promoted further, he would have to be transferred to another department, but he was unwilling to do so.

Zhang Zexian thought there was nothing good in going to other departments. Although the Censor-in-Chief was a minor official of the seventh rank, he was relatively free after all. He could criticize anyone he wanted and would not be convicted based on his words.

If you go to other departments, you can't criticize people at will. Criticizing people is the job of the Censor-in-Chief.

So last time he sighed in the Censorate.

There was actually an official at a higher level in the Censorate, but he was only of the fourth rank, so Zhang Zexian was not qualified.

This was exactly what troubled Wei Renda. He was advised to go to other departments and then be transferred back to the Censorate in the future, but he refused to do so and was extremely stubborn.

If any other seventh-rank official said this, he would not want to pay any attention.

But Wei Renda read the resume of his brother Zhang Chengxian, who was dismembered for cursing the Khitan.

Now Zhang Zexian was the only one left in the Zhang family, so he hesitated.

So he left the matter to Xie Lang to decide.

"Zhang the Exiled Immortal?"

Xie Lang murmured to himself. Li Jingming still had some impression of this name in his memory.

This guy is a master at courting death. He is either courting death or on his way to death all day long.

Today he impeached the Minister of Personnel, tomorrow he impeached the Minister of Revenue, and the day after tomorrow he started impeaching the entire court, and even Li Jingming was not spared.

In the end, he offended everyone in the court, and nothing happened after that.
