I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Faced with the pressure from the young emperor and the crowd, the Minister of Personnel could only speak hesitantly: "I dare not express my opinion. After all, the people involved are still my subordinates. In order to avoid suspicion and to show fairness, I will obey your majesty's decision."

Wow, the ball is kicked back.

The right prime minister couldn't help but frown.

The left prime minister also shook his head with an expression that said "this old fox can only protect himself".

The only one who was happy was probably the Minister of Justice. When the Minister of Personnel finished speaking, he immediately looked at Shang Wenqi and said, "Captain Shang, you have seen that even the Minister of Personnel said that the power is left to His Majesty to decide. How dare you detain someone? Why don't you hand over Lord Zhou quickly?"

Facing the accusations from the Minister of Personnel, Shang Wenqi was neither humble nor arrogant, but just glanced at him indifferently.

"As the Minister of Justice said, your Majesty will make the final decision. How dare you recommend someone on his behalf?"

"You!" The Minister of Justice was immediately angry.

"Okay, I'm confused by your different opinions."

Finally, when the two sides were in a stalemate, the noble person behind the screen finally spoke. The female voice was low and intimidating without anger, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Didn't they say that the 100,000 taels of gold embezzlement case has been closed? Why are there all these messy follow-ups? In my opinion, the Ministry of Justice is not good enough. Let's change the place of investigation to avoid this matter from happening again and again."

After these words came out, the Minister of Justice turned pale and said, "It is because of my poor performance that the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty are so worried. Please give me another chance, Your Majesty. I will do my best to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Give you a chance? The fate of the 100 taels of gold has not been decided yet. Instead of taking on a new case, it is better to re-examine the old one. Your Majesty, what do you think?" The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor indifferently.

Although there was a screen between them, her pressure made the little emperor move uncomfortably, and he spoke in a stammering voice.

"I think... what my mother said is very right. If the Ministry of Justice is incompetent, then let's hand it over to someone who is capable..."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong."

At this moment, footsteps were heard in the hall again, and then a woman in her thirties with a pretty face walked in.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager." When the ministers saw the newcomer, they immediately paid their respects tactfully.

The Queen Dowager nodded and slowly looked up.

The person behind the screen frowned unhappily and his voice became even deeper.

"What are you doing here? How can we allow women to step into the court so casually?"

"I am a woman, what about my sister?" The Queen Dowager curled her lips: "My sister is worried about the young Majesty, and would rather take the risk of being scolded by the world to rule the country from behind the curtain. As the biological mother of Majesty, how can I hide behind others?"

"What a joke!" The Queen Mother patted the chair and said, "You don't deserve it."

"Whether it is suitable or not, your Majesty has the final say." The Queen Dowager said, smiling and looking at the little emperor: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be afraid, just do it according to your heart."

The little emperor moved uncomfortably again. Facing the pressure from the two women's gazes, he finally seemed to have made a decision. He suddenly raised his head and said to the eunuch next to him, "Give the Empress Dowager a seat."

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with dissatisfaction.

However, the little emperor straightened his back, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind this time.

The Empress Dowager frowned and clenched her fists, but as things had come to this, her quarrel with the Concubine Dowager in the court would only make the ministers who already had other thoughts look down on the royal family even more. In the end, she could only endure it temporarily and remain silent.

In this way, the Empress Dowager proudly climbed up step by step to the seat on the right side of the Emperor and sat down.

During this time, the ministers remained silent, staring at the floor in silence, as if the fight between the Queen Mother and the Royal Concubine was just an illusion that they could neither see nor hear.

The Empress Dowager sat down and glanced at the people in the hall. "I already know what happened here. It is true that the Ministry of Justice did not handle the case of the 100,000 taels of gold very well, but as the saying goes, familiarity is not new. Since this matter is also related to the 100,000 taels of gold, let's let the Ministry of Justice investigate it together."

The Minister of Justice was delighted. "What the Empress Dowager said is right. The Ministry of Justice will definitely remember the lesson of the gold case and will not take it lightly again. We will do our best to investigate this matter and not let the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty down."

"Your Majesty, since the Minister of Justice has said so, please give the order." The Empress Dowager looked at the little emperor with a smile.

"But..." The little emperor glanced at the screen hesitantly. It was not that he didn't want to, but he had just said that someone capable would do it. If he changed his decision now, what would he do if the empress dowager criticized him?

At this time, the Queen Dowager laughed again: "Speaking of which, although Shang Duwei is a royal guard, to put it bluntly, he is at best just a branch of the city guard. The city guard should do its duty. If the case of the Ministry of Justice is also investigated, what is the use of the Ministry of Justice? Today it is the Ministry of Justice. Will it be the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Works tomorrow? If so, won't the Qingyun Left Cavalry have power over the court and the country?"

"Don't be so rude and talk nonsense." The Queen Mother frowned and scolded.

"Oh, the Qingyun Left Cavalry is from the Zhennan Army. To put it bluntly, they are all the personal guards of the Empress Dowager. The only one they really obey is you, the Empress Dowager.

Now that the ministers in the court are not doing their job well, you are placing your own people in the court, waiting for an opportunity to undermine the court... Anyone would think so, right?"

Facing the taunts of the Empress Dowager, the ministers bowed their heads and said, "We dare not."

The Queen Dowager continued to laugh: "Sister, I am only thinking about you and the Zhennan Army."

"The Empress Dowager is right. In this case, let the Ministry of Justice continue to handle this matter. Commander Shang, please hand Lord Zhou over to the Ministry of Justice."

The young prince straightened his back and spoke.

Shang Wenqi didn't say anything, just bowed in response.

"I thank your Majesty for your trust, and thank the Empress Dowager for her kind words. Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, I will make sure everything is clear within a month."

The Minister of Punishments and the Doctor of the Qing History Department happily saluted His Majesty and the Empress Dowager and surrendered the military order to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked at the people in the hall calmly and said, "In this case, Ah Qi, return Mr. Zhou to them. Not only that, I will also punish you by suspending you from your post immediately until the truth is revealed."

"Well, Queen Mother, Captain Shang was just eager to save people, why blame him so much." The Right Prime Minister shook his head in disapproval: "Qingyun Left Cavalry is the royal guard. As the commander of Qingyun Left Cavalry, Lord Shang should not be suspended lightly to avoid trouble."

The Right Prime Minister has a characteristic. He is a veteran official of three generations. He does not form cliques or take sides. He is only loyal to the country of Daliang. Therefore, no matter who the target is, he will attack as long as it is detrimental to the country of Daliang.

Such a person is the type that the superiors both love and hate. Theoretically, the empress dowager who rules the country from behind the curtain should be the type who hates him.

After all, it is not easy to rule behind the scenes, and being criticized every day would make anyone annoyed.
