Quick Wear: About the Things I Saved from the Villain

Chapter 343: The Little Emperor in Disguise vs. the General Who Hates Evil (3)

Before dawn, the poor new emperor was awakened.

Tangli opened his sleepy eyes and was helped by Wangyue to get dressed. He took the time to check the time in the system space.

Four o'clock in the morning, well, earlier than the chickens.

[When I think about the possibility of having to live like this for the rest of my life, I feel like this is the end of my life. ]

The answer to her was 777's snoring.

It's good to be young, just fall asleep.

Tangli looked up at the sky sadly, commemorating the sleep she had lost in this life.

Outside the Taihe Palace, court officials were gathered in groups of three or four. It was easy to tell at a glance whether they were from aristocratic families, upright officials, meritorious officials, or military generals.

As for the poor families, although the previous emperor adopted the imperial examination to recruit people from poor families, they were helpless because their foundation was too weak, the time was too short, and there was opposition from the aristocratic families. Currently, the only one who has a certain say in the court is the Minister of Justice.

Among the crowd of military generals, there was one who was particularly different.

He was wearing a purple official robe with delicate auspicious clouds embroidered on it. In the clouds was a lion, looking majestic and solemn.

In Dajing, only ministers above the third rank could wear purple official robes, with birds embroidered on them for civil officials and beasts embroidered on them for military generals. Among them, only military generals of the first and second ranks could have lions embroidered on them.

Next to him, another dark-skinned general was whispering something.

"...Take her too seriously...What are you talking about being timid about..."

"Master Zhang."

The man spoke, his voice containing a warning, "Be careful what you say."

The man looked around and lowered his head with a grim expression.

The purple-robed man patted his shoulder with a calm expression, but his other hand beneath the robe was clenched into a fist.

The palace gate slowly opened, and the voice of the chief imperial guard was very penetrating.

"The time has come, everyone, please hurry to the palace."

As the ministers entered the hall and stood in an orderly manner, a sharp voice was heard.

"Your Majesty has arrived, please greet me~"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone loves you."

The clear and gentle voice entered the ears, making people relax a little unconsciously.

All the ministers stood up, staring intently at the tablets in their hands, but their eyes glanced at the bright yellow figure on the dragon throne.

Legend has it that the young emperor killed his brother and seized the throne.

After yesterday's coronation ceremony, many people discovered that the new emperor, formerly the Second Prince, did not seem to be as timid as the legend said. Today, it turned out to be true.

Since his majesty was once suspected of disguise, is there any truth to the rumors?

Tang Li, who was sitting on the dragon chair, felt the gazes falling on him openly and covertly, and he remained exceptionally calm.

She is so beautiful, so what's wrong with letting them see her? It won't make her lose weight.

They could only watch secretly, but she was different, she watched openly.

Her eyes swept across the ministers in the front, matching the characters mentioned in the original plot one by one.

Finally, it came to the general's side, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Wen Junhuan, the second son of the Wen family, followed in his father's footsteps after General Wen passed away three years ago and went to the border with the crown prince. He is now a first-rank General Wu'an.

He is handsome, hates evil, has great martial arts skills and is a master at using troops. He is a famous Confucian general.

At the same time, he was personally selected by the late emperor, a companion to the late crown prince who was as close as a brother to him, and a steadfast member of the crown prince's party.

Most importantly, he is the villain of this world.

Tang Li withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly.

The observation and consideration of both sides seemed to take a long time, but in fact it only took a moment.

"If there is something to do, start the show, if there is nothing to do, leave the court~"

"Your Majesty..."

Looking at the man who stood out from the court officials holding a tablet, Tang Li's eyes were deep.

Xie Changjun, the Zuo Pushe, is the second master of the Xie family.

The aristocratic family is a little too impatient.

Not only did she think so, but the military generals and officials who were listening to Xie Changjun with their heads down, especially the ministers who had once been members of the Prince's Party, all thought so.

What Xie Changjun said was not particularly important, but it was slightly tentative.

Half a month ago, the governor of Yunzhou reported to the emperor that the prefect of Lanyun County was guilty of a series of crimes, including corruption, bribery, cruelty, bullying men and women, etc., including three deaths.

Now the facts have been clarified. It is true that he committed embezzlement, bribery and bullying of men and women, but no substantial evidence has been found for the remaining charges, including the three lives lost.

But both ordinary people and those involved in the case are certain that the remaining charges are true, but in the absence of evidence, they are a little hesitant about how to make a decision.

It just so happened that the prefect of Lanyun County was born in a remote branch of the Xie family, that is, a member of a noble family.

It was indeed a blatant test.

"Your Majesty..."

Some officials representing the upright class could no longer stand it and angrily stepped on the governor of Lanyun County.

The officials of the Qingliu faction had always been suppressed by the aristocratic families until the late emperor ascended the throne, when they were able to fight back. Now, naturally, they do not want the new emperor to stand on the side of the aristocratic families again.

Take a gamble, what if?

The official's words seemed to have opened some mechanism, and officials from the Qingliu and aristocratic families came out one after another to refute.

One side insisted that there was no evidence and there could be no heavy sentence, while the other side held that it was impossible for all of the so many civilians to be wrongly accused and demanded a heavy sentence.

It seemed to be the fault of a mere county magistrate, but in reality it was a guess and test of the new emperor's thoughts.

Tang Li watched them making noise with cold eyes, and only spoke with a half-smile until the noise died down.

"Are you done arguing?"

A silence.

Under her gaze, the minister who was speaking felt as if a thousand pounds of pressure were pressing down on him, and his heart became inexplicably nervous.

The backs of these old-timers in the court were sweating as they were watched, and the same thought emerged in their minds:

The new emperor is not simple.

They actually saw the shadow of the late emperor in him, but he was only sixteen years old, and it had been rumored that he was so timid that he rarely even left the palace!

Tang Li indifferently shifted his gaze away, looked at the queue of generals, and opened his mouth.

"What do you think, Mr. Wen?"

Hearing the name of Mr. Wen, all the ministers subconsciously looked at Wen Junyan among the civil officials.

The eldest son of the Wen family, the elder brother of Wen Junhuan, and the Minister of Justice Wen Junyan.

Because military generals seldom participated in other political affairs, in order to distinguish between the two, the former emperor usually called them General Wen and General Huan.

What's more, it was reasonable to ask Wen Junyan, the Minister of Justice, about this matter. Even Wen Junyan himself thought it was himself.

It was not until he looked up slightly that he realized that their little Majesty was calling his younger brother.

Just as he was about to speak, the emperor in power spoke again.

"I heard you, my dear."

In an instant, the expressions of most of the ministers became a little strange.

Since it concerns the punishment of officials, Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Minister of Justice but the general?

Are you asking about Wen Junhuan, the former crown prince's childhood companion and right-hand man when he grew up?

Moreover, this General Wen was well-known for his hatred of evil. When he led his troops to fight, his military orders were the strictest. If you ask him, isn't that right?

"Your Majesty, I think those who are cruel and unjust and oppress the people should be executed."

really.

The court officials thought it was no surprise that if the county magistrate had been in front of General Wen, he would have been beheaded long ago.
