Tang Zhao and Mingda couldn't help being surprised that the imperial edicts appeared one after another today.

The two hurried to the main hall, the servant who delivered the decree had been waiting for a while, and immediately got up to salute when he saw Mingda and the two arrived.Ming Da stopped him, and anxiously asked first: "Is Brother Huang okay?"

The servant who delivered the decree replied: "Return to Your Highness, everything is well, Your Majesty, this imperial decree was specially written after His Highness left."

Mingda heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and put down half of his heart.However, after the imperial decree was read out, Mingda's mood, which had been so hard to clean up before, suddenly turned bad again—the imperial decree conveyed good news. The word Fuguo was added before the title.

Princess Fuguo, even if she doesn't have more honors, the meaning of this name alone is not to be ignored.And with this title, it seemed natural for Mingda to handle the government affairs on his behalf.

Seeing that Mingda had accepted the order, the servant who delivered the order was much more respectful.However, after receiving the imperial decree, Her Highness the Princess pursed her lips tightly, showing nothing at all.The servant didn't necessarily want Mingda to show anything special, but she didn't speak, and she didn't dare to leave after the servant delivered the edict, so she looked at Mingda with a bit of wistfulness.

It was Tang Zhao who was at the side who took care of it. He greeted the servant and sent him away. Before leaving, he didn't forget to stuff some gold and silver into the person's hand, but he was very knowledgeable.

As soon as the servant left, Mingda held the imperial decree and finally couldn't help frowning: "Brother Huang, what's the matter, first he gave me that secret decree, and now he issued such an imperial decree...Brother A Ting, I'm a little flustered ah."

In fact, where is Tang Zhao's peace of mind?But in front of Mingda, her face was quite calm: "Don't think too much, it's okay, I think His Majesty's move was a temporary idea, most likely because of your previous domineering appearance."

Mingda paused slightly when he heard the words, and tentatively asked: "Really?"

Tang Zhao nodded and said affirmatively, "Really."

Whether it's true or not, Mingda doesn't care now, what she cares about is that Tang Zhao saw her domineering appearance before.I think she was a delicate and weak little princess in front of Tang Zhao at the beginning, but now that she has become like this, what if the other party doesn't like it? !

His thoughts went astray, and Mingda grabbed Tang Zhao's hand and explained: "Brother A Ting, listen to me, I'm not like that on weekdays. It's just that I'm young and too kind to frighten people in court. ..."

She explained it in a long way, Tang Zhao looked a little funny, and said after a while: "It's good that Mingda is like this."

Mingda's words stopped abruptly, and his beautiful eyes fell on Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao continued: "I also like this kind of understanding."

It was rare to hear her express her heart, Mingda's ears were slightly red, but his eyes were bright.At this moment, Mingda could listen to whatever Tang Zhao wanted to say, which was not easy to coax.

After clearing up their moods, the two of them looked at the imperial decree in front of them.Although the imperial decree came suddenly and made people panic for no reason, it is always a good thing to improve Mingda's status, and the mountain of official documents in the side hall is not in vain after all.

The matter of Ming Da adding the title did not cause too many disturbances. After all, even without the title of Fuguo, it is not uncommon for these elderly princesses to interfere in the government affairs.Adding a title now, in the eyes of many people, is even a late compensation.

The matter passed without incident. The emperor had been ill for a long time this time, and he recovered from the lingering illness for half a month.

And in the past half month, Mingda has been tossing around in the court again, pulling many people off his horse on the charge of corruption and bribery-corruption and bribery is true.However, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although corruption and bribery are not prevalent in the court, there are still a small number of people who are truly alone.Mingda obviously wasn't in a hurry to rectify these things, and this time he was just making use of it.

Tang Zhao looked at the list in his hand, picked up the ink pen and crossed out the last name, then raised his head and said to Mingda: "The cooking is almost done here, and if we continue, we should scare the snake away."

That's right, the so-called corruption and bribery are just an introduction. After all, the two are still eradicating the forces left by Emperor Yanping.This is not easy, after all, the latter used to be the emperor, and it is the orthodoxy handed down by the Tai | ancestors. No matter how long it has been in the past, there will always be some pedantic people who will choose to be loyal.It is also because of this that the Tang family occasionally shows some tricks, which gives them the illusion that they are covering the sky with one hand.

Mingda leaned on Tang Zhao's shoulder when he heard the words, and watched her hands full of dozens of names being melted away, but he was not in a good mood.In particular, there are many high-ranking officials among these names, such as officials such as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Finance, who are also impressively listed.

His eyes fell on the name of the Hubu Zuo Shilang, and Mingda's gaze was particularly cold—Hu Zhao, the Hubu Zuo Shilang, was the second in the Enke ranking in the first year of Yuanping, and he was promoted so quickly because of the appreciation of Mingda brothers and sisters.However, he did not deserve this appreciation. It has been more than eight years since he entered the household department.

treasury

He was evacuated by the left servant, and the entire household department was implicated by this investigation.In particular, the Hubu Shangshu, who was originally ready to serve as an old man, was not guaranteed at the end of the year. Not only was he deprived of his official position, he was even sent to prison.

Mingda raised his hand, tapped Hu Zhao's name with his fingertips, and suddenly said: "Such a person has swallowed up a million taels of our country's treasury, and he must be taught a lesson."

Tang Zhao did not refuse, but instead handed over the ink brush in his hand, watching Mingda write the decision on the paper in one go.

After making such a big mistake, Hu Zhao could not escape death, but the loss of the court cannot be ignored.Therefore, in Mingda's execution, in addition to the punishment that should be given, it was even more drastic, trying to extract the million taels of silver from the other party's home—the house was ransacked and the house was sealed, and the ready-made jewelry and money were nothing. The unexpected Mingda's treatment of Hu Zhao's family.

After investigating, the Hu family knew nothing about Hu Zhao, and even the whole Hu family lived in poverty, so Mingda didn't want these people's lives.She asked them to redeem themselves, and the whole family was exactly one million taels, and the number of dead and alive was worth a million taels. From then on, all the money they made was confiscated into the treasury to pay off debts except for their survival.

One million taels is too much, and most of the Hu family are ordinary people, one or two generations are not even clear at all.So this debt has been passed on firmly, and the children and grandchildren will always have to pay it off one day.

Tang Zhao couldn't help laughing after reading this decision, and sighed after laughing: "I don't know if the left servant will regret it now?"

Mingda gave her the answer, shook his head and said, "He is stubborn."

Tang Zhao then shook the paper in his hand and suggested, "Then what if I show him this?"

Because of one's own selfishness, he harmed his children and grandchildren, and it didn't end with a single knife, but it was like a blunt knife cutting through the flesh for several generations.Rao is Zuo Shilang who prides himself on being loyal and never regretting it, and he is afraid that he will regret it until his stomach turns green.

Mingda's use of this to deter everyone would be effective, and Tang Zhao's proposal was also adopted by her.The two then put aside these things and talked about the ownership of the one million taels of money that was embezzled.

Without much thought, the two came to a conclusion: it must have been given to Emperor Yanping who was hiding in the dark.

Tang Zhao said: "Emperor Yanping was unwilling to fail, and he has caused troubles all these years. But except for the palace change that year, the rest can only be regarded as small troubles. He either used this much money to buy people's hearts, or... …that is, raising private soldiers.”

More than 30 years ago, the reason why the first emperor was able to seize the throne from Emperor Yanping was because he raised private soldiers and launched a mutiny.Emperor Yanping wanted to take revenge and regain the throne, so maybe he would follow the old path of the late emperor.

Mingda thought for a while, but shook his head and said: "It's not worthwhile to raise private soldiers. After all, Emperor Yanping still has an orthodox name, just like he was able to instigate the rebellion of the Imperial Army back then, and maybe he can also incite other armies. Instead of working hard It’s hard for me to keep private soldiers, so it’s better to use these to attract the army to do things at any time, and he won’t feel bad if it’s damaged.”

This makes sense, and private soldiers are not so easy to raise.Not to mention the necessary equipment such as swords and armor. If there are a large number of private soldiers, eating and drinking will be a problem. Buying a large amount of food and grass will always attract attention.And if the number of private soldiers is not large, it seems meaningless to raise them. It is more useful to train a few dead soldiers.

The two discussed this for a long time, but unfortunately they couldn't come to a conclusion.Emperor Yanping hid it so well that no one knew where he was hiding or what he was doing.Moreover, the two of them are juniors, and they only know this person by name, so they really don't know him well.

Tang Zhao finally came to a conclusion: "It is better to lure people out, otherwise there will always be endless disasters."

Mingda had no choice but to poke her on the cheek: "Everyone knows this, but it's just that no one can be found."

That's true, Tang Zhao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, Mingda didn't know what she was thinking.Afterwards, the two of them wrote and drew pictures, and decided the ending of everyone on that piece of paper.

In half a month, there were quite a few officials in the court whose homes were ransacked and sent to prison.When the emperor recovered from his illness and appeared in the court hall again, everyone in the hall felt that there were many familiar faces missing, and even the hall was a little empty.

But the emperor didn't say anything, he turned a blind eye to Mingda's handling, and even someone submitted a memorial to Mingda, and he directly burned the memorial.The news spread out of the palace, it can be seen that he has great trust in this imperial sister who depends on each other for life.

Mingda was not surprised by her royal brother's trust, and she didn't say anything more about it, but when Song Zhen came back on the holiday, she packed the child and sent it to the palace to accompany her royal brother.

Let him see how young his son is now, how can he rest assured if he doesn't last for a few more years?

Secondly, Xiumu rarely has free time, Mingda wants to have a romantic relationship with Tang Zhao, wants to have sex with her, and doesn't want multiple children to get in the way.

The emperor knew this well, he had nothing to say but felt sorry for his own child—Xiao Songzhen was obviously too obedient, and Mingda said that he was asked to enter the palace to accompany his uncle who had just fallen ill, so he just He came without any hesitation.He didn't feel that he was disgusted or fooled at all, as if Mingda's selling him was just a matter of convenience.
