Tyrant Reborn

After the sound of crackling and throwing things in Jiaotai Hall stopped, I pressed my hands on the table, panting heavily, my heart suddenly ached, and my anger didn't seem to disappear at all. I'm going back and forth in my head, it's so damn...

After a long time, I stopped my angry panting, and I felt steaming inside, my whole body felt weak, a little top-heavy.

Zhuo Wenjing stepped forward to support my arm, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, your body is hot, and I will send the imperial doctor to show you." I rubbed my forehead and hummed, "I'm tired." It's time to rest.

He helped me to the inner sanctum.

After helping me to lie on the bed, he hurriedly ordered Yuan Bao to invite the imperial doctor, and the inner eunuch to prepare some light meals. I wanted to say that I didn't have an appetite, but I didn't say anything in the end.

Before Yuan Bao left, I told him not to disturb the queen mother, and Yuan Bao responded.

After doing this, I was probably really tired. Of course, maybe it was purely bad mood. In short, the whole person was a little groggy, so I closed my eyes and rested.

But after a while, I heard Zhang Tingyu's voice, and his voice couldn't hide his shock and asked: "Empress Empress, Long Live Lord, this is..."

"Doctor Zhang, please keep your voice down." Zhuo Wenjing said in a low voice, "Long Live Lord was a little angry just now, and he vented his anger. I'm afraid he's tired."

Zhang Tingyu whispered, I wanted to open my eyes, but I was too lazy to move, so I let myself close my eyes and lie there motionless.

At this time, there were thin footsteps in my ears, and I felt someone standing at the head of the bed, gently taking my hand.

Seeing my situation, Zhang Tingyu probably wanted to hang the thread to diagnose my pulse. Needless to say, it must be Zhuo Wenjing who is wrapping the silk for me so gently at this moment.

His hands are cool and comfortable, I like it very much.

The red thread on the wrist moved, and after a while, Zhang Tingyu put away the thread.

"Master Zhang, the emperor..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Zhang Tingyu smiled and said, "Long Live Lord's mood is so disturbed that he is a little weak and unstable. I will prescribe two medicines for Long Live Lord, and it will be fine."

Zhuo Wenjing thanked him and asked Yuan Bao to take the prescription to get the medicine.

After Yuan Bao left, I opened my eyes. Zhuo Wenjing hurriedly walked to me after seeing it, with a worried look on his face. I waved my hand to stop him from speaking and said, "I'm resting here for the past two days. I won't see anyone who comes."

After I finished speaking, I closed my eyes and fell asleep again... Zhuo Wenjing responded in a low and gentle voice beside me. His voice was very shallow and soft, but it made people feel very at ease.

For the next two days, I didn't even go to bed in the morning, and I dismissed all the people my mother sent to see the doctor. At this time, I didn't want to see anyone except Zhuo Wenjing.

Drinking bitter medicine every day, the meals are useless.Zhuo Wenjing and others naturally didn't eat or sleep well, and Shen Yun didn't even dare to walk in front of me.

Two days later, I drank the last bowl of medicine that Zhuo Wenjing helped me to boil, and then got up to take a shower.In the dense fog, I squinted my eyes.

After finishing all this, I left Jiaotai Hall without saying a word, Zhuo Wenjing called me, I looked back at him, he pursed his lips, hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, you still have a dose of medicine that you haven't finished yet. , tonight I will send someone to send it over."

"No need." I said lightly: "Just wait, I'll come over to drink after I finish my work."

Zhuo Wenjing responded, then stood there looking at me, and I turned and left.

After leaving Jiaotai Hall, I went directly to the Imperial Study Room, and then summoned Zhuo Lun, Wang Xing, Zhong Rong, Minister of War Yun Ruofeng, and Xue Qing to enter the palace.

When a few people came, I was playing with the imperial fan and looked at them with a smile on my face.

After a few people saluted, I said lightly: "You are the pillars of my dynasty, get up."

"The ministers are afraid." Several people knelt there and did not dare to get up. I sneered and said, "Is there anything you dare to do? You dare not, and you dare too."

"The minister deserves death for his crimes."

"Don't be so damn dead, I can't bear it." I said in a strange way, and then changed the subject: "Grand Master, Dong Rui is your student, right?"

"Yes." Xue Qing raised his head and said, "This humble minister is incapable of studying, and I am ashamed of the emperor's grace. Please forgive me."

"Grand Master, you are really right. You are indeed incapable of studying. Do you know what your student said to me in the Ministry of Punishment? He said, at the foot of the emperor, in the Ministry of Punishment, he is the emperor... Grand Master, no You said that he was corrupt and violated the law and neglected human life, based on this sentence alone, what do you think of this matter?" I asked with a faint smile.

"If you speak out and seek rebellion, you will punish the nine clans." Xue Qing stood up and said coldly, with a serious expression and awe-inspiring righteousness.

I listened and nodded and said: "Okay, very good. Then let me ask you again, what is the crime for Lu Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Dong Rui to drink together in the lobby?"

"My minister is not strict, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Yun Ruofeng said before Xue Qing opened his mouth.

"Yun Aiqing, you are right again. You are not strict in governing. You are right. I saw Lu Aiqing in the Ministry of punishment. I still can't figure it out. Lu Zhong is a dignified servant of the Ministry of War. Let's go to work, why did you appear in the lobby of the Criminal Department? Could it be that the Military Department and the Criminal Department are closely related and always come and go?" I chuckled.

"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing, there is absolutely no such matter, please look into it clearly." Yun Ruofeng knocked his mouth on the ground and trembled all over.

I frowned and said: "That's enough, I don't blame you for anything, I think you can't do things like forming a party for personal gain... However, since Lu Zhong is your subordinate, then you come and tell me about this matter." How to deal with it?"

"Master Lu...no... Lu Zhongdang...dang...dang and...dang are guilty of the same crime as Master Dong." Yun Ruofeng stammered.

I snorted coldly, looked at Zhuo Lun again and said, "Zhuo Aiqing, I also have something to ask you, the prison guards of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have neglected their duties, the prisoners inside are free to come and go, and the first-rank officials are sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for money... What do you think is the situation? ? Wang Aiqing, can you hear about this matter?"

"I have never heard of it." Wang Xing knelt on the ground and said quietly: "However, if this is the case, it will be a big joke in the world."

"The great joke of the world, what a great joke of the world." I suddenly stood up, patted the imperial case, pointed at them and said angrily: "Then I will tell you today what is called the great joke of the world. It is because of Xue Shuang's incident." , once in a while to the Ministry of Punishment. Once in a while, I saw the funniest thing in the world. The majestic prime minister, who is the first rank in the court, needs to give the jailer money when he enters the cell. What’s more, if you don’t give it to others, you still say you don’t understand the rules. I would like to ask, who made the rules? Don’t talk about this, just say that you can enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice with money. Is this still my Ministry of Criminal Justice? Is it still the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Well, that’s all right, what is the most ridiculous thing, the prison boss, jailers and prisoners, don’t stay in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they stay in the Chunxiang loft in Hualiu Lane, and they live more comfortably than my harem Comfortable, and, just a small prison head, if you say something wrong, the prison head will wait for you to enter the cell to deal with you, and blatantly threatens me... Well, they are really right, I am a bumpkin. In the past, I have never seen the world, have you seen it? Have you seen it? Tell me."

"Wei Chen is frightened."

"Fear, what are you afraid of, what are you afraid of." I looked at a few people ridiculously and said: "I feel panic, I am ashamed of the golden plaque on the Golden Temple. The prison boss said it well, my The eyes are blind, and you have deceived the blind, don't tell me what to be afraid of, I have heard enough."

When I said this, the anger in my heart couldn't help rising up, suppressed and suppressed, and then said in a cold voice: "Declaration."

Yuan Bao hurriedly stood up, took out the imperial decree I had already written, and read it out: "By heaven's order, the emperor's decree said that Dong Rui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was found guilty of corruption, lawlessness, human life, and unforgivable crime. At noon, he beheaded his head to show the public, and ransacked his family. The men in the family were enslaved, the women were slaves, and their property was included in the treasury. Lu Zhong, the servant of the military department, was lawless and disrespectful. He was dismissed from his post as a servant of the military department. Family crimes can be forgiven, and descendants will never be allowed to serve as officials in the court. Prison chiefs, jailers, and others in the Ministry of Punishment disregard human life, there is no forgiveness for crimes, and there is no forgiveness for killing, I admire this."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Looking at the different appearances of several people, I sat down on the dragon chair with a sigh, and said, "Prime Minister Zhuo Lun, Grand Master Xue Qing, you two are the prime ministers of the court, you have no way to govern, and you are not strict in discipline. , It is extremely hateful, each of them will reduce their salaries for two years, other officials will have their salaries reduced for one year, and I will also reduce their salaries for one year. Zhuo Lun is acting as a substitute for the time being, and a decision will be made after the palace examination in the autumn... If we find out in the future which official knows the law and violated the law, the crime will be aggravated."

"Emperor Shengming..."

"Okay, I have said everything I should say, and you should have listened to it. The grand master stays, and everyone else goes." I looked at the few people and said calmly.

When several people got up to leave, I said again: "Wait."

Several people knelt down again in a hurry.I looked at several people and said, "That Xue Shuang, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I have to dig it out. This matter will be left to Wang Aiqing and Yun Aiqing to handle it, Zhuo Lun will be in charge of the case of Dong Rui and others, Zhong Rong I will obey your orders for the time being. That’s all for the matter of the Ministry of Punishment. Above the court, I don’t want to mention it again, and I don’t want to hear someone go to plead for mercy. If I hear it, I’ll be more guilty. Let’s all go down.”

Several people saluted and left.

After they left, I looked at Xue Qing who was kneeling on the ground, I was really angry in my heart, I took a breath and said coldly: "Teacher, you really taught me a good student, dare to point to my nose and shout at me Xiao Ming, your words are so frivolous, you have completely disgraced me."

"A humble official deserves death." Xue Qing knelt on the ground and said.

"Get up." I shook my sleeves and said indifferently: "Then Lu Zhongzhen knows that he is your relative, but he has also seen my embarrassment in the Ministry of Punishment. Don't blame me for being merciless. I can't leave any of the members of the Ministry of Punishment."

"I thank the emperor for your forgiveness." Xue Qing bowed again.

I looked at him and said silently: "Master, this matter is over, I don't want to say anything else, those who know about this matter, let them shut up what should be shut up." , you go back, if you have time, go comfort Concubine Ru, after all, you are cousins, don't let her take it to heart."

"My minister complies with the order." Xue Qing knelt down and bowed again.

Seeing that he was almost done, I waved him away. After he left, I sat on the dragon chair and rested my chin with my hands without speaking, while Yuan Bao stood there with his head bowed.

The reason why Xue Qing was left behind just now, and his words were so vague, I just wanted him to be conflicted. On the one hand, I felt that I was dissatisfied with their Xue family, and on the other hand, I felt that I didn't mean it that way, but this time I was so angry that I hated him. .

No matter what the situation is, the Xue family will have to be honest for a long time... And before the cat catches the mouse, it has to play well, so that those mice can't sleep and eat, and it's very comfortable to watch...

It's just that the queen mother may not be able to explain it. Thinking of this, I sighed...
