When am I normal

All the ministers bowed their heads respectfully, no one dared to raise their heads since Ji Yao hadn't pointed at anyone, so no one noticed Wu Shen who had been sitting on the left all the time.After all, in the early dynasties, Wu Shen always stood at the front of His Royal Highness, and never sat down to rest with them. The seat in front of the palace was empty, and they thought that Wu Shen was ordered by the emperor not to come because of the recent gossip. morning.

Until Ji Yao personally said in a calm voice, "If you have the book, you will play it, if you don't have the book... then listen to me for a few more words."

The ministers were almost ready to kneel and then retreated out of habit. After hearing Ji Yao's second sentence, they quickly stabilized their legs and feet in place, and all pricked up their ears to hear that the little emperor was going to straighten out again. What a moth.

"I, I want to register again."

The ministers were surprised at first, then smiled and nodded in understanding.The recent rumors about Wu Shen are really ugly. She is no longer suitable to be the empress of Nanling. They think that the emperor will abolish Wu Shen and choose a better person to be the queen.Unexpectedly, Ji Yao got off the dragon chair, walked down the hall, grabbed Wu Shen on the left, and said to them, "She is the new empress."

The ministers raised their heads, all startled, and began to chatter in low voices.

"This... Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, I beg your Majesty to think twice!" An old courtier with white hair and white beard took a step forward, bowed his waist to Ji Yao and said.

Ji Yao raised his voice, "What's wrong?"

The minister held the long white beard in his hand, and frowned, "Your Majesty, the virtuous king was originally a deposed empress. Recently, there have been many reports in the capital that... claiming that she was acting inappropriately because of the emperor's sole favor." , taking bribes, and trying to rebel!"

"I will definitely pull out your long beard! Let you be disrespectful and talk nonsense!" Ji Yao felt her sleeve being pulled by Wu Shen, but she completely ignored Wu Shen's reaction. What to do, I don't want to be influenced by Wu Shen's opinion.She walked to the front of the palace and pointed at the courtiers, "You are still important ministers of the court, but you are all blind!" She embraced Wu Shen and hugged her chest, "Before these inexplicable rumors appeared, Shanwei was the court's chief minister." How many things have you done? You can count them all! Just because of some rumors that were fabricated from nowhere, you all became crazy and wanted to join her?!"

"But your majesty..."

The old courtier wanted to say more, but Ji Yao waved his hand and stopped his mouth, "In the end, it's all rumors, where did you get the evidence to prove that it's true? Corruption and bribery? Huh! What kind of dirty things do you get? What kind of things do you get? Bribe?" Ji Yao frowned, with a majestic expression, "If you have the ability, you will list them one by one!"

"Your Majesty!" A young woman stood up, "Your Majesty! Don't indulge in obscenity. Women's lust makes you lose your mind to distinguish right from wrong!"

"Shut up!" Ji Yao yelled angrily, "Soaking, lewd, womanizing? Bah! Thank you for being able to say it! Shen'er hasn't allowed me to touch it yet..." Wu Shen slapped her mouth Cover up.After being stared at by Wu Shen several times, she cleared her throat, pulled Wu Shen's hand away, and yelled at the minister again, "Hmph! I have a few books about your night tour of the water chestnut, and because of male prostitutes The National People's Congress made a deal, you said, what should I do?"

The courtier panicked and retreated trembling.Ji Yao sneered, Yu's family has strict upbringing, and the family law is quite strict. The first two sons and daughters are quite promising, but I don't know why they raised a youngest daughter who doesn't like to abide by etiquette. Go to a dubious place to find Xiaowan.As soon as the news came out, I still don't know how old man Yu will take care of his youngest daughter.

Ji Yao narrowed his eyes, "Who else has any objections?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Wise King has accepted bribes, and there is no evidence. But regarding another matter, I have someone to prove it." In an inconspicuous corner, a man took a step forward.

Wu Shen raised his eyes and recognized him as the son of Mr. Feng, the Minister of Rites, and one of the people who came to greet her when she returned to Beijing.

"Who are you?" Ji Yao seemed to have no impression of him.

The man lifted his robe and knelt down, "Return to the emperor, this minister is the son of Feng Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Feng Qinghe, the secretary of the Ministry of Accounting and Cangbu."

Ji Yao's suspicious expression deepened, "Tsk, where do you think this is? Why, I have already planned to trip Shen'er here? Even the witnesses are ready."

He raised his head slightly, expressionless, "Please ask your majesty Yunchen to bring someone into the hall with your certificate."

Ji Yao looked sideways at Wu Shen who looked nervous, and felt a little strange in his heart, "Sure."

After a while, the guards outside the hall carried an old man into the hall.The old man has a stooped figure and looks young, but his hair is half gray. Although his clothes are not luxurious, fortunately they are still neat and clean, but the temperament he exudes from his body still feels incompatible with the noble people in the entire hall. .

Ji Yao frowned, and took a step back unconsciously, "Who are you, and you are here again...to prove something!"

"Back to the emperor, the villain is... the tortoise from Yinggelou, no, not now, but... in the past." He knelt on the ground, stammering and slurring his words.

Ji Yao barely understood, but her mind was still confused, "...Yingge Tower?" It didn't sound like a good place, "Gui Gong? A brothel?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Ji Yao yelled at Feng Qinghe, "You! Bring some dubious people into the palace!"

Feng Qinghe had a serious face, "Your Majesty, this person is an important witness, and he is definitely a dubious person."

"What is the evidence!" Ji Yao felt a weight on her right hand as soon as she finished speaking, and Wu Shen, who was just standing beside her, now buried his head on her shoulder, and retracted his whole body into her arms, "Shen... .....Shen'er?" She was pleasantly surprised and at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or to be shy, Wu Shen was rarely so close to her, but this time it was actually in front of the courtiers.

Wu Shen raised his head and shook his head at her, his eyes were red, "Your Majesty...don't."

Ji Yao's heart softened.Wrapping Wu Shen's waist tightly with her right hand, she whispered in her ear, "Shen'er is not afraid, I will definitely protect you." She cleared her throat with a cough, and turned to look at Feng Qinghe's upright and solemn face , turned to look down at the old tortoise, and asked again, "What is the evidence?"

"Back, back to the emperor, villain..."

Seeing that Ji Yao couldn't bear the stammering way of the old turtle, Feng Qinghe said, "Your Majesty, this person is the former big turtle of Yingge Building. Twenty years ago, she was the most famous girl in the building at that time." Song's."

Ji Yao felt that Wu Shen's hand gripping the fabric of her chest was tighter, and he frowned to suppress his doubts about who Geer was, waved his hands and said, "Continue."

"Ge'er is young and beautiful, and Qu'er sings very well. She used to be famous all over the capital. Many princes and grandchildren in the city fought for her, and even... killed her." Feng Qinghe's He glanced at Wu Shen from the corner of his eye, "Mr. Wu's only son died in Yingge Tower in response to her."

Ji Yao understood everything in his heart.

She gently caressed Wu Shen's back with her hand, but her face was indifferent, "So what. It's been 20 years, and the past has passed. What's the point of mentioning it? What does this prove?"

"He acted as a cover for Ge'er's birth in the building. All the past events are clear. He can prove that His Royal Highness Xianwang was born by a brothel girl. Your Majesty, Xianwang was born in a despicable way, so he must not become the emperor's new queen."

The veins on Ji Yao's forehead popped up, and he tried to suppress his voice and said, "Feng Qinghe! You are so brave! How dare you check on my queen!"

"Your Majesty, she is not your queen." Feng Qinghe's face and tone were calm, unmoved by Ji Yao's anger.

"I said yes, she is." Ji Yao's voice trembled with anger, "I just want to marry her, no matter if she is from a brothel or a beggar!" She suddenly snorted coldly, "Feng Qinghe, do you really think I don't know you?"

Feng Qinghe rolled his eyes, looked directly at Ji Yao, and his face finally responded slightly.

"Feng Qinghe, what's the matter? You can't give gifts, and you want to falsely accuse others of taking bribes in a blink of an eye?" Seeing that Feng Qinghe's expression became a little nervous, Ji Yao relaxed, "A few days ago, the Shanwei office returned to Beijing and greeted him outside the city gate. Are you among the crowd?" The flesh on Feng Qinghe's face trembled, and when Ji Yao saw this, he snorted twice, "Amon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a tall eunuch came out from the side of the inner hall, holding a scroll in both hands, came to Ji Yao, knelt and presented the scroll to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao held the handle of the scroll with one hand, and opened the cloth scroll with the other, "Did you all welcome that day empty-handed?" Her tone was teasing at first, and then she became dignified, "This is all the people who were present that day. The list of courtiers!" She glanced coldly at the crowd of courtiers, many of whom were sweating behind their backs when they heard her words, and bowed their heads guiltyly, "If you think I'm not there, you don't know anything Is it?"

Amon read out the names written on the scroll one by one, and looked at the people who were trembling with fright after being read the names one by one, Ji Yao grinned, these grandchildren, she had been busy for a few days, finally it was reasonable I made it clear that I have caught them.

"Everyone on this list will be demoted to three ranks tomorrow, and their salaries will be halved!" Ji Yao paused, looking at Feng Qinghe who was still standing upright in the center of the hall, "Feng Qinghe, demote officials and concubines!" Flicking his sleeves and pulling Wu Shen to walk, Eunuch Xia hurriedly shouted "Back to court!" and followed Ji Yao out of Qiankun Palace.

Amon put away the scroll and proudly followed behind Ji Yao, "Your Majesty, what is our name?"

Ji Yao also laughed, "This is called cleaning up the house!" Wu Shen's slap in Ronghao Villa was not ineffective. After returning to Beijing, Ji Yao started to clean up some mouse feces in the court, starting with Jian Xing sneaking into the palace, She felt something was wrong.Who the hell is Min Shuqing, who has such a powerful method to insert people in her palace.She didn't know about Min Shuqing at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she just feels that her every move is being framed by others, and there is a chill behind her.
