Chapter 1052

Xie Wenyao received the oral order from Jiang Xue, and immediately ordered people to investigate the matter, and soon found out that the person who sent people to stop women from all over the country from entering Beijing was sent by Tian Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Xie Wenyao immediately passed the matter to Tai In front of female Xiao Huang.

All the ministers in the court disapproved of Xiao Huang, the empress dowager, but everyone in the Xie family did not object. Firstly, Lu Jiao was a woman. If there was no such mother, how could they be so outstanding? The Xie family is beneficial, and they also know His Majesty's intentions in doing so, so how could they oppose the Empress Dowager's position.

Therefore, Xie Wenyao did not express anything in a high-profile manner, but in private, he was helping the princess, and the fact that His Majesty dared to openly put the princess on the throne was also because of the support of the Xie family. , there is also a general who guards the frontier, and the regent who is far away in Beiqi is also Xie Jiaerlang.

Although Beiqi Regent is far away in Beiqi, if they dare to openly confront His Majesty, it doesn't mean that he won't take action.

Because of all these, even though the ministers in the court did not agree with the establishment of the Crown Prince, they had to accept their fate in the end. Firstly, the Crown Prince's methods were bloody, and secondly, she had a huge backing, so they really couldn't do anything to her.

After Xiao Huang got the news, he immediately asked Zhao Heng from the Nine Dragons Division to investigate the affairs of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and finally found out that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Tian Yu, had actually bought and sold officials. The most important thing is that the minister Tian Yu is fine I just like meeting people in private.

The Ming Law of the Great Zhou stipulates that officials are not allowed to gather in private. He is blatantly ignoring the laws of the Great Zhou.

Xiao Huang sneered, and directly ordered the people of Jiulong Division to keep an eye on Tian Yu.

As for Tian Shilang, although he is a second-rank official, he is a little proud of his smooth sailing for so many years, so this time he took the initiative to go to Fang Cifu to take care of the matter. No, Tian Shilang was a little proud, and at night he summoned a few court officials to go to Jinfenglou to drink and listen to a little song.

A group of people were stopped in the private room by the people of Jiulong Division on the spot.

Xiao Huang walked in with a few maids, and looked at Tian Shilang with a sneer: "Master Tian is so powerful, you openly don't take the laws of the Great Zhou seriously, don't say you're alone, this is something that even His Majesty doesn't care about." Don't take it seriously."

Tian Shilang's complexion changed, and he kowtowed thumpingly. As soon as Xiao Huang opened his mouth, he knew that what he did before was found out by the empress dowager, and she stopped him because of what he did before.

The few incidents that happened in the court recently made Tian Shilang know that it is definitely not a good thing for the empress to keep an eye on. .

The princess is not a good stubble.

Tian Shilang was afraid, and begged with a pale face: "Your Majesty deserves to die. Please forgive me. I am guilty. I ask Your Majesty to let me atone for my crime. I will take people to invite those returning women back later." .”

Xiao Huang didn't give Tian Shilang such an opportunity at all, she said in a deep voice: "Bold and rebellious minister, dare to gather the party for personal gain, are you trying to openly oppose Da Zhou? Come on, let Tian Shilang and the others have ulterior motives All the courtiers were arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

The several officials behind Tian Shilang all changed their faces, and kowtowed: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me."

Xiao Huang didn't give them a chance at all, looked at Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng immediately took orders to arrest these people and send them to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Houtai impeached Tian Shilang and the various crimes committed by the Tian family. In addition to the crimes committed by Tian Shilang, several adults who gathered with him yesterday were also impeached by Tian Shilang. It's not too heavy, but it's a breeze to lose an official and bully.

Xiao Wenyu knew in advance that Tian Shilang ordered people to stop those women who were going to Beijing for assessment, so it was Huang'er who acted.

He was already angry at the behavior of Tian Shilang and others, and when he heard about all the wrong things committed by the Tian family, he was furious and ordered Xie Wenyao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to say: "Everyone will be dealt with according to the law, and no mercy will be given."

In the main hall, Wang Shoufu looked at Fang Cifu with pity. Recently, because of his inaction, many people in the hall ran to Wang Cifu's door.

Wang Shoufu said coldly, if you have the ability to continue, I will watch you die silently.

Fang Cifu's brow was covered with cold sweat, but he still stood up to find excuses for Tian Shilang and other officials, otherwise, would his subordinates still approach him?

Fang Cifu stood up and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the veteran feels that this matter should be dealt with lightly. Too many officials are involved in this matter. If so many people are sent away at once, many official positions will be vacated in the court. I am afraid it will be difficult to arrange for a while."

Xiao Wenyu didn't speak, Xiao Huang paced out, looked at Fang Cifu with a sneer, and said, "Maybe Fang is too old to have a bad memory. Before that, Gu Mingming issued a verbal order to build a Hongwen library to let young women from all over the world come to Beijing to participate in the assessment." , Now that there are so many vacant seats in Beijing, if those women are useful, they can try to use them."

Not only Fang Cifu was shocked, but even Wang Shoufu was shocked.

They thought that the Empress Dowager used those women at most to give them some second-class positions, but who knew that she actually planned to give up important positions in the court to those women. Isn't this nonsense?

Although Wang Shoufu was anxious, he didn't move.

Fang Cifu knelt down with a plop: "Your Highness, absolutely not."

Xiao Huang looked at Fang Cifu condescendingly: "Why not, in fact, I should thank Tian Shilang for this matter. If they didn't do this, I would never have thought of letting those women enter the court. But now there are so many vacancies. The position is not impossible."

Sweat dripped down Fang Cifu's face, he did something bad with good intentions.

Many people behind him frowned at him.

Fang Cifu said in a mournful voice: "His Royal Highness, so many courtiers in our palace have gone through so many trials and tribulations to get to where we are today. We all came step by step. Those women who entered the capital for assessment, No matter how talented and capable you are, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, please think twice, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."

In fact, Xiao Huang really didn't plan to place those women in important positions, it's not that she didn't place them, but it's not the time right now, anyone has to go through polishing before they can get to the right position, she gave those women a chance, but only gave them It's a chance for them to hone, whether they can be promoted in the future depends on each of them's ability.

The reason why Xiao Huang said this was just to scare Fang Cifu.

While thinking, Xiao Huang looked at Fang Cifu scornfully and said: "Don't talk about the position of the servant, maybe one day I will have a female chief assistant in Dazhou, and there are things that I have decided to do, no one It can be stopped, if someone is not afraid of death, you can try."
