Chapter 587 What Do You Think?

The hall was eerily silent after Su Mianyue's question.

Some lowered their heads in fear of being called out, others stuck their necks in silence to show that they were telling the truth, and some hung up on their own.

There were only a few who hesitated to speak, looking as if they didn't want the matter to continue, but they didn't make a sound.

Although Su Mianyue was always in a difficult position at the recent court meetings, even the people who received her orders in the court did not work efficiently. This was also when everyone was watching Su Mianyue's ability.

After glancing around indifferently, Su Mianyue pointed to the Ministry of Personnel book and asked: "When I said there was a shortage of people in all the ministries, the voice of the Ministry of Rites minister was the loudest, but now you can speak on behalf of everyone, so that the palace can know how many people there are in the six ministries, especially since the palace has not issued a few orders after presided over the government, how can the officials of the six ministries be so busy that they can't perform their duties?"

Su Mianyue's voice was still very soft and pleasant, but Jixiang and Eunuch Qing, who were standing around Su Mianyue, glanced at him and then lowered their heads.

After serving this master for so long, they knew a thing or two about Su Mianyue's temperament and knew that someone was going to be unlucky today, but they would not be foolish to remind anyone, or it would be them who were unlucky.

The Ministry of Rites minister who was named had to make a list of replies. He exchanged glances with the other ministers before he came out, but in his heart, he was at war with heaven and man.

In fact, these books were all gambling, gambling that su mianyue was a woman with no decisive courage, and she dared not make fun of jiang shan. After all, Su Mianyue was only acting as a temporary court official. Once she dealt with things in an extreme way, Ji Xun might have scruples, which would affect the feelings of the empress dowager.

The officials promoted from various ministries were their students and had nothing to do with the tian family.

If they win, the power in their hands will be greater. In the future, Ji Xun will easily return to the court and not touch them at all. At that time, as long as they put the responsibility on Su Mianyue, only Su Mianyue will suffer.

But since it was a gamble, there was also the possibility of losing. If you lose, you will lose your life.

Su Mianyue did not rush, but waited for the Ministry of Personnel to open its books.

Seeing that his expression had changed so quickly and the smile on his lips had become a little sarcastic, it seemed that the six parts were not merged, so that she could do it easily.

"Back to the empress, the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the world's officials, and there are a lot of officials that need to be replaced. Even the turmoil caused by the change of imperial power in the capital has damaged a large number of officials. Many officials need to be responsible for a few errands. In the long run, it will be difficult for them to do their best to serve the country because of tiredness. So I asked the empress for permission." Ministry of Personnel shangshu pondered over and over again, but still gritted his teeth firmly.

Su Mianyue smiled and said three good words in a row, "So, if this palace is not allowed to play, it will become a banshee that will bring disaster to the country and the people. After that, it will be a sinner of the Yan Country. Is that what the Yan Country book means?"

"I'm afraid." The Ministry of Personnel minister quickly kneeled and pleaded, "I didn't mean to, and the emperor also proposed to add officials in the middle of the court, so I will make a proposal."

Ji Xun was used to suppress Su Mianyue, and the Ministry of Personnel secretary was even more ruthless.

At this time, if Su Mianyue said that she had always known about the past dynasty was evil, then it really fulfilled the name of the demon queen.

But if he did not say a word, he could only be led by his nose. How could Su Mianyue let everyone get what they wanted?

Her fair fingertips tapped on the armrest. Although she was acting as a supervisor, she was not really the emperor, so she sat on the phoenix couch, and the table was placed a little distance away from the imperial court to show her respect for the emperor.

Through the curtain of pearls, Su Mianyue could see the various states of the officials, but the officials could not see Su Mianyue's appearance, let alone his expression.

However, the crisp tapping made many people's hearts beat. Such a rhythmic melody told them that su mianyue was a success. Ministry of Personnel shangshu was even more shocked. Her back was already soaked unconsciously, and she almost said that what she said was a joke.

However, after receiving the gaze of his colleagues, the Ministry of Personnel secretary saluted again, "Please also ask the empress to show her sympathy to her subordinates. Caienke will recruit new officials and make up for the missing officials for the six ministries."

After the Ministry of Personnel shangshu finished saying this, she did not hear any voices in the hall for a long time, and her heart was even more flustered. It was not because of Su Mianyue's silence, but because those colleagues who had agreed to advance and retreat together did not make a sound. This was to test him.

No matter how much Ministry of Personnel shangshu hated her, she could only persevere to the end.

Su Mianyue cast a mocking glance at the silent officials and gave Jixiang a look.

Jixiang strode forward a few steps, opened a booklet and read aloud: "On the tenth day of april, the empress had ordered Ministry of Personnel officials to adjust their official files. After the next court, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the waiter took all the officials to the piaoyang building to drink and go whoring with prostitutes until the end of xu. The next day, all the officials... On the 16th of april..."

Jixiang's voice was loud and he was reading about some chores, but these words made the back of the Ministry of Personnel minister kneeling on the ground bend down, and the cold sweat on his face fell to the ground.

The Yan Country did not prohibit officials from prostitution, but as a minister, he brought a group of officials to prostitution during his time on duty, and did not do the court's business openly and insidiously, and this kind of thing more than once, this was simply the rhythm of his own death.

After Jixiang finished reading, he bowed to Su Mianyue and asked, "Empress, how many other books do you want to read together?"

Jixiang's voice was loud and sharp, but this short sentence made many people sweat, almost begging for forgiveness on their knees.

Su Mianyue was silent for a while before opening his mouth, but he asked the courtier, "Do you think this palace should let Jixiang continue to read?"

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were ashen, and the officials of the other five ministries were no better. Immediately, someone fell to the ground in fear.

Su Mianyue said indifferently, "Since you are not in good health, then go back to the house to rest. Next time, resign and go home."

The official quickly knelt and kowtowed as if he had been granted an amnesty and staggered out of the hall.

The people of the five ministries were also relieved by Su Mianyue's words, and immediately understood that Su Mianyue didn't want to end it all at once. Otherwise, even if he couldn't kill all of them, a few of them would be unlucky.

Everyone lowered their heads and secretly looked at the Ministry of Personnel's books. Although the way they used was different from that of the Ministry of Personnel, it was true that they delayed yizhi and did not do anything. Now that Su Mianyue was willing to give them a way out, no one would be stupid not to fight for the chance to perform.

Ministry of Rites shangshu rushed out and pointed at the books of the Ministry of Rites, "Mr. Zhang, you and I have been officials of the same dynasty for dozens of years. How can you do such a ridiculous thing? You are simply... Oh, how can Mr. Zhang do such a shameful thing?"

Ministry of Rites books have always been known for their gentleness, so it is impossible to say nasty things in public, just to show an attitude.

As for him, he sighed and closed his eyes, but he was just guilty of not daring to read the Ministry of Personnel book.

Then a few more ministers came forward to denounce the Ministry of Rites, but no one mentioned whether they should be convicted or not.

Seeing that these officials wanted to be nice to her, but they wanted to leave room, Su Mianyue sneered at them and watched them play. When no one knew what else to say, he said to Ji Qin: "King of Yongan, when the emperor left, he once told this palace that there were places in the government that did not know how to rely on the king of Yongan. I wonder how the king of Yongan felt that the Ministry of Personnel minister and the officials of the Ministry of Rites should be dealt with properly."
