Chapter 588 It Was Really Contradictory

Ji Qin knew the meaning of the song when he heard it. Su Mianyue specifically mentioned the Ministry of Personnel's letter of worship to make an example of others, "Back to the empress, according to the law, the Ministry of Personnel has issued a letter in contempt of the will and should be sentenced to death. All nine clans can be sent to prison, and the officials of the Ministry of Personnel must be sentenced to death in order to respect the power of our court. The crime can be implicated in the whole family."

Ji Qin spoke with all his might. This was not an exaggeration, but it was a punishment for those officials who did not respect the holy will. Although Su Mianyue was the ruler of the country, he was certainly not the emperor, but he could be lenient.

But now that it was time for Su Mianyue to stand up, Ji Qin could only use this as a reference.

Ji Qin's words made the Ministry of Personnel shangshu kneel, as if he had lost his soul.

Although the other officials couldn't bear it, no one came forward to plead for him. Not to mention that Su Mianyue hadn't made a decision yet, they didn't have the courage to plead just because they were all tied up in pigtails.

Ministry of Personnel shangshu obviously thought of this too, so he did not make any fearless struggle.

Su Mianyue did not like to be too murderous, especially when the nine clans were involved and too many innocent people were sacrificed, but now she was forced to be ruthless by these restless officials.

However, before Su Mianyue spoke, the Ministry of Personnel minister suddenly burst into a wild laugh and pointed in Su Mianyue's direction and shouted recklessly, "Even the son of heaven is still a woman. Didn't the empress really think she could order all the civil and military officials to obey you? Female chicken sichen, you are the woman who will destroy the great fortune of my Yan Country! How can the thousands of men of the Yan Country succumb to lust? Even if I die, I will die well, and I will never let a woman like you decide whether to live or die!"

Ministry of Personnel shangshu shouted and stood up to hit the pillar. This sudden action stunned many people. Even if Ji Qin wanted to stop them, it would be too late for them to stay away.

With a thud, Su Mianyue slapped the table, pulled down the curtain with one hand, and a dozen or so beads shot in the direction of the Ministry of Personnel book. The internal force of the force caused many courtiers to be blown down, which made everyone think that Su Mianyue was born from a river and lake, and it was easy to kill these people.

I saw the Ministry of Personnel books ah screamed, dark court uniform can not see blood, but the whole person lying on the ground did not even have the strength to get up, it can be seen how badly injured.

The most important thing was that Su Mianyue had shot out so many beads, except for one that was embedded in the pillar, none of them could be seen. It was not necessary to guess that they were in the body of a Ministry of Personnel book.

Without the bead curtains separating them, the fearful officials looked up at Su Mianyue, who was standing on a high seat with a cold face.

She was not wearing a phoenix robe and was dressed in a simple and elegant dress. Only a phoenix hairpin on her head represented her status. No matter how far away she was, she could see Su Mianyue's beauty and the cold air emanating from her body.

"Very well, my favorite person in this palace is someone who has the courage to speak out. It's a pity that the Ministry of Personnel does not do the imperial history. Otherwise, this ability to reverse the black and white will make the court no longer have a good official to stay in."

Su Mianyue's eyes were piercing in the direction of the Ministry of Personnel's letter, and his red lips gently said, "The decree is that the letter of the Ministry of Personnel does not respect the will and wantonly humiliates the royal family. The crime should be punished, and immediately dragged out of the palace door to be put to death. The officials will be sentenced."

It was not a mistake for the Ministry of Personnel minister to be executed at a slow pace, not to mention he was punished for several crimes.

After thinking about it for a while, the right-hand man came out and asked, "Empress, the case of the Ministry of Personnel book, can it be tried again?"

Su Mianyue frowned as he asked if the nine clans were guilty of the same crime, "He shall bear the crime of the Ministry of Personnel's letter of worship alone and immediately flush the zhang family into the treasury. The entire zhang family, regardless of whether men or women have criminal records, is to be dealt with in accordance with the law, and the rest are sold as government slaves. They are not allowed to redeem themselves in the third life, to participate in the imperial examination within ten generations, and will not be pardoned."

Su Mianyue's decree seemed cruel, but in fact, it gave the zhang family a chance to survive, at least not involving a human life.

Glancing at the other Ministry of Personnel officials, Su Mianyue's eyes once again cooled and he said coldly: "All the officials of the Ministry of Personnel knew that their superiors had violated national laws without stopping them, let alone the court. The officials of the fourth grade or above were beheaded, and the officials of the fifth grade or above were cut at two levels. The others who participated in the resistance against imperial decrees were punished with 100 taels of silver. If there were any more mistakes, they would be dismissed and investigated."

After a pause, Su Mianyue saw that many courtiers were relieved. He continued, "In addition, the family members of the officials above the fourth grade of the Ministry of Personnel are all distributed to the border. They are not allowed to return to Capital City forever, and their descendants are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination within three generations. In the future, there will be any more officials who disobey the law, and this punishment is the lowest standard."

With that said, Su Mianyue brushed his sleeves and left. Jixiang hurriedly called for a retreat and immediately cried in the hall. The Ministry of Personnel officials who had worked so hard to reach the fourth grade all hated the books of the Ministry of Personnel.

When the other five officials saw this, they quickly left with their heads lowered, not daring to look at the despairing expressions of the other officials.

The Imperial Guard quickly came in to pick up the people, but the officials of the ministry of justice were not allowed to stay and sit down.

The right and Ji Qin walked out side by side. They talked in a low voice and only heard the right sigh, "The empress is kind. Otherwise, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel would probably not be left. Not to mention the nine clans involved, they would have to cut through the whole family."

Was Su Mianyue merciful?

Ji Qin raised an eyebrow and immediately thought that Su Mianyue was a woman who could kill a bloody path in the army. Such a person was ruthless in nature, but did not want to hurt the innocent. It was really a contradiction.

"What the right hand says is very true." Ji Qin nodded in unison and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to see the punishment later, you should think about how to deal with the aftermath. The empress is willing to leave a way for the families of those officials, but no one will buy it. I'm afraid this will have a certain impact on the court."

Hearing this, the right-hand man frowned. He didn't expect this, but now he was the leader of all the officials, and he had to deal with these things properly. He knew more about Su Mianyue than any other official.

"Well, these people won't die if they don't do it. They've done it all, but with so many less officials in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, it's going to be a mess for a while." Shaking his head on the right, he looked at the Imperial Guard dragging the books of the Imperial Guard, which had passed out, but there was a trail of blood on the ground. Death was the only relief for him, but it was also the most desirable hope.

Su Mianyue would no longer care about these officials. She did not like to kill people, but she did not like to be fooled. Since she was in this position, many things were involuntary.

When they returned to Pepper House, they first looked at Ji Xingran. The child over half a year old could already turn over and play happily in the crib.

After teasing her son for a while, Su Mianyue sat down on the soft couch to deal with official business. In order to spend more time with her son, she could only choose this method.

"Empress, the little miracle doctor wants to see you." Eunuch Qing slipped into the room and reported to su mianyue.

"Well, let him in." Su Mianyue's face finally brightened up.

Shen Yi had not been in Yan Capital for a long time, but his reputation had already become famous. No one did not know that he was a good friend of the empress, and even more knew that the doctor with medical skills only liked to treat difficult and complicated diseases. As for ordinary diseases, it was more difficult to ask him to treat them than to pick stars.
