Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 277 The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Envoy Fan Xian from the Kingdom of Qing pays his respects to you!

"Your Majesty is here!"

The eunuch's duck-voiced voice sounded, and the ministers hurriedly retreated to where they were standing.

After Zhan Doudou entered the Qinzheng Hall, he immediately knelt on the ground in an orderly manner and said respectfully: "Your Majesty!"

For a moment, there were only three people left in the entire hall who did not kneel down.

The Left Prime Minister Shang Yang, the Right Prime Minister Wang Xu standing in front of the civil officials, and Uesugi Tora who was resting with his eyes closed in front of the military generals!

Logically speaking, even if they were in high positions and had been granted titles that required no bowing, they should still bow and salute to show their respect to the emperor!

But things are different now. As close ministers of Chen Luo's faction, they are very dissatisfied with the battle against Doudou!

Being able to come to court is considered an honor!
Just like Zhuang Mohan, those who neither stand on either side nor come to court are ultimately a minority!
After all, they all have things to deal with!

Zhan Doudou looked at the ministers below with a cold face. After waiting for a while, he said, "Get up!"

She thought about it all night last night and understood what Haitang Duoduo said at the end, and also figured out Chen Luo's purpose!
Was this game really set up just to see through the hidden dissatisfaction deep in her heart?

Maybe, but the purpose can’t be that simple!
It was as if she knew that Chen Luo still wanted to use this game to clear some obstacles for the reform!
After a night of hard thinking, she finally understood!
Chen Luo is testing her!
I want to see her progress and see if she has the ability to grasp power!
Rights are something that cannot be seen or touched!

But it really exists and it is so heavy!

The greater the power, the greater the weight!

Because gaining rights also means gaining responsibilities!
The greater the power, the greater and heavier the responsibility!
Especially the imperial power!
Controlling the imperial power does not just mean controlling a dynasty!
What is more important is what imperial power represents!
Rights are just one of them!

What imperial power truly represents is the people and the survival of this dynasty!
Only when the dynasty exists and the people are stable can the imperial power exist!
If the dynasty collapses or the people rebel, then the imperial power will be meaningless!
Chen Luo wants to see if she can shoulder the weight of this country!
"Your Majesty, I, Li Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, have a report to make. I report that the Jinyiwei are arrogant and domineering, oppressing the people, causing them to complain!"

"Your servant, Liu Xian from the Ministry of Rites, also reports to the Imperial Guard!"

"I, the Minister of Personnel..."

As soon as he stood up, ministers began to submit memorials.

With one minister taking the lead, dozens of ministers followed suit and wrote letters to the emperor.

The content and objectives are the same!
Queen Chen Luo’s confidant, the Imperial Guard!
Although this approach is a bit risky, there are so many benefits to cutting off the Jinyiwei!
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Luo’s left and right arms have been cut off!

As long as the benefits are big enough, it doesn’t hurt to take some risks!

After hearing the ministers' advice, Shang Yang and Wang Xu looked at each other, then closed their eyes tacitly without any reaction.

Uesugi Tora glared at these people, and when he was about to say something, he heard Zhan Doudou cough lightly.

"I will investigate the matter you have reported. If it is true, I will punish you. If it is not true, please do not blame me!"

"Let's leave it at that for now!"

"The Qing Kingdom delegation is still in Kyoto, right? If so, let them come to see me!"

The Jinyiwei is a butcher's knife, an eye, and a weapon to intimidate these ministers!
Don’t say that she didn’t have a falling out with Chen Luo, she was just playing a game of chess with Chen Luo!

Even if she really had a falling out with Chen Luo, she would never touch the Imperial Guards!
The existence of Jinyiwei is too important!
Special permission from the emperor, execute first and report later!
With the Jinyiwei around, these ministers can’t cause much trouble!
"His Majesty···"

There was another minister who wanted to say something anxiously, but he was met with Zhan Doudou's cold eyes.

In just a moment, the bone-chilling cold and invisible power made his body chill.

The words on the tip of my tongue could no longer come out! Finally, I could only lower my head and say no more!

But the shock in my heart did not diminish at all!

They may have underestimated Zhan Doudou!

With such majesty, how can he be easily influenced?
I’m afraid that after helping Zhan Doudou seize power, they will no longer be able to control the situation!

Thinking of this, his heart sank again, but his hands loosened weakly.

At this point, they have no choice!
The arrow is on the string and must be fired!

"Your Majesty, the Qing Kingdom envoys are still at the post station. I have sent someone to pass on the message!"

Shang Yang was talking, but his posture did not change. He still kept his hands clasped in his sleeves, closed his eyes and rested. His tone was neither salty nor bland, and no major fluctuations could be heard.

This attitude clearly shows dissatisfaction with Zhan Doudou, or rather, dissatisfaction with those ministers who participated in the Jinyiwei.

But now no minister dared to offend him!

This is Shang Yang, the Left Prime Minister of Northern Qi!

It’s not that there were people who wanted to target Shang Yang before, but later all those people were finished!
The graves of the entire family are lined up in a row!

The reasons for their execution are indefensible, and even the people despise these people!

Shang Yang's ruthless methods made them once again witness what cruelty is!

It reminded them of Shang Yang’s remarks in the Qinzheng Hall!
It also made them understand that Shang Yang's abilities and means extinguished any thoughts of targeting him!
As for Wang Xu... Shang Yang was so powerful but he was only the left prime minister. How could Wang Xu, a right prime minister, be weaker than Shang Yang?

"Well, thank you for your concern, Minister Shang!"

Zhan Doudou smiled at Shang Yang, but got no response.

This made her feel helpless, and she realized that Shang Yang was dissatisfied with her!

But she had no choice, this matter was not something she could control!

It was obviously Chen Luo who was setting the plan. She said she was the chess player, but in fact she was just a large chess piece!

But thinking about this matter, she finally had thoughts that she shouldn't have, otherwise Chen Luo would not have set up this game. The grievance in her heart dissipated a lot!
Seeing that Zhan Doudou was not angry because of Shang Yang's attitude, the ministers became even more convinced that they must not offend Shang Yang!
No one dared to jump out and accuse Shang Yang of being unreasonable!
For a moment, the huge Qinzheng Hall fell into silence!

No minister spoke, and no one dared to make any small movements. They all lowered their heads and waited obediently!
After waiting for two incense sticks, hurried footsteps and a hoarse voice reporting were heard outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Qing Kingdom, Fan Xian has arrived outside the palace!"

Zhan Doudou didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "Let him in!"

Except for the first day when Chen Luo did not attend the court, he summoned the envoy from Qing Kingdom, and he has not been summoned again for more than half a month!
It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that she doesn’t care about this matter!
Why bother to care about the envoys from the Kingdom of Qing when you can’t even coax your sweet and soft baby?
Besides, she didn't know what Chen Luo was thinking, and couldn't make up her mind, so she didn't summon him!
During this period, envoys from the Kingdom of Qing also requested to meet her twice, but were rejected both times with various reasons!

After that, no envoy from Qing Kingdom asked for an audience again!

"The leader of the Qing Kingdom delegation, Fan Xian, pays respect to His Majesty the Northern Qi Emperor!"

"May our Qing Kingdom and Northern Qi be in harmony forever, and may the country be peaceful and the people be safe!"

Fan Xian, who had just entered the hall, bowed slightly and said a few polite greetings.
