Super Smuggling System

In the Tianqi Dynasty controlled by Wei Zhongxian, there were places where officials could take refuge in bribery, but in the Chongzhen Dynasty controlled by Li Mu, the officials in the world seemed to be living in dire straits.

Every day there are officials arrested by the inspection team. Of course, the Ministry of Officials also arranges for new officials to take office every day. This also makes the Chongzhen Dynasty only in its early years, and there is a phenomenon that there are not enough officials.

These were the thoughts of the temple officials when they saw Li Mu, but not the feelings of Zhang Yan sitting on the Danbifeng chair.

Although the phoenix chair was a little far from the palace gate, when Li Mu appeared in front of the palace gate, Zhang Yan recognized that figure at a glance, it was so familiar.

During the nine months of parting, Zhang Yan dreamed of it almost every night and never forgot it.

When all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Li Mu, Zhang Yan couldn't help standing up, trying to rush down Danbi, but was stopped by Wei Zhongxian beside him.

Seeing Zhang Yan's confused face when he was stopped, Wei Zhongxian explained softly: "The Queen Mother's place is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are still there. This old slave thinks it is really inappropriate to go forward at this time."

Although Li Mu disappeared for nine months, Wei Zhongxian has always been loyal, doing his duty as an old slave, and taking good care of the Empress Dowager Yi'an who has the title of mistress.

Seeing Zhang Yan standing up from the phoenix chair, it seemed that she was going to get off the Dan Bi to find the master Li Mu. As a loyal old slave, Wei Zhongxian knew how to avoid trouble for the master.

In this way, he stepped forward to stop Zhang Yan and told him that it was not the time yet, at least until the Manchao Wenwu left.

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's explanation, Zhang Yan finally realized that this place is in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it is in the midst of going to court, and the temple is full of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.

If Dan Bi was impulsively ordered, the consequences would be unimaginable, not only would she harm herself, but it would also cause trouble for her lover below.

As a woman who understands right and wrong, Zhang Yan knows when to hold back her emotions, not to mention that she is now the queen mother of a country, and she can't vent her feelings in public, especially in front of civil and military officials.

Nodding to Wei Zhongxian to express her understanding, Zhang Yan glanced at Li Mu who was entering the hall, and then returned to the phoenix chair, restoring her empress dowager dignity.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian, who stopped Zhang Yan, also secretly wiped his sweat. He was very afraid, afraid that the Empress Dowager Yi'an in front of him didn't know what is the priority.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan is more sensible than Wei Zhongxian imagined.

Li Mu paused in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then slowly stepped into the hall. Under the gaze of a group of civil and military officials, he walked towards Danbi in the hall like stars holding the moon.

During this process, Li Mu didn't look at any of the ministers, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yan who was sitting on the phoenix chair, with a faint smile on his mouth.

Until Li Mu stopped not far from Danbi, Zhang Yan subconsciously said, "Mu..."

"Cough cough." Wei Zhongxian was not well-informed, and hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, Commander Li is able to return to the court. He is really the pillar of the country, and the Queen Mother is very happy."

Zhang Yan opened her mouth subconsciously. She didn't call Li Mu's official position, nor did she call her by name directly, but almost blurted out her private address.

Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian, who was at the side, interrupted and avoided this little danger.

At this time, Zhang Yan also knew that she almost said the wrong thing, like a child who made a mistake, she sat on the phoenix chair and glanced at Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled comfortingly at Zhang Yan, and said nothing, it was not suitable to talk to the beautiful queen mother on the phoenix chair at this time.

His left hand was placed on the hilt of the imperial sword given by his waist. Li Mu had hung this precious sword on his way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and brought it into the hall as a ceremonial sword.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, except for the guards in charge of guarding the safety of Jin Yiwei who can wear a saber on their waists, only this imperial bestowed saber can be brought in.

Li Mu, who was holding the handle of the knife, made the hearts of all civil and military officials tense, not knowing what this official Tu would do next.

Just when all the civil and military officials were in fear, Li Mu held the handle of the knife in one hand, turned around and said coldly: "A bunch of waste, the drought in Shaanxi in the north has stumped you, it shows how incompetent you are, and you are so incompetent. The Empress Dowager convened a court meeting to discuss this trivial matter, and for this, the Empress Dowager has to open up her internal funds!"

After speaking, Li Mu asked again: "I ask you, are you worthy of this Ming Dynasty official uniform? Are you worthy of the mighty grace of the emperor?"

In an instant, the entire hall was silent.

2 Chapter Fifty

Li Mu's words were like an ancient bell that had never been rung, suddenly it was struck suddenly, and the sound from this ancient bell exploded like thunder in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty. mianhuatang.la

Then leisurely passed to the sky through the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After Li Mu's words fell, all Jinyiwei Yingwei inside and outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony knelt down on one knee, and congratulated in unison: "Jinyiwei thanks the emperor for your kindness! Empress Dowager's favor!"

Jinyiwei Yingwei congratulated in unison, like a coercion covering the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, so that these ministers had to bow to Zhang Yan and said in unison: "I am guilty, I am ashamed of the Queen Mother's trust, and I have been in vain. En mighty."

After finishing speaking, no one dared to raise their heads. They all bowed their bodies and lowered their heads, waiting for the Empress Dowager Yi'an, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, to forgive them in person.

Although Li Mu's questioning seemed illusory, to an ancient official, it was the deadliest.

In ancient times, fame was more important than life. Some people could not care about their lives, but they had to care about their reputations, especially officials, who valued their reputations higher than the sky.

This unwarranted accusation is equivalent to saying that they are vegetarians and don't know how to appreciate the royal family's favor to them.

To put it bluntly, Li Mu is saying that these guys don't shit when they stand in the latrine, don't serve food with a spoon, and don't work when they are paid.

For these officials, how could they admit such an accusation, even if they were really in the position of cadaver, they would definitely not admit it.

If they admit it, it is tantamount to saying that their morals are really damaged, they are ashamed of the court clothes they wear, and they are in vain of the royal favor.

The only way now is to bow down and beg the queen mother together with all civil and military officials, as long as Zhang Yan on the phoenix chair speaks to let them flatten, Li Mu's accusations against them are nonsense.

Zhang Yan glanced at the civil and military officials bowed and bowed by His Highness, no longer shying away from it, and directly looked at Li Mu's back with a pair of charming eyes, expressing endless tenderness.

At this time, she found that Li Mu, facing all the civil and military officials, was like an insurmountable mountain, blocking all wind and rain for her, and she couldn't help but feel agitated.

Seeing this scene in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Mu smiled, representing that the majesty of the imperial power has been lowered. Facing the questioning, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bowed to Zhang Yan for this.

Next, it needs to be sprinkled with the favor of imperial power like a spring breeze, to gain the favor of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. Of course, this grace is not sprinkled by Li Mu, but needs to be sprinkled by another person, so that it will be more effective.

As the posthumous guardian of the former emperor, and wearing the treasured sword bestowed by the new emperor on his waist, Li Mu can only represent the majesty and cruelest side of the imperial power, but not the grace and tenderness of the imperial power.

Li Mu turned around and saw Zhang Yan's eyes full of tenderness on the phoenix chair, those watery eyes, especially the two lips that were lightly pursed, gave him an urge to rush to Danbi and kiss Fangze.

Fortunately, Li Mu held back, knowing that there were a group of ministers behind him waiting for the imperial power to grant him favor, he blew a kiss to the beautiful queen mother on the phoenix chair, and pointed at the civil and military officials who had been bowing and waiting for the same. Indicating that Zhang Yan can buy people's hearts.

In this way, with Li Mu leading Jin Yiwei in charge of the cruelty of the imperial power, and Zhang Yan representing the grace of the imperial power, these officials of the Ming Dynasty could not afford to cause too much trouble.

In addition, Wei Zhongxian led the East Factory and secretly supervised these officials.

After a long time, as long as the worst Chongzhen Dynasty was passed smoothly, the other thing Li Mu had in mind would be much easier to implement, and Ming officials would not have too much resistance to this matter.

After dealing with the government affairs for nearly a year, Zhang Yan understood the meaning of Li Mu's signal, her heart was naturally warm, she sat on the phoenix chair and gave a charming white look, wishing she could rush down to Danbi right now and fall into the arms of her lover.

But now is not the right time, so Zhang Yan had to sit down and calmly said to the civil and military officials: "What is the crime of the Qing family, let's get rid of it."

"I am waiting to thank the Empress Dowager for showing mercy."

Just as Li Mu expected, Zhang Yan's opening was indeed appreciated by Manchu civil and military officials. Whether it was sincere or not, at least for now, it was a good start.

"The Ai family knows that there is no other way for the lovers, so they think of exposing the internal money." Seeing that all the civil and military officials were up, Zhang Yan straightened her body, took a sneak peek at Li Mu, and continued.

"What Li Aiqing said just now was indeed too impulsive, but it is also understandable. After all, Li Aiqing was afraid of failing the late emperor's entrustment to supervise the country."

Zhang Yan, who was doing peacemaking, changed the subject, and then asked: "It's just that the problem must be solved in the end. The people in Shaanxi have no crops due to the severe drought. I don't know how all the lovers can come up with a good plan."
