Mu Tingxue really liked the regent.

This incident can be solved, and Yan Yang is indispensable.

This man is a military general, and he also has a great strategy.He could actually think of using such a tricky entry point as "eunuch" to make a trick, leaving the civil and military officials in the court speechless.

The founding emperor prohibited eunuchs from intervening in politics, but now there is Dongchang, which is an investigative and criminal spy agency that directly serves the imperial power.

Doesn’t Dongchang do politics?Doesn’t it violate Gaozu’s prohibition?

Similarly, Empress Xiaowen, the founder of the People's Republic of China, wrote a book prohibiting women from speaking about politics. However, Empress Dowager Yan used the excuse that the emperor was young and needed the supervision of his mother to listen to politics openly and behind the curtain. The eldest princess also arranged for female doctors to become officials.

To put it bluntly, these prohibitions are “inapplicable” under the current national conditions!

Emperor Gaozu's prohibitions have been relaxed and ineffective. The precedent has been set. What does your shabby book of Empress Xiaowen mean?

Mu Tingxue was not the first to break the ban.

The first rafter that comes out is the queen mother.

As the first queen mother to listen behind the curtain, the Queen Mother was like a solid shield in front of her, blocking at least 80.00% of the damage for her.

After realizing this, Mu Tingxue's grateful gaze shifted from the regent to her mother behind the beaded curtain on the right.

Sure enough, mommy is the best.

Yan Yang straightened his back and moved his body to the right.

Why doesn't she look at me anymore?

Happiness is always short-lived, and the burning adoring gaze that intoxicated him and made him extremely satisfied disappeared.

Who is my cousin looking at?

Yan Yang's face turned gloomy for a moment. He glanced at the official standing on the right, passed over the old man, and saw Li Yuan, the prince of Jing Yu, the general of Zuo Jinwu Guard, and Qin Chuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory. The prince Qin Zhaoyi, the prince Su Zixiu, the prince of the Southeast Army Shenwei, the prince Taiyue Bo, the minister of war, Gao Chongyan...

These young nobles with prominent backgrounds, handsome looks, and high positions shuddered at the same time.

It's so evil, they didn't do anything, how on earth did they offend the regent?

Li Yuan was not wronged, after all, he proposed to the eldest princess.

Qin Zhaoyi was very wronged. He said that my aunt and I were just pure family friends!

Su Zixiu was like Dou E's June snow. He swore that he had never said a word to the eldest princess, although he had always wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask the eldest princess for more military pay for the Southeast Navy.

Gao Chongyan was worried. Could it be that the regent was angry and wanted to kill me because of my uncle's military affairs?

The great dynasty meeting ended when the young emperor Xie Xuanchen said "dismissal of the dynasty".

Several young talents, under the intimidating gaze of the regent, fled the Golden Palace in a hurry, running faster than rabbits.

*. *. *

After the court meeting, Mu Tingxue went to work in the household department to deal with the pile of documents.

Busy till evening.

She just finished her work and decided to have a meal in her mother's harem.

however.

As soon as Mu Tingxue entered the East Nuan Pavilion of Qihuang Palace, the angry-faced queen mother was reviewing the paper.

Thirty or forty books have been approved on the imperial record, and there are still about twenty books on the left that have not been approved.

The way the queen mother held the ink pen didn't look like she was criticizing a book, but more like she was holding a knife and slashing someone aggressively.

"what happened?"

Mu Tingxue walked over and asked with concern.

Empress Dowager Yan saw her daughter coming and said angrily: "In three days, there are 78 letters of impeachment against you! So many shit basins are thrown at your head, you are a bunch of treacherous officials, the Ai family will punish them severely!"

Mu Tingxue leaned over and took a look. Sure enough, it was a memorial from the officials scolding her.

The queen mother brushed and brushed, and Zhu approved a line of words - "Read, reject, send the army three thousand miles outside the wall."

Mu Tingxue looked at each one one by one again. On the pile on the right that had been approved, the ones her mother had approved were:

"Look, reject it, wear a royal staff of two hundred."

"Read it, reject it, ask the queen to kill me."

"Read it, reject it, and immediately confiscate your home and send you to Zhao Prison."

……

All these statements were rejected by the Empress Dowager Yan without exception. The methods used to punish these high-ranking officials were various, including exile, demotion, imprisonment, reduction of status, imperial staff, and beheading.

Mu Tingxue reminded: "Throughout the dynasties, there has been a tradition that officials are not killed. Their duty is to give advice and scold people according to orders. Moreover, the issue of female doctors entering official positions has been resolved by the dynasty meeting today, and it is really not suitable to continue. Punish with heavy punishment."

Queen Mother Yan was unwilling to comply: "They scolded you so harshly, why not kill them? I just want to punish them severely and let them know how powerful you are!"

Mu Tingxue knew that the queen mother was eager to protect her daughter.

But - national political affairs are not family affairs and should not be treated emotionally.

"If you punish me severely, whether it is confiscation of your home, beheading, deregistration, distribution, or hanging, on the surface, you will let them know how powerful you are and teach them a lesson, but in fact, it will help them."

"Complete?"

Empress Dowager Yan paused while criticizing the book, and was very confused, "How could it be said that they would be successful? Could it be that they deliberately sought death?"

"That's right." Mu Tingxue nodded, with sharp eyes, "These censors and ministers are very eager to be severely punished by their mother. They know clearly that the contents of the excerpt will make the queen furious, and they will not hesitate to seek death. Because of these words The officer knows very well that only in this way can he become famous overnight! Be famous all over the world!"

Queen Mother Yan was stunned.

Mu Tingxue continued to persuade: "Queen mother, please be more awake. They are using you to achieve their own clear name! A seventh- or eighth-grade supervisory censor is destined to be unable to achieve any brilliant political achievements that benefit the country and the people. The only way for them to become famous is for a foolish monarch to severely punish or even kill them for not accepting advice.”

Queen Mother Yan broke into a cold sweat: "Qing Yuan's words make sense."

She almost fell into the eternal infamy of being mediocre.

Mu Tingxue took a pen and helped her mother cross out all those harsh words of punishment and changed them into false and empty words about leaders praising their subordinates.

"Even my uncle, the right prime minister, who worked diligently in Shangshu Province all his life, may leave at most a few words in the history books of later generations. And those officials, once they are killed by the queen mother, will be singled out in the history books The biographies of the ministers, the great books, the great boasts, will be remembered for generations; if they are lucky enough to survive and survive until a few decades later, and the new king overturns the case for them, they can still become the straight men respected by the world. Sir, with just one edict, I can rise to the top of the Ninth Rank!"

In this regard, Queen Mother Yan's evaluation was two words - "disgusting."

Mu Tingxue agreed: "A person with a clear face who is serving the country and the world is nothing more than a group of cunning people who have selfish motives and want to be named."

Queen Mother Yan sighed. She didn't expect that her daughter could see so clearly: "What should we do?"

"Don't pay attention to them, and don't let these barking dogs influence your emotions. This is the best countermeasure."
