Difficult strategy? The Queen's top white lotus, directly grasp

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. Your Majesty and I encountered an assassin last night. Your Majesty was so angry that he broke the man's legs. The blood and flesh were all over the place. I felt sick when I saw it."

Concubine Mei didn't say anything, but began to tell her about her past.

.........

Wang Xiaorui sneaked in and reported that Nie Shuangshuang was asked to leave by Concubine Mei.

Song Chuji frowned when he heard this.

Why tell him this?

He has no interest in the affairs of the two women!

Fanyin, who was sitting opposite him and playing chess with him, stood up immediately and said, "Then your majesty, please go and eavesdrop. I will leave first!"

Song Chuji glanced at him and said unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry? Finish playing chess first, don't be in such a hurry."

He made a black move with an indifferent look, "Since the Queen doesn't want to see me, I don't want to know what they are talking about. Just follow them!"

Wang Xiaorui originally wanted to persuade them, but he remembered the scene of Song Chuji and Nie Shuangshuang’s quarrel yesterday, and suddenly he dared not speak.

Fanyin sighed. He originally thought that His Majesty would take the initiative this time, but he didn't expect that he was still waiting for Nie Shuangshuang to come and talk to him.

Song Chuji thought of the way Nie Shuangshuang looked at him before, as if he was a virus or some dirty thing, and his heart felt as if pricked by a needle.

Since she hates him so much, I don't want to be scolded in vain and be despised and looked down upon by her. Why should I bother?

Anyway, she already thought that he was a tyrant, cruel and ruthless, callous and murderous, and this image had been deeply rooted in people's minds.

Fanyin shook his head. It is true that those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.

He was clearly thinking that in his heart, but he was too tough in his words and refused to give in, even for a moment.

Ugh……

.........

Concubine Mei told Nie Shuangshuang about her life before she entered the palace.

At that time, the previous emperor was in power, the people were living in poverty, the treasury was empty, and the dynasty, which was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, did not even dare to fight a war because it could not defeat anyone.

Later, when Song Chuji came to power, he was not idle. He immediately reorganized the entire court.

Corrupt officials should be arrested and killed. The Xuan family was not imprisoned just because they abused him and his mother, but more because they were the leaders of corruption and lawlessness.

The heyday of the past is now a nightmare.

At the end of the previous emperor's reign, people's lives were miserable and they were living in dire straits. When the dynasty was in decline, corrupt officials were rampant and taxes were piled high, almost suffocating the people at that time.

The fields were barren, the granaries were empty, and natural and man-made disasters followed one after another, including drought and floods, rampant locusts, and a complete loss of harvest.

The people living in that era were ragged, pale and thin, and dragged their tired bodies to work in the fields until dark, but could not get enough to eat.

In the market, the cries of hawkers were no longer lively, only sighs of despair remained. Business travel was rare, goods were scarce, prices soared, and even the most basic necessities of life became luxuries.

People would go to great lengths just to exchange for a little food; even moldy old rice could cause a scramble.

The late emperor had never been harsh on his ministers. Even though his harem was a mess and there was no peace, the ministers of the previous dynasty did the best to strike a balance.

He was afraid that if he angered a certain family, they would rebel and overthrow his throne.

However, since Song Chuji came to power, the wind of corruption has continued to spread, touching every corner of the court.

He was not as indecisive as his father, but was swift and fierce in punishing people in order to eradicate all the cancer and restore order in the court.

Tolerating evil will only make the problem worse. We must challenge those greedy people with an iron fist.

He personally reviewed the cases of every corrupt official who was caught, not missing any details, and all the guilty were severely punished.

People's lives are getting better and better.

On the other hand, the Fourth Prince was able to expand his power by using such sinister means as controlling the county magistrate of Lingfeng City and the people of the entire city.

If he inherited the throne, it is no exaggeration to say that he would be far inferior to Song Chuji today.

“Shuangshuang, Chu Ji is a good emperor, but the Fourth Prince is not.

Those people he sent were all traitors. Chu Ji might have been harsh on them, but that was just to establish his authority."

Nie Shuangshuang might think that he was cruel and unjust, but she didn't know that those old foxes in the court would only bully the people even more if she was too tolerant.

Song Chuji has always valued the country the most. It would not be a big deal if the Fourth Prince simply wanted to assassinate him, but he poisoned the people in Lingfeng City to weaken their willpower.

Song Chuji couldn't tolerate all kinds of diseases in his body!

I must kill him with my own hands and apologize to the world!

Nie Shuangshuang listened in silence. After a while, she finished a cup of tea and propped up her chin like someone listening to a novel.

After all, Concubine Mei’s story was vivid and her voice was gentle and pleasant.

In short, her main idea is that Song Chuji really has no other choice. Without being strict, there is no way to change the chaos that existed during the reign of the previous emperor.

Song Chuji secretly ran over to listen to what they were talking about at some point, but all he could hear was Concubine Mei's voice.

He frowned impatiently. Where is that woman Nie Shuangshuang? Why doesn't she say a word? What is she thinking about?

Wang Xiaorui, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. It really hasn't been easy for His Majesty along the way.

The late emperor was indeed a bastard, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was a despotic ruler. Fortunately, he had this son, who is very capable.

After taking office, he used drastic measures to eliminate all those dirty and filthy things!

His eyes were slightly red. He had followed His Majesty all the way and had no idea how many times he had been in and out of the cold palace. They were like brothers to him.

Song Chuji frowned impatiently when he heard Concubine Mei bragging about how great she was and her achievements. This was not what he wanted to hear.

Of course he knew exactly what he had done.

He tilted his head to look at Wang Xiaorui who was wiping his tears.

The straight man Song Chuji: "..."

I don't understand why he is crying. What's there to cry about?

As Nie Shuangshuang listened, she felt a movement at the door. She took a peek and saw the corner of a bright yellow shirt. Next to it was a strategy value: 25.

He immediately realized that it was Song Chuji who was eavesdropping there. He actually hid it very well, but the main reason was that the bright strategy value was too eye-catching.

"My Lady Dowager, I don't think Your Majesty is cruel and inhumane, but... the assassin last night should be tried and punished, so just hand him over to the people below. Why do we have to do it in public..."

He doesn't care about his status and dignity as an emperor at all. How can this reputation be spread out in a good way?
