Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

She looked at the black water on the ground, slowly raised her eyes, and saw that there was nothing wrong with the water in the space.

Suddenly thinking of something, he lowered his eyes to look at his body, and saw that his body was covered with black secretions.

She rinsed it with water and found that the area that had just been cleaned secreted a lot of secretions again after a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue frowned and asked, "Yi Yi, what's the condition of my body?"

Yi Yi heard Xiao Lengyue's words and said, "Wait a moment, Master."

Xiao Lengyue sighed helplessly when she saw that she had been washing for a while but the secretions were still slowly flowing out.

At this time, Yi Yi said: "Master, these are impurities in the body, just wash them clean."

Xiao Lengyue had guessed something just now, and now after hearing Yi Yi say this, she felt relieved.

It should be because of the golden light. Ever since the golden light entered her body, she always felt a heat in her body.

I didn't notice anything wrong before and thought it was just a sequelae of the golden light entering my body, but I didn't expect that the golden light would expel all the impurities in my body.

She spent almost an hour in the bathroom before she finally cleaned herself.

After Xiao Lengyue washed up, she left the space and rested.

As for Song Ye, he was still heading towards Danxia Pass.

The next day, when Xiao Lengyue went to court, he saw that all the officials were looking at him with strange eyes.

Xiao Lengyue didn't care, but said, "Just tell me if you have something to say."

Because the court had just been cleared up, there were actually quite a lot of things to deal with. Fortunately, they were all minor matters and were dealt with in a short while.

Seeing that all the officials had nothing to say, Xiao Lengyue said, "Since you are all fine, then listen to what I have to say next."

When the officials heard this, they were stunned for a moment and then quickly bowed to Xiao Lengyue.

Xiao Lengyue said in a cold voice: "The first thing is to announce to the world that the taxes on the people and merchants will all be restored to their previous levels.

Those who reclaim wasteland this year will pay taxes three years later."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the officials and said, "You all know which official is in charge of the matter I mentioned. Don't you want me to point it out again?"

When all the officials heard this, they all said, "We understand."

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue continued, "The second thing is to resume the imperial examinations and select the pillars of the country."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Old Master Murong and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Old Master."

When Old Master Murong heard this, he bowed and said, "Yes."

"If you need anything, just give the order. If anyone disobeys, come and tell me."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials understood and knelt down, expressing that they would definitely cooperate with Old Tutor Murong.

Xiao Lengyue did not call them to get up. This matter was of utmost importance to a country.

There are too few capable people in the court now. If there are no more imperial examinations, there will be no one left to use in the Yuan Dynasty.

She didn't dare to hand this matter over to anyone else, so she could only trouble her own master.

Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Lengyue said in a cold voice: "Next, it's time to deal with those officials. Everyone, do you have any ideas?"

When all the officials heard this, they all lowered their heads. The meaning was very obvious, they wanted to listen to Xiao Lengyue's opinion.

Xiao Lengyue had already expected such a scene, so he looked at Chunxiang.

Upon seeing this, Chunxiang took out the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago, then stepped forward and read out all the officials' orders to stay or leave.

Xiao Lengyue originally thought that no one would react to this matter, but at this moment, what was going on with the person who stood out tremblingly?

The Minister of Rites was stared at by Xiao Lengyue, and his body froze in fear. However, thinking of his mission, he still trembled and said, "Your Majesty, the punishment of the criminal Xiao Rende is inappropriate."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites trembled and said, "Although he is guilty, if Your Majesty executes him directly, the people will curse him."

"Swearing? Swearing at what?"

Xiao Lengyue didn't know, so he looked at Chunxiang, and saw Chunxiang quickly avoiding his gaze.

Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue understood. She looked at the official and said, "Tell me, I will not punish you."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites looked up at Xiao Lengyue and said with his eyes closed: "Even if Xiao Rende sent someone to assassinate Your Majesty, he is still Your Majesty's uncle in name.

If Your Majesty were to execute him, it would probably cause fear among the people."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She frowned and said, "He killed the previous emperor, but he can't be sentenced to death?"

Upon hearing this, the Ministry of Rites quickly looked towards the imperial physician, and saw an old man with grey hair coming out.

"Your Majesty, I checked the health of the late emperor and the empress at that time. Although they were drugged by Xiao Rende, the amount of the drug was not enough to kill people."

The old man frowned slightly when he said this, and said, "The late emperor and his men look more like they died of old age?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials lowered their heads, and Xiao Lengyue also fell into deep thought.

In the past two days, she asked Tianze to check it out, and the result was similar to that of the old man from the Imperial Hospital.

Seeing this, the Ministry of Rites trembled and said, “Your Majesty, the people knew about this before.

So, if Your Majesty wants to execute him, the people..."

As soon as the Ministry of Rites said this, Xiao Lengyue understood and said calmly: "Since the death penalty cannot be imposed, then life imprisonment will be imposed."

After saying this, he looked at the officials and asked, "Do you have any objections to this decision?"

After Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, seeing that no one in the court responded, she stood up and said, "Dismiss the court."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Originally, she thought of imposing the death penalty because she thought it was troublesome. Since the death penalty was not an option, she decided to use life imprisonment.

In this way, she could hit him from time to time and let him enjoy it for a while longer.

Xiao Lengyue was thinking so much that she didn't even realize how she got back to the Yangxin Palace. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the dragon throne.

She looked at the memorial on the table, rubbed her brows helplessly, and then began to read it resignedly.

After reading some of them, she found that many officials were asking her to deal with corrupt officials.

Now that I have issued the decree, I can review these memorials directly.

In the days that followed, all officials were busy with their tasks, while Xiao Lengyue went to meet the man named Mr. Meng.

Looking at him sitting in the cell with his back straight, Xiao Lengyue's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Meng Huai."

When Mr. Meng heard the name, his body stiffened. After he reacted, he slowly turned around.

When he saw it was Xiao Lengyue, he smiled and said, "The princess and the queen look so alike."

After saying that, he exclaimed and jokingly said, "Now, it should be your majesty, right?"

Xiao Lengyue looked at the man in front of him, and after sizing him up for a while, she shook her head, "I was wondering what kind of person could have fooled Xiao Rende so much, but I didn't expect it to be a dirty guy like you."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Huai looked at Xiao Lengyue fiercely, "What did you say?"
