"Your Majesty, the Prince of Changping—" Eunuch Lu said outside the imperial study, "General Huang Ce wants to see you!"

"Hurry up and announce it!" Chen Jia stretched his sore neck twice, waiting for General Huang Ce to come in.

Revising these memorials for a long time is a test for both the body and mind.

The last time General Huang Ce came back from suppressing bandits, she did not see Huang Ce, and only asked Eunuch Lu to convey his orders and deliver rewards.

I have heard of General Huang Ce for a long time, and this time I can meet him.

"Your Majesty, I greet the King of Changping..." Huang Ce was wearing official uniform and had taken off the sword that had always been with him before entering the palace and handed it over to the imperial guards guarding the gate.

"General Huang, please stand up! Come, give him a seat!" Chen Jia smiled and asked Eunuch Lu to prepare a chair for General Huang Ce. "This trip was so smooth thanks to General Huang. All the supplies were delivered to the soldiers and civilians at Jialing Pass. I believe that with such thorough preparations, they will be able to overcome the difficulties."

Huang Ce repeatedly refused, and only sat down stiffly after making sure that His Majesty was sincere. After hearing His Majesty's words, he cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's prompt decision, the incident at Jialing Pass was able to be resolved without any danger..."

"General Huang is indeed very good at speaking. What I have done is what a king should do." Chen Jia sighed, "Natural disasters are ruthless, but I will not abandon my people. I only hope that the world will be peaceful and prosperous..."

The sea is peaceful and the river is clear——

General Huang Ce chewed over this sentence again and again, and finally understood why Prince Changping did not take over.

Your Majesty has the heart of a saint, is compassionate to the world, and cares about the world... Who else could be more suitable for this position than her?

The King of Changping was able to expand the territory, his foresight and vision surpassed everyone else, and he also had the acumen of an emperor, and he did an excellent job in balancing the tugs of war among court officials.

But the King of Changping lacked a compassionate heart.

If your majesty, a benevolent monarch, has the assistance of Prince Changping, it will not be a problem for the Blue Bird Kingdom to achieve peace and prosperity!

The King of Changping is self-aware. He must have the interests of his country and family in his heart!

Huang Ce has a blind filter for the King of Changping whom he follows.

No matter what the other party does, he can over-interpret, rationalize and beautify it in his eyes!

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say." Huang Ce briefly pondered the advantages of being the King of Changping or Your Majesty, and continued, "On the way between Kyoto and Jialing Pass, I seized a group of corrupt officials and confiscated tens of millions of dollars. Along the way, I encountered several waves of bandit dens that endangered the surrounding towns, and I arrested them all..."

General Huang Ce explained what he had seen, heard, and done along the way. Finally, he respectfully took out a booklet and said, "Your Majesty, this is the list I recorded. It contains the names of corrupt officials, the amount of money they embezzled, and the crimes they committed. Of course, the bandits we eliminated along the way were also recorded..."

This is too much!

Such a thick booklet must contain so many corrupt officials and evil gangsters!

Chen Jia felt that her worldview had been reshaped. She asked Eunuch Lu to bring her a booklet, carefully flipped through four or five pages, and then closed the booklet angrily!

Chen Jia was angry, "These people - are so hateful!" Exploiting the people and squeezing their wealth are not enough to describe their evil!

Every criminal record was so detailed that Chen Jia was furious. However, Chen Jia still did not forget to distinguish between rewards and punishments: "General Huang did a great job. I will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Ce thanked His Majesty for the reward, and said that the officials he had detained had been imprisoned in the Sky Prison, waiting for His Majesty's decision.

As for the bandits who came along, they were cleared out on the spot.

The killed bandit: Haha, you are so noble and great...you killed us without any hesitation!

As there were too many officials involved, Chen Jia did not dare to let the Minister of Justice take charge of the case. She asked the Regent to supervise the case.

As soon as the news came out, some court officials who had originally hoped to mediate were completely dumbfounded, and a vague realization flashed through their minds that "the world is going to change."

Some officials who still hold important positions in the court have closed their doors to visitors.

Unless he was attending court, he rarely went out and did not meet guests.

At this time when everyone is afraid of enemies, if they are involved with someone and that person is found out, they will not be able to explain themselves even if they have a mouth.

Some officials have relatives who are sent to work as officials in other places. At this time, they can only sacrifice their relatives for the sake of justice and be ruthless and leave no matter what happens, letting the officials live or die!

Not to mention risking your life to help him, if you are not careful, the whole family will be dragged down with it.

If the Minister of Justice is the only one in charge, then there may be others who use their power to force or unite to interfere and confuse the emperor.

Unfortunately, the emperor they thought was not so easy to fool. Not only did he hand over the power to investigate the matter to the regent, he also trusted the regent so much. Wasn’t he afraid that his ambition would grow?

Once you have the taste of power, it is difficult to let it go.

They believed: So did the Regent!

Previously, they thought that when the young king ascended the throne, it would be their time to control the court.

Unexpectedly, the Regent had become the Queen's backer, like a sharp knife.

As long as Your Majesty wants, you can swing at them at any time and give them a heavy blow!

Not to mention the distant consequences, as far as the Regent has intervened in this matter, if they rashly get involved, they will only end up with trouble.

Having rejected yet another person who came to him for help, a certain minister paced helplessly in his study.

After a long while, he looked up and let out a long sigh: Hey, it's not that he didn't help, it's just that he couldn't save himself...

After rewarding General Huang, Chen Jia excitedly led his men to the national treasury. When the Regent saw them leaving in a hurry, he fell silent for a moment.

Chen Jia suddenly turned around and urged, "Uncle, hurry up and catch up!"

"minister--"

Before the Regent could think clearly, the person had already walked away and he could only walk to catch up.

At this moment, the lady's eyes are probably only focused on that pile of yellow and white things...

He took Eunuch Lu and others on a tour of the national treasury and counted the warehouses over and over again.

Chen Jia was very satisfied. She felt that everything was perfect and she was in a very comfortable mood.

The wealth that Huang Ce brought back from this trip was enough to rival that of a country. Even if he paid the military salaries of the remaining three border checkpoints in full, the national treasury would still have a considerable surplus.

This also means that if there is any unpredictable natural disaster, the Blue Bird Kingdom has the ability to resist the disaster.

If the national treasury is in deficit for a long time, the only unlucky ones are the monarch and the common people...

This is called emptying the pockets of treacherous officials and enriching the national treasury.

Although Eunuch Lu's legs were almost broken from walking, at least he was not like Xiao Fuzi who was following behind him, who almost broke his hands from writing!

Even though her hands were numb and sore, Xiao Fuzi continued to register mechanically as if she felt nothing.

He is not the only eunuch in the palace who is slightly literate. He has climbed from being ignored to the position of Eunuch Lu today, and has experienced all the sorrows of life!

If he easily utters the word "tired", starting tomorrow, there will no longer be a place for his little Fuzi beside Eunuch Lu.

There are so many people who want to step on him!
