The First Tyrant of Daxia

Tai Chi Hall.

The buzzing sound of discussions coming from the civil and military officials seemed a bit noisy.

"Your Majesty, we're here!" Eunuch Xi shouted in a shrill voice.

The hall quickly became quiet and all officials returned to their seats.

Qin Yun was wearing a golden dragon robe and looked extremely majestic. He sat down slowly, as if he was looking down on all living beings.

"My dear ministers, please report as soon as you have the document." He shouted as per the custom.

Unexpectedly, the next second more than ten ministers stood up and knelt down with a plop!

Qin Yun was not very surprised. He guessed that these guys had colluded and wanted to make trouble because of the appointment of Xiao Jian as the general yesterday.

But something unexpected happened.

The gun was not pointed at Xiao Jian, who was named the Grand Marshal for Suppressing Bandits.

Liu Ziyi, the Junior Minister of the Imperial Clan, led the way, kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Your Majesty, we beg Your Majesty to severely punish Concubine Xiao Shu for her disorderly conduct in the harem!"

Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, and then anger flashed in his eyes!

Concubine Xiao Shu worked diligently and wanted to make Daxia prosperous. What crime had she committed? !

"fart!"

Xiao Jian was immediately furious. Harem chaos was an extremely serious crime. Once it was confirmed, his younger sister would be finished.

He stood up, his body shaking, and pointed at Liu Ziyi and cursed: "You bastard, if you dare to slander my little sister again, I will kill you!"

Liu Ziyi was very determined and not afraid at all, and retorted.

"Xiao Jian, you are so bold! In the Golden Palace, you actually dared to ignore the emperor's authority and curse in public!"

"Your Majesty, please expel Xiao Jian to show your majesty!"

"That's right, such a reckless man should be punished and expelled!"

Xiao Jian was almost drowned by the spit of the crowd. How could he, a general, possibly outsmart the tongue of a dozen civil officials?

Soon, he failed to prove anything for Concubine Xiao Shufei, but instead was accused of disrespecting the emperor.

Xiao Jian was so angry that his breath was heavy and his fists were pounding. He really wanted to take action.

Seeing this, Qin Yun stood up and shouted, "Everyone, shut up!"

Everyone was silent.

Xiao Jian gave him a look for help, as if to say, you can't trust these people.

Qin Yun naturally stood on Concubine Xiao's side, motioning him to be quiet, and then his eyes slowly fell on Liu Ziyi, the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Clan.

"You said that Concubine Shu's harem was in chaos?"

Liu Ziyi looked up, and looked at Qin Yun with a flustered look, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "That's right!"

"Well, Liu Ziyi, tell me how Concubine Shu messed up the government."

"This is really a mess. You have made a great contribution by reporting this. I will make you a first-rank minister!"

"If it is slander, I will kill all your clans!"

Qin Yun's cold tone makes people shudder!

boom!

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked!

The emperor was angry, and anyone could see it. If he continued to give advice, he would be courting death! No one could question the emperor's authority. If he wanted to kill someone, it would only take a word!

Liu Ziyi broke out in a cold sweat. His Majesty's love for Concubine Xiao Shufei exceeded their expectations.

For a moment, he didn't dare to go on and could only secretly look at Wang Wei on the right.

Wang Wei was experienced and stood up calmly, cupping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is the Junior Minister of the Imperial Clan, in charge of all matters concerning the royal family. It is within the scope of his duties to make a remonstrance at this time."

"Your Majesty's threats may chill the hearts of all officials and make them afraid to make suggestions in the future."

Qin Yun smiled. Do you need so many people to kneel down together to give advice? Isn't this putting pressure on the emperor?

"I said, if it's true, I'll reward you, if it's false, I'll punish you, the rewards and punishments are clear, is there anything wrong with that?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

Prime Minister Lin Changshu stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker, saying slowly, "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is also working for the country and the people. Why don't you listen to what he has to say?"

Qin Yun looked at him coldly.

Liu Ziyi wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Your Majesty, was the imperial edict you issued yesterday to confer titles on Guo Ziyun and Xiao Jian written by Concubine Xiao Shufei?"

Qin Yun's eyes flickered. Could this be political chaos?

Liu Ziyi continued, "First, Xiao Jian and Concubine Shu are siblings. Writing the imperial edict in this way is suspected of favoritism."

"Secondly, the law stipulates that concubines in the harem cannot participate in government affairs."

"But Concubine Xiao Shu not only participated in government affairs, but also wrote the imperial edict without authorization. Regardless of whether it was approved by His Majesty or not, this is political chaos!"

"If this continues, there will inevitably be people in the harem who will forge an imperial decree and do something illegal!"

"Third, the imperial edict was issued without the approval of the cabinet, which is a violation of the law. Concubine Xiao Shu must be severely punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so ministers who were kneeling on the ground knelt for a long time, and became one with him.

Xiao Jian's face looked extremely ugly. He had neglected this matter. The imperial edict was issued last night. He knew that it was written by his younger sister, but he was busy organizing the army and preparing to suppress the bandits, so he forgot to remind her.

Qin Yun said calmly, "I ordered Concubine Shu to write the imperial edict, so I broke the rules anyway. So? From the tone of your voice, Lord Liu, are you going to punish me as well?"

"I dare not!" Liu Ziyi bowed his head and said, "I am only advising you on the basis of Daxia's national policy. Your Majesty can be wrong, but Concubine Xiao Shu must be reprimanded."

Qin Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Humph, what if I don't?!"

Qin Yun's voice was like thunder, exploding!

When everyone heard this, their faces turned grim. They were afraid that this matter would be difficult to resolve!

"If Your Majesty is unwilling to punish Concubine Xiao Shufei to serve as a warning to others, then we will kneel here forever!" Liu Ziyi said in a deep voice with his head down.

Qin Yun sneered. Even if the king of heaven came today, he couldn't touch Xiang'er at all!

"Well, all of you get out here and kneel down!"

"Shufei is under my order. If anyone dares to make a fuss about this matter again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jian loosened his sweaty hands. As long as His Majesty didn't give in, this matter should be suppressed.

Wang Wei, Lin Changshu and others' faces changed, and they felt mixed emotions in their hearts.

It is not good news that Your Majesty is so protective of Concubine Xiao. The Xiao family has money and soldiers, and is the only one in the court that can confront the Wang family camp.

But Wang Wei didn't want to break up with Qin Yun because of this matter, so he chose to remain silent after hesitating.

Qin Yun signaled Guo Ziyun to stand up and speak to expose the matter.

"Your Majesty, this is the first allocation I have prepared for the famine in Guanzhong. Please take a look at it." Guo Ziyun presented the account book.

Qin Yun took it and just took a look at it, and he felt that it would be difficult to move forward without money.

All the money originally used to repair the palace and build the Yongle Temple was taken back, and everything that could be exchanged for cash was also exchanged, but only 500,000 taels of silver could be collected.

Together with the original 500,000 taels, it was enough for disaster relief in the early stages, but after the relief was completed, the court was really stretched to the limit.

Qin Yun gestured to give the account book to each minister to take a look.

Then he threw out the land deeds and silver notes that Concubine Xiao Shufei had donated yesterday.

The box fell to the ground with a bang, right in front of Liu Ziyi.

"Hmph, all of you, take a good look at me. This is what Concubine Shu gave me yesterday. She said she would use it to exchange for food for disaster relief. For the sake of the people, Concubine Shu did not hesitate to tighten her belt and take out her dowry!"

"And you guys? What are you doing?"

"Not only did you not contribute money to disaster relief to relieve my worries, but you even dared to slander Concubine Shu. I am so angry!"

Qin Yun slammed the dragon throne fiercely, pretending that the emperor was furious, and frightened many ministers so much that they dared not speak.

He continued to get angry, pointing at Liu Ziyi and saying, "The more I look at you guys, the angrier I get! Come here, take you out and give me thirty lashes, and wait for your punishment!

Outside the hall, two rows of imperial guards rushed in, ready to arrest someone.
