I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Chapter 7 My worst option is to fine the censor one year's salary

Now Rand understood that his elder sister was jealous!

Rand quickly comforted her, "Sister! We are different from the civil servants in the Queen's family! When my brother goes to the battlefield and makes great achievements for His Majesty, His Majesty's brother-in-law will definitely not treat us unfairly!"

Hearing this, Lan Fei became even more worried: "Boy, just don't cause me any trouble! From childhood to adulthood, I have helped you clean up so many messes!"

Rand lowered his head. His elder sister was like a mother to him. He had been afraid of Concubine Lan since he was a child.

Moreover, he inherited his family's title at a young age, and no one dared to discipline him except Concubine Lan.

This led to his naughty and flamboyant character.

Apart from having no gossip about women, Rand has done a lot of bad things.

As he grew older in recent years, Rand has become more restrained.

However, his reputation for being domineering among the nobles is still quite loud.

"Who are you going to clean up this mess for, my beloved concubine?" Suddenly, Li Tian's voice was heard outside the palace.

Concubine Lan's face turned pale and she immediately went out with her brother to greet him.

Seeing the smiling Li Tian, Concubine Lan put on a smiling face:

"His Majesty has arrived, and those bastards at the front gate didn't even bother to inform him!"

"I didn't ask them to report it. Are you teaching me a lesson, my beloved concubine?"

Li Tian looked at Rand.

Rand often went to the palace, and Li Tian had seen him many times.

Rand and Princess Lan look very similar, but Rand is more heroic.

If he were a man dressed as a woman, he would definitely be a heroic beauty, right?

Thinking of this, Li Tian was shocked and quickly gave up this terrible idea!

I am a straight man!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Rand said respectfully.

Li Tian nodded and said, "Your family members can chat about the past. I will leave first."

Rand immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have military duties to attend to, so I will withdraw first!"

After he finished speaking, Rand bowed to Li Tian and Lan Fei and left quickly.

Seeing her brother being so tactful, Concubine Lan curled her lips.

"How did your majesty find time to come to my place?"

Princess Lan was wearing a long red dress.

Compared with the bookish air of Queen Tang Hanxue, Concubine Lan has a bit more of the wildness of being born into a noble family.

She prefers red hairpins, which just fits her temperament perfectly.

If the queen is described as a white peony with extraordinary beauty.

That Lan Fei is a gorgeous and charming red rose!

Such a beauty has never slept with me!

Li Tian suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with this original body!

He took Concubine Lan and walked into the palace, saying, "I'm here to talk to you for a while."

At this moment, in the Queen's Palace, Tang Hanxue rubbed her eyebrows.

She circled the key points in the memorials that had piled up like a mountain.

The Tang family has a long tradition of academic learning, and Tang Hanxue has been raised as a son by Tang Xiaoren since childhood.

Tang Xiaoren often felt that if women were able to take part in the imperial examinations, Tang Hanxue would definitely be the top scorer!

Because she had helped her father with official documents since she was a child, Tang Hanxue was very familiar with the officialdom.

After finishing these tasks, Tang Hanxue felt more and more headache.

Most of these memorials were criticisms of her father, Tang Xiaoren.

Almost all the members of the Censorate went out to write a joint letter to Tang Xiaoren.

Gao Yao originally planned to retire and return home.

The Leisurely Six Wise Kings.

Everyone in the government and the country is keeping an eye on this turmoil in the imperial court!

At the same time, Li Tian had a good chat with Lan Fei.

I had a good "exchange and discussion" with this red rose for a while.

By the time we returned to the queen's bedroom, it was already evening.

Tang Hanxue had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Li Tian.

"Queen! You actually read the whole thing!"

Looking at the pile of memorials, which were arranged neatly by Tang Hanxue, Li Tian was surprised.

Tang Hanxue said, "Your Majesty, the highest-ranking memorials in that stack are all impeachments against my father, Tang Xiaoren."

This……

Li Tian looked at the memorial half a person's height and asked, "What do you think the Queen should do?"

"I dare not discuss politics."

"It's okay, we're just chatting."

Tang Hanxue then raised her head and said, "I once heard my father say that the emperor has three strategies for dealing with this kind of court disputes: the best, the middle and the worst."

"tell me the story."

"The best strategy is to keep the memorial in the court."

Li Tian asked puzzledly: "Why is this the best strategy?"

Tang Hanxue said: "The impeachment of the Prime Minister is a very intense moment in the court. As the emperor, of course, I can't easily take sides."

"If you don't stay in the court, you will be holding back the memorials and maintaining a neutral attitude."

"If the Prime Minister is strong, he can definitely put down the chaos in the Censorate."

"If the Censorate really finds fault with the Prime Minister, they can naturally force him to step down."

"If you stay here, you are on the side of the winner."

So that’s it!

I didn’t expect Tang Hanxue to be so proficient in political tactics!

She is indeed the daughter of a treacherous minister!

Li Tian is looking forward to Tang Xiaoren more and more!

Burn your treacherous soul, father-in-law, you have ruined the destiny of our country!

Seeing that Li Tian did not respond, Tang Hanxue continued:

"The middle policy is to give each of them a hundred lashes, which is equivalent to forcibly stopping the fight. The benefit of doing so is that it temporarily controls the situation."

"But the downside is like putting a lid on a boiling kettle. Sooner or later it will explode even more violently!"

Li Tian shook his head and said, "What's the next best option?"

A hint of gloom flashed across Tang Hanxue's eyes, and she continued:

"The worst option is to take sides, support the censors who impeached, and acquiesce in the Prime Minister's resignation."

Li Tian nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Let's choose the next best option!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hanxue lowered her head silently.

She certainly understood her father's long-standing ambition.

He was finally promoted to the position of Prime Minister this time, but before he could even get comfortable in his seat, he was impeached due to court disputes.

If the first and second chancellors who were impeached and stepped down did not retire and return to their hometowns, they would be exiled to other prefectures.

Thinking of this, Tang Hanxue couldn't help but sigh softly.

As expected, the royal family is ruthless!

Emperors are naturally cold-blooded creatures.

Tang Hanxue felt sad.

Li Tian was silently calculating in his heart:

"This best and middle strategy cannot be chosen!"

"I am a tyrant! If I do this, I won't be able to ruin the country's destiny!"

"But my father-in-law cannot be demoted. Without this treacherous minister, how can I continue to cause trouble?"

"We can only take action against those imperial censors!"

Imperial Censor Li Tian said, "Queen, you write for me!"

Tang Hanxue picked up the wolf hair brush. She was also very curious about Li Tian’s processing results.

Li Tian said, "All the officials of the Censorate attacked the Prime Minister without reason. All the censors who submitted the petition will be collectively fined for one year!"

"Draft an imperial edict for me to reprimand you, and have the eunuch read it out at the Censorate!"

"Except for the Censor, all the officials who submitted a petition to impeach the Prime Minister will be dealt with in the same way!"

Tang Hanxue was dumbfounded.

Draft an imperial edict to reprimand the censor?

This is unprecedented in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The Censor was a censor who had the power to speak out on matters heard.

To put it bluntly, it is the right to impeach ministers based on rumors without any evidence!

This is also the reason why a small censor could bring down many ministers.

Li Tian actually wants to punish the censor who submitted the memorial?

That's equivalent to a slap in the face to the Censorate!

Tang Hanxue's eyes suddenly turned red.

Your Majesty is trying to support her father!
