The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Today's morning court session lasted half an hour longer than usual. The sun was already high in the sky outside, and the clear chirping of birds could be heard.

Liang Chongyue looked around, pointed at the person who had not spoken just now and said:

"Except for the people I just pointed out, you may leave. If you all feel I'm unworthy, please stay and have a good talk with me. Why am I unworthy? Is it because my character isn't as noble as yours, or is my political achievements less remarkable than yours?"

The smile on Liang Chongyue's face faded, and his tone became calm, even more majestic than usual.

Anyone pointed at by His Highness would be eager to run away from this place of trouble.

Your Highness is brave and resourceful, and with Duke Dingguo and General Huoqi here, it would be a relief if they can avoid being dragged into this dispute.

Those who were kneeling at the back wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but they were discovered by Ping An. They were grabbed by the scruff of the neck and thrown to the ground. When everyone who should have left had left, they were greeted with a beating and no one could escape.

Liang Chongyue seemed not to notice the chaotic scene. She turned around and spoke to Qi Deyuan in a gentle tone as usual:

"My people are waiting outside. Please, Eunuch Qi, go out and call them in. Tell them that I have something to tell you."

"Yes, we'll do it right away."

Looking at Qi Deyuan's heavy back as he walked away quickly, Liang Chongyue turned her gaze back and ordered the eunuch serving beside her to bring a chair over for her.

It is still early for today's matter. It is simply a daydream for one or two people to want her to go to her scumbag father and give up the real power of the national treasury based on a few words of etiquette and laws passed down by their ancestors.

She would make them take off their official robes willingly, go to their scumbag father and ask for retirement, so that they could return home and farm.

The imperial examination has just passed this year, and it is time for a wave of fresh blood to enter the court. Otherwise, these old guys have no sense of crisis and think that the court is run for them. They treat it as their own home and dare to say anything.

Liang Chongyue sat on a chair. The young eunuch in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was worthy of being a servant in front of the emperor. He even remembered to serve her a pot of tea and snacks.

Ping'an's hands were covered in other people's blood, so he couldn't pour her tea. She didn't bring Xi Yu with her when she entered the palace this time, and she missed the delicious tea he made.

Watching Her Royal Highness the Princess leisurely drinking tea, those who were shouting fiercely just now had been killed as an example to scare the monkeys. Now they were huddled together in groups, even more listless than the sick chickens in the morning market, with no trace of their previous arrogance.

Of course, there were some truly brave men among them who stood beside Fan Wubing's half-dead body and dared to bark at her, only to be taught a lesson by Ping An the next second.

"Your Highness, you actually dared to have your men assault important officials in the court without any reason. You have already committed a grave crime. The emperor of Great Xia is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if His Majesty dotes on you, if the people of Great Xia knew about this, how many people would be disillusioned with you, Your Highness?"

Amidst the questioning and cries of pain, Liang Chongyue slowly drank a cup of tea, and did not forget to give a reassuring look to his grandfather and uncle.

Only then did Qi Deyuan bring Jing Suiyang and others over.

Qi Deyuan walked in front with his round body, followed by a group of guards wearing black cloaks and marching in unison.

Under the mysterious cloak is a strange mask, with only a pair of cold eyes showing outside. Just looking at him from a distance makes one feel oppressive.

"Who said that I hurt people for no reason? I don't need to say more. Who among you present here is clean?"

Liang Chongyue put down the cup and saw Jing Suiyang and Liang Fang walking up to her wearing masks:

"I am late, Princess, please forgive me."

Liang Chongyue didn't have the time to convict them at this moment.

They were all given to her by her scumbag father and were able to enter and leave the palace freely. She left some of them to look after the princess's mansion, and the rest followed her into the palace.

But they didn't go through the Meridian Gate. They came in by climbing over the eaves and walls, so no one knew about it except the head of the palace guards, a few masters and their scumbag father.

"These are the Black Guards and the Royal Secret Guards!???"

Someone with sharp eyes and quick mouths had already recognized their identities. Liang Chongyue tilted her head slightly and saw through the gap between Jing Suiyang and Liang Fang that the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had covered his mouth and was looking at her in shock.

Apart from the officials from the Censorate, the people who barked the most today were from the Ministry of Revenue.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a second-rank official, should be the highest-ranking person in this group.

"I remember my father once told me that besides the Censorate, there are other places in the court that have records of every official. They even record when and where they embezzled money, how many times they went to brothels without paying, how many times they owed money, and whether they hurt anyone. Could you please get these people's information for me, so that no one will accuse me of hurting people for no reason?"

"This princess doesn't want to dishearten the people of Daxia, so it's better to get rid of these termites as soon as possible."

"If Your Highness wants to see it, of course it's fine. I'll send someone to check it out right away."

When Liang Chongyue said this, everyone present turned pale.

Especially the two masked men kneeling in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, they look extraordinary and can check the information of all officials at any time. It seems that the rumors are true.

The Emperor was worried about Princess Zhenguo living alone outside the palace, so he gave her many personal guards to be deployed at any time.

But there is no official in Beijing who is not corrupt. Some people, when they passed the imperial examinations at a young age, might have been full of ambition and wanted to be a good official who was honest and upright and only worked for the benefit of the people.

But being too eccentric will not allow you to survive in this muddy water of Beijing. Not everyone who dares to speak up for justice can find someone who can help him in times of trouble.

Liang Chongyue naturally understood this truth. There are corrupt officials in every dynasty. As long as one is a human being, there will be greed. It is impossible to completely investigate them by investigation alone.

But these people ran into her hands today, and she wanted to teach them a lesson, and also find a way to get past her scumbag father.

Her scumbag father gave her some power, but she couldn't do too much, lest she arouse his suspicion. There was no better excuse to deal with these people than punishing corrupt officials.

This is also consistent with the impression that she was kind and benevolent in front of her scumbag father in the past, never easily using her power to oppress others, and naturally not familiar with the private affairs of the officialdom.

Liang Chongyue stretched out her fair and beautiful hand and pointed at the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in front of her:

"Since you all really don't want this princess to take over the national treasury, I'm afraid you've all been involved in corruption. Let's start with this sharp-eyed Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
