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

As soon as Liang Chongyue said this, Wei Fang's knees went weak and he fell to the ground, unable to utter a word.

The black-robed guards around Her Royal Highness the Princess could even find out the year, month, and place of Lord Fu's embezzlement and the amount of money, let alone him, a mere Assistant Law Officer of the Taichang Temple. How could he escape this disaster?

If I had known earlier, I would not have followed Fan Wubing and agreed with him. I thought I could go to Prince Shu to receive the reward after the court session. Now it seems that my life is over.

The secret guards of Sifangtai received the dispatch order from His Majesty almost at the same time as the commander went back to mobilize people, asking them to wait for the arrangements of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Now that His Highness said to investigate these two people first, they naturally put down the half-finished information in their hands and looked through the information of these two people.

As the abacus clattered, Liang Chongyue observed the two men's reactions with interest.

I don’t know whether these beasts are thinking about the despair of their own impending disaster, or regretting that they were only concerned with greed and indirectly murdered the lives of those innocent people.

A sound of footsteps came from behind, the kind of steady, small steps that were unique to eunuchs.

When Liang Chongyue turned around, Qi Deyuan came back with his men. The paper on the tray was gone, and what he brought back was a golden Qilin seal.

Qi Deyuan walked quickly with small steps, came in front of His Highness, and bowed deeply.

"Your servant pays homage to His Highness, and the Emperor has given the following instructions:

Today, I delegate authority to Chongyue. All you need to do is follow her instructions. Fu Antong has been corrupt and perverted the law, embezzling a large amount of compensation for Daxia soldiers. All confiscated property will be converted into cash to cover the compensation and then confiscated. As for Fu Antong, he will be beheaded outside Jingzhao Prefecture at noon tomorrow. All male children over ten years old in his family will be exiled to the frontier, never to return to Beijing."

After Qi Deyuan finished speaking, he stood up and took the tray from the eunuch behind him:

"Your Highness, this is the Qilin Seal that His Majesty specially ordered the Imperial Household Department to create for you. It's the only one of its kind in all of Great Xia. His Majesty said that if the Jade Seal and the Phoenix Seal are unavailable, this Qilin Seal is the most honorable. It can command all officials and mobilize the royal guards when necessary. This is the greatest honor and favor His Majesty has bestowed upon you."

Although Liang Chongyue didn't understand why her scumbag father suddenly gave her so many good things, it was not enough for him to just hand over the national treasury to her. He also specially made this Qilin Seal for her and let Qi Deyuan say these words in front of all the officials. It sounded like he wanted to make her the crown prince.

But this did not affect her. She knelt down neatly to accept the order and express her gratitude.

No matter what her scumbag father is thinking, if he wants to use her, he has to get what he wants first.

"Your Majesty, I deeply thank you for your kindness. I will never forget your teachings. Long live your Majesty."

Liang Chongyue knelt down and bowed deeply before standing up and accepting the Qilin Seal.

It is said to be extremely noble, but in fact it is very small, not even half the size of the jade seal of his scumbag father, and can be put directly into the sleeve.

Seeing that His Highness was so careless with the Qilin Seal, Qi Deyuan picked it up and casually stuffed it into his sleeve.

Thinking about it, His Majesty spent seven consecutive days in the Hall of Mental Cultivation discussing the design and construction with various skilled craftsmen from the Imperial Household Department.

I also referred to the several small sachets given by His Highness.

Qi Deyuan looked heartbroken and wanted to offer some advice, but the words were on the tip of his tongue.

His Highness has turned around to look through the evidence of these officials' corruption.

Qi Deyuan remembered that the emperor often said that although His Highness was very talented, he was too kind and benevolent. He was afraid that this was the first time he had encountered such a thing and he was too angry, so it was better for him not to disturb him.

The quarrel in Yikun Palace stopped after Qi Deyuan came with the thirty pieces of evidence.

"These people are worse than animals. They even dared to embezzle the pensions of the dead soldiers. If Chongyue doesn't investigate today, the spirits of those soldiers who died on the battlefield for Daxia will be heartbroken for the rest of their lives."

Xiang Huayue flipped through the thirty pieces of evidence one by one with trembling hands.

She was born and raised in the border area. What those patriotic soldiers loved most was to gather around the campfire after the victory of World War I, sing folk songs from their hometown, and chat about their wives, children and the elderly at home.

Share some rare broth and pancakes.

Of the millions of border troops, only three or four out of ten could return alive after a battle, and most of them had injuries that were almost fatal.

Having witnessed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, these soldiers were all good sons and daughters of their families before they joined the army. Now they die on the battlefield and cannot return to their hometowns. Even the last bit of security for their families is embezzled by such people.

"Fifteen years! Even if a person like this dies a thousand times, it will not be enough to undo the evil deeds he has committed."

Xiang Huayue read through the thirty sheets of evidence at a glance, fearing that if he slowed down even a little, he would get so angry that he wouldn't be able to continue reading.

"That's why I'm handing over power to Chongyue today. Corrupt officials like this should be wiped out without a single one left alive. This will also help Chongyue gain a good reputation in the hearts of the people."

These materials have been kept in the Sifangtai, and someone reports every ten days. Liang Zhan has long known that there are countless corrupt officials in the court, but if he orders a deal with them, the end result will only be that innocent people will take the blame and the corrupt officials will become more rampant.

It would be better to let Chongyue launch an attack in public in the court like today and trap people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Even if some corrupt officials are lucky enough to escape this disaster, they will restrain themselves for a while.

It is impossible to eliminate all corrupt officials, but it is absolutely impossible not to eliminate them.

Xiang Huayue has been with the emperor for so many years. When she was in love with him, she studied his preferences and personality every day and did everything according to his preferences.

Although he knows the emperor very well, he is also the person who knows him best in Daxia.

As long as Liang Zhan has decided on something, no one can stop him.

If Chongyue is destined to be involved in the fight for the throne in this life, then don't blame her for being restless as a mother.

In the battle for the throne, no matter who ultimately holds the imperial power, Chongyue can only avoid the new emperor's suspicion by handing over the power of the national treasury.

But with power falling into someone else's hands and no real authority at all, Chongyue might be in even greater danger.

How will the Xiang family deal with it then?

The more Xiang Huayue thought about it, the colder her heart became. The emperor held Chongyue high in his arms, forcing Chongyue to this point, and forcing the Xiang family to this point. If Chongyue did not fight, how could she have found a way to survive in this battle for the throne?

After Xiang Huayue thought it through, she looked so angry that she couldn't control herself. She leaned in the emperor's arms and sobbed softly, complaining that the world was unfair and that she couldn't kill such a person with a bolt of lightning.

Feeling the softness of his beloved concubine in his arms, Liang Zhan also put away the seriousness he had just argued with. He placed his big hand on his beloved concubine's back and gently stroked her to comfort her:

"I know my beloved concubine feels the same way. It's okay. Chongyue is here in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I have also issued an edict. Chongyue will surely understand my beloved concubine's feelings. This matter will be explained to the world."

Xiang Huayue lowered her eyes, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

But after the tears rolled down, there was a clarity and indifference in his eyes that had never been seen before.
