The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

The next day.

Led by Qingniao, Ye Qianxuan and Kong Zhongzhi entered the empress's study.

At this moment, three people were already standing in the huge imperial study - the Left Prime Minister, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Rites.

When the three of them saw the Minister of Taichang Temple coming in with a corpse tailor, they all looked strange.

Logically speaking, the internal discussions in the Imperial Study should only involve people from a single group!

They're not from the Civil Service Group, so why are they here?!

The three of them seemed to have some understanding in their hearts, but they could not guess the empress's thoughts.

At this time, the empress appeared.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed down together.

The empress waved her hand and said with a smile, "Today we are just chatting with our close confidants. Everyone, relax and don't be too formal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood and looked at the empress.

The empress did not sit down, but paced back and forth and said calmly:

"A few days ago, a fire broke out in the Taicang Office, burning all the winter grain in the capital."

"Everyone in the Taicang Office said it was a demonic dragon that set the fire, so I sent this corpse tailor to sew up the corpse and inspect it. Unexpectedly, he discovered a major problem!"

After An Luoyu finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qianxuan.

The three people from the Civil Service Group also looked at Ye Qianxuan together.

The air suddenly froze and you could hear a pin drop.

"Tell me about it."

The empress spoke lightly.

Kong Zhongzhi swallowed his saliva - my goodness, the empress is planning to use Ye Qianxuan as a gun!

Ye Qianxuan had the empress's leverage over him, so he had no choice but to step forward and act as a spear. He cupped his hands and said loudly:

"Reporting to Your Majesty! After my investigation, I found that Taicang's commander, Gong San, was killed and thrown into the sea of ​​fire. The torch that burned Taicang was also found at the scene. It was not a demonic dragon that burned the warehouse!"

The pupils of the three members of the civil service group immediately widened!

The Left Prime Minister and the Minister of Rites almost looked at the Minister of Revenue at the same time!

However, the Minister of Revenue Qian Jianan was extremely cunning and just narrowed his eyes - it was not the evil dragon that burned the granary, but also killed the Taicang Office Commander!

The corpse tailor's remarks were too obvious - he was almost pointing at his own nose and saying that you, the Minister of Revenue, deliberately burned the granary to cover up some truth about the Taicang Office.

How strange!

How could this corpse-sewers know about the flawless work I made?!

The empress called Ye Qianxuan over, which must mean she had solid evidence.

There is no use in being naughty, throwing tantrums and swearing at others!

Therefore, the Minister of Revenue, Qian Jianan, simply bowed to the ground and confessed generously: "Your Majesty, it was my poor management that caused this to happen. I cannot escape the blame!"

"I will go back and find out the truth!"

"No need, the truth has been found out by this corpse tailor." The empress said indifferently and looked at Ye Qianxuan again.

The Minister of Revenue's heart skipped a beat and he glared at Ye Qianxuan angrily.

The left prime minister also had a cold look in his eyes.

Bai Haiqiu was laughing secretly - OK! This corpse tailor has offended more than just him!

Ye Qianxuan bowed and said, "I learned from the Nine Gates Governor's Office that Gong San is the confidant of the Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu!"

"A few days ago, the Taichang Temple investigated corruption, and one of the accounts involved 'reselling grain and fodder'. It was the collusion between the Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu and Gong San!"

"The Right Vice Minister of Rites committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The Empress pardoned the Minister of Rites, but Bai Haiqiu was afraid that the grain trafficking would be exposed, so he killed him to silence him!"

"At the same time! I've also discovered that Bai Haiqiu is colluding with the demon clan, and there are demon assassins in his mansion!"

"The Nine Gates Governor's Office has evidence for all of this!"

At that moment, all three of them were stunned!

The Minister of Revenue's heart fell to the ground, and his face was full of joy at having survived a disaster - the blame could be put on the Ministry of Rites!

This Ye Qianxuan is really at war with the Ministry of Rites!

The left prime minister's eyelids twitched slightly, while his brain was working rapidly. He looked up and carefully observed the changes in the empress's expression.

But at this moment, the empress's expression did not change at all.

The Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu was dumbfounded!

Damn, this corpse tailor is really biting me like crazy!

Who is Gong San?

I don’t know him at all!

Where do you get the so-called evidence?

"Your Majesty! This corpse tailor is slandering us!" Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu immediately said, "That Gong San is clearly..."

"Keep your mouth shut! Listen to your majesty's decision!" The left prime minister suddenly spoke at this moment, using his righteous spirit to make the Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu shut up.

He is a great master of Confucianism and Taoism, his cultivation is much higher than Kong Zhongzhi, he can disrupt the law with words and make the law follow his words!

This Bai Haiqiu actually wants to bite the Minister of Revenue. Is he crazy?

At that moment, Zuo Cheng had already made a decision in his mind - sacrifice the rook to save the king!

Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu widened his eyes and could no longer utter a word. He already had a very bad premonition in his heart!

The Empress chuckled faintly, "Left Prime Minister, you say, not only did the Ministry of Rites accept bribes from students and embezzle the Imperial Music Bureau, but they even went so far as to seize the winter food supply for the people of the capital!"

"Every winter, thousands of people die of starvation in the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This year, tens of thousands will starve to death!"

"But the Minister of Rites is your subordinate, so it's up to you to decide what to do!"

The Left Prime Minister bowed down and said, "Such a corrupt official must be executed to appease the public's anger! Rectify the rules!"

"Bai Haiqiu, died!"

The Left Prime Minister now understood everything.

The empress wants to reshuffle the Ministry of Rites!

It doesn’t matter whether there is definite evidence or not. It is an established fact that the fire in Taicang Office burned the winter food in the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Someone must take the blame!

Anyway, either the Minister of Revenue or the Minister of Rites will die!

Now, the left prime minister can only cut off his arm to save his life!

It is better to kill the Minister of Rites who is already covered with lice than to kill the Minister of Revenue who is still clean!

It seems that the Ministry of Rites will definitely not be able to be saved today!

Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu widened his eyes and suddenly felt that he could not breathe or shout. He slowly fell to the ground and was completely silent!

The expression after death was full of unwillingness and surprise!

The empress waved her hand expressionlessly, and several eunuchs came up immediately and carried Bai Haiqiu's body out.

"Search the residence of the Minister of Rites immediately and find the demon!" the empress ordered.

"Yes!" Qingniao bowed and led his people away.

This time, the empress finally sat on the phoenix chair and said calmly:

"Corpse tailor Ye Qianxuan has made outstanding contributions in investigating the case and has been promoted to Xuanzi Ward No. 3. To prevent retaliation, I will grant you another guard. I will report to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Qianxuan bowed down.

Fortunately, the empress did not use herself as a gun and then throw herself away.

Sending such a guard is to warn the civil service group not to think about revenge.

The Left Prime Minister and the Minister of Revenue both raised their eyelids slightly and looked at Ye Qianxuan without saying anything.

But both of them were extremely shocked in their hearts - the weight of this corpse seamstress in the empress's heart was too great!

Being an imperial guard is an honor that only a very few people can enjoy in all dynasties!

"Once Bai Haiqiu dies, the position of Minister of Rites will be vacant."

"Coincidentally, I also summoned Kong Zhongzhi to the palace today!"

"He is the president of Anlu Academy. He made great contributions in solving the firewood shortage problem in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I want to make him the Minister of Rites. What do you think, Zuo Cheng?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" said the Left Prime Minister, bowing down.

The empress killed the Minister of Rites Bai Haiqiu just to give the Ministry of Rites a shakeup!

It was expected that Kong Zhongzhi would take the position.

Moreover, Kong Zhongzhi is at least neutral at the moment, which is better than being the confidant of the previous empress.

Therefore, the Left Prime Minister had no objection to this matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Kong Zhongzhi knelt down and shouted. He didn't expect that it was Ye Qianxuan who made the gun, but he was the one who benefited.

This is quite embarrassing!

The Minister of Revenue, Qian Jianan, clearly did not want the Empress to take the Ministry of Rites away so easily, so he bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the former Minister of Rites, Bai Haiqiu, burned down the Taicang Office. This year, the people of the capital will have no affordable food for the winter!"

"The Ministry of Revenue has no surplus at the moment and is unable to purchase grain from Southern Wu at a high price!"

The Empress frowned slightly: "What does Minister Qian mean by this?"

Qian Jianan said loudly: "Your Majesty, Dean Kong is very resourceful. Since he can solve the problem of firewood shortage in Dongzhou, he can definitely solve the problem of food shortage in Dongzhou!"

"Besides, this matter was originally caused by the Ministry of Rites, so it should be the Ministry of Rites that handles the aftermath!"

Qian Jianan directly put the blame on Kong Zhongzhi for the whole mess!
