Everyone was silent.

Especially those who had made small movements, at this moment they felt their legs go weak and cold sweats broke out on their backs. They wanted to beg for mercy on the spot, but they didn't have the courage.

The person who made the report also looked pale.

If the Queen Mother knew all along, then everything he said and did... would definitely not be hidden from the Queen Mother's eyes.

The clown is himself!

"Sir Shen." Xie Yao looked at the person who made the memorial, and accurately read out the official titles and surnames of several other people. They looked at each other, their faces becoming increasingly paler.

But he still moved his feet silently and arrived at the center of the Golden Palace.

After Xie Yao called out the names one by one, she said, "Lord Xuan told me that they are short of manpower to promote the new seeds. You should all go under Lord Xuan's command and help."

Several people widened their eyes in disbelief. They didn't expect Xie Yao to make such an arrangement.

A few people even secretly rejoiced in their hearts. What kind of thing was this? A blessing in disguise?

If I had known this earlier, wouldn't I have...

While they were still thinking, they heard Xie Yao say slowly: "As long as the new seeds are known to everyone, you gentlemen will not have to return to the capital."

If you like to work, then go to the grassroots level.

The secret joy on the faces of several people froze, and they were petrified in an instant.

This, this, this isn't a reward, this is a punishment. But they already felt guilty, and Xie Yao's attitude didn't allow for discussion. They were almost crying, but they didn't dare to say anything.

After Xie Yao finished giving the order, she saw that no one was saying anything, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you unwilling, my dear ministers?"

Some people really wanted to cry.

How could they dare not to? How could they say no? They could only say with a mournful face, "Your Majesty, we obey your command and thank you for your grace."

Only then did Xie Yao smile.

She glanced around again, looking at everyone in the court, and said, "If any of you would like to contribute to the new seed project, please come to me directly."

"I will definitely make it happen."

"The Queen is wise." All the court officials said in unison.

Xie Yao smiled and announced the adjournment of court.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji walked side by side towards the Yangxin Palace. Xiao Ji held Xie Yao's hand and said, "The Queen is wise."

Xie Yao glared at Xiao Ji, "Your Majesty, are you making fun of me?"

Xiao Ji immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention."

Xie Yao snorted, thought for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, I was the one speaking at the morning court today, and you..."

She wanted to ask if Xiao Ji had any thoughts in his mind.

Xiao Ji took over Xie Yao's words and said, "Yes, my Yaoyao is really great, so I can be lazy in the future... and not attend the morning court."

Xie Yao immediately glared at him, "Xiao Ji!"

Xiao Ji quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's go together."

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again.

On that day, in addition to those who plotted against Xuan Yue and were sent to plant corn, several officials were also sent there, but their official positions were too low and they did not need to attend the morning court.

The reason was very simple. These people secretly bribed Xuan Yue, expressing their desire to serve Xuan Yue.

Since he was willing to do such a job even if he was paid, Xie Yao was naturally happy to oblige him.

In addition to these people, several court officials were dismissed from their posts and their property was confiscated. The evidence of their crime was accepting bribes. Of course, not all court officials on the list suffered such severe punishment.

There were also some provincial officials who not only did not receive punishment, but were appeased by the emperor and empress.

Of course, this only applies to those officials who work diligently and conscientiously, who are not rich so they don't give much money to Xuan Yue, and whose only purpose is to make the people under their rule live a better life.
