Chapter 125
Gu Shihai did not expect that Ye Qinghuai would push the Ministry of Punishment into his hands, leaving him at a loss as to how to say the words that were already on his lips.

For a moment, neither did he kneel down to accept the order, nor did he refute it aloud.He didn't move, and the others didn't dare to move, so the stage fell into an awkward stalemate.

Ye Qinghuai didn't feel annoyed, she said to Gu Shihai: "However, Mr. Gu Ge is right about one thing. Speaking of flattery, do you know why Du Jing would take such a risk under my nose? Hands-on with the case?"

Without waiting for Gu Shihai to answer, Ye Qinghuai took out Gu Haiwang's longevity lock from her bosom and put it on the case.

Gu Shihai was the closest to her. He lowered his head and took a look before he recognized what it was, and his expression suddenly changed.

Ye Qinghuai turned to Du Jing and said: "Du Jing, I came here today to give you this item according to my promise, but you broke your promise first, so I can only keep this item."

Gu Shihai was confused by her series of ambiguous remarks, he turned his head to look at Du Jing, his eyes were full of puzzlement and anger, as if he was asking why he didn't discuss with himself earlier.

Du Jing kowtowed to the ground immediately, and said to Ye Qinghuai, "Your Majesty, this matter is the guilty minister's own idea, no one else's!"

"I know it's your idea alone." Ye Qinghuai looked at him, paused for a while and said again, "I see that you've worked so hard for Mr. Gu Ge, but he doesn't know anything about it, some of it is because of your injustice. "

After finishing speaking, Ye Qinghuai slowly put the longevity lock back into her arms.

Gu Shihai watched her movements the whole time, and the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.

But Ye Qinghuai turned a blind eye to it, and said to Gu Shihai: "It's a troubled time right now, and all ministries are short of people. Mr. Gu Ge, please work hard, and first add the Minister of Punishment."

Gu Shihai withdrew his gaze, and slowly loosened his tightly clenched right hand. He lifted his front swing, knelt on the ground and said, "My minister leads the order."

His words are quite a bit like a strong man breaking his wrist.

Only then did Ye Qinghuai nod his head, and said, "Mr. Gu Ge, get up quickly. I can rest assured that there is Mr. Gu Ge in the Ministry of Punishment."

After finishing speaking, she stood up, walked to the edge of the execution platform, and said loudly to the people around her: "I reiterate here today, I will establish the country with the law, the emperor breaks the law and the common people are the same crime, no matter who dares to challenge The majesty of the law, I will punish you without mercy."

The cry of "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" erupted from the crowd.

Ye Qinghuai stood on the stage, looking at these people in plain clothes, but his expression became more and more serious.

Only she knows how difficult it is to put this easy-to-speak slogan into practice.
-
At night, Ye Qinghuai flipped through the notebooks piled up beside the desk in Jingshou Palace.

During the day she had been working on Du Jing's case, and the papers piled up until evening before being approved.

Fortunately, there were not many notebooks sent up, and Ye Qinghuai finished approving them very quickly.

"These useless things are presented all day long." Ye Qinghuai said after closing the last copy of greetings.

Ye Qinghuai sighed, and said to Li Baoquan: "Li Baoquan, you go to Huisheng Pawn tomorrow and send a message, saying that nothing has happened recently, let them all rest, and those who can withdraw will withdraw."

Li Baoquan was a little surprised, and asked, "Does Your Majesty think that Commander Tao has not handled the affairs effectively this time?"

Ye Qinghuai shook his head and said: "Of course not. On the contrary, it can be said that it is all thanks to Yingwei to be able to go so smoothly this time. It's just that Mr. Gu Ge stumbled a lot today, and he will definitely check the eyeliner around him when he goes back. Afraid Tao Yuan's people would break in."

When she said this, she thought about it and said again: "But you are right, I will make such an order suddenly, it will inevitably make Tao Yuan think too much. How about this, you have another word, just say, this time he is the For the first time, I want to reward him with something, ask him if there is anything he wants, if he doesn't say anything, then I will reward him with some medicinal materials and utensils from the treasury."

"Your Majesty has thought carefully." Li Baoquan said.

"Li Baoquan, there is one more thing." Ye Qinghuai stopped in the middle of speaking.

Seeing her stop, Li Baoquan said: "If your Majesty has any concerns, you can tell this old slave. I dare not say that I can share your majesty's worries, but maybe I can help you think of a way."

"You really have to be able to share my worries with this matter." Ye Qinghuai looked up at Li Baoquan and looked at her in surprise, and asked him with a smile, "Do you have a lot of work on hand now? Can you come over quickly?" ?”

"It's okay, because the Zuo Yawei was a little busy earlier, after General Zhao was transferred to the You Yawei, it will be much better. However, after His Majesty gets married and has a master in the harem, maybe he will be a little busy." Li Baoquan replied.

Ye Qinghuai nodded thoughtfully, and said: "I have an idea, I want the inner court to undertake part of the work of presenting the memorial."

The inner court is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the legacy of the ancestors.

Li Baoquan turned pale with shock, he looked at the emperor with some doubts, but saw that the emperor's eyes were full of solemnity, and there was no intention of joking at all.
-
After Du Jing was released from prison, all matters were transferred to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal. Zhao Yinshi was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Army because of his meritorious service in this matter, and participated in the trial of the case together with Li Wenqing, the censor of supervision.

Ye Qinghuai didn't stare at this matter anymore, her eyes quickly shifted to another important matter.

Chun Wei.

Chunwei's three subjects had already been tested, and under Ye Qinghuai's continuous urging, the candidates' papers were copied within two days and handed over to the Taiqing Pavilion for review by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelors.

From the day the papers entered the Taiqing Pavilion, Ye Qinghuai went to the Taiqing Pavilion every day after the court, and personally checked the reviewed examination papers.

According to the emperor's request, this batch of examination papers must be approved within five days.

The bachelors of Taiqing Pavilion ushered in a large-scale collective overtime.

Among them was Lu Yanchen.

At Ye Qinghuai's insistence, Lu Yanchen served as the chief judge of the Mingshu Division [-].

The first subject of Mingshu is about literature and history, which is different from Mingfa and Mingshu. Mingshu has many questions without standard answers, such as questions about history and policy theory, so it is also most likely to be subject to the subjectivity of the examiners when marking. A subject of cognition.

Generally speaking, because the subject of Mingshu involves the concept of governing the country and the idea of ​​governance, most of the subjects will be presided over by older scholars with old qualifications.

Because of this, when Ye Qinghuai nominated Lu Yanchen, he was questioned by many officials.

"The imperial examination is to select talents for the country. The selected people have to serve in various ministries and implement the orders of the imperial court. They are the people who want to implement the will of the government. These people must be able to understand and agree with my ideas. Only by walking on the same road with me can I carry out my will well. Looking at the entire Taiqing Pavilion, is there anyone who understands my ideas and ideas better than Lu Yanchen?"

Ye Qinghuai's rhetorical question was well-founded, and no one could answer it.

Thus, Lu Yanchen became the youngest presiding judge in history.
