Chapter 25 Debate between right and wrong

Xie Qingyun slept for two whole days.

When I woke up on the third day, things were as usual. I didn't even mention what happened before, I only talked about what I had to do today.

"I haven't approved some of the news from the Ministry of Punishment yesterday. They will be delivered to me before breakfast."

Xie Qingyun said while letting Runliu change her clothes.

She looked down at her thickly wrapped arms: "Am I sick again?"

Run Liu's men gave him a meal, it should be.

He added: "But your Majesty has never hurt anyone."

Xie Qingyun responded with a chuckle.

Hearing that the emperor was awake, Yunyang waited outside the door early.

Waiting to ask the descendants of the Xue family how to deal with it.

But he didn't wait for Xie Qingyun to come, only for Runliu to come.

"Your Majesty doesn't remember the imprisonment that day. You can go back."

"forget?"

Yunyang asked anxiously: "What about the people in prison? Kill them?"

Runliu thought for a moment: "Are you sure this is the last descendant of the Xue family?"

"Definitely." Yunyang said firmly.

In fact, this person is not even a descendant of the Xue family.

He was the son of Xue Chuan's cousin, and his name was not included in the family tree at all.

If someone hadn't reported it, they would definitely not have found this person.

Runliu said: "Let's lock him up first. There is no need to torture him for further interrogation."

After all, this is the last descendant of the Xue family.

If you want to completely untie His Majesty's heart, I'm afraid he will be useful one day.

After Runliu finished giving his instructions, he heard Xie Qingyun calling him.

He hurriedly turned around and walked back to Xie Qingyun.

Xie Qingyun glanced outside: "What are Yunyang doing here?"

Runliu said: "I came to greet His Majesty."

Xie Qingyun said oh.

As smart as she is, she guessed one or two reasons: "Is my illness serious this time?"

Runliu didn't hide it from her: "Yes. You have been comatose for three days."

Xie Qingyun hummed and stopped asking: "Let's go to court."

I haven't been to court for three days, so I must have accumulated a lot of things to deal with.

What Xie Qingyun didn't expect was that there were so many ministers attending court today.

After the previous bet, many of the ministers who raised their heads at the time took a leave of absence and did not come to court.

It appeared again today.

It must be because the Gu family and his son won the battle.

Xie Qingyun thought that the father and son would spend some more time together.

But it’s okay to win.

Let the fleeing people return home early.

As expected by Xie Qingyun, as soon as the morning court started, Wei Su, the Minister of War, reported: "A great victory at the border. The Gu family has now defeated the Mongols and is recovering the lost cities bit by bit."

Xie Qingyun nodded and asked: "If I remember correctly, the leader of Mongolia should be Chiboge now, right?"

Wei Su hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, that's right."

Xie Qingyun smiled: "Don't he have a younger brother?"

"Let Gu You find a few eloquent people to negotiate. Ignore Chiboge and talk to his brother."

"He said that if he is interested, I, Da Qi, can support him as the new leader of Mongolia."

"As long as he is willing to surrender to me, I will not only help him seize the position of leader, but I can also choose a princess in the clan to marry him."

Wei Su hurriedly lowered his head and responded, "I will pass the letter to Gu You right now."

Some of the ministers nodded and let out a sound of admiration.

The best way to disrupt your enemies is to provoke internal fighting among them.

Xie Qingyun's move was indeed brilliant.

Even Huicheng, who was not familiar with state affairs, couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing Xie Qingyun's words.

Sure enough, after ascending the throne at the age of eight, and having been the emperor for ten years without falling, how could Xie Qingyun not be as outstanding as her?

Xie Qingyun seemed to be in a good mood and even said congratulations to His Highness and the ministers.

"Anyone who made a bet with me before will not have to be beheaded." She joked.

But no one dared to answer her words, and the hall instantly turned from lively to dead silence. "."

This time Xie Qingyun was speechless.

Don’t these people understand humor?
Just when the emperor and his ministers were embarrassed, Liu Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs who could not read the atmosphere, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xie Qingyun straightened her expression: "Say."

Liu Yan said: "In the past few months, many refugees at the border have gone south, and some time ago there were people giving porridge outside the city. Now a large number of refugees have crowded into the capital. Many of them can't find anything to do, so they start stealing. His business has caused unspeakable misery to the people of the capital."

Huicheng caught the key word and was stunned.

Porridge?

Is there anyone else besides him who is also giving porridge?

Without waiting long, his questions were quickly answered.

Because Liu Yan looked at him and said: "The Imperial Master rushed to give porridge at this juncture, which makes people wonder if he has other motives."

Huicheng: "."

He finally realized that the person Liu Yan was talking about was him.

When Liu Yan spoke, the group of officials in the Supervisory Yuan could not sit still.

Especially before, the emperor summoned the monk to the imperial study every day, and the two of them stayed there all day long.

They had long wanted to prevent the monk from continuing to be favored before things became irreversible.

So several censors from the Supervisory Council criticized Huicheng.

Xie Qingyun frowned.

The group is at it again.

Buzzing like flies, annoying.

It was the first time that so many people criticized him, Huicheng couldn't argue for a while, and stood there in a daze.

He obviously did something good, but why was he impeached?

But before Huicheng could speak out to defend himself, a group of ministers headed by Hong Du, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, took the lead in rebutting.

"The national preceptor is a monk, and it is his duty to do good. If he doesn't give out porridge, how can he go to war?"

Hong Du said: "Moreover, the money used by the Imperial Master to give out porridge is the money His Majesty allocated to him to build a house. If he doesn't build a house to give out porridge, which selfish person in the world can do this?"

Except for Liu Yan, who was notoriously ignorant of the world, everyone in the Sixth Department basically came forward to support Huicheng.

After all, it is true that since Huicheng appeared, the emperor no longer killed innocent people indiscriminately.

They were too late to be grateful, so how could they criticize him?

The two parties held their own opinions in the main hall and refused to give in to each other.

The twittering, like buying vegetables at the vegetable market, caused Xie Qingyun to have a headache.

"Shut up."

Xie Qingyun finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Her voice was not loud, but enough to silence everyone instantly.

"The Imperial Master is giving porridge. He has discussed this matter with me in advance and it is with my consent."

Xie Qingyun glanced at the ministers, and her eyes fell on the most cheerful officials of the Inspection and Supervisory Board: "Do you want to convict me?"

Several officials immediately shut up.

Although the greatest pride of being an official is to give advice to death.

But based on previous experience, their current empress didn't mind being called a tyrant if she killed Yan Guan.

It's better to keep this life for now.

However, although Yan Guan stopped talking, Liu Yan was not easy to dismiss.

He is a person who only accepts death: "That is His Majesty's dereliction of duty."

"The refugees were fleeing. Your Majesty didn't think of a way to resettle them. He actually allowed the imperial adviser to give porridge in the suburbs of Beijing. Didn't you think of the consequences?"

After he said this, even Hongdu, who was standing on the opposite side just now, started to sweat for him.

It's not that Liu Yan is not afraid of death, it's just that he is too stunned, one-minded, and can't turn around when doing things.

Previously, he focused on managing money and ignored political affairs and had no opinions, so he never had any conflict with Xie Qingyun.

Now that the matter involves his household department, Liu Yan's shortcomings are finally exposed.

There was dead silence in the hall.

Suddenly there was a chuckle.

It's Xie Qingyun.

She is not angry.

Instead, he said frankly and clearly: "What Liu Shangshu taught me is that I didn't think enough about this matter."

 Updates have resumed.The previous text has not been changed, only the introduction has been added, so you don’t need to read it back.
