The enchanting queen of the three realms

Chapter 60

Hearing that Empress Qing was going to listen to the government behind the curtain, everyone started to talk about it. Since ancient times, men have always been in charge of political affairs, so there is no place for women to intervene. Isn't that what the old saying goes, women are virtuous without talent.I'm afraid that the Qing empress' limelight will surpass the emperor's. If something happens to the emperor, it will be the Qing empress who will benefit in the end.

Listening to politics with a curtain refers to the fact that the queen mother is in front of the court to listen to politics, and the hall is covered with curtains.The new emperor, due to his young age, cannot make a correct judgment on the affairs of the court, so he needs the queen mother to listen to the government behind the curtain to help the emperor temporarily manage the state affairs, but the current empress Qing is not like this. This didn't put the emperor in the eyes at all, nor did it put the imperial power in the eyes.There are some people who support the Green Empress, and there are quite a few who oppose the Qing Empress to listen to the government behind the curtain. On the first day of the Qing Empress's reign, some dissatisfied ministers naturally made things difficult for her.Qingzhu knew this a long time ago, so before going to the court, she had already checked the details of those veterans of the government. As long as someone opposed her words, she would adapt to her own circumstances, so as to help herself resist those difficult words.

Qing Zhu sat beside the dragon chair, the front was covered by a curtain, Qing Zhu could see the ministers below clearly, but the ministers couldn't see clearly who the Qing Empress was.

"Ministers, because the emperor has important matters to deal with, so I have not been in court for the past few months. Please forgive me. This palace is entrusted by the emperor to listen to the government behind the curtain. I hope that there is no harm in speaking directly if you have any important matters. This palace will definitely deal with it fairly." Qingzhu said to the ministers.

"The minister will definitely assist the empress with all his strength." All the ministers said.

"I have something to play," said Ling Heyang, the servant of the central government, who stepped forward.

Qing Zhu asked, "What is Master Ling doing?"

Ling Heyang, the servant of the Central Department, did not expect that Queen Qing would know his name. He thought that Queen Qing must have worked hard before going to court, but she did not expect that Queen Qing was also a cautious person. good thing.Ling Heyang said the content of the opening ceremony in detail, "During the past ten months, there have always been healthy young people who disappeared without any reason in the city, and their whereabouts were unknown. I was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case, and finally got a clue. "

Qing Zhu asked, "Any clues?"

Ling Heyang, the Minister of the Central Department, said, "Three months ago, the minister found some bones in a wasteland at the back gate of the prime minister's mansion, and some bones were also found in the wasteland at the side gate of the palace, which completely match the appearance and characteristics of the clothes worn by the missing person. Ling Heyang, the servant of the Central Department, took out a scroll from his cuff, held it in front of his chest and said to Empress Qing, "This is the proof that the family members of the deceased identified the bones. All of them have been marked by the family members. Please have Empress Qing take a look."

Qing Zhu opened the hand scroll and saw that it was full of names and fingerprints. Qing Zhu closed the hand scroll and asked the servant of the central government, "I still have some doubts. Didn't Master Ling just say that he was missing within the past ten months? He died for ten months. , how could it become a corpse? At most, it would be a rotting corpse, did Master Ling use the wrong vocabulary because he was too tired to investigate the case recently?"

Ling Heyang, the Minister of the Central Department, said, "This is not a slip of the tongue, but a fact. This is also the most strange part of this case. It is not appropriate to say that it is a corpse. I have seen these corpses, and they look more like mummies."

All the ministers were in an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. Such a terrible thing happened in this city, which made everyone panic.I'm afraid that my family will also end up like this.

"Everyone be quiet, I will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom, and give everyone a peaceful life." Qingzhu also felt strange when she heard this, "What clues can we find on this corpse?"

Ling Heyang, the servant of the Central Department, shook his head and said, "I can't find any clues."

Qingzhu was taken aback, "What is the meaning of this, sir? How could the clues not be found?"

Ling Heyang, the servant of the Central Department, said impatiently, "Because there are no wounds or knife marks on this mummy except for some dry skin."

Before Ling Yanghe, the servant of the Central Department, had finished speaking, a minister suddenly shouted, "How can it be possible that so many people died without any scars on their bodies? This is simply the work of monsters. It must be because someone has blasphemed the gods, so they must be punished by the gods. God wants to cut off our queens, so he will release monsters to capture the strong men."

"Pa" Qing Zhu angrily slapped the chair with his hands, and shouted at His Highness, "Stop talking nonsense here, superstitious. Who is it that was yelling down there just now, please report your name."

The number one scholar was frightened by Queen Qing's yelling, so he quickly knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "I ask the empress to make amends, Chenchen is the new number one in the list this year."

Qingzhu waved his big hand and said to the Imperial Forest Army outside the hall, "Come here, pull out this champion man who doesn't know the rules, superstition and knowledge, and beat him with a hundred sticks."

"Empress, please be merciful." The prime minister hurriedly stepped forward to intercede for Zhuangyuanlang. "It's the first time for Zhuangyuan Lang to go to court, and he doesn't understand the rules of the court. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent. I ask the empress to give a light sentence."

"Those who don't know are not guilty? According to the prime minister, Zhuangyuanlang's nonsense is just because he doesn't understand the rules of the court? A champion, so superstitious, he doesn't know where he has read the four books and five classics, so superstitious Can a person who speaks without thinking be the number one scholar?" Qingzhu looked at the prime minister and said.

"This..." the prime minister was speechless for a moment.

"This is the end of the matter of the champion man. Whoever intercedes for the champion man will be punished together with the champion man." Qingzhu turned to the central minister and said, "Master Ling, it seems that this matter is not trivial, and he will retire from the court in a while Afterwards, you stay here and tell me the details about it.”

"Yes." Central Minister Ling Heyang said.

Qingzhu asked all the ministers, "Who else has something to say?"

Everyone shook their heads to indicate that there was no book to play.

"Since there is no book to play, let's retreat." Qingzhu said to the ministers.

Just after everyone left one after another, except for Ling Heyang, the servant of the central government who was left behind by Queen Qing, who was still in the hall, there was one person who did not leave.That is the general of the sea.

Seeing that there was still one person who hadn't left, Qing Zhu asked, "Who is the one who hasn't left? What do you want to tell me?"

General Hai saluted and said, "See the empress, this minister is General Hai Zhengming, I have something important to say."

"It turned out to be General Hai. I have heard about General Hai for a long time. I heard that General Hai is very powerful and holds a golden mace. Every time there is a battle on the border, as long as General Hai goes out, he can win without losing. It is really powerful. "Qing Zhu was full of praise for Hai Zhengming.A mortal can be so powerful, he is also a capable person.

General Hai was so praised by Empress Qing, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Hey, my minister is just a bit stronger than ordinary people. Hey"

General Hai's honesty made everyone laugh.

"Hehe, General Hai is not only powerful, but also very humble. He really looks like a general. I wonder what General Hai wants to tell me?"

General Hai said, "Lord Ling just said that someone was missing in this city, and I suddenly remembered something. Since the Prime Minister was present, I dared not say it, so I waited until everyone had left."

Qing Zhu asked, "What's the matter?"

General Hai said, "Actually, not only healthy men are missing in this city, but also women are missing. It is the prime minister's daughter who suddenly disappeared a few months ago. I don't know where to go. I asked the prime minister many times, but the prime minister avoided answering. I think this must be related to the disappearance case in recent months."
