Empress: Living In The Mountains, My Daughter Praised Me As A God
Chapter 27: Battle In The Court, Heshen Arrested
A few days flew by.
Yaoshen Valley's work efficiency was extremely high, and the disaster relief supplies were quickly exchanged.
When Lu Bing and Du Ruhui returned with supplies, Gu Yanwu and his group used space rings to collect the supplies and went straight to major disaster areas.
Today, in the court hall, the King of Zhenbei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Censor Zhongcheng and others were all waiting for the empress to come to court with a joking look on their faces.
"Haha, Your Majesty! According to my subordinates' investigations in the past few days, Your Majesty has not made any big moves. I guess there is nothing we can do!"
"Your Majesty's great cause is about to be completed. After today... I'm afraid the position of the Empress will have to be moved!"
"Subordinates, I would like to congratulate you in advance on your enthronement!"
Faced with the flattery of the gangsters under his command, King Zhenbei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing disdain.
"Why is she, a stinky bitch, fighting with me? Just rely on that old immortal Li Chunfeng? Who the hell is he!"
"Although I, Liu Zhi, am not as strong as her, Liu Qingxue, the power behind me is beyond her reach!"
Yan Song, the Minister of Personnel, and He Shen, the Minister of Hubu, and others suddenly nodded and bowed.
In fact, several of them are filled with contempt!
They are all human beings, so they can naturally see that the King of Zhenbei is actually not as capable as the Empress.
He may seem domineering, but in the final analysis he is just a second-generation ancestor of the heavenly rank who made use of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
But I can’t stand someone who has an awesome mother and a strong background!
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit.
They are all from aristocratic families, and they have a clear view. As long as it can bring benefits to them, it doesn't matter who they help or who is the emperor!
So when it's time to fawn, you still have to fawn. If you make this guy happy, the benefits will naturally be huge.
"That's it! The prince is so majestic and handsome, but has so much trouble in his heart. How can a woman compare to him?"
"That's right! When His Majesty took office, the old ministers disagreed in every possible way. However, the late Emperor insists on doing this, and we can't do anything about it!"
"Actually... I have only one master in my heart, and that is you, the prince!"
After listening to what everyone said, King Zhenbei was extremely satisfied.
The upper and lower heads were almost raised to the sky.
At this time, the eunuch roared loudly, shocking everyone and returning to their seats.
"Your Majesty is here!"
After saying this, Liu Qingxue, who was dressed in a dragon robe with incomparable nobility and coolness, sat on the dragon chair majestically under the protection of Shangguan Yan.
"Go to court!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
All the officials worshiped and shouted.
Liu Qingxue's face was expressionless. This group of people shouted long live, but in fact they wished she died suddenly.
"My dear friends, if you have something to do, please leave the court!"
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial!"
Qin Hui, the censor Zhongcheng, stood up again and continued to speak at the empress's signal.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask if there is anything you can do about the disaster relief matter that was reported to me three days ago by your Majesty?"
"The disaster is greater than the sky. Your Majesty cannot just sit idly by and ignore the victims. This is really not the behavior of a wise king!"
Qin Hui sighed and hissed as he spoke, seeming to sympathize with those people very much.
As soon as he opened his mouth, many officials continued to make a fuss about disaster relief.
Keep putting pressure on Liu Qingxue!
Facing their aggressiveness, the empress listened expressionlessly and did not answer.
Even the Minister of War and others who were subordinate to her closed their eyes and lowered their hands, standing there with the old god in mind.
Seeing this, many officials on the Zhenbei King's side frowned, and Liu Zhi also looked unhappy.
This is not the result he wants to see!
In his mind, today's empress should be panicked and helpless when faced with the crowd's pressure, and in the end she would helplessly beg them for more time.
But why...are you so indifferent?
Is she going to be shameless and shameless?
King Zhenbei coughed lightly and walked out with a sense of bewildered confidence.
He looked at Liu Qingxue with playful eyes and asked loudly.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't I give you an explanation? The late emperor passed the throne to you not to do whatever you want!"
"If His Majesty's virtue is not up to par... I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. We will never sit back and watch the people be in dire straits!"
"And three days ago, His Majesty personally promised to solve the problem in the disaster area. You are not joking!"
Hearing Liu Zhi's provocative words, the empress opened her eyes slightly and looked at him with her cold eyes.
"Why do I need to explain to others my actions throughout my life?"
"How can I do this willfully? You don't need to care about the disaster area. I have already sent people there with supplies!"
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight! How can I make fun of the common people? You just need to wait for the good news!"
The empress's confident words made everyone's expressions change.
Censor Zhongcheng, the Minister of Household Affairs and others looked at each other in shock.
Seeing the empress being so confident, King Zhenbei frowned and felt something bad in his heart.
"Isn't there nothing in the national treasury? The Ministry of Household Affairs also has no funds. How will your Majesty get the materials to provide disaster relief?"
"How come we don't know when His Majesty sent someone there?"
There was a bit of contempt on the corner of the empress's lips: "I have my own way to get supplies, but do I have to report to you, King Zhenbei, for my work? You don't have such a big reputation!"
Seeing the two people's tit-for-tat attitude, all the officials remained silent.
For fear of being affected by the two of them, even the senior officials headed by Qin Hui, Yan Song and Shen did not dare to say anything.
"you..."
Zhenbei King Liu Zhi was so angry at Liu Qingxue's tough attitude that his face turned livid.
Turning his eyes, he looked at He Shen angrily, as if asking him why he wanted to give him supplies.
He Shen spread his hands with an innocent face and looked back.
'My lord, didn't all the money from the household department go into your pocket? Where did I get the things to give her? It's unfair! Could it be those old immortals who put it together?'
Liu Zhi took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and he realized this after being reminded by the other party.
Liu Zhi clenched his fists in anger, wishing to chop Li Chunfeng and others.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty has a great Divine Ability, but...are your resources enough to provide disaster relief and rebuild the disaster area?"
"There is no need for King Zhenbei to take care of this. I have my own solution! In addition...I have to deal with a big thing today!"
After saying that, Liu Qingxue's originally cold face became a bit more chilling.
"Come here! Bind He Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, for me!"
After giving the order, Commander Lu Bing immediately rushed in with his two deputy commanders.
The three of them held the spirit-binding rope in their hands and tied He Shen into a rice dumpling with lightning speed.
This incident also made everyone change their minds and didn't understand what happened.
When the Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice, as well as the Censor Zhongcheng, wanted to stop him, they were stopped by the fearless King of Zhenbei.
King Zhenbei said softly to a few people with a playful look on his face.
"It doesn't matter! With me here, I want to see what she wants to do today, kill the chicken to scare the monkey? Did she kill it?"
Several people looked at each other and stepped aside.
He Shen was kicked behind the knee by Lu Bing and immediately knelt on the ground, looking at the empress with an angry look.
"Your Majesty! Why did you kidnap me?"
"Heshen, can you plead guilty?"
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, I am a veteran of two dynasties. I have been working diligently and diligently for the Bingling Kingdom. I gave all my youth to the Bingling Kingdom. What crime do I have to do!"
He Shen raised his head and glanced at King Zhenbei, and responded confidently.
The empress snorted disdainfully: "You really want me to tell you? Commander Lu, since Mr. He has not pleaded guilty, it is up to you to pronounce the verdict!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Lu Bing cupped his hands, took out a pamphlet from his arms, stood in front of the empress and faced everyone, and pronounced his verdict with murderous intent:
"After a comprehensive investigation by Jin Yiwei, it was found that Heshen, the Minister of Household Affairs, used his power when he was the governor twenty years ago to embezzle five hundred thousand taels of military pay, resulting in the army being defeated and losing southern Xinjiang without military pay."
"After being promoted to the governor of Sizhou fifteen years ago, he embezzled one million taels of silver from disaster relief funds, causing more than 70,000 people in Sizhou to starve to death!"
"Fourteen years ago..."
...
"After being promoted to Shangshu ten years ago, he successively embezzled a total of 7 million taels of stolen money, and transferred all the tax resources of the Ministry of Household Affairs three years ago!"
"There are 72 pieces of evidence in total. The evidence is overwhelming. I would like to ask Mr. He... what do you have to say?"
Lu Bing's face was expressionless, as if he had facial paralysis, like a machine without emotions.
After listening to his reading, He Shen felt cold all over and his face turned pale!
Half a second later, He Shen raised his head and roared angrily at Lu Bing, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"That's nonsense! Shen and I have been honest in our lives. How have we ever done such a thing?"
"Lu Bing, I'm warning you, don't give me false evidence, otherwise neither I nor the prince will be able to spare you!"
After saying this, King Zhenbei also turned his gaze over, his eyes like daggers, stabbing Lu Bing's cheek.
"I advise you to think clearly. This king is not comparable to your little royal guard. Besides... I hate people who make up nonsense the most, and I appreciate people who understand current affairs the most!"
The threats and solicitations in King Zhenbei's words were undisguised.
But Lu Bing didn't care at all: "Don't admit it? Do you think what you did is airtight? Paper cannot cover the fire!"
"Here, please bring Liu Biao, the Minister of Household Affairs, here!"
After hearing Lu Bing's order, a middle-aged man soon walked in from outside, shook his robe, and knelt down respectfully!
"Liu Biao, Minister of Household Affairs, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
When He Shen saw the person coming, his face was ashen.
