Chapter 7 You are guilty and deserve to die

"Master, is this the good news you told me?"

Zhou Chen closed the memorial, raised his head, looked at Taifu Yanhua gloomily, and angrily threw the memorial at Taifu Yanhua's feet.

"See for yourself, is this good news?"

"Didn't you say that the queen has issued an order to provide disaster relief and quell the civil unrest? But the people in the four northwest prefectures have exchanged their sons for food, and their bones have been piled up for thousands of miles. Where is the court's disaster relief money?"

"Why did the civil unrest that originally consisted of only a few dozen people eventually turn into a civil uprising involving hundreds to thousands of people?"

"Is this how you help me with disaster relief and quell civil unrest?"

Zhou Chen was furious.

He never expected that the disaster relief money allocated by the court was not used to relieve the people at all, so that the civil unrest eventually turned into a civil uprising, killing officials, grabbing food, and raising flags to rebel.

However, the local government did not calm down the civil unrest immediately, and it intensified, reaching the point where it is out of control today.

If he hadn't suddenly come to court today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that war had been ignited in his country.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Tutor Yanhua quickly picked up the memorial. After reading the contents, his face became ugly.

He did not expect that the situation in the four northwest prefectures would suddenly deteriorate to such an extent.

Damn it.

He has allocated more than one million yuan in disaster relief funds to the four northwest prefectures. Even if half of it is used for disaster relief and relief for the people, such a rotten situation should not occur in the four northwest prefectures!

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Tutor Yan Hua knelt on the ground with a thud, losing the confidence he had before.

He knew that as the person in charge of the disaster relief, he, the person in charge of the disaster relief, was probably to blame for the huge chaos that had occurred in the four northwest prefectures.

Even if he is one of the four ministers of the auxiliary country, his guilt this time is probably not light.

Because this is no longer a simple problem of inadequate disaster relief.

It was the failure of disaster relief that led to civil unrest, resulting in the fall of the two prefectures, and the situation in the four northwest prefectures became out of control.

Zhou Chen looked down at Grand Tutor Yan Hua angrily.

"You are guilty, and the crime cannot be punished."

Don’t think that if you take the initiative to plead guilty, he won’t punish you.

If it had not been for the inability of the imperial court to provide disaster relief, the four northwest prefectures would not have had the tragic situation of exchanging children for food and being riddled with bones for thousands of miles.

There will be no civil uprising, resulting in the fall of the two prefectures and the outbreak of war in the four northwest prefectures.

Who will bear the consequences?

"Here comes someone."

"The Taifu's failure to provide disaster relief resulted in the displacement of the people in the four prefectures in the northwest, and civil uprisings broke out all over the place. The Taifu was dragged down, thrown into a sky jail, and dealt with later."

Zhou Chen said coldly.

As one of the ministers of the great auxiliary state of Great Thursday, he can't even do small things like providing disaster relief and rescuing people.

What's the use of keeping a person like this in a corpse position?

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, the faces of the officials changed.

They thought that the emperor would punish Tai Fu Yan Hua for his inability to provide disaster relief, but they did not expect that the punishment would be so great.

You must know that Taifu Yanhua was one of the four auxiliary ministers left by the late emperor, and was the backbone of the imperial court.

The emperor actually wants to send Taifu Yanhua to a prison?

"Your Majesty, although the Taifu is not able to provide disaster relief, he is still an important official in the court and assists the country. Please show mercy to your Majesty."

General Wu Jin immediately stood up and interceded for Taifu Yanhua.

"Your Majesty, what the general said makes sense. The Taifu is an important minister of the country. Although he is fully responsible for this disaster relief matter, the local government is the specific implementer of the disaster relief. It is understandable that the Taifu was kept in the valley.

Please, Your Majesty, be merciful and punish the Grand Tutor lightly."

"Please, Your Majesty, be merciful and punish the Grand Tutor lightly."

…

One by one, civil and military officials stood up to plead for Taifu Yanhua.

Zhou Chen saw it in his eyes and remained unmoved.

"Drag it down."

"Whoever dares to plead for Taifu again will be dragged out by me and thrown into the sky prison."

When all the ministers heard this, their expressions changed.

No one dared to open his mouth to plead for Tai Fu Yan Hua.

They have never seen Zhou Chen, the emperor, so domineering and unquestionable.

They had no doubt that if they dared to plead for Tai Fu Yan Hua again, the emperor Zhou Chen would put them in the sky prison.

Tutor Yan Hua opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only let out a long sigh and was dragged out by the imperial army with a gray face.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak, it's that he can't speak.

He couldn't tell Zhou Chen, the emperor, that all the disaster relief money he allocated had been embezzled!

That is undoubtedly no different from seeking death.

"besides."

After Grand Tutor Yan Hua was dragged out by the imperial army, Zhou Chen glanced at the officials with a sharp expression.

"From now on, the power of the Queen and the Second Saint to visit the court will be abolished. From now on, the harem will not be allowed to interfere in politics. All matters in the court, big or small, must be approved by me."

What?

Abolish the right of the Queen and the Second Saint to visit the court?

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?

What is the emperor doing?

The officials all looked shocked, wondering what kind of medicine Zhou Chen, the emperor, was selling in his gourd.

It should be said that it was the emperor Zhou Chen's idea that the two saints came to court before.

Now it is being abolished.

Could it be that the emperor now feels threatened by the rights of the empress and the empress’s two saints, so he wants to take away the empress’s rights?

Some people with a keen sense of smell have already smelled an unusual smell.

They immediately understood why the emperor Zhou Chen had just sent Taifu Yanhua to the sky prison no matter how the general and ministers begged for mercy.

It turns out that the emperor is beginning to clear the queen's wings.

Who doesn't know that Tutor Yanhua is the Queen's wife?

In addition to Tai Tu Yan Hua, there was also General Wu Jin.

It can be said that two of the four auxiliary ministers in the court are the empress's wife.

This does not include other courtiers.

This shows how powerful the Queen is in the court.

There was something strange in Prime Minister Yuan Bo's eyes, and he glanced at General Wu Jin.

Originally, he wanted to see if General Wu Jin would stand up and object when he heard that Zhou Chen, the emperor, wanted to abolish the rights of the second queen to visit the court.

After all, General Wu Jin is the father of the country and the father of the empress. If the empress is deprived of the power of the Second Holy Emperor, the power and prestige of the relatives and the party will be greatly weakened.

As a result, the prime minister was disappointed.

General Wu Jin remained silent from beginning to end, showing no intention of standing up to oppose.

Other officials belonging to the queen's relative's party saw that General Wu Jin did not move, so they remained silent.

At this time, all the civil and military officials acquiesced to the emperor Zhou Chen's intention to abolish the rights of the two queens to visit the court.

From then on, Empress Wu Ying ostensibly officially ended her right to listen to government affairs before the court.

"alright."

"Now the ministers will tell you how to solve the problems in the four northwest prefectures."

"How to relieve the drought in the four northern states."

Zhou Chen saw that no ministers stood up and had objections, so he spoke again and looked at the ministers.

Originally, he was waiting for someone to stand up and play against him so that he could establish his authority!

In the end, not a single minister stepped forward.

This saved him a lot of trouble.
