"Okay!" the empress shouted, her cold voice resounding throughout the hall.
Cui Shugong hurriedly yelled at the guards standing on both sides of the palace: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly pull the adults away!"
A group of guards in front of the palace hurriedly stepped forward, and Liu Yijin took advantage of his last chance to kick Jin Bing, who was laughing wildly.
"The dignified ministers, chief ministers, and prime ministers are just like ruffians here fighting each other with fists and kicks, how dignified is it!"
The empress looked at everyone with cold eyes: "Don't you know how to be shameless? Do you want me to set up an arena for you?"
The empress' phoenix eyes flickered, and she looked at Liu Yijin coldly: "Liu Yijin, do you know you are wrong!"
Liu Yijin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake!"
"You will be punished if you make a mistake!"
Jin Bing on the side laughed again and again, and Gao Ju, the minister of the Ministry of Industry next to him, cried and whimpered.
Liu Yijin hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I had itchy hands and accidentally punched the prime minister twice. Please punish me!"
The empress slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Liu Yijin with an angry look on her face: "Liu Yijin, you are just a small long-term worker. If it hadn't been recommended by the prime minister, all officials would definitely think that I could recruit you to the capital. !”
"Liu Yijin, do you feel that you have made some achievements, killed several Maitreya Buddhist generals, and grabbed a few clues to feel that our Daqian Dynasty cannot do without you?"
The empress' voice was loud and cold, frightening all the officials into silence. Only the prime minister covered his black eyes and grinned, while Jin Bing's laughter and Gao Ju's cries came one after another!
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and save Jin Bing and Gao Ju!"
Liu Yijin made an ooh and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, stepped forward, and struck the two of them on the necks with his palm while everyone was looking at them in shock.
Looking at the two ministers who fainted, everyone twitched their mouths a few times.
The empress did not expect Liu Yijin's method to be so crude and simple. After opening her mouth a few times, she waved her hand helplessly: "Tell the imperial doctor to treat these two adults as soon as possible!"
Several guards in front of the palace came forward and carried the two of them to the side hall.
Liu Yijin looked at the empress's cold face and hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake, I will accept the punishment!"
"How about I fine you one year's salary as the medical expenses for the two ministers?"
"Wei Chen accepts the order!"
"You are punished to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express condolences to the Prime Minister once a day, without interruption, until the Prime Minister completely forgives you. Do you agree?"
"Weichen agrees."
Seeing how understanding Liu Yijin was, the empress hummed: "Okay, just stand in your position honestly."
When Prime Minister Liu Yong heard this, he thought this was not a punishment. Isn't this just scratching an itch? The housekeeper asked Liu Yijin to report to the Prime Minister's Mansion once a day. This is not an apology at all, this is obviously the empress spying on her.
Liu Yong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Liu Yijin is so barbaric. I don't want to see him at home again, so I'll skip this one-day visit."
The empress waved her hand: "No, this guy doesn't have a long memory if you don't give him some punishment. If something happens again in the future, you don't know how high the sky is!"
Liu Yijin also had a pious look on his face: "Prime Minister, please calm down. I also know my fault. From today on, I will definitely visit you every day."
"No!" The prime minister said to the empress: "Your Majesty, I am getting old now, and I don't want to see people I don't want to see. This Liu Yijin hurt me like this in front of the palace. I will never let him stimulate me every day again. .”
"Hey, Prime Minister, what you said is wrong." Liu Yijin walked forward with a smile: "You are the old man and I am the young man. I should respect you. Besides, I will also be responsible for hurting you. , I will definitely visit the house every day."
Liu Yong wanted to say something else, but the empress waved her hand: "Okay, enough trouble. Let's talk about business."
The empress took out some secrets: "This is the summary of the case about Maitreya Buddhism that I received. This time, the Supervision Department not only killed the two generals Zhang Bing and Xikun, but also dug out the secrets. There are four Maitreya Buddhist people lurking within the Supervision Department.”
"And I also learned that Liu Yijin has interrogated Mr. Wushuang, one of his three elders."
"Liu Yijin, is this happening?"
Liu Yijin's heart was moved and he couldn't help but glance at the empress. He hadn't summarized the facts of these cases yet, but the empress actually knew about them?
The empress' methods are really mysterious.
Liu Yijin hurriedly said, "There is indeed this matter, but it's just about Master Wushuang. I still need further investigation."
"but....."
Liu Yijin looked troubled: "Although Wei Chen is in charge of the Supervision Department, he often feels that he is unable to do what he wants, and even feels a little short of manpower."
The empress laughed angrily: "I gave you the entire Supervisory Department, and also gave you the Imperial City Guard Corps. Isn't that enough?"
Liu Yijin said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Some things still require the use of specialized talents."
"Then what are specialized talents?"
Everyone was also curious.
Liu Yijin coughed lightly: "Actually, after coming to the Imperial Capital for so long, I also discovered one thing. People in the world are often the most well-informed."
"The reason why Wei Chen directly closed Xinglong Street today is to defeat those dark forces on the one hand, and also to integrate resources on the other."
"Resource Integration?"
This fresh vocabulary made everyone feel very fresh, and the empress leaned forward slightly: "How do you say this?"
"Your Majesty, I actually feel that what the late emperor did when he was alive was resource integration."
"oh?"
As soon as he said this, the officials were slightly stunned.
The empress also looked curious: "Then tell me how to integrate resources."
Liu Yijin coughed lightly: "The so-called resource integration means taking the idle resources inside and outside the dynasty and making use of them."
"Although Wei Chen was born as a long-term worker, since His Majesty summoned Wei Chen to Beijing, it can be said that Wei Chen has been reading poetry and books day and night!"
Mengyao, who was standing by, burst into laughter, and Lan Yu'er, who was standing by, glanced at her hastily and whispered: "Bear it."
A strange look appeared on Liu Yijin's face: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen found something the late emperor once said in a book."
"Oh?" This time the empress was even more interested.
"Then tell me, what did the late Emperor once say?"
Liu Yijin said: "Wei Chen saw in the 'Xianqi Night Talk' that the late emperor once played chess with His Highness Prince Su. The late emperor asked: Prince Su, what do you think is the greatest power in the dynasty?"
"King Su said it was the power of the sword."
"The late emperor laughed and said that the people have the greatest power. The Daqian territory is vast, but there is Daxia in the north and barbarians in the south. Only by integrating the power of the people and unifying the abilities of all levels can the Daqian be used."
The empress and the ministers all looked at King Su. King Su was also dumbfounded. He had indeed played chess with the late emperor, but had he really said this?
"Uncle Su Wang, did your father really say this back then?"
King Su hurriedly said: "Reporting to your majesty, the late emperor did say this back then, but it has been a long time, and I have forgotten it."
"It's just that I've never heard of this 'Xianqi Night Talk'."
"Yes. I have never heard of this book, Chess Night Talk." Liu Yong covered his swollen eyes and stared at Liu Yijin: "Master Liu is so well-read, I wonder who this book is from. hand?"
Liu Yijin also sighed: "Weichen once wanted to find this author, but it has been so long that it is impossible to find out."
Well, for one reason or another, even if this book is not on the market, no one would dare to take it seriously.
After all, this is what the late emperor said back then.
Even if it is not true, it must be taken as true.
The empress nodded deeply: "Since it is what the father said, it is naturally true."
Liu Yijin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Xinglong Street, I believe that the late emperor allowed martial artists to establish martial arts halls in Xinglong Street. On the one hand, it was to promote martial arts, and on the other hand, it was to win over all the people in the world under the imperial power." under."
"And the reason why Wei Chen is rectifying Xinglong Street this time is to fulfill the late emperor's last wish for His Majesty, integrate resources, and serve the imperial power!"
As soon as he said this, even if someone in the court had any objections, they could only shut up at this time.
If we continue to sing the opposite tune, we are going against the late emperor.
Liu Yong on the side looked extremely embarrassed.
This damn Liu Yijin is scheming to get ahead of him step by step. If he is allowed to integrate Xinglong Street this time, once those Jianghu people are officially incorporated into Liu Yijin's command, based on his understanding of Liu Yijin, this guy will definitely They will use some means to keep those guardians in order.
Just as Liu Yong was about to speak, the Empress said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Liu Yijin knelt on the ground with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will rule the world for thousands of years!"
The empress was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "To dominate the world? You Liu Yijin, do you want me to be the co-owner of the world?"
Liu Yijin smiled: "Who says it's not the case?"
Seeing the two talking and laughing, even King Su couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.
This Liu Yijin's flattering skills are really well shot.
And this guy can do everything at the forefront!
Liu Yong on the side took a deep breath and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, my eyes are hurting more and more now, and I am even more confused here. I hope your Majesty can allow me to retire first."
Before the empress could speak, Liu Yijin said in a panic: "My lord, what are you taking care of?"
The Empress said with concern: "Since the Prime Minister is ill, you can go back and have a good rest first."
"I'll ask Liu Yijin to come and apologize later!"
Liu Yong waved his hands hurriedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. Mr. Liu still has a lot of things to do next, so I think it's better to skip it."
After retiring from the court, Liu Yijin and the others had just walked out of the court when they were stopped by Cui Shugong, "Sir, Your Majesty asked you to go to the palace to have a talk."
Mengyao was stunned: "Sir, does His Majesty always summon you in the palace?"
"Not entirely. I saw him twice in the Yangxin Palace last time, but I have also been to this dormitory."
"Have you ever entered His Majesty's palace alone?" Mengyao looked at Liu Yijin with strange eyes: "I really didn't expect you to be so favored."
