When Liu Mingzhi heard Ren Qingrui's words that if the evidence was conclusive, he would not cover it up, the stiff look on his face relaxed slightly and he smiled slightly.
Taking out the pieces of rice paper he had just put away from his sleeves, Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui with a chuckle.
"Your Majesty is worthy of being the mother of a country with a motherly deference to the world. I admire you. Since your Majesty just mentioned the issue of solid evidence, I happen to have some accounts related to the renovation of the imperial mausoleum. I have asked your Majesty to review them."
"The reason, the right and wrong, I think even though I can't explain it clearly, I will definitely understand it after reading it."
When Ren Wenyue and the others saw Young Master Liu taking out the rice papers again, they were already panicking. When they saw Young Master Liu handing the rice papers to Ren Qingrui without hesitation, they suddenly felt confused and wanted to grab those rice papers right away. to destroy.
However, in their desperation, they forgot that there was no use in destroying some accounts as the general ledger of the Account Department was there.
Others don't know the accounts compiled by King Bingjian on the rice paper, but they are quite clear about it.
Although there are slight differences, the difference is almost not significant.
Once the charges are proven, no one can save their lives.
Ren Qingrui's pretty face was startled, and she stared blankly at the rice paper that Young Master Liu handed to her, hesitating whether she should take it over and check it out.
Although he arrived a little late and didn't know what was going on in the imperial court, looking at the ashen expressions on the faces of the officials except his father, Ren Qingrui knew that this trip through troubled waters would not be that easy.
If it's not good, even the mother of a country will be caught by her uncle.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui's hesitant expression and slowly took back the rice paper in his hand: "Your Majesty, if your Majesty doesn't want to see it, don't delay me from handling matters in the court."
Liu Mingzhi put the rice paper back into his cuffs and turned to look at Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and the others.
"Detain him on the spot and take him to Zhao Prison to await trial."
"Got the order!"
"etc!"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Ren Qingrui, who looked slightly anxious: "Does your Majesty have anything else to do?"
"King Bingjian, even if there is some evidence to prove that these courts may be corrupt and bending the law, His Majesty should take care of the matter of escorting them to Zhao Prison. They are all fourth-rank officials in the court. King Bingjing bypasses Your Majesty and directly takes action without permission. Isn’t the handling a little too authoritarian and domineering?”
"The world is your Majesty's world, and the dragon is your majesty's dragon. If King Bingjian behaves like this, does it mean that your majesty doesn't even take it seriously?"
"Although you are the king of Yizi, but dealing with the fourth-rank officials of the current dynasty is not within the scope of your vassal's authority."
Liu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed and he started pacing in front of Ren Qingrui with his hands behind his back.
"Since your Majesty has talked to me about the Dragon Law, I will forgive you for being disrespectful and talk to your Majesty in a good manner."
"First of all, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War are under the control of the auxiliary minister of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War. As officials of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War, they are suspected of corruption and perverting the law. I have the right to detain them to cooperate with the trial of the Three Laws Division."
"If they are truly honest and upright, and are not afraid of the shadow, I believe that the Sanfa Division will definitely give them justice."
"I have no grievances against any of my colleagues, and I am willing to believe that I, the Great Dragon, governs the country in a clear and honest manner, and my officials are honest. Naturally, I will not deliberately suppress my colleagues and put them to death."
"Secondly, since your Majesty has mentioned that I am tyrannical and domineering, I can only speak boldly. When it comes to my tyrannical behavior, I am afraid that My Majesty will be even worse than I am."
"Since your Majesty is the mother of a country, I think she has already read Taizu's order by heart."
"In this case, I dare to ask your Majesty, what is your explanation for the statement that the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics?"
"Your Majesty did not come to court, and the empress's phoenix body appeared alone in the court hall, which is a violation of Taizu's order."
"Now the empress is obstructing the ministers from handling the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs under the control of the ministers, which is suspected of interfering in politics."
"The harem's involvement in politics should be abolished."
"I hope your Majesty will have some pity for herself and not wade into muddy waters for no reason!"
"I...I..."
Ren Qingrui's pretty face condensed, and her breathing became rapid as she looked at Liu Mingzhi who looked at her with no intention of giving in.
Previously, he could refute anything Liu Mingzhi said.
But Liu Mingzhi took out the warning on the stone tablet of Emperor Taizu Gao admonishing his descendants outside the palace and questioned himself. For a moment, he really didn't know how to respond.
Sometimes beauty really can't be eaten.
Although Ren Qingrui is a beauty in the world, she is only 16 years old after all. When it comes to speaking skills, she is probably beyond the reach of Young Master Liu, a veteran in the court.
Liu Mingzhi stated truthfully and used Taizu's order to put pressure on him. Ren Qingrui's mind changed rapidly and she still didn't know how to stop Young Master Liu's behavior.
"Queen, if there is nothing else, I will deal with it impartially."
"Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu, why are you two standing still? Why haven't you captured these rebellious officials who are suspected of corruption and perverting the law?"
This time, Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and others didn't pause at all. They went up and grabbed Gao Jingyuan, He Zhang and the others, twisting their arms.
"My Queen, I have been wronged. Please seek justice for me."
"stop."
Ren Qingrui watched Cheng Kai walking toward his father Ren Wenyue with the rope and hurriedly shouted and stopped. However, Cheng Kai kept walking and his face did not change at all. He raised his hand and twisted Ren Wenyue's hands behind him. The rope in his hand was skillfully Ren Wenyue Wuhuada was tied up.
Seeing this, all the officials in the palace were stunned. They looked at Young Master Liu who was standing with his hands behind his back, and then at the anxious-looking Queen Empress who was standing on the steps of the dragon platform. They were all confused for a moment and didn't know what to say. !
While Ren Qingrui was stunned, Ren Wenyue and the eight or nine officials named by Mr. Liu were tied up with ropes by Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu in a matter of seconds.
Cheng Kai kicked Gao Jingyuan, who was still trying to struggle: "Be honest and follow this general to Zhao Prison. Maybe there will be a chance to redress your grievances. Otherwise..."
Although Cheng Kai didn't finish what he said, the threat in his words was far more threatening than what he said clearly.
Gao Jingyuan and the others couldn't help but shudder when they looked at the coldness in Cheng Kai's eyes.
For the first time, these civil servants felt how terrifying the aura exuded by the generals who were killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood was.
Just one look made him and others feel chilled to the bone.
Seeing the coherent movements of Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu, Ren Qingrui's pretty face completely changed color and she hurriedly walked towards the foot of the dragon platform.
"Do you two still have the royal law? This is the Qinzheng Palace. Without His Majesty's will, who would allow you to tie up the important ministers of the court?"
"I order you to untie them immediately."
Cheng Kai and the others glanced at Young Master Liu and then at Ren Qingrui. Each of them pulled a rope and dragged Ren Wenyue and the others towards the outside of the palace.
"Junior Guards, His Majesty's order is here to capture these two lawless people."
When Ren Qingrui saw that Cheng Kai and the others were not even showing any dignity to themselves, Ren Qingrui hurriedly took out a gold medal from her arms and held it up in her hands, looking anxiously at the guards stationed outside the palace.
The imperial guards outside the palace looked at the gold medal in Ren Qingrui's hand, and immediately drew out the saber from their waists and pointed it towards Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and the others surrounded them.
Upon seeing this, Ye Baotong, Song Qing and the others stood up and walked towards the palace gate, looking coldly at the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were surrounding them.
The twenty-three generals exuded a terrifying evil spirit, which made the surrounding imperial guards swallow their saliva involuntarily.
Cheng Kai tightly grasped the rope in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the surrounding guards.
"You little bastards, your knives are sharply sharpened. Have you ever killed anyone?"
When the civil and military officials in the palace saw this scene, their expressions suddenly changed with shock, and their eyes became complicated as they looked at Liu Mingzhi standing in the center.
"You are so brave. If you see your order, you will rebel. Do you want to rebel?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui holding the token and trying to step forward, then he raised his steps and stopped in front of Ren Qingrui.
"Empress, I hope you will take care of yourself."
"If you interfere in the government affairs again, I will be rude!"
