Ziji City, Zichen Palace.
Jiang Chengwan put down the memorial in his hand and asked in a deep voice to the three Xuanwu guards who were kneeling on the ground not far away:
"Have you checked it out?"
"Back to Your Majesty, no matter how big or small everything Xia Yan did during his tenure, the three men in this humble position have all been investigated."
The Xuanwu guard in the middle spoke back, then took out several documents from his arms and handed them to the eunuch beside him.
After receiving the signal from Jiang Chengwan's eyes, the eunuch hurriedly handed the document to the empress.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Chengwan picked up the document, opened it and read it.
After getting used to reviewing memorials, she read documents much faster, and she read most of the contents of these documents in just a few times.
Most of this content is everything Xia Yan did for Yongchuan County during his tenure.
"What a Xia Qingtian who is devoted to the people!"
After seeing what Xia Yan did in Yongchuan County, Jiang Chengwan immediately sighed in admiration.
"Lu Aiqing's judgment is indeed correct. Then Xia Yan is really a first-rate good official!"
To be honest, at first, like everyone else, she believed that the evidence in Xia Yan's case was solid and there was no need for a retrial.
Lu Chen was only deceived by Na Xia Yan, so he stood up to vouch for him and asked for a retrial of the case.
It wasn't until Fang Ping discovered that there were huge doubts about Xia Yan's embezzlement and bribery to Shangguan that day that she realized that something was wrong with the case, and she began to pay attention to Lu Chen's unwavering decision.
And now, with the help of the Shenxing Division's speeding formation on the official road, the Xuanwu Guards rushed to Yongchuan, thousands of miles away, to find out the news, which completely proved that Lu Chen's judgment was right.
In the whole court, he was the only one with a sharp eye who could see the real gold in Xia Yan!
Putting down the last document about Xia Yan's governance, Jiang Chengwan's eyes suddenly flashed with joy. She didn't know whether she was happy to find a good official, or happy that Lu Chen had proved himself.
Then she picked up the remaining paperwork and looked through it carefully.
However, after seeing the content above clearly, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, her pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, and a chilling coldness gradually filled her face.
"The Wang family, the Xie family, the Liu family of Yongchuan... and Hu Yan, the previous magistrate of Yongchuan County, can be so shameless and exploit the common people. These local wealthy families and honest ministers really opened my eyes."
Snapped!
The moment the words with murderous intent fell, there was only a loud sound, and the documents behind him were thrown aside heavily.
"Come here, prepare your horses and ride to the Xuanji Gate!"
Jiang Chengwan stood up suddenly and ordered vigorously:
"Immediately notify the Shenxing Division to activate the Huangji Dao and activate the Tianxing Formation and the Yaya Formation!"
The evidence is conclusive. At this time, she no longer needs to talk nonsense with these extremely hypocritical two-faced people, she can just kill them directly.
And now is the time.
"yes!"
A group of eunuchs and guards responded hurriedly, and then started working quickly.
Soon, a beautiful female official in palace attire came to the outside of Zichen Hall, leading a majestic horse with a red mane and golden eyes.
Also accompanying him were eighteen top-notch sweaty horses.
Jiang Chengwan got on his horse, and then, escorted by a group of Xuanwu Guard masters, he galloped towards the Xuanji Gate along the Huangji Road in Ziji City.
As a divine horse that only the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth is qualified to own, has ancient bloodline, and can feed on the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, Ji Liang is naturally far from ordinary horses. Not only is he tall, he looks extremely majestic, and he looks extremely powerful. Moreover, he is extremely fast and has extremely strong endurance. He can run eight thousand miles continuously. He also has dual heaven-level spiritual veins of thunder and flames, and has a very strong ability to protect his master.
It is even said that the auspicious quantity can extend the life of those who ride it.
Even though Jiang Chengwan had controlled his speed, it was still extremely difficult for the eighteen sweat-blooded horses behind him that were also blessed by the Tianxing Formation to catch up. You can imagine how fast they were traveling.
Not long after, Jiang Chengwan arrived at Xuanji Gate, which was nearly twenty miles away from Zichen Palace.
After dismounting, she threw away the riding crop in her hand, and then, surrounded by a group of Xuanwu guards, she walked quickly towards the auditorium where the three ministers would convene.
When she arrived at the entrance of the auditorium, before the guards and auxiliary officers at the door bowed in surprise, a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly came from inside -
"The king is the boat; the people are the water!"
"As we all know, when sailing on water, you should walk on thin ice, and you cannot be too cautious. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and everyone will die! This is the reason why water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it! How dare you say that, Mr. Hu? It doesn't matter how the people are doing? If the people don't matter, how can there be anything important in this world?"
"And from my point of view, the imperial court is not only your majesty's court, but also the people's court. The people are the food and clothing parents of the court. Without the people, how can the court come to the court? Hu Langzhong, as an official of the imperial court, your salary and salary are all the people's blessings. , You who enjoy the offerings of the people all the time can actually say such treasonous words?"
"Hu Langzhong! Where is your conscience?!"
It's Lu Chen's voice!
This voice that once brought her a glimmer of light when she was most lonely had been deeply engraved in her bones when she fought against the Queen Mother Zhao's Ling Tianfeng power, and it was absolutely impossible to admit her mistake.
But after hearing Lu Chen's words, she suddenly trembled, and then stood there blankly as if possessed by an evil spirit, murmuring incessantly.
"The king is the boat...the people are the water..."
"Water can carry a boat...and it can also overturn it..."
"The court is not only the court of the Jiang family, but also the court of the people..."
"Without the people...there would be no court..."
"There is nothing more important in the world than the people..."
"..."
She repeated Lu Chen's words repeatedly, and for a moment she was completely obsessed.
What a shocking and wise saying!
The palace attendant at the door was about to inform the people inside to welcome the Holy Emperor, but was stopped by a stern-faced woman from the Xuanwu Guards brought by Jiang Chengwan.
The woman shook her head at them, signaling them not to disturb the people inside.
Seeing this, the palace people immediately did not dare to act rashly and stayed where they were waiting for Jiang Chengwan's order.
What Lu Chen said just now was not only heard by the empress, but also by all the Xuanwu guards.
After all, they are first-class warriors responsible for protecting the Empress, and their hearing is different from ordinary people.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, their expressionless eyes moved almost at the same time, and they subconsciously looked towards the door, with a hint of longing and admiration in their eyes.
After the woman stopped the palace man, she returned to Jiang Chengwan whose eyes gradually regained clarity.
snap...
Only a soft sound was heard, but Jiang Chengwan quietly clenched his fists, and an excited flush appeared inexplicably on his charming little face.
