Is there really such a chance? "Zhang Yi still doesn't believe it.
Pizhe said: "Your Majesty, just wait for the opportunity!"
Ever since Zhang Beichen went to sea to search for immortals, Yan Qingwu began his career as a Buddhist emperor. When nothing happens, he will be managed and left on standby, and most government affairs will be left to the prince to handle.
She spends most of her time practicing in seclusion.
In the palace, the cleansing room.
New eunuchs who enter the palace must purify themselves here. This is a lifelong shadow for many eunuchs.
A newcomer was led here. Unlike the other people who were frightened, there seemed to be no trace of fear on his face, but instead seemed a little calm.
Father-in-laws have long been accustomed to this. Some people have no idea what they will face next. The ignorant are fearless.
"Drink!" The father-in-law asked the newlyweds to drink hemp powder. Dayan's palace was relatively "merciful" than the palaces of other dynasties, and at least gave the eunuchs some anesthetic.
The man drank Ma Fei Powder, and then it was time to use the knife.
Many people will still wake up in pain and scream.
But the man gritted his teeth tightly, and even though his veins were bulging and he was covered in cold sweat, he never screamed!
"You are a cruel person!" the father-in-law said in surprise, "What is your name?"
"Back to father-in-law, my name is Liu San." The man said.
"From now on, you can call me Mistress." My father-in-law said, "You can bear it, but there are not many people who can bear it. You go to recover from your injuries, and when you are healed, you will follow my father-in-law."
"Thank you so much, father-in-law!" The third son thanked him quickly.
So, he successfully entered the palace.
This person is the Turkic Khan, Dadatta. After he put on the wolf skin, his appearance completely changed. In order to take revenge, he even gave up his life just to stay in the palace.
Another ten years passed.
[There is no news from Zhang Beichen and he has never returned from the sea. 】
Everywhere in Dayan is still prosperous, but this prosperity has changed a bit.
Hao Ziyi went to Donghu to visit relatives. After leaving Yanjing, he found that many refugees appeared in Dayan's territory.
She distributed food to the refugees and asked, "Fellow fellows, how did you end up like this?"
The refugees sighed and said, "We are all farmers. A few years ago, there were floods that flooded the farmland. We had to sell our fields to landlords and do farm work for others to make a living. Now we are old and cannot I had to work, so I was abandoned and had to beg for a living.”
Hao Ziyi continued to move forward, and she saw that outside Yanjing, there were not only refugees, but also some bandits and robbers.
And these places are obviously very wealthy.
After careful questioning, Hao Ziyi learned that most of these people were farmers who had lost their land. Due to natural and man-made disasters and other circumstances, they sold their land to local wealthy people or nobles, and they became slaves from then on.
"The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and there are people freezing to death on the road! How did Dayan become like this?" Hao Ziyi was a little confused.
She wanted to ask Zhang Beichen, but Zhang Beichen had not returned home for more than ten years.
In Yanjing City, Prince Yan Ming, who was handling government affairs, also discovered this situation.
"The taxes collected from various places are getting less and less, and the military expenditures of the border guards are increasing. From time to time, disaster situations are reported to some places."
"The officialdom of Dayan needs to be rectified!"
[The prince believes that the situation of adultery among officials and nobles in Dayan is particularly serious, and requests a strict investigation. 】
A choice appeared in front of Yan Qingwu.
[Support the prince to strictly investigate and severely punish corrupt officials! 】
[For the sake of stability, turn a blind eye. 】
[To appease the prince and warn the ministers. 】
Yan Qingwu naturally chose to support Yan Ming's strict investigation.
[Yanming began to strictly investigate the corruption of officials at all levels and in various places. Within a few months, hundreds of officials were killed or detained, which shocked the court. Hundreds of officials complained and criticized the prince. 】
Yan Qingwu suppressed it and continued to let Yan Ming investigate the case.
In the East Palace, Yan Ming discovered the seriousness of the problem after investigating the case.
This palace looks magnificent, but it is already full of moths!
Because of the prosperity of Dayan, there have been countless incidents of enriching one's own pockets and bending the law for personal gain, which also involved many high-ranking officials in the DPRK.
Many times, the people investigating would die unknowingly, making it impossible for Yan Ming to continue the investigation.
When Yan Qingwu learned of the situation, Long Yan was furious.
"It's been peaceful for a long time. Don't these ministers know who I am?"
She once again summoned the Shadow Guards, giving them the power to investigate the case and give them the power of life and death.
"Anyone involved in corruption, no matter who they are, will be investigated and dealt with. If the circumstances are serious, they can be killed first and then punished!" Yan Qingwu said coldly.
"yes!"
[The shadow guards began to take action, arresting and killing a large number of officials. There was a trembling wind in the court, and everyone was in danger for a while! 】
Yan Qingwu knew very well that she could not be soft-hearted at this time and had to kill them all, otherwise Dayan would probably collapse due to internal problems!
It’s the day of the imperial examination again.
Students from all over the country gathered in the capital, hoping to get a spot on the gold medal list.
Among them was a lonely scholar named Hong Jin. His ancestor was once a small nobleman, but later declined. By the time he arrived, his family was completely destitute and had no money to eat.
Hong Jin had great literary talent, but he failed to pass the exam many times. This time was his last attempt.
After staying at the hotel, the students began to move around.
There were also people looking for Hong Jin to go with him.
"What are you doing?" Hong Jin asked.
"Of course we are going to visit the examiner!" the students said.
"Why visit him?" Hong Jin was puzzled.
"Hahaha, you don't know this. No wonder you haven't passed the exam after several years!" Someone said, "According to the rules, you must be filial to the examiner. If you have a background and are more filial, you will naturally be able to win the title. If you don’t have money, no matter how talented you are, you will never pass the exam!”
"How could this be possible?" Hong Jin was angry, "I have been studying hard for ten years just for today. The examiner should select talents based on their individual talents..."
Everyone didn't listen to him at all and all went to visit the examiner.
Hong Jing felt uneasy. He was penniless and how could he have the money to pay homage? He had no choice but to bite the bullet and pay a visit.
However, the examiner's house slave saw that he was poorly dressed and kicked him out.
The imperial examination was held as scheduled, and Hong Jin wrote a large article with great vigour. He is extremely confident, thinking that he will definitely be able to go to high school this time and honor his ancestors.
When the day came for the results to be released, Hong Jin waited patiently, but his name never came.
"This year's number one scholar is here!" Finally, it was revealed that the number one scholar was a disciple from a wealthy family who had no knowledge or skills.
Hong Jin knew him and couldn't even recognize his words! Only because someone in his family was a high-ranking official in the court, he was able to win the top prize in high school.
At this moment, Hong Jin was extremely angry.
"Why did I study so hard but get nothing? This is not fair!" Hong Jin was unwilling to give up and ran to the county government to complain.
"What's the matter with you?" the county magistrate asked Hong Jin.
Hong Jin said with an angry look on his face: "I want to sue the examiner of this year's imperial examination. He committed malpractice for personal gain and accepted bribes..."
"Another lunatic, come here, hit him with a slap in the face and drive him out!" The county magistrate didn't even bother to listen and gave the order directly.
"yes!"
Hong Jin received a severe beating and was thrown out of the county office like garbage.
"These people deserve to die!" Hong Jin was extremely angry inside.
"This bullshit Dayan should not exist!"
At this time, Hong Jin saw a chrysanthemum blooming in the corner. On a whim, he wrote a poem with his own blood at the gate of the county government office: "When autumn comes on September 8th, after I bloom, hundreds of flowers will kill. Soar to the sky." The incense array penetrates Yanjing, and the whole city is covered with golden armor."
After writing this poem, Hong Jin passed out.
After a while, a
The Taoist walked over and saw the bloody poem at the gate of the county government office.
"Interesting, really interesting!" The Taoist saved Hong Jin.
"Who are you? Why do you want to save me?" After Hong Jin woke up, he saw the Taoist in front of him and asked.
"I am a poor Taoist, Master Tianxing." The Taoist smiled and said, "You and I are destined to be together."
"What kind of destined person!" Hong Jin was even more confused.
"Do you still remember the poem you wrote?" Tianxing Taoist asked.
Thinking of the anti-poetry he had written, Hong Jin broke out in a cold sweat. He was too carried away at that time! Said: "I didn't write any poems, what are you talking about?"
"You don't need to explain. Just like you, I am a person who is dissatisfied with the Yan Kingdom." Taoist Tianxing said, "I have practiced Taoism for many years and have made some achievements. I have been watching the sky these days and nights, and I know that Yan's luck is about to end, and Emperor Ziwei The stars are twinkling. And although you are in rags, the sky is full, and a purple energy is rising from the top of your head."
"Hong Jin, you have the looks of an emperor!"
"What, don't scare me!" Hong Jin was frightened by him.
"Hahaha. Don't be afraid. Just take a good rest here with Pindao first, and you will understand later." Tianxing Taoist comforted him.
In the East Palace, Yan Ming discovered a major case.
Including selling officials, smuggling salt and iron, misappropriating the national treasury, even misappropriating money for disaster relief and river embankment maintenance, leading to the death of hundreds of thousands of people, any one of them is the crime of punishing the Nine Tribes.
In order to investigate clearly, he spent a lot of effort, and many of his capable men died.
Finally, he found the information.
The subordinates held the evidence and lowered their heads. They were frightened and did not dare to report.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yan Ming asked his subordinate.
"Your Highness, this matter involves too much..." The subordinate was still hesitating.
"I won't ask you a second time!" Yan Ming said coldly.
"It's Prince Li!" His subordinates presented evidence, which showed that the person behind these people's exams was actually his younger brother, Yan Li!
"What? How dare he do such a thing?" Yan Ming was furious, "It's okay to be arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but he actually decided to do this!"
"Your Highness, if the law is enforced impartially, it will be a crime of beheading!" The subordinate reminded in a low voice, "This matter must be handled with caution!"
Yan Ming thought about it all night and finally decided to ask someone to take Yan Li to the East Palace.
"What's wrong? Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Yan Li still looked carefree.
"Kneel down!" Yan Ming scolded.
"Kneel down? Are you crazy? You are the crown prince, but you haven't ascended the throne yet!" Yan Li refused to accept.
"Look at this, kneel down!" Yan Ming threw the evidence in his face. After reading it, Yan Li turned pale and knelt on the ground.
"Do you know how much trouble you have caused? If Your Majesty finds out, she will definitely kill you!" Yan Ming knew his mother's character very well.
In the eyes of the people, Emperor Yan was kind and loving, but as Yan Qingwu's biological son, Yan Ming knew it very well.
In fact, Emperor Yan doesn't care about the life or death of other people at all. Even the minister she trusts most can kill at will. She has been trained as a cold-blooded killer since she was a child.
The only person in the world who could make her change her mind was their father Zhang Beichen. But Zhang Beichen went to sea to look for immortals, but there was no news.
"Brother, you have to save me! You must not tell your mother!" Yan Li begged, "If she knows, I will die!"
"I can't save you!" Yan Ming cursed.
Yan Li still begged, "Brother, do you want to see your own brother die?"
Yan Ming was unmoved.
Yan Li begged for a long time to no avail. He simply stood up and said crazily: "Brother Emperor, do you think I am the only one involved in this matter?"
"Who among the Grand Tutor, Right Prime Minister Li Fu, and General Qing Bai has never been corrupt?"
"What? What did you say?" Yan Ming was horrified. These people were all loyal ministers who followed Emperor Yan all the way. If they were all involved, he didn't know how angry Emperor Yan would be!
「
That's them! "Yan Li said, "If you want to kill me, if you insist, I will surrender to my mother and confess them all!"
"You!" Yan Ming was angry and anxious, and finally said: "Just wait for me, I will go with you!"
Yan Ming brought Yan Li, who was tied up, to see Yan Qingwu.
As soon as he saw Yan Qingwu, Yan Li kept kowtowing until his head was bruised and bloody, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, my son deserves to die!"
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Qingwu realized something was wrong and asked.
Yan Li didn't reply, so Yan Ming had no choice but to say, "Mom, he was involved in all those major cases."
"What? You are looking for death!" Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwu stood up suddenly and cursed angrily.
"Not only the son, but also the Taifu, the right minister and the general. The son is confused for a moment!" Yan Li wants to drag all these people down so that he can save himself.
"You said them too!" Yan Qingwu's tone already contained murderous intent.
"Mom, calm down!" Yan Ming also knelt on the ground and said quickly: "Mother, this matter is important..."
"Shut up!" Yan Qingwu didn't give him a chance to explain, and shouted, "Bring all these people here!"
"Yes!" The Shadow Guards set off immediately.
Not long after, these people were all brought back.
They all knew what happened, and all of them turned pale and knelt in front of the temple.
"Li Fu, tell me. I heard that you sold your official position and got a title. Zhang Beichen is not here. You have grown up!" Yan Qingwu seemed very calm on the surface at this time, but the more she acted like this, the more frightened Li Fu became. .c
He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am obsessed with ghosts and have made a big mistake. I am willing to be punished!"
Yan Qingwu looked at Qing Bai again and said, "You are not bad either. You embezzled military pay and lied about the enemy."
Qing Bai knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime!"
"You deserve to die!" Yan Qingwu cursed.
She finally looked at Tutor Guo Guang.
Guo Guang is her teacher, educating and assisting her since childhood. After the founding of Dayan, Guo Guang also received extremely high treatment. Relying on Yan's luck, he even broke through to the holy realm and extended his life for hundreds of years.
At this time, Guo Guang was also ashamed.
