Chapter 1,468
Before Ling Yu arrived in the imperial capital, many ministers complained one after another, accusing the empress of leaving the palace and being unsettled in the family, not abiding by women's ethics, having bad moral character, and not being worthy of a mother.
What's more, a group of old censors under the command of Zhao Hui used the matter of Ling Yu's opening of Trillium Hall to impeach Ling Yu for being profit-seeking, exposing herself to the public, and setting a bad example for women.
These old fools were dissatisfied when they saw female officials being promoted to the fourth rank. In addition, the women of the God City began to stand up straight because of this. Some brave maids and nuns asked the master to have equal pay for equal work and receive the same salary as the male servants. Same remuneration.
Ling Yu's departure from the palace this time has become a handle for them. If they don't use it to attack Ling Yu, how can they swallow this sigh of relief!
Xiao Lintian was furious at these accusations. The issue of equal pay for equal work had been settled and was approved by the fourth-grade official that day.
Now these old stubborns are using this to criticize Ling Yu, which makes Xiao Lintian unbearable.
"The queen went to Zhengzhou because of my special order. I was busy with spring plowing and couldn't get away, so the queen went to find King Pingnan and Lord An on my behalf. What's wrong?"
"The Trillium Hall opened by the Queen donates money and medicinal materials every time there is a crisis. The amount of money donated has been over a million taels. Is this what you call mercenary? How many silver taels have you donated to the country and the people?! "
Xiao Lintian sternly asked: "In the past, the Empress Dowager accompanied his wife on the emperor's horse to fight. Is it to show her face? The Empress Dowager is a heroine, resolving the emperor's worries and problems for his wife!"
"Why, the same behavior came to your mouth, but it turned into publicity and unruly behavior!"

Xiao Lintian was so angry that he took out the memorial sent by King Pingnan before, slapped it on the desk, and shouted angrily.
"Why are there riots in Zhengzhou this time? It's not Magistrate Wang and Mr. Zhang who are a party of corrupt officials who enslave the people and put them in dire straits."
"The river collapsed in Zhengzhou, destroying two villages and killing nearly two hundred people. Which of you officials, who are depriving themselves of the emperor's salary, have ever given a memorial to the Supreme Emperor?"
"And among you censors, have any of you ever impeached Mr. Zhang and County Magistrate Wang, or supervised these matters?"
Xiao Lintian asked Eunuch Xie to throw all the imperial censor's memorials at their feet, and he still cursed.
"What exactly are the responsibilities of a censor? Don't you understand this after being a censor all your life?"
"What you want to do is to help me impeach, pick up the officials' mistakes, organize the government, and inspect the prisons. Your memorial should be a warning and a warning!"
"But see for yourselves, what the hell are you doing? Why is Cao Qiang's unjust case not investigated? How come the case of two hundred people who were unjustly killed is not investigated?"
Xiao Lintian's accusations made those censors hang their heads, and their expressions of righteousness just now were replaced by guilty consciences.
Xiao Lintian smiled coldly, these old censors have become old fools. They have high salaries, but they do things with a smooth attitude. Every day's memorials are perfunctory and painless.
He had long disliked these old stubborns, and this time they hit the muzzle of the gun themselves, and he would be sorry for himself if he didn't take care of them.
It's just that Xiao Lintian still underestimated these old fritters in the end. They didn't get the favor, so he changed the subject.
An old Censor Wang knelt down and said loudly with tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty, the veterans are also doing your best! The Queen's duty is to take care of you, but she puts the cart before the horse and goes out to show off!"
"The emperor is busy with state affairs, and when he returns to the harem, there is not even a caring person to serve him tea and water. This makes this veteran feel very sorry for the emperor!"
As he said this, Mr. Wang covered his chest with a painful look on his face.
"The emperor can't feel the happiness of ordinary people, so what's the use of marrying the queen!"
Xiao Lintian's face twitched, marrying Ling Yu to serve tea and water?
Mr. Wang dared to say this in front of Ling Yu. He could imagine Ling Yu spitting saliva on his face...
