Chapter 1617
Ten minutes before the training started, Ling Yu came with several maids.
She didn't wear the Queen's formal attire, just a simple dark purple coiled collar with narrow sleeves, and only a simple hairpin in her bun.
The whole person is refreshing and noble.
She walked straight to the podium and looked down. Ninety-five percent of the newly appointed officials were here, with only a few seats vacant.
The old officials' side was mostly empty.
Ling Yu's requirement for old officials is to voluntarily participate, but for new officials, it is 100% mandatory.
Seeing those empty seats, Ling Yu smiled coldly.
Although these students are considered disciples of the emperor, not everyone is loyal to Xiao Lintian.
It's okay not to participate in the training, but I have previously stated that everyone must come, and they dare not come. Isn't this contempt for myself and wanting to give myself a blow?
"Shilang Huang, have you notified all the officials who are missing?"
First domain name
Ling Yu directly asked Huang Shilang, who was responsible for organizing the training at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Huang Shilang was efficient in his work. Xiao Lintian had previously planned to promote him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue after capturing Master Jiang, so Ling Yu also gave him a chance to show off this time.
Huang Shilang glanced at the empty seats and said solemnly: "I have already notified the queen of my reply, and I also asked them to sign and confirm according to the queen's request!"
"Then they didn't come, but did they ask for leave and say hello to you?"
Ling Yu asked.
"No!" Huang Shilang said simply and clearly.
Ling Yu said without saying anything: "Take their names off the list of serving officials and they will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three years!"
The two people spoke without restraint, and the new officials heard it and were shocked.
After ten years of hardship, no one knows how much hardship they endured except those who have experienced it.
But Ling Yu ruined the future of these officials with just one word, and was not allowed to take part in the imperial examination for three years!
Is this punishment too severe?
"My dear, is this punishment too severe? They may have other reasons why they can't come. You can't just deprive them of their official positions!"
Shi Chen, the new champion, was the first to stand up and protest.
Some new officials also stood up in protest.
Although they may not know their colleagues yet, as scholars, no one wants to see their partners’ ten years of hard work go to waste.
"Quiet, everyone, sit down!"
Ling Yu shouted.
But these indignant new officials didn't take Ling Yu seriously. They still stood and protested, each one louder than the other.
"Your Majesty, there is no such law in Western Qin. The Emperor asked you to temporarily take charge of state affairs, not to do this nonsense!"
"Yes, a woman can only stay at home to care for her husband and raise children, and it is difficult for her to go out to a dignified house!"
There were several officials from Zhao Hui's party sitting in the back. They were not here to cheer, but to see what was going on in the training organized by Ling Yu.
Seeing Ling Yu being ridiculed by these new officials, these officials all gloated and felt that it was not in vain. It would be a pity to miss such a good show!
"quiet!"
Ling Yu became angry and roared, her voice high-octave and resounding over the entire classroom.
The new officials were immediately frightened and fell silent, all looking at Ling Yu in shock.
How could a petite and beautiful woman like Ling Yu roar like this!
"Everyone sit down!"
Ling Yu shouted again, and the new officials hesitated and sat down one after another.
"Look at how you looked just now, do you look like a scholar?"
Ling Yu angrily yelled, "What's the difference between what you just did and a shrew?"
"This is the sacred Chaohui Palace, not a place for you to run wild!"
