A group of ministers walked into the pilgrimage hall with their thoughts in mind.
After all the ministers entered the palace, they knelt on the ground and shouted long live to Ji Luochen.
Ji Luochen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked majestic and filled with imperial power. After the ministers finished speaking, he slowly said: "Let's all get down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
With Ji Luochen's permission, the ministers slowly stood up from the ground.
Then everyone's eyes turned to the dragon chair.
The moment they saw Ji Luochen, everyone was shocked.
Because they discovered that although the new emperor had just ascended the throne, he was obviously already powerful.
Just sitting there, there is an aura of supremacy in him that dominates the world, swallows up thousands of miles, and is supreme.
This kind of momentum was something that the new emperor did not have before.
All the ministers seemed to understand something in their hearts.
There is nothing more than one reason why an emperor can have such momentum.
That is strong self-confidence.
Still the kind of invincible belief that he is so confident that he can control everything and bring order to chaos.
Immediately, everyone began to be cautious, fearing that they would offend the new emperor and cause unnecessary trouble.
The leaders of the hundred officials are Jiang Li, the prime minister on the left, and Yun Xiao, the prime minister on the right. Behind them are hundreds of civil and military officials.
The order in which the civil and military officials stand is arranged according to the size of their official positions.
Behind Jiang Li and Yun Xiao were the Six Ministers, followed by Zuo Shilang, You Shilang and so on.
Without Ji Luochen's signal, Eunuch Chen stood up and said, "If you have something to do, please leave. If there is nothing, you will withdraw from the court."
As soon as he finished speaking, Right Prime Minister Yun Xiao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"explain."
Ji Luochen sat on the dragon chair and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, the three counties in the northwest of our country have suffered from severe drought for many years. The people have long been in dire straits. If we don't help, there may be a mutiny."
Yun Xiao had a sad expression on his face, as if he was concerned about the country and the people.
Ji Luochen nodded slightly, and Eunuch Chen beside him handed over a memorial.
"I thought no one would remember this in the morning today."
"The memorial regarding the drought in the three northwest counties was sent to the palace a few days ago. However, my father's condition worsened at that time, and I never had time to deal with it."
"Since the right minister has spoken out today, I will also talk about it."
"According to what I learned when I reviewed the memorial last night, although the three northwest counties have been suffering from drought, the court has also allocated funds. Although the people in the three counties cannot eat big fish and meat all the time, the money allocated It can definitely temporarily solve the problem of food and clothing. I want to know why the memorial still talks about the people not having enough to eat."
"I would like to ask, why the disaster relief funds calculated by the Ministry of Household Affairs were not enough after they were distributed?"
"Is there something wrong with the disaster relief funds, or did the people from the Ministry of Revenue make a miscalculation?"
Plop.
After Ji Luochen finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out and knelt on the ground.
This person's name is Dong Shuli, and he is the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry.
After hearing Ji Luochen's words just now, Dong Shuli didn't dare to delay for a moment and walked out directly to prove his innocence.
"Your Majesty, this disaster relief fund was calculated by me and my colleagues from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The calculated amount is definitely enough to solve the food and clothing problem for two million people in the three northwest counties."
"It's just that I don't know why the disaster relief funds allocated are not enough for the people. I hope your Majesty will take a closer look."
After hearing Dong Shuli's words, many ministers were already frightened and restless.
Now this matter has become very obvious. The disaster relief funds must have been embezzled by someone. Once His Majesty investigates, I don't know how many people will be punished.
Ji Luochen glanced at Dong Shuli indifferently and said slowly: "Dong Aiqing, since you said that your household calculation was not wrong, there is something wrong with the disaster relief funds allocated."
"Since everyone wants to know the truth, I will make this matter clear."
"Within three days, I will definitely investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it. If anyone is found to have embezzled disaster relief funds, I will definitely kill them without mercy."
"Qinglong obeys the order."
"I'm here."
In the eyes of all the ministers, Qinglong, who had been in the pilgrimage hall for a long time, stepped out.
"I order you to find out the whereabouts of all the disaster relief funds within three days. Once you find out, I grant you the right to kill first and report later, and arrest all those involved in this case."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qinglong knelt on the ground and respectfully received the order.
"Okay, go check it out now."
Ji Luochen waved his hand and said.
Qinglong turned around and left without saying a word.
All the ministers heard that the new emperor had established an organization called Jinyiwei, which took orders directly from the emperor.
With the royal power, he has the right to kill first and report later.
Moreover, everyone in the Jin Yiwei is a killing machine without emotion. Once anyone falls into the hands of the Jin Yiwei, there is no hope of getting out alive.
This is definitely a department of the King of Hell, and no one wants to fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei.
Then Ji Luochen talked about some people's livelihood issues, and it was time to disperse the dynasty.
At this moment, a burst of noise came, and even the forbidden troops outside could not stop the people who came.
Jiang Linglong burst into the pilgrimage hall with bloodshot eyes.
"I am the Queen of the late Emperor. Who of you dares to stop me? This is a sacred object given to me by the First Emperor. Seeing this object is like seeing the First Emperor. If you stop me, it is equivalent to offending the First Emperor. This is a serious crime of beheading."
I saw Jiang Linglong holding a jade carving with three big characters engraved on it: "Gift to Linglong."
Some of the Imperial Guards who wanted to step forward to intercept them all stood there at a loss, not knowing whether they should step forward to intercept them.
After Jiang Linglong introduced the origin of the jade carving, the Imperial Guards didn't know what to do.
Jiang Linglong walked into the pilgrimage hall and said to Ji Luochen: "Ji Luochen, please give my son his life. Where did you take my son? If anything happens to my son, I will bury you with him."
"Bold."
"presumptuous."
Jiang Linglong's words directly caused two voices to scold her.
The first voice belonged to Eunuch Chen.
The second path belongs to Jiang Li, the Prime Minister of the Left.
Seeing this scene, all the ministers chose to watch the fun.
Who doesn't know that the late emperor and empress are the biological sisters of Zuo Xiang Jiang Li.
Now that Jiang Linglong is making such a fuss, everyone looks weird and wants to see how the left prime minister will solve it this time.
Ji Luochen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Linglong, who was noisy in the hall, with murderous intent already appearing in his eyes.
Snapped! ! !
A loud slap resounded throughout the entire hall.
Jiang Linglong, who was still noisy, fell silent instantly.
Jiang Linglong was seen kneeling on the ground, with blood-red fingerprints on her cheeks and blood flowing from the corners of her mouth.
"Loud, do you know where this place is?"
"This is the place where His Majesty holds court meetings with his ministers, and it is also the place where national affairs are discussed. How can you, a woman like you, be allowed to make a noise here?"
"Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to Your Majesty?"
"Brother, do you know that Wujiang was taken away by his people last night, and his life and death are unknown now. I have inquired all morning, but no one has seen Wujiang being held there."
"Wujiang is my flesh and blood, and a close relative of our Jiang family. If something happens to him, how will I survive?"
"Brother, tell him that as long as he lets Wujiang go, I will do whatever he asks me to do, and I can promise him that Wujiang will never trouble him again or compete for the throne with him. Take Wujiang to live in seclusion and never appear in front of him again."
At this time, Jiang Linglong had fallen into a demonic barrier, and she was only thinking about Ji Wujiang.
"It's totally treasonous."
"If you don't shut up, do you really want to piss me off?"
Jiang Li's face turned livid with anger, and he pointed at Jiang Linglong while trembling.
