Chapter 382 The Queen’s Questions on Political Affairs (Part 2)

The queen stared at Chen Yinjie coldly, the prime minister of the empire, a powerful figure above millions of people!

Even though he has always been cunning and deceitful and extremely shrewd, he could not resist the questioning of His Majesty at this moment! After all, the incident happened suddenly and was not mentally prepared in advance. It was impossible to exonerate his confidants!

"Your Majesty... This... I have never known it in advance! It should be... they have failed the trust of Your Majesty and the people of the empire, so... this..."

"So what?" Fang Yuqing asked with a sneer.

Chen Yinjie gritted his teeth and said, "I think these corrupt officials should be severely punished! To rectify the country's laws!"

Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to save these confidants, so I can only give up.

Fang Yuqing still did not relax and shouted angrily: "Then Chen Qing, are you not responsible? You are recommended by the twelve governors of the imperial provinces! After less than half a year of taking office, all of them were wrong! Once it is known to the trillion-dollar citizens of the empire, what a scandal it would be?"

"According to what you said at the beginning, these twelve governors were all selected from the thousands of officials in the empire. They would definitely be able to manage this starry sky for the empire! I believe it! But now, what have they done? Why were they all law-abiding officials who were capable of sects before, and once they changed their positions, they were all corrupt?"

"The Twelve Provinces in the Southern Xinjiang are the new land of the empire. Now such a major case has occurred! What significant impact will it have on the empire's next strategic decision? Chen Qing, as the Prime Minister of the empire, don't you understand?"

As she questioned, Chen Yinjie's face became increasingly ugly, and his elephant legs trembled slightly without being suppressed! On her forehead, dense beads of sweat slowly flowed down her fat face.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has failed to supervise and recommended people inappropriately, which has made the imperial government shame. Please punish him heavily!" The rogue prime minister said helplessly.

At this time, his heart was already full of curses: These stupid idiots are fine, they are just corruption, but they actually made such a big noise, which made the bastards in the Supervision Bureau catch the handle! You are not newbies in the officialdom, so don’t know how to do things cleanly? Don’t remind me in advance, now, even you have been circling in!

He naturally understood what kind of virtue his confidants were. He had all the five poisons to eat, drink, go to gamble and eat! There was no thing they dared to do, and no money they dared to make! By the way, he was the best, so his subordinates naturally followed suit!

When the territory of the twelve provinces was initially demarcated, all forces targeted Fei Que, the twelve governor positions, and the people who asked him to plead for love and hand over the notes, and received gifts, money and women, and they were all lenient!

Needless to say, the last candidate was the twelve people who gave him the most! Let’s just talk about the others! After the end of the last war, he, who was good at camp, gave the Prime Minister a generous gift, successfully obtained the position of governor of the Henglus Star Domain, and also got the status of a nobleman.

This time, in order to win a place, he almost took out all his accumulated wealth for many years, and then he got what he wanted! I don’t know how he, a poor governor in the remote star field, had such rich assets, which shows that his ability to make money is definitely one of the best in the empire!

I am sorry for my hard work over the years after so much blood has been released, and as soon as I take office, this guy shaves a lot of money and uses his extreme efforts to squeeze the billions of people under his control!

The other eleven people were all similar! The rebellion in the twelve provinces was caused by some forces secretly instigating them, but the bigger reason was that officials forced the people to rebel! As the highest executive in the local area, they could not be blamed!

A stern look appeared on the queen's face: "Since Chen Qing, you said that, then the matter will be easy! All of these twelve people were dismissed from office and title, deprived of all their property and fiefs! They were publicly hanged to calm the dissatisfaction of the local people!"

Chen Yinjie was shocked and asked in a trembling voice: "The twelve governors are all going to hang? Is it..."

"What?" Fang Yuqing suddenly grabbed the file in front of her and threw it to his feet! She said with a stern voice:

"These worms that harm the country and the people are the unstable situation in the southern border of the empire because of their existence. They have to mobilize the imperial army to quell the rebellion. They not only need to pay the troops and pay, but also increase casualties. They also affect the empire's next plan to expand territory! If they don't take their heads, how can they eliminate my hatred!"

"And you, as the chief minister of the empire and the elders of several dynasties, don't care about such major issues that shake the foundation of the country! Don't say that you didn't know what they did in advance!"

Chen Yinjie took a step back in shock, lowered his head and said nothing. No one dared to speak out in the sect of officials who were with him!

But this is not the most deadly thing. The Queen's next words almost made all the officials in the court confused!

"Chen Qing! You have been in charge of the imperial cabinet for many years, and you have worked hard without any credit! You can't blame you for this incident! You are already in high spirits this year, lack of energy, and some problems cannot be handled, which is inevitable!"

"You can put the burden on the Prime Minister first! I will give you a princely mansion and go back and take a good rest! You won't have to go to court to discuss matters in the future!"

There is a dead silence in the huge hall!

The chief minister of the dynasty and the senior of the four dynasties was dismissed from office in one sentence?

Several courtiers moved their lips, as if they wanted to plead with mercy, but when they saw the queen's murderous eyes, they retreated in fear.

Looking at the reactions of the civil and military officials below, Fang Yuqing showed a proud smile on her face and said slowly: "Since no one objected, then this matter is decided! The position of Prime Minister is temporarily suspended. When I have decided on the candidate, I will appoint it separately!"

"In the future, administrative officials at the level of the Governor of the Planet are not allowed to take office without my inspection and review! In order to avoid similar cases again! Do you have any objections?"

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise!" No matter how reluctant he was, all the officials in the court could only respond respectfully.

Gu Longs sighed in his heart: This young monarch is much more powerful than the previous emperor! First there is military power, then the regime, and now he even holds the power of personnel appointment and removal in his hands! The foundation is becoming more and more stable. Who else dares to challenge her authority in the future?

However, this still has more benefits than disadvantages to the current empire! The situation in Xinghai is changing rapidly. At this extraordinary period, a powerful person is indeed needed to control the overall situation and lead the empire to overcome the crisis!

And myself, and the military, will become the unswerving backing of the Queen!

Seeing that the purpose of today's court meeting had been achieved, Fang Yuqing felt a little relaxed, and stood up with a smile and said, "I will discuss it here today. Let me disperse! If there is any important matter, no matter when, you can report it to me!"

After the court meeting, Fang Yuqing left the hall alone and walked towards the inner palace. The palace guards who accompanied her were all sent away from her.

Following the jade crystal path, I quickly walked along the way, and soon arrived at the bedroom of the former empress and the current empress dowager.

At the front of the magnificent palace main entrance, more than ten palace guards were guarding there, and the same number of white-clothed palace maids stood outside the door, waiting for the call of the palace master at any time.

This kind of pomp is undoubtedly much smaller than when she was the Empress of the Empire! However, for a vicious woman like her, it is time to be content!

Fang Yuqing sneered in her heart, but her face was calm and she walked slowly. Behind, General Manager Yan had been following her at some point.

She looked back at the woman who was the most trusted and trusted woman during her lifetime and she was extremely trustworthy, with a sincere and gentle look on her face.

Seeing that it was almost at the entrance of the palace, General Manager Yan was inconvenient to say more, so he just winked at her and signaled that everything was normal.

Fang Yuqing nodded calmly, with her phoenix skirt and a jingle ring, and she stepped onto the jade steps in front of the palace gate in a steady manner. The palace maids and guards were busy saluting, and a female official trotted in and reported.

In the side hall, the Empress Dowager Zhu Zhaoyuan is now sitting next to the desk, writing and painting on a paper document, and she doesn't know what she is busy with.

The queen walked into the palace gate by herself, saw the figure of the queen mother, walked over and bowed slightly, and said coldly: "Mother, Yu Qing is here to visit you!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Zhaoyuan quickly put down the pen in her hand, and a very eager smile appeared on her face, and stood up to greet her.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and your Majesty is getting more and more beautiful!" She praised insincerely, ordered the palace maids to serve tea and snacks, and then took the queen down dim sum to ask about her well-being.

At first glance, it looks like a deep affectionate mother and daughter!

After the general manager Yan gave his respect, he stood quietly beside him without saying a word.

After a while of cold greeting, Fang Yuqing waited to get up and leave. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhaoyuan's words made her calm mood, which was originally calm, feel a little angry again.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have made up your mind when I told you last time?" Zhu Zhaoyuan asked with anticipation.

The queen raised her eyebrows and said expressionlessly: "The Imperial Guards are now full of staff, and there is really no suitable position arrangement! I'm afraid I'll disappoint my mother!"

Zhu Zhaoyuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty! Isn't this personnel arrangement just a matter of your words? Zhu Junzhe is my nephew, and in terms of seniority, he is your cousin. He is a handsome man and has outstanding abilities! You also admire Your Majesty very much! Isn't it appropriate for him to serve as the commander of the palace guard?"

"My palace guards are all women. It may be inappropriate for him to serve as the commander!" Fang Yuqing suppressed her anger and explained patiently.

"Your Majesty's words are just for nothing! Your cousin is not an outsider! He will take care of your daily safety. What's wrong with it? In this way, will you have more opportunities to meet? It's convenient to date in the future! You are now at the age to talk about marriage, so it's time to consider this!" Zhu Zhaoyuan finally made out what she meant.

Anger flashed in Fang Yuqing's eyes and said coldly: "My mother is such a noble man who is so forgot about it! When the father was alive, he betrothed me to Duke Yun Haoyu. You were also present at that time! All the great ministers and nobles in the court have witnessed it! Why do you still mention this now?"

Zhu Zhaoyuan's face was a little unnatural and she smiled dryly: "But, isn't that young man no longer in the empire? You can't wait for him all the time, right? Your cousin is also his own family, can't he compare to him?"

Fang Yuqing wanted to have an attack several times, but she forced herself to endure it again. She looked down at the exquisite embroidered patterns on the phoenix skirt, and kept silent.

Zhu Zhaoyuan thought she was a little moved, and said with great urgency: "I heard that you had just dismissed the governor of the 12 provinces in southern Xinjiang? This is the best! How can those outsiders be reliable than their own family members? I have already found a new candidate for you! Look, if you think it's okay, please make a decision earlier!"

As she said that, she picked up the list on the desk and handed it to Fang Yuqing.

The queen finally couldn't help but burst out, waved her sleeves and swept the teacup snacks on the tea table beside her, and scolded her sternly: "Zhu Zhaoyuan! Are you doing it too much? Do you really think I am a child? As the queen mother, she is talking about national affairs! Who gave you the power?"

"For the sake of my father, I can ignore it this time, and there will be another time! Hum--"
