King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

  Chapter 26 Ink beauty please

   Today's morning court was exceptionally peaceful, and no one came out to "express" any opinions, probably because yesterday's disposal of General Wei's vanguard left a deep impression on them who came later.

  Jun Li glanced around at the respectful courtiers, his eyes turned slightly, and settled on one of them.

  Eunuch Duan saw this, and immediately stepped forward, continuing the words that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

   "If there is something to play, if there is nothing to retreat to—"

  The courtiers looked at each other, lowered their heads and did not speak.

  Eunuch Duan moved slightly, and was about to announce his retreat, but was stopped by Jun Li with his eyes.

  Looking lightly at the courtiers who almost all lowered their heads, Jun Li frowned slightly. It was time for the court to inject fresh blood.

   Being scanned by Jun Li's sharp eyes, the courtiers lowered their heads unconsciously, afraid that someone would accidentally "get into" Jun Li's eyes.

   After a while, Junli withdrew her gaze and tapped the dragon chair lightly with her fingers. This was her habit in her previous life. When she was thinking about things, she liked to tap the table moderately.

  Finally, under the increasingly tense eyes of the officials, Jun Li said slowly, "Prime Minister and Lord Yang accompanied me to the Imperial Study Room."

   Seeing that Junli had finished speaking, Eunuch Duan took a step forward, opened his somewhat shrill voice and said, "Back to court—"

   "I will send you off to Your Majesty!"

  …

  Royal Study Room

  Prime Minister Meng recalled His Majesty's performance at the morning court yesterday and today, and sighed softly in his heart, but he was also extremely happy. Your Majesty, have you finally stopped hiding? In the future, will she finally be able to show her amazing talent in governing the country openly and aboveboard? You don't have to hide it anymore, and use her hand to govern Bei Rong?

  Thinking of this, Prime Minister Meng breathed a sigh of relief. What is the most regrettable thing in her life? That is to not assist His Majesty in an upright manner, help her govern the country, and let Bei Rong rule the world.

  At first, she thought that she would never see the real day when His Majesty came to the world, but she didn't expect that His Majesty no longer concealed it, and began to truly manage Beirong.

   Does that mean that His Majesty has already started to fight back against them?

  Prime Minister Meng has hope in his eyes, let those people disappear from this world, this is the greatest wish of the past emperors, and it is also the greatest wish of His Majesty, and why is it not her greatest wish!

  Looking at the great country of Beirong, but unable to show his talents, he can only be instructed by a group of people who have been shady all year round. This is unbearable for any emperor!

  Besides, with His Majesty's talent as a natural emperor, if he can't flex his muscles, wouldn't it be a great pity for the Beirong Kingdom!

Prime Minister Meng couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyes. When she saw the late emperor died of depression due to the long-term worries of these emperors, she also thought that she would never hope to see those people disappear one by one in this world, but Unexpectedly, he saw hope in His Majesty who was only seventeen years old.

  Turning her head away, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes in a direction where no one could see, and then stood up straight. From today onwards, she will use her utmost energy to help His Majesty eradicate those people and manage Beirong well!

Just as Prime Minister Meng was standing up straight, the door of the imperial study was pushed open from the outside. What caught the eyes of Prime Minister Meng and Mr. Yang was a pair of golden boots embroidered with dragon patterns, and then the eye-catching Bright yellow dragon robe.

  The two immediately knelt down, "See Your Majesty!"

  Jun Li stretched out his hand to help, "Get up, don't be too polite."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  The two stood upright, not at all curious about why Jun Li asked them to come. This made Jun Li nodded inwardly. Prime Minister Meng is worthy of being the original owner's confidant, but his calm personality is unmatched by anyone in the court. No wonder he was able to sit in the position of prime minister without being pulled down for a long time .

   Looking to the side, Master Yang also stood up straight without any timidity, which made Junli nodded involuntarily. Finally, there were two more reliable people in the court.

  The attendant who was waiting on the side brought two chairs and asked the two to sit down. The two waved their hands in fear, saying that they dare not.

  Jun Li's face darkened, "Why, you dare to disobey my emperor's words?"

  Prime Minister Meng and Master Yang looked at each other, and sat down together, Junli smiled with satisfaction.

  Take out a few secret letters between General Wei and Kang Wang Junran from the drawer of the table, put them in front of them, meet their puzzled eyes, smile, "Open it and have a look."

  Prime Minister Meng is absolutely trustworthy, and Mr. Yang is an upright and honest official. He has also investigated her details, coupled with various analysis, she is also a trustworthy person, and more importantly, she is a student of Prime Minister Meng.

  So she didn't hide this matter from the two of them. Master Yang is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and this time he is in charge of the Zhang Bu case, so he needs to know more about this matter. Of course, she definitely couldn't show the letter about using Zhang Limo's hand to poison her. After all, from another perspective, Zhang Limo is still her benefactor.

Prime Minister Meng and Master Yang looked at each other suspiciously, each picked up a letter and read it, the more they read, the darker their faces became, until the last letter in their hands was finished, Master Yang couldn't help but patted The table said, "This King Kang is really becoming more and more lawless! How dare she meddle in the affairs of the court, doesn't she know that even the prince who enshrines the king has no right to interfere in the affairs of the court? She is rebelling!"

  Prime Minister Meng did not speak, but his expression was no better than Master Yang's. She pulled Lord Layang's sleeve, looked at Junli and said, "What does Your Majesty plan to do with it?" She didn't even ask where these envelopes came from, which was enough to show her trust in Junli, without any doubt These letters are fake.

  Master Yang was pulled by Prime Minister Meng, and only then remembered that this was still in front of His Majesty, in the imperial study, and bowed his head slightly.

"This emperor showed you these just to let you know. After all, there are only two people who can be trusted by this emperor in the court. Therefore, to deal with General Wei and give Kang Wang a reminder, this matter still needs to be handled by Master Yang. Well, after reading these letters, Master Yang must know how to deal with General Wei, right?"

  Master Yang cupped his hands, "Yes, Your Majesty, General Wei and his subordinates have committed crimes with lawlessness. It has been found out that they were suspected of framing the imperial court officials. Now according to the laws of our court, they should be executed!"

   "Okay, then this matter will be handled by Master Yang. Remember, when you ransacked the house, you should take a good look at how much this General Wei has embezzled, and tell the officials in the court."

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Lord Yang raised the corner of his mouth, obviously very happy.

  Ben came from seeing His Majesty yesterday, although her performance was similar to usual, but she was still sensitive to the fact that His Majesty seemed to have changed. She wasn't sure at the time, but now, she has fully believed that His Majesty has really changed. Whether it was the unprecedented morning court yesterday and the revision of the memorial, or the insistence on going to court today, it is not enough to make her truly believe that His Majesty has changed. . But it was His Majesty's remarks, performance, and self-confidence just now, which made her completely believe that His Majesty has really changed!

  Perhaps, His Majesty has never changed, but they have been blinded by superficial phenomena!

  Thinking of this, Lord Yang exhaled lightly, and for the first time formally looked at the young emperor in front of him!

Junli didn't know what Lord Yang was thinking, but he just looked at Prime Minister Meng and said seriously, "Prime Minister and Lord Yang must also know that there are not many people who can be used in the court now, and the scientific examination is coming soon, so I see After looking at all the matters related to the scientific examination, I found that there are too many loopholes. The emperor wants to announce the change of the scientific examination system in the early morning of tomorrow, which may affect the interests of some people, so I will need the help of the prime minister and Lord Yang at that time " After speaking, he picked up two pieces of paper and handed them to the two of them respectively, "This is the newly revised scientific examination system, please see if there is anything wrong with it."

  Jun Li's words are not modest, but sincere. After all, she dare not say that the system she modified is absolutely perfect, and there must be some loopholes, so it is good to let the two of them help. This is also an indirect expression of his trust in them to the two.

   Sure enough, Master Yang read it with joy, and couldn't help but say, "This scientific examination system is well reformed! I can't stand those idiots in the court for a long time. This system reform is really good!"

  Jun Li chuckled lightly, this is Mrs. Yang looking rigid, but who said that she is not genuine!

  …

  The three of them discussed in the imperial study for a long time, and then they left the imperial study and walked towards the bedroom.

  A person ran towards him from a distance, and when he came to Junli, he stopped and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, Mo Mei is here to invite you."
