Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Chapter 384 Shock

Seeing that Leng Shaobin had completely understood, Xiao Lengyue nodded happily, "Yes, Grandfather, you are absolutely right.

In this way, only important matters will come to me, instead of writing memorials to me for trivial matters like now."

Hearing this, the three men looked a little uncomfortable. They were also officials, so they naturally knew that some officials did not have important matters to discuss, but had to write memorials every day, so some people only wrote about very small things.

Xiao Lengyue paid attention to their expressions from the corner of his eyes, and seeing that there was hope, he said, “Now, the world has just been unified, and there are still many things that I need to rectify.

But because of these memorials, all my time is wasted here, and I have no time to think about other things. "

When Old Master Murong heard this, he suddenly felt that it was not impossible to set up a cabinet.

However, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Lengyue and asked, "Your Majesty, if you delegate power and these officials do not follow your Majesty's wishes, what will happen then?"

Xiao Lengyue laughed when she heard this, "Master, are you worried that I will be deceived?"

Old Master Murong did not deny it, but said: "Establishing a cabinet or a prime minister is to disperse your majesty's power. It is difficult to guarantee such a tempting thing. No one will not be greedy for power."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "I have already considered this.

At that time, I will set up an envelope box among the people. If the people have grievances, they can write a petition and put it in it, and I will send someone to pick it up."

When Duke Li heard this, he blurted out, "What if we move the box away?

Or, what if those officials bribed your Majesty's people? "

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she laughed, but her tone was cold.

"If you're worried about the box being moved away, then make yourself someone who can't be moved away. If you're worried about being bribed, then find someone who can't be bribed. How simple it is."

Old Master Murong's brain was quick, and he thought of it immediately. He asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, do you want to secretly send someone to take it?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Yes, this person is directly under my jurisdiction. If no one knows who he is, the officials cannot bribe him even if they want to."

Leng Shaobin nodded, "This is indeed a good idea. Putting it there openly and honestly tells the people that if they encounter injustice, they can go directly to the emperor.

The officials who committed the crime cannot find out who is in charge of the box, so they will be more restrained when doing their job.

OK, OK, OK. "

Leng Shaobin didn't expect that Xiao Lengyue was so thoughtful at such a young age. No wonder he was the ruler of the world.

After listening to what was said, Old Master Murong did not find anything wrong, so he did not object. Instead, he helped Xiao Lengyue to perfect her plan.

Although Duke Li was not as strategic as the old Grand Tutor Murong, he was born in a farming family, so when they talked, he could always give some direct suggestions.

So, the four of them chatted in the Yangxin Palace for the whole afternoon. It was not until dinner time that Xiao Lengyue let them leave the palace.

When attending court the next day, Xiao Lengyue mainly sentenced those who should be sentenced to exile to exile, and those who should be sentenced to death to death.

After giving the order, the Minister of Justice began to take action. Of course, among those exiled were Chen Bing's family and Lin Beicheng.

Because the establishment of the cabinet was still a bit of a work in progress, Xiao Lengyue did not say anything. After finishing other things that needed to be dealt with, he took Old Tutor Murong and the others to the Yangxin Palace.

After everything was settled, they were allowed to leave the palace.

After Xiao Lengyue finished, she took a rare stroll in the garden.

I have to say that the garden in the palace is really big. She walked for a while but couldn't see the end.

As Xiao Lengyue was walking, she thought of Lin Yun, so she turned her head and looked at Chunxiang, "Is Lin Beicheng exiled today?"

Chunxiang nodded, "Yes, we should be out of the city by now."

Xiao Lengyue nodded and said, "Let's go and see Lin Yun."

When Chunxiang heard this, she took Xiao Lengyue to the dungeon. When they arrived at Lin Yun's dungeon, they saw a very dirty woman sitting in the cell.

Lin Yun heard footsteps, slowly raised her head, and when she saw Xiao Lengyue at the door, she stood up suddenly.

"Didn't you promise me before that you would leave a way for my father to live?

Why, why was he exiled?"

Hearing Lin Yun's roar, Xiao Lengyue ignored it and glanced at Chunxiang.

Chunxiang understood when she heard Lin Yun's words, but she didn't dare to move without Xiao Lengyue's order.

After Xiao Lengyue saw Chunxiang leave, he looked at Lin Yun and said coldly: "Lin Yun, you should know that because of your brother, your family should have died long ago.

Now, considering his past achievements, I spare his life as a favor from heaven.

As for whether he can reach the place of exile safely, it is none of my business.

I have fulfilled my promise to you. I hope you will keep your promise and don't let me be cruel."

After Xiao Lengyue finished speaking, he didn't care what Lin Yun said at all, but left directly.

When I came outside, I saw Chunxiang giving orders to people. When she saw Xiao Lengyue coming out, she hurriedly followed.

Xiao Lengyue didn't waste any words and said directly: "Investigate carefully, I want to see who is so capable that he dares to reach out here."

When Chunxiang heard this, she bowed and said, "Yes."

Xiao Lengyue's people acted quickly and had figured out the matter by the evening.

It turned out that he was a eunuch in Lin Yun's palace. Because Lin Yun had saved him, after hearing Xiao Lengyue's order, he took advantage of the time to deliver food to the dungeon to tell Lin Yun about this matter.

Xiao Lengyue heard Chunxiang's report without even raising his head and said coldly: "Beat him to death and throw him out. Then check carefully to see if there is any unclean one."

After Chunxiang left, Xiao Lengyue's hand paused slightly, but the next second, he started to work again.

That night, except for the Yangxin Palace, people in other places were in a state of panic.

All the officials were shocked after hearing Xiao Lengyue's actions. At this moment, they really realized that although the man was young, his methods were not merciful at all.

The next day, when the court was still light, all officials saw a row of corpses lying outside the palace when they entered the palace.

After seeing this, all the officials quickened their pace into the palace. They just felt the smell of blood all around them, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

Xiao Lengyue deliberately did not have anyone deal with it immediately.

She just wanted the ministers to see that she was not a merciful emperor.

When she attended court today, she found that the ministers who were usually very casual were now standing there in an orderly manner and had not started to form cliques.

Seeing this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Very good, the shock was there. Next, it was time to perform well.
