Chapter 229: Early Death and Early Rebirth

The next morning, no one in the civil or military court was late. They were neatly dressed, neatly groomed, and meticulously groomed when they went to court. They performed the worship ceremony in an upright and respectful manner, and the sound of the mountain shouting "Long Live the Mountain" resounded through the hall and lingered for a long time.

Yan Qing walked slowly, accompanied by Wen Jin.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe that reflects the noble luster, Yan Qing walked to the dragon chair and did not sit down immediately. Instead, he casually raised his eyes and looked around the hall, taking in the expressions and reactions of the ministers who came up to him. They were either calm or calm. Respectful, or fearful and uneasy... The various states of all living beings can be seen at a glance at this moment.

"Everyone, please be safe." Yan Qing spoke calmly and slowly sat down. "I'll tell you if you have anything to say."

The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the new dynasty has a new atmosphere. Everything is already busy. In addition, Yan Chen was ill and unable to go to court a few days ago. There must be a pile of court affairs. The phrase "retire from the court without anything to do" is completely unnecessary. Say it.

The ministers began to carry out their duties in an orderly manner. The Minister of Civil Affairs took the lead and bowed to report: "It is a great joy for Your Majesty to ascend the throne. According to the rules of the past dynasties, the whole world should be pardoned to show Your Majesty's kindness."

"I don't need to show mercy to those who commit crimes." Yan Qing's eyes were cold, and there was a hint of coercion in his voice that could not be ignored. "To govern the world, those who are lawless and commit heinous crimes should be governed. Students and people are kind, showing kindness to those who commit crimes is evil, and being tolerant of evil people is cruelty to good people.”

Just one sentence made the Minister of Civil Affairs break into cold sweat, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Then he stood back in line respectfully.

There was a minister in the court who wanted to give some advice about the harem, but when he saw that even the Minister of Civil Affairs came back with a sneer, how could he dare to say more?

Moreover, there is a very powerful minister standing next to Her Majesty the Queen. Now this powerful minister has become the emperor's husband. He has the power of the chief minister and the influence of the harem... The more the minister thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong. , I had to suppress my thoughts for the time being, and did not dare to ask for trouble on His Majesty's first day after he ascended the throne.

Next, the ministers reported all the important matters of the court, which were many and complicated. In order not to waste too much time, Yan Qing ordered the ministers to report the important and urgent matters that needed urgent decision-making first, and then the court would discuss and make the decision.

Those who are not in a hurry can put it aside for a while and wait until they go to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss it again in the afternoon.

The whole morning passed in the busy palace discussions.

Before retreating from the court, Yan Qing took the initiative to speak: "This morning, the Minister of Civil Affairs mentioned that the new emperor will grant a general amnesty to the world... Although I think it is unnecessary to grant a general amnesty to the world, it is extremely necessary to show kindness to the students, so I will open an additional Enke this year. The Ministry of Etiquette is in charge.”

The Minister of Rites came out: "I obey the decree."

"In view of how busy the Ministry of Rites has been recently, the Ministry of Personnel will be responsible for this jointly." Yan Qing said indifferently, "The imperial court must be fair and impartial in selecting knowledgeable people. I don't want to see cases of favoritism, malpractice, and fraud. Who dares to take the lead in this situation?" If he commits a crime, don’t blame me for being cruel and trying to establish my authority over him!”

All civil and military officials immediately knelt down: "I don't dare! My emperor is wise!"

So Yan Qing and Wen Jin left the hall amidst bursts of impassioned "My Emperor's Holy Ming" and headed towards Jiuhua Palace.

After going to court, Shangshu Hubu and Yushi Hu, who had recently been worried about their children, finally couldn't hold themselves back and found an opportunity to arrive outside Jiuhua Palace and earnestly beg to see His Majesty.

Ji Shangshu was so anxious when he thought that he still owed two hundred thousand taels of silver that he had not cashed in. He wished he could hand the money to Yan Qing and Wen Jin right now.

However, Yan Qing has become the emperor, and the entire treasury belongs to her. He is afraid that he will not be able to give away the mere 200,000 taels even if he wants to.

Sending money was a trivial matter, but he was worried that Yan Qing would hold a grudge, and even more worried that she would vent her dissatisfaction on Chi Yu. He couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well in the past two days.

When he thought of his son whose life and death were unknown, he beat his chest with regret and wished he could strangle himself to death at that time. He had to make a wrong decision when he could have passed it by turning a blind eye, which made Yan Qing furious. Not to mention taking his son away as a slave, what is even more dramatic now is that Yan Qing actually replaced Yan Chen and became the king of the country... A few months ago, he would never have thought that such a thing would happen.

This is how things are in the world. Once people who have offended them in the past become big shots that they cannot afford to offend, only they themselves know the pain of being afraid of being retaliated against.

Hu Yushi felt the same as him. Although he did not owe money, he had impeached the eldest princess before. Now that the eldest princess had become the emperor, he was naturally worried that he would be settled by the Queen.

But early death and early rebirth will have to be faced sooner or later.

If it is really time to die, there is no way to escape.

After the palace servants went in to report, a short while later, Wen Jin walked out of the dormitory. He looked noble and elegant, and he didn't look like someone playing tricks on power.

"Master Wen... ah no, the emperor... Your Majesty..." Ji Lin'an took the lead in saluting, and then looked at him eagerly, "Elder Princess... No, before Your Majesty came back, I have been working hard to collect money. Can you Let... let Xiaguan see Chi Yu? After not seeing him for so many days, his mother misses him so much that she can't eat, and she becomes thinner. "

"Master Ji." Wen Jin's eyebrows were gentle, "Mr. Ji is in Zhuque City and is studying with several students. Although Your Majesty made him a slave in the first place, it was just to scare Master Ji. In fact, Your Majesty has never treated him harshly. , Ji Chiyu has been eating and drinking well these past few months, just like before at home. "

Ji Linan was stunned and could hardly believe it: "Really...really?"

"Of course it's true." Wen Jin smiled slightly, "When have I ever lied to you?"
