Chapter 417 Thunderous Means

Duanmu Yu's face turned the color of pig liver in an instant.

Everyone knows what will happen to a king who subjugates his country, and even more clearly what will happen to his concubines and daughters.

At this time, Chu Qinghuang deliberately mentioned these things, which was undoubtedly an insult to him and planted a thorn in his heart.

Not to mention the king of a country, even the head of an ordinary official family cannot take this kind of thing lightly. It is a shame that no man can bear.

"Emperor Duanmu, please go and rest first." Chu Qinghuang had no intention of saying more to him, "I still have many things to approve, so I won't accompany you."

With that said, he turned around and entered the imperial study room.

As for the sixteen masters, even if they are with Duanmu Yu, they are always under the surveillance of the Ange Shadow Guards. There are people on duty day and night, and the palace is even full of forbidden troops and heavily guarded.

Under this situation, if they could still escape, then Chu Qinghuang could only admire their ability.

Duanmu Yu stared at Chu Qinghuang's back gloomily, his eyes filled with anger, and he almost wanted to chop the yellow-haired girl alive.

How dare a little girl who has not yet been weaned dare to show off her cruelty in front of him?

When he returns to northern Xinjiang, he will definitely lead his cavalry to attack Xiqi, letting her experience what it means to be a king of subjugation!

Full of anger and murderous intent, Duanmu Yu turned around and left, swearing viciously in his heart, thinking of thousands of ways to make her die without a burial place, but he did not expect that the day he stepped into the Imperial City of Xiqi From the beginning, his career as emperor was destined to end.

The hot summer passes quickly.

After Fucang left, Chu Qinghuang concentrated on major political affairs. Every day, intelligence from all directions was sent to the black box in the corner of the Long Case.

Few civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty knew what was written in the intelligence.

In mid-August, the sky collapsed in Wuzhou.

The newly promoted champion Chu Xuance was ordered to go to Wuzhou to investigate the case and uncovered the local corrupt officials and profiteers who had monopolized the tea industry. The grasshoppers on the vines were tightly tied together from top to bottom, almost forcing the tea farmers to despair.

From officials to profiteers, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.

The memorial was quickly submitted to the imperial court. After the Queen's imperial approval, she issued an edict: "The prefect of Wuzhou, Gao Yuan, took advantage of his position to seek personal gain and allowed profiteers to oppress the tea farmers. As a result, tens of thousands of tea farmers in Wuzhou had toiled for years but had no food to eat, and their livelihoods were difficult. Gao Yuan and The profiteers he protected were guilty of serious crimes, and the people would not be angry if they were not killed!"

The ministers shouted long live.

"If the local government fails to act, I will root out the government bugs." Chu Qinghuang issued an order, "Pass it to Lu Jun!"

Lu Jun, the former guard commander of the eldest princess's palace, went up to the palace and knelt down to obey orders.

"Lu Jun, for the Wuzhou case, take the Royal Forest Army with you." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "Order a group of people to be killed in public at Caishikou to show the anger of the people!"

"I obey the order!" Lu Jun accepted the order and left.

Chu Qinghuang slowly looked around the hall, "I know very well that some of you are the shelters of these corrupt officials and profiteers and bullies..."

As soon as these words were finished, the civil and military officials in the court knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty is aware of this!"

"I haven't found out yet, but that doesn't mean I can never find out." Chu Qinghuang paused slightly, and then said coldly, "From now on, please stay safe, do your work well, and put the people and the country of Xiqi first. I can not pursue the matter for the time being.”

"My Holy Emperor!"

"Please remember that my bottom line is the millions of people in Xiqi. In the next three years, I will make the people of Xiqi live in a stable life, have enough food and clothing, make the treasury abundant, and make the army strong. Who dares to do this at this time?" To hold me back, first consider whether your nine clans are strong enough to withstand being beheaded in public several times!"

The civil and military officials said nothing else, and their voices resounded through the sky: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen, long live, long live!"

"There is a black box on my imperial case, and the black box contains information." Chu Qinghuang slowed down her tone, "You adults, if you are dedicated to serving the country, I will see it. If you are dedicated to personal gain, I will also see it... I will continue to monitor your performance in the coming days.”

The ministers were sweating profusely: "My holy emperor! Long live, long live, long live!"

"Retreat!"

"Congratulations to Her Majesty the Queen! Long live, long live, long live!"

In the next six months, Her Majesty the Queen would raise the many ills that existed in various parts of Xiqi every morning in court. Some bullies bullied the people, some local officials embezzled taxes, some officials and businessmen colluded to monopolize the salt industry, and some profiteers took advantage of natural disasters to drive up food prices. …

Every time the ministers of the court were frightened after hearing these things, they would even subconsciously glance at the terrible black box after entering the imperial study.

Her Majesty the Queen used fierce methods to govern the country with the power of thunder, punished corrupt officials and profiteers, and killed batch after batch of people.

At the same time, adjustments were made to the strength and defense of border fortresses, and the soldiers' pay, food, armor, and weapons were greatly improved.

Under the high-pressure policy of Thunderous Means, the atmosphere of the court took on a new look. Young and capable upstarts in the court sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain to relieve His Majesty's worries and problems. They were full of energy and one young man after another was promoted to the center of various ministries.
