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

Chapter 285 The Clown

You may say they are greedy, but they don’t charge much and they don’t sell to others at a low price.

You may say you are not greedy, but taking kickbacks and selling to your own people are a form of greed.

The main reason why Xiao Lengyue let them go was because they resigned on their own initiative.

In addition, the commissions they received were not high, and they did not sell at low prices to relatives and friends, otherwise they would not be able to leave.

The ministers below felt a little uneasy when they saw Xiao Lengyue reading the memorials.

Xiao Lengyue finished reading the resignation memorials submitted by those people, and when he saw that there were no more problems, he looked at the ministers below.

"Is there anyone else who wants to resign?"

As soon as Xiao Lengyue said this, all the officials lowered their heads instantly and dared not move at all.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Lengyue said with a smile: "I don't eat humans, there's no need to be so scared."

After saying that, he asked again. Seeing that no one in the court said anything, he nodded and said, "Okay, from now on, I will not accept your resignation letter."

After saying that, Xiao Lengyue looked at Tianze and said, "Tianze, you and Tianyi, from now on, check the details of this adult in detail and then hand it over to me."

When these words were spoken, all the officials were shocked and looked at Xiao Lengyue with disbelief in their eyes.

Xiao Lengyue looked at their expressions and said with a half-smile, "There is a saying that goes, 'If you are upright, you are not afraid of your own shadow.' I believe that all of you are good officials who love the people like your own children."

None of the officials expected that Xiao Lengyue would make such a big fuss.

At this moment, an old man stood up, looked at Xiao Lengyue, and said in a cold voice: "Since the princess wants to thoroughly investigate all officials, shouldn't she set an example?"

Xiao Lengyue looked at the man in front of her, then looked at Tianze. Tianze got the signal and asked, "What's going on? Is Lord Zhao trying to commit an insubordination?"

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she understood that the man in front of her was the leader of that group.

As long as he is brought down, the rest of the people will be of no use.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lengyue's eyes flashed with a light.

She waved her hand to tell Tianze to stop talking, then looked at the man, "Lord Zhao, how do you want me to set an example?"

When Elder Zhao heard this, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. He raised his chin slightly, looked at Xiao Lengyue and said, "Your Highness, do you want to prove first whether you are really a member of the royal family?"

After saying that, he looked at Leng Huaizhong and said, "You can't be the princess just because General Leng said so, right?"

As soon as Lord Zhao said this, several officials stood up, saluted Xiao Lengyue, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please prove your innocence."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the officials in front of her, and seeing that they were all the people who took her father's oral order as a golden ticket to immunity from death, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Seeing that so many of them wanted to bully Xiao Lengyue, Leng Huaizhong said coldly: "Lord Zhao, do you think that our Leng family would deceive the people of the world?

Not to mention that His Highness is protected by a divine dragon, just take the dragon throne for example, not every emperor can sit on it, right?

Doesn't this prove your highness's identity?"

When Lord Zhao heard this, he snorted coldly, "Perhaps you have tampered with this throne.

As for the dragon, if you say there is one, then there is one."

When Leng Huaizhong heard what Lord Zhao said, his face turned red with anger.

Lord Zhao has been feeling unwell these past few days and has been resting. His family was afraid of worsening his condition and did not tell him what happened in the capital.

He knew that the new emperor had stepped down and the princess had returned, but he did not find out until before he went to court.

As for the dragon they were talking about, he didn't take it seriously.

As for the other officials, they all followed Lord Zhao, and when they saw that he was not attending court, they all asked for leave.

Although they knew some of what happened in the capital, they didn't care. After all, dragons were legendary beasts, so how could they possibly protect a woman?

So, the current scene appeared.

Elder Zhao ignored Leng Huaizhong and looked at Xiao Lengyue, "Your Highness, if you can't prove that you are a member of the royal family, how can the old officials be convinced by you?"

Xiao Lengyue looked at him jumping around and said speechlessly, "I thought you guys were capable, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

After saying that, he looked at Elder Zhao, and before he could get angry, he said, "Even if I am not a member of the royal family, I have already taken this position. If you have the ability, pull me down."

After saying that, he looked at Tianze and said, "Take them all away and lock them up first."

When Lord Zhao heard this, he angrily shouted, “How dare you.

I have the late emperor’s oral instructions in my hand..."

Before Lord Zhao could finish his words, everyone saw Xiao Lengyue already came up to Lord Zhao with a sword in his hand.

Lord Zhao looked at the sword in front of him in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

All the officials were shocked at this moment, especially the military generals. They looked at the sword in Xiao Lengyue's hand in shock, looking at it over and over again.

After confirming it, he said excitedly: "The sword of destiny of the emperors of all dynasties.

That is the sword of destiny of the emperors of all dynasties."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials took a deep breath, and when Lord Zhao heard these words, the expression on his face also changed.

Xiao Lengyue heard it, but didn't care. Instead, he looked at Elder Zhao and said coldly, "Don't think of using your father to pressure me.

I am not the emperor, and that oral instruction was not promised by me.

As a cabinet minister, don't you understand the principle that a new emperor appoints new ministers?"

After saying this, she looked at the officials and said calmly, "Even if I am not a member of the royal family, so what?

I took this position back myself. Does it make any difference to me whether someone is a member of the royal family or not?"

When Lord Zhao heard this, he was about to speak when he saw Xiao Lengyue move the sword forward a little.

He was so frightened that he froze, not daring to move at all, for fear that she would accidentally kill him.

Seeing the look on Elder Zhao's face, Xiao Lengyue let out a mocking smile, "How did you manage to save my father from so many enemy troops when you are so timid?"

When Lord Zhao heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. He was about to explain, but Xiao Lengyue didn't give him the chance at all.

Xiao Lengyue saw the emotion in his eyes clearly, she put away her sword, looked at Tianze, and said, "Let Tianyi help you to investigate the matter of the late emperor.

If this was a setup by someone, remember, all the people involved should be arrested.

If you need manpower, go ask General Leng for it."

Tianze bowed and said, "Yes."

After saying that, Tianze waved his hand, and Lord Zhao and the others were taken away.

When Tianze saw that they were about to speak, he gave a look and the soldiers covered their mouths.

When Xiao Lengyue saw this scene, a smile flashed in his eyes.

After they left, Xiao Lengyue looked at the officials and said, "Anyone who wants to know the inside story is welcome to recommend it.

If there is anyone who has made a contribution, I will reward him.

Of course, if you are found to have committed a crime, we can consider it as appropriate."
