Xiao Hong nodded and respectfully agreed.

Subsequently, Chen Fan and others followed Dou Miao to the front of Deyang Palace.

Dou Miao stared coldly at the mountain of memorials and official documents from various places piled up on Liu Hong's desk. Thinking that these things were the culprits that caused Liu Hong to faint, she couldn't help but feel an urge to burn them all.

Then, Dou Miao approached Liu Hong's desk and picked up a memorial that Liu Hong had already reviewed.

Looking at the densely packed comments, Dou Miao felt a surge of anger rising within her.

"Grand Tutor...!"

"Your subject is here...!"

Dou Miao's emotionless voice made Chen Fan tremble involuntarily.

"I entrusted the emperor to you, and this is how you serve him? Are all your officials incompetent?"

As she spoke, Dou Miao turned around and slammed the memorial down in front of Chen Fan.

"this....."

Seeing the furious Empress Dowager, Chen Fan was slightly taken aback. He then bent down and picked up the memorial. After reading its contents, Chen Fan's face turned extremely gloomy.

Other people's memorials not only raised problems but also included their own solutions and opinions, so the emperor only needed to consider and reply.

This is really bad. There are many problems, but not a single solution. The emperor has to reply to each one and provide a solution. If all the memorials are like this, no one can handle it!

Dou Miao then picked up another memorial, glanced at it twice, and then threw it down in front of everyone again.

"What are these burly officials trying to do? Are they trying to work the emperor to death?"

After reading about a dozen memorials, Dou Miao could no longer hold back and exploded, berating everyone present.

"We are incompetent... causing Your Majesty to suffer so much. We beg the Empress Dowager to punish us..."

Chen Fan, Hu Guang, Li Ying, Cao Song, Xun Shuang, and others immediately bowed and begged for forgiveness with utmost respect and fear.

"Ha! Punishment? Of course I will punish you...!"

Looking at the crowd, Dou Miao couldn't help but sneer.

"Issue my imperial decree: order Yang Qiu to arrest all those who keep asking questions but do nothing in these memorials, dismiss them from their posts, and investigate them..."

"These incompetent officials are useless!"

"promise!!"

One of the Imperial Guardsmen accepted the order, then picked up the memorials and ran outside.
