The next day.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
The place was bustling with people and very noisy.
There were whispers everywhere:
"My Lords, have you heard this? His Majesty has come up with this curved plow again, claiming that a single ox can plow the land."
Zhao Yiren suppressed his laughter and said mockingly.
"Master Qian, I wonder where you heard this news?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know any carpentry, how could he make something like this?"
"You've been obsessed with that little girl from the Imperial Music Bureau, haven't you? Your mind has gone haywire."
The words fell.
The officials surrounding him also laughed.
Qian Daren's face flushed with embarrassment, and he said anxiously, "Master Zhao, don't talk nonsense!"
"Old man, I have a nephew who works in the Ministry of Works. He said this himself."
"The entire Ministry of Works' master craftsmen have gathered together, working tirelessly to create the 'curved plow' Your Majesty has mentioned!"
"If you don't believe me, look, are there any people from the Ministry of Works here today?"
Hearing this, everyone looked around and searched for a long time.
There really is no one from the Ministry of Industry!
This can’t be true…
Quyuanli?
What a piece of crap.
Can a cow be used to plow the land?
What a joke!
Such an unheard-of rare thing, could this female tyrant come up with it?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. It is probably just a waste of time.
Maybe they are making up stories out of nothing and are planning to replace the Minister of Works Yan Liben on trumped-up charges.
Then, they would replace them with their own people openly.
Tsk tsk tsk.
It seems that this time he is really planning to clean up the government and replace all the six ministries with his own people.
Are their good days coming to an end?
The ministers couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in their hearts.
This is a difficult situation.
On one side is a female tyrant who rules the world, and on the other side are the entrenched court officials.
How should this team stand?
"Master Ying, I suppose you've heard everything. What do you think?"
Some officials from humble backgrounds came up to Ying Wuyong and asked in a low voice.
Ying Wuyong cupped his hands and bowed slightly towards the dragon throne not far away: "Of course, I will obey your majesty's orders."
"ah?"
"Sir Ying, isn't this inappropriate?" Jia Renlu asked with a frown.
He was originally the nephew of Jia Shixian's clan.
Originally, under the glory of Jia Shixian, he was a small fifth-rank official in the huge Jingzhou city. He could get whatever he wanted and lived a very comfortable life.
Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long.
His cousin Jia Shixian is missing!
And disappeared without a trace.
Without a backer, who in Jingzhou City would care about him?
His status immediately plummeted, and he had to take the blame for several dark crimes on behalf of his leader.
Now, faced with such a big issue as choosing sides, I naturally panicked and immediately went to ask the good guy Ying Wu for help.
"What's wrong?" Ying Wuyong asked in a muffled voice.
Jia Renlu did not say anything, but just glanced at the Left Prime Minister Kong Lingda, the Right Prime Minister Yang Yingguang and others not far away.
Ying Wuyong sneered and scoffed, turning into a staunch supporter of the Empress: "This Great Zhou is your Majesty's Great Zhou!"
Well……
The words may be rough, but the truth is there.
But this Majesty is a very nervous person.
Who knows when she will faint, stop playing, and then lose the overall situation of the court!
When that day really comes, you, who are in a high position and have great power, may be fine, but the rest of us will become cannon fodder, right?
Jia Renlu was very conflicted.
At this time.
Female official Murong Yanran stepped into the Taiji Hall and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, may you be blessed with eternal prosperity!"
The ministers were startled and immediately lined up. Led by the ceremonial officer, they saluted several times and said, "Your Majesty, we respectfully welcome you!"
The empress's power is growing, and she is showing some signs of being a wise ruler.
The officials dared not to give the empress any more perfunctory answers, for fear of being caught and becoming the one to be killed.
Yan Jiaoran wore a Tongtian crown and a nine-chapter dragon robe. She entered from the main entrance of the hall surrounded by guards and attendants and sat upright on the dragon throne.
With Qin Yuan's help, the empress has gradually taken control of the court and gained power.
With the power of life and death, Yan Jiaoran's every frown and smile is already majestic and frightening.
All the ministers immediately prostrated themselves and kowtowed, and the shouts of "Long live the emperor" shook the entire palace.
Yan Jiaoran sat on the dragon throne and said in a loud voice: "Li Yaoshi, the commander of the Shen Ce Army, is loyal to the country, suppressing wars and rebellions, and saving the Great Zhou from danger many times. He was named the Duke of Weiguo and given a pair of eight-treasure purple gold maces, which can be used to strike down tyrants and slanderous ministers!"
Medicine Master Li held up his tablet and kowtowed, his voice resounding like a bell, "I have long been blessed by Your Majesty, and have always cherished a heart dedicated to serving my country. I have done my humble part in suppressing the rebellion, and even though I have endured thousands of miles of wind and frost, and countless miles of dust, I have not dared to slack off for a moment. I am now maintaining the stability of the Great Zhou, thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing. I dare not take any credit for it!"
At this moment, Pharmacist Li was in high spirits, his face was as red as the sun and his eyes were like tiger eyes.
His black beard hung down to his chest, and his thick eyebrows stuck out from his temples.
He wore a golden flame crown with precious clouds on his head, a bright red robe, a purple gold mace on his waist, and had a strong physique.
Just standing in the hall, he exuded a majestic and domineering aura without even being angry.
Afterwards, Yan Jiaoran rewarded the soldiers under Li Yaoshi one by one, as well as Chen Wujiu, Wei Wuyin and others who properly resettled millions of disaster victims, completed the feat of work-for-relief and successfully built a canal.
The rewards bestowed by the tyrant queen have fostered a huge force in the court, led by Li Yaoshi and Chen Wujiu, which no one can ignore.
