Chapter 303 The Crown Prince Regents the State

The autumn hunt was over and the East Palace was crowded with people.

Bei Jingchu thought this was the peak of her career, but it was not until the emperor announced another piece of news that she realized what it felt like to be so popular.

Because of the infiltration of spies, the emperor was still worried after removing the nails, so he decided to lead the army to Yuhun in person this time.

Some people support and some people encourage.

The main reason for persuading her was that the battlefield was dangerous, but Bei Jing, who had been there before, thought it was not so bad.

The commanders are all in the rear camp, so it is not normal for a commander to charge into the enemy ranks in person.

If it was really a life-threatening danger, Aye would never have let her go.

But compared to Tai Chi Palace, it is indeed much more dangerous.

She believed that Aye had considered everything before making the decision.

It turned out that he did have some consideration - the crown prince would be in charge of the country.

Bei Jingchu got the double dragon talisman, which was the prince's jade seal, representing the emperor's power.

She also did not try to be humble and say that her son was not up to the task.

You are already the regent, but you are still not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility. What is the point of being the regent? You should just give up the throne as soon as possible.

The prerequisite for daring to do is to dare to think.

Seeing the child in a daze, Bei Heng just wanted to comfort him: You have been helping me deal with things for four years, now you are not afraid to try it yourself.

Before he could say anything, Bei Jingchu, who had reacted, immediately accepted the order and said, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Bei Heng's words of comfort were stuck in his throat.

Good, good, it’s this kind of self-confidence!

After seeing the army off, along with the reluctance to leave my father, I also felt a sense of relief as if a huge mountain had been lifted from my head.

No one in the entire capital has more power than her.

If she was a little more impatient, she could have waited for the army to leave for a while, taken advantage of the situation to rob, and directly taken power.

As for being afraid of the emperor's current military power?

He directly placed his trusted aides in the Ministry of Revenue to cut off their military supplies.

The dangerous thought flashed through Bei Jingchu's mind again, and he was frightened.

His grandfather, fortunately he doesn’t have the mind-reading system now.

She glanced furtively at Nian'er and the others beside her, pretending nothing had happened and looking innocent.

You can't have such dangerous thoughts. This is Aye's trust in her!

Besides, she didn't believe that Lao Deng didn't have a backup plan.

On Bei Jingchu's first day as Supervisory Council Director, she saw a report implicating her in forming a clique for personal gain.

Ah this......

Which genius came up with this charge?

If the prince has no power of his own, will he be a prince without any power?

Especially since she was a woman who came to power and had no people of her own, even if she was pushed to the throne by Aye, she could be pulled down immediately.

Achieve the speed of light abdication.

After looking at the name, it was not surprising that he was from an aristocratic family, the Huayuan Dong clan.

He was not an important official, so I have no impression of him.

After being suppressed by Aye, the aristocratic family became much quieter. With her own support, she was able to compete with the children of poor families and the emerging female officials.

It is said that the educational resources of aristocratic families are much better than those of other families, but few of the women in the family can make achievements.

For example, the Dong family had a young lady who wanted to go out and make her own way in the world, but her family sent her directly to a temple to become a nun.

This method is used to prove their family's integrity and innocence.

The young lady died of illness not long after. No one knew whether she died of illness or because she was trapped in a cage after seeing hope and died of depression.

When Bei Jing first heard this, she was not angry but tired.

I have seen too many of them, and Dong’s case is not the first one.

The useless etiquette and rules of the aristocratic families can create no value for Dai Viet and can even oppress people.

She even heard that they were not so outrageous before Ayeh took action to suppress them.

On the contrary, after falling into poverty, people pay more attention to the so-called ancestral etiquette, which means they have not forgotten the family's backbone and heritage.

Bei Jingchu only had contempt for this group of pedants, and when he understood them, he complained to Nian'er: "They are just a bunch of cowards."

"If you can't defeat the enemies outside, then swing your sword against the weak ones at home."

"Using women's fear to maintain their sense of superiority."

Nian'er looked at her eccentric expression silently.

"I have always believed that integrity is something that grows on a person's spine. Some people can still lean on a woman's belt and feel complacent about controlling the fate of the weak."

"I feel that I am a noble, clean, and unyielding person, a scholar who is different from the secular world."

Now, facing the cannon fodder that was delivered to him, Bei Jingchu closed the memorial and decided to start with this person.

Bei Jingchu picked up the brush and dipped it in vermilion ink.

The bright red handwriting determines a person's final fate.

This noble family member was sentenced to beheading for framing the crown prince, and the entire Dong family was exiled.

After the imperial edict was issued, naturally a bunch of aristocratic officials who were closely related to the Dong family responded with advice.

But Bei Jingchu waited until nightfall, but no notification came from the East Palace.

She thought for a while, then snorted and said to Haoyue, "Let's go to bed early tonight. We will have a good argument in the morning court tomorrow."

"When you go to the Liangyi Hall tomorrow morning, remember to bring Dong Zhe's memorial with you."

"It seems that these old guys are not planning to beg for mercy, but to cause trouble."

The noble families were related by marriage and had always been secretly in opposition to her.

If she were to operate on Dong, it would be impossible for others to just sit there and watch.

Since it's not a plea, then it can only be a challenge.

There wasn't even a traitor who came to surrender to her.

The aristocratic family... is truly united.

really.

The next morning, a man stepped out and said, "Your Highness! Dong Zhe is just being frank."

"If one's entire family is implicated for making a loyal remonstrance, how can the civil and military officials in the court dare to speak out their opinions?"

"Honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. Your Highness, do you want to listen to praise or close your ears and listen?"

Many people stood up again: "I second the motion!"

"I second the motion."

"I second the motion."

Chang Tingyi stood below, holding a tablet, seemingly in a trance.

Focus on the words written on the tablet: Ask for mercy for Dong.

He took a deep breath and stepped out: "I second the motion."

Bei Jingchu waited for them to agree one by one.

She sat below the dragon chair, but the space above was vacant.

She took out the copied backup memorial and threw it down.

"Stop confusing right and wrong and confusing the public here!"

"Look at what he wrote. You heard it from others, and you don't even know the content of the memorial, but you think I'm abusing harsh punishment, right?"

Bei Jingchu used too much force and threw the memorial to Chang Tingyi's feet, who picked it up.

After browsing, he shook his head at his colleagues who were looking over at him.

Indeed, it is just wild speculation.

That fool is such a hindrance.

Bei Jingchu took advantage of the victory and continued: "Even if it is an impeachment, evidence is needed!"

"Rather than making groundless claims!"

"If this isn't a frame-up, then what is!"

"You said I abused my power for personal gain. I want to ask if this is the crime you framed Emperor Chu for?"

No one dared to refute.

In fact, this matter could be a big deal or a small one. They knew very well that if the emperor was here, the man would at most be demoted and dismissed from his post.

This was also the confidence that the kid from the Dong family had in submitting his memorial, but he never expected that the emperor would lead the army in person and the prince would be in charge of the country.

He ran straight into the prince's hand.

The prince also took this opportunity to announce to the court and the public the consequences of offending her.

"Today, anyone who does not know the truth and makes random requests for mercy will be fined two months' salary."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Bei Jingchu, who saved some money for the treasury, thought she was very smart.

After all, there is still fighting on the front line, and saving a little money can save a lot of food and fodder.

But on his face, he still looked serious.
