Huoshui finally understood why Her Majesty the Queen Mother said that mind reading might not be a magical power, but it could very likely become a "deep pit".
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Min Huang was quite restrained and did not punish all those court officials who "harbored evil intentions" one by one.
Because, as she had said before, if we really use absolute moral standards of good and evil, right and wrong to judge, there is hardly a good person in the entire court.
As for Min Huang, listening to those courtiers whose faces had "loyalty" written on them and whose mouths spoke words of loyalty, he could hear completely different voices -
Tsk tsk, that’s the male protagonist. If it were an ordinary person, he would have exploded long ago.
However, Min Huang only "refuted" a few ministers and did not bring 99% of the court officials to justice. He was already very rational and restrained!
"Your Majesty, do you think Min Huang will overturn the car?"
"Oh, I suddenly feel that the so-called mind reading is not that good."
"It's rare to be confused. It's like bacteria. Bacteria will definitely make people uncomfortable, but if it were truly sterile, people wouldn't be able to live a normal life."
"It's the same with people! If I can't even be completely selfless and free of distractions myself, how can I expect others to do the same?"
Perhaps Huoshui had been under great pressure in the meeting hall these days, and he kept chattering in Gu Qingcheng's ears.
Gu Qingcheng remained calm and showed no curiosity, allowing the trouble to "vent".
Then, she would extract many key points from the troublemaker's "gossip".
Although she was not in the meeting hall, she was able to understand the developments in the court at the first time.
For example, the severe drought in Yuzhou and Qizhou, and the local officials' ineffective disaster relief efforts, have triggered small-scale civil unrest.
For example, several vassal states in southern Xinjiang took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and the unstable foundation to try to cause chaos and repeatedly caused trouble on the border.
Several generals with military honors "volunteered to fight".
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were constantly complaining about being poor – no money! no money! no money!
No money for disaster relief!
There is even less money to fight a war!
In addition to these government affairs, some court officials were punished because of Min Huang's magical power.
Following Yu Heng, several other officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War were beaten with a stick.
Several heads of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites were also reprimanded in court. Although they were not beaten with a stick, they still lost face.
Among them were the fathers and brothers of the concubines.
Uncle of Concubine Yu, grandfather of Concubine Cui De, uncle of Concubine Su Shu, elder brother of Concubine Dong Xian...
Of course, Queen Gu’s family members were not spared either.
Queen Gu's grandfather, Mr. Gu, a veteran of three dynasties, was highly respected and rigorous in his actions, with no distractions in his mind (this is the key point!), and was not angered by Min Huang.
Queen Gu's father, cousins, and others were slightly inferior, and Min Huang caught them in the act and reprimanded them in court.
Even the father-in-law of the emperor was embarrassed in public, so others would be no exception.
The Gu family was also "established" by Min Huang!
"Your Majesty, aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry?"
"The way Min Huang treats the Gu family clearly shows that he doesn't care about you."
You can love the house and hate the dog in it, or you can hate the house and hate the dog in it.
Huoshui is a man of true character.
After hearing this, Gu Qingcheng chuckled and said, "Huoshui, don't say such stupid things in the future."
What's the point of caring or not caring? She and Min Huang are not really in a romantic relationship.
Cooperation is cooperation, and it must not be linked to feelings.
Min Huang would reprimand the Gu family in the court, and he definitely had his own interests in mind.
As for the Gu family, although they endured Min Huang's criticism, they were not really passive recipients of the beating.
Afterwards, if Min Huang did not voluntarily give up certain interests, the Gu family would take them themselves.
As for Min Huang, if he still wants to use the Gu family as a scapegoat next time, haha, the scene will not be so "harmonious".
The court has always been a place for power struggles, not a place for romance.
The Gu family was scolded by Min Huang, but fundamentally, it was the Gu family who "made the mistake" first.
Well, Min Huang’s words were well-reasoned, how could Gu Qingcheng vent her anger on him?
"But, but, Min Huang is relying on mind reading to deceive people, and he has no evidence!" Huoshui was still a little unconvinced.
Gu Qingcheng's smile grew even brighter. "Yes, you also know that he has no evidence!"
At the beginning, the court officials, including the Gu family, were completely unprepared and were caught off guard by Min Huang.
Moreover, they couldn't figure out whether Min Huang was really in control of everything or just bluffing.
But it won’t be long before these bigwigs in the court will notice something unusual.
Huoshui: ...Your Majesty the Queen is so wise!
The one-on-one conversation a few days ago was quickly verified.
Huoshui: "Sure enough, some bigwigs have already started to doubt it, and they are trying to resist in the court."
Isn't it possible for Min Huang to point out the secrets (illegal deeds) of a certain court official at the drop of a hat? Then go on, do you have any witnesses or material evidence?
Min Huang: ...
PS: Thank you Qin Miany for the reward, thank you everyone for your support, thank you!
