Seeing that the emperor did not stop him, the official from the Ministry of Rites became even more excited.
"Our dynasty governs the world with rites and laws. Even criminals should not be tortured. Yet, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice actually invented the Ten Major Penal Codes!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and when he recited the ten major criminal laws, many people got goose bumps.
"I am wronged. Minister Tang's words are totally inappropriate.
As the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, I naturally handle the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. Those who can be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice are all death row prisoners who have committed heinous crimes.
If the Ministry of Justice doesn't use torture, will Minister Tang be sent to reform the prisoners?"
After sorting out the information, Chen Miaoyi discovered that the original owner was really a cruel person. She had so many ways of torturing prisoners, and there were very few prisoners in her hands who did not tell the truth.
He entered the Ministry of Justice at the age of fifteen and rose through the ranks step by step. He was disliked by countless people, who all felt that he came in because of his family, and that it would be better for him to be a rich and idle person. Why did he have to come to the court to share a piece of the pie with everyone?
Before she came, the position of the Ministry of Justice was closely watched by various factions.
However, Chen Miaoyi was ruthless and gained the emperor's appreciation with her outstanding performance. She also silenced the mouths of everyone in the court and secured her position as the Minister of Justice.
If she doesn't make any serious mistakes, she will be promoted to Minister after the Minister of Justice is gone.
"You, you have no regard for etiquette at all?! You are so cruel and ruthless, and you have the appearance of a bodhisattva!"
I hate her, but I have to admit that she is pretty.
Chen Miaoyi retorted bluntly, "If I valued etiquette and law, I would be in the Ministry of Rites instead of the Ministry of Justice. Minister Tang, don't overreach!
You can't even manage your own business, but you're meddling in other people's affairs!
Minister Tang looks like a devil. He would scare children whenever he goes out. How can he still be employed in the Ministry of Rites?"
As he was talking, he started to attack Tang Shilang's appearance, which made him so angry that his face turned red.
She had never lost a verbal battle. As the two of them were arguing more and more fiercely, the emperor had had enough of the show and started to stop them.
"Alright, my two beloved ministers are both pillars of our country, and you are both working for Great Xia. Why argue with me?
As for what Minister Tang said, if Minister Chen stays after the court session, I will punish him myself."
After the emperor spoke, no matter how unwilling you were, you had to retreat.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report. Your Majesty has been on the throne for eight years, but still has no children. I beg Your Majesty to put the country first!"
It was a routine procedure to induce labor when attending court, and even after becoming the emperor, she still had to be induced to give birth. Seeing the emperor covering his head with one hand as if he didn't want to listen, she smiled secretly.
"My dear, we just passed two selections, why are you in such a hurry?
I am still young."
But the ministers didn't think so. If there was no child for three years, they would have to rush to take a concubine. If the king of a country had no child for eight years, it would be a big deal!
The emperor has selected concubines every three years, but no one is pregnant. What can he do?
The emperor was also troubled, but there was nothing he could do. Since none of his concubines were pregnant, he began to suspect that there was something in the capital of Daxia that made it difficult for women to get pregnant.
"Your Majesty! The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and you cannot be without a queen for a day!"
This kind of drama would be performed every now and then. In the end, the concubine would say that she had a daughter who was willing to enter the palace as a concubine.
The emperor was already 25. At this age when most people have children at the age of 15 or 16, it was indeed too late for him. His brothers already had many children, and some of their children had married and had children.
He had no children yet, so it was no wonder that the ministers were anxious. In their eyes, the emperor was too old to afford any further delay.
After the court was dismissed, Minister Tang of the Ministry of Rites looked at her arrogantly with a triumphant smile.
"snort!"
He left proudly, as if he was very happy to see Chen Miaoyi stay.
Chen Miaoyi was led by a palace servant to the Yangxin Palace. The two had known each other for many years and had many similar political views, so their relationship was quite harmonious.
"Please sit down, no need to be so polite." The emperor was very casual and waved his hand to let everyone leave.
"Since you have nothing to do, just grind ink for me. Minister Tang impeached you again today, and I don't want to say anything.
You should be more low-key in your actions. You knew that the prisoner was in collusion with the Ministry of Rites, yet you still tortured him."
The emperor said this with some regret. When he was not in the court, his actions became more casual.
"I asked you before if you had a crush on that noble lady. Have you made up your mind?"
Chen Miaoyi recalled that the emperor had asked her this question in her memory. Only after she got married and had children could her Chen family be considered settled.
"No, I do not wish to marry."
I just want to conquer you!
"I heard that you only have that maid in your house? Although she's just a maid, she can still be a concubine. As for your wife, tell me who you like.
There is no noblewoman in the capital who is not worthy of you, Chen Miaoyi. With your looks, I'm afraid they would be eager to marry you!"
The emperor joked that everyone in the capital knew that Chen Miaoyi was not only young and promising, but also had an outstanding appearance, and was the descendant of a loyal hero, with all the buffs stacked on her!
The key point is that she never goes to brothels, takes concubines, and keeps herself clean. After she gets married, she doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law and can directly become the mistress of the house. Such a good man is hard to come by!
There was even a noble lady who met Chen Miaoyi by chance and acted like a hero saving the beauty, but the original body never saved her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I have no intention of marrying. I only want to serve the court and live up to Your Majesty's appreciation."
She spoke respectfully, but the emperor laughed heartily.
"If Minister Chen were a woman, I would probably take you as my concubine." The emperor said jokingly. There was a small red mole at the corner of his eye, which made him look even more seductive, not like a serious emperor.
Chen Miaoyi complained in her heart that this emperor really lived up to his appearance, and the way he spoke and acted was so... unconventional.
The ministers urged him to have a child, so he came to urge Chen Miaoyi to get married. Chen Miaoyi chatted with him for a while and then went home, without further delay.
"System, I want to use the body swap technique."
She lay exhausted on the bed. The body swap technique was like pulling her out and replacing her body, making her faint.
When she woke up again, Chen Miaoyi looked around with understanding. She was still in the Yangxin Palace. There was no one in the palace and the palace servants were waiting outside.
Now, Xue Guan’s soul should be in her body, right?
"Your Majesty, are you going to flip the cards tonight?" the eunuch came in and asked carefully.
"Sleep alone tonight."
What a joke! How could she sleep with women for the emperor? Wouldn't she be punished after she got the money back?
This kind of thing can only be thought about in the mind.
"System, let me see what's going on over there. Is the emperor awake?"
P: She entered the court under the name Chen Miaoyi. Using her original name sounded very feminine and could easily arouse suspicion. If I had known this earlier, I would have chosen a more neutral name!!
