As the imperial edict was read out, the expressions of the officials below changed slightly. This imperial edict had a real impact on them.
Once they commit a crime, not only will they bring trouble to themselves, but also to their descendants.
Many people's faces changed, and some even felt relieved.
After experiencing the taste of power, they naturally like the feeling of controlling power, and a single word can decide the life and death of countless people.
After becoming an official, not only will you have a high salary, but you will also have many people who respect you.
Life like this is much better than before, and it is really difficult to ask them to give up.
However, those who were cautious and wanted to be greedy before now secretly retracted their outstretched feet.
Once you are caught, not only will you suffer but your descendants will also suffer. It is really not worth it.
"Do you have any objections, my Lords?" Zhao Qingrui swept her indifferent eyes over everyone below. She had realized that blindly being kind would not work. Only by keeping them within the system and restraining their behavior could the court continue to operate healthily.
"Your Majesty, is this matter too harsh?" Zhou Yan stood up and said cautiously.
"How is it harsh? As long as you don't engage in corruption, these things will not affect you. Or has you, Lord Zhou, also committed a crime?" Zhao Qingrui said with a cold face.
"I have done nothing wrong. I shouldn't have doubted your majesty's decision. Please punish me, your majesty." Zhou Yan was stared at by Zhao Qingrui's cold eyes, and cold sweat broke out on his face.
For a moment, he almost thought that the emperor sitting at the top was the First Emperor.
No wonder the First Emperor chose her as his successor. In this respect, Prince Fusu could not compare to her.
"Then go back and reflect on yourself for three days, clear your mind, and don't talk nonsense next time."
"I obey your command." Zhou Yan respectfully returned to his original position with a bitter face and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Are you okay?" my friend asked softly.
"Nothing." Zhou Yan waved his hand.
He had his own considerations for standing up just now. He has accepted many students over the years, some of whom may have problems, and he was afraid of being implicated.
His Majesty has issued an edict this time. We must restrain these people more after we return, otherwise it will be too late when they really get into trouble.
