After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Chapter 127 The Situation Has Been Determined

The hall was exceptionally quiet with no one talking. Wen Zhimiao yawned, leaned into Su Qingluo's arms, and closed his eyes unconsciously.

In the silence, she slept soundly.

When Su Qingluo realized that she had fallen asleep, he put down the knife in his hand and adjusted his position for her.

The new emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, held the little princess in his arms. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, his expression was not as cold as when he faced the ministers.

Su Qingluo raised her eyes again and met Yun Zhou's eyes.

After thinking carefully, he spoke again: "Yun Zhou has made great contributions in protecting Xuandu this time, so he is specially appointed as the Supervisory Censor, in charge of supervising all officials."

"Luan Xuefeng has come all the way from the border to Xuandu this time to protect the peace of our dynasty. He has been promoted to the position of Chief of Staff of the Imperial Palace to protect the safety of the imperial city."

"Wen Rongxue has made great contributions in saving the emperor. Shun Wang's Crown Prince Wen Mingzhe has committed misconduct and has been stripped of his title of Crown Prince. Wen Rongxue is named Shun Wang's Crown Prince and inherits Shun Wang's title. He is also granted special powers to monitor the southern countries."

After Su Qingluo conferred titles on the three persons, the ministers became agitated again.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! There has never been a reason for a woman to serve as an official in the previous dynasty." The only ones they opposed were Yun Zhou and Wen Rongxue. After all, Luan Xuefeng was still a man at the moment.

Several old ministers who thought they had a clear conscience gave another advice.

Su Qingluo couldn't help but laugh: "You said there is no precedent of a woman being the ruler of the world, so I can't sit on the throne, right?"

"Please put aside their identities as women, given their talents, they are not qualified to take on these positions, right?"

Following Su Qingluo's questioning, the old ministers fell silent again.

Qi Taihong stepped out again and said, "I think I can handle this."

Su Qingluo's eyes fell on him with some complexity.

Qi Taihong was indeed a man of the overall situation, but she really didn't dare to use him again.

If she had not been in this situation, she would not think that Qi Taihong should not seize the throne.

"Please think about it, everyone, and see if there is anything you want to explain." Su Qingluo said lightly.

The feeling of oppression fell upon the courtiers once again.

Finally, a young official with a weaker psychological quality stepped forward and said, "Xiao Yuanju once gave me a sum of gold and silver and asked me to do some small things."

Su Qingluo asked him to explain in detail what the little thing was.

After saying this, Su Qingluo did not punish him directly.

I just wanted to ask if anyone has anything else to explain.

Then a few more people came out.

They all said that what Xiao Yuanju and Wen Mingzhe asked them to do were just small tasks, but when these small tasks were added together, they just opened the door for convenience for Xiao Yuanju and Wen Mingzhe.

"You know, if the people from the Overwatch Council had discovered the kerosene hidden in the city a little later, the palace would have been burned tonight the moment Wen Mingzhe failed."

Su Qingluo's eyes were gloomy.

After Shi Guanchao left, the people from the Supervisory Council have been fully assisting the Dragon Shadow Guards in investigating all the strange phenomena in Xuandu City.

After hearing Su Qingluo's words, the officials fell silent one by one.

Not long after, Cui Suhua returned to the hall covered in blood.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the rebels outside the city have been pacified. More than a thousand rebels have been captured, and the death toll has not yet been counted." Cui Suhua, dressed in armor, with bloodstains on his armor, not sure whether it was from the enemy or his own.

"General Cui, you have worked hard."

Su Qingluo carried Wen Zhimiao down and handed her over to Yun Zhou in front of everyone: "Master Yun, take Yuan Zhao back to rest. She has woken up and will cry if she doesn't see anyone familiar."

Yun Zhou met Su Qingluo's eyes. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she hugged the sleeping Wen Zhimiao.

"promise."

After Yun Zhou turned around and left, the door of the hall was closed.

Su Qingluo took the knife handed over by the guard and walked step by step among the ministers.

"The opportunity I gave you has expired."

After saying this, he quickly stabbed the Minister of War in the abdomen with a knife: "Mr. Xing, as the Minister of War, you accepted a bribe of 500 taels of gold and provided Wen Mingzhe with the military manufacturing plan. Is this a crime punishable by death?"

After she finished speaking, she decisively drew out her knife, and Lu Jiaoyue and other imperial doctors rushed forward to treat her.

Su Qingluo looked at the Minister of the Central Secretariat again.

"Master Zhongshu, can you tell me why the reinforcements took so long to arrive when my father, the Marquis of Zhenbei, was fighting against the Northern Rong? Why did tens of thousands of soldiers have to fight to the death with the Northern Rong army, and in the end, less than one-tenth of the original number survived?"

The Minister of the Central Secretariat met Su Qingluo's cold eyes and could only say tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this matter has been determined that year. It was due to the influence of natural disasters. The avalanche blocked the road."

"Oh? Then who deliberately caused the avalanche?" Su Qingluo was still smiling, but it made the Minister of the Central Secretariat feel terrified.

These people have been in high positions for a long time and have not experienced the feeling of being scrutinized like this for a long time.

The tip of the knife cut across his throat, and Su Qingluo chuckled: "I will not kill you. There are still doubts about what happened back then. Let's wait for the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Supervisory Council to investigate again before we make a decision."

But he escaped, while others who took a chance did not.

Wen Rongxue stood by and watched the Dali Temple Minister call out the names, although Su Qingluo did not do it himself.

But she sat on the platform with an expressionless face, and no one could tell anything.

After everyone was counted, almost one-third of the people in the entire hall were missing.

Su Qingluo was too crazy, so crazy that Wen Rongxue felt that she could not compare to her.

But her madness is the madness that makes everything under control.

"Everyone has worked hard today, go home and rest." It was almost dawn, and Su Qingluo waved her hand and asked everyone to go home.

The aftermath of the battle outside had not yet been cleaned up. When the ministers walked out, they saw corpses scattered on the ground. The weak civil servants who had always lived in Xuandu City had never seen such a scene.

Some civil servants who couldn't bear it vomited on the spot.

The military generals were much better.

After everyone had left, the imperial guards began to clean up the mess.

The palace servants from the six bureaus and twenty-four departments also went out.

Before dawn, the entire palace looked brand new again.

And those concubines living in the North Palace are destined to have sleepless nights tonight.

Especially after hearing the news that Wen Huai had died, those who were mentally fragile fainted.

No one in Beigong knows who the new emperor is.

Qi Taihong was the last to leave. He thought Su Qingluo would keep him and say something, but Su Qingluo just waved his hand and asked him to go back and rest.

Wen Rongxue and Luan Xuefeng also left the palace with the ministers.

The Red Tassel Army and the City Defense Army had already cleaned up Xuandu City, and the ground felt wet after being washed by water, as if there had been a heavy rain.

But the smell of blood in the air has not completely dissipated yet.

Everyone was silent and dared not say much. The Red Tassel Army could be seen everywhere, so these old foxes did not dare to act presumptuously.

Su Qingluo returned to Zhangtai Palace. Wen Zhimiao had already woken up and Yun Zhou was with her.

Seeing her come in, both of them looked at her with the same joy in their eyes.

Wen Zhimiao ran towards her again, threw himself into her arms, and called her "Mom" softly.

Su Qingluo's violent aura completely dissipated.

Meeting Yun Zhou's gentle eyes again, Su Qingluo relaxed completely.
