As long as Si Yirong is not mentally ill, he will not damage the queen's reputation and bet his own future at this moment.
"How young was the stepdaughter of the Si family when she entered the capital?" Zhao Zongheng asked Si Yirong, looking down at Si Yirong unhurriedly.
"Back to the emperor, I must be fifteen or sixteen years old..." Si Yirong's heart trembled. When the emperor personally mentioned his stepmother, Si Yirong still felt uncertain.
"People who grew up with the same mother do not believe it, but they believe in a daughter who has only been in Beijing for a few years. I would like to ask you where you got the evidence." Zhao Zongheng looked down slowly.
Everyone said: "The Queen Mother has a nightmare because she misses the late emperor so much that a woman made a false promise and performed a Dharma ceremony. In your mouth, she became a monster and caused trouble."
"So the late emperor cannot be thought of or mourned?" Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes gently and said: "In your eyes, I am such a fool who was deceived, did not listen to advice, and wasted on the people?"
"Okay, since you like to take care of my family affairs so much, then I will also take care of yours."
"According to my decree, the Civil Judgment Division will be established from now on. The consort Qin Huai will be the chief judge, and the left and right guardians will be the Holy King and General Han to assist in the investigation of civil and family cases. Anyone who spoils his concubines will destroy his wife, mutilate his children, and has a lax style.
, entering and exiting Fengyue Land, etc. will be investigated and dealt with."
"From now on, the Queen's case will be heard. Anyone who can prove that the Queen is possessed by an evil spirit can be sued." Zhao Zongheng looked at the people below calmly. The words he spoke were so coercive that almost everyone was stunned.
With eyes wide open, no one thought that the emperor would burn all the civil and military officials in the court once he solved the case.
The ministers looked at the emperor who was sitting in a high position, and the solemn look between their eyebrows seemed to tell everyone that if they didn't let him have an easy time, then the whole world would not have an easy time.
The evil paradox is established, and it is not easy to dispel it so easily. This is just the first step taken by Zhao Zongheng.
There is a wave of evil in the capital. Which of the ministers in the court and central government can be clean? In the officialdom, they may be upright and resolute, but in the inner palace, who has no dirty things? It is the most incorruptible minister, the concubine at home.
There are also fights that never stop.
It is absolutely normal for a few women to die in the back house, let alone those who plot against their heirs.
Most of the family matters were dealt with by the family, but now that the imperial power intervened, it suddenly caused a stir in the capital.
How can the ministers of each family still have the mood to report to the Queen? They all have no time to think about themselves and find ways to erase the stains on their homes.
Zhao Zongheng was very smart. When it came to controlling the courtiers' homes, he didn't punish them with salaries or official positions. He only brought matters related to the courtiers' homes to the court for discussion, and let them go after being beaten with a few sticks, seemingly unharmed.
It's a twitch of muscles and bones, but it's really embarrassing.
This move is indeed a clever one, and it is all about treating the other person in his own way, as if you want to discuss the royal family background, then I will also take care of your family background.
At the same time, Si Haoze secretly visited the temple, and King Jing was investigating whether the Concubine Xian and the Queen Mother had interacted with anyone outside.
"The emperor killed the monk too quickly." Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhao Zongheng were sitting opposite each other, with their heads lowered and flipping through the letters in their hands. The secret guards under his hands were constantly transmitting information about the residence of Lord Chaozhong.
Things.
Zhao Yuanzhen has never felt as disgusted as he does at this moment. No matter the struggle for imperial power or the turmoil of the court, nothing is as mind-numbing as the calculations of these trivial and shady women.
