Before daybreak, Hongling and Qingque hold a whole set of Queen's service and wait respectfully at the back hall door. Shen Ninghua didn't sleep well all night. He opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps at the door.
"Queen, it's time to get up."
"Come in."
Under the leadership of Hongling and Qingque, a large number of maids flock in. Shen Ninghua was served to wash his face and make-up and put on the cumbersome Queen's service one by one.
Hongling helped Shen Ninghua arrange her skirt and cuffs, and Qingque brought her porridge: "Niang, you can use some porridge. It will take a long time for you to wait in the morning."
Shen Ninghua nodded and quietly used most of the bowl of porridge. In the back hall, there was silence, and Qingque and Hongling were in a tense mood, as if the nerves of the whole body were tensed up. Shen Ninghua put down the bowl, looked at the two people, slightly smile, did not speak. When a servant came at the door and said it was time, she got up and went to Chengqian hall.
In Chengqian hall, civil and military officials were separated on both sides. There was a lot of noise in the hall. Many people looked at the direction of the gate from time to time, waiting for the new empress to appear. Many people even began to speculate maliciously about what the queen would be in a hurry in the face of them. It was good for them to follow the orders of Baili Junyi, but they didn't pay attention to a queen.
However, the officials promoted by Baili Junyi are different. They are all loyal to the emperor. Although they do not agree with the empress's act of supervising the country, since it is the will of Baili Junyi, they will resolutely implement it. If the empress can't hold on later, they will certainly try their best to save the empress's face and prevent the situation in the court from getting out of control.
"The Queen's mother is here!" After waiting for a long time, the propaganda finally rang out. The originally noisy hall was silent, and a silent pressure spread. For a time, the new officials were staring at the old ministers with more and more bad looks. They were deliberately embarrassing the empress.
Shen Ninghua, who is in the orthodox service of the queen, appears in the hall. She steps up the high steps step by step through the royal road. The gorgeous Phoenix robe is dragged on the ground, and the glory rolls with her walking. Then she slowly sits on the Dragon chair.
"See the Queen's mother, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."
Shen Ninghua has swept all the ministers in the hall. In fact, she has just stood beside her for a while. Naturally, she knows the instant change from noise to silence in the hall, and she can feel the thoughts of some ministers thoroughly. At this time, she sits on the top of the hall and raises her hand slightly: "you love Qing, you are all in peace."
"Thank you, empress."
Many ministers looked at Shen Ninghua secretly and found that she was sitting directly on the throne belonging to the emperor. They were immediately dissatisfied. The official Qiu Ming immediately stood up: "empress, the emperor has ordered you to supervise the country, but you are the queen. Even if you have the power to supervise the country, you should not sit on the emperor's chair. This is really disrespectful to the emperor."
As soon as this speech came out, the following immediately echoed: "yes, what Lord Qiu said is reasonable."
"It's not proper for the empress to act this time."
Shen Ninghua continued to sit with a cool look and watched the courtiers below quarrel.
When the new officials saw that the old ministers quarreled too much, they couldn't sit back and ignore it. Many people joined the battle group immediately:
"Lord Qiu's words were wrong. The Emperor himself gave the imperial edict to the empress. What's more, the empress, who is the emperor's wife, naturally has the right to sit on the Dragon chair when she is in charge of supervising the country, even if the emperor is not present Will you care if Mr. Qiu's management is too broad? "
"Yes, the status of the empress is different now, so it's OK to sit on the Dragon chair."
About a quarter of an hour later, the scene became more and more noisy. Many officials waited for Shen's reaction to see how she would end up.
In the hall, the new ministers' faces became more and more embarrassed. At this time, they suddenly realized that the Lord Qiu had chosen a modest question to make them quarrel. Now, no one is silent and the Queen's mother is afraid that no one can hear. If this scene can not be suppressed, the situation will be more difficult to control.
Shen Ninghua listened to their quarrel, and raised his hand slightly: "come on!"
Her voice is not big, even because the temple is too noisy, many people did not hear. Naturally, the first troublemaker, Mr. Qiu, and others always pay close attention to Shen Ninghua. Naturally, they heard and saw her movements. However, they pretended not to hear her in their hearts. They continued to speak loudly, waiting for her to lose face.
"Yes
All of a sudden, a resounding harmony suddenly rang out. The sound was thick and powerful, and the footstep sound of entering the door was particularly amazing. The quarrelling officials in the hall were startled. Subconsciously, they looked at the door and couldn't believe it. The well-equipped dragon scale army rushed in from the gate of the hall, occupying the whole back part of the hall.
The queen even transferred the dragon scale army into the hall! Now the dragon scale army has been cleaned and sorted out by Baili Junyi, which is quite different from the pro army of Baili Qingcang. Shen Ninghua is very handy.
"Detain Qiu Ming, remove the flower plume and put him in the prison for disposal." Shen Ninghua's voice was cold, and he didn't even increase the volume in order to make people hear clearly, but it made people confused.Qiu Ming, who took the lead in offering advice, immediately cried out: "empress, I just did my duty as a speech officer. You can't treat Wei Chen like this. Don't you make all the speech officials in the court feel cold. Who dares to give advice in the future?"
"Speech officer? This palace respects the speech official, naturally won't let you loyal admonishment person chill, but, do you deserve to be a speech officer? "
Qiu Ming's face turned red: "Wei Chen has been an official for dozens of years. He has tried to remonstrate many times. How can he not be a speech officer? Empress empress, if you don't give me an explanation, I don't need to deal with it today. I'll run into this hall of Chengqian by myself, and I'll be known as an official with righteous words! "
As soon as he said this, the officials at the bottom also glared at Shen Ninghua. Yan Guan is a group of the most iron and upright officials in the court. They are stubborn and even the emperor can't do anything about it. As soon as Shen Ninghua came up, he was attacked by the speech officer. He was almost punched in the hornet's nest.
Shen Ninghua slowly stood up and spread the Phoenix robe embroidered with a hundred birds facing the Phoenix at her feet. She stood upright, like a proud Phoenix, with unspeakable nobility and coldness: "you are still unconvinced, so you can tell this palace what kind of person the speech officer should be?"
Qiu Ming flung aside the bodyguard who wanted to detain him. He tidied up his clothes and said with righteous words: "the speech officer should supervise the injustice, admonish the emperor, and dare to speak even if he sacrificed his life."
Shen Ninghua sneered: "it seems that you know this thing."
Qiu Ming's face turned red: "empress, this is a great insult to the minister. Please ask me. What do you think is the speech officer?"
Shen Ninghua raised his voice slightly, and his cold voice echoed in the hall like a broken jade: "all officials who choose their words should first of all take three things first: first, they do not love wealth; second, they value fame and integrity; second, they know how to govern the body. In the eyes of many people, this is already the standard of speech officials, but this palace believes that this is not enough! "
He does not love wealth and honor, cherishes fame and morality, and knows how to govern the body. When these three points were mentioned, the speech officials in the hall trembled. They raised their heads and looked at the high queen, and their rebelliousness gradually disappeared. A senior official came out. He was wearing a first-class official uniform. He was thin and even a little rickety. But as he walked around, everyone's eyes focused on him.
He was Zhu Zheng, the speech officer of the former dynasty. He had been put into prison and tortured by the emperor for many times because of the fatuous emperor of the former dynasty. His family members were also slaughtered by the emperor's order. Later, when the former dynasty was broken, this minister had to die for his country. Although he was rescued, he realized that the emperor of Da'an could give people a better life. Therefore, although he did not want to die, he hung up An official who spoke in court did not say a word for many years. Seriously, he was a senior official.
Zhu Zheng went to the center of the hall and knelt down respectfully to Shen Ninghua. He bowed down on the ground and saluted her with the most formal etiquette. Then he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "please set up a new standard for the speech officer." The queen said that she thought it was not enough to do the three points in writing, that is to say, she had higher requirements.
With Zhu Zheng's lead, the other speech officials quickly knelt down and said, "please ask the empress to set a new standard for the speech officials."
Shen Ninghua said in a cold voice, "well, this palace has said this sentence from Lord Zhu. First of all, officials must choose people who are loyal but forget their families; second, they must be upright and upright, and dare to speak without worrying about gains and losses. Thirdly, they must have outstanding knowledge and ability. They can not only understand the government affairs of the court, understand the pros and cons, but also have a wide range of ancient and modern history
"Good!" Zhu Zheng cried out and kowtowed deeply to Shen Ninghua. His old figure was trembling slightly. This is the standard that speech officials should have and this is the realm he pursues!
Shen Ninghua walked slowly down the steps and came to Zhu Zheng. She leaned over to help Zhu Zheng up: "Mr. Zhu, when you were an official in the previous dynasty, you were able to be impartial and truthful, good at distinguishing right and wrong, daring to discuss straight, diligent and cheap. Although I don't know why you didn't speak after the founding of Da'an country, I'm grateful for your opening your mouth today."
"I have not opened my mind before. I've made the empress laugh. In the future, please don't despise the noisy old minister."
Shen Ninghua said with a smile: "Lord Zhu has an iron mouth. If there is anything wrong with what we have done in this palace, please show mercy."
"How could that be possible?" Zhu Zheng shook his head seriously in exchange for a smile from the new officials. If they didn't know that Lord Zhu could not be bought, they would have suspected that this was a play rehearsed by Shen and Zhu in advance. It's no wonder that the emperor can trust the country to the empress. The empress is really not an ordinary person!
