When everyone kneels, those who don't kneel will become very conspicuous.

The four bachelors in the current cabinet are still standing, and most of the military attachés over there are also still standing.

As for the nobles, they did not kneel down, but gathered together in twos and threes, whispering to each other, and discussing something in a low voice.

At this time, Zheng Xiu stood out like a chicken, standing upright, which was in sharp contrast to the group of people around him who couldn't stand up straight.

At this time, the first assistant glanced at the second assistant, but unfortunately the second assistant didn't see it.

It was just this one step that made them regret it now.

Because the empress has successfully been angered by these people.

"Okay, if I don't allow it, won't you all get up? Will you all just kneel here?"

The empress looked at the crowd of people kneeling in Ulala. These ministers were old and new. Some were elected by her grandfather when he was still alive, some were elected by her father when he was still alive, and some were elected after she took the throne.

But it happened that these officials they had personally selected were all disobeying their own will at this moment.

They unite to force themselves into a palace. Okay, if it weren't for Zheng Xiu's sword, would I have to accept their request now?

Very good, very good, these are the Gonggun princes of her Great Xia.

"Shang Shu, they are all speaking for you. Do you have anything to say?"

The empress looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance who was kneeling there and asked.

She knows that when people face the choice of death.

If they don't dare to die the first time, they won't dare to die the second time they need to die.

Shangshu Hube's heart was beating very fast at this moment.

He recalled many things in one moment.

Just like when I first passed the exam, I just wanted to be a good official and serve the country.

But later he found that it was too difficult.

He had a pure heart, but because of his humble position, the emperor could not see him and would not reuse him.

But it doesn't matter, he knows this is because he hasn't had a chance to show his ability yet.

After all, the emperor has so many things to do, he has no time to care about a small person like him. He believes that as long as his official position is promoted, everything will be fine.

In this way, one year has passed, two years have passed, three years have passed, and five years have passed.

When he had even given up hope, some people approached him and gave him a chance to plead for his country.

There is a difficult task assigned by the emperor.

Building bridges is the most unpleasant thing.

But he is not afraid because he feels that this is one of the few opportunities he has.

He started building bridges. Although the money was always insufficient, it didn't matter because he could build bridges.

He can use the least amount of materials to build the strongest bridge. He has this ability.

Then, the money allocated to him became less and less, and the people allocated to him also became less and less.

But it doesn't matter, because he believes that he can do it, and that his achievements can be seen by the emperor.

He tried his best to build the bridge every time, and worked hard every time, but this gradually made him tired.

But before the emperor's attention came, disaster struck first. Because of a decimal mistake, the bridge collapsed.

This made him so panicked that he would dream about someone coming to arrest him every night.

It was at this moment that the adult who had supported him before stood up.

"I have seen your ability. You can build a bridge that can withstand the flood, but can you build a bridge that can withstand the holy will?"

From that moment on he knew that no matter how well you build a bridge, it is useless if no one appreciates it.

From then on, he never built a bridge again or used his ancestral craftsmanship. He began to spend all his time giving gifts.

Gradually, he figured out the preferences of all the officials, and would order people to create some strange and obscene things to win the favor of the adults.

His promotion speed is getting faster and faster, and he has almost caught up with the adult who promoted him.

Now he has reached the sixth level, but he still treats that gentleman with respect.

Because he knows that he can't figure out what's best, and foreign ministers are foreign ministers.

But this time, he suddenly felt tired and he didn't want to continue to figure it out.

Looking back on his life, he found that the happiest time was actually that time that he thought he couldn't bear to look back on and was so cute and silly.

Because at that time, that young man was really praying for the country, and he really built one bridge after another for the people on his own.

Has it been so long ago?

If there is a chance, let me leave the bridge-building method behind.

But a sinner like me shouldn’t have such an opportunity, right?

Thinking of this, he took off the black gauze hat on his head and whispered.

"I beg for bones."

Everyone present knew that begging for bones was a fool's errand.

But at this time, none of the other ministers would criticize the Minister of Industry.

After all, although he did not directly take responsibility, he also did not directly expose others, right?

Several bachelors' eyes were also brightened. Rather than saying that this was a foolish move, it would be better to say that this was the safest move.

As long as everyone can work together to reduce this big matter to a trivial matter, then that is the most correct choice.

The empress is still the same empress, and the ministers are still the same ministers.

One less minister of the Ministry of Industry is just giving others a pit.

Since he is begging for bones, let him go home and retire. As long as they jointly put pressure on His Highness, this matter will be nothing more than nothing in the end.

The empress saw the expressions of those ministers and knew what they were thinking.

It's the same thing again, it's the same thing again, I want to use someone to block my mouth.

Then all parties began to blame each other, and in the process, the evidence of this person's guilt was erased bit by bit.

When the case was finally investigated, everything would be taken care of by him alone, but when the house was ransacked, not even a tael of silver could be recovered.

Because that money was either used for other fair and equitable transactions, and was spent on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Either the warehouse was stolen, and everything was stolen by a gangster who didn't know where he came from.

There are also those who are crazy and go directly to gambling houses to launder money and gamble so much that they lose nothing, but these people still have enough to eat and drink.

Even the last bit of money that was copied had been redistributed by them before it reached the treasury.

The empress' temples were throbbing, and she felt that the anger had gone straight to her forehead.

This is thirteen million taels, and then just forget about it, right?

That's all my money, it's the people's wealth and the people's money!

Do they really think I'm a dead person, or do they think they can't tell?

Just before she was about to get angry, she suddenly saw Zheng Xiu standing among the people lying down.

After all, Zheng Xiu was not short in the first place, but this time he looked even taller and taller under the background of other people.

There was no emotion or anger on that handsome face, but the empress felt that she had found the most suitable candidate.

After all, this kid is not afraid of death because he dares to scold himself in front of the entire court.

Even he has proven that he can be a knife to her.

Because he only worked for one day at the Ministry of Industry and found out thirteen million taels of stolen money.

In this case, it would be most appropriate to let him do this, right?

If there is a bachelor behind this incident, let him avenge his family.

If other countries are behind this incident, then it is a national feud.

If there are other forces or immortal cultivating sects behind this matter, then let him realize his personal ambitions.

After all, among the ten deadly sins, the third one to blame is Immortal Sect.

"Zheng Xiu, come forward and listen to the seal."

After the empress made up her mind, she said to Zheng Xiu.

"I have given you a yellow vest, and I promised you that you will not bow to the official, so I will give you the Shangfang Sword to kill corrupt officials at the top and sycophants at the bottom. If you see an official who dares to stop you, kill him directly. Let me ask you
