In the Taimiao, Rong Changan wore a phoenix crown with shining pearls and emeralds on it, and a bright robe with a phoenix pattern on his body. Accompanied by Yan Li, he stepped on the soft carpet, stepped up the jade steps, and crossed the tall Threshold——Rong Changan waited for countless days to cross this threshold. During these days, she was depressed and miserable, and now she was reborn from Nirvana.

Walked up the jade steps, knelt down before the ancestors of the Yan family, waited for the people in the Ministry of Rites to finish reading the edict script drafted by Yan Li and copied by the Hanlin scholars, and waited for the people in the Ministry of Rites to symbolically say the word "Li After "Success", Rong Changan officially became the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, officially became the queen of the Great Jing Kingdom, under one person, above ten thousand people!

Rong Changan looked at the memorial tablets in the Taimiao, and secretly swore in his heart that he must assist Yan Li, eradicate treacherous ministers, govern the country well, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world will be peaceful.

In addition, she also prayed silently, hoping that the ancestors of the Yan family could bless the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, find evidence as soon as possible, and bring Ziyan to justice!

"Queen, queen!" Yan Li lifted Rong Chang'an's arm, "The ceremony is over, it's time for us to go out to receive the congratulations from the officials!"

Unexpectedly, I was out of my mind!

Rong Changan smiled slightly, which was self-deprecating. She didn't want to make any mistakes in such an important ceremony.

So, with a smile on her face, she walked out of the Taimiao with Yan Lixiang gracefully and luxuriously, and stood on the high jade steps.

The sunshine, the air, are different from the past!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The queen is a thousand years old!"

The sound like a sea wave did not make Rong Changan forget the crisis. Her sharp eyes shot out sharp eyes, and she scanned the kneeling ministers, who came and who did not, she remembered them all in her heart.

She is not stingy, she can't tolerate other people's family having a vacation, but she is sure that most of these people who don't come have prejudice against her and are attached to Ziyan.

The ministers attached to Ziyan must not be loyal ministers.

After investigating the child's matter, she will start to help Yan Li "Qing Jun's side".

"Empress, the celebration banquet tonight will be held in Dacheng Palace, so you have to come early." Yan Li reminded Rong Chang'an.

"How much will this banquet cost?" Rong Changan asked.

Yan Li was puzzled and said, "What is the empress asking for? Usually it costs millions of taels of silver!"

Rong Changan was speechless when he heard this, and thought for a while: "Now that the country is newly established and the people are still poor, it is better to spend the money on the people than to use the money to hold banquets. Your majesty, my concubine begged to cancel tonight's banquet. To show that the country values frugality and not extravagance. From the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, as long as the palace is frugal, then the rich households and bureaucrats outside will follow, which can save a lot of money for the country. If you encounter Natural disasters and wars will enrich our treasury."

Rong Changan's words touched Yan Li's heart.

"I'm still afraid that the queen will say that the banquet is not grand enough! Since the queen said so, then I will cancel tonight's banquet according to your order, and use the saved money on the common people."

Rong Changan bowed his knees and praised: "The emperor is wise!"

Yan Li quickly reached out to support Rong Changan: "It is the empress who is virtuous! In the future, with the help of the empress, I will be able to govern the country well. He Qinghaiyan, living and working in peace and contentment, is just around the corner!"

From what Yan Li said, it seemed that he couldn't wait to see this day.

"As long as the emperor is a good minister, and a villain, then the country's well-being will surely be around the corner." Rong Chang'an suddenly changed the subject, "However, the concubine must first find out who is playing tricks in the chicken soup."

Rong Changan cast a questioning look at Yan Li, "Your Majesty, if I find the murderer and bring her to justice, will you agree?"

Embarrassment flashed across Yan Li's face, he naturally knew who Rong Changan was talking about.

"The revenge of killing a son is irreconcilable, how can I tolerate her? It must be dealt with according to the law."

Rong Chang'an smiled: "If the emperor was moved with kindness at that time, and that person pretended to be pitiful, the emperor might change his mind again and advise me not to kill her."

Yan Li coughed twice, mocking himself, and held Rong Chang'an's hand tightly: "Queen, I swear to God, I will never be soft-hearted again."

Rong Changan said meaningfully: "I hope so."

That night, Rong Changan refused all the ministers to congratulate him, closed the Fengming Palace, and only received Lin Hai, the deputy commander of the imperial guards.

"The person I asked you to check, have you found it?"

"Found it!" Lin Hai handed over a roster with a yellow cover.

Rong Changan took it in his hand and opened it.

It read: Zeng Cunzhong, a scholar of Longtuge, Du Keming, Minister of Shangshu, Zhang An, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites, Geng Di, a minister of the Ministry of Industry... A total of 18 officials' names and official positions were written on it.

Rong Changan put the roster on the table and expressed his appreciation to Lin Hai: "Okay, good job! Do you know what these people have in common?"

Lin Hai said modestly: "I also ask the queen to make it clear."

Rong Changan said: "These ministers used to be Li Hai's confidantes. After Li Hai's collapse, they surrendered to the emperor. These people have bad intentions and evil conduct. They can be called the moths of our Great Jing Kingdom. Moreover, they also followed Ziyan has a good relationship and keeps in touch, if they are not monitored and censored, it will definitely be detrimental to the country. I will also leave this matter to you, if they have any troubles, you have to tell me."

Lin Haidao: "Queen, don't worry, I will definitely send elite soldiers and strong generals to monitor them all the time, and prevent them from doing things that are harmful to the emperor, the queen, or even the country."

Lin Hai has been attached to Rong Changan since the time of Li Hai. He is very loyal to Rong Changan, and Rong Changan will not doubt his ability to handle affairs.

"Also, have you checked what I told you to check?"

Lin Haidao: "I've checked. The two maidservants who brought chicken soup to the queen that day were both serving in the imperial dining room. One was called Xiaoyuan and the other was called Xiaoqian. The queen wanted to see them, so I immediately sent troops to bring them here." .”

Rong Changan motioned not to bring troops to arrest them: "This is too much noise, why don't I go and interview them myself. As long as they are willing to confess, the murderer will have nowhere to escape."

"Shall we go now?" Lin Hai said.

"That's right, let's go now!" Rong Changan couldn't wait to catch Ziyan.

The door of Fengming Palace opened, and two imperial guards stood on both sides of the door holding orange lanterns. Rong Changan, accompanied by Lin Hai and Chuntao, came out of the palace.

What Rong Changan was most afraid of was that Ziyan had made preparations in advance and threatened the two maidservants with death so that they would not dare to tell the truth. What's even worse, is that Zi Yan has already killed them all!

So, she has to hurry up.
