This time, the Cao family couldn't sit still.

He hurriedly entered the palace to inform the Queen Mother of the situation in Bianjing.

In fact, the Cao family noticed something was wrong when rumors first appeared in Bianjing, and went to the palace to remind the Queen Mother.

But the Queen Mother didn't listen.

To be precise, the Queen Mother couldn't listen.

She can't think at all now.

Whenever I think about it, I get a headache, and when I have a headache, I feel displeased with Shen and Mo Lan.

Especially Mo Lan.

For some reason, when the Queen Mother saw her smiling face, she had the urge to step forward and tear her apart.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother held back.

Otherwise, there is really no suspense about who was torn apart.

Mo Lan could beat five or six Sheng Hong without breathing, and naturally he could tear the mouths of seven or eight Queen Mothers to pieces.

The Queen Mother was forced to be unable to think about the current situation, which led to a complete collapse of her reputation.

When the Cao family entered the palace, the Queen Mother was angry because Mo Lan was "sick" and didn't come to attend.

She decided that Mo Lan was pretending to be sick.

The Cao family felt speechless. After indicating that they had something to say, the Queen Mother reluctantly let the queen leave.

Coming from the Cao family is Mrs. Zhao, the Queen Mother’s sister-in-law.

"Madam, please stop tormenting the Queen and Princess Huan."

Mrs. Zhao only felt a headache and didn't understand why the always shrewd Queen Mother seemed to be a different person.

Just do some stupid things.

"Nowadays, Bianjing is full of rumors about you. If you continue to mess with it, you will lose all your face."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "What rumors?"

Madam Zhao said everything, and the Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over, and the headache that had just stopped started again.

She yelled loudly: "Nonsense! What nonsense! Why am I pretending to be sick when I have a headache?! It's obviously those quack doctors who don't have good medical skills, so they say I'm pretending to be sick! I'm sick, so what's wrong with letting the Queen and Princess Huan come to take care of me?" !”

Mrs. Zhao was so exhausted that she just felt that she couldn't explain it to the Queen Mother.

"What about Concubine Liu? Why did you let her rest as a concubine, but let the Queen do this and that?"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "I will let whomever I like serve me!"

Madam Zhao sighed helplessly and begged: "Madam, I beg you as a concubine. Please stop tossing. If you continue to toss, none of the girls in the family will be able to marry. Don't you think about us? , you should also think about the girls! Rui'er is discussing marriage, and the person she was originally optimistic about fell into disgrace because of this matter. There is also Qing'er, she will be pregnant next year, but what should we do?"

Mrs. Zhao is resentful.

Her eldest granddaughter had just met a good family a while ago, but because of the Queen Mother's incident, the other party regretted it.

After all, the way the Queen Mother tortured her daughter-in-law was so disgusting that outsiders began to question the tutoring of the Cao family girl.

If everyone is as hypocritical as the Queen Mother and uses disgusting methods to torture people, who would want to marry such a person?

The Queen Mother's excitement gradually cooled down.

She was silent for a moment, holding back her headache and thinking for a long time, and then asked Mrs. Zhao a few words in a deep voice.

Only then did he realize that not only was Bianjing full of rumors about him, but even his own courtiers were also complaining.

Many even switched to the government, and only a few persisted.

These people are all in-laws of the Cao family. Even if they want to switch sides, it is impossible and they can only continue to support the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sat there slumped, with a splitting headache, but could not think of any solution.

But she knew that she could no longer torment the Queen and Princess Huan.

Otherwise, if the other party continues to trick her, it will be really difficult for the Cao girl to marry.

But...why did I contract this strange disease?

The Queen Mother was puzzled because she started to feel pain again after thinking about it.

But in the end she promised Mrs. Zhao not to bother the Queen and Princess Huan anymore.

Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, she had achieved her goal.

But the Queen Mother didn't bother anymore. After the official power was further expanded, they were satisfied and wanted to start rectifying the government immediately.

Zhao Ceying is also very supportive.

In fact, to be precise, Zhao Ceying was the main force who wanted to rectify the government's affairs, and the officials were the ones who were led by the nose.

I have to say that the official family really loves their son Zhao Ceying.

In fact, the official family has always been cautious. In Zhao Ceying's words, he didn't want to go out even if the raindrops in the sky were heavy.

With this kind of temperament, after becoming an official, he should be more cautious.

But Zhao Ceying has a jealous temper and is extremely decisive and independent-minded.

Therefore, for Zhao Ceying, the officials took the responsibility of reforming and rectifying the government affairs on themselves.

In fact, it is to protect Zhao Ceying from wind and rain.

Including this time the officials tried to inspect the salt affairs, it was Zhao Ceying who started it.

Mo Lan felt a headache when she saw Zhao Ceying beaming with joy after returning home and saying that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the salt tax.

She twisted Zhao Ceying hard, causing him to scream "ouch".

"Mother...mother, did I do something wrong?"

Zhao Ceying touched the place where he was pinched aggrievedly, his eyes were wet, like a big aggrieved dog.

All that's left is the cutting tail.

"What do you say?"

Mo Lan couldn't help but sigh: "You don't really think that the courtiers who have switched to the government now are really loyal, do you?"

"That's not true. They are all just losers. Whoever is stronger will be defeated."

Zhao Ceying touched his head and didn't quite understand why Mo Lan suddenly mentioned this.

"The eldest lady seems to be weak now, with very few connections and influence, but she has not completely fallen yet."

Mo Lan looked at Zhao Ceying steadily: "She has a splitting headache now, but don't forget that the people standing behind the eldest lady are the Cao family. As long as the Queen Mother does not completely fall down, the Cao family will not give up looking for a comeback. Opportunity."

"I know, but the government is in urgent need of rectification. We can't do nothing just because of scruples!"

Zhao Ceying is impatient and has been suppressing it for a long time.

"Who doesn't want you to rectify it? But you can't pick the big one from the beginning? You said it yourself, salt, wine, tea, and iron will be in charge of me. Among them, the salt tax ranks first, and you can do it as soon as you come up I don’t know how many officials’ interests are involved in rectifying the salt tax, how could they just sit back and wait for death?”

Mo Lan's voice was gentle, but her tone was very firm: "Nowadays, the official family seems to be powerful, but most of them are new neutrals and outsiders. They have not yet been completely conquered, which is a hidden danger. There is a lineage of the Queen Mother on the side. Waiting for an opportunity to act is tantamount to giving these losers room for choice. This is the second hidden danger. The interests involved in the salt tax are too great and the enemy's situation is unknown. This is the third hidden danger. If these three items are not resolved, how can the salt tax be imposed?

Husband, I know your determination to rectify the government, but the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. If you make too many enemies at once, you will be prone to bad things. It is better to start from a small place first, clean up some people, and win over some people. Use the power to consolidate the government. After the Queen Mother's party is completely destroyed, it will not be too late to touch the salt tax. One more year or a little less, so what? "
