Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xie Zhaozhao remained silent.

When she was a child, she lived in the palace on and off for several years, and often saw her aunt staring at one place in a daze.

She didn't know what her aunt was thinking, but she looked very sad.

Later, when she left the palace and returned to Xie's house, she gradually heard that every time her grandmother went to visit her aunt, she would feel guilty and be sick for several days after returning.

After that, my grandmother rarely went to the palace.

Seeing that she was silent, Empress Xie said sternly, "Lord Gu, do you know that breaking into the harem at night and causing chaos is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family?"

Gu Shaoyu raised a token calmly and said, "Your Majesty has granted me a token, allowing me to take my wife back home."

Gao Quan came over and looked at the token, and said in a sarcastic tone, "I don't know which life this token is from. It can't be used."

Gu Shaoyu said: "Eunuch Gao, please look carefully. This token was given by His Majesty himself."

Gao Quan said bluntly: "Your Majesty will not allow subjects to enter the harem. This is the rule! No matter how Lord Gu argues, it is a fact that he broke into the harem at night."

Empress Xie: "Capture him!"

The eunuch beside her who was skilled in martial arts rushed over.

Xie Zhaozhao said to Empress Xie: "Empress, please let me go home. My filial piety to you will never change."

Empress Xie said coldly: "If you are truly filial, you will not leave."

"But there is nothing I can do if I stay here!"

"You can accompany me through the long and lonely nights." Empress Xie said again, "Take down Gu Shaoyu."

Lu Feiyan was annoyed. She opened her bag and scattered handfuls of medicine powder around without paying. Anyone who was close to them fell down immediately.

The Queen was also mesmerized and swayed, mumbling: "Bold..."

Nanxing, Beichen, Dongyue and other secret guards fought with the enemy, and several eunuchs were knocked unconscious by knives.

Xiu Ning didn't say anything either. He walked to the side road with a lantern in his hand, came to an inconspicuous side hall for miscellaneous items, and let them in.

Leave through the secret passage.

Soon, everyone left the city.

Everyone disappeared into the darkness.

At the hour of Mao, all officials went to court.

Empress Xie had a gloomy expression on her face, and she continued to attend court sessions with His Majesty.

"Last night, a eunuch reported that Lord Gu broke into the palace at night and injured a eunuch. According to the law, he should be executed! Order the Imperial Guards to arrest Gu Shaoyu immediately!"

When Empress Xie said this, everyone in the court was shocked.

Xie Anfeng denied it, "Gu Gelao is far away in the frontier, how could he break into the palace at night? Could it be that he saw it wrong?"

"I am not blind yet!"

Queen Xie called Gao Quan and others and accused Gu Shaoyu of breaking into the harem at night and taking the old lady away.

However, most court officials denied it and thought it was unlikely.

Empress Xie called Xiu Ning up again and asked him to confess and personally release Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao from the palace.

Xiu Ning had been tortured in the Ministry of Punishment. He gritted his teeth and insisted that he did not see anything and did not release anyone.

Hua Zisheng cried and said, "Empress, I watched this child grow up with my own eyes. He has been honest since he was young. He will not lie. Maybe Eunuch Gao was wrong."

Empress Xie snorted coldly, "Are you saying that I am blind?"

"The servant dare not."

"Imperial Guards, listen up and arrest Gu Shaoyu immediately."

Xie Anfeng strongly opposed it and begged His Majesty to say a word and not hurt the minister's feelings.

Ling Xun also knelt down and begged for a detailed investigation. Lord Gu was well versed in the laws and it was impossible for him to return to the capital without permission, let alone break into the palace.

"Isn't it normal for the Lord's wife to return home? Why did the Lord break into the palace in the middle of the night?"

When Ling Xun asked this, everyone was surprised. Yes, why couldn't the wife of the Grand Chamberlain go back home openly?

His Majesty said dully: "We will know whether Jingchen has come back or not by searching."

The Royal Guards went to Qingpu Garden like wolves and tigers.

The whole yard was turned upside down and was very large, so the Imperial Guards searched until noon but still couldn't find anyone.

The main courtyard looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time.

The common people were very surprised: "Why search Qingpu Garden? Didn't Lord Gu go to lead the army to fight?"

The common people all felt that Emperor Hui was becoming more and more incompetent and tyrannical.

The princes are almost all being killed, Lord Liu and Lord Zhang have been imprisoned, and now Lord Gu is being arrested.

I heard that he and the queen were ruling the country from behind the curtain...

The Imperial Guards did not find Gu Shaoyu in Qingpu Garden, and went back to report. Empress Xie was very angry and ordered the Imperial City Administration to search the whole city for Gu Shaoyu.

Leng Luo remained unmoved.

Xie Anfeng said angrily: "Empress, the Imperial City Bureau only obeys Your Majesty, and the Empress has no right to dispatch the Imperial City Bureau."

Empress Xie handed Gao Quan an imperial edict and said, "Read it to everyone."

Gao Quan took the imperial edict and read it out - "The Empress attends court and listens to the imperial edict."

I am not feeling well and my mind is tired. Empress Xie is a gifted woman with wisdom and a saintly virtue. I will entrust her with the affairs of state and let her attend the court. From today on, I grant the title of "I" to the Empress. The Empress can be involved in military and national affairs. All ministers should do their best to assist the Empress and show respect to her as I do.

In other words, from now on, all important court affairs will be handed over to Queen Xie.

The Queen calls me!

Two emperors in one dynasty.

After the imperial edict was read, Xie Anfeng's face turned extremely dark.

The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Works, Lord Ma, and Grand Tutor Yu... after hesitating for a moment, all stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise and enlightened. Long live the Emperor."

Your Majesty is Emperor Hui, and my emperor probably refers to the Empress Dowager.

Xie Anfeng said angrily: "I object! This is against the rules!"

Lord Ma and others said, "Lord Xie, there is no need to be modest. Although your majesty is from the Xie family, why can't your majesty lead Daqian to prosperity? Besides, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. This is your majesty's will."

Xie Anfeng knelt down and pleaded again and again: "Your Majesty, I object. Your Majesty still has a prince, so there is no need for the Queen to obey your order."

Ling Xun also knelt down and said, "I object!"

As soon as he opposed it, a group of young officials who were familiar with him became excited and followed his lead, saying "I second the motion."

There are also many people who support this, the reason is:

“The competent ones take the place”

"The deposed crown prince has evil intentions and cannot inherit the throne."

"The Seventh Prince is too young to shoulder the heavy responsibility"

"The Queen is virtuous, talented and resourceful, and has benefited the whole world."

……

Xie Anfeng was worried, isolated and helpless, and unable to do anything.

Those who were in favor and those who were against were in chaos, just like a vegetable market in the imperial court.

After the court session, Empress Xie called Ling Xun to the imperial study and said, "Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Personnel, was imprisoned for his disobedience. The position of Minister of Personnel is vacant. Is Mr. Ling interested?"

Everyone wants to, okay!

However——"I am young and still need experience. Thank you, Queen, for your kindness!"

Empress? Empress Xie asked coldly, "Does Lord Ling look down on women?"

"No, I have never looked down on women."

"Then why do you oppose my attending the court?"

"It is not right for the Empress to be in the court and listen to the decrees. Your Majesty still has two princes and five grandchildren (four for Prince Qi and one for the Crown Prince)..."

"How dare you discuss the appointment of a crown prince?"

"I dare not!"

"Ling Xun, what if I tell you that it is Zhao Zhao's will that I attend the court and listen to the decrees?"

Ling Xun didn't raise his head and said seriously, "The old lady will not approve of the queen attending the court and listening to the decree."

"What if she said it herself?"

"She won't tell."

"Lord Ling, I was given a mandate from heaven to save Daqian from disaster. Even if I become the emperor, how many years can I stay in office?"

Empress Xie said calmly, "When the country is stable, I will pass the throne to Zhao Zhao. Her wisdom is a thousand times better than that of the deposed crown prince Zhou Jingrui.

So, do you still object?"

Ling Xun was silent for a long time.

Will Xie Zhaozhao really one day sit on the dragon throne and rule the world?

"If you support me, I will appoint you as the Minister of Personnel. In addition, I want to appoint a young elder for Zhao Zhao."

Empress Xie chuckled and said, "Go back and think about it carefully!"

Seeing him turn around and leave, Empress Xie said, "I heard that you had a lot of fun at Huiyue Villa? That villa is pretty good... Zhao Zhao is quite capable!"

Ling Xun felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head.

Huiyue Villa belongs to Xie Zhaozhao?

Ling Xun felt a pain in his heart. The bright moon was suddenly covered with dust!
