The emperor is embarrassed

It is one thing for a man to have knowledge, but another to have means.

He has knowledge and means, but whether this kind of knowledge means is suitable for court politics is another matter.

Rao is the Queen Mother Wei who is well-informed and has extraordinary means, and she never expected that the cabinet and the clan would fight.

Duke Lu An and Marquis Ji An were okay to say, they were born in the imperial clan, had little education, and could be forgiven for being rude.On the other hand, Li Pingzhou and Xu San have always regarded themselves as a gentleman, full of righteousness, courtesy, righteousness and shame, pretending to be a saint.

In the end, he rolled up his sleeves and made a dirty trick, and he was not inferior to the clan at all.

Li Pingzhou ran fast without any injuries or bumps.But Xu San was injured by Ji Anhou's stomp on his foot, and he stood on one leg at a slant.Marquis Lu An's head was bleeding from the fall, Marquis Ji An was black-eyed.

The Empress Dowager Wei was already furious, when the guards came in, if they continued to beat her, her face would turn ugly.

Li Pingzhou, Xu San, Lu An, Gong Ji, and Anhou all knew the current affairs and stood still, pleading guilty on their knees.

How to deal with it, the Empress Dowager Wei had a hard time.

Lu An Gong Ji An Hou is fine, but Li Pingzhou Xu San is an important minister in the court, and it is a bit of a fuss to blame the minister just because of his disrespect in front of the queen mother.However, if it is not dealt with, what is the majesty of the Queen Mother?

Empress Dowager Wei said coldly, "One of you is the prime minister of the court, and the other is a prince of the clan, with power and power. The emperor can't manage the government now, and all the political affairs of the court are in the hands of the princes. You don't take me seriously , is also normal. This matter, no wonder you."

After speaking, Empress Dowager Wei got up and went back to the bedroom of Xuande Hall.

The Xuande Hall is the living room of the emperors of all dynasties. In fact, both Ming Zhan and Feng Jingqian like to work in the Xuande Hall.The sleeping hall is a structure with three bright and nine dark, and the study, bedroom and living room are all complete.

Ever since Ruan Hongfei took Ming Zhan out of the palace, Empress Dowager Wei moved in in order to deceive others, and only said to the outside world that she would take care of His Majesty's body nearby.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Zisu asked softly, "Ma'am, do you want to pass the meal?"

Queen Mother Wei nodded.

It wasn't until the Empress Dowager Wei finished her lunch that she finally figured out how to resolve the dispute between the cabinet and the clan.

Since several people confessed their crime obediently, the Empress Dowager Wei ordered each of them to write a letter of apology and submit it, then raised the matter high and put it down gently, it was considered a solution.

Li Pingzhou personally sent Xu San home.

Li Pingzhou was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Xu San was successfully promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet after Zheng Linzhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials stepped down, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was replaced again. According to the current situation, if Li Pingzhou stepped down, in terms of seniority, Xu San must be the superior.

Originally, the relationship between Li Pingzhou and Xu San was not very good.However, since Xu San helped Li Pingzhou break the arrogance of the clan this time with sharp eyesight, quick hands and firm stand, Li Pingzhou's view of Xu San changed greatly.

Seeing the imperial physician setting Xu San's bone, Li Pingzhou asked Xu San's bone injury more seriously.

In fact, Marquis Ji'an was not a military commander, even if he was furious in his heart, he wished he could trample Xu San to death, but Marquis Ji'an's own strength is limited, Xu San just hurt his muscles and bones, and now the imperial physician prescribed prescriptions and bone-setting ointment, He also gave him a bone-setting massage.With a guaranteed ticket, you will be safe within ten days.

Li Pingzhou returned to the mansion.

Duke Lu An and Marquis Ji An cursed and went back to Duke Lu An's mansion. Although each had their own injuries, Empress Dowager Wei only made them kneel in the side hall for a while, and the rest only ordered them to write a letter of apology and did not punish them severely.

The Marquis of Ji An waited on the little girl to apply the medicine to his right eye, and said, "On weekdays, I see the Empress Dowager is very powerful, and Uncle Shen Wang gave her three points, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, her reputation is in vain. Brother You don't have to worry about praying for the new year, I think there will be nothing wrong." After all, the clan mansion is the clan's territory, and the cabinet has nothing to say.And the Empress Dowager Wei is only a woman, it is hard to say whether the emperor is dead or alive, what is she a woman in the clan's mansion?

Duke Lu An was old, so he spoke politely, and said, "As long as the Empress Dowager is fair, aren't you and I all thinking of the court?"

"They are all descendants of Emperor Taizu. We are not the people in the cabinet. What kind of plan is in our hearts to usurp the throne? When will we still have to tell the empress dowager..."

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

The story of the cabinet clan's scuffle between the queen mother and the former son quickly spread throughout the upper class of the imperial capital, and the old Marquis Yongning listened to the rumors, talking about everything.

Old Yongninghou couldn't sit still at home, so he put on his court clothes and went to the palace to pay his respects.

Empress Dowager Wei sat down and offered tea, "How is father?"

The old Yongning Hou held the tea bowl, how could he still have the heart to drink tea, nodded and said, "The old minister has always been tough, the empress just needs to rest assured. But the empress, these days have been busy with government affairs, and she has to take care of your majesty's dragon body, the old minister is afraid to look at it." Look, the empress seems to have lost a lot of weight." Old Yongninghou really cared about the Queen Mother Wei, but even if he was his own father, it was difficult for him to ask the Queen Mother what was going on and if there was anything her family could do to help. .

Fortunately, the old Marquis of Yongning was always calm, so he just mentioned a word in a cryptic manner.

With Empress Dowager Wei's intelligence, she naturally understood what the old Marquis Yongning meant. Empress Dowager Wei smiled, "It's because of the solar terms. I always lose weight in summer."

"That's good." The old Yongninghou was a little relieved, the most hard-core backstage of the Queen Mother Wei was nothing more than Yongninghou's mansion.Now because of this matter, rumors are spreading everywhere, but Queen Mother Wei is still calm. Based on his influence on her daughter, she thinks that Queen Mother Wei either has a well-thought-out plan, or she must have a future move.

The old Marquis Yongning said with concern, "As long as the empress is in good health, the people in the world will be blessed." The body is the capital of the revolution, like the old Marquis Yongning, because of his good health, he has killed many competitors.People like Ming Zhan, who are usually very wise, would not have let the Queen Mother Wei suffer such difficulties if they hadn't been in poor health.

Empress Dowager Wei took a sip of tea and asked, "Father must have heard about Lu Angong's grandson Feng Qinian, right?"

If someone asks, old Yongninghou will definitely pretend to be confused.The Empress Dowager Wei specifically asked, and the old Yongning Hou said, "Yes, the old minister occasionally heard a half of the ear in the mansion. But, these words, if they are not interrogated by the clan mansion, they can't be taken seriously."

"Well, just because of this, the cabinet and the clan are fighting each other. It's really uncoordinated." The Empress Dowager Wei looked at the old Yongninghou, "I'm thinking, if someone really cursed the emperor secretly, the plan must be in a big way. ah."

curse!

Hearing this word, the old Yongninghou's mind seemed to be blown away by something, and a cold light flashed through his raised eyelids.The Empress Dowager Wei said, "Because the matter is related to the country, the cabinet has repeatedly turned up and down, and Feng Qinian must be interrogated by the three divisions. But the clan insists on the ancestral rules and ancestral training, so it must be audited by the clan mansion. Both sides are concerned about this. There are constant disputes, I thought, it is reasonable for the clan government to try the clan clan, but what the cabinet said is also reasonable. I can no longer rest assured that it is about the emperor, and I have lost my mind for a while."

"The cabinet wants to go to the clan mansion to listen in, but if the cabinet is involved in the case of the clan mansion, start this lightly, I'm afraid there will be one or two in the future, and there will be doubts about this if the clan is not in order?" Queen Mother Wei looked at old Yongning Hou, the clan mansion has always been the domain of the clan, allowing the cabinet to infiltrate the clan mansion, regardless of whether the case is serious or not, the clan will definitely form a group to oppose it for its own benefit.If this unites the ambitious and independent clans, wouldn't it be a waste of money to steal the chicken?

"Your Majesty's concern is precisely this reason." What the Empress Dowager Wei said was exactly what the old Marquis Yongning thought.

Under the banner of loyalty to the country and the emperor, if the cabinet extends its tentacles to the clan's mansion, is there anything that the court can't control?I'm afraid that in the next step, the cabinet will take charge of the Shou'an Palace?

The old Marquis Yongning suggested, "Your Majesty, since this case is so important, why don't you choose a few respected clan elders to sit aside to ensure the fairness of the interrogation."

Empress Dowager Wei had a warm voice, her gaze turned warm, "I think so too, but I've been in the imperial capital for a short period of time, and most of the clan is out of town, so I'm not very familiar with it."

The old Marquis Yongning didn't believe that the Empress Dowager Wei had any familiar or unfamiliar clans, but now that the cabinet is thinking of expanding the territory, is it possible that all the clans are good?In particular, there was something about Feng Qinian in Lu'an's mansion.Old Yongninghou was a virtuous old fox, so he would not rashly think that the Empress Dowager Wei wanted him to recommend a reliable clan.

The old Marquis Yongning didn't understand what the Empress Dowager meant for a while, so she heard the Empress Dowager Wei say indifferently, "Others don't know, and there are few people who come and go, but there are a few girls who are always considerate."

Princess?

The old Yongninghou couldn't believe it, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, let the princess go to listen?"

Empress Dowager Wei said, "It's not that they are asking them to try the case, but to listen to the right and wrong. Ming Yan grew up with Ming Zhan and has always cared about Ming Zhan. Ming Zhan is sick, but Ming Yan often comes to the palace to help me take care of it. Palace affairs, filial piety to the Empress Dowager, otherwise, whether I can handle these things is another matter."

The old Marquis Yongning's plan for the Queen Mother Wei was a bit difficult to turn around for a while.The eldest princess of Xiangyi in the court has not recovered from a stroke, but there are still three eldest princesses of noble birth, and it is the eldest princess' turn next.Now bypassing the Eldest Princess and directly ordering the Eldest Princess to attend the trial of the clan mansion, I am afraid that it will be quite difficult.

However, if there is no difficulty, I am afraid that Queen Mother Wei will not speak to him.

The old Marquis Yongning didn't ask any more questions, and replied in a deep voice, "My lady's order, I understand."

Although this matter is difficult, it is still within the acceptable range of the cabinet and clan.

The princess also belongs to the clan, not to mention that the royal family has always been kind to the princess.Although the eldest princess Jingmin and others are the elder princesses, they have a little friendship with the Queen Mother Wei. At the critical point of Ming Zhan's illness, the eldest princess is not particularly willing to meddle in the government affairs, so as not to make mistakes The team, when they get burned, they still don't know it.

Therefore, the task fell on the shoulders of the eldest princess family headed by Mingyan.Now that Princess Shuyuan, who is older than Mingyan, is in confinement at home, she is waking up, so Mingyan has to take the lead in this matter.

The matter of Mingyan attending the trial of the Clan Mansion had just been decided, and when Li Pingzhou and others were paying attention to Feng Qinian's case, the first thing they waited for was a savage counterattack from the Empress Dowager Wei!
