Hey!How dare you take me as a substitute

Today's morning court was really lively, Heng Mingshi sat on the golden dragon chair, smiling at the civil and military officials who were arguing endlessly in the hall.

He is just a puppet and doesn't need to say much, so this mess can only fall on Queen Mother An who is behind the curtain on the left.

The two generals Feng Shou and Feng Qi won the Lingnan War and made great contributions. It stands to reason that they should be promoted to nobles and given generous rewards.

However, the Feng family has held military power for several generations, and the old general Feng even holds half a tiger talisman. If his two sons are promoted again, the power in the court will definitely tilt towards the Feng family.

It is not without reason that Yuan Su mentioned the great achievements at the banquet last night.

In addition, the power of the military officer will definitely threaten the influence of the civil servants in the court. How can these civil servants be willing to submit to the reckless people they have always despised?

Impeachment, all kinds of impeachments.

Participation, all kinds of references.

Chirping, chattering, you say something to me, and the room is full of quarrels.

Heng Mingshi secretly took out the fried peanuts that Eunuch Gao had prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, gently rubbed the red thin skin outside the peanuts with his fingertips, and put the white peanuts into his mouth. When he bit his teeth, his lips and teeth were fragrant. .

Eunuch Gao prepared a big bag of peanuts for him, just enough to hide in the sleeve of his dragon robe, enough for him to eat until noon.

In addition, the courtiers had already developed the habit of only listening to the voice behind the curtain and not watching the color of the ninth-rank dragon chair, so no one noticed that the stupid puppet emperor was eating peanuts and watching a play at the moment.

"Enough! The noise made Aijia a headache!" Queen Mother An finally spoke, her tone seemed to be angry.

The noisy hall fell silent in an instant.

This was the tranquility that the little emperor could not achieve no matter how much he roared.

Heng Mingshi swallowed what was in his mouth, picked up a cup of tea to clear his throat.

Empress Dowager An's voice came out slowly, unhurriedly: "General Feng Shou has made his first contribution this time, and will be rewarded with 5000 taels of gold, 3000 taels of silver, 3000 bolts of silk, and 1000 stone millet. Two golds, [-] taels of silver, five hundred bolts of silk, two hundred stones of millet... In addition, all those who have made military achievements will be rewarded according to their merits."

Feng Shou and Feng Qi knelt on one knee and saluted one after another: "Thank you, Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed and safe."

Empress Dowager An said slowly: "Let's get back on your feet. Ai's family heard that the two brave generals have gone through many dangers and escaped death. When they return to the imperial city this time, they should first cultivate for a while. The responsibility of Lingnan guards should be handed over to General Li first. "

Before Feng Shou could reply, Empress Dowager An said again: "General Li, the Ai family ordered you to wait three days before leaving for Lingnan, do you have any objections?"

General Li walked out from the last position of the generals, the smile on his face could hardly be restrained, and even his tone was a bit smug: "Thank you Queen Mother! The last general will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's promise!"

Heng Mingshi sat on the dragon chair and saw everything in the hall clearly.Empress Dowager An said that she would reward Fengshou and Fengqi, but in fact she only rewarded some innocuous gold and silver treasures, and didn't even mention the promotion of officials and titles.

And not only didn't mention it, but also used the name of "rest and recuperation" to directly remove the real power of the two generals and call the third son of the Li family to take over.

Lee's...

Heng Mingshi's thoughts were spinning. If he remembers correctly, this Li family seems to be the An family, that is, the cousin of the Empress Dowager An's mother's family. The Empress Dowager An has listened to the government behind the curtain and supported many mother's family members in order to consolidate her rule in the court. position in the church.

It's just that before, she just put her hands on the court, but she didn't expect that now, she was no longer satisfied with this, and directly extended her hands to the army.

And it was chosen when the Lingnan Army returned from a great victory.

Tsk tsk tsk, the birds are all hidden, and the rabbits are dead.That's the reason, but Queen Mother An must have acted too hastily, right?

Why is this?

What is it that made her so unbearable?

"Cough cough cough... Your Majesty..." Eunuch Gao reminded in a low voice.

Only then did Heng Mingshi come back to his senses, and he heard Empress Dowager An ask: "Is the emperor tired?"

Heng Mingshi's acting skills were up for a second, and he raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, as if he was really wiping his saliva again.

Anyway, the hall is so wide and the steps are so high, most of the veterans are presbyopic, so they certainly couldn't see whether there was any suspicious liquid coming out of the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, after Heng Mingshi made this action, many courtiers showed horrible expressions.

They had been arguing in the hall for so long, and the emperor actually fell asleep!

"Hmm... um?... Are you finished?" Heng Mingshi continued to speak with his big tongue, his pronunciation was vague, and he smacked his mouth very heavily: "Then back...back..."

"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager An didn't know what she was thinking today, but she didn't directly ask him to announce his resignation: "The Aijia heard that the Emperor admired General Feng at the banquet last night, why not let General Feng guard in front of the imperial court, how about it?"
