The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister

The emperor and the empress came back from the disaster area, and they also investigated a case of corrupt officials. It can be said that some families were happy and some were sad. Many people were involved with the local magistrate and Ya Nei, so they would naturally be worried, especially the relatives of the cabinet scholars.

It was already very late when Wu Zhao entered the palace, and Shui Rong left her to rest in his bedroom and did not let her run back.

Besides, Wu Zhao's body is getting more and more visible, so Shui Rong is naturally not at ease, and wants Wu Zhao to stay with him all the time, after all, they lived together in the palace before.

Wu Zhao didn't go to bed until very late. She was a lazy sleeper on weekdays, let alone she couldn't wake up now that she was pregnant.

Early in the morning, Wu Zhao was in a daze, when he heard soft rustling voices beside him, Shui Rong had already woken up, he had an early morning today, and he had to deal with the affairs of the Tuzhifu and Yamen soon, they The matter involved the cabinet scholars, as well as the former empress Feng's family. It involved a lot, and it was an important court discussion.

Shui Rong got up early, saw that Wu Zhao was still resting, and acted lightly. After getting dressed, he sat by the bed and gently pinched the tip of Wu Zhao's nose.

Wu Zhao didn't wake up, she was tired of hearing the rustling sound, and now someone pinched the tip of her nose, Wu Zhao was so angry that she said, "Crack!", and raised her hand to give Shui Rong a " Big mouth"……

When the maids saw it, they all took a breath of air, "Hey!" Fortunately, the empress fell asleep in the morning and had no hand strength at all, so the beating didn't hurt, but it was actually quite loud.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not angry at all, seeing Wu Zhao frowning, pouted slightly, with an impatient look on his face, he even laughed.

Zijuan and Xueyan bowed their heads and raised their heads, one looked at the floor and the other looked at the ceiling, wondering if the emperor is hopeless, forget it, there is no need to save it, this is very good.

Wu Zhao was still dreaming. Someone pinched the tip of her nose and kissed her cheek and lips twice. She was so annoyed that she couldn't do it anymore. Shui Rong lowered her head and kissed her earlobe again, saying in a hoarse voice, "Wu'er, get up, There will be a court meeting soon."

Wu Zhao was so annoyed that he opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again, and murmured, "Respectfully send the emperor to court..."

Shui Rong was amused by her insincere congratulations, stretched out his arms to hug him, and said, "It's not a congratulations to the emperor, but a congratulations to the emperor and... the empress."

As he spoke, he tapped the tip of Wu Zhao's nose. When Wu Zhao heard this, he squinted his eyes and opened a crack to forgive Shui Rong.

Shui Rong picked him up and said, "Hey, my queen, get up and go to court with me, okay?"

Wu Zhao glanced at Shui Rong suspiciously, and turned around in his heart. Shui Rong wanted to go to the court with him, fearing that he wanted to bring up the matter of the queen again.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao finally woke up a bit, so he tried to sit up and prepare to wash, but almost fell asleep again while washing.

Finally, everything was sorted out, and I was almost late for the court meeting.

The civil and military officials had already stood up, and saw that the emperor hadn't come out yet, they actually moved out a chair from the inner hall and put it beside the dragon chair, then lowered a gauze curtain to block off the chair.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor came out from the inner hall, holding a woman in his hand, sent the woman to a chair and sat down first, helped her tidy the gauze curtain, and then walked to the dragon chair and sat down.

When the officials saw it, they began to discuss, who else could this be?Isn't it Wu Zhao?After all, it can be seen from the body shape. Wu Zhao is pregnant now. Although it is a gauze curtain, it can't be separated from the body shape, so it can be seen naturally.

Shui Rong sat down, everyone knelt down and shouted long live, and then greeted Wu Zhao, but the voice of greeting Wu Zhao was much weaker.

Shui Rong made everyone calm down, and then the Grand Scholars of the Cabinet stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't have any titles yet, so you can't attend court meetings. Isn't this breaking the rules?"

As soon as his words came out, many people responded immediately, and the ones who responded the most were naturally members of the Feng family. The former empress was the backbone of the Feng family, her uncle was a first-rank cabinet scholar, and her uncle was the Great General of Shenwu Feng. Tang, it can be said that the whole court responded, especially now that the Jia family and the Wang family are all clean this time, and the Feng family is even more dominant at this moment.

The Grand Master of the Cabinet stood up to speak, and soon many people also stood up.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has no titles now, this..."

"This is against the rules!"

"Also ask the emperor to enlighten me!"

Shui Rong sneered, and apologized to the various ministers who stood up. I have to say that there are a lot of people in the Feng family, and half of the country belongs to their Feng family. .

Wu Zhao said with a smile at this moment: "That's right, Your Majesty, my concubine is just a girl, no wonder the adults look down on my concubine."

When Shui Rong heard what Wu Zhao said, he smiled coldly, stood up, glanced at the crowd, and said, "My lovers are not women, you are the pillars of my dynasty, and they are the ministers of the tripod, but When I went to visit the disaster area, where were you? Are you enjoying the blessings at home? Will you still be at home, counting the disaster relief money you greedy!?"

When he said this, everyone immediately quieted down the commotion, each of them held their breath, knowing that the emperor was angry.

Shui Rong said in a cold voice: "This time Madam accompanied me to the disaster area and prayed for the people. She has made the most contribution and should be an observer."

The cabinet scholar still wanted to speak, and said, "But, your majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, Shui Rong laughed and said, "It's just right, Elder Ge, I happen to have something to ask you."

The cabinet scholar hastily cupped his hands and said, "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Shui Rong didn't speak, just raised his hand, and soon Wei Ruolan walked in with Tuzhifu and Ya Nei under his arm, with a "plop", the two men knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Spare me! Spare me! Your Majesty!" Forgive me! Your majesty, please forgive me!"

For a moment, the hall looked at each other, not knowing what happened, but Shui Rong said indifferently: "The local magistrates and yamen in the disaster area, they corrupted the law and embezzled the relief food and money. The record of Yingying is here, would you love to take a look?"

As he spoke, he stared at the Grand Master of the Cabinet and said, "Mr. Ge, do you want to take a look?!"

Shui Rong just said, "Crack!!!" and threw the playbook down, hitting the official hat of the cabinet scholar, almost knocking off the official hat, and everyone let out a gasp , too scared to speak.

The cabinet scholar straightened his official hat, then reached out tremblingly to pick up the notebook, opened it and glanced at it, then immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! No, no, no... This is a frame! This is someone deliberately framed an old minister." Ah! Your Majesty!"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and Shui Rong made people read the confession of the Tuzhifu and Yameni on the spot. The Tuzhifu and Yameni were both members of the Feng family, relying on the power of the Feng family and their kindness to the emperor's ascension to the throne, so they did evil, took a lot of money, and had nothing to eat. It is the flesh and blood of the people.

After hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. They all looked at the cabinet scholar who knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Some of them didn't believe it, some were full of joy, and most of them were afraid.

In three years, the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty had [-] snowflakes in silver. This seems to be a law of officialdom. Honest officials have to be greedy for tens of thousands of taels, let alone corrupt officials. There is no such thing as an honest official these days. Instead, it is an honest official like Lin Ruhai. Looks like a fool to them.

Now that it's time to settle accounts, everyone's face is pale, and they can't control themselves in fright, wishing they could piss their pants in the hall on the spot, only then can they see clearly who is a fool at this moment.

The cabinet scholar tremblingly said: "The emperor... the emperor... this is a frame-up, the old minister is loyal, and my Feng family is even more loyal to the emperor. I will never... definitely not do such a thing, my lord, this is for sure. It's a false accusation, please the emperor investigate clearly!"

When he said this, many people around him also begged for mercy, please the emperor to see clearly.

Shui Rong smiled faintly, and said, "Okay! I knew you would argue, come here, bring Zheng Changming, and confront Elder Ge face to face!"

The cabinet scholar suddenly heard the word "Zheng Changming", and almost didn't remember it until Zheng Changming walked in from the outside in white clothes, the cabinet scholar made a thud and almost fell to the hall.

Back then, the affairs of the Zheng family, the Minister of the Taipusi, caused a lot of trouble. The Zheng family was also a famous family in the capital. Once their house was ransacked, their heads were beheaded, and they were exiled. In the end, nothing was left. The Zheng family's mansion is already desolate.

When the cabinet scholar saw Zheng Changming, his eyes widened in fright, and Shui Rong said, "Do you know him?"

The cabinet scholar said tremblingly: "No, no... I don't know."

Shui Rong said with a smile: "Oh? Is that so? It seems that the old man has forgotten things too much, so let Zheng Changming introduce himself to the old man?"

The cabinet scholar's face was full of sweat. He didn't expect that Zheng Changming was still alive. Zheng Changming was not only alive, but he also endured humiliation and collected a lot of things about the Feng family's corruption. He knew that it was his father who offended the cabinet scholar and was punished Over the years, he has never forgotten to vindicate his father, and the evidence in his hand is enough to bring down the cabinet scholar several times.

Zheng Changming respectfully presented his memorandum, and the cabinet scholar was so frightened that his whole body trembled, he said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't trust villains, Your Majesty..."

Shui Rong smiled faintly, pinched the memorial, and said: "Who is a villain and who is a loyal minister, you can tell at a glance, even if my eyes are blind and deceived by others, you have so many pairs of eyes. Is it impossible to be deceived by others?! See for yourself!"

As Shui Rong said, he threw down the memorial, and many people rushed to see it. After reading it, they were shocked. The terms of these evidence records were too clear. Zheng Changming was very thoughtful. Unable to speak.

There were many people begging for mercy from the Cabinet Grand Master before, but after seeing this, they all stood up silently, not daring to "cooperate with others", for fear of being "washed away" by an accident.

The Grand Master of the Cabinet knelt on the ground, watched the people next to him stand up one by one, suddenly slammed his body, and collapsed on the ground with a "gudong".

Shui Rong walked down from the stage step by step, and said in a cold voice: "You are the elder of my court. After all these years, you have worked hard without merit. I will not kill you, but you cannot escape the crime of living...Come here, take off the rest of your body." Dingdai, temporarily put him under house arrest and return to the mansion, no one can visit without my will!"

"Yes!"

Wei Ruolan hurriedly responded, and went up to take off the first-rank crown of the Cabinet Grand Scholars. The Cabinet Grand Scholars looked ashamed, and without making a sound, they were dragged down to the palace by Wei Ruolan's guards.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to speak, the emperor solved a first-rank official with a few words, if they talked again, wouldn't they be in a hurry to give the head away?

Shui Rong watched the Cabinet Masters being dragged out of the hall, and then restrained some of the anger on his face, walked back slowly, walked back to the steps, stretched out his hand to hold Wu Zhao's hand, and said, "There is still a little more here." This matter should be brought up for discussion by the ministers."

When he said that, can everyone know what happened?Just now, taking advantage of this opportunity, Shui Rong wants to establish Wu Zhao as queen again.

Sure enough, I heard Shui Rong say: "Madam contributed a lot to this disaster relief, and helped me catch a bunch of corrupt officials. It can be seen that Madam is virtuous and virtuous. I want to make Madam a queen. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone really didn't dare to speak at this time, and they all lowered their heads, neither speaking nor agreeing, as if they wanted to passively resist.

Wu Zhao smiled, but at this time he took the initiative to say: "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and it was that year, so why rush to become a queen?"

As soon as she said this, everyone was dumbfounded. They looked up at Wu Zhao on the stage. Wu Zhao was sitting on the chair, very calm, and continued: "I ask myself what is my virtue and what can I do, and I dare not trust you in front of all the adults. , Concubine Kuang is soft-spoken, how can she take on this important task?"

Wu Zhao thought of advance as retreat, and spoke very modestly. Shui Rong took Wu Zhao's hand and said, "Madam is modest. Madam is docile, virtuous and virtuous. This disaster relief, I will go with me at the risk of danger. Praying for the common people, the local people also love Madam very much, so that the widows feel ashamed, why is Madam still modest?"

At this time, Jia Yun stood up and presented a joint letter, saying: "Exactly, the empress is virtuous and virtuous, and she is virtuous and loves the people. Your Majesty, this is a petition from the local people."

Wu Zhao’s disaster relief this time really won the hearts of the people, especially the two distributions of money and food from corrupt officials. The local people regarded Wu Zhao as a living Bodhisattva. Some of them couldn’t write, so they pressed themselves on the book fingerprints.

Jia Yun opened it on the spot, and it was three meters long, signed and stamped. Everyone was shocked when they saw it.

If it is a voluntary petition from the people, then this empress is really amazing to be so loved.

If it weren't for the voluntary petition of the people, then this empress is still amazing, because she has such a skill to get this kind of things that conform to the wishes of the people.

All the ministers were a little flustered, but Wu Zhao smiled and declined twice, and finally said: "I don't know what you think in your mind? If you feel that the concubine's character is not enough, the concubine will never dare to take on this important task. "

When she said this, the foreheads of all civil and military officials were covered with cold sweat. On the one hand, it was because of the petitions of the people, which was popular support. On the other hand, it was because the emperor just killed a first-rank official, which was force.

With the support of the people and force, how can they disagree?

Immediately, someone knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty is gentle and gracious, deeply loved by the common people, she is the best candidate for empress, your majesty is wise, and my emperor will last forever!"

When he said this, many people also knelt down one after another, shouting: "Greetings to the emperor, and the empress!"
