Chapter 025 - The Queen Mother

(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)Chapter 025-The Queen Mother's Sister

Wang smiled and said, "Those who said that these children are very unlucky. They are all Xiaoliu's friends. They were having drinks together the day before, but they were broken their legs the next day. Alas..." Xiaoliu is Li Chongshan's grandson and the son of Li Tuiguan's eldest brother. He ranks sixth among the third generation of the Li family and is also Li Chongshan's favorite child.

"How could someone get hurt your leg?" Although he didn't care, seeing Wang talking lively, Concubine Wang asked.

"I don't know this, but I heard from Xiaoliu that they had hurt people when they were having a drink together the day before. I think it was the one who took revenge." Wang pretended to be careless.

"Xiao Liu is going to cause trouble again?" Concubine Wang frowned.

"It's not considered a troublesome..." Seeing that Concubine Wang was unhappy, Wang hurriedly defended, "If you want to say Xiaoliu is also sincere to you, the Queen Mother..."

Concubine Wang frowned and was silent for a while before asking: "What happened?"

Wang smiled and said, "It's not the restaurant owner. He relies on his role as the noble princess and uncle, and he is rampant. Xiao Liu and the others don't like it, so they scolded him a lesson. Unexpectedly, the noble prince was also cruel to do things. Those children were broken their legs the next day. At that time, I was so scared that Xiao Liu would be affected. Who knew that the noble prince was also tactful, but he didn't touch Xiao Liu..." Wang was proud of Xiangyang. She had been cured by Wu Zhi in Daming Mansion, and hated Wu Zhi to death.

Concubine Wang glanced at Wang a few times and asked lightly: "Uncle Princess?"

Wang nodded: "He is the uncle of the noble prince, the one who was conferred the founding uncle of Qingyang by the previous emperor. He seemed to be called Boss Pan. He knew that he was causing trouble all day long, and the noble prince didn't care about it..."

Concubine Wang waved her hand: "Enough. She knew that the other party was a registered earl, but she dared to beat her for no reason. Xiao Liudi was brave, and the Li family's courage was getting bigger and bigger..."

Wang was shocked and looked up secretly. Concubine Wang had no expression on her face and could not see any joy or anger.

"Summon Li Chongshan to meet Ai's family..." Concubine Wang waved her hand, and the palace maids on both sides walked up and put down the soft curtains on Concubine Wang's seat. Wang was shocked. According to Concubine Dian, this move was naturally a matter of course. However, Concubine Wang was very kind to the Li family in the past, and she had never lowered the curtains in the Li family. Today's move was the first to be invincible. Wang was frightened, but he did not dare to bother him. He bowed and left.

Soon, Li Chongshan arrived in a hurry. In his sixties, his hair and beard were white, his face was flushed, and he looked stronger.

"My minister Li Chongshan met the Empress Dowager!" He performed the tribute of bowing and bowing in a regular manner.

"Give a seat in a flat body." Following the instructions of Concubine Wang, the palace maid brought the soft pier. Li Chongshan sat down carefully, but only half of his butt was slightly touched, so it was better to stand comfortably. Li Chongshan had no time to think about this. He heard from his daughter-in-law that the empress dowager was unhappy, and he rushed over without asking for details in a hurry. Li Chongshan was really uneasy.

"Uncle, I heard that the Li family is prosperous and the family business is rising, and the Ai family is very pleased..."

"This is also a blessing for the Empress Dowager!" Li Chongshan quickly was humble.

"The Ai family dare not be..." Concubine Wang wanted to say a few heavy words to blame him, but when she saw Li Chongshan's pale hair and beard, she remembered the favor of the Li family in the past, swallowed it back to her mouth, and sighed, "Uncle, you have to teach your children well, you must know that they are in decline, but the Ai family does not want to call her uncle Li Qing and uncle next time she visits her relatives, do you understand the meaning of the Ai family?"

Li Chongshan's forehead was sweating, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground: "The Queen Mother's Saint Metaphor, I will remember it in my heart!"

Concubine Wang sighed, and was really not in the mood to stay any longer. She waved her hand: "Go back to the palace!" The eunuchs and palace maids called in unison. Li Chongshan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move. He saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids sticking incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, and whisks to the golden embroidered phoenix sedan in front of the pavilion. There was another eunuch leading the way to lead Concubine Wang into the sedan chair. It was like a Tathagata, and the eunuchs in red were on the horse and leading the way. After the sedan chair left the Li mansion, they immediately followed the guards in brocaded clothes and golden armor. The group rushed to the gate of the West Street.

Li Chongshan knelt in front of the mansion, and only slowly got up until the Queen Mother Luan disappeared. He was frightened. When he returned to the garden, he ordered someone to come to Wang and find out what he said made the Queen Mother angry. After Wang stammered and said Xiaoliu, Li Chongshan almost died of anger. Although Li Chongshan didn't like Wu Zhi very much, he blatantly went against the noble king and even injured the uncle of the noble king's mansion and the founding uncle of Qingyang. Isn't this a waste of time? No wonder the Queen Mother would say words that were overwhelming and declined.

Li Chongshan was furious and ordered someone to call Xiaoliu. Under the guidance of family law, he pulled Xiaoliu so hard that he cried and called his mother. Finally, Li Chongshan even pulled Xiaoliu to the palace to apologize, but he was turned away at the palace. The guards of the palace in front of the palace said that the emperor was not in good health and would not see any foreign guests.

Li Chongshan had no choice but to return in disappointment, but it was no wonder that the most powerful prince was bullied by a foreign relative. Can he be in a good mood? Especially when he heard that the playboys had been taught a lesson, he let Xiao Liu go. The noble king gave enough face to the Li family, and it was reasonable that he did not want to see him.

The noble king stayed in the door while sick, and had not been to court for more than ten days. The ministers in the court went to visit him and sighed with some details. The brothers of the old emperor, the emperor's uncle, were famous overseas, and the princess who were depressed by a relative of the foreign country. It made people sigh that Wu Zhi was extremely successful in the image of a weak man this time, and many ministers who were vaguely uneasy about his strong position also changed their attitude. For the first time, he felt that the noble king was not so powerful, and he was also defeated.

Wu Zhi in the palace was happy and free, playing with a few girls to enjoy the flowers, and occasionally pretending to be sick to meet the ministers, which was extremely relaxed.

During this period, the court suddenly started to stir up trouble. The Censor Zhang Chang submitted a letter to impeach Cai Jing for covering up his nephew and doing something wrong. It was difficult to be an example for all officials, and a stone caused a thousand waves. It is well known that Zhang Chang and Cai Jing have a close relationship. It is impossible for Zhang Chang to tell Cai Jing about the mistakes in Wende Hall. Concubine Wang sent Zhang Chang's documents to Dali Temple and asked Dali Temple to investigate Cai Jiu in detail. After a few days of trouble, it was all in the matter of no evidence. Concubine Wang scolded Zhang Chang a few words, but the matter was left unresolved. The sensational "Cai Jiu case" became the focus of the court officials' discussion, and the one that was particularly unpredictable was Zhang Chang. I don't know why he wanted to impeach Cai Jing.

In the study in the palace of the noble prince, Wu Zhi and Wu Yong were laughing proudly. Although Wu Yong was laughing, he laughed in a low voice. Wu Zhi laughed happily, "Mr.'s plan is indeed brilliant..." Wu Zhi added the word "sin't really evil" in his heart.

A few days ago, several thugs tied up Feng'er and were even stripped naked to the drunk Cai Jiu's bed. Cai Jiu woke up and saw the beauty around him, of course he would not be polite. When the two of them were Hu Tian and Hu, Zhang Chang arrived. Seeing this, he was heartbroken and started fighting with Cai Jiu on the spot. He rushed to Cai Jing's mansion. But at that time, the noble king was visiting Cai Jing, and Cai Jing couldn't get rid of it. He didn't know what Zhang Chang was doing, so he had to stop seeing him in order to avoid suspicion. Zhang Chang was angry and broke up with Cai Jing. Cai Jiu tasted Feng'er and was even more reluctant to let him go. Feng'er was in the green

In spring, Zhang Chang could not feed her, and Cai Jiusan sprinkled her money, which was much more generous than Zhang Chang's efforts. He only followed Cai Jiu. As a result, Zhang Chang and Cai Jiu had a deep hatred. When Cai Jing knew about it, it was too late. Even if Feng'er was sent back, it would be useless. When Cai Jing was turned away, he was turned away. Cai Jing was angry and stopped him. He thought he would explain the misunderstanding in a few days, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chang was encouraged by Zhang Jing and impeached Cai Jing in Wende Hall, which made Cai Jing so angry that he became like thunder. From then on, Cai Jing and Zhang Chang were as powerful as water and fire.

"The prince, but Xiaosheng didn't know why he spent a lot of effort to make Zhang Chang and Cai Jing turn against him. Zhang Chang was just the censor, but he couldn't hurt Cai Jing's fur. The prince took great effort but did not hide it. Cai Jing must know that the prince was doing the land. The prince really couldn't guess the intention of the prince." Wu Yong asked Wu Zhi carefully.

Wu Zhi smiled: "You can't guess?"

Wu Yong shook his head repeatedly.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "There is nothing else, it just makes him depressed."

"Ah?" Wu Yong was stunned and spent a lot of energy just to make Cai Jing feel a little sulky?

Wu Zhi smiled. Cai Jing was different from Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu thought he was smart, but he was actually a little smart. It was not difficult to make some tricks. Cai Jing was a powerful minister in the true sense. He acted steadily and was really difficult to catch any handle. Especially now in the temple, he followed the steps of Concubine Wang and had already let go of the new policy. He had to comfort the former Yuanyou Party. He had no idea how to start with him. He could only take one step at a time, but he could not make Cai Jing feel good. Since he had taken action to provoke his relationship with the Li family, he would naturally make him very depressed. Moreover, the future of things today will last ten or half a month. I wonder if he could make him crazy and mess up his way? If he could reveal a big flaw and smash his mace hard in Zihuan Palace, it would be too comfortable.

This is called if I don’t hit you, I’m so tired of you, right?

Wu Zhi thought happily, Wu Yong saw the noble king smiling, but there was a hint of sinisterness in his smile, and he felt cold in his heart, knowing that the noble king was thinking about something that harmed people again.

The door knocked gently, and Wu Yong hurriedly opened the door. There was a palace maid outside the door. When Wu Zhi saw it was Xing'er, he waved his hand and signaled her to come in. Xing'er kowtowed and bowed: "The prince is a thousand years old, the empress dowager is here!"

Wu Zhi was stunned: "Empress Dowager? What are she here to do?" He stood up as he spoke.

Xing'er said: "The Queen Mother now talks to several princesses in the back garden, saying that the prince will be cured if he is at ease and does not let me disturb the prince. But I thought about it, how can I not tell the prince such a big thing?

Wu Zhi smiled, turned around and sat down, and said, "You are doing well, go down!" I think Concubine Wang came to visit with light clothes. Otherwise, even if the guards and eunuchs were not allowed to disturb her, she would have heard the movement, but she didn't know what she was doing?

Xing'er praised Wu Zhi and gave a happy salute. Wu Zhi thought for a while, shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, if you don't go, don't you go. Could that woman dare to come to bully people?"

Wu Yong's scalp was numb when he heard this, and he called the Queen Mother "Woman"? The courage of the prince is really extraordinary...

In the back garden pavilion, except for the few palace maids serving the Earth Prince's Mansion, there are only Concubine Wang and Wu Zhi. There are three stone tables in the pavilion, and each stone table is four or five stone benches. The stone tables and benches are all pure white, as if carved in white jade, exquisite and translucent, and very exquisite.

Concubine Wang sat at the southernmost stone table, next to it, Jinlian and Jinzhi, and next to another stone table slightly north, sitting Qiqiao, Xuanjing and Zhu'er. Concubine Wang was smiling and talking to Jinlian and Jinzhi, looking very happy.

"Jinlian. Don't worry about the Li family. I have scolded them. Our royal family doesn't have the same knowledge as them!" Concubine Wang held Jinlian's hand and said with a smile.

"Jinlian knows it. Thank you for your care!" Jinlian smiled gently, intimate but polite.

"I told you to call me sister. If you really don't want to call me sister-in-law, I'll be able to call me sister-in-law. Queen Mother, my ears are almost calloused!" Concubine Wang said a little angrily.

Jinlian smiled and said, "Then Jinlian call you the princess!"

Concubine Wang immediately smiled happily, "That's right." Looking at Jin Zhi, Jin Zhi smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law." Concubine Wang responded happily, thought for a while, and took off the green jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Jin Zhi's hand. "There's nothing good, let's give it to you!" As for Jin Lian, Concubine Wang had prepared a few exquisite jewelry, and when she met, she gave Jin Lian.

Jin Zhi couldn't refuse, so he could only thank Concubine Wang.

At this time, Concubine Wang looked at Qiqiao. Qiqiao pouted and looked directly at the scenery outside the pavilion. It seemed that she was still resentful of Concubine Wang's scolding.

"Qiqiao, come..." Concubine Wang waved to Qiqiao, who didn't want to pay attention to her. Xuan Jing pulled her clothes hard, and repeatedly winked. Qiqiao stood up helplessly and walked over listlessly.

"Qiqiao, are you still dissatisfied with the emperor's sister-in-law?" Concubine Wang said with a smile on her face.

"No..." Qi Qiao said reluctantly.

Concubine Wang smiled. He took Qiqiao's hand and pulled Qiqiao's awkward face in front of him. He twisted Qiqiao's face with his hands: "I'm so handsome. No wonder your prince loves you the most. I have had a big fight with the prince for you several times..."

Qi Qiao was pinched by Concubine Wang and felt a little painful. She impatiently knocked off Concubine Wang's hand. Fang wanted to complain a few times, but suddenly heard Concubine Wang's words and his eyes lit up: "Does my husband love me the most?"

Concubine Wang smiled and said, "That's natural. Otherwise, how could she quarrel with the emperor's sister-in-law for you?"

Qiqiao said happily: "Really? Then sister tell me..." As he said that, he sat next to Concubine Wang. The call of "sister" made Concubine Wang feel excited. He smiled and hugged Qiqiao, saying: "You can avoid talking. Do you like to hear your prince and sister quarrel?"

Qi Qiao laughed and said, "So what's wrong? I used to quarrel with my husband... I just made a fuss when I quarrel..."

Concubine Wang's face turned red. How could this Qichao be more polite than the noble king? It's true that he has a husband and a woman... Jinlian and the girls smiled bitterly, but seeing that Concubine Wang was not angry and arrogant, she could only let her go.

"Sister, tell me quickly, why does my husband love me?" Qi Qiao held Concubine Wang's hand and refused to give in.

Concubine Wang was helpless by Qi Qiao, so she had to say a few words about how Wu Zhi praised Qi Qiao. Qi Qiao nodded happily. Concubine Wang saw her wearing a tender yellow dress, pretty and cute, smiling beside her, and she couldn't help but praise her: "It turns out to be a little beauty, alas... I really feel that she is old when I look at your sister..."

Qi Qiao smiled and said, "Where is sister old? Sister is a great beauty!" As she said that, she suddenly hugged Concubine Wang's neck, kissed Concubine Wang's face, and said, "Sister Qi Qiao wants to take a bite!"

All the girls were stunned, and Concubine Wang stayed in the local area, touching her face and couldn't speak. Jinlian hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, Qiqiao..."

Concubine Wang waved her hand, looked at Qiqiao's helpless smile, and sighed: "This child... is so naughty..."

Qi Qiao stuck out her tongue, knowing that she had been rude again, she quietly moved behind Jinlian. Concubine Wang had been in a daze for a long time before she came back to her senses. She started to laugh with the girls. After saying a few words, Jinlian suddenly said, "Imperial Sister-in-law, Jinlian is just in trouble. If it weren't for the Emperor's wife coming today, Jinlian would still want to go to the palace to talk to the Emperor's wife..."

Concubine Wang smiled and said, "What's the matter? Can't your prince do it?"

Jinlian said: "It's about General Hu..." His voice gradually lowered, and from time to time, the laughter of many women came from the pavilion.

Since then, Qi Qiao has become a celebrity in front of Concubine Wang. The sister called Concubine Wang so sweet. In addition, Qi Qiao was innocent and did not make a sautum. Concubine Wang was so happy that she called Qi Qiao into the palace every few days. When there was no one, the two got along like a sister, and were very intimate. Qi Qiao was favored by Concubine Wang, and from then on she was even more lawless. Sometimes she broke the leak but stopped looking for Wu Zhi, but went directly to find her "Empress Dowager Sister" to deal with it. Therefore, how many disasters Qi Qiao caused in the future? Even Wu Zhi didn't know very well...

On the second day after the Concubine Wang passed by, Wu Zhi recovered from illness. He went to the morning court for the first time, and on this day, several personnel appointments that had a significant impact on the future of the empire were settled.

First, the Qinfeng Road Strategic Envoy Zhong Shidao moved to the front of the hall, and Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Longshenwei Commander of the Sima Army in front of the hall, was moved to the Qinfeng Road Strategic Envoy.

Secondly, the matter of the unresolved general's dispatch in the Privy Council was settled by the Empress Dowager Zhu's criticism.

The champion general Hu Sanmei made many military achievements during the Northern Expedition and was promoted to the deputy chief of the Palace Front Office.

The chief of the Palace Front Office was in charge of hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the capital. The commander of the palace was very important, which is commonly known as the commander of the Di Palace. In the past, the position of Gao Qiu was changed to Zhong Shidao. Hu Sanmei was young, but became the deputy commander of the imperial guards in the capital. However, the conservative forces in the capital were unwilling to be entrusted with the important task of the capital by a woman. However, the empress dowager insisted and had a backer of the noble king. In addition, Hu Sanmei made many extraordinary achievements in the Northern Expedition, and even the contribution of the fifth prince of the Liao Kingdom was killed by unknown small school in the chaos army, and the contribution of Hu Sanmei was also counted on Hu Sanmei.

What's more, the chief rank of the Palace Front Office is a literati, and the deputy position is a military general. The commander of the Palace Front Office can be listed in the court, but the deputy commander of the Palace Front Office is not allowed to attend the temple. Although the ranks are not much different, the status of civil and military generals is very different. Although the conservative ministers are unwilling to give in, no one is willing to make a fuss with the Empress Dowager and the noble king for the position of the Palace Front Office. After a few quarrels in the temple, he let it go.

As for Liu Yanqing, who was entrusted with the important task of the northwest, he was a talented person who was keen on Shidao and promoted him with one hand. He was a general in another world, and was brave and brave. He fought against the west, made military achievements, and accumulated officials to the Xiangzhou Observatory and the commander of the Longshen Guard. He was an excellent general.

In addition to the appointments of Zhong Shidao, Hu Sanmei and Liu Yanqing, there were the Bolie Army in the northwest grassland, Tong Guan, the commander of the army, and Dading Prefecture and Liaoyang Prefecture to accompany the capital. In other words, it was no longer called Beijing. It was set up in the northeast Liaoning Road, Jilin South Road, Zongze was the governor of Liaoning and Jilin South Road, and was appointed Shaobao and the commander of Liaoyang Prefecture. Shaobao was appointed as the first rank, and Zongze was officially listed as the first rank of the imperial officials since then.

This was the first large-scale personnel change since the empress dowager listened to the government. It was exactly the same as Wu Zhi's thoughts. Wu Zhi stood in front of the dragon stairs of Wende Hall, listening to one appointment after another, and sighed in his heart, as if he was more capable than when the emperor was on the ground?

Cai Jing remained silent, but glanced at Zhang Chang who had been glaring at him at the corner of his eyes, sighed in his heart, rubbed his temples, and the old problem of headaches recently began to develop again.

"If nothing happens, let's disperse!" Seeing that it was about noon, Concubine Wang was about to retreat.

"I have the foundation!" Zhang Chang stood up.

Concubine Wang frowned and nodded slightly. The eunuch of the emcee hurriedly went down to take the chapter from Zhang Chang.

"I impeached Cai Jing, the left servant and subordinate minister, to serve as the Minister of the School of Education in Kaifeng Prefecture. He was afraid of powerful ministers and flattered him. He once directly accused the new law of harming the country and the people, and had colluded with the Yuanyou Party members!" Zhang Chang said this loudly while glaring at Cai Jing.

Wu Zhi almost didn't laugh out loud. Zhang Chang was really crazy. The old account from thirty years ago was also revealed.

More than 30 years ago, when Cai Jing first entered the official career, he was the vanguard of Wang Anshi's reform when he learned about Kaifeng Prefecture. Who knew that Sima Guang was the prime minister and ordered the abolition of the new law implemented by Wang Anshi. Cai Jing changed his recruitment to servants in all counties under Kaifeng Prefecture within five days in accordance with the restriction order. He was praised by Sima Guang and became a representative figure who opposed the reform. A few years later, Zhezong took office and Cai Jing became the Minister of Revenue, and helped Zhezong re-enforce the new law. When he was granted Huizong, Cai Jing even listed all the ministers who opposed the reform as Yuanyou Party and called the treacherous party.

Most court officials knew his two-faced and three-sword practice, but for the first time someone scolded him in person, even before the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Cai Jing had no expression on his face and couldn't even look at Zhang Chang. He could only see how angry he was from the slightly shaking of the robe sleeves.

Concubine Wang sighed helplessly. She didn't know what was wrong with the censor, and why she was so dissatisfied with the prime minister that she had to find out the old accounts thirty years ago.

Wu Zhi was gloating and watched the fun while watching Zhang Changdi's psychology. I guess this guy gave up his belief in persistence for Feng'er back then, and it can be seen that Feng'er's position in his heart. Who knows that when he gets old, the person he cherishes most betrayed him. The person who gave up his belief and guarding him betrayed him. It is conceivable how big the blow to him is. If he took him to do a mental examination in later generations, he might have been stimulated and mentally abnormal.
