Chapter 232: The Lord of the Loyal Minister

Queen Mother Qian's health is getting worse day by day. Zhen'er thought of her son. She hated the murderer and felt that maybe she had been stained with too much blood... She wouldn't blame others for this retribution. If she could help Queen Mother Qian, it would be considered accumulating virtue. At least she felt more comfortable, and she would not be able to see Queen Mother Zhou's arrogant appearance.

Happy event... Concubine Bai gave birth to a prince... The palace was also full of joy, but it was not long before this happy event happened. Queen Mother Qian was quite happy to leave, but the matter she didn't care about might not be careless. After the empress dowager died, she naturally had to find a way to handle the funeral. This was a major event for the whole country.

It is said that Empress Wang is in charge of the overall situation in the palace, but anyone with discerning eyes knows that it is the one who listens to Empress Dowager Zhou. Empress Dowager Zhou does not want Empress Dowager Qian and the late emperor to be buried with Yuling. This is already known to everyone, but no one dares to contradict her at this time...

Queen Wang dared not offend these people. She has been low-key for a long time. Concubine Wan of Zhaode Palace has not shown much. It is said that Concubine Bai gave birth to a son and she was sulking. The emperor favored her. How could she not be jealous? She hadn’t seen the new prince, but the palace people from Empress Dowager Zhou to Concubine Bai were guarding against this queen. It is said that the death of the eldest son made the Concubine jealous of the second prince...

"Let them say it..." Wan Zhen'er said to the people in the palace. As long as the emperor doesn't think she will harm the prince, she will not be worried about her recent concerns. She is just a little baby... In the future, there may be many such babies in the palace.

"Empress..." General Manager Xia from Zhaode Palace came over and said, "According to the ancestral system, the second prince will be the emperor in the future. Concubine Bai has given birth to a prince and moved into Yongde Palace to live. This is obviously going to sing a stage play with the Empress..."

"Mr. Xia, I don't have time to think about these things, so you should restrain yourself... I'm afraid that outside Zhaode Palace, my reputation is really bad." Wan Zhen'er said, "You actually caused me trouble..."

"I don't dare... By the way, Eunuch Liang from the Imperial Horse Prison came over and invited the Empress to come..." said General Manager Xia, "I'll prepare for you now..."

"Fortunately, you guys are here in Zhaode Palace..." Wan Zhen'er said.

The front hall of the Forbidden City is already very lively. It is not that I am waiting for the emperor, but that some ministers are discussing some things. The Empress Dowager's coffin has moved out of the Forbidden City and temporarily stopped in Jingshan, north of the Forbidden City. However, the Emperor has not issued an order for a long time...

"What do you want me to do?" Wan Zhen saw Shang Lu, the leader.

"You can persuade the emperor..." Shang Lu said.

"I haven't seen the emperor recently..." Wan Zhen said, "But I can guarantee one thing... the adults, especially those loyal and righteous ministers, cannot ignore the mouths of the world."

"You reminded me..." Shang Lu said, "It seems that you are still a little capable of staying in the position of policing envoy for so long."

"What are you saying, sir? I'm not easy to do..." Wan Zhen said, "We can only execute orders, but we don't have the right to discuss politics. We must learn to be ruthless. sir, this person cannot think too much... But you are different from us. What's wrong with the emperor? If you don't mention it, what's the use of you?"

"You have such a big appetite..." Shang Lu said, "I really admire it. Fortunately, God has eyes... but I always thought you were someone who could express your heart."

"I don't have that appetite... I just can't stand it... I'm thinking too much..." Wan Zhen said, "What the emperor entrusted to me is not just the individual..."

"It turns out that he is a ruthless person... but how can you cover the sky with your own hands?" Shang Lu said, "As a minister, we have to remind Master Long Live..."

"Please forgive me. It's hard for me and the Queen Mother to speak... It's the best for adults to advise me, but today I'm here, it may not be these things..."

"The domestic famine in Shaanxi, and the barbarian refugees were in chaos. The army consumed a lot in recent years. Although the king reopened the silver mine, there was still a shortage of silver. Now he promised to do business with the Tatars in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but doing business with them was a loss. These people just wanted to take advantage of our dynasty... The movements of the Maori children need to be kept in mind..."

"The Prime Minister of Beiyuan has never trusted him. Just rest assured that the Prime Minister, Long Sui is not a fool..."

"Recently, Maori kids are lobbying in the capital, but they are afraid that some people will be greedy for small profits..."

"Don't worry, Lord Shang... the people from Beiyuan can't make a fuss in the capital... The inns they stayed at were all our spies, but it's hard to break up now... Besides, some of them are still royal merchants, and if they move, they will make many people unhappy..."

"This is an excuse? I really don't know what you all think?"

"Actually, you can go to the commander Yuan... He has been in Mongolia. He knows better than me what the Mongolians are thinking. After all, I don't have that much time to care about these things." Wan Zhen is coming and going in a hurry, and he will not spend time with these people here... Seeing him leave, Shang Lu sighed: "He was originally a stranger..."

Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, usually doesn't like such arrogant people. The people from the Jinyiwei have always been incompatible with these people. There are also the eunuchs of the East Factory. Wan Zhen looked at him like a father-in-law, and he might not have a half beard at this age. Could it be that he would retreat if he didn't want to help? He whispered to Shang Lu: "The matter of the Empress Dowager is related to the Ministry of Rites. The matter of the Chief Auxiliary is naturally written by the lower officials..."

"How can you have enough power alone?" Shang Lu said: "If I don't dare to come forward, wouldn't it be laughed at by the world? The lord is wrong but the minister doesn't say anything. What's the use for us?"

"The officials are still afraid that they will implicate everyone... Then what if the emperor asks the Jinyiwei to put us all in the imperial prison..."

"So what? How can I be afraid of this..." Shang Lu said, "It's right for the emperor to be the lord, but not everything can be considered thoroughly."

The officials all jointly submitted a report...

Zhu Jianshen thought that this was expected. Empress Dowager Zhou was the queen mother, and these people helped him. How could women in the harem interfere in politics? He could feel the former father under the shadow of Empress Dowager Sun.

"Long live, my mother is very angry. My mother works hard for the rest of her life..." As expected, Concubine Bai came to be a lobbyist.

"I can't deal with these old men... the queen mother will naturally forgive me." The emperor's intentions would certainly not tell this woman. It seems that she has returned to the queen mother's side, and she is the woman recommended by the queen mother.

This harem is also a place for competition among various forces, but there is no one behind the mother, so it is not difficult for her to deal with, and Wan Zhen'er... no... shouldn't think so... Zhen'er was sincere to herself from the beginning, and she would not turn against her... She was just unhappy...
