"Su Rong said these things today. If my brother finds out, he will definitely punish him severely. However, Su Rong sincerely admires the Queen Mother and knowing it but not saying anything is disloyal."

"My dearest lady, when Zhang Guaiya was in charge of Shu, the judgment of the treasurer who stole a penny of money was: 'The rope saw the wood through, and the water dripped through the stone.'"

"The key to implementing the system is to prevent the slightest change."

"As the saying goes, a group of feathers can sink a boat, and a group of people can break their shafts. My Majesty, restrain them, just like you restrained your elder brother. That is the way to perfection."

"There is no doubt that internal officials are loyal and diligent. However, after Renzong's rise, this foolish loyalty did not play a good role. It was not only detrimental to the empress, the royal family, and the country's affairs, but also to itself.

It’s equally detrimental to the preservation of the situation.”

"The price of goods in Bianjing, the prince should know about it during this period. The so-called sky-high price of offerings is going on, and the queen should also know."

"Please, if these things are spread everywhere by people who don't know the truth, who will believe that Emperor Daxing Renzong even refused to take one more bite of mutton soup? Even the shabby mattress that has been used for decades is still used? Xia

In the palace, you are only shaking a white sunflower fan worth ten cents?"

"People in the world only know that what the royal family enjoys is a bottle of eternal spring dew worth one hundred thousand yuan, a lamb worth two hundred thousand yuan, and an egg worth nearly a thousand yuan. This is clearly to lead the emperor to flatter him and fall into evil.

!”

After speaking, he knelt down gently and said, "My dear, if Su Rong's words today conflict with yours, please punish me."

Xiang Shouzhong was so angry at what Su Xiaomei said that he jumped up and started to fight: "You little bitch, you still want to stir up trouble! You haven't been slapped in the mouth, right..."

At this time, I saw a little emissary coming outside the door: "Hey, Xiang Douzhi, what's going on?"

Xiang Shouzhong was still angry: "Li Xian! What are you doing here?"

Li Xian ignored him, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, if there is a summons from the official family, please inform everyone."

Empress Dowager Cao was a little wary of this official: "Why do you declare Shouzhong?"

Li Xian smiled and said: "My dear, this is Mr. Han's suggestion."

"The mausoleum of Renzong has been restored. When Han Xianggong handed over the mission of the mausoleum, he mentioned that the ministers who worked hard for this should be rewarded accordingly."

"This matter has been delayed for a long time, and it was finally settled because of my husband's insistence. Everyone knows from introspection that they have been very effective in urging the supplies. Now it's time to discuss the merits."

Xiang Shouzhong was surprised and happy: "Hey, does this belong to our family?"

"Everyone with a discerning eye knows the merits of Xiang Duzhi's urging." Li Xian said with a smile: "But I'm afraid we should hurry up. Those few, hehehe, are now boasting to Xianggong Han."

Xiang Shouzhong grabbed the feet of his robe and ran out: "Your Majesty, I'll come as I please. I'm doing the emperor's business. Who cares about me?! Why are all the dead cats and rats jumping out when discussing merit?"

Yes, if Xiao Li hadn’t come to inform me, I might have missed it alive..."

Li Xian looked at the back of Xiang Shouzhong, who was running in small steps, turned around and saluted everyone again with a smile: "You all are still in good health... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and that little minister also took their leave."

Finally clean again, Empress Dowager Cao quickly pulled Su Xiaomei up: "My little smart person, you are not a girl at all, you are simply an admonisher in Wutai and the censor of the dynasty!"

However, Su Xiaomei frowned and said, "Your Majesty, hurry up and go take a look with Xiang Nei."

Zhao Xu said "Ah": "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaomei said: "If you turn inward, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."

Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Xu were both shocked: "Why?"

Su Xiaomei said: "That Li Xian, where is the edict? From the beginning to the end, he used his mouth to coax him inwards and make him fall into a trap."

"Your Majesty, even though there are many faults in the internal affairs, after all, you are an old man next to the Queen Mother. Even if you are depressed, you still have to have some dignity. Dealing with an internal official is a small matter for Mr. Han, and you can be lenient or strict. Your Majesty

Go watch them and don't let the foreign officials go too far."

Only then did Zhao Xu come to his senses: "Oh, then I'll go and have a look. Don't worry, Madam, Xiang Naiguan has no merit but hard work, and the child will not be left without his whereabouts."

The Queen Mother was a little angry. After Zhao Xu left, she said: "Even the old man who has been serving me for decades has to be disposed of by me. Does he still have me as the Queen Mother in his eyes?!"

Su Xiaomei said calmly: "Your Majesty, there are some people who used to be pampered and pampered, but later they pulled your Majesty to block the arrows. It is beneficial for them to take it, but if they blame it, it will be attributed to the Imperial Majesty. Foreign ministers and officials want to take care of the affairs, but they have to worry about the Imperial Majesty's thoughts.

"

"The grievances are deep, and you are to blame yourself. Madam, if you turn inward, you may not be able to be saved. Mr. Han must have ironclad evidence before he dares to act like this."

"Actually, this is fine. We just take advantage of the opportunity to reaffirm the system, rectify our surroundings, and turn bad things into good things."

"As long as the people of the world have their queen mother in their eyes and hearts, the empress will be at peace."

"As for daily expenses, we have a glaze workshop, so we can be self-reliant. If we do well, we can also feed the government and the court."

"Instead of me asking for things from others, it is better for people to ask for things from me. This is self-reliance and self-reliance. Not relying on others' charity. My brother said, this is not asking for anything and not flattering, and not having desires is strong."

"With these 160,000 guan, what can't be done? When my brother took us to earn our own living, we started by cutting bamboo into hooks and plastic clay into pots. What is the situation in Meishan now?"

The Queen Mother held Su Xiaomei's hand and her eyes were a little red: "It's a pity that there is no understanding person around me, so the trouble has reached this point..."

Su Xiaomei held the Queen Mother's hand: "It doesn't matter, the prince admires the Queen Mother very much, and the Queen Mother raised the Queen with her own hands. Let us let the past go."

"In the country's dynasty system, the harem does not participate in government affairs. But if you do not participate in government affairs, there is nothing to do. My brother said to pick a few small things to start with, and if you do them well, it will be of great benefit to the country in the end..."

…

Ren Shouzhong was kneeling on the cold ground, and Han Qi was sitting upright on top, looking at him coldly.

Ren Shouzhong was dripping with cold sweat, and he no longer looked arrogant and domineering around the Queen Mother.

Han Qi glanced at him with disgust and said word by word: "Xiang Shouzhong, you have repeatedly committed treachery and plotted between two palaces. Your crime deserves death."

Ren Shouzhong shouted: "I don't. I am loyal to the Queen Mother. My husband cannot trust others!"

Han Qi dropped a document: "This is the evidence collected from the palace people. When the emperor ascended the throne, you should have asked the queen mother to write a letter and preside over the ceremony. But you acted boldly and tried to obstruct it."

After he finished speaking, he dropped another copy: "The Emperor is ill and has made mistakes in his words. Instead of trying to persuade him, you instead used divisive words, calling him unkind and unfilial, and you spread the word inside and outside."

Then he left another one: "During the mission to build the mausoleum, he went around making extravagant claims and disturbing the prefectures and counties. In the name of the Queen Mother, he secretly collected more than 30,000 yuan from the treasury, but the proceeds from the Cining Palace did not exceed 3,000 yuan!"

"Xiang Shouzhong, just these are enough for you to lose ten heads!"

"Sima Dajie, Lu Dianshi, please have me executed in court for more than ten chapters. Not only do you not want to repent, you think you have the Queen Mother to rely on, and you become more and more arrogant. Today, your life is over!"

Xiang Shouzhong cannot deny it, but he has been working in the palace for a long time and is very familiar with the system: "My lord, you can't scare me! Even if you want to deal with me, the edict must comply with the procedures! This matter cannot be completed in one day! The Queen Mother will come to save me.

Mine! She won’t let you do whatever you want!”

Han Qi flew into a rage and was stunned: "You are such a arrogant and heartless person! Now that things have happened, do you still want to involve the empress?!"

After speaking, he took out an edict: "Sorry, I have a blank edict here right now. Ouyang Shenzheng and Zhao Shenzheng have signed it. Just fill in your crimes and you will be punished immediately! I want to see who can

save you!"

I heard a clear voice outside the house shouting: "Wait a minute!"

Xiang Shouzhong was like a dying man who was rescued again, and he was ecstatic: "Someone is here! Your Majesty sent someone to save me! My husband, you can't cure me..."

When he turned around and saw it was Zhao Xu, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Han Qi stood up and said, "I have met the prince."

Zhao Xu picked up all the testimonies on the ground and read them page by page carefully, ignoring Xiang Shouzhong who was shaking like chaff on the ground: "Mr. sir, are these all true?"

Han Qi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, these were collected by Sima Dajian and Lu Dianshi, and they are irrefutable evidence."

Zhao Xu twitched his lips: "How are you going to deal with Xiang Shouzhong?"
