Lin Zhong was dragged down, and the hall instantly became silent. Unexpectedly, before the hearts of the ministers could drop, another heavy thunder exploded from the imperial steps.
"Fei Jiang respects himself by supporting the bandits. When suppressing the bandits, he kills three and leaves one, thereby taking the opportunity to control the military power. He deeply owes the emperor's favor. From now on, he will be demoted to the north to serve as the pacifier of Tongzhou!"
To put it bluntly, the Tongzhou pacifier is responsible for maintaining local stability in a bitter cold land. When war occasionally occurs, he is responsible for ensuring the daily life of the people and ensuring a stable supply of food and grass for the army soldiers.
Although he was not an important minister in the imperial court and had no military power, he could still be regarded as a high-ranking official in the local area.
Gong Yun'ao was determined to deprive Fei Jiang of power and military power. It was no longer a matter of time. Now was the time when Fei Jiang's party was becoming more and more rampant. Fei Jiang was ambitious and established party strife everywhere. He tried his best to exclude Shu Shihuai's party and monopolize power.
It has caused him dissatisfaction.t.
The feud in the court undoubtedly broke the already fragile trust between Gong Yun'ao and Fei Jiang, and also forced him to go astray.
Fei Jiang shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! The humble minister has been wronged! Your Majesty, please investigate clearly!"
Fei Jiang was shocked and frightened when this decree was issued. He did not expect that Gong Yun'ao would catch him off guard at such a time.
Fei Jiang himself did not expect that the last sentence he said was still criticizing the imperial concubine, and the next second, he would be manipulated by His Majesty. It turned out that he had already collected evidence of his crime, and was waiting for this moment to strike a fatal blow with him.
With Lin Zhong killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, how could anyone dare to exonerate Fei Jiang? At the court, Fei Jiang was demoted, and the officials were also frightened. Everyone was in danger, fearing that it would harm Chi Yu and follow Lin Zhong's footsteps.
It seems that His Majesty has been planning and brewing for a long time, and is only waiting for today's breakthrough, so that he can hit it with one blow, leaving him unable to fight back.
He was defeated, completely defeated!
However, although Fei Jiang was demoted, his sister was not affected. The edict was still valid. Half a year later, a ceremony was held to confer the title of queen, and his sister was still honored as the queen.
His move demonstrated His Majesty's imperial grace, and at the same time, it also left Fei Jiang with dignity. Although he lost military power, he was still considered a prominent figure in the local area.
In the imperial court, Fei Jiang had experienced two dynasties and held a high position. There were many factions under him, and there were too many officials whose interests were entangled with him. If he was sentenced to death now, people would be panicked and Da Qing would be involved.
foundation.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Chen Bing of the Dongling Kingdom is marching northward, watching with eager eyes, and it is about to break out. At this time, people inside and outside the court need to be united.
If there was any trouble, it might be difficult to clean up, so he could only suppress it step by step, and he would take this opportunity to see how many cronies still support him.
Firstly, he can test them, and secondly, during this period, he can uproot several of his confidants in the Ministry of War. However, during this period, he still needs to secretly collect evidence of several of their illegal crimes.
When he returned to Fei Mansion, the imperial edict that he was demoted had also been handed down. Everyone in Fei Mansion was frightened, fearing that Fei Jiang would vent his anger on their servants.
However, there was only one person who was not afraid, and that was Fei Qiyang. When she learned that her eldest brother had been demoted from General Jianwei to a minor official of the fifth rank, she was immediately shocked beyond measure.
She couldn't believe it at all that her eldest brother, who had always been favored and the most important official of His Majesty the Emperor, would be demoted one day and be sent to a bitter and cold place like the North. What should she do?
Fortunately, His Majesty did not cancel her conquest ceremony half a year later. If her eldest brother's matter affected her path to the throne, then she would really have a death wish.
And she couldn't help but feel resentful. There was no guarantee that Shu Yao was not the one causing the problem. She blamed all the emperor's dissatisfaction with her eldest brother on Shu Yao.
Fei Jiang knew that his little sister had been pampered since she was a child, and was arrogant and complacent. She was not well-educated and easily angered, which would lead to trouble.
Although his sister is a little clever, she is still young after all, and her thoughts are sometimes inappropriate and incomplete. Therefore, Fei Jiang is afraid that he will leave and he will not be able to persuade her or control her, making her angry.
If she acts recklessly and recklessly, who will be able to save her then?
Fei Jiang's heart
He hit rock bottom, but the moment he saw his sister, his heart ignited with hope again, "Little sister, my brother is leaving for the North tomorrow. You should be good at home alone and don't be willful..."
Fei Qiyang was full of unwillingness and resentment. She grabbed Fei Jiang's arm and couldn't help but cut off her words, "Brother... tell me, is it Shu Yao that ***? Her reputation is already so bad, why does Your Majesty still...
Don’t you want to destroy her?”
When Fei Jiang heard this, he felt very anxious. He was worried about this sister. What should he do with her?
"Sister, please don't cause trouble again. Shu Yao's position is solid and hard to shake in His Majesty's heart. Don't try to change anything, because you can't change...everything..."
Fei Qiyang didn't believe it, and shook his head desperately, not wanting to admit it, "No, I don't believe it, I don't believe that woman has the ability to tie His Majesty's heart..."
"Maybe, maybe I didn't do enough. When I catch the evidence of that woman's affair with Bei Mingye and bring it to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely destroy that woman. By then, my sister will be able to avenge her brother.
..."
The strong desire for revenge penetrated into every drop of her blood and every cell. She struggled and resisted crazily, wanting to take revenge in her own way.
"That's enough..." Fei Jiang held her shoulders and shook her vigorously. His red eyes were full of anger. His voice was loud, and he immediately calmed down Fei Qiyang, who was speaking freely.
"Brother?!" Fei Qiyang whispered in horror. This was the first time he had seen his brother so angry.
In the past, he would never say a harsh word to himself and doted on her so much that it could be said that he was lawless. But this time, he yelled at her and shook her!
Seeing that she was overly frightened, Fei Jiang felt unbearably distressed for a moment. He softened his expression and said calmly, "Sister, listen to my brother's advice. You are no match for Shu Yao. Don't act rashly. His Majesty does not have you in his heart, only Shu Yao.
You are no match for this alone, so if His Majesty does not have you in his heart, whatever you do will be wrong, and this is very dangerous for you!"
"Sister, half a year has passed quickly. As long as you don't cause any trouble and spend this half year in peace, then His Majesty will not depose you as the queen without any reason. So, one word: endure."
"As long as you endure these six months and you become the queen, why worry about your brother not returning to the capital and restoring his throne?" Fei Jiang said sincerely and devoted himself to planning for his sister.
"Brother!" Fei Qiyang squirmed his lips.
Seeing her stunned, Fei Jiang became anxious and said loudly: "Promise, brother!"
Fei Qiyang was frightened by his yelling, and murmured unwillingly, "Okay, sister, just promise to brother!"
When Fei Jiang heard this, his hanging heart finally returned to his chest.
The night was as dark as ink, Gong Yunao walked back to the palace under the stars, and happened to see Shu Yao waking up with a smile from her sweet dream.
Seeing the silly smile on her lips, Gong Yun'ao was extremely curious and asked: "What sweet dream did you have? Are you smiling so happily?"
Shu Yao yawned and said lazily: "I dreamed of the white wolf..."
Gong Yun'ao took off her short boots and asked curiously: "White Wolf? What do you dream about?" What could this silly girl dream about White Wolf?
Shu Yao glanced at him with evil intentions, smiled stupidly, and said: "Haha... I dreamed that I was riding a white wolf and running in the forest..."
Gong Yun'ao lifted up the quilt and got in, put his arms around her waist, then leaned close to her ear and whispered evilly: "Yao Yao, how do you want to ride tonight? It's up to you."
Shu Yao's ears felt hot due to her teasing, she shrank her neck, and softly exclaimed: "Huh?"
"Come on, Third Brother is ready, let me ride for you!" The ambiguous words immediately reached Shu Yao's ears, causing her heart to beat faster and her face to turn red.
After Gong Yun'ao said ambiguously, he lay down on his back, pulled her waist and pressed against him.
Shu Yao half pushed, half pushed on the ground, her voice was like a kitten, "You hate it, I'm so sleepy, so tired, I don't want it any more!"
Gong Yun'ao suddenly turned over, changed from passive to active, and pressed the person under him. The quilt was pulled high, and the person retreated to the soles of his feet little by little, and the gentle kiss slowly went all the way down...
Suddenly, a man's muffled, low and heart-pounding voice came from under the bed, "Yaoyao, go to sleep when you're sleepy. Third brother, please enjoy it."
The night is so restless, the wind is so wild and evil, and the clouds are such an illusory sea of ups and downs...
The next day, Shu Yao came to the servant's room. The maid Zhuxi was lying weakly on the bed. The little maid next to her was carefully applying medicine to her injured hands and legs.
A few days ago, Zhuxi was still in unbearable pain from applying the medicine. After a few days of conditioning, the wound healed slightly and was no longer as painful as it was a few days ago.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhuxi suddenly turned her head and looked around, just in time to see Shu Yao coming to her bed. Zhuxi was so shocked that she wanted to stand up and salute, but was gently pushed down by Shu Yao.
"Empress!"
"In the future, when you are well and able to go to the ground, when you salute me, all the etiquette does not matter now. Just heal your wounds. If you dare to get up again, I will be angry!" Shu Yao said seriously.
"My Lady, please don't come to the servant's house again. You have a distinguished status. I'll be careful not to taint you. I'm a good servant! Master, don't worry about me." Zhuxi was lying on the bed. Although her body couldn't move, her head kept moving.
Knocking.
No master would ever come to the servant's room, but as for her master, since she was injured and brought back to the palace, the master has come every day. If something delays her, he will come to see her as usual the next day and explain this.
your.
Shu Yao was both moved and remorseful in her heart. There was such unyielding energy and tenacity in her small body. How could she not feel distressed?
"Zhuxi, you were injured because of me. I must come and see you. If you want me to feel at ease, you should take good care of me. I don't care whether you are dirty or not.
"
"Master!" Zhu Xi's nose felt sore and tears filled his eyes.
"In the past few days, I have asked the imperial kitchen to make some medicinal meals for you. You must eat well, you know? Only when you are full can you have the strength to recover from your wounds faster." After Shu Yao finished speaking, she looked at Zhuxijia
He lifted his legs that were covered by the guard plate and said comfortingly: "Mr. Zhao is very skilled in medicine. It can take up to half a year to recover after putting the guard plate on. By then, we will do some leg training and we will definitely be able to recover as before. Don't worry."
Zhuxi nodded and responded: "Yes, I know, thank you for your thoughtful consideration!"
Shu Yao felt this and said, "Don't say that, I am lucky to have you!"
Zhuxi felt her nose was sore, her eyes were hot, and the hot tears just flowed down, "Mother!"
Shu Yao couldn't bear such a scene and quickly changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"
Zhuxi nodded, and suddenly became worried again: "Mother, did the previous court make things difficult for you? You killed the envoy of Dali Temple for the sake of your slaves..."
Hearing this, Shu Yao put a pair of beautiful hands on the top of her hair and comforted her: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Your Majesty has the final say in everything. No one can harm me."
