Chapter 93 Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light
Then she should help him even more!
Sheng Shaoqing called Forsythia in and said, "Who knows when Prime Minister Ji comes today?"
Forsythia tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Except for you, the Queen Mother, everyone on duty in the Office should know about it."
"Is Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Rites here?"
Forsythia nodded, "This maid has an impression. When the maid went to invite the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister specially greeted the people in the office. It seems that there was a person like Liu Shilang. At that time, the Prime Minister was telling him to carry out the rituals of spring plowing over the years.
The process is sorted out!"
Sheng Shaoqing secretly sighed that Ji Wenxuan had exhausted all plans, and at the same time, he gradually felt relieved. What Liu Shilang loved to inquire about most was these gossipy things. Without her taking action, most people would know about Ji Wenxuan's determined relationship with his daughter tomorrow.
The Empress Dowager tried to persuade her to sever ties, but to no avail.
"It's okay, you can go down first."
Forsythia bowed and left in confusion, and Sheng Shaoqing turned around and remembered that there was Mrs. Li in this room.
"Go on."
Mrs. Li looked confused, but she was anxious in her heart. She had just been interrupted by the Queen Mother. What had she just said?
Sheng Shaoqing saw Mrs. Li opening her mouth to speak, but her brows were tightly knitted together and she didn't make a sound. She thought for a while and then continued, "You just mentioned that this matter is of great importance and it is no longer the Li family's business."
Only then did Mrs. Li realize, "I think the Queen Mother already knew that many aristocratic families were involved when she was tracking the stolen goods. Otherwise, she would not have added the names of the legitimate sons of those families to the list of His Majesty's companions."
Sheng Shaoqing was stunned, "You are quite well informed."
She changed everyone in Yilan Yuan, but she couldn't stop the news.
Mrs. Li smiled bitterly and said, "There is no one trustworthy around me anymore."
Li Lingjiang also noticed the Queen Mother's actions and specially asked her to test whether the Queen Mother had also noticed Li.
"Then do you think Aijia's method is feasible?"
Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, "Although this method is effective, it can only be effective for a moment."
"They just want to abandon their sons. Even if they are all imprisoned and lured with temporary gains, they will still be against the imperial court when they wake up."
"What's more, if the Queen Mother goes to investigate, many people have been stolen and turned into phoenixes. Even if they are in prison, they will be the same as at home."
Sheng Shaoqing:??????
Mrs. Li knew from Sheng Shaoqing's expression that the Queen Mother did not know about this, so she had to patiently explain to the Queen Mother, "I have heard before when I was still in my boudoir, that the punishment of prison is also divided into civil and military."
"In prison, on the one hand, the family is very prominent, and on the other hand, by spending a lot of money in bribes, the prisoner can be treated as if he were at home, with good wine and food, living in a pillow-top quilt, and wearing silk and satin
, except that he is a prisoner, he is no different from ordinary people."
"This martial arts prison, on the other hand, is just the opposite. It is prepared for people from poor and humble families. The conditions are extremely poor and they often do not provide food. Therefore, many people starve to death before they can even get a trial."
Sheng Shaoqing said angrily, "How dare they!"
Mrs. Li said sadly, "After the Jin Dynasty, many aristocratic families declined, but a emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the imperial court does not reuse these aristocratic families, the aristocratic families can still dominate one area."
Desire is hard to satisfy, and you will never be satisfied!
With such privileges, why do they want the court to listen to them?!
Just go ahead and dream of their grand dream of restoring the Jin Dynasty’s half-dynasty family!
"I have to say something disrespectful. Compared with Nanjing and Helian, our foundation is too weak."
Not only Mrs. Li understands this, but everyone in Beiliang who has some knowledge and culture and understands why Beiliang founded the country knows it very clearly. Although Nanjing usurped the throne of Jin Dynasty, it also inherited the legacy of Jin Dynasty.
All, so even if those aristocratic families were forced to move south, they now regard themselves as orthodox and secretly belittle the Northern Liang aristocratic families.
Not to mention the Helian tribe, which has been crisscrossing the endless grasslands and deserts since ancient times.
Only the ancestors of Beiliang came from outside the Pass, conquered cities and territories along the way, and established Beiliang on this fertile land.
But the people on this land are all Han people.
Therefore, only Beiliang had the weakest mass base. After a few years without any embarrassment, they finally followed the example of Nanjing and established six departments of the imperial court to govern all affairs in the world.
However, the old ministers outside the pass still maintained some habits of the grassland tribes. Even if they were in high positions, their basic qualities had not been greatly improved.
However, Sheng Shaoqing was a little surprised when these words came out of Mrs. Li's mouth.
Even if it is a fact that everyone knows well, once it is spoken out, it may lead to death.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Mrs. Li said solemnly, "Of course I understand."
"I thought very clearly before I came here. Instead of resigning myself to fate and being treated like a chess piece, I would rather give it a try and have no regrets."
"I am from the Li family, so I can naturally be the Queen Mother's eyes in the Li family, and I can always spy on the Queen Mother."
"Li Lanqing," Sheng Shaoqing asked suddenly, "you, the late emperor, if you were the late emperor today, would you still say these things?"
Mrs. Li had not been called by her full name for several years. She was stunned for a long time before saying with a wry smile, "If I were the late Emperor, I'm afraid I won't die for saying this."
If the late emperor knew that she had stolen something from the palace, she would have already obtained a piece of white silk before asking why. How could she have the life to say this?
Mrs. Li continued, "Or maybe, before the late emperor gave her death, the Li family in Jiangzhou had already hanged her concubine on the beam, saying that she committed suicide out of fear of crime."
After all, there is no way out.
Sheng Shaoqing was amused by Mrs. Li's cold humor, but she felt a deep chill spread out. She admitted that she had set up Mrs. Li, but that was the best remedy she came up with after she couldn't bear to take Mrs. Li's life.
She didn't even dare to kill a fish. It would be a fantasy for her to kill someone else.
But in the future, will she also become someone who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals?
Or is it completely assimilated into a monster that has no regard for life?
Mrs. Li continued while Sheng Shaoqing was stunned, "I have no way out now. The only person I am related to in the Li family in Jiangzhou is my younger brother. I only ask the Queen Mother to spare his life when the Li family is destroyed."
"Do you really believe that the Yi family will succeed?"
Mrs. Li hesitated and said, "Even if the Li family unites with many aristocratic families, most of them are just a mob. As long as the Queen Mother descends with the power of thunder, once the Li family collapses, the rest will naturally fall apart and scatter, so there will be no trouble."
Li didn't regard her as a human being anyway, so why should she sacrifice her life for them and be implicated by them.
Sheng Shaoqing smiled and said, "Do you think the Ai family hasn't thought about it?"
"Have you ever thought about what if you attack the Li family directly and they unite to fight against the imperial court?"
These aristocratic families are scattered all over the place, and they are all capable of dominating each place. If they are united, they are a force that cannot be underestimated. A single spark can even start a prairie fire, let alone these behemoths.
Otherwise, why didn't she just take the children of the aristocratic families out and behead them? Why was she indecisive for so long?
"This," Mrs. Li hesitated, "I have never thought about this."
She has always been like this, doing whatever she says. In the past, the Li family was polite, and she reluctantly helped them do things. But she committed an incident and went to jail, and no one from the Li family around her came to save her. Since they were unkind, there is no need to blame them.
She is meaningless.
Looking at Mrs. Li's expression, Sheng Shaoqing knew that he was right. Mrs. Li was definitely a firecracker. She just rushed and it was over, without much thought about the consequences.
"You should go back first. The Ai family already understands your purpose of coming today, but the Ai family doesn't like these twists and turns. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Li nodded and silently withdrew. She would not have to kneel down to beg for this trick next time.
Seeing that Mrs. Li came out after such a long time, Siyun endured the pain in her knees and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Her Majesty?"
Mrs. Li said indifferently, "The Queen Mother did not suspect Mrs. Li. She only blamed me for being greedy for money. This allowed Wang Cui to take advantage of the loophole and frame me. I am afraid that the rest of the information was leaked elsewhere."
After hearing this, Siyun breathed a sigh of relief and helped Mrs. Li back to Yilan Courtyard.
Lu Zhu, who came out to greet them, saw the two of them limping back, and her heart sank suddenly. Could it be that the Queen Mother refused to see the Madam?
"Siyun, you go and fetch some hot water. I need to take a bath, and then go to the Taiyuan Hospital to find some ointment. You also knelt with me for a long time. After you bring it here, go and have a good rest."
Siyun heard the words and went to do things according to the rules. Luzhu quickly took Mrs. Li and helped her into the inner courtyard.
As soon as Mrs. Li stepped into the room, she immediately turned around and closed the door tightly, quickly pulled Lu Zhu over and walked to the inner room.
"Ma'am, your legs.?"
"I'm fine. The Queen Mother rewarded me with a soft cushion. Although I had to kneel for a long time, I'll be fine after a while. Only that idiot Siyun insisted on accompanying me for you. I suffered a lot of sorrow in vain. Her pair of
I’m afraid my legs will become useless after kneeling on the cold ground for so long.”
Lu Zhu was speechless when she heard this, "Then the Queen Mother."
Mrs. Li nodded, "What you said is indeed true. The Queen Mother indeed has other plans. However, thanks to your idea, our lives can be saved."
Luzhu frowned and said, "My maid advised you at the beginning that what the young man is planning is too dangerous, so why should you get involved? If something happens to you later, he won't care about your life or death."
Mrs. Li almost shed tears and said, "I really have a white-eyed wolf. It would be better to raise him than to raise a dog. The dog also knows how to wag its tail at its owner. His parents died young, and none of the relatives in the clan looked up to our sister."
My brother is easy to bully. It was me who begged my grandfather’s family so that we could have a living together, but in the end he turned around and joined the group of people in the clan."
"Then the Queen Mother agreed to suppress the Li family?"
Mrs. Li shook her head, "The Queen Mother still has concerns, but the Queen Mother's words already have the intention of shaking up the family. Since she has this intention, she is not afraid that she will not be able to wait until this day."
"My maid is afraid." Luzhu didn't finish her words. She only glanced outside. Mrs. Li understood and answered, "I'm afraid Siyun won't be able to move for a while. The Queen Mother has changed the people around me."
, This Siyun is the first person sent by the Li family. If I change him, I'm afraid I won't know how many more people will be sent in, so it's better to keep it and save a lot of trouble."
"As long as the Queen Mother is willing to believe you, and Wang Cui dies without evidence, your life will be easier in the future."
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Wang Cui is also unlucky and fell into my brother's hands. Naturally, I can't let her spit out anything."
"However, I am really a little frightened to see the Queen Mother now. Her aura has become fierce, and she is a bit more powerful than the late Emperor. The late Emperor was already difficult to figure out, but the Queen Mother is even more elusive than his thoughts."
Luzhu smiled and said nothing, what if she becomes the Queen Mother?
Mrs. Li murmured to herself, "I have never seen the Queen Mother to be so powerful before."
Lu Zhu continued, "I've never seen the young man be so rebellious before."
How cute was the young man? He was like a little meat ball, following his master and calling her sister. When brothers and sisters in the clan bullied his wife, he would be the first to rush up and block her behind.
Everything started to change after the young man fell into the lake. Later, the young man actually got involved with the people who had bullied them. Life became much better, and his wife's jewelry became more and more luxurious.
But the smile on Madam's face became less and less.
Mrs. Li suddenly fell silent when she heard Lu Zhu's words. Lu Zhu also knew that she had made a mistake and quickly added, "Madam, you have worked hard for so long. My maid has heated up the ginseng soup for Madam in the small kitchen. Madam, drink it while it is hot and have a good rest."
Mrs. Li didn't know that her brother was a traitor, but after all he was her own brother. She had only deceived herself in the past, but now she had to face the bloody reality. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad.
Since Mrs. Li left, Sheng Shaoqing has been thinking about it. Now that Princess Lin Yang wants to get rid of Wei Zhen, she will suppress the old officials outside the pass. But if Mrs. Li's family is in trouble, it cannot be underestimated. The seesaw between the two is now
It has reached a critical point. A little carelessness may cause turmoil. How to make a decision depends on her.
Her neighbor Helian has another alienation, and she is really suffering from internal and external troubles.
"What kind of mess did you throw at me, the system!!!"
The system didn't respond. Sheng Shaoqing knew that the artificially retarded person probably wasn't online yet.
However, Mrs. Li reminded her that the matter of choosing a reading companion for Che'er has been delayed until now. She wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve palace banquet to see those children, but she didn't expect that Superintendent Chang had arranged a good position for her.
No one looked at it.
Just as he was thinking about this, Yuan Che ran in quickly and asked Sheng Shaoqing to look at the little wooden horse in his hand as if he was taking credit.
"This is...a little wooden horse?"
Yuan Che nodded happily, "Mother, guess who did this?!"
Sheng Shaoqing pretended to think for a while and said, "Could it be Che'er?"
Yuan Che nodded heavily, then shook his head slightly, "The Queen Mother is only half right."
"Then, is there anyone else with you?"
Yuan Che smiled shyly and waved to the back, "Come in quickly!"
A child about the same age as Yuan Che walked in and knelt tremblingly in front of Sheng Shaoqing.
"I... I pay my respects... to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother... Changle Weiyang."
Yuan Che took the handkerchief handed over by the young eunuch, wiped his sweat, and said to the child kneeling on the ground, "Aning, don't be afraid, the queen is very gentle."
