In Yingdu, outside the palace, a carriage with black background and vermilion paint was slowly moving forward. Someone discovered by the roadside that the knight on the carriage was actually Qu Jian, the knight of the late king.
There were two people in the car. The woman in a red robe was the late king's favorite concubine Zhao Ji. Next to her sat a young man. The young man did not wear a red and black robe, but a bright yellow silk robe that looked like gold.
"The first king..."
"shut up."
"..."
The nobles beside the road all had angry looks on their faces, but they were angry and could do nothing. The Dou family, which had been the loudest before, had actually stopped its activities at this moment. Whether it was the Dou family in Bai Ju or the Dou family in Quanyi, they all seemed to acquiesce to Zhao Ji.
The "draping curtain".
This Jin woman is really strong!
What's even more unbearable is that some princes actually supported Zhao Ji immediately. The reason is very simple, Zhao Ji can get "Red Clouds" from Wu State.
At this moment, the red robe on Zhao Ji's body was made from "Red Cloud" and was as beautiful as the sunset.
Men, women and children all over Ying were shocked when they saw her.
Every woman dreams of having such a beautiful outfit.
Just for "Chixia", I don't know how many people surnamed Mi are willing to give Zhao Ji a toe.
At the court meeting, as the "Queen Mother", Zhao Ji presided over the meeting.
Visitors continued to send memorials from various departments, and then discussed issues based on these memorials.
The eunuch Zhao Zhong, who was originally just a dowry minister of Zhao Ji, has now become the palace minister of the Yingdu Palace of the Chu Kingdom. His cold eyes swept across the entire hall, standing next to the incense burner on the side of the steps, condescendingly able to command the Chu ministers.
Their expressions can be seen clearly.
"Queen Mother..."
Caressing the yak joint in his hand, a roll of music slowly unfolded on the table with a clatter.
The bamboo slips were densely covered with birds, but Zhao Ji's ability to become the late king's favorite concubine was not only due to a woman's skillful skills on the bed, but also her intelligence.
When the late king was seriously ill, the person in charge of the affairs of the harem was Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji's "smartness" is supported by an entire think tank.
Si Gong Zhao Zhong is actually a member of the entire huge think tank.
"The 'Arrow-bearing Scholar'... was actually defeated by the Wu Barbarians."
The entire hall was very quiet. Zhao Ji's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, as if it could be heard clearly in every corner of the palace.
I couldn't hear any emotion in Zhao Ji's tone, but the "Queen Mother" said to her son sarcastically: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, when I heard about the Battle of Biyang, someone said: Fighting outside is like a rat, fighting inside is like a tiger. Your Majesty rules personally.
At this time, we must recognize the virtuous and capable in order to make the country prosperous."
When these words fell into other people's ears, it was actually fine. Only the members of the Dou family felt their faces tremble after hearing this.
Bitch!
All the Dou clans cursed secretly in their hearts. They knew that this woman actually meant something, but they could only endure it. If any Dou clan couldn't help but jump out, he would be truly embarrassed and thrown into the family.
"What mother taught is..."
The new King of Chu, who had only been on the throne for a few days, actually had no idea what he was doing.
Even before going to bed at night, he had to hug his wet nurse and drink until he could fall asleep.
However, the new King of Chu has heard what people around him have said many times that his position is not yet stable and there are many people who want to oust him.
Among them, there is Doushi.
But now, Dou Shi seems to be in trouble.
Not only was the defeat of the "Arrow Bearing Soldiers", but also the state's official surrendered to the enemy, and the official there was expelled by Sui Guo... This series of events all marked one thing. After the Chu State was ravaged by the Wu State, the Huaihe River
After many years of operation, it was completely wasted.
Zhoulaicheng, Liaocheng, Baiyi, plus the semi-autonomous status of several small vassal countries, the losses suffered by the Chu State this time were simply unimaginable.
The country's population alone may be five to six hundred thousand.
Not to mention that the Bai Ju Dou clan still had more than 3,000 prisoners of war in Li Jie's hands. These must be obtained through negotiation. Even if the Dou clan did not mention it, Ying Du would do the same.
Thank you for your kindness. After those prisoners of war return home, they will be even more grateful for the kindness of the Queen Mother and the King.
After all, it was not Dou Shi who saved them.
"My lords, there is something I don't understand. How can you teach me?"
Zhao Ji's clear and slightly enchanting voice echoed in the hall.
The ministers looked at their noses and hearts, and they all knew that there might be trouble at this time.
"I heard that the loss of Zhou Lai was not conquered by the Wu barbarians, but actually Yun Zhenlu abandoned the city and fled... I don't know whether such behavior is guilty or innocent? If not, I am a young woman, just curious to ask
.”
"Your Majesty, Qu Fei, please play."
"allow."
Qu Fei, the master of the mausoleum, Zuo Shi, came out of the procession. After bowing, he said: "Qu Fei, please report to the Empress Dowager Ming. Your Majesty, Yun Zhenlu abandoned the city and fled, which is a capital crime! Who dares to convict him of innocence?"
"Don't be surprised, sir. I am a woman and I don't know about big politics, so I have this question."
After saying this, Zhao Ji smiled and even looked a little embarrassed. She changed the topic and looked at the mausoleum master Zuo Shi Qu Fei, "There is a saying: One thing is worthless for two masters. Qu Zuo Shi, abandoning the city and fleeing is
It’s a capital crime. What kind of crime is that for surrendering to the Wu barbarians?”
"I submit this to the Empress Dowager Ming, Your Majesty. This crime is also a capital crime!"
"ah?!"
Zhao Ji's eyes widened in astonishment, looking shocked and frightened, and then she asked strangely: "How can a person die twice?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
There was no noise in the entire hall. Some people lowered their heads and snickered, but they did not dare to make a sound.
Qu Fei, the mausoleum master Zuo Shi, was also speechless. He knew that Zhao Ji did this intentionally, but he still said loudly: "Several crimes are punished at the same time, which is also a death penalty."
"I see……"
Zhao Ji thought thoughtfully and nodded, "So, even if Yun Zhenluo abandoned the city and fled and surrendered to Wu Man, he would only have to die once?"
"As the Queen Mother said."
Gently clasping her hands together, Zhao Ji immediately smiled and said, "Then tell Yu Yousi that Yun Zhenlu will die."
All the ministers felt strange. Even if you said that Yun Zhenluo should be killed, he had already surrendered to the enemy. How could he commit suicide at Li Jie's place?
But before the ministers could react, Zhao Ji said again: "The doctor from the state... Yun Zhenlu deserves what he deserves."
All the ministers who didn't know the reason bowed down and responded, saying, "The Queen Mother is wise and the Queen Mother has a virtuous name." In short, this woman still followed the procedures, which is good.
After flattering her a lot, and just thinking about sneaking into today's court meeting, Zhao Ji asked curiously: "Yun Zhenlu is a state official, and he is dealt with according to the national law. I don't know that Bai Ju Dou Shi leads the crowd and is good at starting a battle."
Things, so what?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The mausoleum master Zuo Shi Qufei, who was standing alone in the center of the hall, suddenly had a grimace on his face.
Qu Fei thought to himself that he was just an army staff officer, and he only came out to help answer questions. Isn't it too much for you to suddenly make such a move? It's very hurtful.
Isn't the hero of the Lingshi the "Arrow-bearing Warrior" fighting master? This is the signature character of the Chu army, but why the hell are you saying that he leads the crowd and is good at fighting?
Yes, that's right, but hasn't this been our Chu country's tradition since ancient times?
But tradition is tradition, it is not correct, it is indeed incorrect.
And others can't complain about Zhao Ji's speech, because first of all, Zhao Ji is the Queen Mother, and secondly, Zhao Ji is a fucking Jin person.
Smelly bitch from Jin Kingdom!
In the entire hall, there are definitely not just one or two Chu State veterans who are full of malice!
