Chapter 209: Action
"Obey the Order"
"The Emperor Shengming"
"Niang Niang Shengming"
The queen proudly looked at the ministers kneeling down under His Royal Highness, and felt irritable for a while, and even saved pretending, and waved her hand directly: "All Aiqing is flat."
Many of the ministers standing below, including even those who belonged to the queen's party, frowned involuntarily when they heard such an unscrupulous order from the queen.
Such an arrogant queen, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for them.
The early dynasty ended in the different minds of the people.
After leaving the main hall, Chu Fan, Wen Anze, and Wen Anhao slowly stayed behind everyone, and the three of them did not talk too much.
After a while, the five princes also broke away from the large army in front.
Wen Anze and Wen Anhao walked quickly in front of the Fifth Prince and Chu Fan, covering their figures and preventing someone in front of them from suddenly turning around and seeing them standing together.
Chu Fan was not in a hurry to talk to the five princes, but looked straight ahead, waiting for him to speak first.
It wasn't until everyone was about to walk to the palace gate that the fifth prince said in a low voice: "...... Let's start", and then without waiting for Chu Fan to respond, he quickly walked past Chu Fan and the three of them and walked towards the minister in front.
Let's get started!
Chu Fan, Wen Anze, and Wen Anhao glanced at each other, and then the three of them curled the corners of their mouths in unison.
The twenty-fifth year of Yuantoku was an unquiet year for most people in Kyoto.
At the beginning, it was just that the children of the eunuchs who often relied on the power of the family to oppress the people were sued to the court with a complaint because of big and small things.
Slowly, this phenomenon is like a virus, from the powerless children of officials and eunuchs to the current embezzlement and bribery, preying on the common people, and robbing the people's daughters in court positions, all kinds of crimes were exposed, and for a time it caused an uproar among the people.
There were even a large number of people who gathered in front of the government to demonstrate, demanding that the court give them an explanation.
Although various government officials also sent officers and soldiers to suppress those who picked quarrels and provoked troubles several times, they did not see any effect. On the contrary, things are getting worse and worse.
In desperation, the imperial court had to conduct an open trial of those officials suspected of committing crimes according to the demands of the people. The outcome can be imagined, a large number of officials were imprisoned for endless crimes, and even five or six were sentenced to be beheaded at noon.
Among this group of officials, Lord Shangshu was fined for one year for his unstrict godson.
And the current prime minister has also been seized for the crimes of reselling counterfeit drugs and bullying in the medical clinic he opened, and he has also been implicated in several industries under his name.
Time. The officials in Kyoto are all in danger, and the people in Kyoto are excited.
"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste"
With a sharp curse, the queen threw the tea cup in her hand on the ground, and the slightly hot tea soaked her feet.
"Mother, mother, please stop being angry"
Seeing that the queen was angry, the palace maid who served tea knelt on the ground and grabbed the ground with her head. "Please calm your anger, slave, this, this"
The queen raised her foot and kicked the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground. "Come on, give the useless dog slave to the palace to come out of the cane and kill it"
The queen's kick used full force, and kicked it on her heart, and the palace maid suddenly felt cold in pain. But even so, she immediately got up from the ground and kowtowed her head again. Within a moment's effort, blood flowed from his forehead.
"Niangniang, please spare your life, please, Niangniang, please forgive"
Before the "life" could be said, he was gagged by the person who came in and dragged him out.
The grandmother, who had been standing next to her, saw that the queen's anger was smoother, so she stepped forward and bowed down to flatter: "Niangniang is angry, it's not worth being angry for those cheap maids", said, and took the tea cup handed by the palace maid again and presented it to the queen.
The warm tea slid through the tip of the tongue and flowed into the abdomen, which could be regarded as extinguishing the queen's anger.
"Where is Hongu angry with that idiot. It's the bunch of waste in the middle of the air. A few unruly schemes have made them look like lost dogs, what a bunch of waste"
The queen glanced coldly at the grandmother standing there with her head bowed, and said angrily: "Did you find out what the palace asked you to check?"
Mama raised her head and motioned for the surrounding palace maids to leave, and only after she and the queen were left in the hall, she bowed down to the queen and said softly: "It is said that it is from the five princes."
"Supposedly?" , a soft sneer rippled from the queen's mouth.
But it was this seemingly chuckling voice that scared the grandmother into a cold sweat.
has followed the queen for decades, if she still doesn't know that this is a precursor to her anger, then she has really lived in the palace for so many years in vain.
As soon as her knees weakened, she lay at the queen's feet and began to beg for mercy, "Niangniang forgive your sins, Niangniang forgive your sins"
was so troubled by the noise of begging for mercy that the queen waved her hand to get her up: "Okay, okay, get up." ”
Zhilu Dao is now the time to use people, and the minion next to him is not a young man, after all, it is very easy to use, so the queen doesn't plan to do anything to her now.
"You've been with me for so many years, and you're an old man, do you still have to call you in this palace for some things?"
After hearing this, Mama finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in her heart. Since the lady in front of her took power, her temper has become bigger and bigger, and she will beat and scold her subordinates if something goes wrong, and even the old people who have been following her are sometimes not spared.
"Xie Niangniang, Xie Niangniang forgive the old slave", she stood up tremblingly, and she continued the topic just now: "Niangniang also knows that these things have been too big recently, and there are too many people involved, and Niangniang also knows that if you send someone to investigate with great fanfare, it will definitely attract the attention of others." So that's all I can find out now."
"Waste, this palace usually raises so many people, and it is at a critical moment that they are allowed to do things like this", the queen saw that Mama was frightened by her own scolding, so she had to restrain her anger first, "Go, let them check it for me"
"Yes", Mama respectfully accepted the order, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped walking out, and said cautiously: "Niangniang, I don't know if the old slave should say it"
The queen frowned and said impatiently: "Say it"
Although I don't know if this matter has anything to do with the recent events, the old slave thinks that it is better for the mother to know the Tao in advance. The people who came to report that the fifth prince is now relatively close to a few new officials."
"Oh", the queen responded playfully, "Although this palace knows that they are not honest, I didn't think they would dare to do this, it seems that this palace still underestimated them."
"Mother?"
"Alright, you go down first"
Waving her hand to signal the person next to her to go down, the queen closed her eyes and began to ponder.
Compared with the monstrous anger on the queen's side, the atmosphere on Chu Fan's side can be described as relaxed.
"Ha Luha, it's so painful these days, you haven't seen the emperor"
"An Hao"
Wen Anze interrupted his younger brother's speech, frowned and reprimanded: "How many times have I told you, you should speak and act steadily, but look at you now, I don't know what to say and what not to say."
Seeing that his eldest brother was about to start nagging again, Wen Anhao hurriedly interrupted him and changed the topic, "Big brother, I know that I am wrong, I will definitely change it in the future." Now let's talk about our plan, what to do next"
"Hey"
Wen Anze raised his forehead and sighed, it seems that what he just said was really in vain.
And Grandpa Chu Fan, who was sitting next to him, changed his indifference in front of people, and chuckled, "An Ze, I think you should stop talking about him in the future, and you can't change An Hao's temperament."
Wen Anhao originally wanted to step forward to give Chu Fan a circle, but under Wen Anze's angry glare, he could only withdraw his hand in a sneering manner and sit there to initiate an awkward awkward start.
Wen Anze shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything about Wen Anhao, but turned his head to look at Chu Fan: "This matter has really made a lot of trouble recently, what did that person say?"
Chu Fan was silent for a while, and then frowned and said indifferently: "Over there, he only said that everything is up to us, and he only makes a move when necessary."
"Hmph", hearing Chu Fan's words, even Wen Anhao, who has always been arrogant, disdained, "It seems that your cousin is our pawn."
"An Hao"
This time, Wen Anhao did not joke with Wen Anze like before, but looked at his eldest brother seriously, "Big brother, there are some things that we have to plan for in advance, like the current situation that can use us, that person can guard against us here, if that person really gets a position one day, I'm afraid we will end up with a rabbit and a dead dog."
This time, Wen Anze did not interrupt his brother's words, but asked him to say what he had been deposited for a long time, firstly, because he himself had this idea; Second, he wanted Chu Fan to know that they didn't necessarily have to be the fifth prince to help, but because of Chu Fan, they cooperated with him.
Of course, Chu Fan understood what Wen Anze and Wen Anhao meant, and he didn't have any anger at the moment, but felt a little happy because of Wen Anhao's words.
If they didn't really think of themselves as family, they wouldn't have said such things in front of him that could bring them disaster.
If Chu Fan has no feelings for the five princes at all, it is absolutely impossible. After all, they also used to get along for a while when they were children.
But if he was asked to choose between the five princes and Wen Anze and Wen Anhao, then he would definitely choose the latter.
Chu Fan got up from his seat and said to Wen Anze and Wen Anhao in a solemn tone that had never been done before: "Big brother, second brother, in fact, you could not have been involved in these things, but I know that a large part of the reason why you chose to do this is to help me, and I know all this."
After being silent for a while, Chu Fan seemed to have a lot of determination before he said in a deep voice: "...... So, I'm not going to let you have anything to do, and, whatever happens, I'm just going to stand by your side" (to be continued......
