042: The Scholar's Scheme

"Master Chen, is your illness so cured? What a coincidence. ”

In the apse of the Qianming Hall of the Endless Palace, Ai Tosaka stood in front of the empress's desk and sneered at Chen Shihong, who led the courtiers to see the empress.

Look at these people, didn't what she said to the empress come true?

Mortals are afraid of power but not virtue, the day after the royal gate ceremony, the originally deserted palace suddenly became lively, and those who complained of illness and old age ran back.

But now that the empress has just sat on the throne of Sheji, Scholar Chen has run back, and the timing is too coincidental.

"Governor Tosaka, at such a critical juncture, continuing to deceive the court will only make people's hearts more unstable. ”

Scholar Chen's tone was gentle, not only dodging Ai Tosaka's attack, but also sealing his throat with a sword when he counterattacked. "Her Majesty has already sat on the throne of the Society, right?"

Stared at by several pairs of scorching eyes, Ai Tosaka couldn't help but be angry, these guys want to take advantage of the fire to rob!

Even if she wasn't a saint like the Empress, her power was far beyond that of an ordinary legend. All the people present added up to not enough for her to twist her little finger. But she also knows that killing these guys who make her extremely unhappy will only make her more unhappy. The world will be more chaotic because of this, and the empress will continue to sit on the throne of the society, not knowing when she will be freed.

"The empress has something to do and has returned to the Holy Mountain, and the affairs of the palace and court are all temporarily taken care of by me. ”

She held back her anger and made a declaration that even she had no confidence in. As she expected, the civil and military officials present were in an uproar, not because the empress could not govern, but because they were dissatisfied with her, a Fusang woman.

"Your Majesty has left an edict on this matter," a clear male voice sounded, letting the one-sided pressure dissipate a lot, "Both the contemptible and Shangguan Bingbi have received the edict and assisted the head of Tosaka. ”

This is the right capital of Yu Shi Lu Shixing, gentle and elegant, with a pair of beautiful hair, which can be regarded as dignified. However, he was stared at with disdain by Scholar Chen and others, as if he was a courtier who only knew how to greet him.

Without waiting for Chen Shihong to question the oracle, Lu Shixing said again: "The scholars and you came at the right time, although the governor of Yuansaka was ordered to be regent, but the affairs of the court still have to rely on you, and the governor is just checking and filling in the gaps. For the governor, the stability of Zhongjing and the local area is the top priority. ”

This is a clever guy who deserves Shangguan Qing's recommendation.

Seeing that Chen Shihong and the others looked relaxed and agreed with Lu Shixing's statement, Ai Tosaka secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Qing shrunk behind the desk in the corner, pretending to be flipping through official documents, looking like I was just a pen.

"When it comes to stability, the old man is here for this. ”

A look of pain appeared on Chen Shihong's face, "Your Majesty's display of power at the ceremony is indeed a great deterrent to the demons and the younger generations, but some other people with treacherous minds have taken the opportunity to make trouble. In the past few days, there have been chaos in the frontiers, with Songzhou in the northeast and Wenzhou in the southwest being the most. The two places have formed millions of people with rebellious people, and they have occupied the state government, killed officials and set fires, and the face of the court has been greatly damaged. ”

These words made Yuansaka love Shangguan Qing and the others stunned, Shangguan Qing hurriedly rummaged through the documents, Chen Shihong tilted his head and said: "The urgent telegram of the guards of the two states should arrive at the military headquarters early in the morning, but the military department is busy dealing with the rebellion, so it should not be bothered to forward it to the imperial front." If the governors of the two states had had had time to send official telegrams, they should have arrived at the Department of Communications a few hours ago. If it has been presented to the Imperial Front, it is at the bottom ......"

As soon as he said this, Shangguan Qing pulled out two telegrams.

Tosaka's eyes changed slightly when he saw Chen Shihong, this guy was sick at home, but he knew about the world's major events faster than the inner court, no wonder he could get the nickname "tumbler" in the era of the first emperor.

"The rebellion in these two states is a trivial matter," Lu Shixing was unwilling to be controlled by Chen Shihong, he was now the banner figure of the "Empress faction", "Deal with it as usual, and the military garrison of the state and the general army of the province can enter and exterminate it." According to the contemptible people, the chaos in Zhongjing is related to the rampant speech, and relevant images and speech should be banned immediately. ”

"How does this work!"

Chen Shihong didn't come forward, and several waiters stood up, gossiping and suddenly controlling their speech, which would make the people suspicious of the empress's situation, and people's hearts would be even more chaotic.

Knowing that these people are Chen Shihong's mouthpiece, what he can say is very reasonable, which makes it difficult for Lu Shixing to insist, and this is exactly the response that Yuansaka fell in love with Guan Qing and discussed with him before.

Ai Tosaka also proposed other measures, which were rejected one by one. Their list of hazards is convincing, but when they put their ideas together, it seems that nothing is enough to maintain the status quo.

"Your Majesty will step down from the seat of Sheji at any time," Ai Tosaka said coldly: "When the time comes, you will do nothing, what face will you have in the face of Your Majesty?"

Everyone was silent, Chen Shihong lowered his eyes and said: "My emperor is as bright as the sun, and the courtiers are just dark stars without light, if they are too dazzling, it will damage the brilliance of our emperor." ”

Ai Tosaka's mind turned around before he roughly understood, and he couldn't help but feel angry, but he had nothing to say. Didn't the empress show her extraordinary power at the ceremony, making the courtiers and servants like gods in awe and awe?

"The chaos in Zhongjing and the local area is still a trivial matter, and the danger that can really shake the great tomorrow is still in this endless palace. ”

suppressed Ai Tosaka and others, and Chen Shihong finally tried to see the dagger. "Before the first emperor ascended the throne, he had a son, and during his reign, he went to the seat of Sheji many times to suppress chaos, and the longest time was half a year. Because of the crown prince's supervision of the country, the government was not affected. ”

"What if...... The old man said that if His Majesty also sat on the seat of Sheji for a few months, it would be difficult for us to be willing to spend the difficult times with the head of Tosaka, and the people of the world would be unconvinced. If Your Majesty can't sit down, does Governor Tosaka want to be regent I?"

Ai Tosaka was stunned, she couldn't take it. When he was hesitating, a noisy voice suddenly came from the front hall.

"We are the Zhu family, and you and other slaves dare to stop us!?"

"It's a matter of tomorrow's safety, and it's our duty to let us in!"

"The head of the court in the district, or a Fusang woman, dare to order our Zhu family? When will it be the turn of the overseas barbarian girl in the Zhu family to have the final say!?"

It turned out to be those princes and princes of the Zhu family, remembering their appearance in front of the seat of Sheji at that time, Tosaka pouted disgustingly.

Yu Linwei, the palace guard, is the person she carefully selected, so naturally she will not let them in, but it is not easy to gag them, and it is so troublesome that the apse can't talk about it for a while.

Yuansaka Ai looked at Lu Shixing, expecting him to go out and drive those princes away, but Lu Shixing lowered his head.

Looking at Chen Shihong again, the other party smiled faintly and looked at her calmly.

Ai Tosaka still doesn't understand, those princes were summoned by this person, and the purpose is to seize power.

But this is not a conspiracy, it is a conspiracy.

The empress really can't sit still, how can she, an outsider, control the court, and can only let the hundred officials of the clan govern.

She was convinced that the Empress would soon get up, but she couldn't convince anyone else.

If this guy is allowed to become the regent of the royal family, when His Majesty comes back, it will not be easy to make a big move, and she will naturally never back down.

Ai Tosaka's eyebrows gradually raised, and for her, there was no other way to solve such a tricky matter than to use the power she was most familiar with. Even if there is a huge aftermath, she can't care about it.

"According to the ancestral system, the king cannot be more than ten years without being in charge. ”

A soft female voice suddenly came from the corner, "If you go beyond it, you must be regent." According to the usual theory, the regent should be the crown prince's state. If there is no prince, the court and the clan will tell the heavenly temple and discuss with the temple and the temple guard. ”

Shangguan Qing lowered her head, like a small document that only provided advice, "Therefore, within ten days, it is not appropriate to change Her Majesty's faction without authorization."

This is very clear, Ai Tosaka's regent can only be done for ten days at most. ”

Ai Tosaka was furious, turned his head to look at Shangguan Qing, looked at it, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared.

Shangguan Qing is helping her buy time, ten days...... How can the empress leave the throne of the society within ten days.

Chen Shihong smiled and arched his hand, "What Bingbi said is extremely true, the princes are really anxious." ”

..................

The morning light was bright, and Gao De, who had two panda eyes, got into a luxury car. Wang Kunlun couldn't put down this car and was willing to be Gaode's driver.

Last night, he killed hundreds of demon hatchlings in the strange space, and the label of the demon figure changed from "mutilated" to "ordinary". Gao De couldn't resist but went to the top of the mountain to try it, but the result was only to double the resistance time.

The consequence of playing too much was that he couldn't sleep, but fortunately, Gao Miao thought that he was too tired from the ceremony, so he was very considerate and didn't wake him up, but he slept until Wang Kunlun came to pick him up.

"Local rebellion, all state officials killed?"

Gao De was yawning, and when he heard the news, he choked and coughed.

"What's the news? I know, it's all bad news. ”

The steam wagon drove out of the alley and galloped down the sparsely populated avenue. Listening to Wang Kunlun's list of chaos in Beijing and the local area, Gao De's heart became heavier and heavier.

"Is there any news from Lord Hyakho?"

Wang Kunlun pretended not to care and asked, "My friend told me that last night, Scholar Chen took hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as princes and princes, to the Qianming Palace to face the monarch. They didn't see Her Majesty the Empress, and now they are the regent of Tosaka. ”

"Really?"

Gao De gasped violently, and the empress sat down!?

Thinking back to what I encountered in the strange space yesterday, not only were there many demon hatchlings terrifying, but the white light vortex of the zenith was also extremely active, could it be that there was a seal that blocked chaos and suppressed the demons?

"Who knows?"

Wang Kunlun said faintly: "Who knows if Her Majesty the Empress led the snake out of the hole to test the loyalty of the ministers, of course, the Lord of the Hundred Households is not among them." ”

Hearing the meaning of his words, Gao De declared: "I don't know, I might as well give you an explanation, I just know the head of Tosaka, or I only saw the empress for the first time at the imperial gate ceremony." ”

"Lord Baihu has misunderstood," Wang Kunlun also hurriedly declared, "How can I find out the details of Lord Baihu?" I just think that we don't have to worry too much, just follow the established policy of Lord Baihu." ”

Gao De didn't understand, and it was difficult to ask.

When they arrived at the elephant training place, their subordinates respectfully came to pay respects, and then squatted in their own pits, looking tired and waiting for death.

Gao De really doesn't understand, the others are fine, why did Wang Kunlun change his attitude? Yesterday he was clearly the same as himself, feeling that the chaos in the world was related to the previous evil and demon incident, and once he was held responsible, it would be a disaster to kill his head, but today he has become nothing and light?

Reaching out to grab the phone, I wanted to ask Ai Tosaka again, but suddenly a spirit stopped.

Although the Ming Dynasty in the era of the first emperor was generally stable, all kinds of chaos still rose one after another. The rebellion in the two states is nothing, and there have been major defeats in the northeast wilderness where millions of armies have been killed. At that time, the emperor did not govern for half a year, obviously going to squat on the toilet...... No, it's the seat of the society.

The Empress was the first Sage Emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and was much more powerful than the previous emperor. As long as she sits on the throne of the society, the chaos caused by this chaos should be easily resolved. As for the demons that escaped to the mortal world through the shell of mortals, not only are they few in number, but they are not invincible, and mortals can kill them after all. There are Yu Linwei and alternate punishment days, as well as masters like Xiaoli and the white-haired old woman, and they are not worried that they will overturn the Ming Dynasty.

So...... Even if the power shown by the empress at the ceremony is very scary, it does make everyone believe that no matter what mess happens tomorrow, it is just a small mess, and the ceremony still has a positive significance.

Thinking further, the tide of darkness surged in Gao De's heart.

It seems to be a good thing if the empress just sits on the throne of the society and sits forever.
