Chapter 888: Doubt

It was after Lord Wu left Beijing that the officialdom in the capital became even more chaotic, and there were people who bought and sold official bodies in private.

Although the foundation of the country is the emperor, the executors of the country are officials, and without the officials for the country and the people, how can there be the stability of the country and the well-being of the people?

Therefore, the ability and morality of officials must be screened layer by layer, otherwise those who are greedy for money, lustful and vicious will be elected into the official voice and become the parents of the common people.

Just ask if this kind of work will really think about the people and contribute to the country? Naturally, it is a vigorous search for people's fat and people's ointment. Therefore, successive emperors did not allow them to buy and sell officials, and only then did they severely crack down on such acts that plagued the country.

It's a pity that now that the Empress Dowager is in power, the newcomers who were selected by the emperor before were directly thrown by the Empress Dowager to a remote place to be the prefect. And there are many fat differences in the capital, which has naturally become fat in everyone's eyes.

And if you want to win these fats, you naturally have to please the favored ministers of the Empress Dowager, such as Lord Zhu, the first assistant of the cabinet, who is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, step by step to get to where he is today. Originally, I asked the emperor to go home to rest, but I was afraid that I would lose my chance in the officialdom.

But when the Empress Dowager took power, Lord Zhu was immediately reused, returned to the cabinet, and served as the first assistant.

And after this Lord Zhu returned to power, this taste changed, and he no longer had a clear water yamen, and directly began to sell his official position in private.

Naturally, some people will buy officials, and when they hear about a better position, the price is simply not something that ordinary people can estimate. And in front of the Zhu Mansion, there are also crowds. Everyone wants to hook up with this Lord Zhu. Got promoted by Lord Zhu.

With Lord Zhu's bold behavior, the emperor originally let the emperor rectify the slowly clear court, but slowly began to be greedy again.

Loyal ministers above the court were ostracized. The traitorous ministers are becoming more and more proud, what about the Queen Mother? For the old ministers to do things in private, they actually turned a blind eye

Some officials in the DPRK and China insisted on resisting and hoped that the emperor would recover and return as soon as possible. However, the traitorous faction naturally hoped that the emperor would not be ill and continue to be ruled by the empress dowager.

The Qingliu faction began to attack the Empress Dowager in private, began to criticize the government, and began to demand that the Qingming be re-established.

It's a pity that these people are still louder at first. Slowly, some of them fell for no reason. Let's ask how in the capital, how can there be the possibility of a minister being convicted for no reason? Either it was instructed by the superiors, or it was a big mistake.

But what mistakes can the Qingliu faction make? It's just a lip service. Then the only possibility is the one on top, and the one on top is naturally the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager can't tolerate the clear stream and the minister's criticism of her rights. Denigration of her.

This was also the Empress Dowager's initial warning. Because all the officials who participated in the crusade against the Empress Dowager in the next step were all guilty of guilt, and they disappeared.

For a while, everyone in the officialdom in the capital was in danger, and the Qingliu faction wanted to toss again, but seeing those people who disappeared, who would dare to be really tough. When the officialdom is dark, the sky is dark. And the life of the people was sad.

The Empress Dowager didn't care at all, and now the main problem was external trouble. Internal worries are just temporary difficulties, and wait until external worries are solved. Is internal trouble still a problem?

In the Commander's Mansion in the border city, Mo Li was lying next to Liu Yue, although the two slept in the same bed, Liu Yue always had her back to Mo Li. Mo Li is not annoyed, he can sleep in a bed and take a big step forward. "Yue'er, how much do you know about the Empress Dowager?"

When Liu Yue heard Mo Li suddenly mention the matter of the palace in the capital, she instinctively felt a little disgusted, and frowned: "Selfish and ruthless!" ”

Mo Li nodded, "Indeed, the Empress Dowager is not simple. Now that the government is controlled by the Empress Dowager, the Qingliu faction, an official in the capital, has suffered heavy losses. But all the officials who wanted to crusade against the Empress Dowager disappeared and were convicted, and most of them went. ”

Liu Yue's heart tightened, didn't this make the people have a good life? Why did the gods let the little ghost suffer this sin?

Isn't that embarrassing? "What does the old woman want to do, she doesn't know how many people will suffer if this is not good for the people?

Nangong Ming had finally slowly liquidated the officialdom before, but now it fell into the hands of the old woman and was slowly transferred back, isn't this a toss? Nangong Ming really has no rights and lets the old woman toss? ”

Mo Li saw that Liu Yue was excited, and her heart ached, she was still thinking about that person. But after the pain, I was relieved, I didn't expect Yue'er to be relieved immediately, and I didn't plan that Yue'er would be able to throw herself into her arms all at once.

"Nangong Ming was drugged by the Empress Dowager, so he couldn't move at all. And my people found out that Nangong Ming was thinking of escaping from the palace, maybe not long after!

After the Empress Dowager reused the old ministers, the Empress Dowager slowly had the final say, and the Empress Dowager drugged Nangong Ming, making Nangong Ming weak.

The imperial doctor obeyed the orders of the Empress Dowager and did not detoxify Nangong Ming at all. That's why it's happening! ”

"I don't understand, I can't figure it out, the Queen Mother did it to her own grandson. It should be enough to get rid of yourself, so why harm Nangong Ming again? Liu Yue felt that there were many problems in it, which she couldn't figure out.

Mo Li actually thought about it for a long time, and then thought of one thing, that is, those assassins who assassinated Yue'er before.

Although they are Nangong Ming's people, since the empress dowager's old goods took over the palace, are all Nangong Ming's people taken over by that old goods? So can the person who assassinated Yue'er be said to be the Queen Mother?

Although Nangong Ming is greedy for power, no matter how much he hates Yue'er, he will not kill Yue'er with his own hands. From the beginning when Mo Li found out that it was Nangong Ming, he had this question in his heart.

"Yue'er, do you think that the person who assassinated you last time should have been instructed by the Empress Dowager."

Liu Yue looked calm and was not surprised: "Maybe, no matter who it is, anyway, no one in the palace wants me to live." ”

Mo Li put his hand on Liu Yue's shoulder, "Yue'er, I hope you live well 1"

Liu Yue's heart softened, and she whispered: "I understand, you, the child, and the mother don't want me to have an accident."

So I'm going to live well, live well, and watch my children grow up. ”

"When will Lord Wu arrive in the border city?"

Mo Li closed his eyes slightly, he was really tired at the end of the day: "Maybe it's just these days!" Brother Wu is loyal and patriotic, I am only afraid that I will have to embarrass Brother Wu when the time comes, and Mrs. Wu will stay in the capital as a hostage, and I am afraid that in the end it will be 、、、"

Mo Li couldn't say the rest of the words, but Liu Yue understood it in her heart.

"Now you can only take one step at a time!"

The two knew in their hearts that there was no way to retreat now, and it was impossible to live in peace with the Empress Dowager. How could the old man keep Mo Li staring at him?

This peace talk is just a delaying tactic, if Mo Li relaxes, sooner or later the Empress Dowager will calculate. Therefore, no matter what Lord Wu says, the war will definitely start after the beginning of spring. (To be continued......)
