At the gate of Cining Palace, relying on solemnity, Concubine Liu closed her eyes tightly, Zhang Yangong, the queen of the middle palace, sat on the side, and Concubine Yu, Concubine Chun, and Concubine Liang were dressed in imperial concubine dresses and ranked lower.

Since the bottom of the stairs, kneeling full of concubines of the six palaces in the east and west, Jieyu, Zhaoyi, nobles, and beauties, this is the first big discussion of the Liu family since taking charge of the harem.

Since Emperor Wanli drove to the west, she felt that she was lonely, Zhu Youxiao's decent respect, and the seal of the Queen Mother in front of her could not fill the emptiness of a woman from the depths of her heart.

She spent several years believing in and worshipping Buddha, escaping into the empty door, and getting out of the world to fight against this inner emptiness.

But now, with an edict from the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty is about to usher in the biggest change since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Zhang Yan is not enough to face those courtiers alone.

She knew it was time for her to step up.

The wind and dust blew over the faces of the concubines under the stairs, and Concubine Liu was full of sadness and helplessness to find that the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty were still the same, and this group of annoying courtiers was still the same.

Nothing had changed except for her declining face and her decaying body.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, perhaps, as the emperor sent back to the capital to say, this Ming, it's time to change.

When the first emperor was here, he used all his strength to fight against his ministers, and even did not hesitate to ignore the government as a weapon of revenge, trying to restore the dignity and authority of the Son of Heaven who had been scattered in the dynasty for hundreds of years.

At that time, he accompanied the first emperor, but he did not play a role in this struggle, and perhaps now, this is his last chance.

"When the emperor was in Beijing, he was diligent in political affairs day and night, and never dared to say anything. After the emperor's southern tour, the mourning family burned incense and worshiped every day, and did not dare to relax. ”

Concubine Liu opened her mouth leisurely and said thoughtfully:

"Unexpectedly, the ministers repeatedly disobeyed the holy decree and broke into the palace to meet the audience, shocking the spirit of the Holy Mother, so that the government was corrupted, the discipline did not exist, and the people speculated."

"There are even some people who spread rumors outside the court, speak viciously, and want to drive discord."

The concubines looked at each other, there have been rumors in and out of the palace recently, in fact, among the people outside the palace, the whole thing has fermented to the other extreme.

The ministers were also divided into two factions and attacked each other, leading to the corruption of discipline.

Since there is no emperor in charge, and the queen of the middle palace is helpless about it, it cannot play a role, and at this time, the palace urgently needs a person with high authority to stand up and define this matter.

Zhang Yan didn't dare to be the master, so the burden fell on Concubine Liu's shoulders.

Concubine Liu convened the concubines today to say something on behalf of the palace and make a final decision on this matter, so that she could clearly and clearly define this matter.

The ministers broke into the palace, which was a great rebellion, and the conservatives who did not obey the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse became rebels who did not obey the decree.

As for the rumors of the people at this time, they are all secretly carried out by lawbreakers, who want to drive discord and sow discord between right and wrong, lest the world be chaotic!

When the concubines were dumbfounded, Concubine Liu reached out and grabbed Zhang Yan's arm beside her, gave her a reassuring look, and said slowly:

"The queen doesn't have to worry anymore, she really explains the situation of today's ministers breaking into the palace, and traces back to the source to reassure people."

Zhang Yan comprehended her look, that is, she sorted out her words in her heart, and then saluted Concubine Liu, and said respectfully:

"In the name of 'loyalty to the monarch and the country', all the ministers advised Your Majesty how this move was inappropriate, but the ministers did not see what happened during Your Majesty's southern tour, nor did they know what the situation was in the land south of the Yangtze River right now."

"Officials who have been laid off in the Nanjing Ministry can also go to other places to serve as officials, and the salaries they save can also alleviate the financial crisis."

"Your Majesty is so sage, Taizu customized, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the outer court is full of entanglements, and the palace is forbidden, what is your intention?"

"Ministers, you must not fall into the situation of unfilial piety and injustice, and you should do it yourself."

Concubine Liu smiled when she heard this, looked around at everyone, and said majestically:

"Did you hear what the queen said?"

The concubines sighed in their hearts, and naturally knew that this was the rhetoric prepared by the concubine and the queen in advance, and they saluted together and said in unison:

"The concubines and others respectfully receive the teachings of the concubine and the queen's mother——"

Concubine Liu turned sideways again and motioned for the two concubines to step forward, she led Concubine Yu with one hand and Concubine Chun with the other, and looked carefully at the look in their eyes.

These peasant girls who had just been selected from outside the palace had never been deceived in their eyes, and Concubine Liu could clearly see the alienation with the emperor in their eyes just by looking over.

She held on to the back of her chair and stood up with difficulty, and the concubines hurriedly went to help, but were repulsed.

Concubine Liu came to Zhang Yan, who was sitting respectfully, and looked at it quietly for a long time, in her heart, the words that she had just said were what a queen should really have.

At this time, the corners of Concubine Liu's eyes were full of laugh lines, and she sighed like a real mother:

"Look at the emperor's little jade, it's all so good."

After the words fell, Concubine Liu waved her hand, and in the worried eyes of the concubines, she was carried into the Buddhist hall by Concubine Yu and Concubine Chun, and continued to burn incense and worship the Buddha for the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

......

Soon, the news that Concubine Liu was presiding over the harem discussion spread all over the court.

The ministers met separately and continued to discuss their views.

Since Wei Zhongxian came back from the Qianqing Palace, his face has been very bad, and the fans don't understand that today, there are very few people who will annoy the factory like this.

After hearing the news of the harem discussion, Wei Zhongxian carefully inquired about all the statements of Concubine Liu and Zhang Yan, and then laughed heartily.

The wrinkles on his face piled together, and he stroked his palms and said:

"It has to be Concubine Liu!"

Immediately, Wei Zhongxian's face changed, and he said coldly:

"Spread the order of the Governor, from now on, if the people discuss the content of the holy decree in vain, they will be arrested and imprisoned for spreading rumors and violating the law and disrupting the government!"

Fu Yingxing replied on the side: "Uncle, what about those big officials in the outer court... Since the imperial court did not have a fixed court meeting, their large and small gatherings can be much more diligent. ”

"Since the Holy Decree arrived in Beijing, Han Yi's threshold has been kicked out."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him and sneered: "Han Yi dares to let them enter the door?" ”

"Not only did he dare before, but he also held many small meetings in his house, but after leaving the palace this time, he closed the door and thanked the guests, saying that he had a cold."

Fu Yingxing smiled as he spoke, obviously not believing it.

Wei Zhongxian put his hand on the table, kept knocking on a hammer with blood stains on it with his fingernails, and said in a deep voice:

"It's really time for this wind and cold to be dyed, when the ministers broke into the palace today, the governor was in the Qianqing Palace, and he was still alive."

"Let's not take care of these foreign court ministers first, start with the people, unless the people make trouble, they won't arrest them, and they will focus on those who spread rumors."

"Send someone to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Beizhen Fusi to take a trip, and tell the fans, this time it is best to catch a big fish, what is the first auxiliary protégé, Shilin Daxian apprentice, this identity is the best, this governor is good to follow the vine and touch the melon, and take a batch first."

"It's a pity, the academies in Beijing have been ordered to close our Dongchang, if they are not closed, it is a good place to go right now."

Fu Yingxing laughed a few times, and then walked away with the two stall heads.

Wei Zhongxian sat in the official office of the East Factory, turned his head to look at the statue of Guan Gong behind him, his eyes gradually narrowed, and suddenly said:

"Come on——!"

"Prepare carriages and horses for the governor, and the governor will visit the first assistant's house!"
