Chapter 117: Auxiliary Ministers
The day after Helian Zhu asked to see the emperor, Li Yuanlin made a name for himself in calming down the people's anger, rescuing the imperial family, and loyally supporting the emperor.
After the eunuch read out the decree in a shrill voice, the ministers finally exploded.
Someone said: "This is the emperor's first will after taking office, and as a courtier, he should support it." β
Some people also said: "One person takes care of two important positions, the Western Dynasty has never set a precedent, but it is just to send people to calm down anger and rescue the imperial family, and the emperor has really rewarded too much." β
Someone echoed: "Yes, the first assistant of the imperial front is an auxiliary minister above 10,000 people under one person, and in the past, the queen mother was in charge, and the position of the first assistant has always been Uncle Liang, and now that the queen mother has retired, how can even Uncle Liang be dismissed together?" β
Someone immediately replied: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, Uncle Liang Guo asked to retire!" β
"Huh? How come Xia Guan has never heard of it? β
"Since the fable of the heavenly stone spread, Uncle Liang's mansion was frequently threatened by thieves, Uncle Liang sent someone to investigate, but more than 20 people were sent out when it was obviously good, but when they came back, only their heads were left, that night, more than 20 bloody heads were neatly placed in front of the door of the Uncle Guo's house, and the door of the house was written with the blood-red characters of "Liang Party does not retreat, it is bound to be annihilated", the wife of the uncle was so frightened that she fainted on the spot, and the uncle himself was not lightly frightened, and the result was written an excerpt of resignation overnight, and it was presented to the palace the next day. β
Li Yuanlin was dressed in court clothes, straightened his waist and sat on the golden chair where the golden dragon was entrenched, the king's breath was awe-inspiring, and he took in the sound of the discussion below, and squinted his eyes to stare at Helian Zhu, who was standing closest to him.
I saw that although the old fox lowered his head, his face was full of spring breeze smugness that could not be concealed.
recalled receiving a secret letter from Helian Che the night before, which stated: According to the report from the spies who monitored Helian Mansion, Helian Zhu's father and son conspired to force Uncle Liang to hand over the position of first assistant in the name of the Heavenly Divine Stone.
Therefore, Helian Zhu killed twenty people in Liang Guo's uncle's mansion as a thief, and Li Yuanlin did not find it strange.
As for Uncle Liang Guo, it is a matter of nothing to say it well, but if it is ugly, it is just a wine bag and rice bag that covets power and wealth, and once it is out of the wings of Liang Hou, it is nothing, and it is not worth use.
Helian Note is different, he has great power and ambitions, and it is not easy to completely eliminate the Liang Party with his hand.
Therefore, since Helian Zhu wanted this important position of first assistant, Li Yuanlin gave it to him.
If you want to destroy flies, you must lure them with honey.
Li Yuanlin didn't mind letting Helian Zhu become the fly that drowned in the honey jar.
After all, in order to achieve the goal, it is always necessary to give benefits to make them take it lightly, so as to succeed.
This is called a puzzle, the other party is completely immersed in the sweetness, and when he comes back to his senses, everything will be settled.
At that time, what Liang Party, what Helian forces, will cease to exist.
That's what he'd love to see.
Now, let the old fox be proud!
The man's face was set off by the luxurious court clothes and became more and more handsome, and the bewitching red lips gently rippled with an intriguing sneer.
Just when everyone in the court was thinking about it, the porcelain, candlesticks, and wine cups in the Shengning Palace resounded chaotically and scattered all over the place.
The beautiful woman with a distorted face stood in the messy picture, her eyes were vicious, and she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "Not only did he force the mourning family to retreat, but now he has kicked Uncle Liang out of the court!" What's even more infuriating is that he actually named Helian a person with wolf ambitions as the first assistant of the imperial front! This is to exterminate my Liang family! β
"Queen Mother, I heard that Uncle Liang Guo took the initiative to resign!" The little eunuch innocently reminded him, causing another old eunuch next to him to kick him secretly.
Empress Liang's eyes were fierce, and she looked at the little eunuch who spoke like a demon.
The little eunuch couldn't help but shudder and knelt on the ground in a panic.
Tang Luo's face did not move, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the Queen Mother going to do now?" β
This question successfully caused Liang Hou's murderous intent to plummet, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Go to Danxia Palace!" The mourning family wants to ask the emperor in person, what does this mean? Uncle Liang has worked hard since his auxiliary government, how can he ignore the heroes of the Liang family, and reuse the kind of two-faced and three-knife young man like Helian Note! β
Outside Danxia Palace.
Liang Hou was stopped by the garrison.
Meimu stared fiercely at the armor-clad and expressionless guards, and scolded: "Bold minion! Do you dare to stop the mourning family? β
The guards knelt on the ground, and there was no trace of fear in their tone, but they said reverently: "The emperor has ordered, no matter who you are today, you will not see it!" β
"The mourning family is the queen mother! The Emperor's Mother! β
Liang Hou raised her voice and widened her eyes, as if to remind the garrison that Li Yuanlin's "no matter who it is" did not include her.
He Naishu still didn't buy it: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the emperor has specially explained, even the Queen Mother is gone!" β
"Bold!"
Empress Liang roared angrily and glanced at Mama Lin behind her.
Mama Lin immediately stepped forward, "pop, pop" gave the guards two slaps, and reprimanded them together: "There are really no rules for talking to the Queen Mother like this, come here, take it down, and tell the Confession Division to teach him the rules in the palace!" β
The mother-in-law who followed the group at the end of the group was like hunting dogs, smelling the smell and about to come.
But when he saw that the other guards who were originally guarding in front of the gate of Danxia Palace came over in unison, the hand holding the sword suddenly tightened, and the momentum was even more overwhelming.
This made the mothers-in-law, who were still majestic and high-spirited just now, suddenly frightened, and their steps forward slowed down.
"Do you want to rebel?" Liang Hou was so angry that his face turned pale.
At this moment, the little eunuch in the palace hurried over with small steps.
First saluted to the queen of Liang, and then said: "The emperor told the slave to pass the word, please calm the queen mother's anger!" In the past few days, I have been so busy with government affairs that I can't take a break, and after dealing with the affairs of the DPRK and China, I will go to Shengning Palace to say goodbye to the Queen Mother! β
Can't take a break from the busy government affairs? I'm afraid that I knew that she would come to the door because of Uncle Liang Guo's matter, so I just hid and disappeared.
Liang Hou sneered, she didn't expect that her son was scheming and more like a monarch, why didn't she find out that he had so much edge before?
"The Queen Mother? Do you want to keep waiting? Mama Lin waited for her to make a decision.
"What are you waiting for? Since the emperor has said so, wouldn't it make outsiders suspect that the mourning family has other intentions? Empress Liang snorted coldly, waved her sleeves, stared at the little eunuch, and said in a strange manner: "The mourning family has now retreated to the harem, and the emperor should be busy with government affairs!" You go back and take good care of the emperor for the mourning family! β
The little eunuch bowed slightly, and should: "Obey the orders of the Queen Mother!" β
On the way back to the Palace of Saint-Ning.
Mama Lin carefully supported Liang Hou, seeing that the hatred on her face had not diminished, she sighed secretly in her heart, and could only be relieved: "The emperor is still young, and it is inevitable that he will not think about big and small things, the queen mother just mention it more, but don't be angry." β
"Mention something?" Liang Hou raised his voice suddenly, paused in his footsteps, and looked at Mama Lin, "Do you think the mourning family can still mention him?" β
She had just been deprived of power, and the trusted Uncle Liang resigned, which was equivalent to cutting off her right and left hands in control of the overall situation, how could she be happy? At this time, Mama Lin said the word "mention", isn't this deliberately blocking her?
Realizing that something was wrong, Mama Lin immediately bowed her head and pleaded guilty: "The old slave lost his words!" Please punish the old slave after the Queen Mother! β
"That's it!" Liang Hou was impatient, and turned her eyes to look at Tang Luo: "Is there any news about that girl from the green kite?" β
Tang Luo had a saber hanging from his waist, his big slender knuckles were held tightly on the hilt, and he shook his head: "No news." β
"Then go and see what she's been up to lately," Liang Hou's eyes glowed dangerously, "Tell your little fiancΓ©e, don't forget your identity!" Although the mourning family ignores the government and politics, if anyone in the harem dares to do something deviant, the mourning family will not spare it! β
Liang Hou was reminding him to restrain the green kite, and he was also sending him a dangerous message - I was afraid that Liang Hou had a premonition.
Tang Luo understood it in his heart, and made a gesture towards the back of the beam.
At this moment, the director of the Imperial Weaving Room, Mama, led a group of palace maids over.
"See the Queen Mother!"
The superintendent respectfully bowed to the queen of Liang.
Liang Hou nodded slightly.
The superintendent got up and was about to lead a group of palace maids with trays in their hands to leave.
"Wait!" Empress Liang's gaze fell on the tray in the palace maid's hand.
The supervisor bowed her head and waited for questioning with a regular look.
"What are these?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, this is the dress that the concubine needs to wear when she enters the palace, and the slave is about to present it to the emperor to see if there is any need to add objects."
"Concubine?" Empress Liang was puzzled and asked, "What concubine?" β
The superintendent Mama is a withstandable person, she asked, and the superintendent Mama replied calmly: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the servants don't know, and the Imperial Weaving Room is just acting according to the emperor's orders." β
"Ridiculous! Even the future queen has not started to cut crown clothes, where did any noble concubine dare to be so arrogant? β
Liang Hou is vigorous.
The palace maid of the imperial weaving room hurriedly bowed her head and knelt on the ground, but at the same time she didn't dare to put down the tray in her hand, so she had to straighten her waist and kneel.
The supervising grandmother glanced at the palace maid on the ground, and then looked at the angry Liang Hou, and said stubbornly: "Please forgive the queen mother, the royal weaving room just obeys orders, and I really don't dare to speculate about the holy will privately!" β
"Bold and cheap, and dare to fool the mourning family! The mourning family is asking you, the imperial weaving room doesn't know who the concubine is, so whose size are these things cut according to?! β
The supervisor replied calmly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the imperial weaving room is a concubine's clothes and ornaments tailored according to the size given by the emperor. β
When Empress Liang heard this, she laughed angrily: "Okay! The emperor is really grown up now, and he has such an idea that he wants to accept the concubine and even hide it from the mourning family, okay...... That's great! β
After that, he lowered his eyebrows and said to the palace maids who knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere: "What else are you rubbing?" Since the emperor is waiting, why don't you go quickly? β
The superintendent bowed again and told the palace ladies to get up.
As if he had been granted amnesty, he got up and hurried away.
Empress Liang turned around with the support of Mama Lin, looked at the palace maids who were flying away from a distance, and gritted her teeth: "The mourning family went to see the emperor and ate the closed door, but now the emperor wants to summon the imperial weaving room with great fanfare?" The mourning family wants to see, what kind of concubine can have such a big face to make the emperor so attentive? β
The woman's eyes were full of viciousness, and the hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly.
