Chapter 249: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Of course, there are also people who can't see clearly, and the first person he can't see clearly is his master Shangguan Candle, although he has been by his side for so many years, but he can't see through him after all.
The second is Feng Xiyan, who is alone at the moment and is ready to tear his face with Empress Dowager Li, he thinks that he has seen her very thoroughly since he first saw her.
However, as he got along later, he realized that he had never understood her, and what he thought was thorough was just an illusion that Feng Xiyan deliberately showed him, not the real her.
Because every time, her words and deeds, what she did and what she showed were what he had ever thought about, which surprised him, for example, in the harem, the most taboo thing is sincerity, but in her place, sincerity is the most important thing.
For example, in the matter of Wang Rong, Feng Xiyan was obviously very angry, but he was still worried that the environment he was in was not good, and when he thought of trying to do it, he hinted to him to rectify it with a hard mouth and a soft heart, the purpose was to make Wang Rong live more comfortably.
Xiao Dezi found that the more he got along, the more he couldn't see through what kind of person Feng Xiyan was.
Because everything is traceless, everything is unfounded, everything is so unpredictable.
"Mother, have all my people retreated? Are you really sure that there are no rebels among your people? Aren't you afraid that they will betray you and spread the word about what I have said? β
Empress Dowager Li was suspicious of Feng Xiyan's attitude, and she was very uneasy.
After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand to signal his people to stand down.
"Yes."
After everyone had retreated, she spoke, "Everyone has retreated according to your wishes, what do you want to say?" β
Feng Xiyan glanced at Empress Dowager Li with a smile, picked up the watermelon on the table and took a bite, chewing it while saying inarticulately.
"What's the queen mother's hurry? Everyone has retreated, anyway, it's not dark yet, it's still early, we have time to talk slowly, talk slowly. After all, the queen mother is here, but there are too many secrets! β
"Humph! Is the emperor really a three-year-old child? Didn't you just find a Changning Marquis Mansion? Isn't it just an ordnance business? Yes, the mourning family intervened, but so what? The arms business originally belonged to the inner courtyard of the palace. β
"When the emperor was still there, the ordnance business had already fallen into the inner courtyard of the palace, so there was nothing wrong with the mourning family meddling, not to mention, the mastermind of this matter was the Changning Marquis Mansion, what does the mourning family have to do with it? What the mourning family doesn't understand is that the emperor wants to threaten the mourning family with this matter, which is too naΓ―ve. β
Looking at Empress Dowager Li's sworn appearance, Feng Xiyan couldn't help but chuckle,
The old fox is really an old fox, and it's really hard to deal with, but so what?
Although she doesn't have much in her hands, she has mastered it after all, and she still doesn't believe it, with these things in her hands, she Empress Dowager Li can still turn over the clouds and rain, really cover the sky with one hand, and snatch away the evidence in her hand?
In the past, the little emperor was weak and did not have any supporters, but now it is different, Shangguanshu has been entrenched in the palace for so many years, step by step to today, how can he not have power in the court?
Of course, these are only part of the story, and the most important thing is that these days, she keeps showing her talent, so that those ministers who are stupid and waiting to see her plasticity and see the hope in her.
Therefore, the current emperor is no longer the puppet who was manipulated and rubbed at will by Empress Dowager Li in the past, and in addition, the current Fengxiyan is no longer the Fengxiyan of the past.
"How dare I treat my mother as a three-year-old child? The queen mother is in my heart, it is a god-like existence, she can fight all the way to the front hall from the time of the first emperor, this means, this courage, this courage, are all incomparable to me, and they are all things I need to learn. β
"I have just said that I sincerely want to learn from the queen mother, not just joking, but it depends on whether the queen mother is willing to accept me as an apprentice? Of course, since you want to learn art from a teacher, the apprenticeship ceremony is indispensable, the queen mother's art is high and bold, and the apprenticeship gift must be valuable, otherwise how can you be embarrassed to get it? β
"That's right, in the case of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, I did get something from it, although the queen mother was so sure that she would settle Wenshan, but why did the queen mother think that the Marquis of Changning handed over those things to Liang Wenshan?"
"Or does the queen mother think that the Liang family is sincerely attached to you and live?"
"Why not? What is his Liang family, if it weren't for the mourning family seeing that he Changning Hou was still useful, and reluctantly letting him join the mourning family, just with his Liang family's low-level status, he still wanted to join the family of Daning City, it was simply wishful thinking, why didn't they be grateful to the mourning family. β
For the Liang family, Empress Dowager Li has never looked down on them, if it weren't for the fact that the Liang family's father and son still have some use value, she wouldn't have taken care of them.
Feng Xiyan chuckled twice, and couldn't help but feel sad for Liang Wenshan, thinking that before he died, he was still full of trust in Empress Dowager Li, thinking that she would try her best to save his Liang family.
Actually? The truth is always so cruel and unforgiving.
"Hehe, at such an old age, why are you still as naΓ―ve as a child? The reason why people are attached to you is just for interests, status, power, well, of course, you know all of this. β
"However, if there are benefits, then you can't get sincerity, you can give him what he wants today, and I can give him what he wants tomorrow, it's just a different person, so what is a person, only interests are eternal."
"Is Your Majesty now teaching the mourning family how to behave and do things?"
Seeing that Feng Xiyan was so leisurely and confident, Empress Dowager Li's heart couldn't help but panic, although she knew that she might be bluffing her, but from the understanding of this time, this puppet has never played cards according to common sense.
Sometimes when she is sure that she can't produce evidence, she throws out something surprising, and sometimes when you think she has something in her hand, he can't take out anything, it's just a fool.
But now seeing her so calm and relaxed, Empress Dowager Li couldn't control it, and couldn't help but panic, and quickly thought in her mind when she was dealing with the Liang family, had those account books and letters been thoroughly dealt with?
After thinking for a moment and making sure that those things had been dealt with, Empress Dowager Li's flustered heart completely calmed down.
