Chapter 65: The Crazy Woman
Jiang Wan tried several times, but every time she was ridiculed, she simply participated in this kind of small party with a plain face, and every time someone laughed at her, she would say that this girl was naturally beautiful, unlike you who can't cover the ugliness with rouge.
Over time, she got used to being plain, and the aristocratic ladies of Jingzhou City were also afraid of her poisonous tongue.
"Hey, the mourning family has shouted at you several times, what are you wandering in?" Jiang Wan said angrily,
"Luo Yan", you go outside to pick a big red peony. β
"Peony?"
"Yes, it's the kind of red that looks very tacky, especially like the kind of peony of the dominatrix."
Luo Yan thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what connection this graceful and luxurious flower of peony had with a creature like Dominatrix.
He thought for a while, "Niangniang, the peony has not bloomed at this time, at least wait for half a month, or let's replace it with a peony fake flower?" β
Jiang Wan felt that this was also the case, so she snorted twice and looked at him through the bronze mirror, "Come, put a more majestic bun on the mourning family." β
Luo Yan gave her an old-fashioned bun, and paired it with a fake peony palace flower, how cheesy and cheesy it is.
Jiang Wan was very satisfied.
She stood up and spun around twice, looking at herself in the mirror, sacrosanct, "Go, go up." β
She walked out of the Tianxiang Hall and saw Gu Yu coming from a distance.
Gu Yu was obviously stunned when he saw her.
Those eyes widened, and they held back for a long time before they said, "Mother, you are really ...... dressed like this."
He really couldn't think of any words of praise, so he clenched his fists and thought hard for a long time, "It's fresh and refined." β
Jiang Wan was also satisfied with Gu Yu's reaction.
She copied her hands and walked into the Taichen Hall with Gu Yu, and above the main hall, the four big characters of Mingjing Xuanxin were shining in the morning light.
The inlaid golden dragon glows with dazzling light and is majestic. Gu Yu sat on the dragon chair and glanced at Jiang Wan on the side from time to time.
He sensed that today's queen mother was different, and it seemed that he was very angry?
It's rare to see her dressed up.
The palace bell struck three times, and Gu Yu's spirit was shaken, and he glanced at the courtiers below.
"Do you have something to do?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." A man with a long mustache and a sharp-looking look stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of investigating the case of Lord Gusu in Gusu City. β
"Now that the human and material evidence is there, it can be said that the evidence is conclusive, and I ask the emperor to decide."
Gu Yu frowned.
Sure enough, these people have nothing else to do when they go to court, except for the impeachment of Gusu City is the impeachment of Gusu City.
What kind of person Mr. Gusu is, he knows very clearly.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are also doing their best." Another minister stepped forward, "Now, Lord Gusu's affairs are full of ups and downs in the city, and the people are waiting for the emperor to give them justice." β
"Now Jingzhou City is full of complaints, and the Gusu adults are in a high position but despise the imperial court, do not share the worries of the people but ignore people's lives, and abuse their power."
"Your Majesty, for the sake of overall stability, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"Gusu City is not dead, and it is difficult for the people to be angry."
One by one, the officials stood up, and Gu Yu was a little overwhelmed.
He subconsciously looked at Jiang Wan behind the curtain.
Jiang Wan, as usual, was eating snacks and drinking tea, it seems, not concerned?
Gu Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet, "Regarding this matter, I feel that there are still some doubts......
"Your Majesty."
The sound of thunderous roar resounded in the main hall, this sound was too loud, and Gu Yu was startled. The one who opened his mouth was a military general, whose name was very interesting, Wu Jiang.
He is responsible for guarding the southwest direction, and he is also brave and good at fighting, using soldiers like gods, and he has a group of very strong troops under his command, with a bit of a strange name, called the Flying Wolf Regiment.
This man is very large, two meters tall, extremely strong, and his speech is earth-shattering.
"You, what's the matter?" Gu Yu shuddered.
"Presumptuous!" Seeing this, the eunuch beside Gu Yu hurriedly scolded, "General Wu, you are scaring the emperor." β
Wu Jiang was stunned and hurriedly gave up his hand, "Your Majesty, please forgive me." β
"Chen, I have always been in the southwest, and I don't know much about the affairs of Jingzhou City." His voice was rather coarse, and even if it was deliberately lowered, it was deafening.
"But, this time, the minister has to say two words." He arched his hand and made a salutation with a very large body, which looked a little funny.
"Who is Gusu City, the minister has not been in contact with it. However, the deceased's brother was a junior general in the army. When the teenager heard the news of his sister's tragic death, he was devastated. β
"The southwest is bitterly cold, wolves are overgrown, and the ministers and soldiers are born and die, guarding this country. But in the end, it was because of the dog officials who disregarded people's lives......"
"The minister has served the country all his life and guarded the frontier, but in the end he can't protect his family, which is a shame for the minister and the junior generals under the minister's command."
Wu Jiang kicked his eyes, "Wu Jiang, the governor of the southwest, implore the emperor to severely punish Gusu City, give an explanation to the ministers, and also to the majority of soldiers." β
Jiang Wan listened with her ears covered.
Wu Jiang is also a man who is kind-hearted.
Although he is a person from Zhou Gelao's side, he is a general with clear grievances, awe-inspiring righteousness, and loyalty to the country.
In his previous life, when Yu Chen declared a rebellion, his flying wolf group could be regarded as having made great contributions. Is the girl who died the sister of Wu Jiang's soldiers?
She clenched her hands, this matter was really premeditated and planned.
Once she can't give the corresponding result, Wu Jiang is very likely to defect.
Now, in addition to Yu Chenxuan, who is stationed in the north, there is probably only Wu Jiang stationed in the southwest who is loyal to the imperial court.
The person behind the scenes took advantage of Wu Jiang's clear temperament and pointed the fuse on him.
It's true, killing multiple birds with one stone.
"This ......" Gu Yu's little face was a little pale.
This man was so big and loud that his stomach was churning in the shock.
"You guys, do you think Gusu City is guilty?" Jiang Wan, who had been hiding behind and not speaking, suddenly spoke.
She opened the curtain and walked in front of Gu Yu so openly.
Gu Yu's pale face softened slightly.
The ministers didn't expect Jiang Wan to suddenly come out, and their eyes widened.
If eyes could kill, she would have died many times.
Jiang Wan didn't care.
Women can't interfere in the affairs of the court, but now, in the entire palace, no more than five fingers can be trusted, and she has to come forward.
"Queen Mother, this is not in accordance with the rules." Zhou Ge Lao squinted his eyes, "It's already unruly for the Queen Mother to listen to the government with the curtain down, how can she ...... now?"
"Mourning for the family." Jiang Wan went back directly.
"The mourners are listening behind the curtain, you are all one by one, what's the matter? Bullying the emperor died early? Bullying Gu Yu has no one to protect him? Bullying the mourning family is weak? β
"Gu Yu is still a child, you are all big men, you can be regarded as a powerful Quartet, persecuting a child, do you still want to have a face?"
She raised her voice, "Although the mourning family is a female streamer, it is Gu Yu's queen mother and today's queen mother, you dare to disturb the public and television so unscrupulously, do you think that the mourning family and the emperor's orphans and widows are easy to bully?" β
The ministers looked at each other.
This, this crazy woman, what the hell is going on?
Not to mention the ministers, even her biological father Jiang Xin was stunned.
He really didn't expect that his daughter would be able to do this kind of thing to directly compete with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces in the Taichen Palace.
His daughter, really......
It's teachable.
Jiang Wan walked down the high steps and walked in front of Wu Jiang.
She raised her head and stared at the mountain-like man in front of her, "Wu Jiang." β
"Yes." Wu Jiang was stunned.
"Are you embarrassed?" Jiang Wan said, "You are a general who is more than two meters tall, first scared the eight-year-old Gu Yu, and then shouted in the Taichen Hall with such a high voice, you have a loud voice, so you are shameless?" β
Wu Jiang's face turned red.
He is also a generation of heroes, hero-like figures, and when a woman continues to say this, he suddenly doesn't know how to react.
"It is the responsibility of a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, is it too naΓ―ve for you to threaten Gu Yu with this matter?"
Jiang Wan stared at him, "The mourning family knows that General Wu is righteous and bright, and it is impossible to do such a rebellious thing as persecuting the Son of Heaven." β
"But what you did just now is too easy to misunderstand."
"Minister......" Wu Jiang was originally red-faced.
Hearing Jiang Wan's words, the slightly swarthy face turned white.
Indeed, after Jiang Wan reminded him, he realized that just now, he was only concerned about being impassioned, but he forgot that this was not in the southwest, but in the main hall. He was indeed out of honor in the main hall.
"Minister, know your mistakes." He is also a big husband, knowing that he was a little too angry just now, he hurriedly knelt down and apologized,
"Your Majesty, the minister is a rough man, and he loses his honor in front of the palace, if he scares the emperor, the minister is willing to be punished."
"If you know that you can change your mistakes, you ......" Jiang Wan thought for a while, and couldn't remember how to say that.
It was not easy for her to say so many literate words in one breath, and now she finally revealed her true form.
She vaguely remembered that there was another sentence after knowing that she could correct her mistakes, but she couldn't think of what that sentence was at all.
So, she pretended to cough, "It's a good boy." β
Wu Jiang heard this sentence really well.
He opened his mouth, and the face of the two-meter-tall man turned red in an instant.
The phrase "good boy" overwhelmed him a little.
He stood there, his head bowed vigorously, ......and before he could finish speaking, he retreated back to his original position and stopped talking.
Jiang Wan sighed in her heart.
There is no such thing as culture, and it really follows you like a shadow.
Last night, she had been working on a draft in her mind for a long time, and sure enough, it was still in its original form.
Fortunately, this Wu Jiang has stopped.
A person like him, who has developed limbs and is simple-minded, if he is really used by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After appeasing Wu Jiang first, she had no worries.
It's not that she looks down on them, but, except for Wu Jiang, who is a little tricky, most of the people in the hall are garbage.
Jiang Wan just clasped his hands and walked back to the main hall, condescendingly, looking at them coldly.
"You guys, you all want to kill Gusu City and then hurry?"
The ministers looked at each other, they had just been scolded, and they were a little worried about this crazy woman.
