After all, Liu E failed to kill the Imperial Historian, nor did she defeat the officials who came out to die with the Imperial Doctor.

It's not that she can't do it, it's that the officials stop her from doing it.

Ding Wei even shouted out in the hall, "Is the Queen Mother going to cut herself off from Shilin?" ”

Liu E, who was annoyed and angry, was woken up by Ding Wei's words.

She realized what a foolish thing she had done to kill Dr. Goshi with a cane.

If she kills the Imperial Doctor with a rod today, someone will strike tomorrow.

In the future, among the people, her reputation will also become stinky.

The two words of the demon queen will also fall on her head steadily.

I wonder if there will be a grass king among the people, who rebelled and became the king under the banner of killing her.

After all, it is not very difficult to rebel in the Great Song Dynasty.

If a dozen people occupy a mountain, they can pull the flag and rebel, and by the way, they will be crowned kings.

Liu E clenched her fists, tried to restrain the anger in her heart, gritted her teeth and said, "The mourning family has lost its temper......"

Liu E is considered to be soft.

She is a person who is used to being strong, and it is unprecedented for her to be able to say this.

But Dr. Yu Shi and other officials did not mean to let her go.

The Imperial Doctor took a step forward, approached the bottom of the imperial steps, and shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother will either kill the old minister, or ask herself to cut off the back position." The old minister and the queen mother, only one person can stay in the vertical arch hall. ”

The other officials, following the footsteps of the Imperial Doctor, walked to the bottom of the imperial stairs, and said loudly: "The same is what the ministers mean. ”

Liu E was furious in her heart, but she didn't have any expression on her face, and she sat on the chair without saying a word.

She won't open her mouth and can't open her mouth.

She was soft just now, but instead of being tolerated by the Imperial Doctor and the officials, she made them threaten herself even more.

If she showed a little weakness, the Imperial Doctor and those officials would only kick her nose in the face and force her even more.

Liu E didn't speak.

The vertical arch hall suddenly reached a stalemate.

Ding Wei, Cao Yu and others had the intention to defend Liu E, but in the face of the momentum of the imperial historian and the officials who were not afraid of death, they could only avoid his edge.

The imperial historians and the officials will be cowardly when facing Kou Zhun.

Because no matter how difficult they are, if it spreads to the people, it will be said that it will be an official infighting and will not be able to gain a good reputation.

But in the face of the royal family, in the face of the queen mother, and in the face of the official family, they will not be cowardly.

Not only will they not be intimidated, but they are also ready to go to justice generously at any time.

As long as they are executed in the face of the royal family, Liu E, and the advice of the official family, then after the matter spreads, they will immediately become famous, and then become famous in history.

That's what they, who are officials, ask for.

Liu E, the Imperial Doctor and the officials, like bullfights, gasped for breath and glared at each other.

The hall was quiet, and the needles could be heard.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for Liu E to speak.

Liu E refused to speak.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the hall.

The officials on the vertical arch hall went out of the hall at the same time.

Kou Zhun frowned and scolded: "Who dares to ride a horse in the palace? Tired of being alive? ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier with a small flag on his back, armor and a blade, and three waist cards hanging on his waist, rode his horse to the front of the palace.

Under the gaze of the officials, he jumped off his horse, trotted into the hall, and said urgently: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang urgently, Huainan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, nearly six states, have fallen into a food shortage. Millions of people have been implicated. ”

The soldier took a sealed letter from behind his back and raised his hands to his chest.

When the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu heard this, he was startled.

Food shortages are not terrible, but what is terrible is the food shortages that are widely implicated.

The food shortage that implicates millions of people is a great disaster, and if it is not handled properly, some people will certainly take the opportunity to cause chaos and rebellion.

"Hurry up!"

Kou Zhun realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately asked the eunuch to fetch the letter.

Li Di didn't care to wait for the eunuch to walk in front of the soldier with small steps, he took the first step, ran to the soldier, grabbed the letterbox in his hand, and sent it to Kou Zhun with the letterbox.

After Li Di took the letter box from the soldier's hand, the soldier's head tilted and he fainted on the ground.

In order to pass on the disaster of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations to the imperial court in time, he has not rested for several days and nights.

Now that the letter was in the hands of the imperial court, he was relieved and naturally fainted.

The Manchu civil and military forces were not surprised by this.

The soldiers who deliver urgent documents on weekdays are mostly in this situation after they arrive at the court.

In order not to delay the political affairs of the imperial court, most of them are desperately on the road.

Xiang Minzhong waved his hand to the guards outside the hall and said, "Help him go down to rest, and the imperial doctor will treat him well." ”

The guards outside the hall entered the hall and carried the messengers out of the vertical arch hall.

Li Di took the letterbox to Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun checked the fire paint on the letterbox, and after confirming that no one had touched it, he slowly opened the fire paint and took out the documents inside.

After Kou Zhun carefully read the contents of the document, his old face was covered with frost, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

He didn't say a word, and handed the paperwork to Li Di casually.

After Li Di read it, he looked horrified.

Seeing this, Xiang Minzhong and Ding Wei hurriedly stepped forward, came to Li Di's side, and stretched out their heads to read the paperwork.

After reading the document at a glance, Xiang Minzhong exclaimed, "So serious? ”

The document mentions that in the first generation of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huainan, nearly eight prefectures, there was a grain shortage, and the grain prices in the eight prefectures soared all the way, far exceeding the grain prices of Bianjing City several times.

The people couldn't afford to eat food, so they were eating tree roots, gnawing tree bark, and eating Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger.

What's more, it is easy to eat.

In the land of Huainan, there are even people who rebel by virtue of the grain shortage, and in just seven days, more than 10,000 people have gathered, and they are looting large households in Huainan and other places.

After Xiang Minzhong and Ding Wei read the document, it was quickly passed to the hands of the hundred officials.

The officials also didn't care about etiquette, and gathered together to watch the documents.

After a while, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew about the food shortage in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huainan and other places.

The document finally fell into Wang Zeng's hands, Wang Zeng pinched the paperwork, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Chen had received a report of a generation of grain shortages in Huainan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it was not serious at that time. Lao Chen checked the annual harvest of this year's Huainan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations, and found that the Huainan and Jiangsu-Zhejiang generations did not lack harvest this year, so he thought that some profiteers took the opportunity to hoard some grain and grass and wanted to take the opportunity to make profits.

Now it seems that the old minister is thinking badly.

The old minister is guilty, please punish the official. ”

Kou Zhun had a gloomy face, waved his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, there have always been signs before the food shortage, either natural disasters or man-made disasters." But this time, Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations had a food shortage, but there was no sign. It's understandable that you didn't check it for a while.

Moreover, farming is not in your hands, and you are not responsible for it. ”

Xiang Minzhong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "There has always been a food shortage, either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, Huainan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang generations, obviously there is no shortage of harvest, but there is a food shortage for no reason, there must be a reason behind it, and it needs to be carefully investigated." ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly, and said: "You and Wang Zeng are responsible for investigating this matter, once you find out that there is someone behind the trouble, you will not be spared." ”

Ding Wei took this opportunity to help Liu E break the siege.

He scolded the imperial historian and the officials standing at the foot of the imperial stairs: "Don't you retreat? Now is not the time to wait for nonsense. ”

Doctor Yu Shi craned his neck and snorted coldly: "Nonsense? Why have I been messing around? First, there were frost disasters in Sichuan and Shu, and then Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations had food shortages for no reason. It must be that there are demons in the court and the country is evil, and the heavens have sent disasters one after another.

If the demons are not peaceful, the country will be difficult to peace, and the people will not be peaceful. ”

The demon in the mouth of the imperial doctor pointed directly at Liu E.

Liu E trembled angrily, but she was not good at speaking.

Ding Wei said angrily: "State affairs are important! ”

Doctor Yu Shi said disdainfully: "Could it be that the demon is not a state affair?" ”

Ding Wei flicked his sleeves angrily and stepped aside.

Liu E gritted her teeth, stared at Kou Zhun, and said in a deep voice: "Does the Taishi plan to embarrass the mourning family?" ”

Kou Zhun frowned, and his gaze fell on the Imperial Doctor and the others, "What do you want?" ”

Doctor Yu Shi arched his hand and said loudly: "Please remove the queen mother." ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly, looked at Liu E, and said, "What does the Queen Mother want?" ”

Liu E said coldly: "The throne of the mourning family was determined by the first emperor, how can you go if you want to." ”

Kou Zhun frowned and did not speak.

Liu E continued: "The reason why the first emperor allowed the Ai family to take the throne and the right to be the regent of the Xu Ai family was to prevent someone from bullying our orphans and widows while the official family was young.

Now that the bones of the first emperor are not cold, you are persecuting the mourning family like this, are you worthy of the first emperor?

If the mourners are persecuted by you today, please remove the posterior.

Tomorrow, if you are not satisfied with the official family, will you use the same way to force the official family to give up the throne?

Therefore, you can call the mourning family demon or the demon queen.

The mourning family will not retreat a step. ”

When the Manchu Dynasty civil and military heard this, their faces changed in unison.

The faces of the Imperial Doctor and the others also became very ugly.

They didn't expect that Liu E would actually move out of Zhao Zhen as a shield.

forced the official family to give up the throne, and no one dared to take such a big hat when he buttoned it down.

Doctor Yu Shi stubbornly said: "The old minister and others are loyal to the official family, and they have no two hearts. ”

Kou Zhun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother's words are serious, the old man and the others, as Song Chen, should do their best and be loyal to the official family. ”

Liu E said indignantly: "What you are doing today is being loyal to the official family?" ”

Kou Zhun reminded in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother's words are too heavy, and the old ministers and others can't afford it." If the queen mother thinks that the old minister and others have a disobedient heart, although she points it out, the old minister and the others will inevitably take off their official uniforms, take off their official hats, and hang their seals and leave. ”

Kou Zhun's voice landed, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

"Puff~"

Liu E sat down on the chair, her face pale.

Liu E wanted to point at Kou Zhun, at Li Di, at all the people who were against her, and shouted.

You are all unsubservient people.

But she didn't dare.

If she really shouted.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will leave with their sleeves brushed away.

At that time, not to mention that she cut herself to the back position, even if she went to the door one by one to beg people to come back, she might not be able to invite the Manchu civil and military forces back.

Good ministers choose the Lord to serve.

Not all officials can be like Li Di, even if they are very disappointed in Zhao Heng and have made up their minds, they can reappear in the court when the court needs it.

Western Xia and Liao, for these officials in the Great Song Dynasty, have always maintained a state of thirst for talent.

In recent years, he has been very disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are not a few officials who have betrayed the Great Song Dynasty.

Liu E finally relented.

In the way that the officials almost forced the palace, they softened.

She is not a man, nor is she an official, so she can't show the domineering that an emperor can show.

There is no way to make the officials willingly submit to her feet.

Naturally, there is no way to deal with hundreds of officials ruthlessly.

"The mourning family will not eliminate the rear position, the mourning family must keep the rear position, protect the official family, and the rest will follow you."

After Liu E said this, she seemed to be drained of strength, she waved her hand to Guo Huai, and with Guo Huai's support, she left the vertical arch hall in despair.

Leaving hundreds of officials behind, looking at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Xiang Minzhong, Ding Wei, Li Di, Wang Qinruo and other important ministers, their eyes suddenly fell on Kou Zhun.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and only Kou Zhun was qualified to take action against Liu E.

Doctor Yushi immediately bowed his hand to Kou Zhun and said: "How to deal with the Queen Mother, please ask the Master to decide." ”

The power to dispose of Liu E fell into the hands of Kou Zhun, but Kou Zhun was not easy to decide.

If the disposal is heavy, others will definitely talk behind their backs, saying that Kou Zhun has two hearts.

The disposal was light, and the officials did not agree.

Kou Zhun is also in a dilemma.

Kou Ji had the heart to interject, but found that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were looking at Kou Zhun, and he was interjecting now, which was a little out of place.

Seeing that the corners of Kou Zhun's mouth twitched, Kou Ji's eyes rolled, and his eyes fell on Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair blankly as a melon eater.

In an instant, he had an idea.

Immediately, he reached out his hand, touched his head, and patted himself on the shoulder.

Zhao Zhen was naturally attracted by Kou Ji's strange behavior.

He saw Kou Ji touching his head and patting his shoulder again, looking dazed.

Chen Lin also saw Kou Ji's strange behavior.

Chen Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment, understanding Kou Ji's intentions.

Kou Ji patted Zhao Zhen's head for the first time and Zhao Zhen on the shoulder for the first time, all in one place.

Chen Lin came to Zhao Zhen's side and whispered three words.

Zhao Zhen blurted out, "Shishitang?!" ”

Kou Zhun's eyes lit up suddenly.

He arched his hand at Zhao Zhen and said loudly: "The official family is reasonable, and the old minister obeys the order." ”

Subsequently, under Zhao Zhen's ignorance, Kou Zhun faced the hundred officials and said loudly: "The matter of the Queen Mother, the official family has been decided. The official family decreed that the Empress Dowager Liu E withdrew from the Vertical Arch Palace, sat in the Shishitang, and later exercised the power of the general regent in the Shishitang. ”

Under Zhao Zhen's reminder, Kou Zhun thought of this way to deal with Liu E, and then borrowed Zhao Zhen's intention to announce it to the hundred officials.

Although this move did not remove Liu E's posterior, it did not even reduce the power in Liu E's hands.

But for Liu E, it is equivalent to returning to the pre-liberation period overnight.

returned to the time when Zhao Heng was still alive, and returned to the time when Zhao Heng was sick on the couch.
