Chapter 1941: Gambling on Life
In fact, this time, Wu Meiniang's reaction was quite slow, she didn't expect at first that this sudden fire would burn her head, and it was a special 'door' to burn her alone, and even to burn her to death, she still wanted to try to alleviate the crisis at first and not cause too much damage, but she just went for political achievements. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
But Wu Meiniang is Wu Meiniang after all, as soon as this statement came out, she keenly felt that she was about to be in trouble, she had so many enemies, of course she knew that with this wind, someone would definitely take advantage of the situation to ignite the fire, and the only thing she could rely on at present was not Li Zhi, but Han Yi.
Because although Li Zhi has great power, Li Zhi has no way to resist natural disasters, which can only rely on Han Yi.
Han Yi also expected that Wu Meiniang would definitely come to him, so he went to Beixiang to throw himself into the net.
Three watches.
Han Yi and Ono quietly came to Cao Xiu's mansion in the southern suburbs at night.
It's still the same as last time, Han Yi went in alone, and Ono and Cao Xiu waited outside.
When I came to the back hall, I saw a nun sitting in the back hall, the loose monk's robe could not hide the plump figure, the white skin was ruddy, and it looked extremely delicate and charming, this is not who Wu Meiniang is.
Han Yi didn't salute either, sat down directly, and said with a smile: "Empress, I can still understand that you came out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace last time and pretended to be a nun, but there is no need to pretend to be a nun every time, right?" Sooner or later, someone will see through it. "I thought, it's always a uniform, it's too unfresh!
Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Mother, I just invited a few teachers to come to the house today to discuss Buddhism. β
"I see."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Then I have no opinion, in fact, I'm just worried that someone will find out, not for the queen's appearance, if we die on this, then I really don't know who to cry with." β
Wu Meiniang listened to him talk endlessly, squinted at Han Yi, and said, "You should know why I'm in a hurry to see you." β
Han Yi laughed and said, "Queen, you are really going to be in trouble this time!" β
The tone was full of schadenfreude.
The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth lifted and said, "If a big disaster is coming, then what you do will be in vain." β
Han Yi sighed and said: "I can't help it, if it is a man-made thing, I will naturally do my best to protect the queen, but this time God has made a move, no matter how capable I am Han Yi, I am not God's opponent, don't forget, I have been struck by lightning, I believe in this thing." β
Do you believe you still say this thing? Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Maybe in the eyes of others, I am only afraid that this time I am afraid that a big disaster is coming, but I think this is also an opportunity for me." As you often say, benefits always come with risks, and vice versa. β
Han Yi's eyes flashed with praise, but he said, "Oh? What do you mean by that? β
Wu Meiniang said: "Those Confucian scholars blamed me for all the natural disasters, and even God lifted them out, but if I can turn the tide and remedy all this, it doesn't also prove that I have been approved by God." β
"That makes sense!" Han Yi 'excitedly' said: "Isn't it that the queen has a way, if it is really feasible, I am willing to take the lead for the queen!" β
"I can't help it!"
Wu Meiniang said very directly.
Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "You have no choice, you still say that?" β
Wu Meiniang smiled: "That's why I came to you." β
Han Yi said: "Queen, this is a plague of locusts!" What can I do. β
Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Locusts can eat food, but they can't eat people, in the final analysis, it is still a food problem, if there is enough food, then there is no problem, this is what you are best at." β
Han Yi glanced at Wu Meiniang, suddenly laughed, and said: "The queen can still be in danger and not 'messy', Han Yi is really impressed!" β
Wu Meiniang smiled: "It's all because of you." β
"Oops! I'm so scared! β
After saying that, Han Yi's face suddenly changed, and he said: "But the queen is right, this is really God giving a chance!" β
Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed with joy.
She is actually pretending, and she is not completely sure, after all, this is a natural disaster, in ancient times, in the face of natural disasters, then there is only a share of bearing, this matter has become like this, if the loss is significant, then Li Zhi can only find her as a scapegoat to calm the people's anger, because Shangguan Yi will definitely put all the blame on her head, and there is no way to find evidence that this matter is not because of her, this queen must not be able to do it, so don't look at this thing came very suddenly, but it is really fatal.
Han Yi said: "Just a few hours ago, Shangguan Yi asked His Majesty to depose you, and I didn't say anything at the time, because the bigger the trouble, the more beneficial it will be to the queen." Think about it, our purpose is for you to inherit the unification, and then Confucianism will definitely be the most 'fierce' opposition, just like now, if this time the queen can prove that those Confucian scholars are wrong, and almost delayed the disaster, then you can use this to severely damage the credibility of Confucianism, and enhance the queen's status in the hearts of the people, the queen will take this natural disaster as a political show, in one fell swoop to establish her own status, and lay the foundation for the future. β
Wu Meiniang was slightly 'excited' and said: "Then what should I do?" β
Han Yi said: "Immediately play Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty 'entrust' you with full authority for the rescue." β
Wu Meiniang said: "How can I get Your Majesty to 'entrust' me with full responsibility for this matter?" β
Han Yi said with a smile: "It's very simple, Shangguan Yi and they don't insist that this is because of you, of course you can't admit it, no one can come up with evidence for this, the only way is for you to personally stop the spread of the disaster." Of course, if you can't stop it, whether you go or not, you have to finish, you have no way out, in this case, it is better to hold your fate in your own hands. β
Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile and said, "You still see it thoroughly!" β
"It's not thorough, in fact, even if I don't say it, you can think of it, queen." Han Yi smiled faintly and said, "After getting His Majesty's permission, I will go to the disaster area in person." β
Wu Meiniang was surprised: "Go to the disaster area in person? β
Han Yi smiled: "What is the queen afraid of?" β
The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth lifted and said, "Do I still have room to be afraid?" It's just that I don't know why you made me do this? β
Han Yi said: "Since ancient times, natural disasters have occurred, unless they happen to happen in the land of Beijing, otherwise, the emperor will not go to the disaster area to inspect the disaster, let alone the queen, I told the queen you a long time ago, Queen Dugu and Queen Changsun have achieved the ultimate in the virtuous queen, and if the queen wants to get more, she must first surpass them, how to surpass, take the people-friendly route that they have not walked, when the queen you directly face the people, share the hardships with the people, and save the people from fire and water, Then the queen will leave a very deep impression in the hearts of the people, which will be of great help. β
Wu Meiniang said: "But all this must be based on successfully preventing the disaster. β
Han Yi smiled and said: "Didn't the queen say it too, this is what I am best at, I will help the queen solve these problems, but this has to hurry, there is not much time left for us, if the locust plague spreads too badly, then I am helpless." β
Wu Meiniang finally picked up the cup of tea that had not been moved and had cooled, took a sip, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew stronger.
Those who want to achieve great things must do something earth-shattering.
.....
Following. Palace.
Li Zhi has a headache now, although the spearhead has not yet pointed at him, but the problem is that he asked Wu Meiniang to come out to preside over government affairs, and now the government and the opposition are discussing this matter, if he does not make changes, if the disaster really expands and causes very serious damage, then the people will blame him, after the ministers persuaded you to abolish it, you insisted on not abolishing it, and it turned out like this, so what is the difference between you and King Zhou You?
Don't look at the history books, the generals Daji and Bao Xi scolded them bloody, but King Su and King Zhou You are also representatives of the faint monarch, which complements each other.
Whether he believes it or not, he has to take action, because the political consequences of this will also have a great impact on him, and the current disaster cannot be predicted or stopped, and he does not dare to gamble on it.
"It seems that for the sake of the future, if you want to keep the queen, you can only let her return to the harem."
Li Zhi sighed and muttered to himself.
This is said to be a plan for the present, in fact, it is an expedient measure, first remove the queen from her position, and then see, if it really expands, then you can only abandon the car to protect the handsome, the people and the minister are of the same mind, then the emperor can only conform to the will of the people, it is impossible to go against the sky, someone must pay for this, now everyone is pointing the finger at Wu Meiniang, and in the Manchu Dynasty, no one dares to be ordered in danger, and if you want to find a scapegoat, you can't find it.
At this moment, Zhang Desheng suddenly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is here." β
When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, at this time, he really didn't want to see Wu Meiniang, he felt that it was very embarrassing, he couldn't say that he blamed Wu Meiniang, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Please come in." β
After a while, I saw Wu Meiniang walk in and said, "The concubine sees Your Majesty." β
"Queen, excuse me."
Li Zhi asked absentmindedly: "I heard that the queen went out of the palace?" β
Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "My mother is a little unwell, so the concubine went out of the palace to visit." β
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Mother is in good health, but the imperial doctor can go to diagnose and treat it." β
Wu Meiniang hesitated.
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Could it be that my mother's condition is very serious? β
Wu Meiniang shook her head lightly and said, "It's just that this is all because of me, an unfilial 'daughter', and my mother is worried about me, so I fell ill." β
As soon as Li Zhi opened his mouth, he suddenly understood, he didn't have to think about it, and he knew that the Yang family was sick because he was in a hurry, and when it came to his mouth, he immediately took it back.
Wu Meiniang suddenly 'agitated' and said: "The concubine has caused His Majesty and Mother to hurt the gods for the concubine, and the concubine is really disloyal and unfilial!" β
Li Zhi sighed: "I know that I can't blame you for this, it's just ......." β
He was a little hard to say.
Wu Meiniang suddenly raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, although the locust plague has nothing to do with the concubines, the affairs of the court and the central government are all caused by the concubines, and the concubines are willing to bear it with all their might, and they dare not worry Your Majesty." β
Li Zhi said: "That's not necessary, so let's go back to the harem first to avoid the limelight, and don't come forward to deal with government affairs for the time being." β
Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, if you do this, it will undoubtedly tell the people of the world that the concubine is an ominous person, and how can the concubine still have the face to live in this world." β
Li Zhi was stunned, didn't you say that you would bear it yourself? I still won't let you bear it, and asked, "Then I don't know what the queen is going to do?" β
Wu Meiniang said: "The concubine hopes to be able to go to the disaster area in person to provide relief. β
Li Zhi exclaimed: "How can this be done, this is too dangerous." β
Now the people of Chang'an are talking about it, the local people are likely to hate you to the bone, and you still run there, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and the hungry people are crazy, and they dare to rebel, and they still care that you are the queen?
Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, only by letting the concubine face it in person and stop the spread of the disaster can the concubine be innocent." β
Li Zhi was pleasantly surprised: "Do you have a way to prevent disasters?" β
Wu Meiniang said: "There are no concubines, but as long as Your Majesty 'handes' this matter to the concubines, there will be people who will give advice to the concubines." β
Li Zhi was stunned and said: "What did the queen say?" β
Wu Meiniang said: "I heard that in the Manchu Dynasty, no one has offered advice so far, how to resist natural disasters, I don't know if it?" β
Li Zhi nodded, and sighed again: "This natural disaster cannot be stopped by manpower!" β
"In the eyes of the concubines, this is not the case."
Wu Meiniang said: "It's not that they have no way, but they are not completely sure, plus the Manchu Dynasty civil and military blamed the matter on the concubines, and those scholars insisted that as long as the concubines were abolished, the disaster would naturally be alleviated." If they say that the disaster can be prevented, that is, this matter has nothing to do with the concubines, but if they don't stop it, they must be unable to protect themselves, and if they are not completely sure, they will naturally not make a noise. But if His Majesty 'handed' this matter to the concubines to deal with it with full authority, and if there is anything, the concubines will bear it, then those who have the means will naturally give advice to the concubines, they are just doing their duty, even if they do not prevent the crisis, it is up to the concubines to bear it. β
"The queen has a point." Li Zhi nodded slightly, feeling that it was really possible to come up with a way to do this, and said: "But in this way, if you are a little careless, you ......." β
Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, this matter has affected Your Majesty and Mother, and besides, people outside are so slanderous about the concubine, the concubine is now better than dead, if you can't return the concubine's innocence, the concubine would rather die than live with everything, and please ask Your Majesty to promise the concubine." β
With that, she knelt down directly.
Li Zhi hurriedly got up, helped Wu Meiniang up, and sighed: "If I don't agree to you, even if I agree, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree." β
Wu Meiniang said: "The concubine is willing to live and die, if you can't stop the spread of the disaster, no matter how Your Majesty wants to deal with the concubine, the concubine has no complaints." β
This is actually gambling on her life, but she has no choice, if it continues like this, and there is no way to prevent the spread of the disaster, she still has to be the scapegoat, because everyone has reached a consensus, this natural disaster is because of her, the key is that this is too coincidental, since Yonghui to now, there have been several natural disasters, there are many small disasters, some places have poor food harvest, the Central Plains is so big, this is normal, the biggest two crises, Wu Meiniang has caught up.
Li Zhi struggled for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
