Cao Zhengchun left the Hall of Eternal Life to prepare for the establishment of the East Factory.

Before leaving, Li Ci gave a token.

Anyone who dares to block, Cao Zhengchun can cut first and then play with the token.

This kind of power is not insignificant.

The emperors of the past dynasties, no matter how mediocre and incompetent, would not give this token at will.

This represents unreserved trust.

In the royal family, even father and son cannot achieve this level of trust.

But Cao Zhengchun is different.

Cao Zhengchun is a strong man summoned by Li Ci from the heavens and ten thousand worlds, and he is absolutely loyal to Li Ci.

In order to facilitate the establishment of the East Factory as soon as possible, Li Ci could only do this.

After the Anshi Rebellion, many aspects of Datang are now out of Li Xi's control.

Li Ci must completely control the court in the shortest possible time so that the next plan can be implemented.

The next day.

Li Ci was reviewing the folds when he saw a little eunuch bowing down and walking towards Li Ci.

"Your Majesty, this is what Lord Cao asked me to hand over to you!" The little eunuch lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Li Xi.

"Lord Cao?"

Li Ci took a few notes from the little eunuch's hand.

The paper was densely packed with words.

Li Ci swept away.

"Hubu Shangshu retired from the dynasty and returned home, and sighed in the study, Your Majesty is diligent, and the Tang Dynasty has been saved..."

"The secretary of the military department and the ministers of the court gathered in the Moon Tower, held a feast, drank and had fun. ”

"Prime Minister Yuan Zai received a landscape painting from the former dynasty and was overjoyed..."

...

Li Ci looked at the information on the note that was detailed to the limit and nodded slightly.

Cao Zhengchun really didn't disappoint him.

In fact, Datang also has its own intelligence agency.

It's just that these intelligence agencies are very scattered and useless.

Li Ci handed over these intelligence agencies to Cao Zhengchun.

And Cao Zhengchun, in just one day, completely controlled these intelligence agencies, which was unexpected by Li Xi.

However, Li Ci thought about it, in the world of 'No. 1 in the world', Cao Zhengchun was originally an expert in this area.

Now that he is back in his old business, he is naturally handy.

"I don't know what kind of situation it will be like when the secret agents of the East Factory are all over the world. ”

Li Ci thought while looking at the note.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Li Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the information on the last note.

"Several masters of Chongsheng Palace left Chongsheng Palace and went to Yong'an Palace to meet the Queen Mother secretly. ”

The Chongsheng Palace was built in the depths of the imperial palace.

It was inhabited by the concubines of the previous emperors.

There is a tradition in the Tang Dynasty that after the death of the previous emperor, all his concubines cut their hair and entered the Chongsheng Palace to pray for the blessings of the first emperor and the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this does not include Li Ci's mother.

Li Xi ascended the throne as the emperor, and his mother was naturally the queen mother of the dynasty and lived in Yong'an Palace.

"Those brothers of mine, can't you bear it anymore?"

Li Ci sneered.

Yesterday in the early dynasty, Li Xi ordered several princes of the Tang Dynasty to go to Shu and give an explanation to the people of Shu.

Now that the people of Shu are struggling to make a living, and the plague is rampant, whether they can come back safely depends on their creation.

It was only one day, and the mothers of these princes secretly came out of the Chongsheng Palace to plead with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is Li Xi's mother.

If they can move the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will come forward to persuade Li Xi.

Even Li Ci had to reconsider this matter.

"Someone!"

Li Xi closed the note and stood up from the throne of the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty. ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard, dressed in gold armor, walked in.

"Follow me to Yong'an Palace. ”

"I miss my mother a little!"

...

Yong'an Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the main seat and looked at several figures kneeling on the ground.

"Sisters, why are you doing this?"

"If there's something, just say it. ”

"If I can help, I will help. ”

The Queen Mother said helplessly.

"Sister, you must be the master for me this time. The first woman in a moon-white plain dress burst into tears.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty yesterday, in the early dynasty, ordered Wang Er to go to Shu to preside over the disaster relief. ”

"But in that place of Shudi, what is the situation now, what will happen, who knows?"

"I dare to ask my sister to go back and persuade Your Majesty, those few are Your Majesty's brothers after all. ”

"Can't be so ruthless!"

The leader pleaded.

When the Queen Mother heard these words, she frowned: "You mean, let me stop Your Majesty?"

When several women heard this, they lowered their heads in unison: "Please sister make the decision for us." ”

The Queen Mother did not speak.

She looked at the figures kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed.

After a long time.

"Someone. ”

The Queen Mother spoke slowly.

"Fifty strokes for one man!"

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment and ordered.

"Yes!"

Dozens of eunuchs walked in and dragged out several kneeling women.

Suddenly!

There was a scream outside the main hall.

Half an hour later.

The eunuch brought the women in.

"Do you know why I did that?" the queen looked at the others expressionlessly.

"I'll wait..."

"I don't know..."

The woman in the lead was pale and there was no trace of blood.

Obviously, the fifty canes of punishment made her vitality very bad.

The Queen Mother sighed lightly: "In this world, only His Majesty can make a decision." ”

"You can't disobey Your Majesty, and neither can I. ”

"There is no one in the world who can disobey Your Majesty. ”

"No one cares about the little calculation in your heart, as long as you do what you are told and obediently stay in the Chongsheng Palace to pray for blessings, no one will trouble you. ”

"You just need to remember that Your Majesty is my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the master of this world, even if Your Majesty asks you to die, you have to die willingly. ”

"These fifty rods are to tell you to know where you are. ”

"Be clear about Your Majesty's position. ”

"Now, do you understand?"

The Queen Mother said slowly.

"Yes. Several women took a deep breath and said in a trance.

They never dreamed that they would find the Queen Mother to intercede with the Queen Mother nine times out of ten, but it would be this kind of ending.

"Alright. ”

"Anything else?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said.

Several women glanced at each other: "I'll be fine." ”

"Then let's go back to the Holy Palace. ”

"Today's incident, I will not pretend that it has not happened, and I will not be in front of His Majesty, but if there is a second time, I can't guarantee it. Not long after Your Majesty ascended the throne, I have a lot of business in the Tang Dynasty, who dares to anger Your Majesty at this time, even if he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is useless. ”

"Remember, the emperor is the king, and we are all courtiers, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. ”

The Queen Mother finally warned again.

These people have some friendship with her after all, otherwise they wouldn't have asked for this.

Therefore, the Queen Mother doesn't want to see any bad endings for them.

Just as the Queen Mother's voice fell.

A eunuch ran in in a panic.

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, Your Majesty is coming to Yong'an Palace!"
