Ctesiphon.

The streets full of Persian style and ancient charm are a little more lively, although there are still more soldiers walking back and forth, and the luxurious Sassanid Palace has also faded the dust and decay of history during the Arab occupation under the repair of countless skilled craftsmen, and the bright glazed tiles show a kind of golden color of the dynasty under the reflection of the sun.

Completely different from the lazy politics of Sassanid Persia, the power of the Great Min is highly centralized, and every state and county has countless important events to report every day.

Fengge is the decision-making body, and the prime minister here will mark these major events into categories and deal with them, and then transfer them to Luantai.

Luantai and Datang Menxia Province have the same functions, they are both executive agencies, urging the specific implementation of the things handled by Fengge, the power of the executive agency can be large enough, and even in Datang, Menxia Province still has the right to refute the holy decree, the prime ministers can't talk about it, and the emperor's holy decree can't be issued, but in Damin, the prime minister of Luantai doesn't have so much power, because he has strong financial and material resources in his hands, when necessary, Li Jie can even bypass the imperial court, and the prime ministers can't say it.

Of course, there are some major military affairs that the prime ministers can't handle, so they have to be transferred to the emperor, and the central government office where Fengge Luantai is located will be transferred to the imperial study.

At this time, it was not Li Jie who was sitting in the imperial study, but Wu Meiniang, who was sitting in this chair instead of him, wearing a crown of nine phoenixes and a dark skirt of purple gold.

However, the distribution of rights, Li Jie is very ingenious, although Wu Meiniang is in power, but in the forbidden palace, her words can't move a soldier, and the transfer of more than ten eunuchs in the palace requires the approval of the queen's eldest grandson weaving, it seems that the power is overwhelming, many times Wu Meiniang is like a tiger in a cage, and can only be majestic to the outside.

On the one hand, there is an explanation for the main palace, on the other hand, it is also a guarantee of rights, Wu Meiniang herself also knows such subtlety, so she never touches the slightest right in the palace, in exchange for Li Jie's unreserved trust.

She's always done well.

The recent series of wars has proved Wu Meiniang's political skill, Li Jie and Li Ji in the West are still fighting with enemies on both sides, and in the east, the more troublesome and tricky Arab riots in the territory have been suppressed for more than half of them, and they are both powerful and powerful, either through collusion with the Shiite elders who translated the classics in Ctesiphon, or the commander army is invincible, and almost seventy or eighty thousand Arabs who have rebelled have laid down their arms, and some have turned around and fought with the die-hard pro-Hussein tribes.

The twists and turns of the military department are all expedited with red notes, every time they are processed, Wu Meiniang also deals with these first, in one morning, hundreds of folds have been reviewed, even if a strong woman is like Wu Zetian, she can't help but take a breath, rest for a while, and then pick up the last red note on the table.

Just looked at the cover, Wu Meiniang's good-looking Dai Mei couldn't help but wrinkle, from the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate!

Regarding Li Rang's plan, Li Jie has already revealed it to Wu Meiniang, so when Li Rang came to ask for reinforcements a month ago, Wu Meiniang refused without hesitation, and she couldn't even solve this dilemma, how to pick the key points in the future?

However, now that Mesopotamia has relieved herself, and looking at Li Rang's twists and turns, Wu Meiniang is still a little worried, after all, if Li Rang really loses the Arabian Peninsula, it will also be a problem for the next strategy of Damin.

With a slightly heavy heart, Wu Meiniang opened the fold, but before she could look at it at a glance, the door of the imperial study was slammed open.

"County Lord! You can't enter, county lord! The mother will be to blame! ”

More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids were about to cry, but Li Chenxi was like a crazy female leopard, ignoring it at all, and broke in on a rampage.

I have never seen her daughter so arrogant and tough, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but pick at the corner of her eyes, and then gently knocked on the table, it was such a few crisp sounds that you couldn't hear if you didn't pay attention, but as if there was magic, it suddenly quieted the noisy hall reads.

"Mother, Song Jing is wronged! Brother Rang is a fool who wronged a good person, and he can't kill him!! ”

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down one after another, and Li Chenxi, who finally broke out of a road, lay on the table and said anxiously regardless of it, Wu Meiniang, who listened to it, couldn't help frowning, and immediately waved her hand downward.

"Stand down, all of you!"

The secrets of the royal family, but not the more you know, the better, the more you see, the faster you can die, a group of palace maids and eunuchs suddenly kowtowed and withdrew, and when they left, they also closed the door, leaving the huge and spacious imperial study to her mother and daughter.

"Look at you, what kind of system you have become, where is a little royal majesty, what is the difference between you and the wild girl of the husband's house in the countryside outside!"

didn't bother to ask about things, Wu Meiniang first reprimanded with some annoyance, if in the past, Li Chenxi would have been trembling and pleading guilty at this time, but today it seems that she is really in a hurry, the beads of sweat have washed the little gold cinnabar in the center of her forehead, lying on the table, Li Chenxi is still so anxiously roaring.

"Mother, let my brother kill Song Jing, Song Jing is really wronged, please forgive him!!"

"For so many years, I have never asked you for anything, just this time, please! Please help me for a moment! ”

Looking at Li Chenxi's pitiful appearance, Wu Meiniang's heart couldn't help but be touched.

There must be a gain and a loss, for the sake of her own ambitions over the years, proving that women are not necessarily inferior to men, Wu Meiniang has devoted herself to political affairs, and she is busy with her career, so she must have neglected her family, Li Chenxi was raised by Hou Xianniang almost when she was a child.

When Li Chenxi was a little older, Wu Meiniang could be regarded as remembering some of the obligations of being a mother, and the communication between the two went wrong again, with the habit of the superior, caring for her daughter, Wu Meiniang was all commanding, and the impression left on Li Chenxi became a cold, blunt, and power-hungry stranger again.

But after all, people's hearts are made of meat, and listening to her daughter's pleading, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but feel compassion.

"Song Jing? Is it the fat man who didn't do his job properly when you ran to mess around, one of the two wild boys you knew? ”

At this time, he couldn't care about correcting it, Li Chenxi hurriedly nodded his little brain like a waterwheel: "Yes, yes, yes, it's him!"

"Song Jing obviously made war exploits, but a villain framed him and asked his mother to save his life!"

I have the impression that Song Jing is just a captain-level officer, and there are many things to steal merit in the army, even if Song Jing is really wrong, what big deal can a school captain have? opened her mouth, Wu Meiniang wanted to agree.

But after all, she was the Iron Lady, the words were in her mouth, but she swallowed them again, stretched out her hand and opened Li Rang's recital, standing aside, Li Chenxi's sweaty cheeks were full of worry, and she was worried and expectant to accompany her.

After turning a few pages, Wu Meiniang's face quickly became gloomy, and she immediately shook her head solemnly.

"No, this Song Jing must not be pardoned!"

"Why!"

Hope was shattered all of a sudden, Li Chenxi couldn't help but be angry, and roared in annoyance: "Is it fair that the defeat of the golden acacia does not pursue the matter of the straw bag of the main general Li Chou, but kills him a little Sima?" Mother, why have you become so stupid!! ”

"Presumptuous reads;!"

Her face was gloomy all of a sudden, and Wu Meiniang slapped the table in annoyance, so cold that Li Chenxi trembled violently again, but in just a moment, she did not show weakness and glared back with great indignation.

Looking at the fire burning in her daughter's eyes, Wu Meiniang's anger dissipated most of it, and she couldn't help but sigh and explained it for the first time.

"No matter how straw Li Chou is, he is also a clan, and now is the critical moment for your father to conquer the Arab barbarians, and the clan cannot be wrong at this time!"

"His mistake Song Jing is wrong in a little Sima, he doesn't keep his duty, he has to be in the limelight! It is not a pity for such a restless person to die, and there must be an explanation for the defeat of the acacia, and this person must die! ”

Seeing the despair on Li Chenxi's cheeks, Wu Meiniang shook her head softly, and persuaded with a sigh: "It's not a pity that he died as a Song Jing, don't you still know a Yao Chong?" It's a big deal to transfer him to Beijing as an official and accompany you, isn't it okay? ”

"Nope! Song Jing shouldn't die! He's not wrong! ”

The stubbornness on her face was particularly strong, her hands slapped the table, Li Chenxi screamed and refused again, her annoyed appearance once again aroused Wu Meiniang's anger, and she suddenly stood up in anger, Wu Meiniang's wide sleeves simply flicked to the west, and ordered coldly: "Don't know what to do, the rules of the Damin Palace, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the princess and concubine are treated equally, now you immediately get out of the palace, go back to the Lizheng Hall to study!"

"Okay, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, which were quite similar to Wu Meiniang, and she couldn't help but cry, and Li Chenxi also nodded coldly.

"My dutiful mother, you will continue to guard your rights right here! My daughter won't beg you anymore! ”

After speaking, Li Chenxi turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial study.

Obviously feeling that something was wrong, Wu Meiniang asked angrily behind her back, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Seleucia to find your father! Father will never be as cold and heartless as you! I will never beg you again! ”

Her eyes were black, her chest rose and fell violently, and before Li Chenxi could go far, Wu Meiniang sat back on the dragon chair with a full ass, and gasped for a moment.

The dripping cinnabar seems to be really flowing with bright red blood.

It took a while to relieve, and put the fold aside, for the urgent court events on weekdays, for the first time Wu Meiniang was in a disturbed mood and didn't like to criticize, and casually drank half a cup of bitter coffee that had been cooled, and she was also tired Leaning on the dragon chair that countless people dreamed of, and rubbing her temples tiredly.

But this effort, the little yellow door outside the door suddenly hurried, broke in without regard for etiquette, and two letters with red heades were anxiously sent to Wu Meiniang's table.

"Niangniang, the river is in an emergency, and the prince is in a hurry!"

"It's the Hezhong Protectorate again, can't these two brothers stop a little?"

Just now suffered a deep injury on her daughter, Li asked Li Jin to come to the matter again, even Wu Meiniang couldn't help but roar with anger, the anger of the Iron Lady frightened the little yellow door and collapsed to the ground with weak legs, ignoring him A small person, with anger, Wu Meiniang rudely turned over the twists and turns of the Duhu Mansion in the river, only looked at it twice, but couldn't help but gasp.

"How is this possible?"
