The next morning, the atmosphere in the hall was quite strange.

Just because there is a wide Taishi chair next to the throne, and sitting on it is the empress dowager Su Qingkite, who was criticized by the courtiers as "the demon of the country".

There is no curtain, no screen, this woman in plain clothes and silver hairpins actually sat in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military so frankly!

In addition to being surprised, the ministers went from whispering to discussing, and finally they were arguing with each other on top of this court.

Su Qingyuan was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but quietly peek at Lu Li's face.

Lu Li turned his head and winked at her lightly from an angle that the ministers couldn't see.

Su Qingyuan hurriedly looked away and lowered her head.

After a while, the clamor of the courtiers gradually subsided.

The first to stand up was Xue Li, the righteous political envoy.

He hurriedly saluted Lu Li, and then turned his gaze to Su Qingyu: "Dare to ask the Queen Mother: What do you want to appear in the court?" ”

Su Qingyuan subconsciously looked at Lu Li, but saw that he just lowered his head and played with the paperweight in his hand, looking like he didn't care about himself.

After a little hesitation, Su Qingyuan took a deep breath and slowly raised her eyelids: "The mourning family wants to come, so they came." The crime of 'calamity to the country and demons' is beared, are you still afraid of taking on another 'Chicken Si Chen'? ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

He Zhengru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped out of the ranks and was heartbroken: "Since ancient times, there is a difference between inside and outside, and it cannot be surpassed. His Majesty is not a young master, and the Queen Mother has never been entrusted by the first emperor, which is really inappropriate! Please drive back to the palace immediately, don't embarrass Your Majesty! ”

"It's good that the Queen Mother is happy, I don't feel embarrassed." Lu Li smiled nonchalantly.

He Shangshu choked on this sentence, and his face couldn't help but look a little difficult.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help but glance in the direction of the throne again.

She never guessed Lu Li's intention of taking her to the court. At this time, it seems that he deliberately wants to watch from the sidelines, leaving her alone to deal with the questions and accusations of the ministers.

Su Qingyuan's heart was a little timid, but she had to face it head-on.

How can the queen mother of the world be overwhelmed by the momentum of her courtiers?

"May I ask He Shangshu," Su Qingyuan's face was flat, "You are a courtier, and you have repeatedly and twice verbally coerced the emperor to put the mourning family to death, have you ever thought about whether the emperor will be embarrassed?" The emperor has made it clear that the mourning family is the queen mother, and the world knows it. Could it be that you, the 'pillars of the court' and well-read and sensible Confucians, don't even know how big a crime 'mother-killing' is? You keep saying that there is a difference between inside and outside, but why don't you remember that you have a share in dignity and inferiority? If the mourning family dies at your hands, will the Nanyue Dynasty still have Tianlilun there? ”

She asked one question after another, her tone becoming more stern than the other. He Shangshu wanted to interrupt at first, but after she finished speaking, he fell silent.

Xue Li continued coldly: "If you really understand the emperor, you should confess your guilt and kill yourself at this moment, instead of running to the court to mess around!" ”

Su Qingyuan looked at him coldly: "The mourning family is not guilty, why do you want to kill yourself for no reason, and make the emperor bear the name of 'unfilial piety'?" ”

Xue Li twisted his brows and let out a sneer.

Before he could refute, Su Qingyuan continued: "In the past few days, the ears of the mourning family have been a little quiet—I heard that someone has counted the locust plague in Shandong on the account of the mourning family? ”
