Chapter 3: The Empress Dowager of the Red Chamber (3)
Following
After retiring from the court, Tu Minghui went to the harem with great fanfare and went to Ci'an Palace to ask for peace!
Qiao Mu's body is old and his sleep is shallow, so he woke up early, and at this time he was already leisurely lying on the chair basking in the sun.
Half-squinted, very comfortable.
It wasn't until all the people who were waiting on the side knelt down and said hello to St. Ann that they knew that her cheap grandson had come to greet her.
"Hello, Imperial Grandmother, please!
After his grandson ascended the throne, he was busy for several days, and he did not come to ask for peace frequently, and he hoped that the emperor's grandmother would not blame! ”
In any case, he Tu Minghui had indeed not seen the Empress Dowager for nearly half a year, so when he came again this time, he naturally had to confess first.
While speaking, he also half-squatted down and helped Qiao Mu, who was half-leaning on the recliner, to straighten the Buddha beads.
"How can Minghui be free today!
Don't be polite, sit down, Mama Qiao serves tea, the last Yuhong Longjing was good.
I'm tired of going to court, I'll drink more tea later!
If you're hungry, I'm a little bit of a snack too!
You see what you want to eat, don't be in a hurry, you can let the people in the small kitchen make it fresh! ”
Qiao Mu wanted to meet the current emperor yesterday after the apprentice left, but she always felt bad when she was a grandmother suddenly went, and the apprentice also said that she would let the new emperor come over to ask for peace, so she was not too anxious and waited for the new emperor to come.
Now it's not time to wait.
Hurriedly opened his eyes, and showed his kindness as a grandmother in three or two sentences.
This concern frightened Tu Minghui for a while, and it took a while to come to his senses:
"Imperial grandmother, don't be busy!
The grandson has already eaten breakfast, and he is not hungry at all, but Yuhong Longjing can come some, and this morning he spent a lot of words with those incompetent officials, and his mouth is very dry!
I'm tired of Mama Joe! ”
After Tu Minghui moved a chair to Wei Xiang and sat down, he opened his mouth and led the topic to the court, hoping to resonate.
"But it makes you angry!
Don't worry too much, if you really don't like it, just send it to a remote place.
Isn't there a shortage of people in Jiaozhi, Lingnan and other places? ”
Qiao Mu understood the meaning very well, and immediately followed Tu Minghui's words and led the topic of the two to the court, so as to pave the way for the next thing they needed to talk about in advance.
"The Imperial Grandmother laughed!
Those officials are not very wrong, how can they belittle the border region at will, even if some officials are wrong, but the forces are entangled, and I am also powerless! ”
Tu Minghui took the tea handed over by Mama Qiao, and did not drink it, but first shook his head with a wry smile, feeling a little sad for himself.
Who doesn't want to be the emperor of the word?
But he, the emperor, is really very sloppy, there is a emperor above, and the ministers of the court and the central government below are disobedient, and there are many old ministers who rely on the old and sell the old, which is really difficult.
If he wants to issue an edict to denigrate, I am afraid that before the holy decree can be written, the Emperor Taishang will have to call him over to teach him a lesson in the way of benevolence.
Qiao Mu knew that the main drama was coming, so he sat up straight with a calm face, and asked in a serious tone:
"How can a mistake not be punished?
By the way, yesterday your father told me about the Zhen family, saying that the Zhen family bought hundreds of acres of fertile land for 36 taels of silver, but this is true?
If it's true, it should be punished severely!
Otherwise, today, the Zhen family will buy 100 hectares of fertile land with 36 taels of silver, and tomorrow they will use 36 yuan to buy 1,000 hectares of fertile land, and the day after tomorrow, will they buy all the world!
Also changed to the world of the Zhen family? ”
Buckle hats, analogies and other work, arbor is not too skillful, and in a few minutes, the Zhen family's purchase of good land at a low price has been extended to wanting to steal the country and rebel, and his thinking is very jumpy.
With such words, Tu Minghui, who was already ready to answer the stubble on the side, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he didn't know how to answer!
He just wanted to punish the Zhen family with the Empress Dowager's decree, and install some of his own people by the way, but according to the meaning of the Empress Dowager's words, this is to slap the Zhen family to death, or the kind of slap to death that exterminates the Nine Clans.
Not to mention that ginger is still old and spicy!
Can't be provoked, can't be provoked!
As soon as Qiao Mu saw Tu Minghui's expression, he knew that he was still soft-hearted and timid, but this kind of thing has always been to fight a snake and not die, but was injured by it.
By recalling the memory of the original body, Qiao Mu can easily analyze that the Zhen family is now the right and left hand of the emperor, and even the reason why the emperor can still maintain his position in the court is also because of the operation of the Zhen family in the court.
It's better to be beaten to death with a stick!
As long as the Zhen family's forces are destroyed in a very short period of time, even if most of the emperor's left and right hands are broken, in the future, although it may affect the court slightly, it will definitely not be like now, and it is difficult to compete head-on.
However, Qiao Mu didn't continue to say the benefits, just quietly waited for Tu Minghui's reply.
"What do you mean, Imperial Grandmother?"
After a long time, Tu Minghui made a gesture of wiping his neck in disbelief.
At this moment, Qiao Mu finally showed a teachable smile: "Minghui!
You must know that when the world discovers that someone has done great evil, then this person must not be the first time to do evil, and there must have been many incidents in the past, but they have not been discovered by others.
Tomorrow the evidence is conclusive, you can show it to me, and I will consider what kind of decree I will make! ”
The two of them didn't say it very clearly, but they both understood each other's meaning, after Tu Minghui experienced the initial shock, he quickly figured out what his imperial grandmother meant, and he couldn't help but want to fight in his heart, if he could really completely destroy the Zhen family, then how could he take most of the power from his father.
When the time comes......
It's exciting just to think about it.
If it was before, he would definitely not dare, because the Emperor Taishang not only held more power than him, but also had a filial piety word on him, but now it is different, now he has the emperor's grandmother as a backer, which is enough to fight back with filial piety.
"The imperial grandmother taught me a lesson!
By the way, yesterday I heard that the imperial grandmother wanted to know about the situation of Cheng'en Gong's family, and the grandson had a good hand, and some things were sorted out yesterday, just to show you!
There are some more detailed, now are being sorted out on the side, it is estimated that it will be sorted out until the evening, then I see that if the time is not late, I will send someone to your side, if the time is late, I will send it over tomorrow morning, so as not to nag you to rest! ”
Qiao Mu is willing to help him get rid of the Zhen family and regain the imperial power, and he naturally has to repay the favor by getting some things that his imperial grandmother wants, so as to show his sincerity in cooperation.
