Chapter 448
After Liang Lin led someone to copy the mansion of Xia Sicheng, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, someone soon entered the palace when the Taihe Gate was opened, and came to the Qinzheng Hall to find Liang Huanqing Xingshi to ask for guilt.
I didn't go to the morning court today, but because Liang Huanqing knew early on that she had Xia Sicheng arrested Xia Sicheng and imprisoned last night, someone would come to her, so she sat in the Qinzheng Hall early in the morning and waited.
Yuebai has now removed the service of the palace maid and changed into the costume of a female official in front of the palace.
Earlier, when Yuebai was dressed as a female official in front of the palace and accompanied the queen to the court, some courtiers saw Yuebai's dress and felt that it was inappropriate, and once wrote and said:
"Now the queen is still just the queen mother, the mother once said that looking for the emperor, to see people alive and dead to see the corpse, but now the emperor is still no news, the mother is hanging the curtain to listen to the government out of helplessness, Aunt Yuebai changed into the clothes of the female official in front of the palace, as if she had some intentions."
This dress was put on by Liang Huanqing let Yuebai wear, she needs Yuebai to accompany her to the court, He Sheng He Yu She is not used to it, dealing with this kind of family and country affairs, the people who must serve themselves must be satisfied.
Immediately, Liang Huanqing replied to the courtier: "Now that the palace is hanging the curtain and listening to the government, sitting in front of the palace to take charge of the world's major affairs, how can the palace maid around the palace only be a palace maid, since the palace is now sitting on the main hall, Yuebai is the female official in front of the palace."
She is the palace commander of the palace in the Qianning Palace, and she is the female official of the palace in the Qinzheng Palace. What's wrong with this? Could it be that the lord is alluding to the fact that the name of this palace is not right? The word deliberate is talking about the palace? ”
Now that Qi Jingqin has been missing for two months, Liang Huanqing, with the help of Qin Yuandao, Liang Lian, and Si Nanping, has become more and more familiar with handling government affairs, far less embarrassed than at the beginning, and often stays up late in the Qinzheng Palace to watch the twists and turns and fall asleep.
Now that she has built her own cabinet, she can help her deal with the affairs of her family and country with people like He Sheng and He Yusi Nanping, and she will slowly become a lot easier, but the things she should know are still the same and all the things she knows.
In the past two months, the Celestial Empire has slowly restored its former prosperity, Liang Lin sent troops to strengthen the border defense, and Zhao Zexun is also dedicated to the outside world with the imperial court.
When the people's livelihood was stabilized, Liang Huanqing didn't plan to take a breath, so she secretly investigated the corruption again, she knew in her heart that living and working in peace and contentment today was just in front of her, and there were still many things, which were fundamentally rotten.
If you want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so that the prosperity of the Celestial Empire will still be restored, you must get rid of those silverfish hidden in the foundation.
The courtiers all know the means and power of the queen mother now, and after hearing what the queen mother said, there must be something in the words.
The queen mother is now caught in corruption, and many courtiers are panicked, so they began to grasp some of the queen's deeds to make a fuss, so that she can know her current identity.
Now that he saw Yuebai dressed in the service of a female official in front of the palace, he began to use this metaphor for the queen mother to seek power and usurp the throne and directly claim the emperor.
But how could Liang Huanqing at this time still be the only one two months ago, worried that he couldn't do anything well, so he has been compromising Liang Huanqing?
She immediately replied to the lord in front of all the courtiers.
When the adult heard this, he quickly knelt down, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and he shouted: "Weichen doesn't know, I hope the queen will forgive me." ”
Recently, Liang Huanqing has been purging the Qing Dynasty, so many people want to stumble on Liang Huanqing openly and secretly, and this adult is estimated to be the barrel of the gun, Liang Huanqing knows it well.
"Now the government is much better than before with the help of your lords, and this year is approaching, and there will be many festivals at the end of the year, when all countries come to the court, other things can be put aside for the time being.
This year's situation is special, when the state capitals report, the palace must carefully check the accounts, and the household department must handle this matter properly, so as not to let people with intentions take advantage of the loopholes.
In addition, the imperial examination is coming, even if the emperor is not here now, but how can not bury those talents, when the palace will hold the palace examination in the Yangxin Palace, but all matters, the Ministry of Rites handles.
Many of you adults are from the palace test, you should know that above the palace test, there are many talents, but now there are not many official positions left in the court, if you have the heart to give way to the descendants, the palace can give you this opportunity. ”
Liang Huanqing said this very clearly, now that she is strictly investigating corruption, if anyone dares to obstruct her in front of her at this time, it is estimated that she will go to prison directly, and there will be no emotion to talk about.
"Obey the Queen's will." The courtiers knelt down and agreed.
The courtiers all thought that it would be good to have a peaceful life during this time, but some officials heard the words of the queen mother, and they were not allowed to live in peace, and remembered to be busy covering up what they had done.
But often like this, it is exposed, and Xia Sicheng, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, is like this, who wants to send the gold, silver and jewelry obtained from corruption out of the capital overnight, and also spends money and bribes to ensure that things can be done seamlessly.
But there is no such thing as a drop of water that does not leak seamlessly, as long as it has been done, there will definitely be traces.
So Liang Huanqing ordered the seizure of Xia Sicheng's mansion and found a bunch of evidence accounts, which also led to the foundation of corruption in the imperial court.
After knowing this, Liang Huanqing also happened to follow the vine and find out the remnants that had not been found out behind the scenes.
Hearing that Xia Sicheng, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, was arrested and imprisoned, some people began to sit still, worried that they would find out their heads, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Gonghuiwei was one of them, he heard that Xia Sicheng was imprisoned, so he didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the Taihe door opened, he arrived at the Qinzheng Hall early.
For Gong Huiwei, it is not a way to stand still, and it is the best way to strike first, so he didn't wait for others to come to him, so he first found the queen.
At this time, Liang Huanqing was sitting in the inner hall of the Qinzheng Palace, looking at calligraphy and painting.
This is Qin Ruilan got it from outside the palace, and she can't help Liang Huanqing by herself, knowing that she is hard, but she feels sorry for her, but she can't often enter the palace to see her, so she can only find these beautiful calligraphy and paintings.
She said to the eunuch who came to get the calligraphy and painting: "At that time, I will say to the queen mother, I don't have to understand it, now there are some things that can not be studied and not studied, this calligraphy and painting are good-looking, with beautiful colors, and the autumn is more desolate, adding color to the queen's palace, and the picture is festive." ”
When Liang Huanqing heard this, he also bowed his head and smiled, who would have thought that Liang Huanqing was now much more mature than before, and instead sent some calligraphy and paintings to Fengyang Pavilion, leaving only a few paintings for his own enjoyment.
During this time, Qi Wangshu can also quickly soothe his emotions, Liang Lian also helped a lot, Liang Huanqing promised Liang Liang to enter and leave the palace at will, and there are no other concubines here, I just hope that he can enter the palace to see Qi Wangshu when he is free, and his relatives are gone for a while, it must be uncomfortable.
Fortunately, although Qi Wangshu is not very sensible, she is sensible and can know how difficult it is for the court and the royal family now, and there are some things that the queen mother is inconvenient to do, she is always Princess Wangshu with the blood of the Qi royal family in her body, and she needs to come forward from time to time to suppress those rude people.
These two months have not been easy, everyone who survived is struggling, Qi Jingqin is still nowhere to be found, he has found everything, but there are no clues, it is like the whole person has evaporated out of thin air, and nothing remains in the world.
Everyone began to despair, and many heirs of the clan asked about the prince intentionally or unintentionally, but they were all scolded back by Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu: "Now the emperor is not dead!" What does it mean to establish a prince?! Have you ever seen the Emperor die? ”
The heir of the clan, the king of the county, also said: "But no matter how much you delay now, what is the solution, the queen is only a woman after all, and she is in charge of the world for a while, can she be in charge for a lifetime?" If you can't find the emperor all the time, just wait like this, and the Qi royal family will be buried! ”
This is really clear, in the final analysis, she is still afraid that she is not a member of the Qi royal family, but now that she is married into the Qi royal family, she is unwilling to admit her at this time, and she is an outsider, and her mind is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows!
"Bold!" Liang Huanqing was angry, pointed at them and said: "One by one, you are the heirs of the Qi royal family, and all of them are the descendants of the Qi royal family, but when you are in danger now, you only know that people are worried about the sky, and you don't know how to do some practical things." Now that the emperor is not dead, and the palace has not seen the emperor's body, it is impossible to establish a prince, don't think about it! As long as you go to the capital for a day, you will break this thought.
The prince can be established, but the premise is to find the emperor, don't say two months, two years, twenty years and so on! The Heavenly Empire will not be lost, you don't have to worry about this thought! Wang Sijun of the heir county was worried, ordered to recuperate in the palace, as long as the imperial doctor has not cured your hysteria, you will not be allowed to leave the palace, in order to ensure the safety of the palace, the palace will send someone to protect, you don't have to worry! ”
Liang Huanqing left after speaking, and put them all under house arrest in just a few words, but there was no way, she had real power and military power in her hands, they were clansmen, but for the sake of their relatives to fight for power, the royal clan would not be able to govern, they had empty honorific titles, but no real power.
In the past two months, Liang Huanqing's grievances and sufferings abound, Liang Huanqing looked at these calligraphy and paintings in the Qinzheng Palace, recalling some things in the past two months, and still had palpitations in his heart.
But it's been so long, Qi Jingqin, where are you......
Liang Huanqing touched the calligraphy and painting sent by Qin Ruilan, and the word "Qin" was written on it.
This is one of the pre-Qin poetry classics - "Morning Wind"
The morning breeze of the bird, the north forest of the Yubi. I didn't see a gentleman, and I was worried about Qinqin. How to do it, forget yourself so much!
There are budding oaks in the mountains, and there are six oaks in the mountains. I didn't see a gentleman, and I was worried and happy. How to do it, forget yourself so much!
The mountain has buds, and there are trees. I didn't see the gentleman, and I was worried. How to do it, forget yourself so much!
"I haven't seen a gentleman, I'm worried about Qinqin. How is it, how much selflessness......" I don't know how, Liang Huanqing actually read these two lines of poetry.
Yuebai was waiting on the side, and when she heard the queen mother read these two poems, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, worried that the queen mother would be more and more sad the more she looked at it, so she put away the calligraphy and painting, and said: "Queen mother, your eyes will be tired after watching it for a long time, so let's rest for a while."
In the golden autumn, the slave maid heard that the golden cinnamon and chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming, a piece of Huang Cancan is very good-looking, yesterday accompanied Princess Wangshu to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, chanting poems, enjoying the flowers and drinking tea, the princess is also in a very happy mood.
When you take care of political affairs, will the slave and maid accompany you for a walk? ”
Liang Huanqing knew what Yuebai was worried about, that is, he was worried that he would miss Qi Jingqin more, but it was all false to say that he didn't want to, how could he not want to, in the days when he was away, he slept every day as if he was sleeping on a hanging rope, and he would fall off if he was not careful.
Be cautious, walking on thin ice, and only she knows the pain.
Those aggressive ministers are really a headache, but fortunately, there are Qin Yuandao and Liang Lin in the court, and at this time Liang Lin also served as the secretary of the military department, and only the military power is in hand, so he is not worried about anything worse happening.
Liang Huanqing also promoted a lot of people in the Liang family's army, and his family is still with him in the end, even if he thinks of the old general, they will never betray the queen.
In the face of Yuebai's earnest greetings, Liang Huanqing just shook his head, only to see that Yuebai had some disappointment in his eyes, but he was more worried about himself, Liang Huanqing also laughed dumbly, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then when you are done, let's go together, you have worked hard during this time." ”
Yuebai shook his head with a smile, and before he could say anything, He Yu came to report outside the door: "Queen Mother, Lord Huiwei of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu asks to see you." ”
Liang Huanqing and Yuebai glanced at each other, and the two exchanged glances, the person who was waiting today was Gonghuiwei, and this time it could be regarded as coming.
"Master Chuangong comes in." Liang Huanqing was sitting on his lap, Yuebai stood on his side with a cold face, looking majestic, just waiting for the public emblem guard to come in.
Gonghuiwei heard about Xia Sicheng's incident yesterday in the morning, that is, he couldn't sleep well, so he entered the palace early, and when he heard the queen calling him, he hunched over and went in.
"Weichen see the queen mother, the queen mother thousand years old thousand years old." As soon as Gonghuiwei came in, he knelt down and saluted Liang Huanqing in the center of the hall, not daring to look up at her, and he was very worried.
Liang Huanqing didn't look at him either, just lowered her head and copied the calligraphy and paintings she had just seen, today's recital was sent to the cabinet, with Si Nanping here, she was relieved and much more relaxed.
"It's so early in the morning, why didn't you go to court today, why did you come to the palace to say goodbye?" Liang Huanqing didn't let him get up, so he lowered his head and asked him, looking like he didn't know what was going on.
Gonghuiwei came all the way up from a local official, and now that he is fifty years old, he has only found the position of secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and he has naturally become a human spirit, Liang Huanqing is still a twenty-year-old girl, of course he knows what the queen mother means.
"Queen Mother, Weichen is here for the seizure of the mansion of Lord Xia of the Taifu Temple yesterday." Gonghuiwei didn't want to go around the bend, so he simply said it directly.
And Liang Huanqing waited for him to say these words, and now he came here, not to excuse himself, but to know what this seizure meant.
"The palace ordered it to be sealed." Liang Huanqing didn't raise his eyes, and after saying this, he put down his pen and looked at Gong Huiwei kneeling in the main hall, "Is there any problem?" Gongsama? ”
After speaking, I saw Gonghuiwei's expression change slightly.
And that's just the beginning.
