"Mother, what should we do?" Jun Yao looked at Gu Xiwu's eyes, which had turned blue and black because of staying up late to deal with government affairs, and felt more angry in his heart for those stubborn and thoughtful courtiers.

Although he is young, he also knows where the rivers and mountains of Yunnan belong. Those ministers relied on their deep roots in the court and deliberately took care of them.

Gu Xiwu shook her head, looked down at the fold in her hand, and her mood became more and more depressed.

Since Mo Xuanyin left, she has handled government affairs diligently, although some things have just started and made some jokes, but there has never been a big mistake.

These courtiers should have given more support to her and Junyao on Mo Xuanyin's orders, so as to stabilize the foundation of Yunnan's rear and not worry the soldiers fighting on the front line. However, they fought for power and profit for their own selfish desires, and made the court into a miasma, which caused great trouble to Gu Xiwu's administrative order.

"If my father is still here, these people will not dare to do such a presumptuous act!" Jun Yao couldn't help but complain, his cheeks were bulging, obviously angry.

Gu Xiwu watched Jun Yao gradually become sensible, and explained to him the disputes in the court.

"In fact, there is also a faction of ministers in the court who support us, but Prime Minister Zuo is powerful, he has many henchmen, and many civil officials are his protégés."

The one who took the lead in singing the opposite tone to Gu Xiwu was Liu An, the left prime minister. If you want to completely suppress this unhealthy trend in the court, you have to start with Liu An.

Just when Liu An thought that Gu Xiwu had died down and was celebrating with his henchmen at home, news suddenly came out of the palace, saying that Gu Xiwu had reopened the court and asked them to go to the court to debate.

Liu An put on the prime minister's official robe under the service of the maidservant, touched the goatee and said disdainfully: "The old man admits that she does have some talent, but after all, she is a woman, and I can't tolerate the pheasant Sichen in Yunnan!" ”

Wang Shilang, the closest protégé to Liu An, said yes again and again, and came to the palace gate with him to wait.

The officials who rushed to the court in front of the door looked at the bright sky and were a little surprised for a while. It's still early to leave the palace gate, and there are already ministers who have gathered together to buy snack pads from roadside stalls to cushion their stomachs.

Seeing Liu An's confident look, the idle people gathered over and asked, "What is Prime Minister Zuo's opinion?" ”

Liu An waved his hand and smiled without saying a word, but just looking at his smug expression, he felt that he already had a strategy to deal with Gu Xiwu.

This attitude gave everyone more confidence, who knew that when they arrived at the court, they saw Gu Xiwu wearing a crown and leading Junyao to sit on the seat laid for himself.

This style is different from the previous few times, some people frowned and pondered, but Liu An was disdainful, and secretly said in his heart that he was making a fool of himself.

Thinking like this, he walked out lazily and asked quietly, "What is the matter with the queen today?" ”

Gu Xiwu looked at Liu An, her expression getting colder and colder.

"Prime Minister Zuo, why has the decree I put out last time not been implemented, is it that it has not been distributed to the six ministries?" Gu Xiwu glanced at the military department Shangshu who was standing on his side, and gave him a look.

This is indeed Liu An's order to trap Gu Xiwu in the palace and let him take charge of the imperial court. If Gu Xiwu's orders can't be implemented, then she is a puppet standing on a high platform.

Liu An has long been disobedient, but he has been suppressed by Mo Xuanyin before, so he has not shown it so blatantly. The current Mo Xuanyin was stumped by the war on the front line and had no time to take care of the rear.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king, which is talking about Liu An, a villain who is rampant when he has the opportunity.

Just when Liu An was about to open his mouth to argue, Shangshu of the Ministry of War stepped forward to interrupt him, and looked like he was complaining: "When the minister learned that the queen ordered the military department to raise grain and grass to supply the needs of the soldiers on the front line, he immediately went to the household department to get silver...... However, the head of the household department refused to approve the slip that day, and the gate of the treasury was locked, and I did not dare to go to get the silver! ”

Wang Shilang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he carefully glanced at Liu An's expression from the corner of his eye.

Liu An asked him to do this matter, and at that time, Liu An said that he would not travel on a business trip under the guise of a ticket!

The appearance of the military department secretary complaining about his grievances caused some ministers who were loyal to the country to be helpless.

During this period of time, the struggle in the court, they saw it. To tell the truth, this move is not beneficial to the country, not to mention the fact that the war on the front line is tight now, even if it wins a few big victories, it is not suitable to waste the results of the victory in this way.

Someone couldn't help but come out and said to Liu An: "Prime Minister Zuo, raising grain and grass is an important matter for the country, why do you want to detain the formalities of the household department?" ”

Liu An frowned slightly, and soon a disciple who observed his expression came out to argue with the man. There are more and more people arguing in the court, and it is even more lively than the street selling vegetables outside.

Jun Yao looked at their noisy appearance, and muttered in a low voice: "What a system! ”

Gu Xiwu saw Jun Yao's angry appearance, reached out and rubbed his little head, and said softly: "Mother is going to clean up Liu An today, Yao'er, you watch!" ”

Just when the quarrel below became more and more unpleasant, Gu Xiwu scolded and quieted everyone down.

Liu An, who was in the center of the storm, straightened his clothes, looked at his calm spirit, and said slowly: "The minister just thinks that the cost is huge, and the household finances are tight. ”

What he meant by this was that the border passes were not in urgent need of grain and grass, and there was no need to carry out Gu Xiwu's order. In contrast, Gu Xiwu disregards the finances of the household department and does the act of working the people and hurting the money, which is mediocre!

Wang Shilang, the representative of the household department, said this, with flattery and foresight in his words.

Jun Yao couldn't help but reprimand: "Wang Shilang, this is the court, not the living room of the private council of your master and apprentice!" ”

In the end, he has been studying with Mo Xuanyin for a long time, and when Jun Yao lost his temper, he also had a bit of Mo Xuanyin's appearance. Liu An was stunned for a moment, and his arrogance was also restrained a little.

Gu Xiwu has been preparing for today's attack for a long time, and contacted Lord He, who has a high reputation in the court, early. Master He is in charge of the assessment of civil and military officials, and has a deep relationship with the officials responsible for the transfer of officials.

Because after Liu An took power in the court, he promoted his protégé vigorously. This behavior has long made the examiners of the Ministry of Officials and Lord He resentful, and they feel that Liu An is acting too arrogantly.

Just when Liu An and Gu Xiwu were confronting, suddenly a front-line emergency report was sent into the palace gate. The urgent report said that the food and grass on the front line were in short supply, and he asked why it was delayed.

Gu Xiwu breathed a sigh of relief, this was the most critical part of her plan, and she needed Mo Xuanyin's cooperation. As long as there is Mo Xuanyin's letter, he has indeed caught Liu An's guilt for delaying the military plane.

Liu An didn't expect the good news from the front line to come so timely, he turned his head to look at Gu Xiwu suddenly, and said angrily: "You have premeditated, set this trap, and wait for the old man!" ”

Wang Shilang hurriedly stepped forward to support his teacher, but the protégé next to him, who was not determined, had quietly taken two steps back and distanced himself from Liu An.

Just when Gu Xiwu and Lord He took advantage of this momentum and wanted to remove Liu An, Liu An directly pretended to be stunned and was carried down from the court.

When he returned to the mansion, Wang Shilang discussed with Liu An. Liu An, who was supposed to be in a coma, asked the housekeeper to deal with the imperial doctor sent by the palace, he sat on the edge of the bed with gloomy eyes, and called Wang Shilang to whisper for a while.

The next day, Liu An's protégés seemed to have colluded and actually boycotted the dynasty collectively.

Lord He looked at the side of the empty hall on the court, and couldn't help but scold: "Now this court is his Liu An's failure, just because Liu An is sick, even his protégé is starting to get sick?" ”

Such heart-wrenching words made some ministers who didn't want to wade into troubled waters frown slightly.

Master He has said this, if they still don't express their position, wouldn't they acquiesce in Liu An's actions of committing crimes and colluding with the party?

Thinking like this, someone came out and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Prime Minister Zuo was removed from his position by the queen mother yesterday, and he was ordered to think about it in the mansion, but now it seems that Prime Minister Zuo ...... No, then Liu An not only didn't think about it, but intensified it! ”

Gu Xiwu hooked her lips slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Then do you have any suggestions for this?" ”

Master He immediately replied: "Our country has a large number of talented people, and a few days ago, the Ministry of Officials recorded a group of talented and learned people, which is the time for these young people to have more experience. ”

Others were shocked when they heard this, Lord He's words, he has a big appetite!

According to the meaning of his words, he wanted to deal with Liu An severely, and then remove all his disciples who refused to go to court. As for the vacant positions, Master He also listed the young talents recorded by the Ministry of Officials.

If you can take the opportunity to stuff a few trusted and reliable cronies, it will be a big advantage!

At present, the minister, who originally wanted to speak for Liu An's disciples, fell silent.

Before the court meeting dispersed, the news had already spread to the mansions of those protégés under Gu Xiwu's deliberate publicity. Soon, some people were disheveled, kneeling in front of the palace gate in official uniforms to plead guilty.

When Liu An heard the news, his eyes suddenly darkened, and this time he was really dizzy. By the time he awoke, he was on his way to exile to the Southlands.

Gu Xiwu took into account his prestige in the court and his past contributions, and only wanted Liu An to be removed before setting up the bureau. However, Liu An was bold and dared to join his protégés to strike the court, and Gu Xiwu approved the proposal of exile under the strong recommendation of Lord He and others.

A large number of people knelt in front of the palace gate at once, these people were well-dressed on weekdays, and now they completely disregarded face for the sake of their official position. Some of them heard the news at home, and they didn't even bother to put on their clothes, so they even rushed over with rolling belts.

When this matter subsides, it will be much easier for Gu Xiwu to push the executive order again.

However, after this incident, the news from the front line was cut off for a long time, and several groups of messengers sent by Gu Xiwu did not come back. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, from the beginning of the fire to insomnia every night.

The imperial physician in the palace was helpless, and Jun Yao concealed Gu Xiwu's first cut and then played, and ordered the divine doctor to be summoned.

Luo Quan looked at the list that had been removed in the Wind Moon Pavilion, and there was a playful look in his eyes.
