Chapter Eighty-Nine: Planning

The ministers of the Empress Dowager's faction wanted to overthrow Lan Qi'er above the court and expel her from the court, but it ended with Lan Qi'er's strong resistance and the tragic death of Changshi Xiao Guangzuo, which caused an uproar in the entire Loulan Ancient Kingdom and became a hot topic.

Of course, the topics are different and multifaceted, because everyone's position is different, and the words are different, no matter how they are rendered, Lan Qier has not been shaken above the court, and Xiao Guangzuo is really dead.

With Lan Qi'er's home visit, Mrs. Lan knew the whole process of this incident, and knew how difficult and dangerous it was for her daughter to contribute to the ancient country of Loulan and protect the last wishes of the first emperor.

Emperor An Gui felt sorry for Xiao Guangzuo's death, but it was only temporary, it was in the court, after the court meeting, An Gui returned to the harem, and when he saw the little master of the harem, his mentality immediately changed, and Xiao Guangzuo's death was left behind.

When the queen mother heard the court incident, she was also shocked, and her trusted minister Xiao Guangzuo was killed by Lan Qier with Shang Fang's sword in front of her eyes and above the palace of the dynasty, what kind of concept is this, is there no royal law in the dynasty, in the future, above the court, who will dare to target Lan Qi'er, the matter is a matter, what can the queen mother do to Lan Qi'er?

After all, Lan Qi'er has the protection of the first emperor's edict, and has the right to senate and inspect the history, and her anger can only be attributed to the first emperor, why can she give Lan Qi'er so much power, and hate herself for not paying attention to this little woman at the beginning!

The queen mother is a person who is not chaotic, a person who is very deep in the city, knows what she should do, and the first thing she does is to appease the hearts of the ministers, so she immediately instructed the eunuchs around her to prepare sacrificial gifts and gold and silver, and the queen mother accompanied by the maid and the eunuch, went out of the harem and went straight to the Xiao Mansion.

There was a cry inside and outside the Xiao Mansion, white silk and white flowers hung all over the gatehouse of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Guangzuo's coffin was quietly placed in the courtyard, the incense candles were burning, and from time to time there were bureaucrats who came to mourn.

The arrival of the Queen Mother, Xiao Mansion can be described as full of brilliance, this is a situation that has never been seen in the ancient country of Loulan, Xiao Guangzuo's death in exchange for the arrival of the Queen Mother, whether it is sadness or glory, Xiao Guangzuo's family wants the Queen Mother to be the master, and the Queen Mother wants to give an explanation!

Of course, the Empress Dowager came prepared, knowing that she came to the Xiao Mansion this time to give the Xiao family and the faction ministers an answer and a clear promise.

There are two aspects to this promise, on the one hand, the words must be able to appease the hearts of the people of the Xiao Mansion and the ministers, and on the other hand, it is really to ask Lan Qi'er for an answer.

The Empress Dowager and several ministers, and important ministers entered the guest hall of the Xiao Mansion one after another, and the eunuchs of the Empress Dowager naturally stood guard at the door of the living room.

The queen mother was the greatest, so she naturally spoke first, and asked about the whole process in the court, and the ministers described the actual situation in the court, and then asked the ministers what the next step was to deal with Lan Qi'er.

The ministers, you and I began to talk word by word, the most important thing is to focus on the Ming edict of the first emperor, the right to give Lan Qi'er is too great, the Ming edict is in, the sword of Shang Fang is in Lan Qi'er's hands, the will cannot be changed, Lan Qi'er has the power of life and death, and the court is in clear opposition, and it is the ministers who suffer, so in the future, it must not be in clear confrontation, a lesson from the past!

With the Han Dynasty opened up the silk road, the ancient country of Loulan is to rush, there are exchanges between the countries of the Western Regions, the caravans continue to shuttle in the desert Gobi, the ministers with the processing of gem mining, and the caravans of various countries have intersections, the leaders of the caravans of various countries in order to facilitate walking in the desert, of course, are very willing to make friends with the officials of various countries, which forms mutual trust in interests, and invisibly becomes friends.

The ministers discussed with the queen mother for a while, there was no good way to deal with Lan Qi'er, the bright one didn't work, so I wanted to be dark, and began to study the secret calculation, from time to time the minister mentioned the Pishan country in the Western Regions, the Pishan country in the Western Regions is prevalent in witchcraft, there are witchcraft talents, and witchcraft is dark art.

When the queen mother heard this, her face was happy, and she immediately asked about the situation, and the minister Sina described the witchcraft of the Pishan country to the queen mother and the ministers, and the minister Sina still has a very good language ability, and described the witchcraft as a god, so that the queen mother and the ministers are convinced of witchcraft, and believe that if you can invite the wizard of the Pishan country, you will be able to make your wish come true, and Lan Qier will die without a place to bury her body.

There is a secret trick, the queen mother and the ministers of course adopted the method of Sina, the queen mother immediately ordered Sina to contact the caravan of Pishan country and invite the wizard of Pishan country, of course, the reward given is considerable, the benefits are great, it is natural for the matter to be successful, and the wizard is complete!
