The empress's face immediately turned cold, "The fourth prince has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and it is a must for him to make wine, let him form troops, isn't that a joke about tens of thousands of lives up and down the coastal county?" Angry to the extreme, the tail note suddenly rose cold.

The minister shuddered slightly, and could not say anything.

The empress didn't intend to let her go, but stared at her gaze and looked at her deadly, "Say an example of how the four princes can be up to the task." ”

The minister's head was buried very low, and his heart trembled faintly, at this time, he really hoped that several ministers of the Dingguo Mansion would stand up and say a few words, but none of the Dingguo Mansion stood up to speak out.

Then the minister was even more afraid.

"Say!" The empress said impatiently.

The minister trembled and paled, but could not utter a word. She is not familiar with the four princes, except for knowing that she can make wine, she really doesn't know anything, and she can't make it up if she wants to!

The empress was even more disdainful, "You recommended the fourth prince, but you can't tell his ability, so you're joking with me?" ”

"No, no, Your Majesty!" The female minister couldn't go on, and seeing that the people in the Guogong Mansion were out of the matter one by one, the female minister said directly, "It was the old Guogong who asked Weichen to say this." She said that the four princes are talented, but they lack an opportunity to let Weichen help recommend them! ”

After saying this, the people of the Guogong Mansion turned white, fell to their knees one after another, and denied one by one, "There is nothing to do, Your Majesty." Kong Shaoshi is framing our national government! ”

"Report-" The little eunuch Feng Gonggong, who was waiting at the palace gate, came to report, "Your Majesty, someone has sent a secret letter!" ”

"Who?"

"The minions don't know. The Praetorian Guards guarding the gate said that a child had sent it and ran away after sending it off. ”

"Bring it on!"

Gonggong Feng took a few steps forward, and the great eunuch in front of the emperor came down to deliver it.

The empress took the secret letter and opened it to see that it was a naked IOU, on which was the title and signature of the three empresses.

The empress was furious at the moment, threw the IOU out, and ordered the current family of the Duke of Guo to pick it up and take a look.

The minister picked it up, took a cursory look, and when he saw the signature, he rolled his eyes in fright, and almost fainted, "Your Majesty, this, this, this is absolutely impossible." The three princesses have their own property, why do they have to borrow so much money, this is unreasonable! ”

"Isn't it reasonable? Do I need money to recruit troops? Do you need money to collect Assassins? Do you need money to set off a civil uprising in coastal counties? ”

"......," he couldn't answer for a moment.

Li Qinglan has done a lot of evil, and there is ironclad evidence one by one, in this case, it is really unconvincing to say that the IOU is not hers, unless the person who really wrote down this arrears can be found, but so far, there is not even a suspect object.

For a while, not to mention that a few people in the Guogong Mansion were stunned, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also stunned.

The empress was furious, and originally wanted to spare the Guogong Mansion in front of the Emperor Ren, but now she didn't think so, and immediately issued an order to revoke the merits of the Guogong Mansion, and everyone was demoted and exiled.

Some ministers who were originally related to the Three Queens were just vacated, but the official positions were still there, but after this incident, the empress dismissed all these people and exiled them in order to avoid future troubles.

For a time, the imperial court set off another great turmoil.

"In such turns, there will be more and more vacant official positions, and there will be more and more people who take the opportunity to grab official positions and seize power." In the inn, Gongsun Fu, who was standing and settling accounts, said.

Li Qingqing propped up her head and smiled evilly, "That's not it, who wants to miss this opportunity?" "She didn't want to.

Gongsun Fu paused, and the abacus stopped, "If Qing'er wants to go far, then you have to calm down." ”

Li Qingqing glanced back at Gongsun Fu and said with a smile, "I know, don't forget the lesson of Mr." ”

"Have you heard, there is a Qingyun list on the rivers and lakes, and it is said that the people on the list are very powerful characters."

"Yes, what are they?"

Outside the door of the inn, a few guests passing by were talking about this Qingyun list.

Li Qingqing didn't bother to pay attention to it, lowered his head and continued to look at Mr. Abacus.

But the men had come to the inn, and after ordering a few side dishes, they sat down and continued.

"I heard that the Qingyun list is ranked among the officialdom figures. The Billboard is a ranking of people. Each list only shows the top 100, and being on this list not only shows that this person is powerful, but also can be sought after.

Do you know Yun County?

This list was circulated from Yunxian County. It is said that this has become a fashion in Yun County.

Do you know the five princesses? ”

"You know, it's famous, how could I not know. I heard that this inn is also the property of the Five Princesses! Another guest said.

Li Qingqing and Gongsun Fu heard the three words of the Five Imperial Daughters at the same time, and subconsciously stopped talking, pricking up their ears to listen.

The guest then continued, "Guess she's on the top of the list?" Third! Since the death of the third princess, she has directly become the second.

Do you know who the number one is? ”

"It can't be the empress, right?" The man asked.

The speaker shook his head, "The first is of course Your Majesty." Your Majesty's wrist and mind, who dares to be the first if you don't rank first. ”

The man heard the meaning of the words, "Then what do you mean that the imperial princess is still ranked below the five imperial daughters?" ”

The speaker nodded, "Surprise, right?" However, the explanation given by Qingyunbang also makes sense. So far, the empress has not made any other contributions except for quarreling with the horses and arguing with public opinion. Even if there is a contribution, it is negative, can it be ranked? In my opinion, if she hadn't been the eldest daughter, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to sit in the position of ...... "queen daughter."

The diner who listened to the fun was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth, "Don't say any more!" ”

The diner didn't dare to say any more, just as the little two served the dishes and ate them silently.

Li Qingqing couldn't wait to cover her ears after hearing this, "Master, what are you trying to do!" ”

Ranking her below the empress and above the empress, doesn't this imply that she will replace the empress, is the master afraid that her life will be too long, and she is ready to shrink it by a few years?

Gongsun Fu's brows furrowed tightly, and his tone tightened, "This is really your master?" ”

Li Qingqing smiled bitterly, "Master has always been like this, in his world, if you can not torture to death, you will stick to your principles." ”

Gongsun Fu was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.

Li Qingqing didn't have the heart to say more to him, now she just wanted to solve the ranking matter as soon as possible, and after thinking about it, she decided to go to her senior brother, because only the senior brother could contact the master.

"Sir, I'll go back to the palace first."

"I'll accompany you!"

"No, I can do it myself!"

Li Qingqing hurriedly walked past the counter and walked out of the inn.

Gongsun Fu looked at the hurried back, and thought of the wry smile just now, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, after thinking about it, he still decided to go with him to take a look, and the task of settling accounts in front of the counter was handed over to the shopkeeper.

The inn has always had a shopkeeper to take care of it, but occasionally when he is free, Gongsun Fu has to check the account books himself.
