There were only two people who spoke.

They stood in the middle of the earth, and no one sat down.

One of them is more than fifty years old, wearing agarwood-colored stickers, foundation soap boots, and a new satin hat on his head, and he can't see his identity just by looking at his clothes, but he has a flattering smile on his face, and he smiles naturally, and he is often flattering at first glance, and he is a housekeeper in the palace's own hospital.

The other man was about thirty years old, with a melon seed face and slender eyes, dressed in sapphire blue righteousness, wearing a crown of loyalty and tranquility, with a majestic expression, and liked to raise his chin when he spoke, and at first glance he was accustomed to giving orders.

And he has a thick southern accent.

He stretched out his hand and asked, "Have you got the portrait of the queen mother?" ”

The butler turned around and took down a scroll from the shelf, handed it to the man, and said, "Why do you want to paint a portrait of a mother?" It's really not easy to get this, the queen didn't let people draw a picture at all, it was Qian Ning who found a waiter who knew how to do a trick, and secretly wrote down the appearance and painted, which took a lot of effort. ”

The man said, "Is this Qian Ning really doing things, is he painting a portrait?" ”

The housekeeper said: "I haven't seen the little one, but Qian Ning took so much silver from the master, he didn't dare to do big things, such a small thing, it should be harmless, right?" ”

In fact, he was asking around the bush why the portrait of the queen.

The man put the scroll behind him and did not look at it, and replied, "The prince wants to see it, who knows why he wants to see it?"

Maybe it's curious, from the tax reform to the proposal to build a navy, the prince said that these things can't be thought of even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military want to break their heads, only people who have seen the bigger world can have these ideas, and the ideas are all said to be from the queen, then the queen is the person who has seen the world, such a woman who has seen the world, how can the prince not be curious? ”

The housekeeper muttered: "That is, how can a woman have so many fame, and there is no civil and military force in the Manchu Dynasty." ”

Then he suddenly asked: "You said these things, our prince is so knowledgeable, will you think of it?" ”

The man thought for a moment, then nodded, "Maybe." ”

Obviously, the two are extremely familiar with each other, and they can talk about some guesses.

After these gossips were finished, the man changed his words and suddenly said: "Don't look at the prince asking for a portrait, you think that the prince has other ideas, and the prince still says to do the things he has explained."

The queen interfered in politics and put forward some unbelievable policies, and the prince knew about it, but he didn't know why, so he ordered to get rid of the queen.

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "With the protection of the emperor, the status of the queen impeached by civil officials is still as stable as Mount Tai, how to get rid of it?" ”

The man groaned and said: "Let's abolish it first, it would be best if the queen could fall out of favor, in short, getting rid of the queen is not the goal, the purpose of the prince is to make the emperor lose harmony, and not let the queen help the emperor anymore. ”

That is, it does not necessarily have to be the queen's life.

But it is more difficult to make the emperor lose peace than to ask for the queen's life.

The housekeeper said: "Qian Ning will definitely not help, there is a lesson from Zhao Jin's past, so who dares to offend the queen now?" The little ones still can't figure out a way. ”

The man's majestic face smiled smugly at this time, and then said: "In the end, it is the prince, the prince already has a trick, you just match it, the first task is to find a merchant who can be engraved." ”

"A merchant who can engrave? What does this have to do with getting rid of the queen? The butler had a puzzled look on his face.

*****

Mrs. Han led Jinhua out into the street, and it was not yet time for her to return, but she had already hurried back.

She was holding a thin piece of rough-edged paper in her hand, with some words printed on it, but she couldn't see it clearly, so she took it and went to the east room to find Han Che.

Han Che happened to be at home, writing something in the room, when he heard the door knock and raised his head: "Mother, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

Mrs. Han handed the rough-edged paper to Han Che: "People on the street say that it is related to the queen, what is written?" ”

Something to do with Ah Zhao?

Han Che's face was full of curiosity, and after reading it, his face changed, and he said sharply: "Who is spreading rumors?" ”

In the old house of the Li family, Li Chengcai and the He family rarely quarreled, and came to the Wu family's kang seat together, and Li Chengcai also read something to the Wu family, which was the raw edge paper in his hand.

After hearing those words, Wu gritted his teeth excitedly: "It's really God's eyes, who is fighting for me and telling the truth?" That little pepper is going to fall this time, right? ”

Li Chengcai and He Shi glanced at each other and nodded, if this is not upset, it is really intolerable.

I don't know who is distributing a kind of rough-edged paper on the street, on which is written all kinds of unfilial deeds of the queen and her father, interfering in politics, and having no children...... Not worthy of being a queen.

It is reasonable and well-founded, after all, the Wu family is still lying on the ground, so the matter of folding the leg has been written.

And the court governs the country with filial piety, such rumors still have a great impact on the queen.

And the cabinet can't come up with a charter to deal with this matter at this time, and the impact on the cabinet will be great.

Yang Tinghe saw this kind of rough-edged paper from his subordinates, and then took it to Li Yangdong.

Li Yangdong was bowing his head to write the charter, and Yang Tinghe shoved the rough-edged paper in front of his eyes: "My lord, have you read this?" ”

Li Yangdong picked up the rough-edged paper with curiosity and swept it, and then put his eyebrows together: "Who did this?" Isn't it aimed at the queen? ”

Yang Tinghe nodded: "It's for the queen mother, this time your account book is going to remember the queen mother herself, right?" ”

After all, I don't know who the opponent is this time.

Li Yangdong shook his head disapprovingly: "What is this person going to do?" Won't this anger the emperor? ”

Yang Tinghe thought for a while, and then said, "But what if you anger the emperor?" The queen's reputation has been ruined, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to keep the queen this time, right? ”

Li Yangdong's rigorous but kind face became more and more ugly.

During the day, it snowed for the first time since the beginning of winter, and at night the northwest wind blew and the weather was frozen.

But the earth dragon burned in the palace early, and it was as warm as spring.

Yang Houzhao was looking through the folds in the study, and suddenly one was about Li Zhao.

He felt much more mature and stable now, but when he saw the words on it, he said that he couldn't help but jump to his feet.

Write down the name of the person who wrote it, and then call Zhang Yong: "Come here." ”

As soon as Zhang Yong came, Yang Houzhao threw the song fold to him: "Exile this, I will never see him again." ”

Zhang Yong slowly opened the fold and frowned.

Yang Hou took care of him and didn't move, glaring angrily: "What are you doing, you didn't hear what I said?" ”

Zhang Yong thought about it, and said that he decided to tell the emperor the content of the rough-edged paper that slandered the queen's unfilial piety and infertility outside, because the situation has become more and more intense, and it was only spread outside the palace before, but there will be internal servants out of the palace, and there are still a lot of people, and gradually the news will be brought into the palace, and he feels that only the emperor and the queen mother don't know now, right?
