Chapter 703: The emperor should think about it himself
After attending Lord Song's funeral, Prime Minister Ning returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a gloomy face.
"Prime Minister, you have something to say, now that the queen mother is united with the king to do evil, the situation is already obvious, whether the emperor is sick or imprisoned, no one knows, as the head of the ministers, you have given an idea." Several old ministers seem to be forcing the prime minister to give a better way.
Prime Minister Ning sighed slightly: "It's too late, the queen mother is now in power, lust for profit, and colluding with King Huai, King Ruian is cold because he doesn't want to interfere, King Heng is out of the matter at all, in this situation, what do you tell me to say, I can't do anything." ”
"Prime Minister, I don't think we should follow the previous method and incite some mobs to rise up against the demon queen and let her step down?" Thinking of the previous incident of the burning of the demon concubine by Tianhuo, an old minister proposed to bring up the old matter again, so that the people forced Ye Anran to step down.
Prime Minister Ning shook his head: "It's not like I haven't thought of this method, but it doesn't work at the moment." ”
"Why doesn't it work?" Several other old ministers were puzzled.
Prime Minister Ning explained slowly: "A few days ago, the queen mother personally took out the family wealth as a mortgage, and borrowed so much silver taels from the Gusu Meng family for the people to relieve the disaster, this matter has spread among the people, and the people think that the queen mother is a living bodhisattva, and there will be no rebellion at all, if we strongly instigate, it will only backfire, and we are found by Xigong Lonely, we are also a dead end, just like today's Lord Song." ”
After listening to Prime Minister Ning's explanation, several old ministers sighed slightly......
"Prime Minister, what should we do, are we just watching this demon concubine ruin our sky?" One of the old ministers was in tears.
"Of course not, it's not that there is no way, I have an idea, but I don't know if that person cooperates?" Prime Minister Ning said suddenly.
"Please make it clear."
"A few of us jointly wrote a secret letter, sent it to the border pass, and looked for Zhao Lengyun to come back, General Zhao is loyal, and the Zhao family has nothing to say to the royal family of the West Palace, so in order to find out if the emperor is really sick, just let General Zhao come back, but Zhao Lengyun is usually cold, I don't know if he will listen to us?" Prime Minister Ning Cheng said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, I have a very good relationship with Imperial Physician Zheng, and Imperial Physician Zheng's daughter Zheng Yanru is Zhao Lengyun's wife, so as long as we give the secret letter to her wife, then everything can be done."
"Well, this is a good solution, so let's act immediately." Prime Minister Ning got up and began to write a letter.
Inside the Royal Palace
Golden Dragon Palace
"Your Majesty, the concubine killed a minister today, so I came to ask you for the guilt." Ye Anran walked in and knelt on the ground.
"Oh? I don't know which minister offended Enron?" The emperor was a little surprised.
"Yes...... Song Zixing, Lord Song. Ye Anran said truthfully.
"Lord Song, what mistake did he make to let An Ran kill you so much?" The emperor was a little suspicious.
Ye Anran suddenly cried, and her tears couldn't stop falling......
"Enron, don't cry, what's wrong? If there is something to say slowly, I will call the shots for you. Seeing Ye Anran crying, the emperor panicked.
"Then Lord Song kept saying that the concubines wanted to monopolize power, dominate the government, and prevent the emperor from going to court, and what was even more excessive, he said ......?" Speaking of this, Ye Anran wanted to speak and stopped.
"What did he say?"
He said that the concubine and King Huai had an ulterior secret, and the concubine really couldn't get off the stage in front of the civil and military officials, so he allowed King Ruohuai to kill him on the spot, but then he thought about it, it was the concubine who was too impulsive, and such a major matter should be discussed with the emperor first, but ...... The person is already dead, and now it's too late to say anything, and the concubine has come to ask the emperor for guilt. Ye Anran cried like a tearful person, and told the matter as it was.
Of course, in the process of her telling, there must be an element of rendering, and she always has to play the victim.
"Don't cry at peace, I know, since the old minister insulted you, if you die, you will die, you don't have to blame yourself, get up." The emperor coughed lightly a few times and waved his hand, and easily forgave Ye Anran.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Anran immediately burst into tears and laughed.
"Enron, I've been bored lately, can I accompany me to play a game of chess?" The emperor's eyes were a little expectant.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen the concubines yet, tomorrow, you rest first, and the concubines will leave first." Since dealing with the government smoothly, Ye Anran has not accompanied the emperor much, he only comes symbolically every day, talks about some important things, and spends the rest of his time in Jiuhua Palace to deal with the government.
However, I have to say that Ye Anran's way of dealing with it is very set, and he is also very active in doing things for the people, which can be said to be a conservative business.
"Your Majesty, how long do you want to pretend to be like this, just let her mess around like this? I'm afraid that next time, the person she will deal with will be Prime Minister Ning. Hurricane stepped out of the screen behind him and said earnestly.
"No, Enron won't." Although the emperor said so, he obviously lacked confidence, and even his eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment.
"Your Majesty, she even gave you the medicinal powder given by Xigong Lonely, what else is impossible, her subordinates remind you not to have any illusions, she is just like other women, once she is controlled by power, she becomes unscrupulous, and the killing is just beginning." The wind seemed to have a worse and worse impression of Ye Anran.
"But she still can't bear it, can't she? And...... This powder is not poison, she must know that it will not hurt me, so she fed me it, right? "The matter has come to this, and the emperor seems to be still talking about self-deception.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates just want to ask, how long do you want to indulge her? Do you really want the entire canopy of heaven to be destroyed in her hands before you stop? Seeing that the emperor is now a little obsessed with Ye Anran, the wind really can't bear to be angry.
"No, I believe her, always do." The emperor is still hopelessly stubborn.
"Your Majesty, if you can't do it, your subordinates will do it, anyway, the Ye family will be left with herself, rather than letting her live and harm others, it is better to die directly." With that, the wind took the sword and walked out.
"Hurricane, if you dare to touch her, I don't say that you should know the consequences." After hearing the words of the wind, the emperor's eyes were cold, and he said semi-threateningly.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates can't stand it anymore, for the sake of a woman, can you see what you have become? Do you really treat the country as child's play? Just because she's so messing around? The wind sword raised his eyebrows, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.
"Hurricane, in fact, she is still very considerate of the people, she now reviews and reviews the folds every day, and she has made a very reasonable judgment, you shouldn't think of her so badly." The emperor said in a low voice.
"She did that, she also has her own purpose, it's just to buy a good reputation and buy the hearts of the people...... Those ministers are also in danger, and the subordinates don't want to say anything more, so the emperor should think about it himself. With that, the wind departed.
The emperor just sighed heavily......
