Chapter 008: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping (1)

Da Zheng Guodu has many names, Lishui, Xietai, but Zheng people are still used to calling it Lijing, as the most prosperous place in the world, a "Li" word expresses the yearning of countless people.

The Zhejiang River is known as the "Lord of a Hundred Rivers", its water originates from the Western Wilderness, returns to the East China Sea, the tributaries are vertical and horizontal, communicate the north and the south, Lijing is the place where the channel of the Zhejiang River changes from narrow to wide, and the river water changes from rapid to slow, it is the key point of the world's water meridians, and the pivot of the dragon's qi gathering and dispersing.

In the main hall of the Li Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao sat on the dragon chair, looking down on the ministers.

As a woman, even if she is the queen mother, she is not qualified to sit in this seat, and what really makes her rightfully sit on the dragon chair is the baby who is less than one year old in her arms.

"Do you have something to do?"

I have to say that this feeling of superiority made Zhao very intoxicated, and she vaguely remembered that when she first entered the harem, she was just a palace maid with some appearance, and life and death were in the hands of those concubines and nobles.

In the harem, there are many palace maids like her who were killed with a rod because they accidentally angered nobles, and it was this sense of urgency that made her step by step from a palace maid to the point where she is now.

Zhao believes that if you want life and death not to be controlled by others, then you must control the life and death of others!

So, she can imprison her own son for the sake of power!

Now, the Zhao family has finally got her wish, the life and death of the people in the world are all controlled by her, she is already high, higher than the emperor!

"Ministers, please play!" Not long after Zhao's words fell, a man in a black robe with a red belt around his waist walked from the group of ministers to the center of the hall.

Zhao glanced at His Royal Highness's person, and recognized this person as Shi You, the guard of the Western Army, and replied lightly, "Accurate!"

"Empress Dowager Bing!" Shi You arched his hand and said, "The minister heard that Huang Shen, the county guard of Guangyuan County, stole himself and embezzled 200,000 stone of military rations, and the defenders of Guangyuan County have no food for the winter!"

As soon as Shi You's words came out, he immediately shocked the court, 200,000 Shi military rations, this is the ration of 50,000 troops for four months! If this is really the case...... Almost all the officials in the court looked at Prime Minister Huang Ping.

Everyone in the palace knows that Huang Shen is the younger brother of the prime minister, two months ago Huang Shen was still a small county magistrate in Guangyuan County, and when Huang Ping ascended to the position of prime minister, he immediately left his errand and ran thousands of miles to his brother's door to cry bitterly, and finally Huang Ping reluctantly agreed to his position as the county guard.

Unexpectedly, this Huang Shen poked out such a big basket just a few days after becoming the county guard, and the courtiers were originally a little dissatisfied with Huang Ping, but now they are happy to watch the excitement on the sidelines.

After Huang Ping heard Shi You's performance, his face did not change in the slightest, without a bit of city government and means, how could he be mixed into the status of one person and above ten thousand people?

"Dare to ask General Shi, where did you hear this rumor? Isn't it the street wine shop that listened to those drunken people talking nonsense!" Huang Ping asked indifferently.

If it is an ordinary official, speaking in the court without being invited to play like this will be punished with the court staff, and Huang Ping, as the prime minister, naturally does not need to do so.

"Hmph! This matter was told to me by the county guard of Guangyuan County himself, how can it be fake!" Shi You immediately retorted when he heard Huang Ping's questioning.

Fool! Some officials in the court heard Shi You's answer, and suddenly sighed in their hearts, sure enough, they were reckless men who only knew how to fight and kill, Huang Ping casually dug a pit and jumped down......

"Bold Shi You, as a guard lieutenant of the Western Army, you actually colluded with the border army, what do you want!" Sure enough, Huang Ping grabbed the question in Shi You's words.

The duty of the Western Army is to encircle the Beijing Division, which is the most important army in addition to the Yulin Guard, and its commander must be a close confidant of the Son of Heaven regardless of whether it is the Yulin Guard or the Western Army, such as Shi You is the companion of the Emperor who died violently.

It is precisely because of the important position of the Western Army that if Shi You really colludes with the border army as Huang Ping said, then no matter what the intention is, it will be punished as a conspiracy!

"Let your mother's ##!When did Lao Tzu collude with the border army!" Shi You was said by Huang Ping, his neck suddenly thickened, and he scolded with a red face.

"Hehe, you said that you didn't collude, so why didn't the county lieutenant of Guangyuan County report such a big matter directly, but quietly told you?" Huang Ping didn't seem to be angry at all because of Shi You's scolding, and still said slowly.

When a group of courtiers saw this, they knew that the show was about to end, indeed, a county Taishou embezzled grain and grass, and such a major event had to be reported directly to the heavens, and the county lieutenant did not report it but told Shi You, this is a fatal problem.

Shi You also knew that he couldn't refute it, but he was like a crazy bull, glaring at Huang Ping and saying, "Hmph! You said lightly, who doesn't know that Huang Shen is your brother! You said that I colluded with the border army, and I also said that your Huang family wants to plot the world!"

"Shut up!" Zhao knew that it was time for her to speak, otherwise no one would be able to step down if she continued.

As soon as she shouted, the baby in her arms immediately cried, and the court officials immediately knelt down.

"As a courtier, you are insulting each other in the court like a ruffian, the Son of Heaven is young, what should I do if I am frightened?" Zhao hugged the new emperor who was crying loudly and scolded loudly.

"The ministers are guilty!" Hearing Zhao's reprimand, the hundred officials immediately confessed their guilt, even Huang Ping and Shi You didn't care about attacking each other at this time, otherwise, a crime of bullying the king would not be able to escape.

"Prime Minister Huang Ping, the guard of the Western Army Shi You, roared at the court, fined for three months, to set an example!" Zhao said in a cold voice, "Regarding the embezzlement of military rations by the county guards of Guangyuan County, and send people to find out the original situation, we will discuss it later!"

After Zhao finished speaking, he left behind the curtain with the Son of Heaven expressionlessly, and when the chamberlain Gao Xi saw this, he shouted to retreat, and then evacuated with the Queen Mother.

With the departure of the queen mother, the court meeting was announced, the kneeling officials in the hall glanced at each other, and stood up and left the hall, along the way, some of them discussed each other in groups of three or two, and some were silent.

On the way back to the palace of the Zhao family, the Son of Heaven in her arms couldn't stop crying, she took out a black pill the size of a pearl wearing silk thread from her sleeve, and stuffed the black pill into the mouth of the Son of Heaven, and the crying stopped.

This black pill is a secret pill specially made by the Zhao family, and if you put it in your mouth, your tongue will be numb, and your throat will not make a sound, and once you take it out, it will lose its effect, and it is through this method that the Zhao family makes the Son of Heaven cry at the right time, or quiet down at the right time.

"Gao Xi. When the Son of Heaven in his arms quieted down, the Zhao family summoned the chamberlain who followed him.

"Our Lady!" Gao Xi heard the call, and immediately stepped forward quickly and bowed.

"Go and call the prime minister. Zhao's tone paused for a moment, and then said slowly, "Go openly." ”
