Jiang Muyi's bloody rain in the palace, Zhou Lingwang didn't know for the time being, she thought about it and went to meet King Wu.

She is a female dependent, and she is supposed to be the reception of Princess Wu, but Princess Wu has no good impression of Zhou's women, and she doesn't often come and go, so she didn't think about it, but who knew that Zhou Lingwang took out the token in the queen's palace.

Princess Wu listened to the other party's name as the queen, so she didn't dare to slack off, the previous day's incident had spread all over the big families, and the queen's mother killed Guan Zhi's matter to everyone.

Princess Wu was surprised, but she was both respectful and appreciative in her heart, since someone came with the queen's order, there must be something important, and since this was the case, it was naturally impossible for her to turn the other party away.

"What's the matter with Mrs. Zhou?" After Princess Wu said a few words, she went straight to the point.

Zhou Lingwang smiled slightly: "Entrusted by the queen's mother, I have something important to find His Royal Highness King Wu." ”

As soon as she said this, Princess Wu understood the deep meaning of her words, since she came to find King Wu, it means that it is a very big matter, and it cannot be easily said to others.

Princess Wu has been in charge of the palace for many years, and she is not stupid, seeing this, she did not continue to ask, but asked about Zhou Lingwang's words: "So that's the case, the prince went to Gong Meng, and Zhou Niangzi is afraid that she will have to wait for a while." ”

Zhou Lingwang smiled slightly, "It's okay." ”

Princess Wu continued: "If the queen has something important to entrust, in fact, she only needs to summon the concubine to the palace once, so why bother the troubled girl? ”

That's what happened in the palace. If the queen had a chance, how could she ask others to tell a little bit of information, and this person was still a Zhou woman.

Although she doesn't interfere much in government politics, she still has a little bit of knowledge of Guan Zhi's favor today. Today, the saint has not gone to court,

But thinking about it, Guan Zhizhi can't hide it from him, and he doesn't know what kind of bloody rain the queen will endure.

"Don't dare to be, the queen mother said, His Royal Highness King Wu is the head of the clan, how can he drive it at will?"

Since you want to drive the head of the clan, it means one thing, this matter is very important.

Princess Wu had a sense of proportion in her heart, but she really couldn't understand how the queen mother could get involved with the woman of the Zhou family.

Could it be that the queen mother leaned towards the Zhou family. This doesn't look like it, if this were the case, he wouldn't have suppressed Zhou Fa in the palace yesterday.

She was thinking about how to ask, when she heard a report from someone outside: "Princess, the prince is back." ”

Princess Wu glanced at Zhou Lingwang and asked someone to lure Zhou Lingwang over.

King Wu felt strange when he heard the report come from the people, the queen had something worth instructing, and it was not unusual for people to send news out, but the queen actually let the Zhou woman send the news in, which was very strange.

But he didn't refuse, and asked Zhou Lingwang to come over, although he didn't like the Zhou family, he had no intention of dealing with this little girl of the Zhou family, not to mention that he also obeyed the queen's order.

After Zhou Lingwang got up with a salute, he told everything about everything.

King Wu's face sank little by little, "That pill can you bring?" ”

"Naturally, I don't dare to go." Zhou Lingwang nodded, and then offered the pill.

There are several doctors in the palace of King Wu in case of emergency, after all, not all the time to call the imperial doctor. Now that it is just right, it is also useful, thinking of this, he hurriedly called someone over.

The doctor looked at the pill and nodded towards King Wu with a heavy face.

King Wu's heart sank, and he waved his hand and told the doctor to retreat.

"This was found from inside the Taiji Temple?"

Zhou Lingwang nodded, and then added: "The queen mother watched the Holy Lord take it with her own eyes. ”

King Wu's heart sank, "The palace gate is forbidden, where did such a thing come from?"

At the beginning, the matter of the Feather Pill was in an uproar, but now it has not been a year, and it has been turned out again, and it is still in the palace of the saint.

Zhou Lingwang's eyebrows sank slightly: "The queen mother doesn't know, the incident happened suddenly, and the queen didn't have time to investigate, so she ordered the courtiers to send Yuhua Dan out, just to ask King Wu to investigate." ”

How else could it be delivered? Who can't see that Guan Zhi did what happened to the Feather Pill at the beginning? Can it still be someone else? Thinking about the saint's favor for Guan Zhi during this time, can you still think of who did it?

Zhou Lingwang didn't say this, and King Wu could guess it.

"Though a man dies, iniquity does not cease." King Wu sighed.

"How's the Queen?" King Wu asked again.

"I don't know yet." Zhou Lingwang shook his head slightly, and continued to ask: "The matter has come to this point, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Wu wants to do?" ”

King Wu pursed his lips, the matter has come to this point, the best way is naturally to ask Emperor Yuanjia to quit, then everyone can naturally act as if nothing has happened.

But this is almost impossible, he has not taken the Feather Pill, but he has seen people after taking it, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to quit.

How do you quit unless you use strong tactics?

But the person who takes the Feather Pill is the emperor, even if he is incompetent, he is also an emperor, an adult emperor, if he is strong against it, then where is the majesty of the emperor?

But if he left it to his own devices, without Guan Zhi and no one could meet his need for Feather Pill, what should he do? What kind of things will it cause?

It's a dilemma.

It can only be that Emperor Yuan Jia himself is determined and takes the initiative to quit. But since it is an initiative to quit, then someone is bound to mention it to the saint.

This matter must not be made to a big extent, otherwise it will be unimaginable and will be disturbed among the people, and the holy decree will no longer be effective. Once this matter comes out, the Yuhua Dan will definitely flood in Northern Qi, and at that time, Northern Qi will become a meal on the plate of Xirong and Southern Jin.

Then the only one who can be relied on is the queen, and let the queen persuade the saint, if it is good, it will be good. But now that the queen is in the palace, the situation is only not good. The queen kills the eunuchs, and the emperor and queen must be estranged.

How can the queen still persuade the saint.

"What are you paying attention to the queen mother?" King Wu couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Lingwang's eyes drooped slightly, this idea is really difficult to take.

"You are the head of the clan, it is better for you to advise in private, if the Holy One can quit, naturally everyone will be happy."

King Wu naturally knew this truth, but what he wanted to know more was, what if he couldn't? If you can't persuade you, what can you do?

Zhou Lingwang lowered his head, the queen did not give a definite idea, but she had an idea.

If you are too admonished, you will not advance. So with this outbreak, I'm afraid that it will get worse, and sooner or later everyone knows that it will make trouble one day.

If the saint is unwilling to go, then there is no need to stop it.

"What if this doesn't work?" King Wu asked again.

Zhou Lingwang pondered for a while, and then spoke, "The courtiers were in a hurry when they left the palace, and the lady had not told her, but the courtiers had a plan. It's better to directly cut off your fingers to survive and abolish the emperor and establish a new one. ”

"Bold!" King Wu's color changed, and he hurriedly reprimanded: "You dare to make such rebellious words in this palace, based on your words, this king can say that you will be sent to the criminal department." ”

He didn't expect that this Zhou girl would have such courage, and the eyes that looked at her were surprised and scrutinized.

She is so bold, although it is said that it is supported by the Zhou family, but what are they to be the emperor, is this what they want to stand up for, and if they want to abolish it?

The people of the family are really domineering.

He originally wondered why it was the Zhou daughter who came out to summon the interrogation, but Nian Zai was sent by the queen, so he didn't investigate it too much.

After all, the queen is not an ordinary woman, and she must have her own reasons for sending this person out. But I never thought that she would dare to make such nonsense. Now that I think about it, this may be the conspiracy of the Zhou family, deliberately sending this person to confuse the queen.

Although King Wu is the head of the clan, Zhou Lingwang is not afraid at all, she continued: "Since the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he has not made much achievements, and his family and country have been ruined. If you still take Feather Pill and don't repent, what do you keep it for?

If he is forced to abstain from the pill by forceful means, then the majesty of the emperor will not exist, and no one will pay attention to the holy decree in the future. Moreover, with today's open-mindedness, after quitting Dan, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not retaliate against the courtiers who helped him quit Dan, and now that Gu Hou is separating one side, he will suppress the virtuous ministers again. In less than a year, the world will surely rise up, and the country will perish.

If it is left unchecked, it will surely become more and more fierce today, and once it spreads, then the decree of the court will become a dead letter, and there will be no credibility at all, and it will not die as far as the country is concerned.

It is better to abolish the emperor, in this way, although the authority of the Son of Heaven is damaged, but it can correct the law of the country. If the Son of Heaven is abolished because he has violated this law, then who in the world dares to disobey this law? ”

"You...... You...... You're so daring. "King Wu is angry, since she dares to openly say that the saint has no achievements and is narrow-minded, this is a big crime, but she still dares to say it, today's words have spread out, not to mention the Zhou girl in front of her, that is, the Zhou family behind her, I am afraid that there will be no good ending.

"The Son of Heaven has seven contentious ministers, although there is no way, he does not lose the world. If no one in the government and the opposition speaks out, they are only afraid that the national disaster will last for a long time. The courtiers just express their opinions, where do they get the boldness? Zhou Lingwang was not afraid.

When King Wu heard this, his anger calmed down a little, he saw that she was talking extraordinary, but he was a little more scrutinized, thinking about her words, but he felt that there was some truth.

It's just that the surprise has not faded, after all, the truth is the truth, but it is another thing to say it.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, it has been a long time since there have been such sharp remarks.

In fact, during the period of Taizu Taizong, the imperial history of the court scolded more than the other, such as Zhou Niangzi's words, and he had also seen such a scene.

At that time, the king was the founder of the country, with great power, and he was a real king who held life and death.

But such a monarch can tolerate the remarks of his courtiers. But now, he has to act according to his wishes, and he is easy to be provoked by traitors, so that the loyal ministers and good generals abandon the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Imperial authority is indeed important, but a truly wise monarch is able to maintain a balance between imperial authority and courtiers' outspokenness.

Obviously, Imagami doesn't have the ability to do this.
