Great Chu Palace, the main hall.

Hundreds of civil and military officials went to court, lined up in two small phalanxes, shouted long live the mountain, and knelt down in unison.

"Flat."

On the dragon chair, Xiang Ning's expression was a little sluggish.

After returning to China for more than a month, the ceremony of marrying the queen is about to be completed, just waiting for the arrival of the Han Emperor's envoys.

As for Lu Fubao, because the imperial concubine is not the queen of the main family, there is no need to marry a big gift, and she can only be canonized in the harem.

"I ......"

Xiang Ning was just about to speak, but he stopped his mouth again.

Fan Li has not been in court for more than a month, and she once thought that she could be pro-government.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother actually moved a chair behind the dragon chair, hung up the bead curtain, and went to court with her from then on.

This is the legendary curtain to listen to the government!?

Xiang Ning was very depressed.

Since ancient times, only the weak lord will be mixed to the point of letting the harem listen to the government.

She couldn't afford to lose this face, and once euphemistically objected to the Queen Mother.

"You are young and knowledgeable, and you have no experience in governance. Isn't it good for the mourning family to help you expel the Fan clan in the DPRK one by one? ”

"Besides, you are born to the mourning family, can the mourning family, with the respect of the queen mother, still compete with you for the throne?"

The Empress Dowager's reasons are very sufficient, at least Xiang Ning can't refute them.

She also admitted that since she ascended the throne, the Queen Mother has always been her strongest supporter.

The prestige of the Queen Mother in the Chu State is extremely heavy, as long as Fan is not away from the court, the Queen Mother can definitely deter hundreds of officials!

There is also the first master of Da Nei, Chen Gonggong, who is loyal to the Queen Mother!

Within a month, the Empress Dowager listened to the government and issued holy decrees in the name of Xiang Ning one after another, and indeed dealt with many officials of the Fan Li faction.

At this moment, Xiang Ning looked at the ministers under the imperial ranks, and they all bowed down to themselves, as if Da Chu had never had a situation where the lord was weak and the minister was strong.

But in Xiang Ning's heart, it was only full of unreality.

"Fan is not in the court, why do I feel that I am still a puppet?"

"Among the officials who were dismissed by the queen mother, there are several talented and moral qualities, and it is a pity to be dismissed."

"The vacancies after the dismissal, and the queen mother fills the newcomers, but they are all alternate officials that I am not familiar with, and I have not even heard the names of several of them."

Xiang Ning subconsciously glanced back, only to see that behind the hazy bead curtain, there was a faint golden phoenix crown shaking.

But the Queen Mother's charming face is very blurry and difficult to see.

"Your Majesty has a will!"

Gonggong Chen's soft and high-pitched voice pulled Xiang Ning's thoughts back to reality.

She frowned slightly, forcibly suppressing the depression in her heart.

Your Majesty has a will?

It's funny, even she doesn't know when she has a new will.

Obviously, this is what the Queen Mother meant.

As soon as the civil and military ministers stood up, they had no choice but to kneel on the ground.

"Zhisu Neishi Gongsun Ou and Hu Qi Captain Guo Ling, who have been in office for a long time, have no merits, and their talents are mediocre, so they will be immediately removed from their official positions and reduced to civilians."

Xiang Ning thought he was hallucinating!

Two more officials were dismissed!

Gongsun Ou is a high-ranking official of Jiuqing who is close to the Fan family, and Guo Ling, the captain of Hu Cai, is a famous garrison general!

"Is the queen too aggressive? This is simply blatant targeting Fan Li. ”

Xiang Ning always felt that something was wrong.

There must be some reason why the Queen Mother was so radical and completely abandoned her previous forbearance attitude.

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"

The two dismissed civil and military officials were not convinced, kneeling on the ground and crying out for grievances.

Gongsun Ou is a civil official, and his attitude is relatively gentle, but he has tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, since the minister served as the ruler of the internal history, he sorted out the old accounts of the first emperor and filled the deficit of money and grain. Now that my Great Chu treasury is abundant, and Weichen has no merit and hard work, how can he be dismissed for mediocrity? ”

Guo Ling said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the last general was promoted to captain Hu Qi because of his merits, may I ask where the evaluation of 'no merit, mediocre talent' begins?" Could it be that the last general's training in the past few years to suppress bandits and kill enemy chieftains is not considered merit? ”

Xiang Ning was embarrassed to hear that!

Although they knew that the two of them were Fan Li's henchmen, they were indeed talented and meritorious.

She even often envied Fan Li, who was able to bring these talents under her command.

"Why didn't the Queen Mother consult with me beforehand? actually dismissed the two on the grounds of 'incompetence', and the charges cannot be confirmed at all. ”

Xiang Ning was extremely depressed, fidgeting on the dragon chair, and didn't know how to answer the questions of the two civil and military ministers.

"The Queen Mother?"

Xiang Ning turned his head and asked tentatively in a soft voice.

"I don't know about these two people, what do you mean......"

The queen mother behind the bead curtain only made an 'um' sound in a nasal voice, and seemed to be dissatisfied.

Xiang Ning didn't know what to do, but Gonggong Chen moved.

The figure of the old eunuch was as fast as lightning, and he came to the kneeling two in an instant.

Violent crash!

With a burst of purple light!

Gongsun Ou didn't even have time to protect himself with his mighty qi before he was hit in the chest, and the person flew upside down and fell out of the hall like a kite with a broken string.

Guo Ling's cultivation was obviously higher than that of Gongsun Ou, and he at least made a resistance move.

Seeing this, the old eunuch just sneered.

Guo Ling's hastily operated talisman aura instantly condensed like an entity, but it was instantly smashed by the old eunuch with a slap.

In the next second, Gonggong Chen's right hand made a claw shape, which had already pierced Guo Ling's abdomen and pinched it inside him!

The civil and military officials present vaguely heard a muffled sound, as if something had been pinched and exploded!

They knew that Guo Ling was a master of the Yuan Infant Stage, but they were afraid that the Yuan Infant condensed in his body would be shattered.

One of the eight captains of the Great Chu Garrison, the captain of Hu Cai, who ranks 2,000 stones, was killed by the harem eunuch in the court!?

Gongsun Ou, who fell out of the hall, was later discovered, and the meridians of his whole body were broken, and he also became a waste.

Chen Gonggong wasted two people in one second!

In the Chinese martial arts, all the officials of the Fan family were in a cold sweat and did not dare to make a sound.

Xiang Ning had only become a Yuan infant not long ago, and seeing Guo Ling, whose realm was higher than herself, was abolished, she subconsciously covered her lower abdomen.

"Da Chu has "Chu Law", how can Gonggong Chen do it to the minister without going through the interrogation of the court captain!?"

Xiang Ning thought so in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to say it.

She inexplicably had a sense of alienated fear for Gonggong Chen, or for the queen mother who was loyal to Gonggong Chen.

This feeling she had never had when she faced Fan Li.

In order to avoid the tragedy from happening again, Xiang Ning plucked up his courage and said softly: "Queen Mother, can you retreat?" ”

If you retreat from the dynasty, you can protect the remaining officials, even if they include Fan Li's family.

Xiang Ning thought that he had this face, but he heard the Queen Mother smile coldly.

"Retreat? Your Majesty is really joking, the early dynasty has just begun, and there are ministers who have something to do. ”

Xiang Ning was extremely embarrassed.

Why doesn't the queen mother give herself any face?

Moreover, how did she know that there was a minister who had something to do?

Could she be a fortune teller?

Xiang Ning was thinking wildly, and saw Zong Zheng, one of the Nine Qings, coming out of the ranks.

"Weichen chestnut, something to play."

Zong was the official in charge of royal affairs, and Li was born in the mother family of the queen mother.

According to his generation, he should be regarded as Xiang Ning's uncle.
