Chapter 45: Face

Shen Shiqing himself never thought that things would go so smoothly.

She originally wanted to set up a trap and let Cao Fengxi drill in by herself, but she didn't expect that she just started Cao Fengxi and directly said the most terrible words.

This also shows what kind of waste the Cao family has become by the Queen Mother.

The caution she has cultivated over the years makes her rather think about it than not, and at this time, seeing Cao Fengxi's brainless rampantness, she can't help but be in a trance

- It turns out that there are people in this world who are stupid, so they can also be rich and glorious.

Seeing that His Majesty did not speak for a long time, Zhuo Shengquan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Zuodu Yushi Qian Zhuo and others, who were also in the Wuying Palace, had already knelt on the ground at this time.

Zhuo Shengquan had a face of worrying about the country and the people, and as soon as he knelt down, he hurriedly knocked to the ground: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is in the harem, how can she interfere in the government affairs?" As the brother of the Queen Mother, Cao Fengxi, the Marquis of Shoucheng, does not want to serve the country with his body, but just wants to use the benefits of his identity to cover up his corruption and pervert the law, please punish your majesty according to the law!"

Zuodu Yushi Qian clumsy's courage is still greater than Zhuo Shengquan, who is still one step away from entering the cabinet, he directly pointed at the Queen Mother, saying that the Queen Mother had the style of Empress Lu and Empress Wu in politics, as if the Empress Dowager was able to let the first emperor cover up Cao Fengxi's guilt in the past, and she would be able to bring disaster to the country and chaos in the future.

frightened several eunuchs from Cining Palace outside the hall to shout for the queen mother.

Cao Fengxi watched the noisy you come and go, a little dazed and at a loss, and heard the old goatee with a goatee say that his sister had the heart to harm the country, and he almost got up to beat people when he hated it, but was stopped by two eunuchs.

Seeing that Cao Fengxi was going to beat himself, he followed the Zuodu Imperial History Qian Zhuo to face a saint in his heart, they are not afraid of being imprisoned and not afraid of being beaten, if this great uncle really sits on the charge of "beating the Yanguan on the Wuying Palace", he will become a hero who overthrows his relatives, enough to leave a name in history!

Thinking like this, the imperial history even rubbed in the direction of Cao Fengxi, half of his body was crooked, and there were four words written all over his body:

"You're beating me!"

Cao Fengxi was so angry that his teeth itched, the hat on his head was about to be torn off, and he held up the unicorn complement on his stomach and said loudly, "My sister gave birth to Your Majesty! Your Majesty! These people are climbing on your mother, and you will cure them. Otherwise, you will be unfilial!"

"Dang." A piece of paperweight was picked up and put back on the table, making a crisp sound,

There was silence in the Wuying Palace.

"Early this morning, the Queen Mother sent someone to send 100,000 taels of silver and two golden Buddhas over, so that I can check the accounts everywhere with peace of mind.

After speaking, Shen Shiqing beckoned and let the eunuchs of Cining Palace, who were stopped outside the hall, come in.

"Li Nianen, as the steward and eunuch of Cining Palace, you don't serve the Queen Mother well, why did you come to Wuying Palace?"

Li Nianen was prostrate on the ground, burying his head between his arms.

He knew that this was the last shred of face that the emperor had given to the queen mother, and if he told the truth about the queen mother's decision to let them stop the uncle of the big country, the queen mother would definitely be attacked by civil officials, and from now on she would really be regarded as a demon of the country.

Swallowing his saliva slightly, Li Nianen whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager heard in the Cining Palace that His Majesty was determined to sweep away the accumulated evils in the court, and felt deeply relieved, and bluntly said that His Majesty had the style of the first emperor, and then personally selected two golden Buddhas to His Majesty, as for the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, it was the fat powder money allocated by the first emperor to the Queen Mother over the years, the Queen Mother has always been diligent, and she was terrified of receiving this generous gift, because Her Majesty acted vigorously and resolutely like the first emperor, so that the mother was very happy, so she ordered someone to give the money to Your Majesty, only hoping that Your Majesty could get rid of the old evils and comfort the first emperor. As for the slaves and maids, it was because the Empress Dowager heard that the Marquis of Shoucheng had ordered the court to lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and did not want to return it, and she was uneasy, so she specially ordered the servants to pass the word. ….

Li Nianen said it sincerely, as if every word was true.

Shen Shiqing sat on the dragon chair and couldn't help but marvel that this Li Nianen was worthy of being a character who had been friends with Zhang Play and was able to retreat when Emperor Zhaode strangled Zhang Wan, and these words simply took the Queen Mother dry

is clean and clean, and saves enough face for the emperor.

Cao Fengxi was going crazy when he heard Li Nianen's words, obviously his sister cleaned up the matter for him, and said that his money didn't have to be repaid, why did this eunuch open his eyes and talk nonsense now?!

Zuodu Yushi Qian asked out loud: "Neiguan Li, Marquis Shoucheng said that you passed the will of the Empress Dowager to him back then......

Li Nianen kowtowed in the direction of His Majesty: "The slave maid did go to Gansu Xingtaifu Temple to see Shouchenghou back then, but it was because the Empress Dowager knew that Shouchenghou had caused a big disaster, so she ordered the slave maid to apply for Shouchenghou. The Queen Mother has been in the palace for many years, and she has always only taken care of the former emperor and His Majesty as her top priority, and she has never said a word in court politics.

Twisting his thick neck out of three thousand layers of folds, Cao Feng looked at Li Nianen fiercely: "What are you talking nonsense about this old eunuch? The Queen Mother is my own sister, why won't she help me? If I didn't want to, let alone a Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, even if I wanted to be a pavilion elder, my sister wouldn't allow it!"

"Presumptuous!"

Emperor Zhaode seemed to be angry, he stood up as soon as he slapped the table, staring at Cao Fengxi angrily, he seemed to press the turbidity in his chest again and again, and then flicked his sleeves:

"Someone came, take Shoucheng Hou into custody, and order Jin Yiwei to go to Shoucheng Hou's Mansion to collect 300,000 taels of silver to offset his sins back then!"

Shou Chenghou was about to speak, but he was gagged by the four rats, and several eunuchs and guards dragged him out.

Outside the Wuying Palace, there is the corridor of the six branches, and the civil officials in the six departments in the room heard the sound in front of the hall and poked their heads out, and saw the Shou Chenghou who was dragged out.

Li Congyuan saw this scene and sighed lightly, Zhuang Chang Xin, the servant of the Ministry of Servants standing beside him, glanced at him, and lowered his eyes as if to say to himself: "Over the years, Your Majesty has been treating the Cao family in every way in the face of the Queen Mother, and this time in order to check the Taifu Temple, he will take his own uncle as soon as he comes up, I am afraid that His Majesty is really going to move this time."

The speaker seems to have no intention.

The listener naturally has a heart.

Soon, Zhuang Shilang's words and Li Ge Lao's sigh became various versions of legends, and flew to various high-ranking families in Yanjing City.

frightened many people touched the back of their heads, their necks were not as hard as His Majesty's own uncle.

By the time Jinyiwei really went to the Shoucheng Marquis's Mansion to move boxes of silver, the entire Gulou Street, which was full of dignitaries and dignitaries, seemed to be three points quieter than usual.

"It's really quiet, why hasn't the Marquis of Shoucheng's Mansion ordered five hundred elite soldiers to kill him?"

On the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Zhao Surui was bored and ate a bad pig's ear, and the crispy bones were crushed by him.

Liu Tianxing, who had just learned how to use a stick with Tu Nan, had the courage to clip a chopstick's pig ear, and under Zhao Surui's gaze, she changed from clamping three to clamping one, and carefully put it into her mouth.

"Young lady, don't worry, the later they come, the deeper the pit outside us." ….

"Hmph, what do you know?" Zhao Surui glanced at her, and took a small sip of jasmine wine smoked out of autumn dew, this wine was made by Shen Sanru in the past, and it was just this small jar, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao Surui was reluctant to drink it because he wanted to have a good time. "Shoucheng Hou Cao Fengxi's neck is empty, a whole wine bag and rice bag, and there is only that little bit of heart and eyes, half of which is used to hold grudges and half used to be greedy for money. It is said that he has suffered such a big loss, and he has not moved until now, either because his brain is broken, or he has been persuaded by others."

After speaking, Zhao Surui took another sip of wine.

It's called jasmine wine, but it seems to be a little spicier than the already mellow and spicy Qiu Lubai, Zhao Surui was almost choked, and put a bad pig's ear with a big chopsticks into his mouth.

There are only two people who can persuade his waste uncle, one is his uncle who hates to drink to death in the Qinglou, and the other is his queen mother.

These two people have another thing in common in Zhao Surui, that is, they both make him uncomfortable.

Especially his mother.

Zhao Surui took another sip of wine, so that he didn't think of those bad things back then.

"Young lady, you're wrong, right? You just said Shou Cheng Hou neck

The top of the son is empty, how can you say that his brain is broken?"

Liu Tianxing said, while taking advantage of the young lady's lack of time to watch her while drinking, she pulled several pig ears into her mouth.

Zhao Surui didn't want to talk to this fool anymore.

Fools talk to fools!

"I said the top of his neck was empty, and he didn't really have a head! I see the top of your neck is empty!"

"Not really! I can eat and talk to the young lady, and I have a head on my neck."

Zhao Surui suddenly felt as if he couldn't even say a fool.

Just when our wise and martial Emperor Zhaode was seriously considering whether to knock Liu Tianxing's head with a wine bottle, Ah Chi led a woman wearing a lilac-colored jasmine head jacket and a treasure flower and gemstone hairpin on her head to walk in.

Zhao Surui squinted his eyes, and saw the woman smile and said:

"This is Shen Niangzi? My maiden name is Han, and I was an old acquaintance with your mother back then, so you might as well call me Aunt Han."

Aunt Han?

Zhao Surui looked at his little aunt, rubbed his head and stood up from the chair.

"Mrs. Baoping Hou is so valuable, I don't dare to climb relatives casually, why did you come to me?"

Drinking in the courtyard during the day, sitting or standing or standing, such a woman ordinary woman even if she can't see it on her face, she has to recite two sentences of "no rules" in her heart, but Han Shi seems to be invisible, and only looks at "Shen Shiqing" with a pair of smiling eyes.

"I don't have a false relationship with you, I came to you to be entrusted by my sister-in-law, Mrs. Shouchenghou, the family of Shouchenghou's mansion offended your family, she was ashamed, I will say a few words."

Liu Tianxing saw that a magnificent lady had already stood up and stepped aside, and Han was not polite, and sat down in her place.

"This wine is fragrant, is it soaked in jasmine with autumn dew? The aroma is more positive than the one coming out on the side, so would you like to pour me a glass?"

Zhao Surui looked at his little aunt, and even suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.

Since he became an adult, he has rarely seen these female relatives of his mother's family, but he still has an impression of his two aunts.

The eldest aunt is the daughter of the county order, and she only knows that she is submissive to her uncle, and her aunt's father is a scholar of the academy, probably because she is stupid in reading, and she seems to be a wood that can blink in the palace.

Because his queen mother pressed the emperor's father and did not allow him to choose a concubine, the Cao family was afraid of causing trouble to his mother and did not dare to let his two uncles divorce their wives and marry another, Zhao Surui always felt that his two aunts were the two living archways of the Cao family.

One reads, "The wife of the chaff does not go to court."

One reads, "As long as the back house is good".

Unexpectedly, his little uncle lingered in the Qinglou, and his little aunt was also ...... Is she a heroine in wine?

I took another cup and drank a few glasses of wine.

Han patted Shen Shiqing's hand: "Don't pay attention to Cao Fengxi's fool, he is a big waste of Tianzi No. 1!" Sooner or later, my sister-in-law will be affected! You have a chance to get revenge on him! You don't have to fight him hard at this time, give your Aunt Han a face, let's not worry about it for now."

Zhao Surui: "...... Oh.".
