Ministers welcome the Queen Mother! ”

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

The Queen Mother, surrounded by female officials, ascended to the throne. After all, it was a banquet, and the dragon chair could not be used, so it was lined up in the main hall. According to the regulations, the queen mother will wait for the courtiers to congratulate her on her birthday, and then the head of the harem, that is, the queen, will lead the harem concubines to congratulate the queen mother.

This ceremony was very cumbersome, but fortunately, Li Kui and Xing Shu didn't care.

They hid by the pillars of the main hall and whispered.

"Brother Renjie!" Facing Li Kui, who was resolute and trusted by the emperor, Xing Shu didn't mind lowering his seniority and calling Li Kui a brother.

Seeing Li Kui despise him before, he was still angry.

Now that I think about it, there are reasons for all these grievances.

Li Kui said: "You prepare first, if it really doesn't work, I'll go!" ”

Originally, Li Kui planned to volunteer to be this unpopular arsonist. However, the emperor thought that Li Kui's official position was too low, and his influence was not enough to make major events twice the result with half the effort.

Li Kui understood that this was the emperor's deliberate protection of him.

The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of how big the officials are, the prime minister of the first grade, was stabbed down by the imperial history of the seventh grade, that is the norm.

In this way, Li Kui's official position is not a problem at all. There is a problem, the emperor is reluctant to take Li Kui on the future of ten years, or even longer, to be this meaningless bird. At this point, it is no longer so important whether it is the 'edict' that Li Kui poked out.

Xing Shu was ordered to take on a heavy responsibility.

But when it came, Xing Shu was intimidated, he had never been so nervous. Even if he wanted to plot against Wang Jue back then, it was in his own mansion and on his own territory, and his confidence could increase a few points. What's more, it was Cai Cheng who came forward at that time, Cai Jing was behind his back, and he was scaring Wang Qi on the side. As for not doing it in the end, it was really because Wang Qi was more cowardly than they imagined.

Before the murder weapon was revealed, Wang Jue knelt, this is also the prime minister?

can let Xing Shu throw a fire at the Queen Mother in the palace, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he still can't do this kind of thing.

He's always been the kind of guy who hides behind his back, and he's not the kind of person who charges into battle at all.

Xing Shu saw contempt in Li Kui's eyes, and he was helpless: "I don't want to do this either!" But the problem is that now that my legs and stomach are weak, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand up at a critical time, which will delay His Majesty's major affairs. ”

Even if Xing Shu is despised, he has no temper, and at this time, as long as he can throw the edict in his hand to Li Kui, he will kowtow to Li Kui. Because after handing over the edict, as the initiator, in order to get rid of the involvement, resignation is an inevitable procedure. In order to appease the anger of the Queen Mother, the emperor will most likely agree, or transfer her out of the capital.

Leaving the capital, God knows when you will be able to return.

Xing Shu is greedy for the official position of the government, but he is not tossing blindly with Li Kui for the sake of death. If he is allowed to leave the capital, even if he has already patted his chest in private to be loyal to the emperor, but above the main hall, I am afraid that he will be the first to turn against the water.

Xing Shu looked at Su Zhe worriedly, who was sitting precariously and didn't pay attention to him at all. made him a boss boring, and whispered to Li Kui: "Beware of Su Zhe, if he turns against the water, we will be miserable." ”

Li Kui was very calm, poured himself a cup of fruit syrup, and drank sweet and silky, which was a little not in line with his appetite, the meatloaf was still cold, and the level of the imperial kitchen in the palace was worrying. While eating, he said to Xing Shu nonchalantly: "Master Su has promised not to interfere in this matter, which means that he will not question the edict you drafted." ”

"It's not me, it's Li Qingchen."

Xing Shu hurriedly cleared himself, of course he couldn't get rid of it, could he clear it?

In fact, everyone thinks that Xing Shu is the mastermind, and Li Kui is just an unlucky guy who is used by Xing Shu.

Only Li Kui can explain this matter to Xing Shu clearly, but Li Kui would do such a stupid thing?

Especially the edict written by Li Qingchen, although the words were written by Li Qingchen, the problem is that the content of the edict was dictated by Xing Shu himself, and no one would think that the scheming Xing Shu would be Li Kui's puppet. was forcibly tied to the chariot by Li Kui and charged into battle.

Li Kui saw that Xing Shu couldn't turn the corner now, and he still had to fight over the rights and wrongs of the mastermind behind the scenes, as for it?

But at this time, it was not the time to dismantle the stage, Li Kui encouraged Xing Shu and said: "Ninety-nine bows have been bowed, so it's not bad for this last trembling." Lord Xing, you can't make a mistake at a critical time. ”

"Oh, I hope so!"

The birthday greetings have begun, and it is no longer realistic to want to stop.

Zhao Xu took the civil and military ministers to greet the Queen Mother who was sitting on the main seat.

"I wish the queen mother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan!"

"Ministers......"

Li Kui couldn't stand in front at this time, and returned to a group of green-robed colleagues with a frown. Wu Yue saw Li Kui standing next to him and asked in a low voice, "Renjie, are you all right?" ”

"Xing Shu may have diarrhea!"

Li Kui saw that Xing Shu was wrong, this guy couldn't control the big scene, if he really made him the target of the public, I am afraid that as soon as this guy stood up, he would have to retreat.

As one of the conspirators and the most innocent official, Wu Yue also wanted to make great contributions, and also wanted to leave some impression in the emperor's heart, although when the conspiracy was really to be implemented, he would definitely be nervous, but thinking of the great credit at his fingertips, Wu Yue was even more reluctant, and leaned forward with his head hanging down: "What should I do?" You can't prepare so much, and in the end, you can't do it, right? ”

"If someone volunteers to shout, it will be done when the concubine comes."

The time will soon come, and the concubines in the palace will follow the courtiers to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday. As long as the concubine stands next to the queen, or even behind the queen, there is an opportunity to make trouble.

When the emperor saw this scene, he was probably very uncomfortable.

And this discomfort, the emperor has already experienced it several times. It's just that this time made him even more angry, he was pro-government, but he wanted to see his biological mother following behind his queen and wishing his mother-in-law a birthday. This kind of humiliation is experienced once a year, but this time it is the strongest feeling.

Xiang Xiang was happy with the Empress Dowager and instructed the emperor: "Official, please also invite all your ministers to sit down and drink!" ”

"Sons obey orders!"

Although Zhao Xu lowered her head, the Empress Dowager Xiang knew that her heir was resentful, but what was this? Now that the Empress Dowager Xuanren is gone, there is no one who can suppress the emperor. Even she, the queen mother, could only take a look at the tragedy between Zhao Xu and his biological mother on her birthday, who was obviously a mother and son, but asked her mother to salute her son.

This is also the best time of the year for Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhu, although your son is the emperor, but what? When you see the mourning family, you have to bow as well.

Even if you see your son, it's the same, what kind of life do you have to live like you?

Resentment is a poisonous weed, grows, grows, and becomes a large patch.

After the courtiers retreated, Li Kui deliberately hid by the pillars of the main hall, and from the seat where he stood, he could just see Xing Shu's banquet seat. The eunuchs began to prepare, followed by the concubines in the palace, and finally the women with their identities. It still needs to be of a good grade, and Li Kui's wife does not have such a good thing as a turn.

Xing Shu touched his handkerchief and nodded lightly on his forehead, getting closer and closer to the time to read the edict, he was really as he said to Li Kui, his hands were trembling, not to mention his legs and feet, he couldn't stand up at all. The sweat on his body was densely profuse, and his underwear was already soaked, sticky and sucked on his skin.

There seemed to be a voice in his ear saying to him, "Give up, you can't do it!" ”

"Give it up! You can't do it! ”

It seems that after shouting a few times in his heart, Xing Shu really has an urge to give up. He didn't even feel that there was one more person standing beside him.

"Give it to me!" The attention of the courtiers was at the gate of the main hall, and Li Kui took the opportunity to come to Xing Shu's side.

"Ahh

Xing Shu was taken aback and screamed, but realized that this was the place for the royal banquet in the palace, and immediately covered his mouth and did not dare to squeak.

Only then did he panic and handed over the edict that covered the ground a little damp to Li Kui. At this time, a large group of palace maids entered the main hall from outside the hall, lined up in the center of the main hall, separated the road with their bodies, and the palace ceremonial music sounded, and Zhao Xu's queen Queen Meng, with many palace concubines and concubines, did not walk up the steps of the main hall and entered the palace.

They will not stay in the Daqing Palace, and after celebrating their birthdays, they will leave immediately and go to the harem to taste the wine banquet.

Just go through the motions.

After the concubine congratulates, the concubine will leave immediately.

The concubines of the Shenzong era, if they didn't have children, they basically went to the royal Taoist temple to cultivate, and those who stayed in the palace were basically the concubines who gave birth to the prince and the princess, and then Zhao Xu's concubines. I have to say that Zhao Xu has a large number of concubines, and there are more than 100 of them alone, which is already very huge.

I don't know what the Empress Dowager Xuanren thought at the beginning, hoping that her grandson would be silent in her daughter's country all day long and be a faint king?

The strange thing is that on weekdays, the Empress Dowager Xuanren is quite strict with Zhao Xu's discipline, and it doesn't look like she wants to let the emperor go and push towards the unscrupulous monarch.

If you want to say that you can discipline Zhao Xu, right?

If you really want to talk about it, when Zhao Xu was a teenager, the Empress Dowager Xuanren recruited a hundred female officials into the palace at one time, and in the next two years, there will be supplements, these are all girls, where are the female officials? It can be said that Zhao Xu's current concubines are all playmates of childhood sweethearts who grew up together. What's worse is that the emperor knows that hundreds of sweet-looking and beautiful playmates are all his wives......

They are also allowed to play together and cultivate feelings together.

It doesn't matter when you are a child, but when you are older, can Zhao Xu's nutrition keep up?

Can his small body hold it?

Li Kui squinted his eyes and watched the concubine's procession enter from the entrance of the main hall, and the virtuous concubine was not at the front. But Li Kui recognized the other party at a glance, and his appearance was similar to Liu Qingqian, so he didn't talk about his appearance, otherwise the emperor would not have been fascinated. Especially the pair of eyes are very bright, there seems to be a strange flow of brilliance, the key is the kind of light pace, revealing a kind of graceful and luxurious arrogance.

This should be the favorite queen model of young boys.

Li Kui secretly glanced at the emperor, and asked Xing Shu a little absentmindedly: "Which one is the saint?" ”

"The one on the queen's right is, before celebrating her birthday, you just have to stand up and question it with Gangchang, but the biological mother has to salute her daughter-in-law. As long as Empress Meng's momentum is suppressed, as long as Meng kneels down in front of Concubine Zhu, my big things will be considered ninety. There is no need to challenge the Queen Mother. Because the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the emperor's face was beaten by his own family, and if he wanted to get it back, he could only let Concubine Zhu be the queen mother. ”

"When the time comes, you take out the prepared edict, and no one will stand up against it. Even if the clansmen of the Xiang clan oppose it, they can only oppose it in their hearts. Because of the general trend, they can't resist it. Even if you don't have the opportunity to hand over the edict, I can hand the edict to Zhang Xiang and let them even distinguish the authenticity, as long as they say it is true, then it is true. ”

Returning to the position of making suggestions, Xing Shu seemed to come back to life. I don't feel nervous anymore, and I don't break out in a cold sweat. The whole person is clear-eyed, and he can also remind Li Kui of the things to pay attention to.

Obviously, this is the identity that Xing Shu likes and is used to the most.

And with the whispers of the two, Queen Meng and the concubines had already entered the middle of the hall. At this time, even Emperor Zhao Xu's cheeks flushed nervously, and the more he saw the smiling bright old face of the Empress Dowager, the more angry his heart became. But the closer the incident became, the more nervous Zhao Xu became, and even Hao Sui secretly stuffed a handkerchief for the emperor, asking Zhao Xu to secretly wipe his sweat so that no one could see the traces.

At this time, Queen Meng and the concubines in the palace had already stood less than five or six meters in front of the Queen Mother, and then they were going to kneel and sing a congratulatory message.

"Concubine rate ......"

Xing Shu wanted to remind Li Kui that it was your turn to play.

Li Kui had already prepared, jumped up and roared: "Slow! ”

As far as Li Kui's voice was concerned, the tigers in the mountains might not be able to roar at him, and suddenly howled in the hall, which immediately frightened many people. They all looked at Li Kui stupidly, and they didn't know what kind of bear-hearted leopard gall the big red man in front of the emperor had eaten, and he had just made trouble at the queen mother's birthday banquet?

Do you really think that you can rely on the emperor's favor and do whatever you want? If you really lose etiquette, make the emperor lose face, and even anger the emperor, Li Kui's career will be done in the end.

Li Kui suddenly roared in the hall, and many officials buzzed in their ears, this guy has such a powerful mouth. In the first year of Shaosheng, perhaps the champion Ma Yu may not be known to every courtier, but if you want to talk about Tanhualang Li Kui, it can be said that all the officials who work in the imperial city have seen it. Most of the officials who see him on weekdays have to smile and shake their heads and smile bitterly. seems to be worthy of Li Kui's idleness.

In the crowd, how can you not know the existence of a general flock.

Li Kui strode in front of Empress Meng, bowed down and said to Concubine Zhu: "I've seen the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Xiang was originally sitting on the main seat, and she was scared enough by Li Kui's voice. It's okay to lose his heart, but if he is really scared to death by Li Kui, even if he has an iron head, I'm afraid he will have to eat the prison food on Shamen Island.

Fortunately, Xiang Xianghou was only frightened, but after Li Kui saluted Concubine Zhu and called him 'Queen Mother', he suddenly woke up. This is a rebellion!

Empress Dowager Xiang got up from her seat angrily, pointed at Li Kui and said angrily: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" ”

But Li Kui's opportunity was so fleeting, he didn't bother with the Queen Mother at all, but pointed to Queen Meng to take the lead: "I am filial piety, and the minister dares to ask the queen, you are the head of the six palaces, the mother of the world, dare to let Your Majesty's biological mother be subservient to you?" ”

"What is the Code of Ethics like?"

"The daughter-in-law receives the mother-in-law's salute, and the beast does it!"

……

Rao is the bold and reckless concubine Liu Qingjing, seeing Li Kui's momentum rising to the sky, she clenched her little fists excitedly and lowered her head, I don't know whether she is laughing or excited. A thousand words in my heart converged into one sentence: "The good brother-in-law that the fifth child is looking for is simply fascinating!" ”

And Empress Meng was even more unbearable, completely frightened by Li Kui's momentum, and in the face of the helpless Concubine Zhu, she fell to her knees with a puff.

Li Kui took out the 'fake edict' that had been prepared a long time ago, stood in the main hall and said loudly: "This matter will definitely not be a humiliation for my Great Song Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Xuanren has already left an edict. The minister found the clue in the Wende Hall to sort out the copywriting, and now it is made public, and I ask you to judge...... True and False......"

"Take it, take it!"

"Han Deqin, why are you still stunned?"

……

Li Kui was escorted down by Han Deqin, but the edict was left in the main hall, very close to Xing Shu, Xing Shu pretended to pick it up and read it, handed it to Li Qingchen and said: "Brother Bangzhi, this edict seems to be true." ”

Li Qingchen glanced at Xing Shu angrily, is it really fake, you didn't count it in your heart?
