Let the Liu family approve.

To be more precise, to make Concubine Liu Qingjing recognize Li Kui's brother-in-law, you only need to do one thing.

Step on Empress Meng.

If one foot is not enough, step more.

Liu Qingjing and Empress Meng both entered the palace on the same day, and after entering the palace, they both started from the same starting point, and they were female officials. said that they were female officials, but in fact, they were all the preparatory daughters-in-law of the little emperor Zhao Xu. But in a blink of an eye, people have become imperial cities, and they are still beautiful. This is enough to make Liu Qingjing go crazy, why? Everyone is here to be a prospective daughter-in-law to try marriage, why did you become the queen of the Meng family, and the Liu family wanted to be a dwarf and start from a young age?

Back then, the Empress Dowager Xuanren chose a queen for Zhao Xu, and she took great pains. The first batch of 100 girls are all young girls of school age selected from among the military generals and concubines above the fifth grade. is either the same age as Zhao Xu, or one or two years younger than Zhao Xu. The family background is similar, and there is almost no difference in identity and status. Liu Qingqian's father is Du Yuhou, a five-rank military general. Meng's father was the commander of Ma Jun and the general of Wupin. Meng's standing out really made Liu Qingjing jealous.

They are all here to give birth to a son to the emperor, and everyone has no goods in their stomachs, so why should you be the lord of the six palaces?

Liu Qingjing was the first to disagree!

It can be said that the moment Li Kui stood up and accused Empress Meng of ignoring the ethics of Gangchang, at the moment when Meng knelt, Liu Qingjing recognized Li Kui as her brother-in-law, and no one recognized him, only Li Kui.

Women are sometimes so strange, as long as they target her enemies, the next moment, they become relatives.

It's a pity that although Liu Qingjing is very favored in front of the emperor, she really doesn't have much right to speak in the harem. What made Liu Qingjing wonder was why the female officials who attacked with her all looked at Queen Meng as the horse, but were afraid of her like a snake and scorpion? It didn't make sense, and it made her angry. She really hoped that after Empress Meng was rude in the court, the courtiers would be disgusted with the emperor's main palace lady, and then ...... She took her place.

If you don't want to be the queen's concubine, you are not a good concubine.

In the main hall, Li Kui was escorted down by Han Deqin with the warriors in front of the palace.

Escorted out of the main hall, Li Kui and Han Deqin laughed and said: "Old Han, it's almost enough, do you think that just a few of your subordinates can catch me?" ”

Han Deqin was helpless, but he didn't dare to make excessive moves, and said with a wry smile: "Li Kui, are you making trouble without reason?" I really don't want to be an official anymore? ”

Li Kuihun didn't care and said, "You really think I'm the mastermind, right?" ”

Han Deqin was taken aback by Li Kui's open-mindedness, and waved his hand to the warriors in front of the palace under him: "Go and watch around, don't let people come." When there was no one around, Han Deqin complained: "Renjie, you don't take your brother seriously too much, why don't you give your brother a reminder for such an important matter?" Brother treats you well on weekdays. ”

"One yard to one yard, two different things." Li Kui moved his hands and feet for a moment, and then he spoke: "You are not qualified." ”

"I'm a dignified former general, you still say that I'm not qualified, do you have to be a third prince like Taiwei to be like you?" Han Deqin said angrily, but his reason for being angry was not sufficient. Gong Chang didn't let him get involved, not necessarily because his official position was too small, but because it had nothing to do with his duties.

On the surface, these words completely angered Han Deqin, and his dignified general was not enough to participate in such an important palace change?

If it was an ordinary thing, Han Deqin wouldn't care about it, but the palace change is going to kill people. And the people who died were not small people, why many families suddenly disappeared from the court, it was because when the palace changed, they stood on the wrong team, and finally were liquidated as losers.

If Han Deqin were an ordinary thing, he would not have touched his military power at all. But palace change is one of the few major events that can directly threaten his life. If you really keep it in the dark, it's easy to be buried by accident.

He complained that it was false, but inquired about the news that it was true.

"You're not a civil official!" Li Kui hurt people when he opened his mouth, giving the general in front of the palace a heavy blow to his heart.

Han Deqin, whose momentum had just risen, wilted all of a sudden. scolded in his heart: "It's not a thing, what's wrong with you not being a civil official?" ”

Li Kui doesn't care whether Han Deqin is happy or not, anyway, he also knows that as the supreme commander of the Great Song Dynasty to protect the palace and the capital, if Han Deqin is blind to the things in front of him and doesn't know anything, he is indeed very passive. At the same time, it's easy to make wrong judgments. Especially when Han Deqin still has military power in his hands, he needs to be even more cautious.

Although the Great Song army needed a military order from the Privy Council and a commander appointed by the emperor to carry out military operations.

But Han Deqin said that he was also the commander of the Fourth Army, and he didn't let him know about it, and there was an emperor's mistake. It can be said that Zhao Xu had no experience with palace coups at all.

Moreover, the unstable morale of the Fourth Army will directly affect the entire court.

In fact, Emperor Zhao Xu also thought about this problem. But he didn't pay attention to it, the reason is very simple, Zhao Xu didn't want to take the opportunity to abolish the Queen Mother, but wanted to make his biological mother the Queen Mother. This request is reasonable, even if the Queen Mother has been pretending to be stupid, she also knows that once this matter is discussed in the court, then she can only back down. It's about royal decency.

When the time comes, the courtiers and magnates will be on the emperor's side.

It's useless to be vexatious. The emperor did nothing wrong, and at the same time, the emperor's demands should be met.

But Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't accept the emperor's conspiracy to achieve his goals, which made her, the former master of the Six Palaces, very passive and had been forced into a corner.

Li Kui's difference between civilian officials and military generals has made Han Deqin flinch, but it doesn't mean that he is not ready to tell Han Deqin: "Do you know the truth?" ”

Han Deqin hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "Renjie, you should understand that the sooner I know, the better it will be for Your Majesty." The affairs in the hall are already overwhelmed, but how it ends depends on who will back down between the saint and His Majesty. But...... Forgive my brother for saying bluntly, if you just rely on a few words, I don't know the true or false edict, the concubine wants to give the queen mother, it is difficult to ascend to the sky. ”

Li Kui nodded and said, "That's right, since that's the case, I'll say I can tell you." ”

"I am grateful, I will be able to use my brother's place in the future, please speak up." Han Deqin's heart can finally be put down, what he is most afraid of now is to order the Queen Mother to order him to send troops to besiege the palace, and the emperor will also give the same order, and then the palace will be the same as water and fire, so that no matter what the outcome is, Han Deqin will be unlucky.

As for why His Majesty didn't tell him, Han Deqin also understood that he was a military general who came out of the gate, and the military general fell to the empress dowager of the two palaces for more than ten years, which has made the emperor very dissatisfied.

Now that His Majesty relies on the courtiers to change the law, the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably experience several foreign wars in the future, but it does not mean that the trust in the generals will increase much.

In particular, the innate antagonistic position between military generals and civilian officials was the result of the deliberate actions of the imperial power.

Li Kui said truthfully: "Your Majesty can't accept the fact that her biological mother is not the Queen Mother, and at the same time, the Queen Mother Xiang is unwilling to back down, even if Your Majesty gives enough benefits, but it doesn't let the Queen Mother Xiang relax." In the long run, His Majesty's identity will be very embarrassing. He is the heir of the Empress Dowager Xiang, which means that the Empress Dowager Xiang has more influence on him than the Empress Dowager Xuanren. ”

Influence is fake, deterrence is real. A crime of unfilial piety can make the emperor panic for the rest of his life.

Han Deqin didn't need Li Kui to continue, he already understood the thorn in the emperor's heart.

This is a problem left over from the Empress Dowager Xuanren, the emperor himself cannot confer the title of Concubine Zhu as the empress dowager, if it is proposed to the empress dowager, the courtiers will not have an opinion. But if His Majesty proposes to oppose it to the Queen Mother, it will be a huge blow to the Emperor's authority. But since Li Kui dares to poke things out, even if he is a nobody, there will definitely be big people standing on the platform in the follow-up, hammering the matter of the edict and making it an iron case.

Then Your Majesty will lose a lot, and in the end you will have to bear the charge of unfilial piety.

Han Deqin had already guessed a little, but after being confirmed by Li Kui, he suddenly became transparent: "Renjie, although this matter is very important to Your Majesty, it also has a good side for the courtiers. Especially Zhang Xiang and others, there will be a lot less worries in the future, but what about you? Why bother? ”

If Li Yun asked him this question, he would definitely be full of indifference and said: "The benefits of the emperor depend on how much the emperor benefits, and the greater the benefits the emperor gets, the greater the benefits to the masters." ”

After all, he is his own person, and he can speak without scruples.

But I can't say anything about Han Deqin, an outsider, Li Kui said: "Someone has to do it, others don't do it because others are cowardly and cowardly, I, Li Kui, am an eight-foot man, even if the world suffers from me, for Your Majesty, I will not give up!" ”

"Good job, brother admires." Han Deqin's exaggeration seems to have really moved him by Li Kui's feat. But the eyes can't deceive people, staring at Li Kui like a fool.

Then he smiled bitterly, how many fools are there in the civil officials?

I'm afraid that Li Kui will be unlucky on the surface, and even go to prison, but in the end, this kid will get more benefits than anyone else. The key is the authenticity of the edict.

But Han Deqin also wondered, if the edict was true, wouldn't it have been taken out long ago?

Why do you need to take it out for more than half a year?

But if it's fake, Li Kui's courage is a little bigger, right? It's exciting to think about it, it's no less than using poop to make the queen mother's old lady confused.

"The Empress Dowager's decree, Li Kui offended the holy face, and the court staff in front of the palace was eighty!"

"Hit whom!"

It was Gao Yu who came in a hurry, and from a distance, you could still see a eunuch chasing Gao Yu. But the eunuchs in the palace have not practiced, can they catch up with the king of the Great Song Dynasty?

He ran so fast, he came to report the news, and the moment he saw Li Kui, he pulled Li Kui and complained: "Renjie, you are crazy, this matter is also involved?" Don't die! ”

While speaking, he also motioned with his eyes to Li Kui to lie on the ground and wait for the court staff.

Li Kui doesn't care, the stick of the court staff shouldn't hurt as the iron rod hitting his body, right?

But Gao Yu's words also made Li Kui hear some useful information, and he raised his head and asked Gao Yu: "Who is distinguishing the authenticity of the edict?" ”

"Crazy, crazy!" Gao Yu jumped like thunder, he didn't think about being rich and rich, and he also couldn't see his friends in trouble. Especially Li Kuizuo died so that he didn't have a chance to say a word. Gong Change, is also something you can participate in?

Gao Yu was worried that Li Kui would be imprisoned because of this incident and ruin his future.

But Li Kui didn't care about this, but grabbed Gao Yu's boots and asked: "Tell me what happened after I was escorted out of the hall." ”

Gao Yu glanced back, Hao Sui also came out, and suddenly calmed down a little, and said eagerly: "Xing Shu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, you should know that he picked up the edict and handed it to Zhang Xiang." After that, Zhang Xiang recognized the handwriting on it and asked the privy envoy Li Qingchen. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have taken the initiative in this matter. That's right, Li Qingchen returned to Beijing earlier than him and served as an official of the Hanlin Bachelor. But what is incomprehensible is that Zhang Xiang seems to be also fueling the fire. I don't know what happened after that......"

"And what are you worried about?"

The process of forcing the palace will come little by little, as long as Li Qingchen is involved, then several protagonists in the conspiracy will end up one after another. This will be of great benefit to alleviating the contradictions between His Majesty and the conservatives.

I believe that if Fan Chunren and the others are excited, they should follow the emperor's wishes.

But these are meaningless to Gao Yu, what he is worried about is Li Kui, Zhang Dian, Li Qingchen, these ministers, all bigwigs in the court, how can their interests be considered for a small person like Li Kui?

What if these people want to sacrifice Li Kui in order to appease the anger of the Queen Mother?

Didn't this Li Kui die in vain?

Of course, he won't really want Li Kui's life, but what if he forced the emperor to issue an edict to reduce Li Kui's nationality to the people and never hire him?

In this way, Li Kui's efforts over the years will not be in vain?

Bang Bang –

Li Kui was beaten on the ground and received two sticks, so he felt that it was not for, did he look down on the master's horizontal kung fu, and turned his head to the warrior in front of the palace who was tortured: "I haven't eaten, scratch it?" Hit hard! ”

Li Kui has practiced kung fu since he was a child, he is an iron man who has gone from one extreme of martial arts to another, like a tickling cane, how boring is it?

At least it hurts, right?

But Li Kui's request frightened the eunuchs who came to supervise the execution, and Han Deqin was even more sweaty, and he couldn't figure out how such a good thing could let him blend into the ranks of civil officials.

Even the warriors in front of the palace were dumbfounded, although they had never beaten civil officials, but in the palace, it was common for eunuchs and palace maids to be beaten, as soon as the stick fell on the body, it was indispensable to roll and wail, but what about Li Kui?

Let them use their strength, and dislike them for beating lightly.

Out of a cold sweat, blown by the wind, the yin swished made Han Deqin shiver, gritted his teeth and said, "Hit hard!" ”

The two warriors raised their sticks high and fell down with a snap, but Li Kui didn't say a word, it seemed that something was wrong, why didn't he hurt too much, not to mention that after this beating, the flesh and blood were blurred and he couldn't stand up.

Finally, after the fight, the two samurai trembled and spread on the ground, Han Deqin saw this, and muttered: "The performance is good, it is finally a bad deal." ”

"My lord, we really used all our strength, and we didn't pretend to show people." One of them whispered to Han Deqin, the shock in their hearts.

And Li Kui was escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department after the court cane.

Seeing that Li Kui was still wearing a green robe, the eyes of the cell boss in the prison were shining, and he said in his heart, the fat sheep is here!
