Here, Empress Dowager Tao, who followed the Empress Dowager to the Great Dynasty Meeting, still felt cold in her hands and feet.

I always thought that her position as the queen mother in power was very stable, but when the queen mother Sheng was easily suppressed, she found that as long as the queen mother was there, it was impossible for her, the queen mother, to control the court situation completely.

At the court meeting, the Dali Temple Sicheng who was supposed to appear did not appear, but the news of the death of the nunnery came.

The Empress Dowager was furious, and during the national funeral, this was a taboo, and she ordered the golden gong to whip the corpse and raid the house.

How many of the courtiers at the court meeting were confused? They all saw that this was the meaning of the fall of Empress Dowager Sheng.

Sure enough, after the Empress Dowager temporarily appointed Su Peng, the king of Lin'an County, as the temporary representative of Dali Temple, she confessed several big cases to him in public.

The embezzlement case of Chen Zhimiao, the secretary of the military department, the case of Xue Zhi, the commander of the Lin army, who forced civilians to death, and the case of Jing'an Hou collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Each of these cases sounds thrilling and chills in people's hearts.

I'm afraid that from today onwards, the era of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will pass the era.

The Empress Dowager also ordered the province to send a copy of all the reports to the Empress Dowager Tao to Cining Palace on the grounds that "the Empress Dowager is young".

This trick can be regarded as the official announcement of the old man to end his retirement life, re-enter the court, and participate in court politics.

Empress Dowager Tao's father, Prime Minister Tao Cheng, stood up and found an excuse that "the Empress Dowager is old and should cultivate her life".

As soon as Prime Minister Tao's words landed, some ministers came out to object: "If you want to say that you are old, Prime Minister Tao is no younger than the Queen Mother." If the Empress Dowager wants to recuperate, then most of the ministers in the court should withdraw from the court. ”

Another old minister came out to scold Prime Minister Tao, "Prime Minister Tao is not afraid that the Empress Dowager will rob Empress Dowager Tao's authority, right?" ”

Several powerful ministers came out one after another to speak for the Empress Dowager.

In this way, no one dared to oppose the Empress Dowager's participation in court politics.

The Empress Dowager acted vigorously and immediately issued several edicts.

ordered Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Chengjing Xiao to temporarily take over the post of Fu Yin;

ordered the Duke of Qi to act as the secretary of the Ministry of War;

ordered the Marquis of Luyang to temporarily take over the post of commander of the Imperial Forest Army;

ordered the Zongren Mansion and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the serious case of the Imperial Historical Observatory;

ordered the courtiers to fold, analyze the pros and cons, and choose a new king;

Ordering the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to save expenses;

……

This court meeting seems to have a bit of a reshuffle, and when the dynasty was dispersed, how many ministers did not come back to it.

Not to mention the courtiers, even the Empress Dowager Tao was stunned.

Why did this fall a Queen Mother Sheng, and another Queen Mother came to grab her power?

And it is obvious that the Empress Dowager has a higher rank and higher status, and as soon as many old ministers speak today, those courtiers who originally supported her will not stand up.

And Concubine Xue, who was pretending to be poisoned in the palace, never expected that what she was waiting for was not the news of Yang Mu's detention, but the minister of the Zongren Mansion who came to interrogate.

Zongrenfu came with the imperial doctor, unlike the imperial doctor who was bought, this time it was a consultation with three imperial doctors, and it was quickly diagnosed that Concubine Xue was not poisoned.

Concubine Xue was taken away like this and went to the Zongren Mansion.

With Concubine Xue as an example, the concubines in the palace were born in peace all of a sudden.

Yang Mu finally got a good night's sleep.

Yin Jingxiao, the newly appointed Jingzhao Mansion, has excellent ability to handle affairs, but in just three days, the cases of Cao's mother and daughter killing Princess Xianding and murdering Wang Shizi have been sorted out.

When the entire explanation of the case and the folding of the evidence chain were handed over to the Empress Dowager, the old man summoned Lin Mao and Lin Xiao as his wife.

After a few people saw the excerpt, Lin Xiao's eyes turned red again.

Lin Mao's face was calm, he knelt down slowly, kowtowed, and said, "Empress Dowager, please ask for a heavy sentence on Cao's mother and daughter!" ”

The Empress Dowager looked at her brother-in-law, and only after a while did she look at Lin Xiao and ask, "What does Brother Xiao mean?" ”

Lin Xiao also knelt down, raised his head and said, "The revenge of killing my mother is not shared!" ”

Yang Mu knelt down against Lin Xiao and said, "The Empress Dowager, such a vicious woman should be severely punished to set an example!" ”

The Empress Dowager let out a breath slowly, why didn't she want to severely punish the Cao family's mother and daughter for revenge?

But the Lin family still has Lin Shan and Lin Qiuchen, if the Cao family and daughter are really sentenced to death, this hatred is afraid that it will be endless.

Lin Mao's eyes were red, and he said: "Killing people pays for their lives, if someone doesn't even understand such a simple truth, they will be a son of man in vain, and a woman in vain!" ”

The Empress Dowager was a little surprised that her reckless brother-in-law could guess her thoughts.

After a while, the Empress Dowager swallowed and said, "Wicked, I'll do it." ”

She pointed to the fold and said, "Jing Xiao means that Cao's mother and daughter have mutilated many lives and used vicious methods, and they should be punished Ling Chi. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them kowtowed in unison and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager!" ”

The Empress Dowager paused, but finally sighed and let the three of them retreat.

When there were no outsiders in the hall, the old lady stepped forward and persuaded the empress dowager while pressing her sideburns: "These days, you have to worry too much, you should rest." ”

The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes slightly, enjoyed the massage, and said with a wry smile: "After Emperor Xiaorui died, I also thought about living for the rest of my life." But you see, my two daughters-in-law who are not angry have stirred up this smooth Dashun Dynasty into a miasma. No matter how lazy I am, I'm afraid a catastrophe is coming. ”

The old lady said: "The two queen mothers are too young, you can teach them." ”

The Empress Dowager said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Don't comfort me, I still know what those two are." After Emperor Xibao went a few years ago, I was also disheartened and didn't want to care about anything. But now that I understand it, I always have to keep this family business for my son, right? ”

The old lady wants to say, guarding the family business, isn't it cheaper for others?

But in the end, she didn't say these hurtful words, but just massaged the Queen Mother more wholeheartedly.

The master in front of him is only in his early forties, but he still experiences the pain of losing his husband and children.

In this imperial city, there is no more pitiful sad person than the master.

Suddenly, the old mother's fingers flickered, could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to hand over Dashun to Her Royal Highness?

In any case, His Royal Highness is the only child of Emperor Xibao who is still alive in the world, and he is also the only grandson of the Empress Dowager.

It's just that in this way, it will definitely be against the crown princess.

The Empress Dowager felt the old grandmother's fingers stop, she patted the old grandmother's fingers, and said, "Wang, it should also be understood that concubines don't fight with their wives." ”

The old lady opened her mouth to persuade her, but then she sighed.

Since the master has entered the court dispute, it is only a matter of time before he confronts the emperor and concubine.

So, she continued to massage her master.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager asked: "Yesterday, Empress Dowager Tao issued a decree and sealed a county lord?" ”

The old lady said: "It is the eldest daughter of Lord Yan, the commander of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the eldest lady Yan who has been guarding the old mansion of the Yan family to take care of the old lady. Empress Dowager Tao said that she was pure and filial, and she was a model of women in the world, and she was named the lord of Yulan. ”
