The turning point of the situation began with a strict secret report, in which he claimed that he had been accused of a crime, and that He Zhan, the squire of the Chinese scholar, had also accepted bribes.

The Queen Mother's party members are not all extremely vicious, and there are even a handful of people, because of their caution, they have not blatantly acted to bully others, even if they are corrupt and pervert the law, they are also sneaky, and they have not been sued by the people, and they can still protect themselves. Because Xie Raoping was once in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and some of them were mixed into the ranks of the officials, after Yan Shen, they wrote impeachment notes, fabricated charges, and impeached He Zhan.

Such as accepting bribes, admonishing and misgiving, and when serving as a patrol envoy, looking for flowers and asking willows to commit violations of discipline and dereliction of duty, and so on.

They spoke righteously, called on the queen to treat everyone equally, and immediately ordered He Zhan to be dismissed from his post and prosecuted.

Immediately following Wei Haichi, the mastermind, also lost pressure on the queen and summoned Eleven Niang to the Chang'an Palace.

On this day, not only were the Ren sisters present, but the Queen Mother also invited Feng Jizheng, Du Jianzhi and other female relatives of the family.

"The plum blossoms of the Chang'an Palace are beginning to bloom, and the old body specially invited all the wives to enter the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms today, and it was when I heard Mrs. Pan's gossip that I mentioned it, only to know that He Chengtai was also impeached by many officials, and the queen had allowed the old body to express her worries directly, so there are a few heartfelt words today, I want to tell the queen, and I hope the queen will not misunderstand, the old body wants to interfere in government affairs."

Fighting with Eleven Niang several times, Wei Haichi also knew that the other party had no reverence for his queen mother, but now the situation, stacks of ruthless words and disputes with each other could not solve the fundamental problem, the queen mother needs to be present, especially the Pan family and other foreign women, all of whom are high-ranking officials and ministers, in front of these people, how dare the queen be disrespectful?

Wei Haichi's old ginger is indeed spicy.

This is not Pan's immediately helped: "The Queen Mother is really worried, who in the world does not know that the Queen is the most benevolent and filial, how can she misunderstand the Queen Mother's heart of worrying about the country and the people?" ”

Eleven Niang was reluctant to join the staggering, so she knelt on her knees without saying a word: "The concubine listens to the teachings of the Queen Mother." ”

The queens all knelt down, how dare all the ladies sit down and eat? So they all knelt on their knees, only the Ren sisters who got carried away were ignorant and unconscious, one was holding Princess Huaixiao, and the other was holding a wine cup and dancing with her eyebrows.

Even the Pan family couldn't help slandering: The two sisters of the Ren family are really arrogant and ignorant, and the Empress Dowager Wei actually intended to make the Ren family flattering and replace the queen, no wonder when she was in power at that time, she would make people angry! But it's okay like this, when the husband uses the queen mother to defeat the queen, where is a foolish person like the queen mother Wei who is the opponent of the husband? It's a pity that he couldn't convince the husband to send Lian'er to the palace, otherwise Lian'er would be able to be the mother of the world.

He also said that Du Yanzhi's wife Yuan, who was born in Jingzhao Yuan Dazong, has always paid attention to etiquette, and had no intention of clinging to the Queen Mother, but because she was invited, she did not dare to refuse, how could she think that the Queen Mother would take the opportunity to challenge the queen, and did not intend to let many women avoid it, Mrs. Yuan immediately woke up to the fact that she was used, and she was dissatisfied with the treasure, and at this time she saw the stupidity of the Ren sisters, and frowned more and more.

But on such an occasion, Mrs. Yuan will resolutely not go beyond her words.

"The queen, please get up, between the family, there is no need to be so stubborn." When Empress Dowager Wei saw Mrs. Yuan's expression, she knew that the situation was a little bad, and she hated the Ren sisters for not having eyes, but at this time, it was not easy to scold the supporters, and she could only use pretense of intimacy to cover up.

"The Queen Mother is because of government affairs and teachings, not idle talk and drink, so the concubine does not dare to abolish the ceremony." Eleven Niang coped.

At this time, Ren Yaoguang was very proud that the queen finally bent her knees in front of her, and interjected: "The queen is rare to be filial, why should the queen mother care, besides, the queen mother should be so respectful." ”

Empress Dowager Wei endured a few endurances before she could hold back her evil anger, but in the end she showed the hypocrisy of smiling and not smiling: "The queen does not waste the number of courtesies, but even the women who are involved have to kneel on their knees, the old body is feasting for you today, and you are the guests, so how can the old body be happy." ”

Mrs. Yuan's brows frowned even tighter: Mrs. Huayang was so rude, but the Queen Mother did not scold, it can be seen that Mrs. Pan often hinted that the queen's unfilial piety was not true, it should stem from the rumors of Mrs. Huayang and Mrs. Yueguo, and behind the Ren sisters, there is no doubt who is instructing.

"Although the wives are guests of the Queen Mother, they are not feasting at this time, and the Queen Mother is teaching, and the wives should accompany the concubines to listen." Eleven Niang just refused to be polite, and let Ren Yaoguang continue to get carried away.

The Queen Mother's eyes were cold, and she finally drank coldly: "Since the queen takes the example as an example, Ren, are you still drunk and happy?" ”

Only then did Ren Yaoguang realize that he had crossed the line, and pulled his sister, and the two of them were aggrieved and changed to kneeling.

"The old body also knows that officials commit many criminal crimes, and the old body bears unshirkable responsibility, and the queen is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and it is not at fault to reform the legal system to encourage the people to sue for illegality, but it has been accumulated for a long time, how can it be rushed? If it has developed so far, in order to seek forgiveness, criminal officials have rushed to report each other, and dogs are in a hurry to jump over the wall, it will inevitably slander and frame, leading to internal fighting and party strife, and will not delay government affairs? ”

After saying a long sigh, Empress Dowager Wei actually excused He Zhan: "Ruchengtai, he has never acted as a bully to the people, but he is also a member of the clan, his words and deeds are inevitably cautious, in the past, because of difficulties but customs, a small negligence, but now it has become the target of the public, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not have an innocent person." ”

Of course, this only seems to excuse He Zhan, but in fact, it is confirmed that He Zhan has indeed committed the crime of impeachment by the official!

Therefore, according to the old man's view, the reform of the legal system must certainly eliminate the tyranny and wantonness, and also give justice to the innocent civilians, so that the people can obey and obey the court, and should also control the proportion, such as when accumulating malpractices, do not commit the crime of killing and injuring innocents, the court can warn, but still should be forgiven, so that it is more conducive to stability, otherwise the court will be above the court, and everyone will be in danger, who can concentrate on their duties? Now that the Holy Lord is on an expedition to the Western Frontier, but the court is in turmoil, if the Holy Lord knows, how can he not be worried, how can he not be distracted? The old body also hopes that the queen will focus on the overall situation and avoid impetuousness. ”

This is Wei Haichi's sum, and it is also a threat.

She doesn't care about losing some of her party members, and she doesn't have to put He Zhan to death, she even acquiesces to the queen to continue to push forward the reform, but the queen must also let Xie Raoping and Wei Yuanping go.

But can it really turn hostility into friendship?

If Eleven Niang gave up halfway, and still let Xie and Wei stay as the rulers, so as to keep their arms, wouldn't they be selfish? Legal reform will become a joke, and it is even more impossible to eliminate the accumulated malpractices in officialdom, and Shi Niang will still be questioned by Feng Jizheng and other so-called orthodox, and this liquidation movement will be labeled as excluding dissidents.

As long as Wei Haichi leads public opinion again, it is not difficult to mislead Du Jianzhi, Tao Baoyi and other officials, and it is true that Eleven Niang simply wants to gain power, regardless of the country's social affairs.

Eleven Niang is facing an unprecedented problem.

Is it to sacrifice He Zhan, or to compromise and retreat!
