Chapter 8: The Battle of the Court
The empress had long expected that they would have such a statement, and she had also thought of a countermeasure.
"I lost my mother when I was young, the first emperor did not seal the queen, there is only one concubine in the harem, many people are eyeing me, only the concubine has taken good care of me, in my heart she is no different from my biological mother, why can't I be crowned?"
The ministers were bitter in their hearts.
The three ministers wanted to say something, but they took into account that their daughter was still in the harem, so they didn't dare to say more without permission, for fear that their daughter would be disgusted by His Majesty.
When they returned, they invited their respective staff members and familiar ministers to come and discuss.
Anyone who can mix in the grass hall is not stupid.
As the head of the hundred officials, the prime minister naturally has the most people in the house.
He has gray hair, a long beard, and a straight body, which is quite immortal.
If you don't wear an official uniform, I'm afraid you will be mistaken for a Taoist leader who cultivates the Tao.
"Your Majesty, is this dissatisfaction with our inaction?"
The better minister at the bottom analyzed.
"I'm afraid that's right, Wei Wushu has been fighting with King Wei for a long time, but he has always stopped at the point, for fear that we will take advantage of it, Your Majesty is afraid that he will be dissatisfied with the current situation, this is an adult."
They are all thousand-year-old fox spirits, and they really want to stand by and watch, and wait until Wei Wushu and King Wei are both defeated, and then there will be a yellow finch behind, but they didn't expect the hunter to wait......
The prime minister frowned and said, "Wait and see, what should I do now?" ”
"The lower officials are foolish, Your Majesty recruited Rong Niangniang into the palace, just to win over the prime minister, and Concubine Rong Niangniang was also the first to go to bed, from this point of view, the status of the prime minister in His Majesty's heart is strong."
"Now that Concubine Fuxi has suddenly ascended to the throne, she didn't say anything, I'm afraid I'm waiting for the prime minister's attitude."
The prime minister stroked his long beard and sighed: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty, who I watched grow up, have such a scheming now." ”
The people below did not speak, but they secretly had a secret stomach in their hearts: in the end, the king of a country, even if he is not really in power, his scheming methods are the same, how can he be willing to sit still and wait for death?
"Prime Minister, so far, I'm afraid we can't move, if we don't hurry, it's not good to be preempted by the other two."
Except for the King of Wei, the three ministers who take care of their lives are a camp on the surface, but they are in their own ways and guard against each other in their hearts.
The prime minister nodded and said: "What I said is that now the ambition of the wolf son of King Wei in the court is aggressive, and there are eunuchs such as Wei Wushuang in the harem, which has caused chaos in the court, and the lives of the people are ruined, so I have to bother you." ”
At that moment, someone chimed in: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, I will collect the evidence of Wei Wuxian's rebellion as soon as I go back, and return the harem to a clear year." ”
As for why you didn't move King Wei?
Of course, because the King of Wei held the military power, they did not dare to touch his edge easily, so they could only avoid it for a while.
And as an official of the imperial court, he was born to deal with eunuchs.
Especially the group of eunuchs in the East Factory, even the hundred officials did not dare to offend more.
Now that there is an opportunity, it is natural that they have to go under the knife first.
On the morning of the second day, many officials began to play one after another, and every sentence pointed directly at Wei Wuxian.
"Your Majesty, Wei Wuxian connived at the people of Dongchang to be rampant, the people are full of grievances, it is really intolerable, please deal with it!"
And Xiao Natuo on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard it.
He didn't expect that the three ministers who didn't deal with him on weekdays would suddenly stand in his camp.
If it weren't for the fact that his position didn't allow it, he would have liked to look back to see if the sun outside the palace had come out in the west.
On the top of the main hall, Empress Xiao Yanheng's face was cold, and she didn't say anything about their words.
Although she didn't like Wei Wushu either, this knife was easy to use, and she still needed to use him to deal with Xiao Natuo, the king of Wei.
But these people want her to break this knife, and really treat her like a three-year-old doll?
Then, she stared at King Wei who was standing in front of His Royal Highness.
Even if this Uncle Wang is standing lazily, people dare not underestimate him, like a napping lion, even if you know that he is dozing, you still dare not approach.
Xiao Yanheng said casually: "Uncle Wang also thinks the same way? ”
Xiao Natuo said word by word, "The ministers and the ministers have the same opinion, but a group of eunuchs, a group of lackeys, where can they supervise the hundred officials?" also asked the emperor to dispose of them as soon as possible, and return the court to a stable place. ”
His words were unceremonious, and everyone did not dare to answer.
Xiao Yanheng was a little afraid in his heart when he faced this Uncle Wang.
When she was a child, she heard her father mention more than once that this uncle Wang was capable of literature and martial arts.
At first, she listened to it with great admiration.
But every time after listening to it, she could see her father's worried expression.
So I gradually understood that capable courtiers are sometimes not necessarily what the emperor needs, and it is obedient courtiers who are really useful.
Since then, her attitude towards this Uncle Wang has changed.
Every time she heard someone mention how many enemies he had killed on the battlefield and how much blood he had on his hands, she was still so scared that she didn't dare to say anything when facing him.
Only this time it's different.
She sat on a high place, looking down at the people present, listening to their chirping, and holding the dragon head of the dragon chair tightly in her hands.
"Enough, this is the court, not the vegetable market!"
Soon the ministers fell silent.
Even if there is no full-grown milk tiger, it is still a tiger.
The fear of imperial power made them dare not be more presumptuous.
Xiao Natuo is different.
He has the blood of royalty in his veins, and he is also qualified to sit in that position.
For this little doll above, he never had too much awe.
"Your Majesty, the eunuchs have committed rebellion, and I don't know how many ministers have been wronged, if they continue to be rampant, won't my Xiao royal family have to listen to the words of a group of geldings?"
Xiao Yanheng listened to what he said quietly, and his expression was a little complicated.
She plucked up her courage and spoke slowly in the tone that her father had once taught.
"Uncle Huang, no matter how bold Wei Wushu is, he doesn't dare to openly lead troops to break into the Queen Mother's dormitory, Uncle Huang acts like this, isn't he afraid of being said rampantly?"
When she was a child, her father was not in good health, so he always held her in his arms, talked to those ministers slowly, and coughed from time to time, but still made those standing ministers tremble.
Although Xiao Yanheng was young at that time, he remembered this scene firmly in his eyes.
