Chapter 63: Hundred officials knelt on the ground

Inner Sanctum.

"Your Majesty, please have tea."

Zhuge Yao handed over a cup of tea and behaved dignifiedly, Fu Qiu drank it casually, looked at her and asked.

"I've been a little busy these days, and I forgot to come to you, would you be angry?"

Zhuge Yao lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, squeezing out a smile.

"Your Majesty laughed, the concubine didn't dare to be angry, besides, how many sisters in the palace haven't seen Your Majesty once in a year and a half, Your Majesty can come to me from time to time This time, I am already very satisfied."

Fu Qiu raised his eyebrows and took this sentence as the truth.

"By the way, the last time you went to Yingcheng, was everything okay with your brother's side? If the local assassin Shi Yang disobeys the yin and does not carry out my will properly, you can say it directly. ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Yao's Qiu Bo's eyes turned red, and the fingernails under her sleeve robe were deep in the flesh and blood, but she squeezed out a smile.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine with the clan brother, the local assassin has arranged a relaxed official position for him, and he is the seventh grade, and the local area is quite prestigious."

Fu Qiu glanced at her twice and frowned.

"Actually, this time I am looking for you, the main thing is for the matter of Wang Wei's criminal evidence, if you can give it to me, I will be able to clear the ministers faster, and realize the power in my hands, I want to ask you, do you know about the criminal evidence, even if it is a little news."

Zhuge Yao shook his head and said apologetically.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has forgotten all the things back then, and the evidence of the crime is even more illusory, just rumors, if I really know the evidence of the crime, do you think a powerful minister like Wang Wei will let me go? I'm afraid I died in that cold palace two years earlier, right? ”

Hearing this, Fu Qiu felt that he was also reasonable, and was slightly disappointed, without proof of guilt, he couldn't take the initiative, otherwise the advantage he had just gained would be gone, and the main task related to his own life would be over, so he couldn't be in a hurry, he had to take it step by step, he smiled, stood up, and pressed Zhuge Yao's soft shoulders.

"It's okay, forget if you don't know, let it pass."

Zhuge Yao's heart is complicated, can he really pass? Late at night, outside the bed curtain, sandalwood overflowing, inside the bed curtain, after the two of them were hugging each other to sleep, Fu Qiu closed his eyes, but said.

"Why are you so preoccupied?"

Zhuge Yao turned sideways, revealing a beautiful back as smooth as silk.

"No, Your Majesty, the concubine is just a little tired."

Fu Qiu opened her eyes and hugged her from behind, without any separation from each other, skin to skin, Zhuge Yao seemed to be a little struggling, moved away slightly, she thought of being in the camp city, seeing her own brother, the former family members were so miserable because of the man next to her, her distorted love disappeared, until dawn, Zhuge Yao did not fall asleep, she gently put on her belly pocket, stepped on the ground with her bare jade feet, and cautiously glanced back at the sleeping Fu Qiu, as if she was a thief, she quietly walked behind the screen, took out a royal waist card from Fu Qiu's dragon robe, held it tightly in her hand, and was silent for a long time before hiding the waist card, and returned to the bed on tiptoe. The next day, after Zhuge Yao waited for Fu Qiu to change his clothes, he sent him out of the Autumn Leaves Palace, Fu Qiu walked a few steps away, and suddenly turned back.

"I spend most of my time in the Imperial Study, if you're bored, come to me."

Hearing this, Zhuge Yao's beautiful eyes flickered, and he bowed to his body.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Fu Qiu smiled slightly, he can be ruthless and have no pity for Wang Min, but Zhuge Yao and others, he still has a heart of love, even if she can't bring anything to herself, perhaps, this is because his soul is not the soul of the ancients, not so cold, after he left, Zhuge Yao looked at the back and didn't come back to her senses for a long time, she suddenly clenched, and suddenly became extremely disgusted with herself, is this cheap? He let himself lose his mind with a little tenderness, forgetting the deep hatred and humiliation, the imperial study, or as always, was anxious, the household stopped, which had a great impact on the entire Great Xia, Shangshu was recuperating at home, the waiter was arrested, and a large number of household officials were also dismissed one after another, and the household almost existed in name only, and at that time, the protΓ©gΓ©s of Wang Wei's camp were old, and began to agitate the nobles around the country, making trouble, paying taxes on money and grain, and other problems, one after another!

"Your Majesty, outside the Xuanwu Gate, hundreds of officials knelt on the ground......"

Father-in-law Xi said in a panic.

"Hundreds of officials kneeling on the ground? What, do you want me to release Wang Min? ”

Fu Qiu raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth sneered, and his father-in-law bent over.

"No, they jointly requested that Lord Wang Wei come out of the mountain and preside over the overall situation."

Bang! Fu Qiu smashed his fist on the solid wood pear flower table, and Long Yan was furious.

"Preside over the overall situation, this world is my world, and I still need him Wang Wei to preside over the overall situation? Go, blow these ministers away with a mess, and those who dare to make trouble will be arrested in the prison! ”

The officials of the imperial study and the eunuchs were so startled that they didn't even dare to breathe heavily, and Gonggong Xi immediately wanted to deliver the will, but was stopped by Fu Lao.

"Your Majesty, don't be rash, if you do this, you will fall into Wang Wei's trap."

Hearing this, Fu Qiu gradually calmed down, and since ancient times, he has lost the hearts of the people and the world. This Wang Wei was silent, in fact, he played this card, he killed the rebel ministers and arrested the household officials before, which was reasonable, but to drive away this group of righteous and strict officials, and ask for the people's lives, I am afraid that people will be left to speak. When the people complained, that was what Wang Wei wanted to see the most.

"That's it, I'll go out myself!"

Saying that, he stood up, Long Xianghu walked towards Xuanwumen, Fu Lao and the others immediately followed, Xuanwumen, seeing Fu Qiu coming, hundreds of ministers knelt down together and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, please also immediately ask Lord Wang to come back to preside over the overall situation of the household, otherwise the country will not be a country!"

Fu Qiu suppressed his anger and said coldly.

"But you say, 'How will the kingdom not be a nation?' Could it be that I'm going to die? ”

All the ministers were stunned, and Taishi ordered Wang Yangjun to kneel on the ground and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, this is a petition jointly signed by merchants, tenants, and porters in the imperial capital, totaling more than 10,000 people, and please take a look at it, they are about to run out of food because of tax issues, and the household departments in the central government are in chaos, the income is unknown, and the people are mourning all over the field, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the people will mutiny!"

Fu Qiu asked people to take the petition, which was dozens of meters long and densely covered with names and handprints.

"Wouldn't it have been better to pay taxes earlier? Why are there so many problems today? Is it the problem of the imperial court, or your problem! ”

A minister of the third rank stood up and said with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the issue of taxation has always been a problem in the imperial court, but because of Lord Wang, it can be calm! Now that Wang Guifei is locked up in the cold palace, Lord Wang is sick at home, and there is no one in the household, as soon as the news comes out, the people are terrified! ”

Fu Qiu sneered and looked at the ministers in front of him.

"Then you mean that if you invite Lord Wang back, these problems of taxation and panic can be solved?"

The ministers looked at each other and said in unison.

"Your Majesty, that's exactly what I mean."

Fu Qiu took his hand and said lightly.

"But Lord Wang is sick, how do you want me to invite me?"

Taishi ordered Wang Yangjun to give up.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is sick with a heart, Wang Guifei is wronged and is about to be beheaded after the autumn, how can his old man not be cold?"

He glanced at Fu Qiu's face, and said with deep meaning.

"This, heart disease still has to be cured!"
