Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Empress Goes One Step Further

The council hall was once again ablaze, and the sound was everywhere.

"Zhang Sheng? The person recommended by the regent was actually Zhang Sheng. ”

"Who is this person?"

"Don't you know? This person talked loudly in the capital and offended many high-ranking families. ”

"I heard that he was originally the champion of the last year, but he offended the Taifu because of his inappropriate words, so he is still wearing a cloth shirt."

Even when Gu Qingyue heard this name, her eyebrows tightened, her hands clenched in her sleeves, and a little surprise rose in her heart.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked Lu Huaijin up and down.

No matter how he and Zhang Sheng look at it, they don't look like people all the way, how could they recommend Zhang Sheng to join the court?

Could it be that Zhang Sheng had looked for Lu Huaijin before?

Not only Gu Qingyue's heart was full of questions, but Mrs. Yang's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Lu Huaijin in surprise: "The regent actually has a relationship with that madman?" ”

Lu Huaijin looked indifferent: "It's not a deal, but I occasionally heard a few debates between Zhang Sheng and the scholars in the teahouse, and I felt that he had some ability, and promised him that if he had the right opportunity, he would recommend him to the court." ”

"Ability?" Mrs. Yang sneered disdainfully, "It's just an arrogant scholar, what can you do?" ”

Lu Huaijin raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth twitched, and looked at Mrs. Yang with a sneer: "Since he is just an arrogant scholar, why does Taifu refuse to let him enter the court as an official?" Could it be that Taifu is worried that he will be unable to control Zhang Sheng? ”

Yang Taifu Huo Ran turned his head away, his muscles trembled uncontrollably, the green tendons on his temples burst out, and he glared at Lu Huaijin angrily.

The latter didn't give him a chance to speak at all, he had already turned his head to look at Gu Qingyue, and clasped his fists and saluted: "If the emperor can be trusted, why don't you wait a few more days and wait for Zhang Sheng to enter the court." ”

"There are so many things in the court, how can you wait for him alone?"

"There are not only three doctors in the ministry, and Taifu is so anxious to promote people, it is difficult not to be regarded as wanting to cultivate power and win over party members."

"The regent should think twice when he speaks!"

"It's not your turn to care how this king speaks."

Yang Taifu and Lu Huaijin were tense one by one, and the atmosphere in the council hall was visibly tense, and even some Praetorian Guards had forced a few steps forward without a trace, ready to pull the two apart at any time.

Syllable--

An inkstone flew down from the main seat and landed at the feet of Yang Taifu and Lu Huaijin, and suddenly cracked.

The loud noise restored the peace of mind to the chamber in an instant.

Mrs. Yang glanced at Lu Huaijin fiercely, brushed her sleeves and looked at Gu Qingyue.

Lu Huaijin was unhurried, twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of disdain, and he also turned his head to look at Gu Qingyue.

The eyes of the two instantly focused on Gu Qingyue.

She frowned, her face flushed, and her chest rose and fell, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.

"What's the fuss about?" Gu Qingyue scolded in a deep voice, "I don't have the appearance of a courtier." This is the council hall, not the vegetable market. You two like to quarrel so much, why don't you switch to the vegetable market and sell vegetables? ”

She attacked indiscriminately together, her gaze lingering on the two of them for a moment, and finally slowly looked at Mrs. Yang.

Gu Qingyue thought for a moment, her attitude eased a little, and her voice also lowered: "Taifu, the regent is a martial artist and doesn't understand the rules, don't take his words to heart." ”

Mrs. Yang's cold face softened, her chin raised, and her eyes were a little more proud.

He hadn't been happy for too long, and Gu Qingyue continued: "However, I think the regent's proposal is very good. ”

"Your Majesty?" The smugness on Mrs. Yang's face suddenly disappeared, and she looked at Gu Qingyue with a shocked expression.

The latter raised his hand and pressed it a few times: "The person recommended by Taifu naturally wants to use it, but there may not be a fresh face in the middle of the court for a long time." I think it's time for some new people to get in. ”

Mrs. Yang was anxious and forced a few steps forward: "Isn't the emperor really going to enable Zhang Sheng?" ”

Gu Qingyue nodded and shook her head again.

Her actions confused the courtiers, and they didn't know what the empress was thinking in her heart.

Gu Qingyue put her hands behind her back, paced in front of the main seat, stopped on the right side of the main seat, raised her head, and looked at the roof to think thoughtfully.

After a long time, she said slowly: "According to me, the three people recommended by Taifu should be used, but in order to avoid suspicion, the three of them can no longer be on an errand with the ministry." Let them go to the Guozijian. ”

"Since the imperial court wants to bring in some fresh faces, it is natural that Zhang Sheng cannot be selected alone. Since I ascended the throne, I have been committed to filial piety and busy with the affairs of the harem, and I have not yet conducted a decent scientific examination and selection. Just take advantage of this opportunity to bring the scholars who have won the champion and Tanhua but have not been able to be used in the past years into the palace again, I want to check them one by one, and stay as officials if they are suitable. ”

Mrs. Yang was completely dumbfounded.

He just wanted to send three people into the ministry to make sure that the whole ministry was his people.

Now it's good, but it gave Gu Qingyue a chance to make a big selection.

The person she personally selected is naturally the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, no matter which department he is placed in, he will only be loyal to Gu Qingyue in the future.

Mrs. Yang's gaze gradually became gloomy, and there was a little more chill in her expression when she looked at Gu Qingyue.

The empress's successive actions have proved that she is definitely not a whim, but to make drastic changes to the court!

Mrs. Yang slowly turned her head and looked at Lu Huaijin beside her.

For some reason, Mrs. Yang just felt that the empress suddenly had such a move, which was absolutely inseparable from Lu Huaijin!

Mrs. Yang's sluggish and silent kung fu gave Gu Qingyue a great opportunity

"Since Taifu has no other opinions, then this matter will be done."

Immediately, without giving Mrs. Yang a chance to speak, Gu Qingyue announced her retirement from the dynasty.

She took Hui'er with her and quickly left the council hall.

Before she could take a few steps, Gu Qingyue whispered to Hui'er: "If you give the order, you will say that I am not feeling well today, and no one will see me." ”

She didn't want to give Mrs. Yang another lawsuit.

Since it has been decided to drastically rectify the court, it must be carried out to the end, and it must not be loosened by half a point.

At this point, she and Lu Huaijin stand on the united front.

But at other points, Gu Qingyue couldn't wait to bite Lu Huaijin to death.

For example, in the matter of martial arts.

Gu Qingyue returned to her palace, but saw that in addition to the wooden stakes that were moved in the morning, there was actually an extra row of axes, hooks and forks in the courtyard.

The Janissaries are wiping them one by one.

Gu Qingyue took advantage of the fact that no one noticed her, and turned around to leave.

"Your Majesty." A greeting voice came from behind him, "You're back?" The prince advised, after the emperor comes back, let us first take you to familiarize yourself with these weapons, know what these things are for, and save yourself from hurting yourself when you practice. ”

Gu Qingyue turned her head with a smile, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "No need." I still have business to attend to. ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard stepped forward quickly and saluted Gu Qingyue with his fists: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the prince has already ordered the people in the imperial study to move all the folds and put them in your bedroom." ”

Gu Qingyue: I really thank Lu Huaijin!
