Lu Zhao was stunned by her, but instead smiled bitterly and immediately grabbed her hand.

"Even the dead old man couldn't give me two slaps, but the queen was very bold."

"If I didn't have the guts, I wouldn't be able to marry you." Chen Xueying replied calmly.

Lu Zhao narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling the scene at that time, and immediately said: "Yes, after all, you were the kind of person who ran away with Xiaobaimian on the way to get married." ”

Chen Xueying pouted, and couldn't help glaring at him: "I told you, he kidnapped me, where did I escape, is my vision so bad?" ”

She would never admit it.

Lu Zhao shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue the topic, but instead pointed to the list on the table opposite.

"The shadow guard is still reliable, what are you going to do with those people? Need their continued help? ”

"I have no foundation in Northern Qi, I can only punish the people in the harem, as for those adults in the previous dynasty, if you look at the circle later, you will definitely fight back." Chen Xueying nodded.

She is not good at fighting in the court, after all, she has only received a modern education, and she is completely blind to the affairs of the court, which does not mean that she will be slaughtered by others.

On the contrary, due to the nature of her profession in modern times, she is very good at tossing people and will take revenge.

The battle between the queen and the literati continued, and Jicheng had become the queen's base camp.

And there are other people who are actually scoundrels and are purely trying to beg for money.

They go on patrol from time to time, if no one speaks ill of the queen, if someone says, they gather a small group of people to ask for money, otherwise they will cheat, and the business will be seriously affected.

The shopkeepers of various families went to report to the official, or to find a backer behind them, but the backers all said that in a special period, let those literati charge forward first, and don't act rashly for the time being, and the official is even more useless, because the official can't manage it at all.

These troublemakers have obviously been specially taught.

As soon as the official came, they stopped, but when the official left, they made trouble again.

Even if there are a lot of literati in Jicheng, and there are many talented people who come out to stand on the platform, they still can't stand the public opinion, and the talented man who everyone admired in the past is not easy to speak if he insults the queen at this time.

The rest of the city became the focus of literati propaganda.

Originally, it did have a great effect, and everyone felt that the queen mother was partial, why only gave money to the people of Jicheng, but the evil wind of Jicheng still blew over, and the queen mother really couldn't send them money, but they could ask for money from the insulting literati.

For this reason, the painting style of the entire Northern Qi Dynasty has been deviated, and the articles of the literati satirizing the current queen, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is, are not attractive, and everyone only thinks about money.

Even when the literati were impassioned, shaking their heads and chanting, and after writing an article all night, no one applauded or stirred up the atmosphere, but on the contrary, the surrounding audience began to ask: "If you write well, when will you pay for it?" ”

This unhealthy atmosphere swept through the entire Northern Qi in an instant, and no matter how powerful the rumors were, they couldn't spread.

No matter how neatly the officials shouted the slogans, how many students were asked to write articles, or even sign them jointly, it was useless

, because public opinion does not care at all, and the attention of the people is all on money.

The time of the early dynasty is almost up, and the ministers of the Hall of Light have already arrived, standing in their positions.

Usually, before the emperor came, everyone would talk about the recent court affairs, and even compliment the adults of the same party, praising their articles or political achievements, in short, it was very lively.

Today, it was extremely cold, and Wenchen's side fell directly into a deathly silence, and many adults had dark circles under their eyes, and they looked sluggish.

However, there is still some popularity in the circle of military generals, and they have discussed it with their colleagues around them.

"What's going on over there? All of them are pale and fluttering when they walk, are they coming together again to come up with bad ideas, and they stay up all night, just waiting to find fault today? ”

"How many times has our brother made a mistake, right? Don't be caught by these broken mouths, it's as hard to shake off as snot. ”

"No, no, they want to fix us, why do you have to work so hard, don't curse people!" The two were stunned and quickly answered.

In an instant, it attracted the angry eyes and rebuttals of a group of generals: "That's not hard for you, we're not as stupid as you, we still have to work hard!" ”

The second stunned man was attacked by the group, and after being beaten, he was honest, and the topic went back around.

"What's going on here? One by one, it's like coming back from a funeral. ”

"Hehe, didn't you stay in the Qinglou last night, and you were hooked by the fox spirit, and your essence was sucked dry, right? Otherwise, how can we wilt our heads together! ”

"No, no, you see that the Ministry of Rites is in its fifties, if you meet a fox spirit, you have to give your life directly."

"Get down to business, get down to business!"

"I know that these broken mouths joined forces to attack the queen mother, and wanted all the literati in the world to criticize her and scold the queen mother as a disaster for the country, but unfortunately they didn't succeed."

"Hahaha, I've heard of this, these people think they've read books, they're very high, and they don't like anyone. Now what they say and what they write is firmly tied to money and is full of copper smell. ”

Most of these generals are rough people, once they fight with the literati in the court, they are obviously not opponents, they will be stunned by the quotations of the Wenchen, and they look like they are going to lose, so they can only rely on loud voices and vulgar words, and occasionally threaten with fists when they are in a hurry.

In short, it was all a loss of honor in front of the palace, and after doing so, someone grabbed a new handle and had no power to fight back.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother used "vulgar things" to defeat this group of arrogant ministers, leaving them powerless.

"Hey, Lord Liu, the last time you joined me, didn't you think one was ten? Why has it become a bad seed now? ”

"Ouch, Lord Qin, you hid to the side, did you think I wasn't looking for you? During the previous battle of southern Chongqing, the supply of grain and grass was delayed, which led to the unfavorable situation at the beginning of the war, you scolded me, pointed to my nose and said that I was a concubine, suspecting that our ancestors had spies in the eighteenth generation, and bluntly said that the emperor would sentence me to be beheaded all over the house! Now that you've lost this battle, your ancestors are actually demented, right? Otherwise, how could you give birth to such a useless thing? ”

……

When the generals passed through the qi, they instantly gave birth to the idea of promoting narrowness, and began to find faults, and for a while, the court became lively again, and the situation reversed, becoming a military general chasing

Wenchen played tricks.

The ministers gritted their teeth one after another, and some people couldn't hold back and retorted: The queen mother is a woman TEL()TEL[(), and the head of the six palaces, even if we are dissatisfied in our hearts, we will respect her, and we will not seriously use foul language to slander her. ”

"Oh, with respect? Who said before that only women and villains are difficult to raise? said that the queen is difficult to raise, and it is called respect, I, the old man, know that you are farting, and you will not understand the people who were born in the imperial examination, right? ”

"Oh, this sounds really sour, I don't admit it when I lose a fight, and I want to say that it's letting others, why are you so shameless. But that's right, after all, you civil servants, everyone will put gold on their faces. ”

The two sides quarreled again, and the more they made the noise, the more fierce it became.

"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived—"

At this moment, the sound of singing was remembered outside, and there was an instant silence in the hall, and the ministers looked at each other with different expressions.

This is the second time that the queen has come to the court, the last time she came to the Guangming Palace, she fell out with the ministers, and even directly attacked Prime Minister Zuo, what are you doing this time?

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!" Li De raised the dust.

Normally, at this time, the courtiers below began to speak freely, but today no one spoke, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one took a step.

"Before I came, I heard you Aiqing chatting enthusiastically, why is it silent now?" Lu Zhao raised his brows and took the initiative to ask.

The left and right ministers glanced at each other, and when the emperor asked, he must have answered, and finally Prime Minister Zuo took a step forward and prepared to explain.

It's just that before he could speak, he was cut off by Chen Xueying.

"Your Excellency has just been chatting lively, and it shouldn't be a serious conversation. Presumably, there is no Ben Shen today, just chatting. She spoke nonchalantly.

The first thing I said today was that he was yin and yang, and he was extremely aggressive.

Obviously, the conflict with Prime Minister Zuo last time was not accidental, let alone her impulsive decision, but her nature.

Even if the ministers led the people of the world to become enemies of the queen, and even wanted to make the people of the world disgusted with her, and wanted to give her the hat of the queen of the national demon, she still went her own way and was tough and tough.

Prime Minister Zuo was already unhappy when she cut off the conversation, and when he heard this provocative remark, he was even more annoyed and angry.

"The queen mother, the adults of the last dynasty, whether they are ministers or military generals, are all greedy for the morning and dark, conscientious, and dedicated to the prosperity and strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty. You are in the deep palace, I am afraid that you don't know that the lights of Shangshu Pavilion will not be extinguished all night, so don't make this kind of guess, so as not to chill people's hearts. Zuo Cheng opened his mouth and replied, his tone was hard.

And he is also very cunning, knowing that the current situation is that the queen and Wenchen are facing each other, but instead let the military generals watch the excitement from the sidelines, in order not to let these big old fishermen benefit, so he dragged everyone into the water together.

But whenever the queen comes back, she will also be scolded together with hundreds of civil and military officials, those generals are impatient, he doesn't believe that these vulgar people are not in a hurry.

"Really? That being the case, then please ask Prime Minister Zuo to tell the palace, when will the iron hooves of Northern Qi set foot on the land of Dayan? Where are you going to attack first, which generals you want to send as generals, who will be the vanguard, who will be the officials who will be responsible for the heavy grain and grass, and how can you put an end to the greed for ink? ”

Facing the left prime minister

() difficult, she didn't take it to heart, but directly threw out a long list of problems, and completely stood in a high position.

However, as soon as this question was asked, before Prime Minister Zuo could answer, she spoke again: "Oh, by the way, this palace shouldn't ask these questions, after all, Prime Minister Zuo won't say it, and I suspected that this palace is the biggest spy before." Although Prime Minister Zuo is completely a villain's heart, in order to avoid trouble, the palace still won't ask more about the process. It's just that this result, when will Hongu be able to see it? ”

She provoked him twice, poking his heart every word, sharp as a knife.

Prime Minister Zuo's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and he sneered: "Queen Mother, you don't know how to fight, and you don't understand the court, but you only think about waiting for the result, and you directly veto our efforts, and come with your mouth completely open." According to Weichen's humble opinion, you should go back to Fengzao Palace and take care of the affairs of the harem, you don't need to come to the court, so as not to do bad things with good intentions. ”

Obviously, after hesitating the queen to attack several times three times, Prime Minister Zuo stopped pretending, and began to fight back directly, perhaps forced, even if Prime Minister Zuo was the erudite champion of the year, when facing the queen at this moment, he also said it quite bluntly, and he no longer chewed words at all, obviously he was forced to be in a hurry.

"If you are not in your position, you are not in charge. It's normal that the palace doesn't know how to fight and the court, but it's not an excuse for some people to fool around. Prime Minister Zuo has been saying that he is conscientious and diligent, and he must let people see the results. The emperor proposed to take down Dayan before, but several days have passed, I don't know what feasible method Prime Minister Zuo has come up with? ”

Chen Xueying said slowly and logically, refuting them one by one, not annoyed by Prime Minister Zuo's attack at all, and even at ease.

"Of course, you don't have to tell the palace, just write a fold and present it to the emperor. It's just that the palace is curious, how many l letters have you written? ”

"Since the last time the queen went to court, the ministers have presented their memoranda every day." Prime Minister Zuo's tone was calm and authentic, he had a clear conscience, he was originally conscientious, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to this position above 10,000 people under one person.

"Oh, then how many seals are related to the attack on Dayan?" Chen Xueying continued to ask.

"This is an important court matter, and the ministers can't talk to the mother in detail, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." He outright refused.

Chen Xueying chuckled lightly, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Prime Minister Zuo is so interesting to speak, you can answer the questions that are beneficial to you, if there is something unfavorable, you will avoid talking about it, and even say some specious things, but blame the palace." ”

"You send a piece of music every day, and I guess most of them are from the main palace, right? Regardless of the recovery of Dayan, but staring at the palace with all his heart, is this considered a bad job? ”！
