"Kill! Execute him! Now!! Send someone!!"

The crutch in Empress Dowager Lou's hand pressed against Gao Yan's chest, her face turned red, her whole body was trembling, and her saliva was splattering.

In the palace, the female officials knelt on the ground with their heads buried in silence.

Gao Yan looked solemn, slowly grabbed the crutch that was holding him, and carefully bent down to put it down.

"Mom, this matter is full of doubts. It's better to investigate thoroughly first. Besides, it also involves my cousin."

"Lou Rui?! Beast! This beast!!"

Empress Dowager Lou became even more angry, "For the sake of money, he didn't even care about his grandfather's spiritual status?!"

"Kill! Catch him too! Beat him with a hundred sticks! Beat him with two hundred sticks!!!"

"Mom, my cousin is not a money-grubbing person. This matter is of great importance. Don't listen to the nonsense of those nobles."

Gao Yan took out the memorial from his arms and said seriously: "This is the memorial given by my cousin. He said that his uncle told him in a dream that he would not be in peace after his death and asked him to come and see him."

"My cousin led people to Tianle Temple and found that these Hu monks robbed civilian girls and had sex in front of my uncle's spirit. They even colluded with the Puppet Zhou Dynasty and used those spiritual bits to cast spells in an attempt to kill me, a distinguished noble of the Qi Dynasty."

My brother was so angry that he slaughtered the thieves, took the proceeds, and distributed them to the people to settle the border areas. He also established new spiritual tablets and placed the spiritual tablets of many ancestors."

Empress Dowager Lou laughed loudly at this moment, and her laughter was extremely scary.

Her eyes widened and bloodshot, "How can he deceive me with his bullshit, if he can coax other people? What a dream, he is obviously jealous of Tianle Temple's rewards, and colludes with that Liu

Taozi, regardless of the spiritual status of my ancestors, I used my sword to fight against you. If you still think that I am your mother, give me the order now!"

Gao Yan looked at his mother calmly and shook his head slowly.

"No."

Empress Dowager Lou shouted angrily: "If you don't agree, don't think about any big things anymore. Even though I am old, I can still make some decisions about big things in the world!"

Gao Yan saluted her, "Mother, if you insist on punishing them, just punish me first."

"My life was given by my mother. I will do whatever my mother wants me to do."

"My mother is unwilling to help, so I will resign from my position and go back to my hometown to reflect."

Gao Yan took off the official seal from his waist, put it aside, turned around and left.

Lou Zhaojun looked at Gao Yan striding out and suddenly shouted: "Stop!!"

Gao Yan stopped and looked at his mother again.

Lou Zhaojun could no longer control his emotions at this moment and almost cried, "What a sin, I have six sons, but none of them are mature. Cheng is debauched, Yang is violent, Qiao Zaoyao died, you want to leave now too

Me?"

"Aren't the people enshrined in Tianle Temple your ancestors? Are you and Lou Rui just looking at outsiders to bully us?"

"You damn god, instead of giving birth to you, you would have died in my belly!!"

Seeing Lou Zhaojun's sad look, Gao Yan immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the ground with his head, and kowtowed several times. His head hit the ground hard, and blood spattered everywhere, but Gao Yan didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

!

Lou Zhaojun quickly pulled him up, "Do you also want to die in front of me?!"

Gao Yan said: "Mother, it's not that I don't value our ancestors. It's because I value our ancestors that I don't allow these people to harm the spiritual status of our ancestors. If you don't believe my cousin, could it be that the things he found out are also fake?? Yes

Is he colluding with the Puppet Zhou?"

"Mother, these people are causing trouble on the frontier. There are millions of monks and nuns in our country today. How many people do we need to support these millions of people? They don't do farming, don't pay taxes, don't serve in the military, they just sit back and enjoy the wealth of the people.

Respect, occupying the land, and distributing money. Does the mother know what the interest is on the money they distribute? One money is paid out, and the next month ten coins are returned, and the next month, one hundred coins, one thousand coins, ten thousand coins!!"

"These insects, these idiots, are destroying my country."

Gao Yan's face suddenly turned ferocious, blood slowly flowed from his forehead, covering his heroic face, Gao Yan's eyes became fierce, his whole body trembled slightly, tears and blood flowed together.

Looking at his son's appearance, Lou Zhaojun was shocked.

Her pupils slowly dilated, and another person appeared in front of her eyes.

The same face was full of blood, the same face was full of ferociousness, and the same trembling.

"Mother, I lost, I lost, my Han army!! These insects, these idiots!! My country!!"

"It's hopeless! It's hopeless! I'm going to kill them!! I'm going to massacre them!! I'm going to set fire to them, and I'm going to crush their intestines."

Lou Zhaojun suddenly woke up and grabbed his son's hand, "Play! Play!"

She trembled and took out the silk cloth, wiped the blood on Gao Yan's face, and called the female officer to come and help.

Being held by Lou Zhaojun like this, Gao Yan's crazy look slowly calmed down.

He looked at Lou Zhaojun again, his eyes clear.

"Mother, can't handle it"

"Okay, don't deal with it, don't deal with it. Acting, how are you doing lately?"

Gao Yan was in a daze for a moment, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

"Mom, actually Liu Taozi is not an outsider."

"oh?"

"He is Liu Taozhi's son, Grandpa's Cangtou slave, Liu Taozhi"

"What?!"

Lou Zhaojun's eyes widened, "That man. That man is Taozhi's son? Then how could he be a small garrison leader in the frontier fortress? After you treat meritorious service like this? You asked him to be a seventh-grade soldier?"

Official?"

"Um, mother, the seventh grade is not a small official."

"What is that?! Among the other nobles, whose heirs are seventh-grade?! Which one did not start out as fourth-grade or third-grade? But this old man, when he followed your grandpa, you were not born yet!! You

How dare you humiliate him like this?!"

Gao Yan was a little confused. He slowly said: "I have never looked down upon him. I have promoted him three times in a row."

Lou Zhaojun became even more angry, "Three consecutive births are the seventh grade?! Then what grade was he in the past?!"

"My mother, you can't blame me. It was Liu Gong who didn't want to pamper his son. He was afraid of spoiling him, so he made his son stay anonymous and become a small county official. I later learned that he was given promotions and promotions along the way. Liu

The Duke also tried to dissuade me, saying that his son was ineffective and could not be promoted. His promotion was all because of his merits. Not only did Liu Gong not help him, he also suppressed him."

Lou Zhaojun was a little shocked, and then she nodded, "I understand, I understand. No wonder Lou Rui values ​​him so much. No wonder you always want to protect him. I understand."

She then said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Taozhi is an old man. He has tried his best over the years. Speaking of which, I was the one who came forward when he got married. It's a pity that his wife died young. You

If I didn't tell him, I wouldn't have known he had a son."

"As expected of Taozhi, look at how bloody and capable this kid taught me. I should have done what he did back then, throwing you all away to become county officials!!"

Gao Yan lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Lou Zhaojun's expression softened a lot, "Since we are members of our own family, then forget it."

"However, Lou Rui can't be too tolerant of this brat. So, you send someone to beat him with ten army sticks! Just say it was my order!"

"only!!!"

Gao Yan stood up again and said, "Mother."

"What else?"

"Your Majesty is young, many nobles in various places are committing lawlessness, and the Turks of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty are ready to make trouble. Even in the south, it is not very peaceful."

"Although you respect me, you are not afraid of me."

"Brothers, although they love me, they are not afraid of me."

"Mother, can you handle big things for the sake of the country?"

Lou Zhaojun was stunned for a long time, "Why are you so anxious? Your Majesty has only been on the throne for less than a year."

"Mother, I am just a prime minister, and there are many inconveniences in my actions. I am not selfish at all. I am just for the world."

Lou Zhaojun was silent for a long time. She raised her head, looked at the wound on Gao Yan's forehead, and sighed helplessly, "Whatever, whatever, what do you want me to do?"

"Please mother come forward and inform your majesty of the important matter, and then issue an edict to abolish it."

"You can go out and I'll think about it again."

"only!!"

"ah!!"

"Kill me if it hurts!!"

"aunt!!"

Lou Rui was pinned to the ground, and officials stood on both sides with their heads lowered, listening to Lou Rui's screams.

The two soldiers in charge of the execution were stunned at this moment.

They took the hint from the Prime Minister and obviously didn't use much force.
