Chapter 091 Changes in the court situation, Wang Chongs night trip(1/2)

"Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

"Did you see what I hit?"

Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and Wang Qianer's voice was the first to be heard in the room.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Qier had already jumped into the room like an arrow.

"I have met my ancestors, my ancestor Jin An, and my aunt Shu'an."

As soon as Wang Qier entered the door, she saw Minglan chatting and laughing with Mrs. Sheng and Haishi. Mrs. Wang Li held Sister Xiu in her arms, and her face was full of smiles as she listened.

"Sister Qian is back!" The old lady liked Wang Qian'er's temperament the most. When she heard Wang Qian'er's voice, her eyes had already looked towards the door in advance.

"What a beautiful pheasant!" Haishi said in surprise when he saw the colorful golden pheasant held in Wang Qian'er's hand.

Wang Qian'er said: "This is called the Colorful Golden Pheasant. Although it is small, it is very flexible and tight. I am just lucky, otherwise I may not be able to hit it!"

"This hare is not small!" Minglan said this.

Wang Qian'er explained regretfully: "Winter has just begun, and these hares have all eaten fat to survive the winter. If it had been a while, they wouldn't have been so fat."

"Grandma, this colorful golden pheasant has the effect of replenishing the body and qi. I will ask the kitchen to make soup later to replenish your body!" Minglan said with a smile.

"What Auntie said is that it is just in time to replenish the health of our ancestors!" Wang Qier also said with a smile.

Aunt Cui next to her took the initiative to take the pheasant and hare from Wang Qier and took them to the kitchen.

"It's freezing outside. Don't stand here anymore. Go back to the house to wash up and get rid of the cold, so as not to get cold." Old Mrs. Sheng said with concern.

Mrs. Wang Li also said hurriedly: "What the old lady said is to go back to the house quickly to take a bath and change clothes!"

Wang Qian'er said: "My ancestors, martial arts practitioners, are not so particular. Although I am thin, I have strong bones! Normally, seven or eight big men can't get close to me!"

Wang Qian'er pretended to be strong, making several people in the room laugh. Although the two little carrots Ping Ge'er and An Ge'er didn't know what everyone was talking about, everyone laughed when they saw it.

, they all giggled along with it.

Even the most noisy Sister Xiu in Mrs. Wang Li's arms was infected by the surrounding atmosphere and giggled non-stop.

The room was full of laughter and laughter.

At the same time, dozens of miles away in the Imperial City of Tokyo, there was a different scene.

In the palace, Zhao Zongquan, dressed in dragon robe, sat behind the dragon chair. Standing in front were Shen Congxing, Xiao Duan, Liu Zhengjie, Huang Wenwu, Yang Qun and Liu Xian.

Among them, Liu Xian was the oldest. He was the elder brother of Zhao Zongquan's most beloved concubine, Liu Guifei. After Gu Tingye resigned and stayed at home to honor his father, Liu Xian was the one who succeeded Gu Tingye.

In the original drama, he was the one who helped the Queen Mother and Concubine Liu imitate King Yan's intention to rebel and force Zhao Zongquan to abdicate.

In the original drama, Liu Xian took control of the palace affairs department because of the bitter plot planned by the father and son Gu Er and Zhao Zongquan. Gu Er was dismissed from office and imprisoned. Zhao Ceying, the king of Huan, was also arrested by Zhao Zongquan because of Concubine Liu Guifei's instigation.

Disgusted, Shen Congxing was also ignored because of King Huan.

But now that Zhao Ceying has passed away, the queen still has a young son, but he is still young. Concubine Liu's son Zhao Ceyong is now ten years old. It is still unclear whose hands the crown prince position will eventually fall into.

Zhao Zongquan and Shen Congxing knew what Liu Xian and Liu Guifei had planned. However, now that the Queen Mother is in power, Zhao Zongquan, the emperor, has been almost ignored. It is the time to employ people, so naturally they will not care about the details.

After Zhao Zongquan glanced at everyone, he said, "Do you know why I called you here today?"

After several people looked at each other, they all raised their hands and said: "I am so ignorant, Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

Looking at the performance of several people, Zhao Zongquan sighed helplessly, and the figure of Gu Er could not help but appear in his mind. Unfortunately, Gu Er is now observing filial piety for his father. Now that the world is at peace, except in wartime, although he is the emperor, he is also

It was not good to violate the etiquette and law and forcefully summoned Gu Er to return to the court.

"In a few days, it will be Ying'er's death anniversary!" Zhao Zongquan sighed, with a hint of sadness in his expression.

Everyone bowed their hands in greeting and said: "Your Majesty, my condolences!"

Zhao Zongquan said: "Nowadays, all affairs in the court are managed by the Queen Mother, and I seldom have leisure time. You all came to Bianjing from Yuzhou with me and Ying'er. Your relationship with Ying'er has always been very good. I specially brought you all here."

I called here because I want to discuss with you the anniversary of Ying'er's death."

"Congxing, you are Ying'er's uncle, I'll leave this matter to you! Let Xiao Duan and Liu Zhengjie help you!"

Shen Congxing and the others hurriedly handed over their hands to express gratitude: "I obey your order!"

Zhao Zongquan looked at Liu Xiandao and said: "Liu Xian, over there with the front secretary, please be more careful and don't cause any trouble again!"

"I obey the decree!"

"Huang Wenwu, please help Liu Xian more."

"Yang Qun, it's almost the New Year's Eve, and Beijing is getting busier and busier. You are in charge of the city defense camp, so you must strengthen patrols and be careful to prevent any trouble during the New Year."

"I obey the decree!"

······

In the Queen Mother's bedroom, Queen Mother Cao listened to the report of the old chamberlain beside her. She couldn't help but nodded and said with a satisfied look: "Our emperor is quite sensible."

The old chamberlain's surname was Li. He had served Empress Dowager Cao for many years and was a close confidant. Although he was old and could not do many physical things, after the palace coup, he was the only one left around Empress Dowager Cao who could speak.

Those who can be spoken to have always been loyal to Empress Dowager Cao and the late Emperor.

Li Neishi said: "Since the death of King Huan, this new official has indeed changed."

Empress Dowager Cao snorted coldly and said: "The King Huan is not very young, but his ambition is not small. He is full of reform and reform. The late emperor ruled the country for forty years and governed the world with benevolence. In both the government and the public, who would not say that the late emperor was wise and benevolent?"

, I think it is all caused by ambition, wanting to prove that I am stronger than the late emperor!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The eldest lady is absolutely right!" Chamberlain Li bowed and said, "The late emperor has always been kind.

The government and the government worked together, and there was never anything wrong."

"What do you think Han Zhang is thinking?" When she mentioned the name 'Han Zhang', Queen Mother Cao couldn't help but frown, her eyes became sharp, and there was a bit of anger on her face.

"This..." Empress Dowager Cao's question stopped the servant Li beside her: "I am so stupid that I really can't guess what Mr. Han is thinking in his heart!"

Empress Dowager Cao snorted coldly and said: "What else can you think? It's just that I went to see the late emperor. I left the tea to cool down. I'm old, old lady. I don't have a few more years to live, so I hugged the emperor tightly."

Thighs, they are all bastards without kings and fathers!"

The more Empress Dowager Cao talked, the more excited and angrier she became, and finally she started to curse.

"Madam, please calm down! Madam, please calm down!" Chamberlain Li was so frightened that she trembled and hurriedly tried to persuade her. The female chamberlains next to her were all silent and did not dare to make a sound.

"Okay, okay!" After a few curses, Empress Dowager Cao became very angry and said: "The Ai family is not blaming you, the Ai family is scolding that old man Han Zhang for persuading the Ai family to return to power.

After receiving one letter after another, has he forgotten who promoted him to the position of prime minister in the first place?"

"Of course it's the late emperor!" Li Shi said quickly.

"First Emperor!" Empress Dowager Cao glanced at the spacious hall, and all the anger in her heart turned into a sigh.

As time passed, Han Zhang still insisted on submitting letters every day. No matter whether Empress Dowager Cao tore up his papers, threw them away or burned them, Han Zhang still persisted, day after day.

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, those officials who remembered the late emperor's old feelings and supported the Queen Mother. As time went by, the Queen Mother Cao took over the power of the court and interfered in everything. In addition, since Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne,

, he has been working conscientiously for several years. Except for a slight criticism of the posthumous title given to him by King Xian Shu, not only did he not have any shortcomings, but he did everything in an orderly manner.

The southward inspection of salt, the tsunami in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Wang Zhong's rectification of the Salt and Iron Division in the past two years, etc., etc., each one was not led by Zhao Zongquan, but Zhao Zongquan, the emperor, also contributed a lot.

In addition, Zhao Zongquan and Empress Shen were very filial to Empress Dowager Cao every morning and dusk, but Empress Dowager Cao not only did not appreciate it at all, but intensified her efforts. Now that the government has been stable, Empress Dowager Cao still clings to the power of the government.

, you have to ask questions about everything.

It would be fine if Zhao Zongquan was just a boy in his teens, but Zhao Zongquan was a middle-aged man in his forties, who had passed his forties and was in the prime of his life.

The officials in the DPRK also gradually changed their attitude towards Zhao Zongquan, and even began to sympathize with the emperor. However, the domineering behavior of Empress Dowager Cao, who always maintained power in the government, gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials.

After all, the emperor is the most powerful person. Although the queen mother has a noble status, she cannot surpass the emperor and monopolize the power of the government.

In addition, Han Zhang, the prime minister of the dynasty, took the lead and wrote letters one after another, making more and more concessions for the Queen Mother to return to power. This suddenly made Queen Mother Cao angry. The precious teapots, cups, vases and other items in the palace were

One thing after another was smashed.

For several days, the maids in the Queen Mother's palace only dared to serve her with caution, for fear of angering Queen Mother Cao and becoming a fish in the pond.

Empress Dowager Cao was not stupid. After thinking about it for a few days, she finally figured it out.

"Okay, I said it well, but why did I suddenly become obedient? When I saw my arm was broken, I started playing retreat with the Ai family to confuse the Ai family and win over the courtiers.

Sympathy, right?”

"The Ai family just wanted to help the late emperor protect the Zhao family's inheritance. They didn't force the emperor to abdicate, let alone levy excessive taxes. Why did they treat the Ai family like this..."

"Mom, please calm down!"

"Madam, please calm down!"

Even Empress Dowager Li, who knew Empress Dowager Cao best, didn't know how to persuade Empress Dowager Cao. She could only wait for Empress Dowager Cao to vent her anger and calm down some of her inner anger before offering words of comfort.

Today's Empress Dowager Cao is completely different from the former Empress Dowager Cao when Emperor Jiayou was in power.

The former Empress Dowager Cao was as kind and generous as Emperor Jiayou, and she was considerate of the female chamberlains around her. She basically never got angry and treated everyone as if they were taking a breath of fresh air.

However, after she took over the power behind the curtain and took charge of the government, things were better at the beginning. However, as time went by, Empress Dowager Cao's temper became more and more fierce day by day. She often reprimanded officials in the court, even if they were slightly unhappy.

Following her wishes, she cursed loudly and reprimanded her at court, which was just a trivial matter. Some of the censors who were more rude were directly demoted to remote and cold places.

At this moment, the hornet's nest was stirred, and the news that forced Empress Dowager Cao to return power flew to the shore of Empress Dowager Cao like snowflakes.
