It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 152. Chapter 152.

There are not no such examples in the previous dynasty.The emperor was young and inexperienced, and everything was decided by his mother, the queen mother.

But all of this is based on the fact that the emperor was young and ignorant. At present, Emperor Longtai is missing, and the crown prince Ji Changhe is already weak, and he can handle the state affairs independently. Why do we need Empress Nalan, a woman in the deep palace, to give pointers?

Don't mention how disgusted and dissatisfied the old courtiers are with Empress Nalan's actions.

As soon as Queen Nalan's words hit the ground, an old minister immediately jumped out to spoil the situation. He spoke eloquently, "Since ancient times, the rooster has been the morning, and the only thing that leads to the family is Xia Jie, Daji, Zhou Youwang and Baosi, Which one is not a confidante? The queen empress respects the world, and she must know the truth that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Your majesty has appointed a crown prince, and the name is justified. The empress empress also invites the prince to ask about politics."

Not to mention that there is a crown prince herself, Queen Nalan's political reputation is not right, even if she doesn't, who would be willing to be suppressed by a woman?
"Please think twice, Empress Dowager."

"Please ask the prince to act as an agent of the government."

……

If there is one, there are two, I saw a group of Qingliu veterans with clear distinctions began to launch a fierce attack on Empress Nalan.That posture felt like Empress Nalan was a heinous criminal, and it was only because she provoked the authority of a patriarchal world.

Empress Nalan had already expected the current situation.

The Nalan family has a weak foundation. It started in the Xianzong Dynasty, relying on the elder sister of the imperial concubine Lou. How much respect is given by ordinary ministers does not mean that the Nalan family, which is poor and white at the beginning, is regarded by those self-proclaimed famous and powerful families.

Even though Nalan's family now has a queen and a prince, plus Nalan's mother and son, it can be said that the court is full of illustrious.However, some ministers who pay attention to rules and etiquette are not very impressed with Empress Nalan's successor.

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that Empress Zhaode's pearls and jades are in front.Empress Zhaode became famous all over the world, not only because of her unparalleled appearance, but also because of her extraordinary wisdom and charisma, which won the favor of everyone.

No matter how pedantic the courtier was, he used a magnifying glass to look for flaws in Empress Zhaode, but he couldn't find them.

Emperor Longtai missed Empress Zhaode, and held funerals and commemorative activities with great momentum in the past few years. When Empress Nalan took the stage, not only did Empress Zhaode disappear from everyone's mouths, but Emperor Longtai no longer mourned as high-profilely as in the past. In memory of Empress Zhaode.

There are twists and turns here, anyone who thinks about it seriously will know that it is a trick played by Empress Nalan.It is true that some ministers thought that Emperor Longtai's sacrifice of his husband to his wife was inappropriate, and it was even more unacceptable to directly order that condolences were not allowed as Queen Nalan did.

Empress Nalan is jealous and intolerable, which has aroused some people's resentment. In addition, the Nalan family has become more and more arrogant and out of tune in recent years. Prince Ji Changhe and Ji Changzheng fought in the ring, which also caused official troubles one after another. .

So many things, everything is inseparable from Queen Nalan.

Therefore, Empress Nalan's reputation has already been preliminarily estimated in the minds of all the ministers.

Empress Nalan looked at the well-behaved old ministers, and smiled, "Did the palace let the lovers speak up just now? Come here, invite Mr. Xu out, and don't allow him to step into the Golden Palace again."

As soon as the words were finished, a man in a black coat suddenly appeared. He unceremoniously dragged the plausible old minister and came directly to a "driver".

From just now to now, that Master Xu didn't open his mouth, only because the man rudely stuffed a cloth into his mouth, then ordered acupuncture points again, and threw him out.

If Ji Shaoyuan had been present, she would have noticed that Yang Yunling's father-in-law Shang Shu was making eye contact with Empress Nalan in her previous life.

Empress Nalan's ruthless methods successfully deterred a group of people, but of course, there were also a group of people who did not buy it.

"Empress, you just said that His Majesty was assassinated, can I ask you more questions?"

A military commander came out and expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts in a loud voice.

All right, how could Emperor Longtai be assassinated?Why haven't they heard anything?

The most important thing is, what happened to Empress Nalan and Ji Changhe?

All kinds of doubts lingered in everyone's hearts, but no one dared to face Queen Nalan.

Who made the last person who did this have been thrown out by Queen Nalan's people?
Empress Nalan heard this, and replied in a formulaic tone: "Your Majesty was assassinated because the palace servants who acted recklessly harbored evil intentions and intentionally harmed His Majesty. Now the Palace has detained the palace servants who are suspected to be investigated one by one. It must not be long before those behind the scenes Blackhand will come to the surface."

Who the murderer was, Empress Nalan deliberately did not mention.Anyway...

"Your Majesty's dragon body is critical and needs to be recuperated." The general then changed the subject, "However, does the empress have an order from her majesty? .”

The reason why Empress Nalan caused an uproar as soon as she appeared was because she suddenly listened to the government behind the curtain, which directly stunned all civil and military officials.

If Emperor Longtai had an imperial decree first, even if the civil and military officials had opinions on Empress Nalan, they would not dare to speak out.

Empress Nalan smiled, "Prince, please read the imperial decree."

Prince Ji Changhe shrank his neck, he was completely different from the calmness of the past, more helpless and sad, he tremblingly wanted to take out a bright yellow-capped imperial edict from his sleeve, but a cold female voice spoke out. Interrupted, "Empress Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince, can I have a meeting with His Majesty?"

Xun Zhiqing helped Emperor Longtai train the Xiaoqi Battalion, and he was a third-rank general. Although Empress Nalan is now in power and speaks her mind, she still dare not act rashly in the face of Xun Zhiqing who has soldiers in her hands.

Xun Zhiqing is Emperor Longtai's confidant, and also a general under Xiao Yue's command, and has inextricable relationship with Ji Shaoyuan.

Empress Nalan's expression remained unchanged, "General Xun, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. General Xun has made great military achievements and is heroic. Don't forget that you are still a daughter. After all, it is not convenient for a single man and a widow to live in the same room."

Up to now, Empress Nalan can only choose to conceal the whereabouts of Emperor Longtai.

Once Xun Zhiqing met Emperor Longtai, her plan would have failed.

Xun Zhiqing showed a smile, "Empress, Your Majesty's kindness to the general is as great as a mountain. The general today depends on your majesty's eyesight to recognize talents. Your Majesty is seriously ill, and I feel very sorry. If the queen is worried about my minister and Your Majesty too If you get too close and attract gossip, it's better for the empress to send a few more people to follow Weichen, just to have a look."

Xun Zhiqing could guess what Empress Nalan was planning.

It's just that Empress Nalan's attack was sudden, her foundation was too shallow, and the climate was not enough. A military general like Xun Zhiqing who had military power in his hands would not worry about Empress Nalan like a civil servant.

On the contrary, Empress Nalan had to be wary of them.

Xun Zhiqing was so generous with the emperor's kindness that he successfully stimulated Empress Nalan to say, "General Xun, you are the general's subordinate. Now the general is going to Jiayang with Princess Xiangli. Is General Xun intentionally committing an overreach?"

After all, Empress Nalan is also the mother of a country, and the weight of what she said cannot be underestimated.

Xun Zhiqing said: "I don't dare. I have followed the General for many years. I understand the General's temperament. If he were in the capital, I think the Empress would not be so safe and sound."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.No one expected that Xun Zhiqing, who was always cautious, would dare to speak ill of Empress Nalan.

This is blatant provocation.

Empress Nalan narrowed her eyes, "General Xun, do you know what happened in Zhaoyang Palace?"

"Empress, but it's okay to say."

Xun Zhiqing's face was pale.

I am afraid that Empress Nalan will not let go, as long as she is willing to speak, then this game will definitely be broken.

Empress Nalan announced in a cold tone: "There is actually a puppet that curses His Majesty hidden in Zhaoyang Palace. In the name of the lord of the Six Palaces, this palace interrogates and investigates the palace people of Zhaoyang Palace. Unexpectedly, someone committed suicide by biting his tongue. I am worried What else will happen in Zhaoyang Palace, directly ordered Zhaoyang Palace to be sealed off, no one is allowed to come out or come near. General Xun, you have a close relationship with Princess Xiangli, I don’t know how to explain this matter?”

Witch Gu curses, crimes and family, this kind of thing happened in Zhaoyang Palace, the master Princess Xiangli is beyond doubt, she must be suspected of innocence.

Xun Zhiqing heard the words and asked back, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty at Zhaoyang Palace has always sent many people to protect Princess Xiangli. Princess Xiangli and the general are far away in Jiayang, and they are beyond reach. Your Majesty was assassinated and needs to rest. My minister I feel that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. It is not appropriate to rely on the empress to open her mouth when Princess Xiangli is not around."

"Xun Zhiqing, do you want to oppose the palace?" Empress Nalan was sullen, "The ruler and minister are inferior, General Xun, you forgot, just stay in the mansion and reflect on yourself."

Without further ado, let the guards take Xun Zhiqing away.

But I didn't want to, at this time, a big man who everyone ignored but couldn't ignore appeared, "This princess is here, who would dare to take General Xun away?"

"See Eldest Princess."

I saw the majestic Princess Shengping, with a phoenix robe on her body, and a solemn expression. Behind her came a group of guards in golden armor wearing masks.

Empress Nalan's face changed drastically, "This is..."

Hong Luowei, a name that is both familiar and unfamiliar, appears in front of the public in this peculiar way.

Does Ji Shaoyuan, who is far away in Jiayang, know about the various turmoil in the capital?
He must have known it. The moment the incident happened, the capital sent pigeons to pass the letter to Ji Shaoyuan.

When Ji Shaoyuan received the news, the corners of his mouth turned up, "Queen Nalan really made a move."

She never underestimated Queen Nalan's ability.Obviously not in the favor of Emperor Longtai, but firmly settled in the back position, and the results of managing power are also visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Yue asked Ji Shaoyuan: "What is Your Highness going to do?"
