Chapter 2396 Changxin Palace
"absurd!"

It was a rare opportunity for his subordinates to gather in the court, but they were squeezed out. How could the new emperor not seize this opportunity?

He failed to persuade the Empress Dowager who was in a strange state, but the new emperor went to Changxin Palace.

In Changxin Palace, the Empress Dowager opened her mouth and scolded again and again.

"The young one is ridiculous, the old one is ridiculous too, this court doesn't look serious at all!"

Instead of discussing state affairs, the government arrested and impeached a man who urinated randomly. The Empress Dowager felt that the current court was rotten to the core and the quality of officials was also questionable.

If the country relies on this group of people to govern, the situation will only get worse.

"I think there are too many pedantic people in the court. Do we need to invite some truly talented people to do the work?" the new emperor asked respectfully.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother frowned for a few seconds before asking, "Who do you think is talented?"

"Marquis Wu'an Tian Fen is humble and able to listen to other people's suggestions. He is also my uncle. I think Marquis Wu'an is capable of taking on the important task," the new emperor said with pursed lips.

"Your Majesty is concerned about his uncle, this is a good thing!"

The Queen Mother nodded in praise, but there was also some hesitation on her face.

"Your Majesty, do you have anyone else to recommend?" The Queen Mother said, "Your uncle can't stand alone. I'm afraid he can't stand firm in the court!"

"Uncle, can't you stand firm even with the support of Weiyang Palace and Changxin Palace?" asked the new emperor.

"What we want is a complete victory and a firm foothold, not internal strife and internal strife. That kind of situation will do no good to the Han Dynasty," said the Queen Mother.

"Han Anguo, the commander of the Northern Territory, is very powerful and has no factional support in the court. He can cooperate with my uncle," the new emperor recommended.

"I've heard of this Han Anguo!"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them.

"He is at the level of the Self-centered Realm, and is good at the art of armor. Although he mainly uses magic, he can fight like a warrior, and is not afraid of the struggle between civil and military law. He is a rare talent in cultivation." The Queen Mother said, "Moreover, he is extremely wealthy, with at least 90 million coins. The source of his money is not proper. If he wants to fight evil with evil, he still has some merits, and can be qualified for the position of Imperial Censor held by Zhuang Qingzhai!"

The Empress Dowager described Han Anguo's background in detail, even down to his family property, and mentioned the positions that Han Anguo could be qualified for.

The new emperor's heart trembled slightly when he heard this.

Even if Han Anguo surrendered to the new emperor, the information he obtained would not be as comprehensive as that of the empress dowager.

As the wife of Emperor Jing, the Empress Dowager of Changxin Palace was just like Emperor Jing, hidden deep and capable of delivering a fatal blow.

Anle Palace arranged for Empress Dowager Dou to be the successor, but the Empress Dowager was only inferior to the Grand Empress Dowager, not inferior to Empress Dowager Dou. In fact, her management over the years has its own unique characteristics.

"Why don't you consider Dou Ying?" the Queen Mother asked. "Dou Ying is the most versatile person in the court, second only to Zhou Yafu!"

"Dou Ying is also very good," the new emperor nodded and said, "When I first came to power, I chose Dou Ying as prime minister, but he didn't stand firm and didn't bring any help to me!"

In the past, Dou Ying could not compete with Anle Palace, but now, Dou Ying does have a chance to compete, but the new emperor does not want to give the other party another chance, but gives this opportunity to Han Anguo.

The Queen Mother's expression did not change, but her eyes were deep, and it was obvious that she was constantly thinking and calculating.

"I know about this, Your Majesty can rest assured," the Queen Mother finally said, "If there is a change in the court, even if it is just a rotation of officials, big and small, this court will not fall!"

"It's good to have mother's support for this matter. Then I will feel relieved!"

The new emperor's heart trembled.

Obviously, compared to the loyal officials cultivated by the new emperor, the Empress Dowager's lineage had already made various arrangements.

Perhaps due to Emperor Jing’s style, the people appointed by the Empress Dowager were not conspicuous.

But even if the people in the court were replaced, these people under the Empress Dowager were capable of taking over various affairs in the court.

"You... Your Majesty does not need to care about this ridiculous farce. Even if the person you arranged is pushed out, Your Majesty can always promote him back in the future!"

After some complaints were made, the new emperor was about to leave after paying his respects. When he was about to leave Changxin Palace, the empress dowager hesitated for a few seconds and could not help but give him another warning.

"But forget about Dongfang Shuo," said the Queen Mother, "It's not unfair for a man like him to be excluded!"

"Hey!"

The new emperor bowed his head and responded.

He originally wanted to use Zhang Xuezhou as a benchmark so that other officials could be compared with him in the future and it would also be convenient to remove some officials from their positions. He never expected that such a thing would happen.

No matter how outrageous the court officials were, it was impossible for them to follow Zhang Xuezhou's example and urinate in the Qilin Pavilion, and thus be stripped of their official positions.

The new emperor found the matter very irritating at the time.

But after he filed the complaint in Changxin Palace, his passionate heart quickly cooled down.

It is obvious that even if the new emperor passes the hurdle of the Grand Empress Dowager, there is still an Empress Dowager above him.

If he arranged everything in a hurry, there would be a high probability that he would conflict with the Queen Mother.

It was bad, but it was also kind of fortuitous.

The empress dowager, who usually did not like to participate in state affairs, even said, "Even if the officials, big and small, are rotated, the court will not fall." This overlapped with what Emperor Jing had entrusted to her in the past.

The new emperor bowed respectfully and left the Changxin Palace.

"The Empress Dowager has reached Nirvana. Her health must be really failing!"

After the new emperor took his leave and sent away the eunuchs and palace maids around him, the empress dowager continued to think, and a hint of fear that had been hidden before appeared on her face.

"She was actually thinking about killing me!"

Whenever she thought of the raging flames, the Empress Dowager felt unstoppable fear in her heart.

It was like surviving a disaster. Whenever she thought about what happened, she felt a chill in her heart.

It was an object beyond her control, and possessed a striking power ten times greater than hers.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the raging flames did not last too long and moved a little further away from her, dissipating before they could envelope her body.

Watching helplessly as she was about to be suppressed, and then watching helplessly as the Empress Dowager's energy, who was suppressing her, dissipated, the Empress Dowager felt indescribable.

If the physical body fails, the physical body will not last.

If the Grand Empress Dowager in the past was a sick tiger, still retaining the power to suppress others, the current Grand Empress Dowager is no longer to be feared after her physical condition has collapsed.

She said a lot today, and her style was different from her usual style, which was not without relevant influences.

"This old killer has been controlling the late emperor for only a few decades. Now that he is lying in bed unable to move, he still wants to use his magic to drag me away. If it weren't for the fact that we have invited a master like Li Shaojun to take charge of Anle Palace, I must seek justice today!"

The Queen Mother cursed.

But she did not feel relaxed when she looked towards Anle Palace.

The Empress Dowager was no longer able to function, but the people she invited were staying in Anle Palace to help.

It wasn’t a long time, just two months.

This was the time when Li Shaojun of Yunyi Taoist Temple began to practice in seclusion and disappeared, and it was also the time when the cultivators of the True Self Realm began to emerge in Anle Palace and the purple mist began to rise into the sky.

The overlap of the two made it hard for the Empress Dowager not to think that the person in charge of Anle Palace was Li Shaojun.

"This Li Shaojun was originally recommended to His Majesty, but he was snatched away by Anle Palace. There are only a few people who can socialize with Li Shaojun. Li Shaojun was recommended by Dongfang Shuo. If we can keep Li Shaojun from interfering in Anle Palace..."

The Empress Dowager chanted a few times, only to find it difficult to communicate with Li Shaojun who was in charge of Anle Palace, and there were very few people who could really communicate with him.

She thought about it again and again, and finally had to mention the ridiculous young official who was able to communicate with Li Shaojun.
