The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

Chapter 246
"Prime Minister!"

The people beside him reminded in a low voice.

"The empress dowager is clearly the one who wants to promote the Liu family. It's useless for you to refute now. I'm afraid the empress dowager will follow you, so don't..."

Fu Chengxiang was silent for a moment, and regardless of this person's dissuasion, he said loudly to the Queen Mother: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Liu Shu has never participated in scientific research before, nor has he had any experience in working in the household department. People can't be so casual when they go up. Please think twice, Queen Mother."

The person who persuaded Prime Minister Fu sighed, and silently retreated to the side.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and most people were observing the movement.

The queen mother couldn't see her expression clearly behind the curtain, but such silence made people feel uneasy.

Fu Chengxiang stood there with his back straightened, without any intention of compromising.

The queen mother's move is clearly cronyism.

After a while, the Empress Dowager gave a meaningful "Oh": "Ministers, do you have the same thoughts as Prime Minister Fu?"

The hall fell silent again.

"It seems..."

"My minister agrees!"

The queen mother was about to speak, when suddenly a minister stood up, the queen mother paused, and looked at the minister standing with Fu Chengxiang with unkind eyes.

The person who persuaded Prime Minister Fu just now stood up after hesitating for a moment: "The minister also seconded the proposal. Liu Shu has not participated in it and has no experience in doing things. If the Empress Dowager really wants to promote this person, she can first arrange for him to be familiarized with the household department or other places. If you really have the ability, it will not be too late to fill the vacancy of the Minister of the Household Department. Besides, the appointment and removal of officials in the court is a major event. Now that the emperor is not here, you can't make a rash decision. Please think twice."

This is already a compromise.

Opposing the Empress Dowager to directly let Liu Shu fill the vacancy of the servant of the household department, and to a certain extent satisfy the Empress Dowager's wish to arrange Liu Shu into the court.

The Empress Dowager spoke in a bad tone: "Since you are opposed to this matter, who do you think can fill the vacancy in the household department? The affairs of the household department are complicated. Don't tell me that those things just pile up like this?"

Fu Chengxiang said: "The household department still has the minister, the right servant, and the inspector under the door. Why is there no one in charge?"

"Prime Minister Fu!" The queen mother said angrily, and was about to reprimand when another person suddenly stood up.

"Empress Dowager, I think Master Li is right, why don't you let Liu Shu enter the household department to help with things, examine his character and ability, and if he is really good, it will not be too late to order him to take office."

The Queen Mother frowned and looked over.

This person is part of the Queen Mother's party. Saying this at this time is tantamount to calming down the Queen Mother. It is not a good thing to have a conflict with Fu Chengxiang and his group on the first day today.

The Queen Mother calmed down and thought for a moment.

Liu Shu advanced to the household department, and she decided whether she was satisfied or not afterwards?
She snorted softly and said, "In that case, according to what you said, I will order Liu Shu to work in the household department first, and the appointment as the servant of the household department will be put aside for the time being. What else do you have to say?"

"..."

The hall was quiet again.

In the past, I went directly to King Jiu'an and Prime Minister Fu to discuss things and deal with them.

Now that the queen mother has come forward, people from the queen mother's party will report back in private if they have something to say, instead of people from the queen mother's party who either disdain, wait and see, or really have nothing to say.

After a moment of silence, the Empress Dowager announced her withdrawal from court.

As soon as he came out of the court hall, Prime Minister Fu's face was sullen, and the expressions of the adults beside him were also not very good.

"The empress dowager obviously wants to support the Liu family again while the emperor is away. The emperor didn't care about what the Liu family did before. Now it can be done like this. The empress dowager is going too far!"

"What's the use of talking about it now? I think the queen mother must support the Liu family. As long as Liu Shu enters the household department, he will only go up in the future and will not go down again. But now the emperor is not there."

While speaking, several people shook their heads and sighed.

After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother.

As courtiers, they only have the right to advise, but they cannot force the Queen Mother to do anything.

If the emperor is here, how can such power fall into the hands of the queen mother.

But now that the emperor is missing, this matter has not yet been resolved, making people feel that the future is bleak!

"Prime Minister." Someone came back to his senses and asked Fu Chengxiang: "What do you think of the current situation?"

Fu Chengxiang frowned, and couldn't think of any way to deal with it for a while. They couldn't quarrel with the Queen Mother just because of a Liu Shu. The incident of the emperor's disappearance was already a serious matter. If there was another quarrel, I'm afraid Not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Fu Chengxiang said: "I have to think about this matter. I also ask you to think about how to deal with it. For the rest... let's perform their own duties. It would be great if the emperor can come back as soon as possible."

Even if the emperor can't come back at this time, it would be good to find the news of the emperor.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Prime Minister Fu returned home and locked himself in the study. Fu Miao came with hot tea and pushed the door to enter the old piece.

"Father, my daughter heard that you were in the study as soon as you came back. You brought some hot tea and snacks to fill your stomach. Even if it's for the great affairs of the country, you can't ignore your own health."

While talking, Fu Miao took hot tea and snacks from the maid and put them on the table, and signaled the maid to go out before walking to Fu Chengxiang.

"father?"

Only then did Fu Chengxiang come back to his senses, and seeing that it was Fu Miao, he shook his head and sighed: "At this moment, how can I have any appetite?"

Fu Miao sensed that something was wrong: "Father, is something wrong? Or are you worried about my sister? Husband has already gone after her, but she hasn't come back yet. Maybe my sister is worried that the emperor will go fast, but nothing will happen. .”

But Prime Minister Fu just shook his head.

"Dad, what happened?"

Prime Minister Fu looked back at Fu Miao, and was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by the noise outside. Prime Minister Fu frowned and looked outside. The next moment, he saw a general in armor rushing in with a team of soldiers. Quickly glanced inside, and then a few soldiers stepped forward!

Fu Chengxiang's face changed: "Who are you, dare to trespass on my house!"

The leading general snorted and said, "Prime Minister Fu, I was ordered to arrest you. Someone told the empress dowager that you, Prime Minister Fu, concealed the news of the emperor's disappearance and colluded with cronies. His intention is to be punished. He will send you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough investigation." !"

As soon as the words fell, two soldiers had already stepped forward to hold Fu Chengxiang from left to right. Fu Miao wanted to step forward to stop him, but was pushed aside by the soldiers and hit the table, her face paled in pain and unable to get up.

After a while, Mrs. Fu, Fu Tiao, and Aunt Zhou were all turned over.

The general said: "Prime Minister Fu, are you going to follow us obediently? Or let your family members go with us?"

"master!"

"father!"
