I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 159 Today’s Zhonghe Hall is too scary

Yang Guofu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the empress again.

But my heart felt inexplicably.

Li Jiulang suddenly knelt down and asked your Majesty to see what I was doing.

Is it to see my reaction?
Still want me to do something.

Yang Guofu lowered his head and speculated secretly in his heart.

But immediately, Yang Guofu was suddenly surprised because he thought that he was actually speculating on the holy will.
自己
He is actually speculating on the holy will! ?
When the new emperor succeeded to the throne three years ago, he didn't care at all about the little girl sitting above him. The empress was just a little girl in the royal family who had achieved the dragon position.

No idea at all!

Therefore, in the past three years, even though he went to court, he found that this little girl always looked at everyone and looked at the submissive ones, so he didn't care even more.

Sometimes I notice that little girl looking at me, but I just look back, what are I afraid of?

That's all.

Not to mention guessing what that little girl is thinking, guessing what that is for, I can do whatever I want!

But now
Yang Guofu found that he did not dare to look directly at His Majesty, and even began to think about what she was thinking!

Except for Yang Guofu
Almost everyone in the hall was surprised that Li Jiulang suddenly knelt down to apologize.

Li Jiulang naturally knew that everyone was looking at him at the moment, so he took out another memorial from his arms, holding it in both hands and said loudly: "My crime is that after the death of the late emperor, I assisted Li Nichang in his treacherous behavior. , and also assisted Li Nichang to form a party. His former students Wang Maoqing, Ding Ruzhen, Zhu Kewen and other high-ranking officials in the court planned to form a traitor party, humiliate His Majesty's youth, cause chaos in the government, bring trouble to the city, disrupt the imperial examination, and form a party. People even used the reputation of Li Nishang and me to falsely claim military merit, cause trouble to the people, enclose and occupy land, and other crimes. These crimes are heinous! There are ten major crimes in total!"

"The first crime is that when His Majesty came to the throne, Li Nichang ordered Wang Maoqing and Zhu Kewen to discuss everything with the ministers because of His Majesty's good administration. Zhu Kewen took advantage of his position as a minister and tampered with His Majesty's orders without authorization. In order to achieve one's own benefit, Zhu Kewen would occasionally tell others that the Emperor had no such intention, and that the matter was discussed by Li Nichang, for fear that the people in the world would not know the origin of the matter. It is also for myself. This is to cover up the emperor's political achievements and tell the people of the world that your majesty is mediocre and inactive. The things that benefit the world are all done by Li Nichang, Zhu Kewen, Wang Maoqing and others. I know this, but because I miss Li Nichang as a relative Sister, I turned a blind eye and did not stop him from doing this. This is my crime."

this finished
Li Jiulang looked at Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Li Jiulang expressionlessly.

Because I had known for a long time that Li Jiulang would apologize like this. After all, it was a promise.

In the name of pleading guilty, expose the crimes of Li Nichang, Yan Jingqing, and Zhu Kewen.

As for purpose
Xia Fengxiang has been watching Yang Guofu.

But everyone in the hall took a breath.

Looking at the back of Li Jiulang kneeling on the ground with his back straight, and his hands holding Zuo Shu, he was inexplicably moved.

You are serious!

Your Majesty has taken the initiative to help you avoid Li Nichang this morning. Now you only need to criticize Li Nichang!
Even some of Xia Fengxiang's close ministers, Zhang Gu and others, did not expect that Li Jiulang would suddenly behave like this.

Zhang Gu even planned to go up and stop him, but seeing the emperor's expression as usual, he inexplicably remembered that when he was at the Ministry of Household Affairs the day before yesterday, Li Jiulang came to his place of business and explained many things about the Ministry of Household Affairs in detail.

At that time, Zhang Gu felt that Li Jiulang's sudden behavior was because he wanted to focus on the affairs of the Wa country and handed over many matters of the household department to him.

But now it seems that Li Jiulang was probably already prepared for this at that time.

Yang Guofu lowered his head, not daring to speak, let alone say anything, not even daring to breathe.

Because of what Li Jiulang said
Yang Dang also did it! !
And because the Tutor is the Minister of Tuogu, he did it even more excessively than the Queen Mother Party!
When he heard Li Jiulang talking about this crime, Yang Guofu didn't dare to say anything.

Yang Dang was not mentioned in every sentence, but Yang Dang was mentioned in every sentence!

Li Jiulang continued to speak: "In the past, the imperial censor wrote a memorial to impeach the Queen Mother, Zhu Kewen, Wang Maoqing and others who were oppressing the Queen Mother. However, Wang Maoqing intercepted the memorial in the middle, and the memorial did not reach the ears of heaven, nor was it sent to the hands of Zhongshu Ling. Then Zhu Kewen and Wang Maoqing retaliated and imprisoned Mr. Yan Ci Yan in a prison for three months for abusing his power. Although he was rescued by His Majesty, Mr. Yan Ci Yan was upright and unyielding. After he was released from prison, he insulted the king in the street. His Majesty tried his best to protect him, but at that time, his Majesty was unable to protect Master Yan. Therefore, the king and Zhu held a grudge and used the Queen Mother's handwriting to express stern words. Master Yan was exiled to the poisonous and hot place in southern Xinjiang until now. Although I know it, but He did not take action to stop the two of them, he refused to save them, and turned a blind eye. Although he did not participate, he saw Da Xia Zhongliang being killed by a traitor. This is the second crime of the minister!"

Everyone heard the name Yan Ci.

They bowed their heads one after another, and many loyal people bowed their heads in shame.

Because they were also hampered by the huge power of the Queen Mother Party, so some people tried to protect Yan Ci, but in the end they still failed to prevent the old man from being exiled.

Beads of sweat already appeared on Yang Guofu's forehead.

He is also involved in this matter!
Although the people apparently involved were Zhu Kewen, Wang Maoqing, and Li Nichang.

But because he, Yang Guofu, hated Yan Ci's prickliness, and because Yan Ci had publicly insulted him and his father, Yang Shanchang, he pushed him secretly at the beginning.

Yan Ci was originally punished by being demoted to the border county magistrate, but now Yan Ci was exiled to a poor place like Raojiang, and was even demoted one level to the county magistrate.

Yang Guofu almost forgot about this.

But if this matter is brought up now, if the verdict is reversed, it will definitely be found that Yang Guofu secretly had a hand behind his back.

Although it is not as good as Zhu Kewen and the other main culprits, can this matter be known to His Majesty now?
So there were beads of sweat on Yang Guofu's forehead.

Li Jiulang looked straight at Xia Fengxiang: "In the first year of Tianshou, His Majesty ascended the throne to establish Enke. Zhu Kewen, Wang Maoqing, Luo Shiwang and others made a lot of money on the occasion of Enke. They wasted no time in the name of the imperial examination in Daxia and used the imperial examination to collect bribes. , ignoring the examination papers of poor students and only accepting bribes. During this period, 37 students, including Du Hong, the governor of Fuyang in Xiangzhou, and Ning Ling'er, the governor of Lin'an in Jiaodong, were the people who were facilitated by Enke. Later, they bribed Li Nichang , Zhu Kewen, and Luo Shiwang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, have a prosperous official career. I knew about this and did not stop it. This minister has three crimes."

"Two years given by heaven."

Li Jiulang continued to talk about his crimes.

Tianshu is the reign title of Xia Fengxiang after he ascended the throne.

but
Every time Li Jiulang said this, Yang Guofu would sweat even more on his forehead and back!

And it's not just him.
The crimes Li Jiulang mentioned were all crimes that were serious enough to be beheaded, and many people from the Yang Party were involved in these crimes.

As for the third crime just mentioned, Yan Jingqing did this every year during the imperial examination.

In addition, Li Jiulang just said that Wang Maoqing embezzled river work funds. Regarding that matter, Yan Jingqing and Wang Maoqing were evenly divided at that time!There are also other things such as the enclosure and occupation of land by a few people from the Queen Mother's party.People from the Yang Party did a lot of things, and they did it in the name of the army.

so.
Yang Guofu was sweating profusely and stood there without daring to say a word. This was especially true for him, Yan Jingqing and other members of the Yang Party.

Li Jiulang mentioned nine points in one breath. Although the above nine points are talking about the Queen Mother Party, Party Yang has done more or less these things. In some cases, Party Yang has even gone too far!Things like imperial examinations.

Li Jiulang continued to speak: "The tenth crime of this minister is that I am a scholar in vain. I am ashamed of the late emperor, I am ashamed of the people of Great Xia, I am ashamed of my sinful heart, and I am even more ashamed of your majesty. The late emperor is critically ill, and he has ordered us and all of us to serve. Your Majesty, you have strengthened me, Daxia, to fulfill the late Emperor's ambitions, but I have violated the late Emperor's order because of my personal affairs. This is a sinful minister who deceives the emperor and is disrespectful. On top of the ten sins, there are countless minor sins. Your Majesty, please read it. "

Having said that, Li Jiulang held up the memorial in his hands.

After hearing the last sentence, Yang Guofu was completely convinced that this was not an apology for himself.

This is him, this is Yang Dang!

Although many things here were prohibited by the Taifu's orders, Yang Guofu did very little about some of the top ten sins.

But I did it!
The most important thing.
What are the nine sins above?
Compared with the tenth crime, it is worth it!

Although the obvious meaning of the tenth crime is that he did not obey the late emperor's will, and turned a blind eye to His Majesty being bullied by powerful officials.

but
Who is the powerful minister, and who bullied His Majesty.

There is
Only Li Jiulang was entrusted by the first emperor?
His father, he was even present when the late emperor entrusted him with it! !
Yang Guofu raised his eyes and looked at Li Jiulang, who was kneeling on the ground with his forehead pressed to the ground because Feng Chun had taken away the memorial.

Subconsciously, he raised his eyes again.

then
Yang Guofu saw His Majesty looking at him and looking at him again!

And this time.
Yang Guofu was suddenly stunned.

Three years ago, when he saw the emperor who had just ascended the throne, he laughed at him for being an emperor in vain, like a wailing dragon waiting to be fed.

But looking at it now, it looks like there is a ferocious dragon behind it, with fangs and claws, it is majestic and terrifying.The blood-red eyes looked directly at him, and he was terrified!

Sudden.

Yang Guofu saw Xia Fengxiang looking at him and smiled.

Yang Guofu was horrified, as if he saw the dragon behind Xia Fengxiang scorning him. Oh, by the way, Xia Fengxiang also looked at him and smiled like this three years ago.Why did I come here at that time? It seemed that after I returned home, I told Yan Jingqing and others about the little girl with a yellow mouth, and I could only giggle while sitting on the dragon throne.

Three years
No, that's not right. I've been hiding my clumsiness from before, but now it's just revealed.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Zhang Gu stood up.

This sound brought Yang Guofu back to his senses, but when he came back to his senses, he found that his inner clothes were already wet with cold sweat.

Zhang Gu stood up and bowed to the empress and then said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Li said about Wang Maoqing and Zhu Kewen's traitors is true. But what do you think about the crimes committed by traitors Wang Maoqing, Zhu Kewen and others?" It is Mr. Li's crime that can be convicted. What's more, Mr. Li has a good reputation among the people. During the New Year and festivals, he will send food, food, clothing, etc. to the villages around the capital, and this is in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs, not in the name of an individual. . The household department is my household department of Daxia, Daxia is your majesty, and everyone whom the people feel is your majesty!"

"During Lord Li's tenure as Minister of Household Affairs, Daxia's treasury was full. Whenever there was a war or disaster, only the warehouse in Taicang, the capital, could handle it. Other warehouses were even expanded within three years. This was Lord Li's Great work!"

"Besides the crime that Mr. Li said, Mr. Li has never participated in it. Why is it a crime? I have worked with Mr. Li for decades and I consider myself inferior to Mr. Li. Although he helped the Queen Mother when His Majesty ascended the throne, at that time The situation is that if Mr. Li doesn't help, the Queen Mother can stop it no matter what. But if Mr. Li stops it, then the thief will find her way back?"

"Although we tried our best to deal with Lord Yan Ci, there was nothing we could do. However, I later learned that Lord Li secretly sent someone to take care of Lord Yan Ci during the thousand-mile journey to Raojiang. When he arrived in Raojiang, Lord Li dealt with it. Master Yan was able to serve as the county magistrate in Yifu County, and he took care of everything secretly. How can such a thing be considered a crime? I hope your majesty will understand clearly!"

After saying that, Zhang Gu seemed to have remembered something, and immediately added: "The tenth crime mentioned by Mr. Li was that when the late emperor passed away, many people in the court were present. It was not the fault of Mr. Li alone. That is Most people looked on, but there were some traitors who paid no attention to the legacy of the late Emperor."

thump!
Just when Zhang Gu said this.
However, Yang Guofu directly knelt down next to Li Jiulang, and after interrupting Zhang Gu's words, he bowed his hands and said loudly to Xia Fengxiang: "Your Majesty, what Master Zhang said is absolutely true. I believe that Master Li is not only innocent, but also meritorious." Ah! The thief woman in the court disrupted the affairs of the court. If it weren't for Mr. Li who played a role in it. He and the thief woman seemed to be of the same mind, but they were willing to compromise and protect me with strict words. Mr. Yan was thoughtful and did not say anything. He also protected my Daxia from chaos and protected my Daxia. The people are healthy.”

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is the foundation of the country. If the national treasury is full, our food and wages will be sufficient. This will make our army strong and strong, and we will not be coveted by the barbarians, Tubo, and other countries in the Western Regions. That thief Li Nishang caused cholera in our court. Li Your Excellency, you are independent and do not collude with the thieves, and you are worthy of being the pillar of my Great Xia!"

At this point, Yang Guofu put his forehead to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please be careful and don't listen to Mr. Li's words of apologising."

Yang Guofu's body was shaking.

Many people have seen it.

However, some of them did not understand what Yang Guofu was talking about.
Some people also guessed some.

But really, only a few people know about it.

And Yang Guofu himself knew this matter better.

There is no other reason. The only one who can intercede for Li Jiulang is Yang Guofu, and he can only intercede for him.

Because he is the leader of the Yang Party.

If Your Majesty wants to keep Li Jiulang, the person who pleads for mercy must be him, or his father.

It’s true that this morning’s game was to kill Li Nichang, but now this game
It was arranged for them, Party Yang!
Does Li Nishang need such a big show for that crazy woman?
After collecting the memorial, let the interrogators over there intensify the interrogation, and then go and question those who no longer follow the Queen Mother but follow His Majesty, that's it!

Then tell the world and so on
There is no need for such a big show, that woman deserves it!Rebellious ministers and traitors! !
This is a fucking game for Party Yang!
They want people from the Yang Party, his father Yang Shanchang, and Yang Guofu to come out to protect Li Jiulang!

Besides
Yang Guofu also knew very well that his plea for mercy had failed.
It can be said that the Yang Party surrendered to His Majesty.

This is the situation set by His Majesty.

What happens next.
Perhaps it is to nibble away at them step by step, perhaps to eliminate them, or perhaps to completely ignore them.

Your Majesty has done all this.

But Yang Guofu didn't know what it was specifically, because he couldn't guess it, just like he couldn't guess what the late emperor was going to do before.

But the only thing he knew was that His Majesty didn't do it directly because of Wen Daoji and because he didn't have the real current crimes they committed.

otherwise
Today's Li Nishang can also be today's Yang Shanchang and Yang Guofu!

Yang Guofu didn't know if his father had seen through this, so he asked him to come, but he felt that his father should have noticed something, but he didn't see it clearly, otherwise he would have come in person.

think of this
Yang Guofu once again lamented how terrible the emperor today was, because he asked his father to interrogate him, and even asked Su Wenqing to watch.

How could you let your father do anything like this?
In this situation, if I make any mistakes, it's all because of it! !
Thinking of this, beads of sweat fell on Yang Guofu's forehead.

Because I thought of the memorial in my arms, thankfully I didn't submit it, but directly dictated it, and all the things about the people of the King of Shu were said in the dictation.

As for the memorial, I reserved my thoughts and did not write it.

Thank you for not paying it! !
Thanks to my own dictation, it all came out.

Yang Guofu knelt down and begged for mercy.

Many people in the hall were really stunned, especially Yan Jingqing and other members of the Yang Party.

However, everyone was puzzled, but when Yang Guofu did this, Yan Jingqing and others also stood up one after another, and even knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Zhang. Mr. Yang said that Mr. Li is not guilty."

"Sir, seconded!"

"The minister also agrees."

……

Suddenly, many ministers of Yang's party knelt down.

In addition, many good ministers who knew that although Li Jiulang and the Queen Mother had been together, he had actually done many good deeds behind the scenes and done many conscience-free things, also stood up and begged for mercy.

I don’t understand why Yang Dang came out to plead for mercy.

But if you beg for mercy, that will do.

And even you, Yang Dang, pleaded for mercy, which further proves that Mr. Li and that thief woman Li Nishang are not in the same boat! !
Many people in Yang Dang knelt down.

It also made other courtiers tremble in their hearts. Looking at Xia Fengxiang's playful expression above, they were not only surprised but also extremely excited.

three years.
Three years! ! !
Your Majesty ascends the throne!After that, first the Queen Mother, and later the Taifu and others took control of the government!
Thanks to the Grand Master and others and the people above the court for their hard support!

But even so, the emperor was still bullied.

but now
Kneel down now!

All these people knelt down!
What will happen to Li Nishang, it must be death!

And they must be executed in the palace, and they must not be paraded. In any case, Li Nichang was the queen mother in the past, and it was a matter of the court's face and the dignity of the royal family.

Then there are the father and son, the Taifu!
Although the Taifu is not here now, Yang Guofu is kneeling on the ground and trembling!

how many years
This one-eyed wolf, who usually shows off his power to the extreme, is now kneeling down before the emperor whom he despises! !
Although some of these officials are eager for the emperor to order Yang Guofu to be sent to prison.

But I also know that it is not the time yet, and we must not act like this in government affairs.

But now I saw Yang Guofu like this.

enough!

enough!
Late Emperor!Your Majesty is worthy of your daughter! !
The words "feeling proud" can only be seen on the faces of the officials who have been secretly poking and fighting with the Queen Mother Party of the Yang Party from beginning to end, and only now revealed it!
Xia Fengxiang stood up.

Feng Chun on the side saw His Majesty about to go down, and immediately followed with his head lowered.

All the officials lowered their heads in unison.

When Xia Fengxiang walked downstairs and stood in front of Yang Guofu, looking at the trembling one-eyed wolf, he asked: "I thought Master Yang would learn from Master Li and apologize, but I didn't expect it was for Master Li." plead."

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this.

Among them, Yang Guofu was horrified and did not dare to ask anything. Instead, he pressed his forehead tightly to the ground and kowtowed: "I know the crime!!! Please forgive me!!"
