When the Regent's Palace was just besieged, Qi Meizhi could still bear not to make trouble. She was busy harvesting power and getting familiar with the government, and she had to do all this herself.

There were too many things to be busy with, and she couldn't care less about causing trouble for Gu Deyin and Princess Yuanjia. After all, she had to stand on the court now, and her previous means and knowledge were no longer enough.

She could only improvise, and Mr. Xuanzhou came to the palace to secretly tutor her. At least she had to learn how to review memorials, otherwise it would be bad for the courtiers to see that she only had half a bucket of water. Some people would definitely dissatisfy her.

Just when she was extremely busy, her son kept causing trouble for her. He always skipped classes and played with things to get frustrated. Everything gave her a headache. During this time, she had to train her son a lot, which made the relationship between mother and son begin to get tense. .

Things were going up again and again. Not only Xiao Mingzhang's whereabouts were unknown on the front line, but also her biological brother Qi Jinzhi had now lost contact. This made her quite uneasy and she could only secretly send someone to find her biological brother.

The Queen Regent was not as easy to handle as she had imagined, and the government was not as easy to handle as she had imagined. This made her angry and increasingly difficult every day.

She could only send more people out to quietly find her biological brother Qi Jinzhi. She needed help. Compared with an outsider like Mr. Zhou, her biological brother was more reliable. At worst, she could promise Gu Deyin to him. As long as she It's okay to be a concubine instead of being a wife.

She couldn't help but feel excited when she thought that Gu Deyin had to rely on her to live her life.

At this time, Princess Yuanjia gradually recovered from her illness, but her face was still a little pale.

The sister-in-law took advantage of the nice weather to play chess on the porch.

Princess Yuanjia was seen gently landing the black piece on the chessboard, thinking and laughing at the same time.

"I have spent many years gaining a foothold in the court. To understand the secrets here, it takes time. Does she think that government affairs are just playing house? How can it be so easy to get started?"

Although she could not leave the Regent's Palace, it was not too difficult for her to cause trouble for Qi Meizhi in the court.

Over the years, she has also developed a force of her own.

Gu Deyin absolutely believed what his sister-in-law said, because it was the same in business.

Once the power is seized, whether it can drive smoothly is a question.

The courtiers are just like the shopkeepers in her shop. On the surface, they are loyal, but everyone has their own selfish motives, and there are many people who eat from the bowl and look at the pot.

Qi Meizhi has been in the imperial mausoleum for so many years, far away from the center of power. She still has a lot to learn.

"Let's take this opportunity to relax, she won't be able to take care of us for a while."

As she spoke, she held the white piece in a defensive position.

Princess Yuanjia raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "That's the reason. I'm waiting for her to make a mistake and eat her car."

Gu Deyin felt sorry for Qi Meizhi in her heart. Princess Yuanjia was not the simple princess who was framed back then. She was now a mature politician. In this regard, Qi Meizhi was not satisfied enough.

Sure enough, Qi Meizhi made a common-sense mistake in dealing with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, which caused an uproar among the courtiers, clamoring for the Queen Mother to reduce her power, otherwise she would miss important national affairs.

This made Qi Mei, who was sitting in a high position, have frost on her face. She had worked so hard, why did they still let them grab her painful foot?
She couldn't help but glared at Mr. Zhou who was supporting him with one hand. He must not have tried his best to teach her.

Mr. Zhou didn't react at all to that unpleasant look. At this time, he said nothing and allowed other courtiers to compete with Qi Mei.

In fact, until now, Qi Meizhi still hasn't understood the principle of governing a big country like cooking small dishes.

The courtiers advanced step by step, which finally made Qi Meizhi furious. She stood up with a cold face and asked sternly.

"Are you planning to rebel by forcing me to do this?"

Upon hearing this, all the court officials hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't dare." They said they didn't dare, but no one took a step back, obviously to force her to surrender and release her power.

Qi Meizhi was so angry that she was trembling all over. These people were clearly bullying her, a weak woman.

She hurriedly took out the handkerchief and cried, "My late emperor, please open your eyes and take a look. Are you leaving us orphans and widows to be bullied?"

This style made many veteran ministers frown, and they looked down upon the woman's methods of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself.

However, Qi Meizhi's crying calmed down the matter. After all, no one wanted to bear the crime of bullying an orphan and a widowed mother, not to mention that the little emperor was still sitting there if he could not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face.

When the young man saw his mother being bullied to the point of crying, he became furious and jumped up and said.

"Whoever bullies my mother today will definitely settle accounts with you one by one when I take charge. You just wait for me."

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers took a step back. They looked at the little emperor with fear, but in their hearts they were thinking about whether they should take the opportunity to oust the little emperor to avoid causing trouble for him in the future.

However, the old fox would not show what he was thinking.

They all knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't dare to do this."

The little emperor sat down again angrily, "I am the Nine-Five Supreme Being. If I want you to live, you will live. If I want you to die, you will die for me."

"Emperor calm down!"

Such words resounded throughout the hall again and again, and the little emperor was comforted.

Qi Meizhi secretly curled up his lips under the veil. Thanks to his son's strength, he should teach this group of people a lesson to save them from all grabbing chicken feathers as arrows.

Mr. Zhou looked at all this coldly, still without saying a word.

This incident allowed Qi Meizhi to pass the test in a muddle, and no one would find fault with her anymore. However, she no longer trusted Mr. Zhou, and found two sweet-tongued sycophants to teach her. With the flattery of these two people, Next, she felt a little elated, feeling that these government affairs were not so difficult to understand.

Just when she thought everything was on track, some words and deeds about the mother and son of the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor began to circulate among the people.

Especially when it was rumored that the Empress Dowager withheld money from flood relief funds in the south of the Yangtze River to build a garden for herself to enjoy, public resentment boiled over and they called for the Empress Dowager to return power.

Opposition came one after another.

When Qi Meizhi heard these objections, he was so angry that smoke was rising from his head, and he couldn't help but yelled, "A bunch of untouchables!"

"Mother, these untouchables need to be shown some color, otherwise they will think that the royal family is easy to bully."

One of the sycophants who had gained her favor recently smiled and made suggestions.

The other one quickly echoed.

The two looked at each other, both trying to use this opportunity to coax Qi Meizhi into giving them promotions and delegating power.

Qi Meizhi bit her back teeth and said coldly, "That's it."

Under her edict, the court began to ban speech, and people were not allowed to discuss the government affairs, especially students, and they were no longer allowed to write articles criticizing current affairs.

After some perverse actions, Qi Meizhi immediately aroused public anger. (End of chapter)
