Chapter 140: The Humiliated Woman Beheaded and Abandoned in the City (23)

Although Emperor Yuhe had nothing to refute, he was still unable to make up his mind whether to appoint the leader of Yuanjun Mansion as the governor of Lingnan Road, because in his opinion, this matter was a bit like buying and selling official positions.

These are things that only happen at the end of a dynasty.

He didn't want to be criticized by future generations.

So in the end he went to consult his biological mother, the Queen Mother, and wanted to hear his mother's advice.

Needless to say, the Queen Mother immediately agreed that it was fine, and she slammed the door, drove everyone away, and roared in dissatisfaction:

"Why are you hesitating about this?"

"If there are enough people willing to directly spend money to buy the position of Jiedushi, I would dare to sell it to ten or a hundred people. Why hesitate? Have you really been fooled by those old guys in the Ministry of Rites?"

"What's the current situation in the court? Don't you have a clear idea of it? Buying and selling official positions and titles is not a good thing to say. Buying and selling official positions and titles can only be done when the court still has a certain prestige. You think there is no such thing as buying and selling official positions and titles in the court now? Why is that?
Is it because the imperial court has prestige? Do you have integrity?

Bullshit, it’s because the imperial court has no prestige, no one buys it.”

"If you buy an official position from the imperial court, but the local governor doesn't recognize it, it's just a piece of waste paper.

If you really want to buy it, you might as well buy it from the Jiedushi."

The Queen Mother obviously did not secretly excavate the tomb of the previous emperor or use the burial objects to exchange for silver to train new troops. After all, if she had done so, her son would not still be a puppet emperor after nearly ten years.

She has no real power.

And such ignorance of the situation in Lingnan.

And these 800,000 taels of silver are the only hope she has seen in the past ten years, and the only hope for her to make one more desperate struggle and train some new soldiers.

Her son was still hesitant.

It's normal to feel a little depressed.

After venting her anger, seeing that Emperor Yuhe was still bewildered, Queen Mother Wang felt even worse:
"Ah! Why did I give birth to such a fool like you!"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you too much. Anyway, you just need to know that this is a good thing, a very good thing. And there's no need to hide anything. Just openly let the whole world know that the Yuan Junfu in Lingnan overthrew the former governor.

He successfully took control of Lingnan and spent 800,000 taels.

He was recognized by the imperial court and became the new Jiedushi.

"Mother..."

Emperor Yuhe still found it difficult to accept. This was too damaging to the reputation of the imperial court. After the local rebels succeeded in their rebellion, they gained the recognition of the imperial court by spending some money. In any case, Emperor Yuhe was very sad to get over it.

"Whose temperament do you follow?

You are nothing like me, nor like your father. Your father at least knew how to be shameless. You only want face and nothing else, right?

How can a puppet emperor have any face?"

"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you? I've told you all sorts of ways to make money, but you refuse to accept this, that, or anything else. Now that I've offered you the money that's right here, you refuse to accept it. What do you want?"

"What can you do without money?"

Speaking of this, Queen Mother Wang was really depressed. If she didn't want her son to hate her in the future and she only had this one son, and if she didn't want to make her son hate her in the future and she only had this one son, and if she didn't want to make her son hate her in the future and she only had this one son, and if she didn't want to make her own son ... she didn't want to make her own son and she

This child doesn't look like her at all.

He doesn't look like his biological father at all.

At this point, it’s no use just saving face!

"Just do as I say. You should at least let me give it a try. If it doesn't work, I won't care about it anymore. Okay? If you give up without even trying, I really won't be willing to do that.

What I am thinking now is, first, to use the 800,000 taels of silver to train new soldiers, and second, to announce the relevant news to the world, so that those subordinates who are dissatisfied with the local governor, or other local forces, will see this example and fight among themselves and fight against the local governor.

Regardless of who wins or loses, local forces can be weakened.

If there is a force that can overthrow the local military governor and is willing to send some more silver to seek the court's approval, that would be even better and a pleasant surprise. Do you understand?

This is the best strategy to weaken the enemy and strengthen ourselves.

Without the Yuanjun Mansion, I wouldn't be able to come up with such a good idea. Or even if I did, it wouldn't work without someone to cooperate. Yuanjun Mansion, what a strange name..."

After revealing all her thoughts truthfully, Queen Mother Wang suddenly read Yuan Junfu again.

And I became a little curious about this force.

"Mother, no, you can't do that. If you do that, the whole place will be in chaos. How much more suffering will the people in the world suffer, and how many more people will die?

As the ruler of a country, I am unable to protect the people.

I feel guilty about not letting them live a good life.

How can you still add fuel to the fire like this! "

Emperor Yuhe, who was not very willing to do this matter in the first place, became even more reluctant after hearing what his mother said.

He immediately refused to do so in a hasty tone.

After being interrupted by him, Queen Mother Wang stopped worrying about the problem of Yuanjun Mansion and started arguing with Emperor Yuhe again. One of them felt that her son was too disobedient and unpromising, while the other felt that her mother was too controlling and did not care about the dignity of the royal family at all.

As for the result, of course the Queen Mother won.

After all, the Queen Mother not only has the support of her father in the court, but also has the power of filial piety to try to suppress it.

What can a puppet emperor do?
But this matter was obviously not so easy to pass through the court, especially when the Queen Mother wanted to pocket all the 800,000 taels of silver.

For an emperor and empress dowager who have little real power, there will not be too many secrets in the palace. No one may know what the emperor and empress dowager say in private, but when the eunuchs reported it, it went through so many people, so the relevant news spread quickly.

After that, the disputes began.

To be more precise, it is a war for money.

The focus of everyone's attention was not on whether this matter was legal or reasonable, but on whether the 800,000 taels of silver should go into the national treasury or the emperor's private treasury. The dispute between them was fierce.

The ministers naturally thought that this money should be deposited into the national treasury. After all, it was an appointment as a military governor, not an appointment as a noble title. The money from selling official positions must be deposited into the national treasury.

And they haven't received their salaries for a long time.

Only two or three months' salary is paid a year.

Only when the money goes into the national treasury can they pay their salaries and divide it up!

The Queen Mother was naturally unwilling to do so. After all, she still wanted to use the money to train new soldiers. What good would she do if it went into the national treasury? The Right Prime Minister was in a dilemma. If he helped his daughter, the officials would target him.

Helping the officials would seem like betraying his daughter and grandson.

This was just the beginning of the dispute. When the two disciples sent by Ding Shui brought 800,000 taels of silver to the court, all the officials, including Emperor Yuhe and Queen Mother Wang, were shocked to find that the envoy was actually a woman.

Upon further questioning, it turned out that the leader of Yuanjun Mansion was also a woman.

Then the quarrel got even louder.

"No, Your Majesty, Queen Mother, how can you appoint a woman as a military governor? This is against etiquette and law. These envoys should be executed immediately, and a decree should be sent to the military governors of Lingnan Road to send troops to eliminate the rebellion!"

That's right, when they found out that the new owner of Lingnan Road was a woman and the envoy was also a woman, they immediately turned hostile. Of course, they still wanted the silver.

I just plan to acknowledge this from the original cashier.

He even refused to acknowledge me when he became the cashier.

With this first person standing up to oppose, the rest of the civil and military officials naturally stood up one after another. Their general meaning was similar, that is, the silver was seized and they would never recognize the other party as the new governor. This was the bottom line that could not be moved.

But what they didn't see was that the Queen Mother, who was behind the curtain today, had an expression of surprise instead of anger on her face. At the same time, she finally understood why she felt that Yuanjun Mansion was strange. Although Yuanjun used to refer to a wise monarch, it is now generally a respectful title for a female fairy.

So the other party's background was very clear, but they didn't think about it that way, and the eunuchs didn't say anything.

If women could raise an army and become military governors.

Is she too timid...

However, the Queen Mother quickly suppressed all the fantasies in her heart, because she knew that the more she thought about it without strength, the faster she would die. So she just coughed and said:

"That's enough, everyone, please leave me alone.

As far as I know, many tribes in Lingnan still practice the system of visiting marriage. Children only know their mother but not their father, and female leaders in the tribe are not uncommon.

This is probably what Yuanjun Mansion is like.

Since it's a local characteristic, it's okay to make exceptions occasionally. Besides, isn't most of Lingnan Road governed by local tribes? Now that a local tribal leader is helping the court suppress the rebellion, how can we be unclear about rewards and punishments? Executing the envoy is even more deliberate provocation."

"I don't know what An is thinking."

Obviously, Queen Mother Wang wanted to protect and was ready to insist that Yuan Junfu was suppressing the rebellion, not rebelling. This was very important. If the merit of suppressing the rebellion was not rewarded, it would be the court's fault. The difference between the two was undoubtedly huge.

But it is obviously impossible for the officials to give in just like that.

Since no one has military power, just quarrel.

At this moment, an accident happened. Several civil servants actually stepped forward and attacked the only two female envoys. They probably thought that if they killed the two female envoys on the spot, it would be useless for the empress dowager to have any ideas. After all, the envoys had been killed. What else could she do except to turn against them completely?
Then we can only do what they say.

"Bold, stop it!"

The Queen Mother, sitting behind the curtain, had clearly noticed this and immediately stood up and roared angrily. It wasn't that she had any sympathy for the lives of the two female messengers below. The key point was that if they succeeded in killing the two female messengers, the officials would undoubtedly have the upper hand, and the 800,000 taels of silver would most likely go into the national treasury.

How could the Queen Mother not be anxious and angry?
The rest of the officials were all excited, while some looked annoyed, probably wondering why they hadn't thought of such a good idea. As for the failure, they hadn't considered how two weak women could be a match for the men.

That is, you are not allowed to bring a knife when attending court.

Otherwise, just chop off your head with one blow.

At this moment, Zhu Yu and Su Mei were undoubtedly confused. Firstly, they really didn't expect that someone would dare to kill people in the court. Secondly, they didn't expect that an ordinary person would dare to attack them.

It's like an old man eating arsenic. He's had enough of life.

However, they did not rush to fight back, but waited until the officials who attacked them put their hands on their necks, showing an obvious intention to kill them.

They then officially started to fight back.

In fact, it didn't take much strength. With a wave of her hand, the two officials who were strangling their necks were knocked away. The real situation may be different from that in movies and TV dramas. If it were a movie or TV drama, the two officials would have been slammed into the wall with great force and would not be able to get out even if they tried to dig themselves out.

The reality is that the palace buildings are quite solid.

After they were slammed against the wall, they immediately turned into two pools of meat, with blood and internal organs splattered everywhere.

While everyone was stunned and vomiting, Zhu Yu and Su Mei didn't stop immediately. Instead, they continued to slap the officials who had just proposed killing them. As a result, more than twenty unidentified objects appeared on the walls of the imperial hall. Some people fainted, some collapsed to the ground, urinated, and many more vomited profusely.

After all, few people can accept that an acquaintance is alive and kicking one second and turns into a pool of meat paste the next.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother! I think you can see clearly that they attacked us first, and we were forced to fight back to protect ourselves."

"Besides, before we came here, our master once said that we can decide for ourselves who to give the 800,000 taels of silver to. Just now, only the Queen Mother was friendly to us, so the 800,000 taels of silver are all given to you.

You remembered to give us the will of canonization.

We will stay here for a few days. If anyone wants to steal your money, please tell us and we will help you deal with it."

Although the Queen Mother was also very scared at this time, she was slightly better than the others. This was mainly because she was blocked by a curtain, and the view outside looked like a mosaic. So she quickly calmed down and said quickly: "It's right, it's right. It's indeed their fault. I'm sorry to scare you all.

The decree will be delivered to your residence shortly.

There are also generous rewards!"

"That's good! I'm truly sorry for soiling the hall this time. We'll take our leave now. Please forgive us!"

At this time, in addition to the smell of blood, there were also various smells of feces and urine in the hall, which was really unpleasant. Zhu Yu and Su Mei were in no mood to stay here any longer, so they said goodbye and left decisively.

The Queen Mother also quickly expressed her agreement.

By the time Zhu Yu and Su Mei left, the imperial palace was in utter chaos. No one had ever witnessed such a brutal scene. Not to mention those who had died, few of the living were in any condition. Those who fainted were considered lucky, and those who became incontinent weren't laughed at. Even worse were those who went insane.

There are even more people who vomited.

Almost everyone who was alive and awake vomited.

The Queen Mother vomited on the spot after she pulled aside the curtain and took a look outside. She then quickly withdrew, not daring to stay in the imperial hall any longer. After leaving, she found that her son was still inside the hall and had not come out. She quickly sent people in to look for Emperor Yuhe and bring him out.

In the end, the person was brought out.

But it obviously doesn't look normal.

It was as if he was frightened, or his brain was greatly stimulated and temporarily short-circuited, and he needed to relax.

In this regard, Queen Mother Wang dared not fall down. She could only stay awake and drink bowl after bowl of refreshing medicine. She called the imperial physician over and quickly treated Emperor Yuhe.

It also needs to be dealt with in the court.

The most important thing is to quickly draft an edict to appease those two terrifying female messengers and not let them get angry anymore.
