The queen is alluring

Chapter 352

After all, without waiting for Yun Qing to answer, she raised her head and poured down the dove wine, the golden bottle fell down, and made a loud sound, then the Queen Mother shook slightly twice, then fell to the ground, her eyes widened , blood overflowed from the mouth, and in the last convulsion of struggle, slowly closed his eyes, froze.

"Empress Empress, the Empress Dowager is dying!" Eunuch Zhao checked the Empress Dowager's pulse, and then said in a weeping voice. Afterwards, the maids in the hall and the accompanying eunuchs kowtowed to the ground.

Yun Qing closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Get the coffin ready, send the Queen Mother to the ice cellar of the Imperial Mausoleum in Houshan, and wait until the rebellion of the princes is over before the big burial."

"Yes" Eunuch Zhao kowtowed deeply...

In the dead of night, the wind is still, and there are gusts of wind, which is chilly to the bones.The heavy snow that had been flying all night finally stopped at the end of the fourth watch, and the rest of the entire palace was white and pure, which also covered the blood stains outside Lingxiao Hall, covered in white, with steep cold branches.

When returning to Lingxiao Palace, the sky was already bright, Yun Qing changed into court clothes, sat on the phoenix chariot again, and then slowly headed to the Golden Luan Palace for the morning court.

In the slightly towering Golden Luan Hall, resplendent and magnificent, the solemn palace, Yun Qing slowly stepped up to the position behind the curtain, and sat dignifiedly.Under the stone steps, the courtiers on both sides kowtowed and saluted one after another. After the salute was over, the Prime Minister played the papers. He still followed the rules and reported the affairs of the court and the memorials he had received one by one, and then asked Yun Qing for instructions.

Wang Yanping is far-sighted, and he can be regarded as a conscientious prime minister, but he also occasionally has doubts in his heart, that is, he does not understand why Yun Qing delineates him as a prime minister, but in his heart, he has long believed that the woman behind the curtain has peerless intelligence and wisdom. Because of her invincible strategy, even if she is called a monster by the world, it doesn't feel too much, after all, she is still young.

The Empress Dowager's funeral didn't alarm too many people, except for a few old people in Jianzhang Palace and Lingxiao Palace who knew about it, other news had been blocked, and Yun Qing even ordered that the funeral be kept secret, just to wait for the princes Come to the door, and then catch the turtle in the urn.

However, the news that the Empress Dowager was invited back to Jianzhang Palace was widely circulated. Most of the courtiers knew that the Empress Dowager must have confessed something, so they were panicked and terrified. Some officials even seemed depressed when they came to court today. The black and blue in front of them are particularly obvious, and the other people also showed fear, lowered their heads tremblingly, and dared not speak.

Yun Qing glanced coldly at the court, and a cold smile gathered on her lips. In fact, she didn't spend much effort on the empress dowager's matter this time. Just inviting the empress dowager back to Jianzhang Palace has already made these people so terrified , it can be seen that the people involved in the Queen Mother's affairs are far more than those two secret letters.

"Empress, the old minister is old, but he really can't hold an official position anymore. The cold face has already passed away, and the old minister's age is still above the cold face, so I dare to ask the empress to show mercy. Forgive the old minister for not being loyal to the country any more, and withdraw The position of the old minister, let the old minister return to his hometown." After Wang Xiang reported the memorial, he retreated to the side, and then an elderly veteran of the three dynasties slowly came out, bowing to the ground with a slightly hunched body.

"Lord Li is a loyal person of the three dynasties. Although he is old, he is still young and strong. Why is he suddenly going to retire today?" Yun Qing asked pretending to be puzzled, but her eyes were already slightly narrowed, because she had already The handwriting of those two secret letters was identified by several great scholars in the court, but the final result was the only two veterans of the three dynasties in the court.

She has served three generations of emperors, but she can't keep them at the end of the day. Yun Qing doesn't know why they are like this, or maybe they just want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of her, a harem woman who shouldn't have appeared in the court in the first place. The rules made it impossible for them to change their pedantic thinking, so they had nowhere to vent, and under the guidance of Qi Rongdi, they just found a breakthrough, and developed into the irreversible situation today.

Master Li saw that Yun Qing didn't seem to want to let him go, so he knelt down on the ground trembling with fright, his heavy court clothes fell to the ground rustlingly, his pale beard trembled on his lips, looking weak and pitiful.At this moment, Mr. Li is just an old man who can't do what he wants. He said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to the empress, the old minister really has more than enough energy, and he is afraid of dragging down the court, so..."

"Let's discuss this matter after the Queen Mother's affairs are over. If Mr. Li really feels that he lacks energy, he can rest at home instead of going to court early." Yun Qing said coldly, not giving the old man any room to maneuver .

Master Li trembled when he heard this, but when he was still going to persist, he was knocked off the cliff by Yun Qing's next sentence.

"I remember that the emperor said that Mr. Li was the elder of the three dynasties, the counselor of the late emperor, and the pillar of the Xuanye Kingdom. Therefore, the late emperor once rewarded him with grace and let his official title be hereditary. If Mr. Li has decided to retire now, Let the eldest son inherit his grace, enter the court as an official, and continue to serve the court." Yun Qing said lightly, but a sentence that should have been a gift from heaven almost made Mr. Li faint.

"Chen...Chen...Chen's dog is incompetent, I'm afraid that painting a tiger will not be a kind of dog, and it will become a joke." Master Li hesitated, but a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Master Li is really sick, Eunuch Zhao, first send someone to take him back to the mansion to rest, and then send Imperial Physician Li to make a diagnosis and treatment in person. Sir Li is the pillar of the country, and even the late emperor praised him full of praise. If your body is so good Or in case, this palace will definitely punish you severely." Yun Qing stared at Master Li's crumbling body, and spoke coldly.

"Yes" Eunuch Zhao responded, and then clapped his hands for the guards outside the hall to come in and help Master Li out of the hall.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and those guilty courtiers naturally understood what Yun Qing meant, and they all began to tremble in fright.There are also officials among them who originally planned to resign like Master Li, but seeing that Master Li's resignation failed and would cause disaster to his descendants, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again.

"My lords, do you have anything else to report?" Yun Qing said lightly.

His Majesty, everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak out, Yun Qing sneered, got up and said: "Since there is nothing wrong, let's go." After finishing speaking, he turned and stepped out of the Golden Palace.

Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin.Even if I don't go, Zining doesn't listen?Qingqing Zipei, leisurely I think.Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?Xi Xi pick up in the city of Xi Que.Not seeing each other for a day is like March!

Feng Luan got up to drive, and swayed slowly on the four walls of the palace, but inadvertently heard a quiet singing from outside, soft and mellow.Not seeing each other for a day, like March, Yun Qing felt a touch of emotion between his tired brows and eyes, and suddenly remembered that because he was busy with the Queen Mother's affairs, it seemed that he hadn't seen Ling Yexuan for a day or two. , time always passed by inadvertently and when she was busy, but when she came back to her senses, she had already gone a long way, so she said with a bit of tiredness: "I'm tired, so I won't go to the study." Alright, let's go back to Lingxiao Palace."
