Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 140 Da Zhou Only Needs One Emperor

Just when Wu Qingshan was almost unable to hold on, Pei Xiu finally looked away, smiled slightly, and said kindly, "Now you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a first-rank official residence, and your salary has increased several times. If you want to go to a place like Tianxianglou Go, don’t worry about money, if you don’t have money, here is the truth.”

Wu Qingshan turned pale with shock, and repeatedly declined, but Pei Xiu called Pei Zhong in, and directly gave Wu Qingshan 5000 taels of silver.

Wu Qingshan didn't dare to accept it, and kept saying, "Master Xiang just helped my subordinates pay off their gambling debts, Mr. Xiang's great kindness is unforgettable to me, so I absolutely dare not accept this banknote. "

"Accept it! In officialdom, people depend on their clothes and horses on their saddles. Most of them are snobbish. If you are a first-class minister, if you don't have money, you will be ashamed."

Wu Qingshan's face was blushing when he was told, and he accepted it gratefully.

"Okay, don't talk about those lies, as long as you are loyal to the truth, the money and the future will be given to you by the truth."

Wu Qingshan knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted his allegiance.

"Go back."

Wu Qingshan got up from the ground, and retreated respectfully.

As soon as he left, Pei Zhong felt sorry for the 5000 taels just given, "Master, Mr. Wu has not done anything about his personnel affairs yet, so he spent almost 1 taels."

"It's only 1 taels, as long as he is loyal and obedient, 10 taels, a million taels, the truth can be given to him! Besides, are you still worried that a minister of the Ministry of officials won't be able to get back 1 taels for the truth?"

Pei Xiu picked up the teacup, picked up the tea cover with two slender, white fingers with well-defined knuckles, and slid it lightly, "Haven't you heard of it? Three years of clearing the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver."

Pei Zhong was silent, "Master Wu's voice of loyalty is quite loud, Master Xiang really believes in his loyalty?"

"loyalty?"

Pei Xiu laughed mockingly, "There's no such thing as loyalty. It's just that if you have milk, you are a mother. Follow the truth, have a future, and have money, and of course you will be loyal. If the truth is broken one day, I'm afraid he will run away." faster than anyone else."

Pei Xiu paused, his deep and cold eyes glanced at Pei Zhong's face, and said coolly, "I'm afraid you can't run slower than him!"

Pei Zhong's heart shivered, and a smile forced a smile on his old face, "Mr. Xiang was joking."

"Joke?"

Pei Xiu looked at Pei Zhong with a smile that was not a smile, and his voice was so cold that it made one's scalp tingle, "The truth is never a joke."

Pei Zhong didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of making too many mistakes.

Fortunately, Pei Xiu didn't get entangled in this kind of question, and asked about other things, "Has he still gambled recently?"

Pei Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and cautiously replied, "I'm gambling, but I'm afraid that Xiangye will be angry, so I go less often, but I don't think I can get rid of the gambling addiction for a while."

Pei Xiu smiled coldly, "It would be strange if he could quit."

After a short pause, he asked casually, "Is there any news from the palace?"

Pei Zhong shook his head, "After the queen returns to the palace, everything will be as usual.

For Pei Xiu, everything in the palace was normal at this time, but for Feng Jin, she was sad and worried.

Looking at Fu Yu who kept her head drooping and didn't say a word, Feng Jin's mood has not been better since returning to the palace yesterday.

"Physician Zhang, if you can't think of a solution, you, the head of the imperial hospital, will do it."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

"What crime please? Hurry up and think of a way."

Physician Zhang got up tremblingly, "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is unwilling to think of a way, but that he can't think of a way. Miss Fu Yu is obviously poisoned, or a poison in the Jianghu. This poison, the veteran really can't get rid of it."

Feng Jin sighed heavily, raised her hand slightly, and told Imperial Physician Zhang to step back.

There was no sound in the room, Lvyi and other court ladies held their breath and dared not breathe out, for fear of making the empress even more worried.

"Why don't I go to the gate of death again?"

Feng Jin tentatively asked Wuming, but Wuming flatly refused, "No! If you want to go, I will go! You are not allowed to go!"

Feng Jin really didn't expect that the door of death would open her up.

According to Shen Wenqing, when Fu Yu was brought out, she already looked like this, with dull eyes and a dazed expression, no matter how he spoke to her, she did not respond.

Shimen's argument is that they came late, and that as a medicine man, Fu Yu has already tested new medicines, which is a legacy of new medicines.

Feng Jin wasn't there, Shen Wenqing only had some hidden guards around her, and she couldn't fight the dead door, so she had to bring Fu Yu back first.

Just as Feng Jin and Wuming were arguing whether to go to the Gate of Death again, Shen Wenqing came.

"His Majesty--"

Shen Wenqing winked at Feng Jin, Feng Jin glanced at Lu Yi, who took the little maids down, and also took Fu Yu down.

When Fu Yu left, she still had that dazed look, she would do whatever Lv Yi asked her to do.

"Your Majesty, Wu Qingshan has news."

Shen Wenqing said, took out a sachet, Wuming took it, took it out, found only some broken silver, Wuming touched the sachet, pondered for a while, tore up the sachet, found in the interlayer A note was handed to Feng Jin.

When I opened it, there was a line written on it: Everything is as His Majesty expected, Prime Minister Pei really doesn't care about the promotion of officials below the sixth rank.

The corners of Feng Jin's lips raised slightly, and he threw the note into the charcoal basin, and it disappeared in an instant.

Shen Wenqing looked at the calm smile on Feng Jin's lips, and asked inexplicably, "How did Your Majesty know that Pei Xiang didn't care about officials below the sixth rank?"

"It's not that he doesn't care, it's that he can't care. Otherwise, why do you think I put heavy state affairs on him, why did Qi Qing's family make trouble for him frequently, and Wu Qingshan went to him for everything big and small? , grinding his energy, distracting his mind, why do I fight him again and again? If he used to be, he would naturally care about it, but now, his energy has been dragged down, and he really can't be distracted. "

Feng Jin pursed her lips into a smile, her meaningful eyes gliding across Shen Wenqing's handsome face, "Wen Qing, it's time for you Jiangnan nobles to make an appearance, don't disappoint my expectations."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to my expectations."

Shen Wenqing bowed and stepped back.

Looking at the empty palace, Feng Jin felt a sense of pride and ambition in her heart. A Wu Qingshan had spent several months with her and Wuming. From the moment she was sure that Wuming would be loyal to her, she let Wuming contact Wu Qingshan. At that time, it was even earlier than deliberately drawing a portrait of Tang Qinghe for Pei Xiu.

To overthrow Tang Zhongde, use the Tang family to lure Pei Xiu into a trap, and then use the death of Tang Zhongde's father and son to negotiate with Pei Xiu, and deliberately help a Huang Shilang as the official secretary to attract Pei Xiu's attention, and wait for both sides to suffer. It is time for the most deeply placed pieces to come out.

Tang Zhongde and Huang Shilang are just smoke bombs, and Wu Qingshan is her real dark chess piece.

She deliberately resisted Pei Xiu, deliberately refused to agree to Wu Qingshan's promotion to the first-rank official department secretary, and won two second-rank official ministers for herself. Pei Xiu never imagined that the official department was complete. It's hers!

The so-called Wu Qingshan likes to gamble, but it's just a trick.

From Wuming's first contact with Wu Qingshan, he designed a trick for him to gamble, which is innocuous and can destroy one's future. After experiencing Chen Shilang's deadly trick, it must be what Pei Xiu wants the most. of.

Even if he didn't want to choose Wu Qingshan at first, it doesn't matter, she will tighten the net and let him choose.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Households are all hers, and with the military support of the General's Mansion, she will be in charge of the government, just around the corner.

It's just that what she wants most now is not to be in charge, but to squeeze Pei Xiu's power a little bit. She wants to let those vacillating courtiers see that Pei Xiu can't even keep his own people, let alone others?
What she wants is not just to be in charge of the government, what she wants is to have all the military and political power in her hands, and the Liubu and Yushitai to return to her hands. , only need a real emperor, not a substitute emperor.

As for Pei Xiu, it's good to be a prime minister with peace of mind. The Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War, and Yushitai are not what he should take.

A prime minister should do his duties well.

This beautiful river and mountain, the heart of all people, is hers!What Pei Xiu took from her before and coaxed away must be returned!

Pei Xiu has the ability to govern the country. He alone supported the country of the Great Zhou, resisted the eyes of King Jiangdong, and formed a balance with the General's Mansion. With such an ability, he was the only one in the entire Great Zhou.

In terms of the ability to govern the country, Shen Wenqing is still far behind. Shen Wenqing has a soft personality. He is a typical literati character, unlike Pei Xiu, who combines hardness and softness, and is quite decisive. Shen Wenqing is actually not very suitable to replace Pei Xiu. She It's not that Pei Xiu must die, if he can be a prime minister at ease, she will let him do it.

But if he wants too much, then no wonder she is ruthless.
