Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 270 Game!

"Your Majesty wants to eradicate the humble minister?"

Pei Xiu sneered, "What if His Majesty wiped out the humble officials? Can His Majesty get the Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Officials? Your Majesty only has one household department in his hand, what can he do?"

"Those who are disobedient will be killed!"

Feng Jin's tone was indifferent, as if he was not talking about killing people, but trampling an ant to death.

Pei Xiu's long eyebrows were tightened, "Your Majesty wants to be a tyrant? Isn't Your Majesty afraid of leaving a bad reputation forever?"

"By that time, I would have died long ago, and my bones would have already stink too badly. It doesn't matter if it stinks a little bit."

Seeing Feng Jin's calm and indifferent appearance, not like threatening him, countless thoughts flashed through Pei Xiu's mind. He stared straight at Feng Jin, but felt that he couldn't see through today's empress.

The queen seems to have lost her patience, no, more than that, she seems to have become tired, tired of those intrigues, she wants to cut through the mess quickly and make a decisive decision.

"I might as well tell you that Wu Qingshan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the one I helped up."

Pei Xiu's face changed drastically, "How, how is this possible?"

"I have placed this chess piece long ago. After I have placed this chess piece, I have dealt with the Tang family. Even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials behind him is just a cover-up, just to attract your attention."

Speaking of this, she took a deep look at Pei Xiu, "Even if he has a bad habit of gambling, I deliberately let him get into it, just to make Pei Qing think that he has a handle on him so that he can manipulate him."

Pei Xiu's complexion changed again and again, "You have planned a long time ago? You even planned to take the positions of the two ministers later?"

"Yes! So, a long time ago, the Ministry of Officials belonged to me, but Pei Qing still thought that the Ministry of Officials was firmly in her hands."

Pei Xiu's face sank, he gritted his teeth and said, "So what? At least the promotion of officials above the sixth rank has been approved by the minister..."

He suddenly thought of something, his voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at Feng Jin in disbelief, "You asked Wu Qingshan to show me that list on purpose! You deliberately asked Wu Qingshan to show me that list when I was exhausted. Bother me with such a long list?"

The corners of Feng Jin's lips rose slowly, revealing a slight smile, and said calmly, "Yes!"

"So, officials below the sixth rank are all His Majesty's people?"

"Where are there so many people, Your Majesty?"

"Those people don't need to be replaced. Those who are useful will be retained and praised. Those who are incompetent but able to fulfill their duties will be retained and encouraged. Those who are talented but slightly corrupt and dereliction of duty will be kept for observation and will be rewarded. To warn and warn, only those who are incompetent and corrupt and dereliction of duty, I will withdraw and replace them."

Thinking of some people, Pei Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Jiangnan gentry!"

"Pei Qing is smart!"

"So, Your Majesty asked people from the Jiangnan gentry to climb up on purpose, just to attract the attention of my ministers, and prevent them from discovering that the Great Zhou has been filled with His Majesty's chess pieces?"

"Correct!"

Pei Xiu only felt sweating all over his body. He didn't expect that this game of chess had been played for so long without him knowing.

Pei Xiu deserves to be a person who has experienced all kinds of troubles in court, so he quickly calmed down and said with a sneer, "Even if His Majesty has the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households in his hands, so what? I have the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War in my hand, and..."

Pei Xiu suddenly thought of something and immediately closed his mouth.

"There's Yushitai, right?"

Pei Xiu's pupils shrank, and Feng Jin curled the corners of her lips, with a smile that was not a smile, "Liu Zhao, the first-rank censor at Yushitai, is indeed loyal to Pei Qing, but so what, the literati rebelled, and they didn't stay for ten years. It's just a censor who knows how to write, and I don't pay attention to it."

Speaking of this, Feng Jin took a deep look at Pei Xiu, "Let me and Pei Qing count the chips, Pei Qing has the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Yushitai in his hands, and I have the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials and……"

Feng Jin paused on purpose, looked at Pei Xiu's frown with a half-smile, and then said softly, "Here with the Ministry of Punishment."

"Department of punishment?"

Pei Xiu's face changed greatly, "Song Ming is your man?"

"He has always been my man! The so-called unyielding, unyielding, and impartiality are just appearances that confuse Pei Qing."

Pei Xiu's legs softened, and his knees almost bent down. He still refused to give in, and stood up with difficulty, straightening his back, "I have a military department with 18 troops! Your Majesty is unarmed..."

"I don't need those, all I need is a great general!"

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Pei Qing, the two sides have opened up and talked. I have exposed the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment, and I am not afraid of exposing a little more. The general and the king of Zhongshan have already formed an alliance with me."

Pei Xiu's face changed, and then he sneered, "It's impossible! Your Majesty doesn't need to lie to me! Just because His Majesty detains King Zhongshan's grandson Feng Yan in the imperial capital is not enough to make King Zhongshan and Zhong Mo bow their heads. Your Majesty doesn't know, does it?" ? Your Majesty's move will only anger King Zhongshan and make Zhong Mo feel hatred!"

Feng Jin smiled slightly, "Who told you that Feng Yan was held as a hostage in the imperial capital?"

Pei Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not! He was raised in the imperial capital as the prince of the Eastern Palace!"

"Prince Donggong!"

Pei Xiu's face changed drastically, and he swayed, "How is it possible? How could His Majesty appoint the crown prince so early?"

"Nothing is impossible! I don't want to have a child. Even if I do, I don't want my child to be ups and downs in the struggle for imperial power. I can't break free from the intrigue all my life. I just want him to spend his life in peace and stability, without any worries. "

Pei Xiu was shocked, and couldn't believe it at all, "This is impossible, how is this possible, how can someone not want their son to inherit the great treasure..."

Feng Jin smiled slightly, with a calm expression, "Maybe it's because I'm a woman? I don't think there's anything good about this dragon chair, and I don't think it's fun to face you courtiers every day and deal with those annoying memorials. It can be said."

"I don't believe it!"

"Believe it or not, in short, I have released the chips. This is the last chance I give you. If Pei Qing refuses to cherish it, don't blame me."

Pei Xiu's legs went limp, and he sat down in the chair slumped.

The Queen has the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the Zhong Family Army. It can be said that there are people, money, and soldiers and generals.

More importantly, the queen's surname is Feng, she has royal blood, and she is a legitimate emperor.

He is a courtier, and he deserved to die for Great Zhou. People will remember his contributions, but if he dares to rebel and usurp the throne, and become emperor himself, the people will erase all his achievements.

Without the support of the people, there must be an overwhelming force to suppress the queen, otherwise what power would he use to overwhelm the world?
"Pei Qing, I said before that you can't be the emperor. When I was raised in the harem by you, ignorant of worldly affairs, carefree, and obedient to your words, you dare not ask me for a piece of Zen. An imperial edict, from then on, you are doomed to be like this for the rest of your life."

"A courtier, a courtier with a different surname, wants to drive down the empress. What he does is treasonous things, but he still wants the support of the people. It's ridiculous!"

Pei Xiu smiled coldly, "Your Majesty told the minister everything tonight, do you feel that the winning ticket is in your hands?"

"Yes!"

The sneer on Pei Xiu's lips widened, "Your Majesty is too confident!"

Feng Jin looked at him with calm and firm eyes, "I just happen to be a little more confident than Pei Qing, and also a little bit more decisive than Pei Qing."

"Until the last moment, it's not certain who wins and who loses!"

Pei Xiu stood up slowly, staring at Feng Jin intently.

"Since Pei Qing doesn't believe it, let's wait and see."

Feng Jin's expression was as calm as before, and he let him stare, Pei Xiu suddenly felt like his fist was hitting the cotton.

The former empress was cold, sharp and deep, he confronted her tit for tat, and neither one backed down.

But now, the empress is like a deep and vast sea, and he rushes towards the sea like a big river, carrying a mighty momentum, but when he enters the sea, all the momentum is completely vented.

Only with absolute confidence and bargaining chips will he ignore his moves.

Pei Xiu had a feeling that in the eyes of the queen, she was like a jumping grasshopper at this time. She didn't care what cruel words he said or what cruel moves he made. She just had to wait and watch coldly. , When he attacked, he waved his hand casually, as if he could be swept away to a place hundreds of thousands of miles away.

However, Pei Xiu still didn't want to admit defeat, he wanted to give it a go, he planned for so long, and he didn't want to fall short.

Feng Jin took his unwilling look into his eyes, "I give Pei Qing three days, and Pei Qing knows what to do after three days."

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, and her white hand fell lightly on Pei Xiu's shoulder, causing Pei Xiu to feel a strange feeling in his heart.
