The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 303 Change of courtiers
Shen Bilan was left speechless by what Ye Anran said, and then Nishinomiya accompanied Ye Anran into the forest to pick. In order to protect her safety, Nishinomiya Jin stayed with Shen Bilan as a guard, and Shen Bilan was so angry that he sat in the carriage all the time. Sulking inside.

When returning to the palace to gather, the queen mother praised Chen Shuyuan a lot, because she had picked the rarest medicinal material, blood ganoderma, which made everyone look at the new Chen Shuyuan here with admiration.

Born in a famous family, well-educated, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu, she looks stunning, although she can't compare with the Ye family sisters, she is still a great beauty, and today it opened everyone's eyes. Knowing that such a perfect woman makes Ye Anran feel ashamed.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager rewarded Chen Shuyuan with some pearl jewelry and announced that she would drive back to the palace.

Concubine Ning's body was also transported out of Mengshan's ice room and sent back to Bianjing Imperial Mausoleum for burial.

After returning to the palace, the first thing the emperor did was to announce to the world that Concubine Ning died of illness, and the people mourned for three days. Concubine Ning was posthumously named Emperor Chunyi, and the dead little prince was posthumously named Prince Yi.

next morning morning
The emperor looked around and found that Prime Minister Ning was not there. He was a little puzzled: "Why isn't Prime Minister Ning here?"

"Back to the emperor, Prime Minister Ning is unwell. This is a memorial from Tuo Weichen to the emperor." After finishing speaking, an official with a good relationship with the prime minister stepped forward and carefully delivered the memorial.

The emperor opened it and glanced at it. It was full of scenes. He knew that because of Concubine Ning's matter, the prime minister was angry, so he stopped the court and said that he was ill. Who would believe it?It's just an excuse.

"Okay, I got it. All the lovers have something to say, and nothing to do." After Concubine Ning's death, the emperor was also in a heavy heart.

After all, Concubine Ning is one of the few concubines in the harem that the emperor treats sincerely. It should be said that she is by far the emperor's favorite concubine in the harem. The emperor was so kind to her, but it's a pity that Concubine Ning passed away at a young age.

In the Ning family, there is only such a precious girl. At the beginning, Prime Minister Ning sent this niece into the palace in order to strengthen his power, but he did not expect that it was destined to be a tragedy.

Tianxuan Palace

"Queen, are you looking for your son?" The emperor asked listlessly.

"Well, sit down." The queen mother took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"it is good."

"Your Majesty, the Ai family heard that...Prime Minister Ning is leaving the court today?" The Queen Mother was obviously very displeased.

"Oh, it's not that the imperial court is dismissed, it's that the prime minister is sick and needs a few days off to recuperate." The emperor explained on behalf of the prime minister.

"Your majesty, don't you use these excuses to lie to the children to fool Aijia, won't Aijia understand? Last time, because Concubine Ning's child was gone, he went to Tianxuan Palace to ask the teacher, this time, Concubine Ning Immortal passed away, he is in the same situation as us, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on." The queen mother analyzed angrily.

"Mother, Prime Minister Ning has always loved Lingshan very much, and it is natural to be sad, so don't take it too seriously." In contrast, the emperor can quite understand Prime Minister Ning's mood.

"What is this called? As the elder of the three dynasties, relying on his own honorable status, he disregarded our royal face and relied on his elders. This kind of person should resign from his official position, so as not to let him restrain us. A little prime minister, unexpectedly repeated Concubine Ning's child is also the grandson of Ai's family when she loses her temper. Wouldn't Ai's family be sad if something happened? This time, Concubine Ning committed suicide and it has nothing to do with us. What is he doing?" The Empress Dowager obviously had accumulated dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Ning long ago, and spoke out all at once.

Naturally, the emperor couldn't say anything, so he could only persuade the queen mother to calm down: "Queen mother, don't be angry, what should you do if you lose your phoenix body? Let's do this first. Prime Minister Ning is in a bad mood, so we all understand. "

"Your Majesty, we can't let him continue to make trouble like this? Prime Minister Ning made such a fuss today, do you think the court can't do without him? Then what about in the future? If the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Punishment, they will all make trouble too. Once the court is over, how will the emperor deal with it at that time?" The queen mother asked sharply.

"This...?" Obviously, the emperor was not prepared, so naturally he didn't know how to answer.

"The emperor can't answer. The Ai family feels that this matter must be severely punished, and their unhealthy atmosphere should be cured. I don't know who gave them these problems. For so many years, our Xigong family has given them prosperity Lu, is this how they repay us? Let’s go to the imperial court at every turn? It’s unreasonable, do you really think we can’t do without him?” The queen mother became more and more excited, and finally she slapped the table and stared.

The emperor also didn't dare to say anything... He just listened to the teachings of his mother.

"Your Majesty, are you listening to Aijia's words?" The Queen Mother asked sideways.

"Yes, my son has been listening." The emperor replied with a sigh.

"Then what do you want to do with this matter?" the Queen Mother asked.

"This... Erchen hasn't thought it through yet, Rong Erchen should go back and think about it." The emperor said slowly.

"No, this matter is imminent. The Ai family thinks it's better to replace Prime Minister Ning directly. Doesn't he want to stop the court? Then don't come forever." The Queen Mother said word by word.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his head in denial: "This... this is not acceptable, queen mother, this matter is of great importance. Prime Minister Ning is the elder of the three dynasties... him?"

Before the emperor finished speaking, the queen mother rushed to say impatiently: "What about the elders of the three dynasties? Could it be that he has been threatening our royal family with this? Your majesty, such a minister must not condone rape. For a long time, I am afraid that other officials will follow suit." .”

"What the queen mother said is reasonable, but Prime Minister Ning is the prime minister of a country, and it doesn't mean that you can get rid of it if you take it away. It involves a lot of things. I'm afraid this matter needs to be discussed in the long run." The emperor's attitude towards this matter has always been very conservative. .

"Your Majesty, the Ai family has checked every move of this old fox. The Ai family is even more aware of what kind of power he has. The Ai family plans to change blood this time, just to replace all his powers, so as not to What to worry about in the future." It seems that the queen mother has made up her mind this time, and will not stop doing anything, and will directly take away the power of Prime Minister Ning.

"But if this is the case, the ministers in the court will object. Prime Minister Ning has been an official for decades, and he has not made any credit, but he has also worked hard. Now that he is old, is our Xigong family going to treat a person who used to serve the country and the people like this? Prime Minister? At that time, there will be complaints, how will I explain to the people in the world? Have you ever thought about this issue, Queen Mother?" The emperor's worry is not unreasonable, but the Queen Mother seems to have some personal emotions for this Prime Minister Ning, so it seems to be a And eradicate all the forces of Prime Minister Ning.

"Your Majesty, the Ai family has already thought of a way, which can not only get rid of Prime Minister Ning, but also shut up everyone's mouths, as long as you are willing." The queen mother suddenly changed her tone a little softer.

"Listen to the queen mother." The emperor looked at the queen mother curiously.

"We can use the incident of Concubine Ning's death to give Prime Minister Ning the official position of Ding Guogong. On the surface, it looks very beautiful, and it seems to be a promotion. In fact, it secretly weakens his rights, because this title has no real power at all. At that time, I'm afraid even if he finds out, it will be difficult for him to tell." The Queen Mother really has a strong hand, and she will act swiftly and resolutely in everything she does.

The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded: "It's not impossible for the queen mother to do this, but I'm just worried... After this big change of blood, people will take advantage of others."

"Your majesty, you worry too much. Under the eyes of the Ai family, who dares to mess around, everything is under control." It seems that the queen mother is already full of confidence, and the victory is in her hands.

"Alright, the minister there obeys the Queen Mother's orders." Although the emperor didn't quite agree with the Queen Mother's actions, he understood that the Queen Mother had never participated in politics for so many years, so he should give the Queen Mother this face, whether she hated Prime Minister Ning or not. It doesn't matter if you remove obstacles for yourself, in short, this time, you should be filial to your mother.

Although the conversation was not very pleasant, the emperor finally compromised...

It's just that if the queen mother knows the situation in the court in the future, she will repent countless times for the stupid decision she made today.

three days later

The emperor issued an imperial decree, canonizing Prime Minister Ning as Duke of Dingguo, a first-class official, and rewarding many rare treasures to appease the mood of Ning's family.

Later, Prime Minister Ning was cut off, and the position of prime minister was replaced by Guo Yucheng, the cousin of the empress dowager. This incident caused a lot of sensation in the court.

Later, in order to eliminate the power of the prime minister, the queen mother arranged some new official positions and replaced some old officials. It can be described as a big exchange of blood in the court.

Prime Minister's Mansion

"My lord, congratulations, congratulations, you have now been conferred the title of Dingguo Duke?" said the prime minister's second wife with a smile on her face.

In ancient times, Duke was the biggest official position, actually it was Marquis, followed by Bo...

So in the eyes of outsiders, they all felt that the Ning family got a big deal this time. In fact, only Prime Minister Ning himself knew what happened.

Prime Minister Ning sighed heavily and said: "The old man is really old, even the emperor thinks that the old man is useless, so he took the opportunity to take down the old man's rights, no matter, no matter, Lingshan is dead, our Ning family will also leave It's over."

"Master, what are you talking about? Why does it sound like you are not happy at all?" The second lady asked suspiciously.

"Women should not interfere with court affairs." After finishing speaking, the prime minister got up and left the front hall.

Apart from this incident, Bianjing is also very calm, but I always feel that there seems to be a mysterious force surging under the calm surface.

Royal Palace
Yangxindian

The emperor was completely awake, reviewing piles of memorials. Since the prime minister was dismissed, officials from all over the country seemed to express their disapproval, and the emperor was helpless. Although he knew that the prime minister had ambitions, he understood his thoughts. He is the queen mother's cousin, but he is unavoidably reliable, so the emperor is also entangled in government affairs for a while, and his head is battered.

"Miss Shuyuan, the emperor is busy with official business, so you can't go in." The eunuch who was on duty outside said.

"It's okay, I'm here waiting for the emperor." During the days when Chen Shuyuan entered the palace, people felt very gentle and modest. Although she had just arrived not long ago, she had an excellent reputation.

"Let her in." The emperor shouted when he heard Chen Xi's voice from inside.
