Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 713 Cunning
After hearing Dug Tu's complaints, Cheng Rong immediately judged that someone with ulterior motives deliberately used slander and rumors to attack Dug Tu, forcing Die Tu to resign as prime minister.

"Your majesty is too magnanimous. Now that Zhou Ji is the traitor, why don't you get rid of Ma Yan and Fang Yun together? Now these thieves are colluding with the eunuchs, it is really a big problem for the court!" Ju Tu slapped the table, furiously said .

"Judu, the purpose of these guys is not to deceive the public opinion, but their ultimate goal is to overthrow all the new policies of reform. We either turn a blind eye to these conspirators, or for the sake of the peace of the people, we have no choice but to assist the emperor to get rid of them. They!" Cheng Rong said to Qutu seriously.

"But Mr. Cheng, the current situation for me is that I can't go home if I have a family, and I can't serve if I have a country. I must always focus on the present." Qutu said with a tired face.

"Ju Tu, you can just talk and laugh as you used to. Now that your wife has a child, she won't make too much trouble." Cheng Rong couldn't help laughing.

Qu Tu rode out of Cheng Rong's mansion on horseback. On the way, he met Ming Chao who happened to be wandering the street with his attendants. After realizing that it was Qu Tu, he dismounted immediately and waved his hands to signal.

"So it's Master Ming, why, today are you so interested in going shopping outside?" Qu Tu couldn't help but smile.

"Qutu, your reputation in the capital is not very good these days, you have to be careful of the villain secretly spreading rumors and framing Zhongliang!" Ming Chao pulled Qutu aside, and solemnly reminded Qutu.

"Master Ming, for the sake of the court, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, but it's fine for those guys to face me alone, and they dare to slander the Empress Dowager Ping, it's really intolerable!" Que Tu's eyes flickered Distressed meaning.

"Quitu, Empress Dowager Ping is the iron certificate of loyalty and goodness in the court. The emperor is often misunderstood by traitors, and it is the empress dowager who explains it. It is reasonable for her to be hated by those traitors. To be honest, I think that the imperial court The biggest worry now is the eunuch who hides behind the scenes, and this person follows the emperor every day, the most terrifying!" Ming Chao reminded Qu Tu very clearly.

"Ming Chao, is it possible to kill this eunuch?" Jue Tu frowned.

"One more thing, don't be afraid of throwing rats, the cronies around the emperor, if we make trouble, we are very likely to be framed!" Ming Chao sighed.

Zhou Palace, Shuilong Shuren Palace, after the initial repair and retreat from the imperial court, took tufts out of the palace gate from the back garden, and came to the streets and alleys of the capital for a walk, and people could be heard talking about excavating the Queen Mother of Peace everywhere. Very angry, he raged at Chu Sheng: "This is a disgrace to our royal family. How can this empress dowager stay in the palace?"

"The emperor calmed down and said something damning. The empress dowager stayed in the palace. In fact, it was a powerful official in the court who had selfish intentions." Tuo Sheng secretly smiled slyly, and hurriedly slandered Chu Xiujin seriously.

"Who? Who is it?" Chu Xiu couldn't help but frowned.

"Your majesty, of course it is the prime minister, who is both the Duke and the prime minister. He is an extremely human minister. He is a mere man, and he has been able to get to where he is today. Isn't there someone in the palace?" Tuo Sheng challenged despicably.

"You mean, those things about Queen Dowager Judu are true?" Chuxiu stared at Cusheng with fierce eyes.

"I don't dare to slander the Queen Mother like this, but I think of the emperor." Tuo Sheng immediately pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him, and pushed all the mistakes away.

"I understand, Ju Tu and the Queen Mother, these two must be separated, and it is best not to meet each other forever!" Chu Xiu couldn't help but Longyan was furious.

The next morning, at the Shuilong Shuren Hall, Chuxiu looked down at the officials coldly, and suddenly fell on Quetu's face: "I would like to ask the opinions of all my lovers, the queen mother is not very old, so trapped in such a It is too cruel to die in the palace, what I mean is, can we rebuild a garden for the Queen Mother as a place of inspection?"

Jue Tu's heart suddenly burned, knowing that someone must have slandered in secret, which made the emperor wary of Bao Si.

"Reporting to the emperor, I think that the Lishan Palace is the best place for the empress dowager to take care of her. It was the first emperor." It is suggested that the doctor Zhou Du immediately hold up the wat to play.

"Yes, this is a good place. I have decided to give the land of Lishan to Princess Wanyun as a fief. The Queen Mother Ping is the princess's biological mother. It is so right to accompany the princess to visit the fief and take care of the princess!" Immediately beamed with joy.

"Your Majesty, I think that this matter must not be decreed! The Empress Dowager has done a great job in rebuilding my great Zhou foundation. How can she be exiled to such a deserted place in the name of taking care of her? The subjects of the world will definitely be shocked! An Tong, the general of the Huben army, immediately raised his wat out of righteous indignation, knelt down to object, and spoke very fiercely.

"An Tong, don't scare me. The empress dowager takes care of Lishan Mountain. This is the emperor's kindness to the empress dowager. How can you explain that the emperor wants to exile the empress dowager? What are your intentions?" Taiwei Fang Yun immediately attacked An Tong fiercely.

"Fang Yun, you're really blasphemy. It's obvious that you, a villain, are the ones who instigate discord, yet you dare to justify your treacherous plot in a grand manner. It's really shameless!" An Tong was furious, and raised his wat to fight Fang Yun.

"Presumptuous, An Tong, don't think that you can be unscrupulous after winning a few battles in Shuilongguan. This is the Shuilong Shuren Palace, not Caishikou!" Chuxiu's face darkened, and he sternly reprimanded.

"An Tong, get down!" Qu Tu was afraid that An Tong would be too reckless and fall into Fang Yun's trap, so he quickly pulled An Tong's arm.

After coming down to court, Cheng Rong, An Tong, and Ming Chao's officials were all furious at Fang Yun and Ma Yan's tricks of spreading rumors and causing trouble, so they stepped forward and cupped their hands to Cheng Rong: "Brother Cheng, we are all in danger now, you In a word, do you want to send troops to Qing Jun's side immediately, and smash the eunuch's corpse into thousands of pieces?"

Cheng Rong stroked his beard and said, "It's not a bad thing for the Empress Dowager to visit Lishan Mountain. To leave the capital, the den of tigers and wolves, to enjoy the green mountains and beautiful waters, isn't it what the Empress Dowager dreams of?"

"Master Cheng, do you mean that we want us to have fun while we are suffering? The queen mother is exiled, and the emperor will be firmly controlled by that eunuch in the future. My Da Zhou's foundation has just been loyal, so I will repeat the same mistakes again?" Ming Chao resolutely objected. road.

"Then can we send troops to kill the traitors now?" Cheng Rong immediately stopped Ming Chao, and explained slowly: "Don't look at the group of traitors who are spreading rumors and slandering at the Queen Mother. In fact, their real conspiracy is to use the Queen Mother to stimulate digging Tu, let us lose our minds and go to them for revenge, so that Tuosheng can completely frame us as traitors, isn't that what traitors want?"

"That's right, Brother Cheng, you're right, we can't be too reckless, but once the queen mother leaves the capital and brings the princess back to the fiefdom, the queen will be lonely in the future. Wouldn't it be special if the group's survival intentions are not good for the queen?" The horror?" Qu Tu was very worried.

"Ju Tu, you must be calm. Only with peace of mind can the emperor believe that the group of Tuo Sheng is deliberately spreading rumors to make trouble, so you are the most important thing." Cheng Rong said a few words of comfort.

Back at the mansion, facing the squeamish Jiang Caibing and the reserved Xinyue, Quetu's heart was agitated and painful, but he couldn't say it clearly, Xinyue is so smart, she has already seen the pain of Quetu, so she returned to the mansion. After arriving at the study, Xinyue, with her big belly, took the initiative to have a heart-to-heart talk with Jutu.

"Quitu, is it because the Queen Mother was framed by a traitor and forced to move to the Lishan Palace with Princess Wanyun, which made you very heartbroken?" Xinyue asked straight to the point.

Jue Tu stared at Xinyue's willow eyebrows and beautiful face, and couldn't help but almost lost his composure: "Xinyue, yes, you know best how much Bao Si is in my heart, and now the dignified Empress Dowager Ping was slandered by an eunuch and asked to Being driven out of Luoyang to the abandoned cold palace in Lishan, will I feel better?"

"Ju Tu, for the sake of the overall situation, you have to be patient, because you are a hero of the Great Zhou, how can you be turned into a ghost by a few tongue-in-cheek rumors, the world is looking forward to your governance, the imperial court I'm waiting for your loyalty, so you can't give up on yourself!" Xinyue's words softly, like spring rain, watered the discouragement of Qu Chu.

"Xinyue, you are indeed Xie Yuhua who is beside the late emperor, what you said is too true." Jue Tu supported Xinyue's bright wrist and said with a happy eyebrow.

"Ku Tu, in fact, these words were all told by the Empress Dowager. Look, this is a letter sent by the Empress Dowager." Xinyue carefully took out a letter from the kit, and solemnly handed it to Jue Tu. superior.

"Sure enough, it's Si'er's handwriting. Xinyue, thank you for your comfort. I understand what I should do."
