After seeing off the brother and sister-in-law, Queen Mother Chen ordered her confidants to go down and deal with the insiders. No, it should be said that they were villagers from the same village as Orion at that time. After all, if it weren't for them, Wei'er would not have died.
The person who told Chen Wei's identity deserved more death. Without that person, with that Orion's ability, he would have been hard-pressed to find Wei'er in his life.
The days went on in an orderly manner.
Lu Qing, apart from going to court every day, would also go back to the palace where he lived to entertain himself, so his day was fully arranged.
He had no idea about the turbulent undercurrents inside and outside the palace.
Nothing bad happened. It must be said that she was very satisfied with this kind of life!
Except for the morning court, where it was a bit annoying for the ministers to ask him to make decisions from time to time and express their own opinions, the rest was fine.
Anyway, she blocked them all.
It would be nice to just be an emperor who eats, drinks and has fun. Anyway, there are people taking care of political affairs.
Lu Qing was extremely bored after going to the morning court for so many days. In addition, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the morning court time was also earlier every day. It really shouldn't be too torture for those who have difficulty getting up.
Therefore, Lu Qing now began to secretly plan to "take a leave" or something.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Some people in the capital took the lead in parading through the streets to cry out for injustice and denounced the Queen Mother's various crimes. Public opinion grew out of control. A group of people squatted in front of the ministers' houses, all with the purpose of begging the ministers to seek justice.
As a result, Lu Qing's "asking for leave" plan was postponed.
at this time.
Xuanhe Hall.
The place where the emperor works.
All the maids and eunuchs were sent out, and Lu Qing and several cabinet ministers stared at each other. After all, they had only met in the morning.
"...My dear friends, please take a seat."
Lu Qing broke the silence.
【Is there something big going on today? 】
Several ministers thought to themselves, isn’t it? It is indeed a big deal!
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Several people did not refuse and sat down calmly.
They exchanged glances and sat at attention, waiting for Su Xiang to speak first.
Lu Qing was not in a hurry. Anyway, what they always said was that every time they talked about something, they would hesitate like this.
However, this was the first time she met several ministers in private, and they were the most prestigious people in the court. It was different from the one in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Lu Qing thought, maybe it was because they were closer?
Su Xiang didn't want to talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, have you heard about the people parading outside the palace?"
Lu Qing said confidently, "I haven't heard of it."
She was busy training during this period, and she almost didn't hear anything going on outside the window, and no one dared to disturb her.
Moreover, where could she, a little emperor with no real power, find anyone to inquire about this matter?
Prime Minister Su and the ministers were not surprised by this answer.
"Your Majesty, many people outside the palace gathered in the streets to cry out for injustice. They denounced the Queen Mother for harboring all kinds of crimes in Chen Guogong's palace, and used her status as Queen Mother to suppress the people wantonly. I heard that because of Chen Wei's incident, an entire village was angered. Now this matter There has been an uproar in the capital, everyone is aware of it, and it is likely to continue to spread. Public opinion is very unfavorable to the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, you see..."
Su Xiang hesitated to speak, seeming very embarrassed, but his eyes were secretly observing the little emperor to see how he would react?
After all, the purpose of coming here today is to test how much the young emperor cares about the Queen Mother?
This is important!
It determines the final outcome of the Queen Mother.
After all, she is the biological mother of the emperor and the empress dowager of a country. Since she has decided in her heart that she will assist the little emperor in the future and create a prosperous age for the Yu Kingdom, then the little emperor's thoughts are very important.
If the young emperor has deep feelings for the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother must not die. After all, they cannot cause a rift between their monarch and his ministers because of Queen Mother Chen.
However, if the little emperor has only a neutral affection for Queen Mother Chen or has an indifferent attitude, then they will not be restrained when doing things.
However, several ministers privately believed that based on their recent understanding of the little emperor, the latter was more likely.
So now we are waiting to see what the little emperor will say.
Several ministers stared at the little emperor above them without blinking.
Even the ministers who were formerly with the Queen Mother's faction had already been brainwashed by Su Xiang and the Six Ministers in various ways.
In short, if you don’t want the country to be ruined and the family to be ruined, it’s best to unite the front and not form cliques. Only by being united in dealing with the outside world can you save the building from collapse.
Because since the first time he heard the little emperor's voice, the cautious minister had already used his personal network to conduct various investigations, and they were able to find out the turbulent undercurrents under the calm situation.
Among them, the ones who found the most and the most in-depth records were Su Xiang and several ministers.
In the past few days, several ministers confessed to each other everything they had found out later. After integrating the information, they were extremely shocked, and then they could hardly sleep.
Compared with the trivial information found before, this time it is enough to shock the government and the opposition.
The Ling Kingdom and the Fenglan Kingdom have long been in cahoots with each other, and there are countless spies lurking in the Dayu Kingdom. Moreover, according to the caravans traveling between the three countries, the Ling Kingdom and the Fenglan Kingdom have changed many policies on the grain trade this year.
Nowadays, food is sold very quickly in the two countries, and the price is at an all-time high. The two countries are purchasing food on a large scale, and the reason revealed is for disaster relief.
On the contrary, it is almost impossible to buy food from the two countries.
Those businessmen may not think much about it, but Prime Minister Su and other ministers are foxes with thousands of years of experience. What else do they not understand after hearing this?
Isn't this just to reserve food and grass for the war?
This result made the ministers extremely scared. The other ministers who knew about this really put away their inner thoughts and united together.
Otherwise, their country might really be destroyed.
When Lu Qing heard this, he was shocked in his heart [Ah, this...isn't there such a thing in the book? What went wrong? Is it because XXXXXXXX (I am an outsider) that the butterfly effect has occurred? Also, these are all XXXXXXXX (real world, plot) and cannot be static. From this point of view, the XXXX (plot development) in the book can only be used as a reference. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing? 】
[However, that woman really loves her precious nephew. It feels like she is capable of doing such a crazy thing. In her eyes, human life is like a piece of grass. I am afraid that except for her natal family, there is no one in this world that she cares about. She's human, oh, there's also the little chubby one, those are her eyeballs, tsk tsk tsk, now these old men suddenly come to ask me what I mean? Test me? 】
Um! ? ? ?
Several cabinet ministers were confused for a moment, why couldn't they hear a few words clearly? ?
They looked at each other, but they all had the same confused expression.
Obviously, everyone has the same doubts.
