Bao Ci Hall.
Compared with some time ago, the atmosphere in the palace today was much better.
Bao Ci Hall is the Queen Mother's palace. Anyone who can enter Bao Ci Hall is a master of observing words and expressions.
Even if not, someone will remind you.
The change in atmosphere all originated from the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother, who usually only ate one bowl of rice, actually ate two bowls today, and the smile on her face was a little wider.
It can be seen that the Queen Mother is in a good mood today.
A few days ago, the atmosphere in the palace was so terrible that there was almost no smile on the Queen Mother's face.
The palace people didn't even dare to step too hard when walking. After all, if they offended the Queen Mother, there would be no good consequences.
The palace people who have been under high pressure for a long time finally breathed a sigh of relief silently today.
Liu E is indeed in a good mood today. The reason why she is in a good mood is precisely because she heard the report from Yiying Pavilion.
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
Officials actually revealed their intention to use troops in the lecture hall today.
The sixteen states of Yanyun.
Both Yizu and Taizong never forgot it.
There is no doubt that both Yizu and Taizong are heroes. Even if they can't do something, the official family actually wants to inherit the ancestor's ambition?
The most important thing is that Guan Jia is still a teenager.
If this word spreads to other dynasties, it will definitely leave a bad impression on the ministers.
The weapons together cost more than hundreds of millions.
Liu E is now in power, and no one knows the current situation of the country better than her.
Redundant officials are wasted on those above, and redundant soldiers are wasted on those below.
Short of money!
Everything is missing!
Under such circumstances, the officials actually showed their ambition to regain Yanyun.
When Liu E came to this conclusion, she wanted to laugh three times.
However, she couldn't. Her identity determined that she couldn't do this, even if everyone in the palace was her confidant.
Not only could she not, she had to look worried.
In this way, it is consistent with her identity.
Therefore, Liu E could only laugh wildly in her heart.
During this period, she was actually under a lot of pressure. Her pressure came from many aspects.
Ruling the world is far more difficult than she imagined.
Although she took over some state affairs while the late emperor was still there, she had a backbone in her heart at that time. Whenever she encountered any difficulties, the late emperor was there.
But now, after the late emperor passed away, she was completely alone, with all her worries and no one to talk to.
Secondly, the struggle outside Korea also consumed a lot of her heart.
The dispute between the southerners and the northerners has arisen again.
Until now, Liu E also realized that recalling Kou was a bad move.
In the short term, she did get an opportunity to check and balance Ding Wei, but in the long term, once Kou Zhun returned to the court, the northern scholars suddenly had a backbone.
Northern scholars have become more united!
The country's dynasty has always valued the north and underestimated the south. Even though the southern scholars are now in charge of power, the time is too short and the foundation is insufficient.
As soon as the northern scholars joined forces, they immediately had the capital to challenge the southern scholars.
The outer court is not at peace, and the palace is also uneasy. Although the official is young, he is the emperor, and he is born with great righteousness.
If the official wanted to be in charge, even if the official had little leverage, Liu E did not dare to look down upon him.
The struggle between the north and the south was external, and officials were pressing inside. At the same time, there were internal and external struggles (referring to the power of the monarch and the power of the prime minister). Faced with such a complicated situation, Liu E had a hard time holding on.
It's quite a bit exhausting.
Sometimes, she even thinks that if she doesn't directly return to power, whoever wants to take over this mess will take over.
Don’t officials want to be pro-government?
Let him go!
Liu E wanted to see what would happen to a child in the face of such a huge and intricate force.
So what?
After all, Guan Jia is still a child. When he tastes the pain, won't it be up to her to restore the government?
However, this idea did not last long.
Liu E was reluctant to let go, even if it was for a moment, even if it was a good strategy to retreat in order to advance, she was not willing.
At dusk, Liu E summoned Ren Shouzhong back from Dingling.
Ren Shouzhong's current mission is to act as the Royal Medicine Institute, that is, the top leader of the Royal Medicine Institute.
Although the main job of the Imperial Pharmacy is to check the authenticity of prescriptions and prepare them for intrauterine use.
But at the same time, it also took care of the emperor's travels to serve around him, to perform etiquette, to conduct imperial examinations, to give appointments to ministers, to propagate imperial edicts, and to serve as envoys and supervisors.
Therefore, the position of royal medicine is the most intimate, and only true confidants can hold this position.
Lei Yungong, whom Liu E used so much before, cannot be compared with Ren Shouzhong in terms of psychological status.
Liu E specially recalled Ren Shouzhong today. Naturally, it was extremely important.
She wanted the official's remarks today to reach the ears of the two ministers as soon as possible. This matter not only had to be done quickly, but also secretly enough.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu E finally decided to leave it to Ren Shouzhong.
Ren Shouzhong was the most thoughtful and left it to him, so Liu E could rest assured.
…
…
…
The next day.
Facts have proved that Liu E was right. Ren Shouzhong not only did things quickly and well, but even exceeded Liu E's expectations.
In just one day, the ministers who should receive the news learned one after another about the remarks made by the officials in Yiying Pavilion.
In order to do this, Ren Shouzhong took a risk.
Ren Shouzhong got into the palace with help from Yin. His adoptive father Ren Wenqing was once a senior chamberlain in the Zhenzong Dynasty, and could also be regarded as a close attendant.
In the beginning, Ren Shouzhong was picked by Liu E mostly because of Ren Wenqing's face.
But this time, Ren Shouzhong used the connections left by his adoptive father.
He passed the news to Lu Yijian.
Although this relationship has always existed, it was the first time that Ren Shouzhong used it.
He was originally a close servant of the Queen Mother, holding an important position, and the most taboo thing for a chamberlain was to have connections with both internal and external parties.
Therefore, for Ren Shouzhong, this time he took a big risk.
Even with the Queen Mother's instructions, even if it was the first time, in his opinion, this was still a risky move.
After finishing this matter, Ren Shouzhong silently warned himself.
These matters can be done one way or the other!
Ren Shouzhong did it secretly, but he could not hide it from Liu E's eyes.
After hearing Lin's report, Liu E learned that Ren Shouzhong had hooked up with foreign ministers without permission. Not only was she not angry, but she silently praised Ren Shouzhong in her heart.
This kid finally got the idea.
It is definitely a taboo for a chamberlain to hook up with the inside and outside, but Liu E doesn't think so. It would be a waste not to use it if it is relevant.
Lu Yijian was from a well-known family and had many allies around her. She had long wanted to take the opportunity to draw Lu Yijian into her camp.
However, this guy is also cautious, and Liu E has been suffering from the lack of a suitable opportunity.
As the Queen Mother, she couldn't give a direct order for Ren Shouzhong to get close to Lu Yijian, right?
Having a divine destiny connecting the inside and outside and not having a divine destiny are completely different things!
The nature is also completely different.
Now, with Ren Shouzhong's secret message, she finally had the right opportunity.
On the other side, Ren Shouzhong has returned to the imperial mausoleum. He has not yet reacted. Unknowingly, he has stepped into the trap prepared by the Queen Mother for him.
