What's more, this queen has not yet held a ceremony to enthrone her, so she is not considered a queen in the true sense.
"I think our emperor loves this empress very much." A eunuch looked at the retreating figures of the two empresses and said, "The emperor only has such a woman in his entire harem, and he directly made her the empress without any selection. What."
"Do you even need to say this?" Another eunuch sighed, "I heard from the brothers in the manufacturing office that the emperor personally designed the clothes for the empress. Not only are the styles beautiful, but because of this, husbands have become popular in the capital. The trend of wives designing clothes.”
"I know, last time, the emperor was locked out by the queen, hahaha."
"Shh-" the little eunuch hurriedly hissed, "keep your voice down, otherwise we will be dead if someone hears it. The emperor is not a good-tempered person."
Another young eunuch suppressed a smile and whispered, "It's okay, our Queen is the best person. With the Queen, the Emperor even loses his temper a lot less now."
The two eunuchs walked farther and farther away.
...
Xiao Su entered the court directly from the main entrance of Jinluan Hall, while Yu Miaomiao chose to enter the inner hall of Jinluan Hall from the side door in order to be discreet.
There is only a wall between the inner hall and the court.
In this way, she can hear what the courtiers are going to do in court without running into them.
Inside the Jinluan Hall.
The courtiers had already arrived, chatting with each other, waiting for the emperor to come to court.
"Master Xie, I heard recently that the imperial examination results have come down. I wonder who is in the top three." Zhao Jing, who was standing next to Xie Shaoming from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, held up his sleeves and walked up to chat with him with a smile.
The other courtiers seemed to be quieter. They heard the conversation here, and they all whispered to each other about which pot Zhao Jing did not open and which pot he did not mention.
Xie Shaoming was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He had just been involved in the imperial examination controversy some time ago. He was suspected of using the imperial examination to sell his official position, which had already made the emperor very dissatisfied.
Now that Xie Shaoming could not protect himself, Zhao Jing mentioned this and stabbed his lungs.
Xie Shaoming shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Master Zhao is really leisurely. No matter what the top three imperial examination results are, I am more concerned about your son's results."
Zhao Jing naturally knew that Xie Shaoming was mocking his son's lack of learning and skill.
But Zhao Jing has long been accustomed to his son's prodigality, and now he feels relieved both physically and mentally as long as he sees Jian Shaoming deflated.
Xie Shaoming had previously hinted to him that as long as he gave Jie Fu five thousand taels of silver, he could buy his son an official position.
Zhao Jing obediently gave away the money, and Xie Shaoming also accepted it, but there was no sound after the money was taken out. It was obvious that he was accepting the money but not doing anything.
Zhao Jing was so angry that he privately scolded all Xie Shaoming's ancestors for eight generations.
Just because the emperor did not care about government affairs and Xie Shaoming covered the sky with one hand, Zhao Jing did not dare to do anything.
Now that Xie Shaoming was defeated, Zhao Jing naturally took the opportunity to mock him:
"I naturally know what my son's level is, but I'm afraid that some people don't know their own level and do evil in the court. Now that the emperor is wise and the queen is virtuous, I think some people are already grasshoppers after the fall and won't grow up~"
Stories about emperors and queens have long been circulated among the people, and the most famous one is the story about the queen advising the government. After being processed and arranged by storytellers, it has long become a widely circulated fable.
"you!"
Xie Shaoming was choked. If the emperor hadn't been bewitched by the queen and suddenly started asking questions about politics as if he were a different person, it would never have been Zhao Jing's turn to talk to him.
His face turned red with anger: "The ceremony of conferring the queen has not yet been held, and you are a queen. Could it be that the queen promised you some benefits? Many disasters in history all originated from the former dynasty and the harem——"
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Shaoming was kicked to the ground by a force of gravity from behind.
Because the floor in the Jinluan Palace was cleaned every day by the eunuchs and was very smooth, he even slid forward half a meter and bumped into the legs of other courtiers before he stopped.
Xie Shaoming felt tight in his chest and there was blood on the corner of his mouth, as if he had been kicked and suffered internal injuries.
There was an uproar in the court, but no one dared to move at all.
Because it was Xiao Su who kicked Xie Shaoming away.
The crackling sound of whips sounded just in time, which was very soul-stirring outside the hall.
This is the whip that the eunuch whipped in front of the main hall. It is called the quiet whip. It is a kind of ceremonial guard for the emperor. It means that the emperor is about to go to court and the courtiers must keep silence in the court.
Occasionally, the ministers could be heard sighing in the hall.
Xie Shaoming originally wanted to get up and see who was so bold as to kick him in the court, but when he turned around, he saw the bright yellow figure.
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately gave up after seeing the emperor. He said with a grimace, "Your Majesty, spare your life."
Before he could get up, Xiao Su kicked him back to the ground again.
Xiao Su put a foot on his back and forced his head up: "What did you just say? Say it again."
Xie Shaoming was lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state. The other courtiers were also frightened. In addition, Xie Shaoming's popularity in the court was really not very good, and no one helped him for a while.
"Your Majesty, spare your life..." Xie Shaoming said with difficulty, pulling his neck.
"That's not the case." Xiao Su's tone was calm, but the strength in his hands and feet did not loosen at all.
"Your Majesty, the ministers... suspected that Zhao Jing and the Queen... were colluding with each other to usurp power." Xie Shaoming held his neck to feel better, so he said it again.
In fact, he has long been dissatisfied with the Queen's interference in politics. If the Queen is allowed to continue like this, his dirty deeds will be discovered sooner or later, and he will definitely die by then.
It is better to attack the Queen earlier. Even if the Queen cannot be brought down, it will be considered a success if the Emperor is made suspicious.
Because once suspicion begins, the crime is not far away from being convicted.
Xiao Su wanted to break Xie Shaoming's neck on the spot, but he remembered the people in the inner hall, so he endured his temper and let go of the people at his feet, and said with dark eyes: "Continue talking."
The strength on his back suddenly disappeared, and Xie Shaoming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was something to this matter.
Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The emperor has done a lot of ridiculous things before. Sometimes Xie Shaoming really doesn't understand what the emperor is thinking.
His henchmen on the side quickly helped him up.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Jing sent five thousand taels of silver to Wei Chen's mansion some time ago just to win over Wei Chen for the Queen, but Wei Chen didn't accept it." Xie Shaoming continued, "Wei Chen didn't believe that this was the Queen's intention. , so I have been thinking about whether to tell the emperor, but today Zhao Jing made lies in front of the court, and I couldn't hold it back..."
The wind direction in the court seemed to be changing subtly, and Zhao Jing was immediately sweating.
