Chapter 112 Queen Wu Lin Chao Zhong
Some people are born with the temperament of an emperor, and Empress Wu is obviously one of them. You can scold her for being shameless, or you can scold her for her beauty disaster. You can also scold her ambition, but you can never deny the unique demeanor of the king of the world. Not to mention the power of the aura is enough. In order to deter the whole audience, even the best staff at the first level of Zaifu could not have the heart to compete on the spot. In the face of the prestige of the Empress Dowager, there are very few ministers of literature and martial arts who can really maintain a normal heart, let alone attack such an over-restricted move of the Queen of Wu. Some of them are just modesty.
"All Aiqing, I have been entrusted by your majesty to preside over the court affairs. If you have the original requirements, please feel free to play it." The Empress Wu looked around at the ministers in the hall and saw that no one dared to look at him. She was very satisfied with the respectful and modest performance of the ministers. Then she opened her red lips and said calmly. The old demeanor could not see that this was the first time in the court, and it was really like a familiar twist of an emperor for a long time.
"The Empress, Weichen has this chapter here. Today, the drought around Hao, Chen, Song and Pu is beginning to appear. The emergency document of the governor of the four states has arrived at the capital. Weichen implored the Empress to be exempted from the money and grain of the four states and open a warehouse to release the grain to help the disaster victims." As soon as Queen Wu finished speaking, Liu Yizhi had stood up from the queue of courtiers and reported loudly.
"Boom..."
As soon as Liu Yizhi wrote this book, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly got up. Only because in the imperial edict announced the day before, it was only said that this court was a referendum on the case of Xu Jingzong's impeachment of Liu Xiangdao. No one expected that this court discussion would go away from the beginning. The ministers were surprised and couldn't help talking about it privately.
"Do you have any objection to this? If so, please stand up and explain it in detail. I will listen carefully!" As soon as she saw the disorderly order in the hall, Empress Wu's face immediately sank, raised her hand and pressed it, and asked in a cold voice.
I have to say that the aura of the Queen of Wu is indeed strong. That's how she drank, and the sound of discussion like an open pot actually subsided. A group of courtiers were full of doubts, but no one dared to stand up and say "no". The hall was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground in an instant.
"The Empress is clear. Weichen thinks that what Liu said about it is very well. It's almost midsummer, and the drought is together, and the people can't live. Their feelings are sad. It should be given first aid!" As soon as the courtiers calmed down, Zhou Simao, the author (from the fifth grade), strode to the hall and echoed one of Liu Yi in a loud voice.
"Well, what the two Aiqing played is extremely good. The people are the foundation of the community. Since there are difficulties, I think it should be a treat." Queen Wu nodded to show her attitude, and then suddenly raised her voice and said, "Yan Liben."
"The old minister is here."
Hearing Wu Hou's name, although Yan Liben was full of reluctance, he could only stand up and bow to his order.
"The intention of this palace has been decided. It should be necessary to provide for the people. Since you are the secretary of the Ministry of Household, this matter will be handled by you. Is it difficult?" Wu looked at Yan Liben in awe and asked quietly.
"The old minister obeys."
Yan Liben actually wanted to refute it, but there was no legitimate reason. After all, disaster relief is what the Ministry of Household should do. He really has no place to shirk. No matter how unwilling he is, he can only answer bravely.
"Well, that's the best." Queen Wu seemed to smile with relief, and then looked at the prince Li Hong, who was sitting in front of her, and said in an extremely flat tone, "Does the prince have any objection to this matter?"
Objection? Yes, not only do you have it, but it's also big. As the prince of the prison, he can only watch the queen Wu there. Li Hong's lungs are about to explode, and his face is as dark as the bottom of the pot. The problem is that this disaster relief is a measure that the court should take. How can Li Hong say the word "no"? He has no choice but to do. He bowed to the Empress Wu and replied vaguely, "The Queen Mother is holy."
"Well, that's the case. There are difficulties in the four states. I really can't bear to sit and enjoy comfort. I should reduce my monthly salary by half for disaster relief. From below my palace, all people in the harem will do so." The Empress Wu didn't care how ugly the prince's face was. She nodded and made a decision by herself. Finally, she nodded and said, "Gao Hesheng, this matter will be handled by you. Hand over the money and things collected to the household and send them to the disaster victims. Listen, you should be smarter. Don't let the people of the worms be full of their own pockets. Otherwise, I'm asking!"
"Yes, the old slave obeys the Queen's decree."
Gao Hesheng was originally a cronin of the Empress Wu. At this time, he saw that the Empress Wu handed over the power to supervise the Ministry of Household to her own hands. There was no reason to be unhappy, and she hurriedly accepted it.
Gao Hesheng was proud, but Li Xian was so angry that his face could drip water. He glared at Gao Hesheng with his fiery eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. There seemed to be signs of anger. However, at the bottom, he still did not have the courage. He could only sit back in his original position. A group of princes and officials Seeing this, the members did not dare to stand up and refute at this time, so eagerly watching the Empress Wu deal with the government on the stage.
"Keizuo Niangniang, Weichen also has this chapter here."
After the disaster relief, before the courtiers came to their senses, another North Gate bachelor rushed out of the queue and reported it loudly. Everyone fixed their eyes and found that it was Dr. Guozi (on the fifth grade) who stood up.
"What kind of chapter does Yuan Aiqing have? I'm listening to it."
Queen Wu gently raised her hand, motioned Yuan Wanqing to be flat, and nodded with encouragement.
"Weichen enlightened the Empress. Since I was ordered to compile the text for the imperial examination, I have been working hard. It has been only half a month, and the progress has been very fast. However, Weichen has a puzzled. All the texts are from the saints, which is indeed appropriate. However, in Weichen's opinion, the current text is also indispensable. Weichen thinks that if it is The three volumes of "The Track", "The New Remonition of Bureaucrats" and "The Book of Music" are included in the text of the imperial examination. It can take into account both the past and the present, and it is really good. I beg the Empress to make a clear decision. Yuan Wanqing bowed and talked, pointing his finger at the imperial examination that Li Xian, the king of Lu, was responsible for.
There was an uproar. As soon as Yuan Wanqing's words fell, the courtiers in the palace talked about it again. No one expected that the Empress Wu had just finished hitting the prince's face, and in an instant, he turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at Li Xian. Did he really intend to subdue all the powerful factions in the court? In addition, Yuan Wanqing didn't have a big mess with Li Xian until he was old. At this time, he was preparing to make trouble with the Li Xian brothers again in court. This drama was really wonderful enough. The courtiers were shocked and surprised, and they all got up.
Angry, Li Xian was already extremely dissatisfied with the queen of Wu's oyster chicken Si Chen. When he saw the spearhead, he unexpectedly came at himself. He was furious and snorted coldly with a dark face. He strode out and shouted loudly, "Queen Mother, my son is against it!"
As soon as they saw Li Xian stand up, the courtiers all calmed down in an instant, and their eyes were all condensed on Wu Hou. They all wanted to see how the Wu Hui would subdue Li Xian, who had always been a little unruly, but there were also many courtiers' eyes on Li Xian, who stood quietly in the queue.
Hmm, what does this thief want to do? Do you decide the universe in one day? No matter how confident she is, there is no reason. With a group of shameless North Gate bachelors, she can play in the court? It can't be done at all! Although Li Xian's face is as plain as usual, his heart is full of ups and downs. For a moment, he can't see what the intention of Wu Hou's move is. He can only take a quiet observation of the change first. In addition, Li Xian has stood out at this time, and Li Xianzi can only stabilize his position first, so as not to be followed by Wu without preparation. One by one.
"Does Xian'er have any objection? Well, let's talk about it and listen to me." The Empress Dowager Wu was not angry because Li Xian jumped out and choke, and ignored the doubtful eyes of the courtiers. She just calmly raised her hand and said indifferently.
"The mother's wisdom, the collection of holy humanities is a small word and righteousness, and the sacred principle of mutual respect in the world. Since ancient times, no one can be side by side with it. Today's so-called current text, compared with the ancient sages, is not as strong as the bright moon, stronger than the bright moon. The people laugh at the ears of the ages, and the children and ministers really dare not agree with such delusions!" Li Xian's personality has always been strong. Although he was afraid of the Empress Wu, he was by no means as weak as the prince. He rudely refuted Yuan Wanqing's advice and did not care about the face problems of the Empress Wu. As soon as this was said, the whole dynasty was in an uproar again.
"Queen, I thought what His Royal Highness Lu said!"
"The empress is clear. Yuan Wanqing is rude and disrespectful. She humiliates the saint, and her sins are unforgivable!"
"Yes, I also think that Yuan Wanqing is rude, and his crime is not small!"
......
Li Xian is about to come out. His first series of officials, such as Lin Qi and Yang Wu, did not dare to neglect themselves. They came out to scold Yuan Wanqing one after another. In the end, many bold courtiers also stood up to wave their flags and shout. The hall was immediately full of the sound of condemning Yuan Wanqing. Its momentum was not small, but What puzzled the courtiers was that Li Xian, who had always supported Li Xian, did not do anything this time and always stood firmly in the queue.
"Hmm." Queen Wu always listened to the rebuttal of the ministers and workers silently. Her face was extremely plain. It was not until the courtiers were enough noisy that Queen Wu raised her hand in vain and said softly, stopping the last sound of the courtiers. She was not in a hurry to make a statement, but looked around at the ministers in the hall. Finally, her eyes fell on Li Xian's On his body, he smiled and said kindly, "Xian'er, you have always had your opinions and have a lot of experience in the imperial examination. In your opinion, is Dr. Yuan's advice feasible?"
As soon as Queen Wu said this, the eyes of the minister were all focused on Li Xian. Even though Li Xian was calm, he was worth it at this time, but he also felt a lot of pressure, and his heart couldn't help trembling...
