After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 45
"In the past, what I stole was my brother's name and identity, but now, I want to steal the whole scene. Although this is not what I want." Ye Qinghuai said with a wry smile, "When I raised my head to receive the order, I saw Everyone in front of me is smiling at me, but I feel that the bright future that may have belonged to me has closed the door to me in an instant. The sky will never shine again."

"After I received the decree, my father-in-law told me that the eldest brother, the prince, and the fifth younger brother had all been put to death. I was the only prince left in the whole palace, so I could be entrusted with peace of mind. Then the queen mother suddenly rushed over and snatched it from me. After leaving the imperial decree, she stared at the imperial decree for a long time, her face was ashen, and she suddenly passed out."

"Since then, the health of the queen mother has never been better. Even when she was named queen and was promoted to the queen mother, I never saw her smile again. Every time I go to Yilan Palace to see her, no matter what I talk about, She always cried while talking. I was most afraid of seeing people cry, and I didn’t know how to persuade them, so I simply stopped visiting her.”

"Before she left, the queen mother told me that she regretted letting me take the place of her elder brother. But if she did it again, under the circumstances, she would still make the same choice. The queen mother also told me that although the royal family The princess has to live until she is five years old to be named by the inner court. My identity died at birth, so I have no name. But she once secretly named me Ye Qingcheng." Ye Qinghuai paused, as if a little Choked up, said, "In the end, she took my hand and asked me: 'Xiaocheng, do you hate me?' But before I answered her, she died."

There was silence in the room.Qin Baozhu asked: "Does Your Majesty hate... Empress Dowager Jingmin?"

Ye Qinghuai shook her head, thinking that Qin Baozhu would not be able to see, she said: "I don't hate. What is there to hate? God's will tricks people, if you want to hate, you can only hate God's will."

"What is Your Majesty going to do in the future? To be an emperor, one must have no heirs, right?" Qin Baozhu asked.

"There are emperors who have no heirs. But I am going to find a trustworthy person to give up the throne."

Qin Baozhu was startled and said, "Abdication? To whom?"

"I haven't found it yet."

"Your Majesty, don't you want to be emperor yourself?"

"Do not want to."

"Why? When the emperor eats well and lives well, you can get whatever you want. Why doesn't your majesty want to be emperor?"

Ye Qinghuai smiled wryly and said: "You also saw today that a captain of the sixth grade dared to threaten me. This is my current situation in the court. In this way, you also feel that I can get whatever I want what?"

Qin Baozhu was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, are there any treacherous ministers in the court?"

Ye Qinghuai laughed at her question, and said: "Infidelity is treachery. Although Gu Shihai is not loyal to me, he is loyal to his father. As far as Yu Guo is concerned, it is difficult for me to say whether it is loyalty or treachery. But he... He is indeed a powerful minister. He can cover half of the world in the Dajing Dynasty."

"Are ministers good or bad?"

"...From the emperor's point of view, most of them are bad. But there are also good ones. Emperor Yongle, who was promoted to the court, had no intention of political affairs. He had not been in court for 30 years. The government was completely controlled by Prime Minister Li Qiaoling. During Li Xiang's reign, Yongle created a prosperous age. , the Dingtian system that has been promoted has been in use until now, this is a good official. As for Gu Shihai..." Ye Qinghuai sighed, and said, "He should be hoping that I will be like Emperor Yongle."

"Does he not want His Majesty in charge?"

Ye Qinghuai said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, in the front hall of Jingshou Palace, he asked me bluntly why I interfered in the affairs of the court, but because the harem is not fun."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Baozhu sat up abruptly, and said angrily, "He talks like that? He's too arrogant!"

The movement of a figure in the darkness caused even the wind in the air to have a murderous look. Ye Qinghuai was startled and stood up.A ray of moonlight came in from the gap in the window and fell on the ground between Ye Qinghuai and Qin Baozhu, dimly reflecting Qin Baozhu's shining eyes.

"Did His Majesty not deal with him?"

Hearing the word "clean up", Ye Qinghuai smiled again, and asked: "How do you think I should clean him up?"

Qin Baozhu was startled, and said: "Kill him? Or remove him from office."

Ye Qinghuai shook her head and said, "I can't do these things. I can't deal with him, and I can't deal with him."

"Why?" Qin Baozhu asked puzzled.

"First of all, if I want to dismiss him, I need someone to take him down. With Gu Shihai's prestige in the court, if I bring up this matter, I am afraid that a large group of people will speak for him. Especially those officials, citing scriptures I can use the ancient satire to say that I feel that I have made a big mistake and wronged my loyal ministers. Even if he is taken down, the court's second assistant will have to be tried by the three divisions. All of these three divisions are his people. Follow his order. Even if he is guilty, he will become innocent in court. Therefore, I will not dismiss him."

"As for what you said about killing him, the emperor should assassinate Cifu..." Ye Qinghuai paused, then chuckled, "I don't know how future history books will judge such a bizarre incident. I am far from him If you don’t go to this point, you won’t be able to do such a desperate thing for a while.”

"But he always... insulted His Majesty like that!" Qin Baozhu still couldn't hide his anger.

"As long as this matter is not spread, it will not damage the majesty of the Tian family, so it doesn't matter."

"I didn't mean that." Qin Baozhu was a little angry, but she didn't know what to say. Finally, she asked, "I mean, aren't you angry when he said that about you?"

Ye Qinghuai was stunned for a moment and said: "Ah, I even broke a cup for this." She said seriously again, "But I can't move him now, not only because I can't control him, but also because I can't control him. The important thing is that I can't touch him now. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War are all under his jurisdiction. Especially the Ministry of War. He is in charge of most of the Forbidden Army, the Sanfa Division Yamen, and the Nine Gate Guards of Gyeonggi. At least three of them are his confidantes. If he suddenly has troubles, these departments will immediately be in chaos. Internal troubles will inevitably lead to foreign troubles. Yunzhou was defeated three years ago, and the three counties north of Baishan were taken away by Beidi. If there is another change in the court, Beidi will definitely wait for the opportunity to go south, and then the whole Yunzhou will be in danger."

As she spoke, she became worried again. She couldn't help but frowned, and muttered to herself: "I am indeed angry with Mr. Gu Ge, but I have to rely on him. To be honest, even if I really brought him down If someone else comes up, I don't know whether this person can do a better job than Mr. Gu Ge."

Qin Baozhu was a little confused.But she changed her mind and said to Ye Qinghuai: "Your Majesty has said so much and thought about it so much. Every word he said was about the court, and none of it was about himself. Your Majesty is clearly concerned about the court. You want to talk about abdicating the throne? Can His Majesty really feel at ease and entrust the world to others?"
