Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 14 The Prime Minister sighed

Xie Qingyun had a good sleep.

A night without dreams.

When she opened her eyes in the morning, she even couldn't believe it.

Runliu was waiting in the dormitory. When he saw her waking up, he came over with clothes in his arms and said, "I serve your majesty to change clothes."

Xie Qingyun groaned, sat up, and let Runliu dress herself while saying, "I slept very well last night."

More than excellent, simply refreshing.

Seeing that Xie Qingyun's condition was normal, Runliu showed a rare smile: "That's good."

Xie Qingyun followed Runliu's movements and put her arms through her sleeves: "I seemed to hear someone reciting sutras to me last night."

Runliu said: "Really?"

"Yes, could it be that the Imperial Master has been chanting sutras to me every day during this period and it has had an effect?"

Xie Qingyun raised her head slightly and asked Runliu to button her collar.

Runliu said: "Maybe."

Xie Qingyun smiled, got dressed, and was about to get out of bed to go to the morning court, but suddenly remembered: "Didn't I approve the memorial yesterday? Why did I come to the bed to approve it?"

As he was talking, a sharp pain suddenly came from the sole of his foot. Xie Qingyun frowned in pain, subconsciously lowered her head and saw her tightly wrapped foot.

The smile on her face quickly dissipated and she became somewhat silent.

"Runliu..."

"Did I get sick last night?"

Runliu said: "Yes."

"But this time is different from the past. Your Majesty just walked around the palace and then went back to his room to sleep. No one was hurt."

Xie Qingyun knew that Runliu never lied, so when she heard Runliu's words, her mood lifted a little: "Is it really true that the Buddhist scriptures of the National Master had an effect?"

"Maybe." Runliu replied.

Xie Qingyun glanced at her feet: "Well, you and I won't be able to go to court today. I'll criticize you for a while. In the afternoon, you can call the imperial master to continue chanting sutras for me."

Runliu should be.

Helping Xie Qingyun to sit down in the living room, Runliu began to report on state affairs: "The Gu family and his son are going to lead the army early tomorrow morning. Can your Majesty summon you?"

Xie Qingyun took a sip of tea and said, "No, you can go see me off for me."

"In addition, Prime Minister Zhang came to see you early in the morning. Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Qingyun's face turned cold: "No."

Runliu said: "The Prime Minister said that if His Majesty refuses to see him today, he will resign."

"?"

Xie Qingyun was furious: "Who stopped him from resigning?"

...After a few minutes: "Call the Prime Minister in."

Zhang Shuyue is Xie Qingyun’s teacher.

Although Xie Qingyun didn't like him, without Zhang Shuyue's control over major affairs in the court, she wouldn't be able to be as leisurely as she is now.

I heard that when the ancestor emperor was still alive, he was afraid that his ministers would gain power due to their high merits, so he simply abolished the prime minister, approved all the decisions by himself, and handled all major national affairs by himself.

As a result, I was exhausted at a young age.

Therefore, the later emperors learned their lesson and restored the prime minister system.

When Xie Qingyun became her father, there were at most five prime ministers in the court.

The chatter every day turned the court into a vegetable market.

Later, these five prime ministers inherited it from her.

He still chirped every day, and from time to time he would taunt her with a gun and a stick.

Xie Qingyun killed four of them.

Zhang Shuyue was left behind who could not be killed.

Now it has become the meat and potatoes.

In the past, when there were five prime ministers, everyone would quarrel and argue. It didn't matter if no one was involved in the quarrel. There were still four that could be used.

Now that the prime ministers have no reason to argue, the emperor's ears are clear.

It's just that once Zhang Shuyue resigns, Xie Qingyun will work like the ancestor emperor.

In order to keep Zhang Shuyue from leaving, she could only allow him to threaten her with resignation from time to time.

Zhang Shuyue was quickly called in. Although he was almost 80 years old, he was still walking fast.Xie Qingyun was currently eating breakfast with her two injured legs raised.

"Why is the teacher so angry?"

Xie Qingyun raised her head from the table of food and glanced at Zhang Shuyue.

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Shuyue was obviously angry: "Your Majesty, please take back your order and let the royal guards withdraw from the ministers' homes."

The day before yesterday, Xie Qingyun wanted to bet his life with the ministers in the main hall, but he didn't want to send Jin Yiwei to guard the door today to prevent people from escaping.

Now the few ministers in the capital who had been named were crying and blocking his door, asking him to make the decision.

After hearing this, Xie Qingyun sneered: "They usually have a hard time following what others say, what? Now they know they are afraid?"

Zhang Shuyue said: "Your Majesty, you are the Nine-Five Supreme Being and the Lord of a country. How can you still be like a child who does not understand the general situation and cares about every detail? Have you lost the dignity of the emperor and made people laugh!"

Xie Qingyun was a little annoyed when she heard people criticizing her for not being like an emperor early in the morning: "Before the teacher wants to criticize me, why not be unfair and see what those people have done first?"

"Why don't you stand up and say a few words for me when they are confronting me?"

"It's just a bunch of useless people who are paid by the emperor and kill as many people as they want. If I were really the Supreme Being, wouldn't I even have this little power?"

Xie Qingyun dropped her chopsticks to the ground with a crisp sound.

The palace people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

Tian Sheng, who had just walked in with a cup of tea, said "Ouch" in a hurry: "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"

He handed the tea to the palace servant and went to Zhang Shuyue's side to persuade him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please go back today. Your Majesty just fell ill yesterday and you can't be angry now."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuyue was startled.

He looked at Xie Qingyun, and suddenly all his anger disappeared, leaving only the soreness in his chest: "Your Majesty, are you sick again?"

Tian Sheng said: "That's right. There has been a war at the border recently. Your Majesty is taking care of the people in Liming. He worked hard all night yesterday, so I'm afraid he is tired."

Zhang Shuyue was silent.

Xie Qingyun sighed, calmed down, and waved her hand: "That's all, listen to the Prime Minister and withdraw the Jinyi Guards first."

"But the emperor's words are solid, and he has never retracted them." She changed the subject, looked at Zhang Shuyue, and did not get angry.

"If Gu's father and son can't win this time, none of those ministers will survive." Xie Qingyun's words were resounding.

However, Zhang Shuyue did not argue with her anymore. He only lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, although state affairs are important, the dragon's body is still important."

He cares about Xie Qingyun.

After all, he was the child he watched grow up.

As both a teacher and a minister, Xie Qingyun has done some extreme things for so many years, but she is by no means a coward.

It's just that nowadays, the number of ministers in the court is killing less and less, and he is getting older.

He was really anxious.

The emperor was bloodthirsty, and the ministers were not fools.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are participating in the imperial examinations, and many officials in the court have resigned due to illness.

He was really worried that after a hundred years, Xie Qingyun would have no confidants available to him.

Zhang Shuyue sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Old minister, please retire."

Before leaving, he thought for a while and said, "I heard that the vegetarian food in Cining Temple has the effect of clearing the heart and dispelling fire. If your majesty has time, you might as well ask the monks to cook it in the imperial dining room to try it."

Xie Qingyun is still angry at the moment, so don't overdo it.

Tiansheng smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is interested."

After Zhang Shuyue exited, Xie Qingyun finally turned around.

Looking at the dishes on the table, I can no longer feel the slightest bit of appetite.

It seems that the next summons to the Prime Minister will have to wait until after dinner.

Xie Qingyun said: "Please remove the breakfast."

Tiansheng should be.

Xie Qingyun added: "In the past two days, I have sent someone to send the Prime Minister some ginseng and bird's nests."

She was very angry with the Prime Minister today, but don't be angry. If no one works for her in the future, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Xie Qingyun rubbed her eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, do you want to call the Imperial Master?" Tian Sheng asked cautiously.

Xie Qingyun nodded, then shook her head: "Let's wait a moment, I still have some issues to deal with first."
