Chapter 214 Confronting the Queen Mother
"Where did the Qing family say this?"

Ye Chuan paused and said: "Huo Guang was entrusted by his infancy, and he was entrusted by the Han Dynasty. Kuang the country, An Sheji, Yong Zhao, and Li Xuan, even though Duke Zhou and Ah Heng did this! However, Guang died only three years ago. Yi. My minister's loyalty to the first emperor and His Majesty is a lesson from heaven and earth, but the people around him may not be able to strictly discipline themselves and abide by the laws of the country. As soon as the emperor's edict was announced to the public, a letter from an old clan sent to the mansion of the minister , Begging for a noble or an official, you are not hiding it! I am a humble minister who was born in the army, but I also know that the selection of officials is a major matter for the country, how can I make a decision based on personal considerations!"

"Young Marquis can refuse."

"Wei Chen did reject them one by one, but because of this, Wei Chen has a deeper worry. Since ancient times, foxes pretend to be powerful, and the ones who wrote the letters are indeed the elders of Wei Chen. If there is a junior from the Ye family who wants to be an official, don't hold grudges. , use my name to go around, bully men and women, and cause blood debts, but it is another big crime!"

Ye Chuan said bluntly, everyone knew that he was just a side branch of the Ye clan. Although he was famous now, he was never taken seriously by the Ye clan.If some scum of the Ye family used his name to do evil things, I am afraid that the elders of the clan will not only not restrain them, but may even add fuel to the flames.

"Shaohou's words are wrong. Gou benefits the community and lives and dies. Could it be that Shaohou will also watch the young emperor be deceived by treacherous officials and lose power in order to protect himself?"

"A minister is not someone who seeks good fortune and avoids evil. If a minister with power dares to deceive the emperor, the humble minister will definitely launch an army to attack. But right now, but—"

"Why does Shaohou bother to talk about him? Recently... the hearts of the people in the imperial city are very fluctuating. For some things, the Queen Mother's words are not effective, and it is not as effective as the words of Mrs. Shaohou."

Pei Ling'er spoke bluntly, and Li Ci hurriedly knelt down and said, "The concubine is terrified, and the concubine only sees the glory of the queen mother shining on every corner of the imperial city..."

"Your flattery is too crude."

Pei Ling'er spoke unhappily. She pulled out the thousand-branched ten thousand-leaf pearl hairpin bestowed by Empress Wu, rubbed the head of the pearl hairpin on her face, and said, "What the late emperor left for us orphans and widowed mothers is an iron bucket, with peaceful internal affairs and subdued foreign enemies. The Turkic people in the Central Plains for thousands of years have been completely defeated, and there will be no more powerful enemies spying on the Central Plains in the short term. This picturesque country is actually handed over to the hands of infant children... You uncles are mature, if you give birth to something that you shouldn't have The heart is also normal."

But this normality is enough to drag the whole country into the flames of war.

Li Ci slandered, showing a guarded look.

However, the silence didn't last. In order to force the couple to say rude words, Pei Ling'er took the initiative to mention King Zhao, King Yue and King Wei!

"Perhaps... we orphans and widows should obey our fate and move out of the imperial city. But in Shaohou's mind, among the three emperor uncles, who is more suitable to be the new emperor."

There was cold sweat on Ye Chuan's forehead, and uneasiness crawled all over his body in an instant. Li Ci lowered his head and secretly grabbed Ye Chuan's hand.

They didn't know how to answer, as long as there was a slight flaw in this question, it might lead to death.

"...The late emperor handed over the country to the young emperor, and the humble minister is not talented. He should continue the oath made by the late emperor before his spirit and contribute his own strength to the country. Swear allegiance to your majesty to the death, and only your majesty will follow."

He said loudly, and his smooth and sharp answer was the most appropriate answer they could think of at the moment.

"People in the world say that Shaohou is not good at words. When I saw him today, it really is... just looking at the surface of things."

Pei Ling'er smiled. Her smile was very kind and can be called a model, but in the eyes of Ye Chuan and his wife, it could only arouse the association of a poisonous snake crawling across the back.Although they still have full confidence in the road ahead, they have to cheer up in the current chaotic situation.

Pei Linger is an ignorant and vicious woman, her arrogance and narrow-mindedness made them worry.

If she was a little sensible, she should know that she must try her best to maintain the three-legged situation, instigate Wei Wang and Ye Chuan to fight against each other, and when both losers, she will hold the young emperor to make a profit.But she didn't have this basic foresight. She was blinded by long-standing hatred, and she ignorantly thought that King Wei had a bad reputation.

So she is not worthy of being a queen mother, she is narrow-minded, unable to distinguish between the overall situation and the severity of personal hatred.She insisted on listing the Ye family as targets for eradication simply because she held a grudge against Queen Ye and Fu Lici.

"What kind of person do you think Empress Ye is?"

"If my sister was born as a man, she would definitely achieve amazing feats. It's a pity—"

"If Empress Ye can give birth to a prince, can the imperial power still fall into the hands of this palace?"

"This, this... is limited to a hypothetical situation, and Shu Weichen cannot answer."

After thinking for a while, Ye Chuan answered carefully.

Pei Ling'er then sighed, and said: "If Queen Ye can give birth to a prince... that would be a good thing. At least, with Queen Ye being as powerful, no one in the court would dare to spy on the power and bully the young emperor. If there is no accident, it must be The Empress Dowager is in charge of the imperial court, and the young emperor will return to power when he is an adult, so they complement each other, and the world praises it. It's a pity...the destiny..."

Speaking of this, Pei Ling'er was once again in tears.

Because they didn't know what she meant by suddenly mentioning Ye Wurong, Ye Chuan and his wife could only keep silent.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Pei didn't expect them to respond, she sighed again after wiping away her tears.

"But even if the road ahead is bumpy and difficult, if you are not careful, you will be doomed. The emperor and I have no way out. For the sake of this supreme throne, we have to fight! Whoever wants to covet the throne will have to Step over my dead body!"

She looked at Ye Chuan and his wife resolutely, as if they were her sworn enemies, and also as if seeking their help.

A black lightning bolt flashed across Ye Chuan's heart, he quickly lowered his head, and half knelt together with his wife, saying: "This humble minister (concubine) should do his best and die!"

"I hope that you and your wife can carry out today's oath."

The Empress Dowager Pei spoke with tears in her eyes, put the pearl hairpin in her palm back into her hair, and sighed: "If I really doubt the Ye family, I will not take the daughter of the Ye family as my queen."

"The queen mother is very favored, and the ministers will remember it in their hearts."

"I don't need to remember, I just want Mrs. Shaohou to tell me clearly, how many people in this palace obey your orders?"

Depend on!
It seemed that Pei Ling'er was determined to catch their fault, and it turned out that the scene of the monarch and his ministers cherishing each other was just a general!
Fortunately, Li Ci's thoughts have never been infected by "learn the arts and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family". Although what Pei Linger said before was touching, she has always maintained a faint sobriety. The ice cubes slid down the esophagus, which was indescribably horrifying.

"...When Empress Ye was alive, the concubines went in and out of the palace many times, and it was inevitable that they would get closer to those old people. I don't want to cause such rumors."

She spoke calmly, her tone indifferent, but her hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling uncontrollably.

Every word spoken at this moment may lead to countless deaths.

"It's my fault. Mrs. Shaohou was originally a nobleman of the royal family, and she married an uncle of the country. Her relationship with the queen is unusual. It is normal to go in and out of the palace. Even the first emperor trusted his wife far more than the women in the harem. It's just a relationship with the palace. The middle-aged and old people are closer, but it’s nothing. It’s just that His Majesty has returned home, and the harem should have a new look. These old people... those who are over forty years old should go to the imperial mausoleum to pray for His Majesty. Those The young one... was sent back to his hometown, and the local officials settled him properly."

"The empress dowager is merciful."

Li Ci said with a smirk, it was kindness to be able to deal with it like this.But she also knew that there must be some women who were close to her who died of illness on the way back to their hometown or on the way to guard the spirit!

Fortunately, the harem itself is a big dye vat. Even if the blood is completely changed, the new atmosphere will soon be infected by poisonous gas and become a new darkness.

What's more, Li Ci's main source of information in the harem has nothing to do with Queen Ye.

It's just that she still has to express the helplessness and sadness of a strong man cutting off his wrist, using heavy pain to cover up the real chess piece.

Pei Ling'er satisfactorily enjoyed her sense of loss, and left Ye Chuan and his wife to exchange pleasantries. While they were still in friendship, she suddenly inserted a few words of unappetizing temptation. After the scene just now, their hearts were already as rock-solid as ever. No matter how she induced her, how she suddenly interrupted them, they all said some boring loyalty and flattery with a calm expression, which made Pei Linger feel boring, and finally, seeing the dark sky, she let them out of the palace.

……

……

"How could my daughter let them go away like this!"

Pei Hou patted the table angrily, Pei Ling'er glanced at him unhappily, and said: "The couple acted cautiously, and there was nothing wrong with what they said, how can you make me use it! Besides, there are a group of old antiques sitting behind the curtain, I am If you want to play tricks, you have to consider the next occasion."

"I was negligent. I cared about righteousness, but I forgot that righteousness may also become a rope that binds my own people."

Pei Hou sighed, but Pei Linger didn't take it seriously: "It's not that there is no gain at all, at least I know that Ye Chuan acts cautiously and takes the overall situation into consideration. For the glory of the Ye family, he will temporarily restrain himself. By the way, the one sent by King Wei Tianzhu Dancer, I don't like it when I look at it, you can get rid of her."

"Yes."

Thinking of the dancing girl with a soft body, Pei Hou happily agreed, but because of distracted thoughts, when he came back to his senses, he found that Pei Ling'er was already ten steps away, and quickly caught up, whispering: "Actually...we can give the woman to Ye Chuan To instigate Ye Chuan and his wife to discord. Ye Chuan's power today is inseparable from the support of the eldest princess mother and daughter. As long as...hehe..."

Thinking about extravagance, Pei Hou showed a smile that men could understand. Pei Ling'er frowned when she heard the evil words, but after a short thought, she was enlightened and her face beamed with joy.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it! There is no cat in the world who doesn't steal, let alone Ye Chuan's status. He married a wife who is too capable, probably... But we have to do things better, not only to send women For Ye Chuan... I have to prepare a few handsome and talented people to resign for Fu Li. Don't they have a deep affection as husband and wife? If they both commit infidelity to each other, I don't know what kind of ugly appearance it will be!"

"Yes, yes, Empress Dowager...Empress Dowager Shengming!"

Shocked by his daughter's absurd idea, Pei Hou flattered him dryly, but Pei Ling'er became more and more complacent, and laughed loudly: "As long as my emperor can secure the throne, no matter what kind of person he is, he can use it!"

She said arrogantly, this arrogance obviously learned from the late emperor, but she learned the domineering tone of the late emperor, but she failed to learn even a ten-thousandth of his ability to control the court.

On the contrary, Pei Hou fell into deep thought because of this disorder.

He, who is also a man, can probably figure out what kind of woman a noble man likes.But what kind of face women would like, he is... just imagining it feels disgusting.
