Chapter 557 Rumors
Ouyang Shu said: "Prime Minister, don't worry. The old man was very shocked when he heard this, but you have to know the ins and outs of the matter. This rumor cannot be said by the Prime Minister to be a rumor. You have to convince everyone. If the Prime Minister My lord firmly insists that this is a rumor, so please provide conclusive evidence so that I can rest assured."

Gong Lixi's face was gloomy: "What does Lord Ouyang mean? Could it be that Lord Ouyang believes such nonsense? So he came to the court to accuse me?"

Ouyang Shu smiled: "I don't dare, but as a member of Yueli, I naturally do my best for the country and the people. Since there are such words spread among the common people, as a minister, it is okay to doubt it." Yes. After all, things involving Yueli's country and country should not be underestimated."

He Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Let's not matter whether this matter is true or not, even if it is true, the empress was still young at that time, and she had not yet married the first emperor. Such trivial matters are personal matters. Is it inappropriate to talk about the country and the country?"

Ouyang Shu paused, turned around, and looked at He Yu with a half-smile.

"Master He, you are quite right. This should be the Empress's private matter. I shouldn't ask about it, but I haven't finished my words yet."

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd again, and said with a smile, "The most interesting part of this joke is not the first half, but the second half."

"When the first emperor was alive, he never mentioned the will of any ministers. After his death, a will suddenly appeared. This is a bit strange, and the last time the emperor stayed with the queen, what happened in it? , No one knows. The late emperor is weak due to years of illness, even if the queen wants to do something with the jade seal, the former emperor must be powerless even if she wants to stop it."

Gong Lixi stood up suddenly, stared at Ouyang Shu fiercely, and said angrily: "Presumptuous!!! What do you mean? You want to slander me and forge a will?! It's nonsense!"

"This is not what I said, but what the people said. I just took it as a joke and told the empress and His Highness the crown prince."

"Such absurd words are really ridiculous! The will was tested by all the ministers. Why didn't Master Ouyang raise his opinion when it was announced that day? Afterwards, he used this absurd language to taint people's eyes and ears. What's the intention?!"

Gong Lixi was really very angry, if it was because of the bearing of a queen, she would have dragged Ouyang Shu out and beheaded on the spot!

Zhou An stood in front of Ouyang Shu, and said with a smile: "Master Ouyang really cares about the suffering of the people. He specially went to the market to observe the people's conditions, and even picked out some things that were not there. It's really amazing. He is good for the country and the people!"

Ouyang Shu raised his eyebrows, and was not frightened by Zhou An's anger: "Sir Zhou, please stop talking, who doesn't know that the empress is your granddaughter, and the prime minister is the empress's biological father, no matter the truth or not, , of course you all choose to ignore the truth, after all, His Highness the Crown Prince is still young, if he ascends the throne in the future, your support will be indispensable."

These words were very vicious, and the meaning was obvious, and he bit back openly and secretly.

The ministers began to whisper among themselves.

Ouyang Shu glanced at the queen who was looking at her coldly, and said something again: "The so-called will also specified that King Qi should be the regent, which is even more suspicious. Talented and outstanding among others, how can you deliberately let King Qi be the regent and not consider other princes? I really have to wonder, is this the intention of the former emperor, or... the empress's intention?"
