Chapter 182
After hearing the words of Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites, Wu Meiniang frowned and said:
"This palace took over the government, and it was His Majesty who said it himself. Now that His Majesty is not in the palace, are you going to go against His Majesty's wishes?"

The Minister of Rites smiled slightly and said:

"After all, this is the rule of the past dynasties, besides, His Majesty has not shown himself for such a long time.

Therefore, this time is different from the past, and we courtiers have to think about it, and I ask the empress to think twice! "

The Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials spoke one after another: "Please, empress, think twice..."

Wu Meiniang's face was ugly:
"What if I don't hand over the power of the government?"

"Then, we have no choice but to unite with all the officials to make a collective decision on this matter. At that time, I'm afraid, it will not be the empress who can make the decision." Minister of the Ministry of Officials said.

Wu Mei's girlish face was slightly pale.

Outside the window, Li Ke watched this scene indifferently.

Although Wu Meiniang was powerful in history, she had matured a lot at that time.

But at this moment, Wu Meiniang was just a young girl, so it was really good to be able to hold on to this seat for so long.

These ministers probably only dared to do this because they saw her as a young girl.

"Empress Empress, I have summoned a group of ministers for my empress, and they have probably arrived at the main hall. Your Majesty has been missing for so long, and the court has divided into several factions.

In any case, this situation is not something a woman can control.Everyone is waiting for the empress to go and discuss how the court will be stable! "

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials opened his mouth and said seriously.

Wu Meiniang had a sullen face. Right now, there are three factions in the court.

One side believed that Li Ke was dead, and the other side did not support Wu Meiniang in power, and secretly proposed to establish a new emperor.

One mission thinks that Li Ke is not dead and keeps it as it is.

One side vacillates, depending on the situation.

In this situation, if Li Ke does not appear again, Wu Meiniang will not be able to withstand it sooner or later.

Now, being forced by these officials, she had to go to the main hall to face all the officials.

Thinking of this, although Wu Meiniang was helpless, she had to get up and said coldly:
"Well, I want to see what you guys really want."

After saying that, he followed the three officials out of the imperial study and headed for the main hall.

Looking out the window again, Li Ke sneered, then turned around and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Along the way, the maids and guards who saw Li Ke were very shocked and happy.

After all, Li Ke is the backbone of the Dragon Kingdom. Recently, Li Ke is not in the Dragon Kingdom, and various rumors are spreading, which makes many people feel uneasy.

Now that Li Ke reappeared, everyone was naturally relieved.

After Li Ke returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he asked the maid to put on a dragon robe for himself.

Then headed towards the hall!

At this moment, all civil and military officials have arrived in the main hall.

This court meeting was initiated by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the others.

Everyone is discussing topics, nothing more than news about Li Ke and the future of Longguo and so on.

Among them, there are some voices who are subtly emphasizing or reminding everyone about Lixin Emperor.

While they were discussing, the three ministers also came back and stood among the officials.

Then Wu Meiniang appeared above the main hall, walked to the dragon seat and sat down.

The officials stopped talking one after another, and all looked at Wu Meiniang.

Nearly half of the officials saluted Wu Meiniang.

Among these officials, almost all are generals, and there are very few civilian officials.

"Empress Empress, all the ministers are here today, I would like to ask Empress Empress where is Your Majesty!"

Minister of the Ministry of Officials, ask questions knowingly!
Before Wu Meiniang could answer, General Zhao Yang said:
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Your Majesty always likes to travel outside the palace and observe the people's sentiments, but he hasn't come back for a while, why are you so anxious?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials sneered and said:

"Are you just traveling outside the palace? It's been more than three months, why haven't you come back? Besides, the Wuji Kingdom is already gathering troops to attack the Dragon Kingdom.

Things have developed to this point, and His Majesty has not yet shown up. Is it really not in a hurry, or is something really happened to His Majesty? "

Zhao Yang's face darkened and said:

"What do you mean, something happened to His Majesty? As we all know, His Majesty's military strength and literary spirit are both very powerful. If the two are integrated into one body, there is probably no one in the world who can surpass him.

So, as a general who knows martial arts, I can tell you with certainty that with His Majesty's strength, it is absolutely impossible for anything to happen.

As for you, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you actually gave such a guess in such a presumptuous manner.Could it be that there are some unknown thoughts in my heart?Or, do you want to be rebellious? "

As soon as these words came out, many generals nodded in agreement.

After all, as a general, he is very aware of Li Ke's strength.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials heard the words and said:
"In that case, tell me, where is His Majesty?"

Zhao Yang was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know where Li Ke was.

Seeing that Zhao Yang was speechless, Minister of the Ministry of Officials sneered and continued:
"Let's not talk about whether His Majesty is still alive. Today we will ask you a question first. Who should preside over and make decisions about this government?
Could it be that the empress has been allowed to handle these important national affairs?Wouldn't it be contrary to the fact that the harem of all dynasties should not interfere in politics? "

As soon as these words came out, many civil servants nodded.

Especially the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, they all strongly support the statement of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

In short, I just don't want Wu Meiniang to control the government.

Of course, whether they did this out of their insistence on the concept that the harem should not control the government, or something else, they knew in their hearts.

Wu Meiniang's face was a bit gloomy, and she said:
"I would like to know, if I am not allowed to preside over the government affairs, then everyone, is there any better candidate? Who is the minister of the auxiliary country you are talking about?"

The Minister of Rites smiled and said:
"I think that in today's court, Li Shoufu is a bit old, and he hasn't come to the court today.

Except for Li Shoufu, we were among the people present.I think the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the most suitable minister of the auxiliary country.I don't know colleagues, do you agree? "

Before waiting for the surrounding officials to say anything, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials hastily put on a humble look and said:
"Hey, how can I do it? I'm just a minister of the Ministry of Rites. If I want to control the government and assist the country for Your Majesty, I still lack qualifications and strength."

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said: "Be humble, be humble, you are the most suitable candidate.

After all, I have been an official for so many years, and I have done a lot of government affairs.You always have to know how to make decisions better than women. "

As the three of them said this, some civil officials in the rear also spoke up one after another, expressing their support for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to be the Minister of Fuguo.

Above, Wu Meiniang's expression was very ugly, she seemed to be unable to bear it, and said:

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, don't think that I don't know. I have also received news that you are secretly colluding with some remnants of the previous dynasty.

What, you want to be Minister of Fuguo?It's not that you want to support a new emperor who you can control so that he can ascend the throne. "

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned: "Your Majesty's words are a bit of a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's belly. If your Majesty thinks that a humble minister is not qualified to be a minister of the country, then your Majesty can choose someone else!"

Wu Meiniang didn't know how to refute this remark.

At this moment, a coercive voice sounded from the side of the hall:

"Zhen, I think that you are very suitable to be the Minister of Fuguo!"
