Chapter 501
The Empress Dowager didn't know anything about what happened outside the palace, she was just immersed in the joy of being praised by the ministers, she knew that it was best for the world to be controlled by her, and now she suddenly felt a little glad that she did not continue to keep the emperor's life, Otherwise, she has controlled the government for so many years, and she is still reluctant to give up suddenly.

The masters kept talking about the medicine of immortality every day, and what they said was so magical, even if it was just a simple medicinal material, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources, but the Queen Mother just believed it. There is no one around her to guide her in the maze, so she can only slowly fall into the traps designed by these masters, slowly sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself!
"Master, when will you be able to make the elixir for Aijia? Aijia can't wait any longer!" After the queen mother retired from the court, she went directly to the masters, her tone was urgent, and she said to Changsheng The desire to not grow old has become stronger and stronger, especially when she heard the ministers and the people praised her so much, she wanted to continue like this.

Now there is no emperor in the imperial court, and all affairs are handled by her alone. Although she has been betrayed by all relatives, she is not prepared to take care of other things. She only thinks that if she lives forever, she will be able to return to her youth. That period of time was her last It's time to miss.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, you don't need to be too anxious. The medicinal materials are not yet fully prepared, and the production of the elixir of life cannot be completed now. Not only can it not be completed, but the main medicinal materials will be wasted, so we can only continue to wait." The masters said The main leading task stood up first, looked at her seriously, and gestured for seriousness while speaking, and the ability to fool people is the same.

The queen mother believed it without considering any consequences, and in order to have more time for immortality, she chose to let her trusted ministers take charge of the government temporarily, and only told her about important things, so some small things would There is no need to inform her, she will only feel very impatient.

The ministers are of course very happy, now they can do whatever they want, and even if they accept bribes secretly, no one will know, but now they all know that the queen mother was fooled by a group of masters, and she almost lost the entire treasury It was all gone, but they were kept in the dark all the time, without the slightest vigilance. The treacherous ministers felt happy, while the loyal ministers felt chilling.

After the temporary change of the person in charge of the government, the imperial examinations were completely useless. Some people who really had national ambitions were excluded and completely dismissed. On the contrary, as long as they want to be officials, regardless of their education background , as long as you have enough money, you can easily get that position, and no one will tell you how you got it.

The ministers received money every day and received cramps in their hands. Even when they slept, they dreamed of a steady stream of money, and they woke up laughing at their dreams. The queen mother has the most trust, so what about the other ministers who still stick to justice?Naturally, they were quietly suppressing them!

Things in the imperial court were spread widely, and soon spread outside the palace. The common people are now scolding the imperial court constantly, and even started to rebel, but the Yamen did not accept it, and even said that those people chased the court. out.

"The morals of the world are really intolerable now. The imperial court doesn't care about things at all, and even a person who has no talent at all becomes an official. My poor daughter was snatched away by the second young master Wang and became a concubine. Wuwuwu, my poor daughter..." On the street, a middle-aged woman fell to the ground crying out of breath, attracting many people to watch.

The Second Young Master Wang she was talking about was actually a person with a defective IQ. He didn't have any talent at all, and it was fine if he was flawed. The problem was that this person was very lecherous. As long as she is pretty, she will be snatched away by him. If she resists, she will be beaten severely, or the families of those women will be used as threats.

Ever since the establishment of the school, Yunxi has been visiting those children whenever she has time, but when she was about to go back home, she heard such an infuriating thing. Needless to say, she knew what was going on, and a flash of After a moment of grief, she suddenly missed the days when the emperor was still there, at least not like now.

Sure enough, if a woman dominates the government, will there be such a situation of being used by others?What the queen mother has done is really too much, she is no longer what she was before, which makes the people feel very chilled, even she is completely chilled.

The current world is getting more and more chaotic, salt and rice are getting more and more expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them at all. Many people are complaining about the injustice of God, and at the same time hate the cruelty of the imperial court. They will only blindly squeeze their people. There is no human touch!
"Auntie, get up, the current imperial court has changed, so all we can do is wait for the opportunity, and one day everything will be fine!" Yun Xi walked up to the middle-aged woman who had been crying just now, and knelt down Helping her up, maybe her words were so touching, so the aunt just now didn't cry.

Some places really can't bear the heavy taxation, and they can't pay the tax at all, so they discussed together and launched a rebellion, and they all went to the court, just to get some justice, but the current government is in charge of the ministers Yes, how can someone who is greedy and lazy to manage things really solve such difficult things.

Therefore, the method chosen by the ministers is to send someone to negotiate with them, and propose a peaceful solution to the matter, and the purpose is to blind the eyes of the Queen Mother, so that she can continue to focus on immortality instead of re-controlling affairs of state!
Once the greed gradually expands, the ambition will also increase. These ministers are like this. When the local rebels see that they choose a peaceful solution, their demands are naturally higher. One of the people who led the rebellion went to the front and said : "As long as you are willing to cede some land to us, then we will stop making trouble!"

"Okay, that's it!" A representative of the ministers agreed without thinking about it. Maybe it was to solve the matter quickly, so he didn't think about the consequences at all.

Perhaps it was this time that it spread to other places, and they soon understood the psychology of these ministers who would cede the land.
