This Body is Cheap

"This physique is cheap to sell (

It's not that the empress dowager didn't think about using her own means to govern the government, and when her grandson officially took power, she would return him to a peaceful and prosperous age.

But as the saying goes, dreams are beautiful, and reality is cruel.

She simply can't control the situation.

Poor political means, this is her biggest flaw.

What is used is that those who obey me prosper and those who oppose me perish, a rather unpretentious method.

But she still feels good about herself.

I feel like I did nothing wrong.

And the result was not what she expected, and the court was in collapse.

If this situation continues.

It is estimated that in the future, her records in the history books will inevitably fall to the reputation of a demon queen.

And she has no soldiers in her hands, and she can't deal with foreign aggression.

The news I received every day was that the rebels of King Bei Yu had occupied a city today, a town tomorrow, and a state the day after.

Either the general died today and the marshal surrendered tomorrow.

By the way, how many troops surrendered.

The internal and external affairs have already overwhelmed the empress dowager.

...

At this moment, Ji Wulian and Tie Yihou were drinking.

"The old lady in the palace recently issued a decree to increase the business tax on every merchant." Tie Yi Hou said.

Ji Wulian didn't go to court at all on weekdays, and Pingbai wore the name of a national teacher. In fact, he had no powers and never really performed the functions of a national teacher.

"The way of death." Ji Wulian said indifferently.

It is a well-known fact that the court is short of money these days.

But raising the commercial tax is digging the roots.

Who is behind the merchants, most of them are gentry nobles.

Will the gentry and nobles be willing to take out the money in their pockets?

In a peaceful and prosperous world, such decrees must be handled with care.

Now that the building is about to collapse, this kind of decree will only make the gentry and aristocrats fall to the King of Bei Yu faster.

But for the current Queen Mother.

This is poison, if you eat it you will die, if you don't eat it you will die.

This may be the so-called drinking poison to quench thirst.

And the hall is even weirder.

The quarrels in the courtroom in the past were routine events.

But since knowing that the army of King Beiyu is approaching the imperial city.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

It seems that all but the empress dowager have given up their resistance.

Even the Queen Mother felt this strange silence.

Today's imperial court is really unable to issue the imperial decree.

The empress dowager hugged the little emperor and cried every day, grieving and complaining about herself.

He complained about his husband and his son.

Just when Tie Yi Hou and Ji Wulian were drinking.

Director Wei came to the door, and Ji Wulian immediately hid.

They are now in Tie Yi Hou's mansion.

On the bright side, Ji Wulian and Tie Yihou were at odds.

"General Zhou, the Empress Dowager has ordered you to enter the palace."

Tie Yihou's original surname was Zhou, and Tie Yihou was his name in the rivers and lakes.

"It's over now, is it inappropriate to enter the palace at this time?"

"General Zhou, don't worry too much. You are deeply trusted by the Empress Dowager. There are a few red tapes, so don't worry about them."

Tie Yi Hou was a little puzzled. Looking for him to enter the palace in the middle of the night, is it really lonely and unbearable?

He followed Director Wei into the palace until he arrived at the West Palace.

Here are all the residences of the emperor's women.

Either a concubine or a princess.

Of course, because the filial son did not reign for a long time.

So there are not many concubines.

Before coming to the empress dowager's palace, Director Wei gave a brief introduction.

After a while, Tie Yi Hou was declared into the house.

"Wei Chen, see the empress."

"Aiqing is free."

The Empress Dowager is actually only fifty years old.

But in less than half a year, he was exhausted and looked like he was ten years older.

At this moment, the empress dowager looked sad and miserable.

"Aiqing, what are your thoughts on this now?"

"The minister is deeply favored by the emperor. As long as the empress and your majesty give an order, the minister will go through fire and water, and will not hesitate."

"You have this heart, and Aijia is very pleased, so do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Tie Yi Hou could only kneel on the ground with his face close to the ground: "Wei Chen is incompetent, please forgive me."

Not to mention that the general situation of King Bei Yu is now set, even if the 100,000 forbidden troops in his hand are all magical, it is impossible to retreat from the enemy.

Even if he really has the ability to retreat from the enemy, he will never do so.

After all, the one behind King Bei Yu is the one.

This is not an existence he can fight against.

Tie Yi Hou would rather face a million soldiers than face that godlike figure.

"Hey... that's all, I can't blame you for this."

Although Tie Yi Hou wears the name of a general.

He's actually a security captain.

And less than half a year in office.

Marching and fighting have nothing to do with him.

Now that the imperial court is in crisis, it has nothing to do with him.

"Now that the imperial court is in danger, what do you think about the imperial court moving the capital?"

"Niangniang, this matter should be decided by the ministers, and the ministers are light-hearted and dare not speak rashly."

"Now all the ministers in the court are like tortoises with their heads shrinking, asking them about politics, they just push and drag, just waiting for the traitor to invade the imperial city, and they want to take refuge in the traitor collectively~www.readwn.com ~The chaotic ministers and thieves, a group of chaotic ministers and thieves!!"

The empress dowager came to Tie Yihou this time, not because she trusted Tie Yihou.

Purely because Tie Yi Hou is keeping himself safe.

Xun Gui, the minister in the court, was looking for a way to get in touch with King Yu of Bei.

Only Tie Yi Hou was on duty every day and did not interact with others.

The Empress Dowager felt that Tie Yi Hou was honest and honest.

And he is also the one who controls the safety of the imperial city, holding 100,000 forbidden troops.

At a time like this, nothing is worth as much as having soldiers in hand.

Hou Tie Yi didn't understand why the Empress Dowager came to him.

Is it to let yourself lead the army to fight?

But even though he has 100,000 forbidden troops in his hand.

But in reality there are no more than 10,000 people.

Because the vast majority of the forbidden army are the children of nobles.

Before he took over the ban, only 10% of the 100,000 horses' salaries were actually paid.

And hardly ever practiced.

Even if the empress dowager does not know the actual situation of the forbidden army.

Shouldn't it be such an unrealistic fantasy?

If the empress dowager really wanted to lead her own troops to die, then she could only directly lead the troops to surrender to King Bei Yu.

Tie Yi Hou felt that he knew Ji Wulian and even Xiao Wan.

No matter how bad it is, he can still get a half-official position with King Bei Yu.

The Empress Dowager stared at Tie Yi Hou for a long time, and then she said, "Ai Jia hopes you can leave some blood for the royal family."

Tie Yi Hou stared at the empress dowager with wide eyes, what does it mean?

"If the traitor enters the capital, then the royal family will be slaughtered. Ai's family is already old, and life and death are at stake, but the grandson of the Ai's family is still young, and the Ai's family wants General Zhou to protect them and send them out of the imperial city."

Tie Yi Hou was silent for a long time, he was shocked.

Empress Dowager is sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, right?
