The first thousand four hundred and forty-eight chapters
Wu Meiniang had a hint of resentment in her tone, as if she was fighting. Li Zhi naturally didn't take it seriously and laughed.
But Wu Meiniang said very seriously: "Your Majesty, why are you laughing at?"
Li Zhi looked at him in surprise. Could it be that he was not joking and making me happy. "You are the queen, how can you go? Even if I agree, those ministers will not agree."
Because the system stipulates that the queen cannot interfere in politics, in fact, it cannot even read the memorials. This is a violation of the system. It is just because Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang have a political alliance. Basically, Li Zhi did not deliberately conceal Wu Meiniang from all over the country, and sometimes even took the initiative to discuss with Wu Meiniang. But no matter how it can be said, Wu Meiniang just hides in the harem and looks at the memorials, but the ministers don’t know, and there is no evidence to know. But if you go out, talk about political affairs with those ministers, and clearly interferes with politics, then how can you do it?
Wu Meiniang snorted softly, "I know they will be very angry when they see me, so I want to go. I just make them angry. Why are you just allowed to make your Majesty angry? I will not allow me to seek justice for my husband. These ministers, as well as some of the solemn and majestic ministers, have the things that the shrew on the street talked about, and they actually reported to Liangyi Hall. Since that's the case, I, the woman, will tell them."
After these words, it seemed like they were fighting.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and thought it was quite reasonable. These things had nothing to do with national affairs. When he heard this, he had a headache. On the contrary, it was a national affairs. He was very dedicated to dealing with them. Moreover, Wu Meiniang represented him. Although it was not allowed in the system, it was very suitable in terms of the situation. Because this matter was not suitable, it contained disputes between the party and the class. Wei Siqian was originally a very suitable candidate, but the Wei family and the Pei family were relatives, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others definitely did not agree. Wu Meiniang was his wife and the queen. No matter what, the name was absolutely neutral, but the system was always not allowed, and he said: "It's not that you can't go. I'm afraid that you will go, and it will be even more embarrassing."
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "There must be many difficulties in this matter, but I don't. I came forward because they made Your Majesty angry and made Your Majesty feel bad. I am not afraid of them. Moreover, I am a woman, and this national affairs may not be handled, but this kind of thing is most suitable for women to deal with. Although human life is at stake, if it is a trivial matter compared to the entire country, if Your Majesty handed over this matter to me, I will definitely handle the matter properly."
Seeing that Wu Meiniang was full of confidence, and he really didn't want to deal with such party struggles anymore, Li Zhi felt disgusted in his heart. He pondered slightly and said, "Okay, I will let you deal with this matter."
He asked Wu Meiniang to go, and there was also a fighting spirit in it. The Northwest Plan and the Tuyuhun Plan did not see you so active. The active one was also aimed at Han Yi. But once you hurt your own interests, the memorial would fly to me like snowflakes. The behavior of these ministers is no different from that of women. They are petty and flaws will be reported. So let the women talk to you.
"I obey the order!"
A ray of light flashed through Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes.
This is Wu Meiniang. She is able to capture opportunities that benefit her in the ever-changing situation. Originally, this situation was very unfavorable to her, and it might even be a big crisis. Because looking at the development of the situation, if the situation continues to make a fuss, Li Yi Mansion will most likely step down because the emperor is not happy. If Li Yi Mansion stepped down, it would definitely cut off her arm. Now that she is not yet full, she will break her arm first. This will be a big blow to her.
And in this fleeting moment, she directly took the dominance in her hands. This was actually her most powerful method, and she was too good at capturing opportunities.
However, she had to pass the ministers' qualifiers first.
The next day!
The Lady of Wei State.
"Xu Jingzong has met his wife."
Xu Jingzong came to the wife of Wei early, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Brother Xian is Li Zhongshu?" Yang asked with a smile.
Xu Jingzong nodded. He was usually the middleman when something happened to Li Yi’s mansion. Now Li Yi’s mansion is in trouble. If he wants to come, he will probably affect Wu Meiniang.
Yang said: "My brother Xian went to tell Li Zhongshu that what he wanted to do now is to protect himself first and not give others any opportunity. As for his son, son-in-law, and the queen have their own plans. If he can't even protect himself, then there is no way to talk about anything else."
Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiao Mansion.
"That's probably what happened, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this, but my father-in-law, please rest assured that Feng Feilou is the victim of this matter and will not involve me."
Han Yi came to Xiao’s house early in the morning and told Xiao Rui and Xiao Wuyi about the whole matter so that they could feel at ease.
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I also know that you are innocent in this matter, but Pingkangli is not a good place after all. It is a place that specializes in right and wrong. Now that you have a noble status, I think you should try not to go there in the future."
"Dad, you can't say that!" Xiao Wuyi suddenly said: "My daughter believes that since Feng Feilou is the victim, then the husband should seek justice for Feng Feilou instead of escaping. Although Pei Qingfeng is dead, Gu Qingcheng is not less harm than Pei Qingfeng. We cannot ignore the harm she has suffered just because Gu Qingcheng is a woman, and even blame her for the fault."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Rui stared at his eyes and said, "Do you know that this matter has already hit the court, and it is big or small. As Han Yi's wife, you should think about Han Yi, how can you still fan the flames?"
"But my daughter is also a woman. It is not wrong for her daughter to speak fairly for women in the world." Xiao Wuyi said aggrievedly.
"you--!"
"Father-in-law, please calm down!" Han Yi hurried out to smooth things over and said, "In fact, Wuyi's words make sense. If they want to push all the mistakes down on Gu Qingcheng, I will naturally not agree, otherwise others would think I'm easy to bully."
Xiao Rui frowned and said, "If you continue like this, you will spoil her."
Han Yi smiled and nodded, "Please rest assured, father-in-law, I will teach her a good lesson."
But there was no point in his eyes to blame. In fact, he didn't think he was spoiling Xiao Wuyi, because Xiao Wuyi was a very principled woman. From the first day he got to know her, it was this kind of nature. It was unreasonable to pursue it now. In fact, this is also the characteristic of their nobles. You must know that Xiao Wuyi was quite unhappy before, but once it was involved in the rights and interests of women, she would stand on the side of the woman without hesitation. It has always been like this, but Xiao Wuyi was not reckless. She just expressed her opinions and occasionally used some harmless tricks, so that she would not force Han Yi to stand up for Gu Qingcheng.
Therefore, Han Yi just looked at her with appreciation. He felt that everyone should have their own principles, which is very important, so he would not be angry with her.
Just then, a servant walked in and said, "Master, son-in-law, someone is coming from the palace."
Xiao Rui immediately looked at Han Yi, who smiled and nodded.
That night, a group of important officials gathered in Liangyi Hall, and everyone knew that the case of Li Yang's murder was definitely discussed tonight.
When everyone came to Liangyi Hall, the emperor was still in the future, but no one spoke. It was not the same as before. If the emperor did not come, everyone would discuss it first, because there was nothing to discuss about this matter, it was just a quarrel. It was meaningless to argue by yourself. You had to wait for the emperor to make a decision. Why not wait for the emperor to come before arguing?
But after a long time, I didn't see the emperor coming. Everyone wondered, the emperor was too punctual, and it was almost half an hour.
Another stick of incense passed, Du Zhenglun was very impatient and was about to call the eunuch to take a look when he suddenly heard a shout, "The queen is here!"
Everyone was confused and asked each other with their eyes, did I hear it wrong?
But when they saw each other's eyes, they knew that they had heard nothing wrong, that was Zhang Desheng's call was wrong.
Wei Siqian frowned and said, "How can this young prison make such a mistake?"
"Zhang Shaojian did not call him wrong!"
I could only hear a majestic sound behind the screen.
Then Wu Meiniang walked in and saw her wearing a golden crown and a purple golden phoenix dress, with a serious expression and majestic look.
"See the Queen!"
After amazement, the ministers quickly saluted.
"No gift!"
Wu Meiniang said lightly and went straight from the middle to the steps and sat on Li Zhi's seat.
The ministers were all stunned. Including Li Yi's Mansion, there was something that had never been seen or heard of, and no one should know what to do.
"Sit down!"
Wu Meiniang said lightly.
Who dares to sit here? You, a queen, ran to Liangyi Hall to meet the ministers. What are you doing? If I sit down, I will become a traitor.
Du Zhenglun asked carefully: "I dare to ask the queen, what is your Majesty--!"
He didn't dare to say everything.
Wu Meiniang said: "Actually, I summoned you today, mainly for the case of Ci'en Temple. Oh, Your Majesty has handed this case over to me to deal with it."
As soon as this was said, all the ministers in the hall were shocked. Li Ji, who had always been calm, was stunned, but he also seemed more energetic, at least not drowsy. He originally planned that, and he did not want to participate in such a thing because he thought he was a soldier, and the duty of a soldier was to fight.
If you really follow the court system, just by Wu Meiniang's words, you can blame you.
"The Queen is serious?"
Wei Siqian stood up, gaze and questioned.
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I dare not fake the imperial edict in this Liangyi Hall."
Wei Siqian snorted coldly and asked, "Does the Queen even know the etiquette system in the palace? The inner court is determined not to interfere in the matter of the outer court. Even if His Majesty nodded, the Queen should have refused sternly at that time and corrected the faults made by His Majesty. This is what the virtuous queen does. Now, please leave here quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for impeachment of the queen."
Wu Meiniang had never dealt with Wei Siqian, but after hearing his name, she was indeed as fierce as the rumor, and she was obviously scolded for being a virtuous queen.
Du Zhenglun also said: "The empress is coming to the Liangyi Hall, and the old minister has no power to stop him. However, if the empress wants to discuss national affairs with the old minister, the old minister will be reluctant to obey his orders."
Xu Jun and Lu Chengqing also stood up and protested. They were all from Confucianism. The empress interfered in politics and violated the etiquette system, which was unacceptable. Moreover, they were all from gentry. They had strong principles. Of course, they were not as strong as Wei Siqian. They still used Confucian etiquette to explain things. Since ancient times, this woman has basically had a big trouble in politics. As the queen, how could you sit in the Liangyi Hall to talk to the ministers?
Although Han Yi, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu have not yet awakened, they are the Wu faction and do not say that they stand up and oppose it. But they don’t know what to do. Even if they want to support Wu Meiniang, they don’t know what to say. No saint told them that women should interfere in politics, and they all remain silent.
Wu Meiniang was very calm and sat on it, listening to their preaching.
Wei Siqian and the others said it very well, but Wu Meiniang didn't speak, which was meaningless. This was not stand-up crosstalk, so they stopped and looked at Wu Meiniang, at least you would give me a word.
Wu Meiniang finally spoke, "Shu Lu, my Tang Dynasty administration is clear and the law is perfect. There should be no murder case in the whole country, right?"
Lu Chengqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should answer.
Wu Meiniang said, "I, the queen, care about the people of the world. Is this also wrong? Or do you, the Minister of Justice, don't even know this?"
Lu Chengqing thought about it and felt that it was not an exaggeration to ask the prison and care about the people. So he said, "Report to the Queen, although our dynasty has clear and clear administration and perfect laws, there are still some cases involving six killings every year, but our dynasty has much fewer than in previous dynasties."
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I thought it was the first time since the founding of the country that the civilian affairs of Ci'en Temple had been safe, which led to the reaction of the ministers in the court so fiercely, as if the day was about to collapse. The memorial about this case was sent to the Liangyi Hall all night long." Speaking of this, she suddenly picked up the memorial on the table and threw it down.
