Chapter 161 What a reckless person

Imperial Palace, Cining Palace.

In the room, wisps of smoke drifted from the incense burner.

Behind the desk, a woman in palace attire sat quietly, it was Queen Mother Li.

In the hall, stood a man wearing a silver-white robe, with an unparalleled appearance and a touch of elegance between his eyebrows.

Xichang, Yuhuatian!

Just standing there quietly gives people an unparalleled intimidation.

After a long time, Queen Mother Li, who was sitting behind the desk, said softly: "Did that Qianhu, the Jin Yiwei guard, escape?"

Yuhuatian said respectfully: "We have left the capital."

Yuhuatian hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what you did last time was too risky."

"You shouldn't take risks easily."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Li slowly raised her head, looked out the window, and said with emotion: "Since the death of old Zhang Ge, this court has become less and less like a court."

"If Mr. Zhang Ge was still here, how could those individuals dare to take the lead?"

After saying that, she stood up and said slowly: "Now the court needs someone, someone who can restrain all the officials."

"They have lost their due respect for the imperial power."

"Dongchang is already very powerful. If it continues to develop, it will become a disaster in the future."

"Although the West Factory is weaker than the East Factory, your status is special and it is not easy to show up. Otherwise, the officials would be wary of you."

Xichang was originally led by eunuchs, which was quite objectionable to this group of literati.

It is a taboo for eunuchs to interfere in politics!

This will definitely be opposed by the entire world of gentry and literati.

It's a pity that the former Jin Yiwei was suppressed too hard and has lost his previous authority.

Queen Mother Li walked to the window and chuckled: "This new governor is a good candidate."

"What happened last time clearly shows his ability."

"In his body, for a moment, I actually saw the shadow of Mr. Zhang Ge."

Although that man was just a scholar, his wealth and intelligence were unparalleled in the world.

"Alas..." Queen Mother Li sighed softly.

She has also heard about politics, and she used to be obsessed with power, but now she only feels a headache when she hears about things outside the palace.

Unknowingly, she thought of what Mr. Zhang Ge said to her when he entered the palace for the last time.

"I want to re-implement Elder Zhang Ge's policy, so those noble families will be the biggest obstacle."

"But there are some things that cannot be done by the emperor."

"That's why I will acquiesce to those people's actions this time and let them surface on their own."

"It's time to clean up this court."

A trace of surprise flashed in Yuhuatian's eyes.

Even he found the Queen Mother's recent series of actions puzzling.

This person may not be the smartest person, but she once had the most profound person in the world.

When that person was there, there was only one voice in the entire court, instead of being filled with parties like now.

That night, the chief minister entered the palace secretly, and no one knew what they talked about.

Yuhuatian hesitated and said: "This person's actions are reckless and may lead to great chaos in the future."

Queen Mother Li glanced at him and said flatly: "But he has no foundation."

"In this court, the only one who can help him is the emperor."

"If someone must be the villain, let me be the villain."

Seeing this, Yuhuatian said no more.

It's just that he feels that this son does not seem to be a peaceful master.

Queen Mother Li looked out the window and remained silent for a long time.

In fact, what really made her change her mind was her brother's rebellion.

They are his brothers!

He is a relative of Ming Dynasty!

She gave them every honor.

But they still rebelled. If they succeed, where will they be?

Will they still respect themselves as the Queen Mother?

Obviously, they do not have their own kin in their hearts, otherwise they would not rebel.

Even his own brother is thinking of rebelling, so what should others do?

"You're right." She said silently in her heart, with a trace of reminiscence in her expression.

Once upon a time, when that old man entered the palace, they would all meet him.

It seems that with him around, nothing is a problem.

Empress Dowager Li said calmly: "When he returns to Beijing, give him Yu Yan."

…

Beijing, Dongcheng.

historian,

Shandong historians were already famous during the Yuan Dynasty.

However, their ancestors relied on surrendering to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to enjoy wealth and honor.

The historian family originated during the dispute between Song and Jin Dynasties and has been passed down to this day, with the family extending for hundreds of years.

The capital city can be regarded as a place of residence for historians, and their real roots have always been in Shandong.

In the huge courtyard, an old man in his late fifties was slowly practicing his kung fu.

Suddenly, a person rushed in and said in a panic: "Master, something happened."

Shi Zequan slowly opened his eyes and frowned, "What's the matter?"

The visitor took a deep breath and said quickly: "That Jinyi guard Qianhu Yanjue escaped from the city."

"Trash!" Shi Zequan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "What's going on?"

"With so many people, how could he still be allowed to escape?"

Shi Yujie's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Originally, we were almost chasing him, but a group of people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division suddenly broke in halfway and stopped us, and then we allowed him to escape."

Shi Zequan said angrily: "Why don't you send someone to chase him!"

"Yes!" Shi Yujie's face turned pale with fright, he nodded quickly, turned around and left quickly.

Suddenly, the sound of faint footsteps came, and then, a figure wearing official uniform came slowly.

"Brother, why worry, this matter is a foregone conclusion."

The person who came was wearing an official uniform, had two strands of white hair on the temples, had an elegant face, and exuded nobility.

Those who are able to enter the court and serve as officials, apart from their talent, are the best choice for their appearance.

The person who came was none other than Shi Zehuai, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Alas!" Shi Zequan shook his head and said, "I don't know whether this cooperation with Dongchang is a blessing or a curse. He is not a kind person."

Shi Zehuai smiled and said: "Brother, why should you worry? The Iron Mask Grand Master's matter is nothing more than giving him a reasonable charge."

"Someone in the palace leaked the news about this matter. The Queen Mother has long disliked him because of the matter involving the Li family. With the Queen Mother coming forward, Your Majesty will not be able to say anything."

"From now on, the court will still be the same court as before, and it won't change much."

"Even if that Jin Yiwei escaped, it was just to find Lin Mang, and he would not be able to avoid the crime of harboring."

Shi Zehuai sneered and said: "If he doesn't protect us, he will definitely lose his support, but if he dares to protect us, he will be guilty of harboring the crime."

"Although he is a Jinyiwei, Dongchang also has the power of supervision. When the time comes, it will be reasonable to say that he is colluding."

"Besides, the rebel was restrained by us, so we had no choice but to kill him obediently."

"He died at the hands of the rebels. What does it have to do with us? Even if he is lucky enough to survive, everything will be a foregone conclusion by then."

"It's just that the evidence currently collected by the Criminal Department is not perfect and it will take some time."

"It's strange that this son has offended too many people. Beizhen Fusi needs an obedient person. Besides, if we don't get rid of him now, the gold mountain discovered by our historian in Shandong will definitely not be mined."
