Text Praying mantis catching cicada and oriole behind

As expected by Qingzhu, the prime minister persuaded the frontier within a few days, and the frontier agreed to reconcile with our country. Although the frontier matter came to an end, the most troublesome thing for the prime minister was the Eight Sage Kings, who had to go to court every time.

Going against himself has led to serious divisions in the court and the formation of two-faced factions. This has only harm but no benefit to himself. I thought that the Eight Wise Kings would not interfere with the government affairs, so I never took him seriously. But now it seems that the Eight Wise Kings have already

Seriously threatening his own position and becoming a thorn in his side, the prime minister decided to find out why the Eight Wise Kings suddenly became concerned about government affairs and targeted him with the right medicine. He would rather have many friends than enemies. If the Eight Wise Kings don't

If you understand right and wrong, then you have no choice but to get rid of it and get over it.

Soon the prime minister got the news. It turned out that the Eight Wise Kings only started to target him after meeting Qing Huangfei. Presumably Qing Huangfei must have said something to the Eight Wise Kings, which made the Eight Wise Kings change so much.

The prime minister decided to meet the Qing Huangfei for a while to see what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Qingzhu was sitting in the imperial garden, sipping the fine Longjing tea. Qingzhu asked Xiaoyu, "Are everything done?"

Xiaoyu walked to Qingzhu and said softly, "It's done."

Qingzhu took a sip of tea and praised, "It is indeed a fine Longjing tea. The taste is different from ordinary tea. However, no matter how good the tea is, it is still tea. If no one tastes it, it is also waste. Are you right? Xiaoyu

?”

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "That's natural."

What Qingzhu asked Xiaoyu to do was to spread the news about his meeting with the Eight Wise Kings, in order to let the prime minister know to come to him, because he had already dug a trap waiting for him to jump. Qingzhu had just finished drinking the cup.

Tea, the Prime Minister is here.

"See Princess Qing," the Prime Minister said to Qingzhu.

Qingzhu pretended to be difficult and ignored the prime minister.

Seeing Qingzhu, the prime minister ignored him and continued, "See Princess Qing."

Qingzhu then asked slowly, "Who is coming to see me?"

When the prime minister saw that Qingzhu was worried about him, he felt a little unhappy. He was a prime minister after all. Since she didn't give him face like this, he had to salute her twice. No one except the emperor dared to do this to him. It was really

So arrogant. "I am the prime minister of the dynasty." The prime minister did not show weakness and said arrogantly.

Qingzhu asked, "Since you are the prime minister, why do you speak so arrogantly to me? Don't you call yourself a minister?"

The prime minister said arrogantly, "What's wrong with this?"

Qingzhu glanced at the prime minister and said contemptuously, "As the prime minister of the dynasty, isn't it ridiculous that he doesn't know the etiquette of the dynasty?"

The Prime Minister finally understood that the Qing Princess was deliberately making things difficult for him. He thought that the Qing Princess was just an ordinary weak woman with only beauty and no brains, but it seemed that she was not ordinary. He didn't even mind that he was a hand.

The Prime Minister, who held great power, wanted to celebrate the holidays with the Qing Huangfei. Perhaps the Qing Huangfei was a favored concubine, so her attitude, words and deeds were more self-righteous. The Prime Minister said to Qingzhu, "Should the minister and the imperial concubine celebrate the holidays together?"

Qingzhu asked, "Why did the prime minister say that? I don't understand very well?"

The prime minister looked around, looked around the imperial garden, saw the presence of Princess Qing and a palace maid, and said straight to the point, "Of course it refers to the Eight Wise Kings targeting the old minister."

Qingzhu knew what the prime minister was talking about but pretended not to know and said, "I don't know what the prime minister is talking about."

The prime minister said, "Didn't Princess Qing instruct the Eighth Prince to do it?"

Qingzhu smiled and said, "Haha, Prime Minister, are you kidding me? How could I instruct the Eight Wise Kings to target the Prime Minister? Do you have any evidence?"

The prime minister knew that Concubine Qing was asking questions knowingly, so he said, "Some people saw with their own eyes that Concubine you summoned the Eight Wise Kings, and right after you summoned the Eight Wise Kings, the Eight Wise Kings began to target the old ministers everywhere. Concubine Qing, don't talk about yourself."

Not aware?"

Qingzhu asked, "So what?"

When the prime minister saw what Qingzhu said, he thought that Princess Qing must be using this method to win over him, so as to help her ascend to the position of queen. Isn't this the purpose of usually interfering with political affairs in the harem? So the prime minister wanted to talk to Qingzhu.

Condition: "I know the purpose of Concubine Qing. As long as Concubine Qing does not let the Eight Wise Kings oppose me again, I am willing to help Concubine Qing."

Qingzhu knew that the Prime Minister was a person who regarded power as everything. He was such a person and would definitely treat others as he thought. Qingzhu took advantage of the situation and said, "Since the Prime Minister said so, I will obey the Prime Minister's words."

Please rest assured that the Eight Wise Kings will never go against the Prime Minister again."

The prime minister smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess Qing."

Seeing that the prime minister had slowly taken the bait, Qingzhu said, "Don't just thank me, Xiaolan is also here."

The prime minister looked at Qingzhu doubtfully.

Qingzhu smiled and said, "Haha, do you think Xiaolan can leave the palace to report to the Prime Minister without my help?"

This time, the prime minister understood the meaning of Concubine Qing's words, and smiled and said, "It turns out that Concubine Qing is the master behind the scenes who helps the old minister."

At first, Qingzhu only guessed that Xiaolan told the prime minister why Concubine Bai was thrown into the cold palace. In the end, he guessed it right. From the beginning, he felt that it was too strange that Concubine Bai used a trick to frame him. Bai

The imperial concubine is also a smart person. She will definitely not frame herself by eating arsenic in such an obvious way. Anyone with some brains can see her plan. The drunkard's intention is not to drink. She is using this plan to anger the emperor and make him angry.

The emperor put her in the cold palace and sent Xiaolan to find the prime minister. The prime minister had always been responsible for diplomatic affairs and was very fond of power. If Princess Bai became the queen, then he would have another backer, which would definitely be beneficial to him.

, so soon the news of Concubine Bai being sent to the cold palace reached the frontier, so that the frontier could force the emperor to appoint Concubine Bai as the queen on the grounds that the emperor failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband to Concubine Bai. This plan was really clever.

, women, that's it, if they don't get love, they will want power. Only when she becomes a queen can she use power to suppress herself, and the biggest flaw in her plan is the reason, a person who allows the frontier to seek justice for her.

The reason is that there are regulations in the palace that all men except eunuchs are not allowed to enter the palace without the emperor's permission. The fear is that the emperor's concubines will use this to expand their own strength and form gangs, and they will have affairs with officials to make a living.

He wanted to raise his status to a higher level on the grounds of dragon species. Since the prime minister cannot easily enter the palace, where did the news come from? Bribing palace maids and eunuchs? This is unlikely. It is normal for concubines to be relegated to the cold palace.

Well, why would the prime minister care about such a thing? And the only reason is that someone told the prime minister, and this person must be very close to the white princess and loyal to the white princess. That person is only Xiaolan, and the white princess was thrown into the cold palace.

Xiaolan happened not to be at the scene at the time, which proves that Xiaolan had already known that Princess Bai would be thrown into the cold palace, so that day when everyone was focusing all their attention on Princess Bai being thrown into the cold palace, she ran away

After leaving the palace, he conveyed the news to the prime minister.

Qingzhu said, "Does the Prime Minister know that the secrets in the palace must not be leaked?"

The prime minister was puzzled, "I don't know what the imperial concubine means?"

Qingzhu said, "Of course it was Xiaolan who came out of the palace to tell the prime minister about the princess."

The prime minister was even more confused: "Isn't this what Princess Qing asked Xiaolan to come out of the palace to tell the old minister about Princess Bai?"

Qingzhu laughed and said, "Are you kidding? How could I help Princess Bai become the queen? I wouldn't be so stupid as to let Princess Bai ride on my head? Are you right, Prime Minister?"

Only then did the prime minister realize that he had fallen into the trap, and he stamped his feet in anger. It seemed that he had underestimated the Qing Princess.

Qingzhu gave Xiaoyu a look, and Xiaoyu immediately understood and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Qingzhu. Qingzhu took the paper and said to the Prime Minister, "Prime Minister, now you have only two choices. The first is to mark this piece of paper. This is

What is written on the paper is the whole process of you colluding with the frontier and conspiring with the White Princess to make the White Princess the queen. If you hand over the military power at the court tomorrow morning after signing the bond, I will pretend that nothing happened.

, The second is to accuse you of colluding with the frontier fortress, this alone will kill all nine of your tribes."

The prime minister looked at Qingzhu's triumphant look and was very angry. This was not a sign, and it would be even worse if he did not sign it. He and his family could not even save their lives. The prime minister glared at Qingzhu with burning eyes, but it was too late.

I have yet to give Qingzhu a happy answer.

Qingzhu had long seen the concerns in the Prime Minister's heart and said, "Prime Minister, please be rest assured. As long as you pledge, I will never leak the contents of this paper. If I don't do this, you will regret it."

what to do?"

The prime minister hesitated for a long time, but finally gave in and had no choice but to make a mark on the paper, and then walked away angrily.

After the prime minister left, the emperor came out from behind a tree and said with a smile, "Haha, my beloved concubine's strategy really impressed me."

Qingzhu handed the Prime Minister's paper to the Emperor and asked, "Since we can take back the Prime Minister's military power, why do we need the Prime Minister to write on this paper?"

The emperor held Qingzhu in his arms and said, "In the future, my beloved concubine will understand my good intentions."

The prime minister has a great influence on the court. If the prime minister is killed, those officials who are afraid of the prime minister will be ready to take action. Later, they will be out of control. Naturally, the emperor's throne will be affected, so he can only retain it for the time being.

Only the prime minister can suppress those officials, and this piece of paper with the prime minister's handprint is prepared for Qingzhu. The emperor wants to make Qingzhu the queen. Only with the support of the prime minister, can Qingzhu become the queen naturally. As the saying goes, the mantis

When chasing cicadas, the oriole is behind. In fact, the emperor already knew what Concubine Bai was thinking when she was sent to the cold palace, so he did not convict Xiaolan for a long time, allowing Xiaolan to be free in and outside the palace.

Free access. When the prime minister talked about the border fortress that day, the emperor deliberately pretended to be very concerned about the border fortress in front of Qingzhu, in order to let Qingzhu pay attention to the frontier fortress and intervene in political affairs. Unexpectedly, Qingzhu was as smart as the emperor thought.

Qingzhu soon realized that the incident at the frontier was related to Concubine Bai, and began to investigate. The emperor had two purposes for this. The first was to ask the prime minister to leave criminal evidence in custody, so as to help Qingzhu become the queen. The second was to

Let the prime minister be wary of Qingzhu. Princess Qingzhu is not that easy to bully. His old brain is definitely no match for Qingzhu. He is afraid of Qingzhu. Naturally, he will not dare to go against Qingzhu in whatever he does in the future. Become the queen for Qingzhu in advance.
