The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 549
In the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Li was already kneeling in front of the Buddha statue.

Concubine Duan, like a servant, lit the incense for Mrs. Li, and handed it to her.

"If you have something to do to me, don't hurt the innocent!" Concubine Duan said calmly.

There was so much commotion outside, it was impossible for her not to hear it.

Holding incense in both hands, Mrs. Li prostrated to the Buddha statue and said, "Are you begging me?"

"I always thought that for a snake-hearted person like you, other people's lives are worthless to you!"

While speaking, Mrs. Li bowed down three times, and then Concubine Duan took the incense from her hand, and finally found it in the incense burner on the altar.

Concubine Duan said: "If you want revenge, you can come to me directly... to bully some slaves, but don't insult the sageness of your empress dowager!"

Getting up from the futon, Li sneered and said, "You said it lightly, do you think I don't want to kill you?"

"If the emperor hadn't protected you, I would have let you die unexpectedly!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li walked up to Concubine Duan, stared into her eyes and said, "You are lucky, the two emperors will protect you for the rest of your life!"

"For you, the first emperor deliberately shot at the Buddhist hall in the imperial mausoleum, what is it called Changshouzhai..."

Speaking of this, I saw Mrs. Li grabbing Concubine Duan's neckline and angrily said: "I am the queen, and I should be the one who guards with the late emperor!"

As a queen, she has lived a miserable life all her life. She was ashamed as Concubine Duan was as beautiful as she was before.

Although she was grabbed by the neckline, Concubine Duan didn't take it seriously and said: "You have become the Empress Dowager, and you will be buried with the Emperor's Mausoleum. Naturally, you will stay with the late Emperor!"

Slowly letting go, Li Shi said, "It's only natural...you still lost to me in the end!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you die quickly, I will slowly deal with you in the future, so that you can't live without dying!"

In this room, Mrs. Li uttered her truest thoughts, which was something that the empress dowager should not have said.

"Now, let's start with the servants outside!"

Concubine Duan had an angry look on her face, but she restrained her emotions. Right now, she can't confront Li Shi head-on.

Seeing Concubine Duan's aggrieved look, Li's heart was already full of joy, which made her feel extremely happy.

…………

In the afternoon, in Tao Yangbo's mansion, in the inner house, in the study.

"Li Shi went to the imperial mausoleum today!" Cao Liu said worriedly.

Sitting on the chair, Cao Jiasheng's face was solemn.

"She still doesn't dare to do anything to Miaoyin!"

In the end, Cao Jiasheng came to such a judgment.

"On the court, the officials who originally supported the empress have been wiped out... After cutting the branches, shouldn't the next step be to dig out the roots?"

Hearing his wife's words, Cao Jiasheng shook his head and said, "But you forgot about the emperor, the emperor will not let them dig up the roots!"

"Why? Just because the empress is kind to him?" Cao Liu didn't quite agree with her husband's judgment.

"Of course not, apart from this kindness, the emperor needs balance in court!"

Cao Jiasheng stood up and said: "Don't look at how many people have been dismissed, but the emperor has also saved a group of people, such as the ones who were selected by the emperor... as grandsons!"

"Isn't it because he is thinking of kindness?" Cao Liu was a little puzzled.

Cao Jiasheng looked thoughtfully and said, "I guess... the emperor wants to use these people!"

"What do you mean?"

Cao Jiasheng explained: "The emperor's new succession, even if there are people from the East Palace, but the foundation is still too shallow, and now the two parties of Wang and Xie are suppressing political opponents, this is exactly his opportunity to show grace!"

"Don't look at the decapitation and beheading of many people this time, but if you think about it carefully... more beheaded or dismissed? Is there anyone still in the position?"

Naturally, more people were dismissed from office, and those who were beheaded were only those who had committed the most crimes and had the most corrupt reputations.

But Cao Liu didn't quite agree with the second half of the sentence.

"Those who are still in place, maybe they will be cleaned up next!"

Cao Jiasheng picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "The news just came back, the cabinet minister Lu Chaowen told the old man, the emperor has already agreed!"

"This is also equivalent to saying that this turmoil is over!"

Cao Liushi nodded, if Lu Chaowen retired, it would be true that the situation subsides.

"Can we live in peace?"

Cao Jiasheng said helplessly: "For us, it's just a temporary relief, and the days ahead will be difficult!"

"It's not easy... Since you started this road, when will your life be better?"

Speaking of this, Cao Liu's heart became angry, and she continued to say: "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have entered your Cao family's door!"

Walking to his wife's side, Cao Jiasheng said with a smile, "People say, marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog, I've wronged you!"

Cao Liushi is definitely not an ordinary woman. Being able to participate in these major events naturally has a different pattern, so she can adjust her mentality.

Seeing his wife's mood improved, Cao Jiasheng explained: "Don't forget, King Yong is strong in Longyou, and we still have a chance to come back!"

"Longyou is thousands of miles away from the capital, when he calls back, we don't know whether he is dead or alive!"

What Cao Liu said was the truth, they could not only place their hopes on Zhao Yanxun, and Cao Jiasheng had been thinking about countermeasures for this.

"So we have to find a way to send Yunhui and the others away first, and even if we can't send them away... we must hide them!"

The goals of Cao Jiasheng and his wife are too big. It is definitely unrealistic for them to escape, but they can send their children away.

"Yeah!" Cao Liushi nodded and said, "It's time to make preparations!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"Who?"

"Father, it's me!"

"Come in!"

With a "creak", the door of the study was opened, and Cao Yunhui walked in from the outside.

"what's up?"

Cao Yunhui replied: "Father, there is news from the imperial tomb!"

Mrs. Li went to the imperial mausoleum in the morning, and now there is news from there that something might happen.

In order to quietly send people to the Imperial Mausoleum, Cao Jiasheng put in a lot of effort. He has already stuffed ten people into the Mausoleum Guard, all of whom were sent by Zhao Yanxun from Longyou.

However, he did not directly participate in the Cypriots, but relied on his relationship to create a false identity, allowing these guards to mix himself into the mausoleum guards by virtue of their own abilities.

"What news?" Cao Jiasheng asked.

"Your Majesty said that she wants to see Eunuch Liu!"

Nodding his head, Cao Jiasheng replied, "Okay, let's go out!"

"Yes!"

After Cao Yunhui withdrew, Cao Liu finally couldn't help but said: "What does your sister mean? She insists on seeing an eunuch, doesn't she believe us?"

At this moment, Cao Jiasheng also had an ugly expression.

It is obvious that the news can be passed on, so why do you have to tell Liu De in person, isn't this just that you don't trust his brother?
Although angry, Cao Jiasheng also knew that things might not be that simple, as her younger sister had always been very intelligent.

"This matter still needs to be arranged, but... it will take some time!" Cao Jiasheng said helplessly.

Right now, the Imperial Mausoleum is being watched closely, so it's obviously not a good time to send Liu De there.
