All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 307
At this moment, Ling Xiao supported his forehead, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his temples.

Li Dequan next to him tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, what's the matter today? In the past, An Lushan made a mistake, and His Majesty didn't spoil him like this. Now, His Majesty seems to be a different person."

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Li Dequan felt that it was necessary for him to remind Ling Xiao.

This An Lushan is not a favorite, why should he be the deputy general?

Although Ling Xiao didn't open his eyes, he said slowly at this moment.

"Because this An Lushan is the best candidate for this lieutenant general!"

"..."

Li Dequan was still a little puzzled, he didn't know why Ling Xiao was so absolute.

And at this moment, the little eunuch who was waiting at the door came to Ling Xiao with a bent body.

"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Wu Guifei is here."

When Ling Xiao heard this, he regained his energy in an instant, and then said to him, "Show her in."

At this time, Li Dequan also retreated tactfully.

After a while, Wu Zhao came to the inner room with a food box.

"Concubine, see Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhao is wearing a light blue long dress today, which looks a bit elegant, but it is more dewy.

"My concubine, please get up!"

Wu Zhao got up and opened the food box and said to Ling Xiao: "Your Majesty, I actually brought your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which was made by my sisters, and I asked me to bring it to you."

When Ling Xiao heard this, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.

At this time, he took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Wu Zhao's hand and slowly tasted it.

In the next second, he smiled and said, "That's right, it's really what I like to eat."

"Your Majesty, my sisters have been getting bigger recently, so I can't come to Zichen Palace, so why don't you visit my sisters more often, Your Majesty."

"Zhao'er, you will consider them. Now that you are temporarily taking care of the whole harem, I think it is really good. You have done it better than Nanfeng."

After Wu Zhao heard this, he knelt on the ground the next second.

"Your Majesty, please don't say this in the future. I can't covet this elder sister's queen position. Now in the harem, the sisters are no longer fighting each other. I'm afraid that this kind of situation is what your Majesty and I would like to see." , so I don't want to provoke people's tongue."

After a pause, she then spoke again.

"Although the matter of taking care of the harem falls to me now, it is only temporary after all. Once my sister successfully gives birth to the prince, I should not take care of these matters."

When Ling Xiao heard this, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Zhao'er, I really didn't expect you to have no ambition at all."

I saw Wu Zhao said seriously at this time: "Your Majesty, don't tease me. I came to the palace only because I admire Your Majesty. As for the rest, I naturally don't want to force it. As for the queen, there is no concubine. Interest, although it is high and powerful, but after all, it is the mother of a country, and the mother of the world, I think the empress has done a good job."

Ling Xiao looked at Wu Zhao, feeling that her eyes were clear at this moment, and what she said was absolutely from the heart.

"Since you can think so, the king is naturally pleased, but Zhao'er, how did you handle the matter I entrusted to you before?"

Speaking of this, Wu Zhao suddenly remembered.

She looked at Ling Xiao seriously and said, "Your Majesty, you know that there are too many things involved behind this incident. How many people were involved in the disaster relief in Sanhe County at once? They all relied on their wealth and power. Don't take the common people seriously."

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao also knew what Wu Zhao wanted to say, so Ling Xiao said at this time.

"Now we want to eradicate these colluding dog officials. If we have them, it will be like a rat droppings spoiling a pot of porridge, and the atmosphere in the court will naturally be even worse."

Wu Zhao was relieved when he heard this. After all, these are all His Majesty's subjects, if it is not His Majesty's intention now.

It's not good for her as a noble concubine to interfere in this matter, but now that His Majesty has spoken to this point, she can no longer save face for these officials.

"There seems to be something wrong with the servants in the court. They collude with each other on weekdays. I heard that they hugged each other to keep warm in the court hall. So, do you want your majesty to..."

Before Wu Zhao finished speaking, Ling Xiao said, "Sure enough, they are the same breed. I have long since discovered that something is wrong with these people secretly. The grand master reminded me in the open and in the dark before, and I must be talking about these people."

Ling Xiao is very clear now, maybe he had no plans or actions before that.

But this time he went to Sanhe County to experience disaster relief. When he saw so many people in dire straits, the government officials he personally appointed did not take any solutions for the people. Just thinking about it, he felt that angry.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the grand master also hinted at you?"

"That's right, now that these people are colluding secretly, some people in the court have been dissatisfied with them for a long time, and even the Grand Master has begun to hate these people, so we have to catch them all now, and there can't be such an atmosphere in this palace anymore .”

Ling Xiao had made up his mind this time, after all, he didn't know that there were corrupt officials in those small places until he went to Liuzhou this time.

In fact, the biggest source is still above the court, these dog officials cover each other, and even spend money to bribe underground officials.

That's why they are allowed to be rampant in the local area, taking the people to the knife, and even searching for the people's anointing and fat, making the people's livelihood difficult.

"But let's put it aside these days."

Ling Xiao suddenly remembered that there is still one thing that needs to be resolved quickly.

And Wu Zhao was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, since we want to catch them all now, we have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise these people will become more and more rampant, and we will have nothing to do with them."

"Let Feng first explore the situation first, and then make plans, but this time I won't let them just do things like this."

Hearing what Ling Xiao said, Wu Zhao felt relieved, although she said that it was inconvenient for her to intervene in the affairs of the court in the harem.

But this time I went to the people with His Majesty, and only then did I know the sufferings of the people.

Even though she is a woman, she is eager to do something for the common people.

So she must have decided to punish the evil and promote the good.

……

After An Lushan returned to his room, he felt a little depressed by himself, looking at the general robe in his hand, he was full of thoughts for a while.

Suddenly remembered that day Ling Xiao suddenly released him from the cell, and he uttered nonsense in front of everyone.

But Ling Xiao didn't want his life, and he never figured it out.
