Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

As soon as he said this, Queqi's eyes narrowed and he put his hands on his waist.

Yang San's eyelids jumped suddenly. Oh my god, he was indeed coming for the Queen Mother. This Zhou Huaimin was really good at hiding himself.

Zhao Ping and Sun An said nothing, their eyes full of vigilance.

Ruan Qing seemed unusually calm.

She met Zhou Huaimin's gaze and asked, "How did you recognize my identity at first sight? Is there a spy among you?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you guess?" Zhou Huaimin's eyes swept over Queqi, Zhaoping, Yang San and Sun An respectively, and he said meaningfully.

"It seems that you are not absolutely sure of taking my life, otherwise you would not use such a low-level strategy to alienate me in front of me.

You should be from Daxi, right?" Ruan Qing sighed.

"So what? Does the Queen Mother want to promise me huge benefits and persuade me to switch sides?" Zhou Junmin's face darkened and a look of sarcasm appeared in his eyes.

He was very annoyed by Ruan Qing's calm and unflappable look.

The members of the Daxi royal family that he was familiar with were only arrogant and insolent when they were criticizing others.

Once they get into trouble, they will immediately become panic-stricken and behave in an ugly way. Why should she be an exception?

“I do have this idea, but it is probably going to be quite difficult.

I can see that you have great hostility and resentment towards the Daxi royal family. Is it because of your parents?

According to the information I have found, your parents were just a small wealthy family in a medium-sized county, and their death should have nothing to do with the royal family. "Ruan Qing nodded, then changed the subject and asked with some doubt.

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked, unless the emperor sitting on the throne is stupid and inhumane.

How dare the officials below collude with each other and act recklessly? Whenever they take a fancy to something or want to please someone, they can find any reason to kill someone's entire family.

Do you know how the people of Daxi have been oppressed over the past few decades? How many tragedies have been caused by those greedy and corrupt officials? Such a dynasty should have been destroyed long ago. "

When mentioning the Daxi royal family, Zhou Huaimin was no longer as calm as before, and strong hatred burst out in his eyes.

"If your parents were harmed by local officials on trumped-up charges, and you wanted to seek justice for them but had no way to sue, and you felt resentful towards the court, I can help you.

However, a country is so big that it is inevitable that there will be good and bad officials.

There are corrupt officials who are in office but do nothing and are greedy for money, but there are also good officials who are dedicated to serving the people.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, and just talk about the officials of this dynasty, the Minister of Revenue Cui Zhiqing, and the Minister of Justice Lin Haoming.

Whether they are local officials or central officials, they are dedicated to serving the people and the country.

If you intend to destroy Daxi just because you have been treated unfairly, it would be a bit extreme." Ruan Qing said.

“It’s true that you don’t feel pain unless you inflict it on yourself.

If you were faced with all the injustices in the world but had no way to appeal, could you still talk about it so lightly?

The founding monarch of your Xie royal family was a villain who did not keep his word. Now, a hundred years have passed, and not only has he not developed the slightest bearing of a king, but he has become more and more despicable.

As an emperor, he encouraged his sons to compete with the people for profit. When the treasury was short of money, he increased taxes without caring about the lives of the people.

If officials do not form cliques and collude with others, they will not be able to survive in the officialdom.

When people are wronged, they cannot even find basic channels for appeal.

As a result, when it comes to you, you want to brush it off lightly by saying that it is a bit extreme to hate the country and the court just because I have suffered injustice.

I heard that you were the Queen Mother who confiscated property, and you did a lot of things that benefited the people along the way. I thought you were a different Queen Mother from the Xie family.

I didn't expect that he was essentially the same as the Xie family, a hypocritical villain with a sanctimonious appearance. " Zhou Huaimin couldn't help cursing when he heard it.

"Sorry, I really thought it was simple." Ruan Qing was silent for a moment, then apologized.

Zhou Huaimin was stunned with anger. He didn't expect Ruan Qing to really apologize to him.

But before he could open his mouth, Ruan Qing continued: "As an emperor, if you cannot provide a country's people with adequate food and clothing, and cannot ensure the basic clean governance, it is a dereliction of duty in itself, and you have reason to complain.

However, the sins of the Xie royal family and the problems of the court should not be as serious as you say, otherwise Daxi would not have continued to this day, and there would not be so many people supporting this country.

What happened to you and your parents was caused by officials of this dynasty. The court should give you justice and apologize to you.

But if you completely deny this country and think it should perish, I don’t agree with you.

Although Daxi had many shortcomings, it was not time to destroy the country.

Regardless of whether Beiliang annexed Daxi or someone else took over the throne, the people would not necessarily live better than they do now.

On the contrary, maintaining the status quo is more likely to improve the situation.

After all, the current emperor has been working hard to govern the country since he ascended the throne.

As the empress dowager of a country, I left the capital in disguise in order to understand the real people's livelihood.

We are all doing our part to make this country a better place.”

"Does the Queen Mother think that just these words can make me change sides?

"Queen Mother, stop dreaming. Even with your eloquence, you will not be able to escape death today." Zhou Huaimin said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to take action.

Queqi, who was sitting opposite him, snorted coldly: "What a big tone."

As he spoke, he pressed his hand on his waist, and the soft sword made a slight sound and jumped out with a clang.

Then he leaped up and raised his hand, ready to chop Zhou Huaimin with a sword.

But as soon as he exerted his strength, he suddenly felt a severe dizziness in his head. His body, which had just risen halfway, fell back down, and his raised arm fell down weakly.

"If you hadn't come into this room and let me make this pot of tea, I probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to you.

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother is too arrogant. Even though she clearly doubted me, she still wanted to take the risk. "

Zhou Huaimin, who was about to take action, stopped after seeing Queqi's action and spoke with a bit of joking.

Yang San and Zhao Ping also noticed something wrong with their bodies. When they exerted a little force, they felt weak and sore all over.

"Mr. Zhou, don't rush to do anything. It's not too late to make a decision after I finish speaking. Although you hate the emperor and officials of Daxi, you care about the people of Daxi.

I have read all the poems you have written in Su Lin in the past few years. Every word reveals your compassion for the people and your desire for a bright and peaceful world.

You have ambitions, and you long for a wise ruler, virtuous ministers, well-fed people, a stable country, and a place for the weak to appeal when they are wronged.

In this prosperous era, if officials and powerful people break the law, they can be punished according to the law.

But such a prosperous era cannot be achieved by destroying Daxi.

Now, no matter who wants to destroy Da Xi, not only will it not bring prosperity, but once the war breaks out, countless lives will be destroyed.

As far as I know, the situation in Beiliang is not much better than that in Daxi.

In this case, why can't you give yourself and me a chance?

If you are willing to work for Daxi, you may have a chance to realize your dream." Ruan Qing said.

"If I work for Da Xi, the Queen Mother's words won't fool even ghosts, right?

My current behavior is regicide. Even if I am willing to serve you, would you dare to employ a regicide?" Zhou Huaimin sneered.

"Why not? You harbor resentment towards the royal family, not because of selfish desires, but because Daxi betrayed you first.

If I don't even have this kind of tolerance, how can I be qualified to talk about returning a prosperous era to the people of the world?" Ruan Qing raised his eyebrows.

"No matter how eloquent you are, I won't believe you. You superiors are all filthy at heart..."

Zhou Huaimin, who hated the Daxi court to the core, didn't want to listen anymore and raised his hand to grab Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing, who was so weak that he could barely even tie a chicken, suddenly took a few steps back with the chair. As he retreated, he raised his hand and threw a small black ball at Zhou Huaimin and another at the closed door.

Zhou Huaimin obviously knew the power of the little black ball, and immediately flew back, saying in a lost voice: "How come you are okay?"

Queqi and others were unable to move after smelling the tea, so why was Ruan Qing, who had no kung fu skills at all, not affected?

As soon as he finished speaking, the small black ball thrown at him fell to the ground but did not explode, but the small black ball that hit the door exploded with a bang.

Then the door was violently kicked open.

Zhou Huaimin's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he turned around and pounced towards Ruan Qing.

However, Jiang Yuan's speed was obviously faster than his. When his hand was about to fall on Ruan Qing, he rushed over and held him.

Jiang Yuan was born with supernatural powers, and his martial arts skills reached a state of perfection.

In close combat, there are not many people who can stop her.

The two sides fought for only a few rounds before Zhou Huaimin was kicked away by Jiang Yuan.

After Jiang Yuan kicked him away, he subconsciously rushed over and slapped him to death.

"Don't kill him." Ruan Qing's voice sounded at the right time.
