thank you + extra

There were ready-made brushes and ink on the desk. Sun Ciqing took a piece of silk, wrote a few strokes, printed them, dried them, and handed them over to his eldest son.The above book is to lobby the king of Jiyang to raise troops.

"King Jiyang's fiefdom has been cut, and he has been dissatisfied with the emperor for a long time. With this letter from me, even if he is afraid of the emperor's power, he will not come forward to report me." Sun Ciqing explained.The emperor suppressed the princes too hard, and all the clans complained, but they didn't dare to speak out. If they found a gap, they would definitely not show mercy.

Sun Shi took the silk book, lowered his eyelids, looked at the silk cloth, and said tremblingly: "This is to kill the king..."

"It's just killing a single husband and a traitor, so why kill the king?" Sun Ciqing didn't take it seriously. "If she wants to become queen, she will lose the popular support and be reviled by all the people. The one who raises her arms and shouts at that time will be what the people want."

If the King of Jiyang cannot succeed, there are King Liang, King Jichuan, King Changping... There are nearly a hundred kings in the world. .

Sun Shi was speechless.

"You go there personally, and take a look at King Jiyang's tone by the way."

Sun Shi took the order, and before he left, he asked a little puzzledly: "Why did Your Majesty do this to cut her off from the people and the world. Prime Minister Xie has always been virtuous, why didn't you dissuade her?"

It has been a habit for over ten years, even if Xie Yi is not the Prime Minister now, when a humble person mentions her, he is still used to addressing her as Prime Minister.

The combination of yin and yang has existed since ancient times, and has never been changed.It is the right way to marry a man and a woman to reproduce offspring. If the emperor does not follow the right way, there will naturally be people who oppose her.All the ministers thought that this matter could not be resolved, and although His Majesty was determined, in the end, they could only take a step back as they did when they discussed the posthumous title for Prince Li.Since it can't be done, why would His Majesty do it, why didn't Xie Yi stop it.

This question is not only shared by Sun Shi, but also by civil and military officials in the entire dynasty.Although Li Wen was on the emperor's side, he didn't understand, let alone agree.

Xie Yi is already a prime minister, and holds real power, there is no seal, no entry, why bother to fight for the title of empress, and she can't have a son to be a prince, not even an ordinary empress.Emperor Wen favored Deng Tong, and Emperor Wu favored Han Yan. The Liu family has always had this habit.However, no matter how much Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu favored male favorites, he had no intention of giving them titles. After all, they were just playthings.Therefore, although the two emperors have minor flaws, their wisdom will not be damaged.

Your Majesty and Xie Xiangruo do not compete for this position, they are secretly together, even if people find out, they will only talk and sneer in private, who dares to say more in the open?When it was mentioned in later generations, it was mostly regarded as a minor detail, without detriment to great virtue.Wouldn't it be much better than making the court restless like this now?

All the ministers were puzzled.

Liu Zao insisted on fighting for fame, but what he was afraid of was this kind of flirtatious "wisdom without loss".If she didn't argue, in the eyes of the world, Xie Yi would be no different from those male pets, and it would only be a "plaything" when mentioned.

She can't stand it.

Sun Ciqing almost broke his face with her, and he will not let it go.Liu Zao made people stare at his house, but she expected Sun Ciqing to be bold, but she didn't expect him to be so bold as to play tricks on Min Xin.

There are also many available people in the General's Mansion, and there are hundreds of people who come and go every day.Although Liu Zao made people stare at him, he couldn't catch everyone who came in and out.Inadvertently, he overlooked an aide and made him sneak out of the city to fan the flames.

Three days later, Huben Zhonglang, who is guarding the gate, will rush into the palace.

Liu Zao was reading the memorabilia, the memorabilia of the past few days had both inside and out, and they were all overtly and secretly persuading her to rein in the precipice, and some bold ministers even tore down the curtain, directly accusing Xie Yi of "confusing the king".

Seeing that General Zhonglang was bewildered, his expression was irritable.Liu Zao knew something was going on, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

General Zhonglang knelt down, at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Thousands of people outside the city are petitioning, begging His Majesty to kill... Thank you for killing, thank you..."

Liu Zao jumped at the table: "Who started it?"

"He's from a village, and his clothes are plain, so he should be a farmer." Zhonglang Jiang replied.

Liu Zao closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and asked again: "Why?"

A petition by thousands of people is no trivial matter.How could the common people have the leisure to meddle in the affairs of the court, once they do, it must have aroused public resentment.Zhonglang had already found out clearly before the future, so he said carefully at this time: "A farmer outside Beijing gave birth to two sons. There are rumors that the king has no way, and reverses yin and yang. It is a sin of heaven, so he brought disaster on his people."

Reversing yin and yang... Liu Zao read it silently.

She works hard, governs for the people, and has never treated the people badly since she took office.Although there were thoughts of being desperate, Xie Yi dissuaded her in the end.Even after she became a queen, she deliberately avoided the farming season, lest the ministers focus all their energy on the affairs of the queen and neglect government affairs.

She asked herself that there was nothing wrong with Wan Min, but Wan Min repaid her in this way.

"Call all the ministers to discuss the matter." Liu Zao said.

General Zhonglang looked at several eunuchs coming out of the palace together, he hesitated and said: "When I came, the number of people petitioning has increased dramatically. It will probably reach ten thousand people in less than a day. I implore Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."

What the people are most afraid of is disasters from the heavens. Strange things like the birth of a second child can confuse people's hearts and cause panic. If a decision is not made early, once the matter ferments and spreads to the county, more and more people will inevitably respond. .If someone with a heart takes advantage of the hearts of the people, this matter will not be as simple as a petition.

General Zhong Lang was obviously inclined to dispose of Xie Yi in order to silence the public, but he dared not speak too clearly.

A killing intent lingered in Liu Zao's heart, she endured it, waved her hand and said, "Qing, go back and guard the city gate."

Naturally, such a big event cannot be kept secret, and the ministers have already heard about it, so it came very quickly.The most important thing right now is to appease the people and disperse the petitioners.But how to appease and how to disperse are matters.

Liu Zao has been patient since he got the news.She put one hand on the saber, looked at the officials, and finally set her eyes on Sun Ciqing.Sun Ciqing lowered his head, appearing to be submissive.

Liu Zao's anger was like a raging fire, unstoppable, she forced herself to look away, and said to all the ministers: "Who can relieve this worry for me."

The ministers talked about it in a hurry. Some people thought that they should conform to the people's will, but it was wrong to be a queen.There are also those who think that they cannot back down. Once they back down, the majesty of the court will be lost. They should be severely punished in name of petition, but in fact they are intimidating the people of the court.

But even the minister who thought he couldn't give in, said: "After taking down the troublesome people, His Majesty will deal with Xie Yi, otherwise if you take down Wanmin, there will be Wanmin. The trend of petitions will never stop."

All the ministers were unanimous in the matter of setting up the empress, even Xie Dang stopped speaking, just kept silent, and even the ministers who had always been attached to Liu Zao lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Before the hearts of the people, who can not be afraid.

Liu Zao suddenly felt sorrowful, and she was about to speak when Han Ping came out, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please welcome and thank me into the palace, for Jieyu."

In the early Han Dynasty, wives in the Han Palace were called queens, and concubines were called wives.There are eight queens, wives, beauties, beauties, eight sons, seven sons, long envoys, and young envoys.

During the time of Emperor Wu, Jieyu was first set up, second only to the queen, regarded as the prime minister, and compared to the princes and kings.

To welcome Xie Yi as Jieyu is to take a step back from the emperor and all the officials.Wanmin also had an intercourse.No matter how respected Jieyu is, she is only a concubine, so the meaning is quite different.

The people also know how to advance and retreat, and they will accept it when they meet.

This move can be described as drastic.All the officials looked at the emperor to see what she had to say.

Chapter 126

Sun Ciqing didn't open his mouth either. At this juncture, what happens next depends on the emperor, and it makes no difference whether he says something or not.

If the emperor is still clear-headed, he should know that this is the best result, not only to save Xie Yi, but also to get rid of all the people.If she still insists on going her own way, Sun Ciqing will be even happier. In this way, not only the people will be dissatisfied, but even the ministers will be estranged from her, thinking that the king is absurd and cannot be supplemented.

Han Ping was still kneeling on the ground, Liu Zao looked gloomy and didn't say a word.The ministers didn't understand why the emperor was still hesitating. Although they didn't dare to speak, they were not so serious and exchanged glances with each other secretly.

It can't be delayed any longer, as more and more people gather, it becomes more and more uncontrollable.

Li Wen stepped forward, knelt down beside Han Ping, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please welcome and thank you into the palace, for Jieyu!"

Liu Zao clenched her fists tightly, the veins on the back of her hands burst out, she felt that everyone in this world was bullying her, and no one could tolerate her.Her eyes were red, and her teeth were almost gnawed.

She thought of the seven or eight fish that Xie Xiang gave her a few days ago, and when they met before Xie Xiang went to Penglai Island, she jokingly said: "I don't know who I am, so I depend entirely on Your Majesty."

She knew that this sentence was just Xie Xiang seeing her nervous and saying it to make her happy, but when she thought of it now, Liu Zao felt like her heart was being torn apart.

For someone as proud as Xie Xiang to ask her to be a concubine, Liu Zao just thought about it, and felt that he was guilty of an unforgivable crime.

"Your Majesty!" Another minister spoke, still persuading her to agree.

One after another, most of the hall knelt down, and this time it was reversed. It was not Sun Ciqing and his party who oppressed her, but the ministers who vassalized her and the silent Xie party.
