No second minister

It was originally to avoid becoming more persistent, but unexpectedly, this trick was self-defeating.

Xu Borong had no choice but to look around outside the stable before leaving.

It has been less than a year since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the year name has not yet been established. Before he came to court for the last time, Queen Mother Zheng had already chosen the year name.

"Shan'er, from now on, you will be the emperor of the Qi Kingdom."

Even though the Empress Dowager Zheng was well-maintained, she couldn't hold back the folds from laughing at this time, but Xu Boshan was not as happy as she was, just looking at her armor inlaid with fine pearls and jade felt instinctively on his face. out of the way.

"Mountain."

Empress Dowager Zheng knew that he was still angry about what she did to Xu Borong, but his son is now the king of a country, not a crying child dragging his brother's clothes.

"Shan'er, then Xu Borong is not..."

"Auntie!"

Xu Boshan couldn't bear it anymore, the Empress Dowager Zheng still remembered her identity, but when Xu Borong showed an expression of impatience, her eyes became sharp.

Xu Borong is honest and timid by nature, seeing the Empress Dowager Zheng immediately put away her impatient expression, squinting at her confidant father-in-law, wishing she could leave here immediately.

"Queen Mother, it's time to go to court. Today is an auspicious day."

The confidant father-in-law understood what he meant, and immediately went forward with a smile on his face. Seeing that Mrs. Zheng's face softened a little, he continued: "Besides, why do you have to care about that person who has already turned into ashes?"

Xu Boshan's face changed slightly, but Empress Dowager Zheng was very happy, and only said "reward."

Xu Boshan hurried to the court hall and didn't bother to say anything.

The imperial court is strangely quiet today.

Uncle Zheng Guo sat on one side as usual, and his disrespectful behavior has not received any criticism today. He is also a fox-like figure, and after seeing some strange expressions in the eyes of the officials, he slowly put it away The movement made his upper body stiff.

"Is there anything else you want to say, ladies and gentlemen?"

Xu Boshan said casually, he looked at the dozens of pairs of eyes in the audience and now they were all looking at him, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Today is really strange.

"The minister has played!"

Ning Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said loudly.

"I have grievances, I hope His Majesty will make the decision!"

How is this going?

Uncle Zheng Guo felt more and more uneasy, he was ready to get up, he looked at the officials behind him, those people who obeyed his orders, today seemed to have kicked a bit of dog's tail and kept their heads down.

"If there is any grievance, Ning Aiqing can just say it."

Xu Boshan raised his head.

With Xu Borong's approval, Ning Qing suddenly changed the tough guy, and knelt down with a plop, before Uncle Zheng Guo understood what happened, Ning Qing cried out.

"I have a grievance, but the villain is so powerful, I dare not speak lightly!"

"I love you, but it's okay to say."

Ning Qing was crying so hard, if you look closely, you might be able to see water stains on his sleeves.

Uncle Zheng Guo already understood what he was going to do after hearing what he said. He coughed once or twice, but someone said: "Uncle Guo is not feeling well?"

Uncle Zheng Guo blushed immediately. Although he knew what was going to happen, it was his nephew who was sitting high on the stage, and the bad things he did had something to do with the crowd behind him.

He has nothing to worry about, and he interprets it very well.

It's just that he didn't expect that Ning Qingdu was poisoned in just one mouth.

He first talked about how loyal his family was, and then said that this century-old foundation was ruined because of the jealousy of a single person. Although he mentioned that his family was corrupted, he also said that those who worked for tigers were extremely helpless.

In a word.

It's the Zheng family's fault.

Although Uncle Zheng Guo did all kinds of bad things, he was confident in the end, how could he have imagined that Ning Qing would turn black and white for the sake of punishing him, and would not distinguish between right and wrong.

"What nonsense!"

He got up suddenly, and the chair behind him couldn't support his tossing and fell down. The loud sound echoed in this huge space, and Uncle Zheng Guo suddenly panicked.

Because of his reliance, Xu Boshan was watching the farce in front of him with his lips tightly pursed without saying a word.

Xu Boshan has always been indifferent to political affairs, because the Empress Dowager Zheng is secretly controlling, and all the officials are following the example of Uncle Zheng Guo, it's not that he doesn't know this, but he is too lazy to take care of it, he always thought that this position was stolen from Xu Borong of.

However, his heart has not been lost yet, and everything that Ning Qing said was murdered by the heavens, but he is still alive.

because of myself.

When Uncle Zheng Guo realized that the situation was getting more and more wrong, fine sweat had already emerged from the corner of his forehead, and the sweat slid down his cheeks, and there was a coolness behind him.

But today, Empress Dowager Zheng did not come to court.

Ning Qing described Uncle Zheng Guo's private bribery, reselling official positions, robbing civilian women and forcing them into prostitution and other bad things one by one. Veins burst out.

"Uncle, what else do you want to say?"

Xu Boxan's tone was gentle, but that uncle made Uncle Zheng Guo kneel straight down. He didn't know what Xu Boxan meant, but he was sure in his heart that he was doomed.

He was busy kowtowing, but he didn't bluntly say his sin, but tried to drag all the officials into the water.

"Your Majesty! The minister is guilty, but the so-called one hand can't be slapped, how many of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are clean?"

Someone behind him sneered, this Uncle Zheng Guo is also extremely stupid, Xu thought that the law does not blame the public, and even tried to drag everyone into the water, Ning Qing saw his reaction like this, and cried and told her sister-in-law was pregnant but died tragically at home. At the instruction of Uncle Zheng Guo, he raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears.

Xu Boshan didn't need to say a word from the beginning to the end.

Most of the officials were caught by Xu Borong in Anjiao, and they all knew that today's disturbance was just to get rid of Uncle Zheng Guo.

However, Xu Boshan's attitude was really suspicious, and he seemed to want to cover up.

Ning Qing would not allow such a thing to happen, and so did other people. Although today is just a matter of lip service, but let Uncle Zheng Guo go out in a good manner after going out of this door, and the other side is to let the tiger go back to the mountain!

Ning Qing suddenly grabbed the ground with his head, then got up and grabbed Uncle Zheng Guo's collar. The incident happened suddenly. Uncle Zheng Guo was suddenly pulled over by a cart, and the official hat on his head fell off with a muffled sound. I don't know where the strength came from, and I was knocked out alive.

Disrespect in front of the palace is a felony, but Xu Boshan didn't seem to notice it, the guards didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him because he spoke, and they were all literati and they didn't realize that any big trouble would happen.

However, he did not expect that Uncle Zheng Guo, who had been an official for a long time, was a hated creature. After he fainted, those seemingly powerless civil servants seemed to be alive, and they all played together to say that they had bullied.

Xu Boshan did not stop these people.

So these people swarmed up, and of course some people pretended to persuade them to fight, but their feet were much more honest than their mouths.

Xu Boxan remained silent, but a thin voice pushed the atmosphere to its climax.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

This may be the first time in the hundred years since the founding of the country that the queen mother arrived, but no one greeted her.

Days are going to change.

Xu Boxan thought to himself, but smiled.

There was faint blood overflowing, Ning Qing withdrew his feet, his clothes had traces of being soaked by school, as did the officials around him, the high-pitched voice did not stop the group of adults, but There is a drive to make things worse.

"The bones of the former emperor are not yet cold, so the queen mother connives at my younger brother's crime?"

Empress Dowager Zheng didn't believe it when she heard that her younger brother was beaten. After all, it was her own family. The emperor couldn't just sit back and watch, but it was funny to see the little eunuch crying.

That family doesn't have eyes and dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, she thought.

She is not too old.

She didn't realize this when she first saw the tragedy of her brother.

"Where did the bastard come from, dare to act wild on the court?!"

Ning Qing was a little amused, but bowed his head without saying a word, and the speaker behind him stepped forward holding a wat.

"Tell the empress dowager, the ministers are just following the words of the ancient sages... Qingjun side!"

What he said was really infuriating, but Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't find fault with her, she just gritted her teeth and said with a superficial smile: "Why doesn't the Ai family know why Uncle Guo has become a treacherous person?"

"The queen mother is in a high position, so she should avoid idleness."

"presumptuous!"

The speaker did not kneel down.

Ning Qing, on the other hand, re-watched the drama just now. The Empress Dowager Zheng naturally knew about her brother's messy things, but she also knew that these things had nothing to do with those who opposed her.

It's just that Uncle Zheng Guo has already fainted, and those fools on the wall seem determined to oppose her. She was given a headache by Ning Qing's non-stop words, but turned to look at the emperor, who was staring at the head in a daze .

It's none of your business.

After all, she knew at a glance that she was her own mother, and her unworthy son wanted to sit on the sidelines.

She couldn't speak for this group of officials.

However, the accompanying eunuch came over.

"Your Majesty, if the last emperor's edict is still there, this group of people will not be able to overthrow the sky."

Empress Dowager Zheng was dizzy from the noise, and she didn't care about the eunuch's bad idea. As soon as she opened her mouth, the flood... burst the embankment.

If she survived this day, Queen Mother Zheng might see the country name she chose recorded in the annals of history, but it's a pity.

In the first year of Yuanhe, the eastern capital Wangcheng is on the side of the Qing emperor.

A few days later, the new emperor suddenly appeared.

Empress Dowager Zheng hanged herself in the palace.

Back in Wangcheng, Xu Borong still looked the same, plain clothes and white clothes, modest and polite.

"It's just that I never expected that the prince would hand over the position that is at his fingertips."

Yue Zhi followed beside him, holding the jade pendant in his hand, which was given to him by Xu Borong a few days ago.

"Boshan committed suicide."

Xu Borong sighed, and remained silent for a long time. He selfishly knew the strangeness of Xu Borong's death.

"Why did he kill himself?"

He asked, but it was very clear in his heart.

The late emperor had ten sons, and among the nine, only Xu Boshan was mellow and kind to others, even Xu Borong was treated like a real brother.

"It's just why did he give up the Zheng family?"

This is the biggest doubt, Xu Boxan seems to know something.

Xu Borong didn't answer, they were still standing on the city tower, and they could see everything in the world.

"Prince, let's go."

Yue Zhi is used to tugging at the hem of his clothes these days.

Xu Borong nodded, but a neigh drew the two people's attention away, Yue Zhi looked down at the city tower, and at his fingertips a tall horse rushed towards him like a cluster of red flames.

It's Yuefeng.

Only then did Yuezhi remember that he had entrusted Yuefeng to others when he was arrested.
