The Three Thousand Harem of the Fake Empress

Chapter 44 The Empress Controversy

After Qiao Jiuyou's appearance, the entire court was very surprised, and felt that the regent was blessed with great blessings, and after suffering such a catastrophe, he must be extremely happy.

Just one thing, quite embarrassing.

A few days ago, the empress thought that the regent would not live long, so all the ministers agreed to make Feng Yan the empress. In exchange, Qiao Xueqing, who was only seven years old, was appointed as the princess, and she would only announce it to the public when Qiao Jiuyou died.

This is a good time, the upright princess returns strongly, there is no room for a replacement.

In July, regarding the country's foundation and the establishment of a princess, there should be no further delay.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Hui smelled incense and ironed his clothes, and entered the palace early. When he arrived at the door of the meeting hall, the guards lifted the curtain, and a dozen or so senior officials stood up to greet each other, exchanging greetings.

Xu Hui sat at the head frankly, and the rest sat down according to their official positions.

"Everyone, Mr. Xu has been at odds with one or two cabinet elders for a long time. Due to the current situation, we are not allowed to wait for our own interests. Everything has to be viewed from the overall situation.

Say what you have to say, don't be suspicious and wary of each other, after all, Qiao Xueqing was elected by the big guys together. "

Xu Hui's words were straightforward enough, and he did not shy away from rivals with different political opinions. Right now, they are all accomplices who have reached a consensus to elect the new princess-Qiao Xueqing, and they are all on the opposite side of the regent.

The position of Empress Dowager is becoming more and more intense. If Qiao Jiuyou succeeds to the throne, with her thunderous means, they are very likely to be taken over by one pot.

"The regent has returned intact, what should we do?" Sir Situ looked around, his eyes filled with sadness, "At the beginning, I chose the princess because I saw that she would not survive. At that time, we had many disputes, so we made a compromise. Choose Qiao Xueqing, who is docile and good-looking, and His Majesty will issue an imperial edict in secret before February [-], which is only one step away."

Grand Tutor Li Mingjie was wearing a black indigo inner shirt. He was nearly middle-aged, with a refined temperament and an elegant demeanor. He glanced at him lightly, without the panic and panic on everyone's faces, and sipped tea leisurely, "Lord of the country, don't say that you are one step away!" , even half a step, the consequences are not something we courtiers can bear."

"Master Taifu is right. Now that the ship is going to dock, we, as ministers, have to find a pier to be safe and sound. Who would like to change their lives for the sake of the situation?"

The general of Fuguo - Xue Kai, is rude, with rough words but not rough reasoning.

People have to find a solid backer, especially when they do the dreadful work of entering the court as an official.

For a long time, no one dared to talk.

Li Mingjie knew that everyone was waiting for him, including the prime minister, and he was the first to express his attitude on which side he was on.

In fact, there is no need to think about it at all.

Su hand drew circles on the rim of the jade cup. Li Mingjie's narrow eyebrows and eyes were as deep as the sea. As the Taifu, he served as Qiao Jiuyou's master for three days. A respectable senior.

This move is wise and terrible.

Who doesn't know that Qiao Jiuyou's emperor teacher died unexpectedly in the end.

On the first day, he discovered that Qiao Jiuyou was born with the material of an emperor, and he was ecstatic, secretly delighted to get such a gem that did not need to be polished.

On the second day, Qing came out of Lan Yulan's mastery, and it was pitch black. If you look closely, it is a profound writing, which should have been praised.Unfortunately, when he dissected|dissected the thick ink, his whole body shuddered!

The outside is literary and ink, but the inside is actually a black heart!

On the third day, he wanted to change the opponent's mind, but the ten-year-old Qiao Jiuyou said something.

"Lord Li, you can know the emperor like the palm of your hand, but you can't know everything about me.

Those who see the abyss of others will definitely be torn apart by the abyss. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try.

There is no need to wait until I am an adult, when I am on the throne, and when I am in a good mood, I will try Yafeng myself. "

From then on, Li Mingjie knew that there was no match for Qiao Jiuyou in this world.

As someone who sees through her, only by obedience can he survive.

Qiao Jiuyou had never approached him about the establishment of a princess, so he must abandon Qiao Xueqing.

Because her own way of life is in her hands.

"Qiao Xueqing," Li Mingjie paused, attracting the attention of everyone present, and then calmly said: "You are still young, you don't look like an emperor, your temperament is uncertain, and you don't know if you can shoulder Yuqiong when you become an adult."

"Hey, lord Li, why are you capricious?" Xue Kai hurriedly said, "You didn't say that when you chose Qiao Xueqing. You boasted about the other party. How come the regent returns and doesn't look like an emperor?" ?”

Lord Situ was also dissatisfied with her ruthlessness, so she couldn't help but refute: "Why is Qiao Xueqing not like an emperor? She is a top-notch among the royal family and nobles. She is proficient in literature and ink, and has a broad mind. .”

"Like an emperor, what is it like?" Li Mingjie raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile that was not suitable for his age on his calm face, "Master Situ, please tell me."

"Based on the people, love the people like a son, be knowledgeable and talented, fearless in times of danger..."

Seeing that Master Situ was eloquent, Li Mingjie raised his hand slightly, and simply signaled, "I didn't get to the point."

"What's that?" General Fuguo was a little anxious, he thought that what Sir Situ said was also on his own idea.

"Ambition and killing intent."

As soon as the words came out, no one dared to say a word.

Li Mingjie squeezed a smile, held the fruit, and played with his fingers: "Perhaps, you think that Qiao Xueqing can sit back and relax with the imperial edict. It doesn't matter whether she has ambition or not. There will always be someone to solve her problems. That's it. The good emperor in your eyes is just a puppet in my eyes."

Being told the central thought, everyone was speechless.

Li Mingjie continued: "Qiao Xueqing's generation rarely fought wars, was born in a favorable environment, and was not stained with blood. She was naturally cultivated to be intelligent and full of benevolence and righteousness. She pursues the prosperity of the country and the people in her heart. She is willing to waste money and invade other countries and swallow other people's cities."

"What's wrong with this?" Master Situ retorted immediately: "Isn't it good for the world to be peaceful? Isn't it good for the people to live and work in peace and contentment? Do you have to fight and kill, making people miserable?"

The General Fuguo was immediately dissatisfied and yelled: "This wave, I stand as the tutor. If I don't spill blood on everyone's battlefield, where will the country and the people be safe?

The family and the country cannot be protected, everything is nonsense, when foreigners bully us and take our city, you think it is enough to take it back, it is all nonsense.How did the first emperor do it?When someone robs a camp, we rob the other side of a city; if the other side robs a city, we plunder the other side's state!Courage is like this, and it is no longer the worldly way of tit for tat.

If the enemy bullies Yuqiong, he should pay back ten times. That's what the first emperor did, and the Immediate Holy Majesty, he did the same in the past!I never guarded an acre of land and played with mud there.In other words, Yuqiong has such a large area, isn't it pieced together by ambition? "

Some people present nodded, and Li Mingjie nodded: "You must rest and recuperate, and you must have ambitions!

The first emperor has completed the expansion of territory and hegemony achievements. If he has no ambition, he will definitely go downhill.You can't see it right now, but after decades, if you look at it again, it will be too late and it will be over. "

There was a rare silence in the hall, Shaoqing, Lord Situ raised his head and asked, "What about killing heart?"

"Killing heart?" Li Mingjie spread his hands, "If you ask me, even if Qiao Xueqing is pushed up, she won't be able to sit for three months."

Everyone was frightened, and their faces were ugly as hell.

Imagine for a while, what the Taifu said, there is no prophecy, it is a matter of scriptures and certainty.

Now, who dares to be an enemy of the Regent?

After a long while, Lord Situ relaxed, "It's okay to support the regent again, but rumors and rumors are probably..."

Everyone knows it well, about a woman named Bai Lian'an.

"I'm afraid the rumors are true." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment rarely interjected: "The regent sent someone to take Bai Lian'an away from the death row without leaving anything behind. , this matter is still covered."

Xue Kai snorted, the heroic aura of a general was very strong, he said: "It's just a woman, the regent will give her if he wants, I don't think that woman will live long, after all her stomach has been pierced, according to His Highness's stern temper, don't let her The peeling cramps?"

"It's okay to kill her. Love is love and hatred is hatred. You can distinguish clearly, so you won't be fooled in the future." Master Situ felt quite embarrassed, and muttered softly, "I'm afraid...she won't kill."

In a word, everyone fell into deep thought again.

If you don't kill Bai Lian'an, can you not prove that the regent loves women?

"It's true that Your Highness likes women, isn't Yuqiong trying to mess things up?" Xue Kai flattened his lips and said, "It's not that I'm talking nonsense, the nobles of the family are very dissatisfied with this, when they chose the regent, they chose her as the palace's choice and gave the golden hairpin to her. I gave it to a handsome man, and everyone expected him to be Yuqiong's continuous heir, not to see all the daughters and mess up the harem."

The Tai Tu lord put down the fresh pear, and rolled his eyes, "Your Highness likes it, who can do anything? She won't announce it, just give birth honestly, and don't let three thousand male sex change female sex, it's nothing."

"We have been dealing with Your Highness for a long time. Anyone here who doesn't know her temperament, dares to go against her, is courting death." Xue Kai wrapped his front, and when he talked about the regent, his chest felt a little cold: "When the time comes , Your Highness is enthroned as emperor, even if we crash to death, we won't be able to change the situation, and we can even cook us and feed them to the dogs."

The Prime Minister clasped the white jade cup tightly with five fingers, and did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

Li Mingjie shook his head, and said frankly: "Your Highness married Yu Fei, Zhao Ti, and Qi Haowen earlier, just to send a signal to us. She is not His Majesty, and she will not accept women as queens and concubines in a fair manner. Her harem, now, In the future, there must be three thousand men. Even if you don't love her, you have to put up a face to avoid the world's discussion and anger.

As for whether she likes Baili An'an or misses the general, it's meaningless to go into it.As for Qiao Xueqing...it's a pity, we can't protect her. "

Everyone became anxious and thought, thinking that Qiao Xueqing was also a dragon and phoenix among men, who was recommended up without a sound, and pushed down without a sound.

They didn't know the deep lament in Taifu's mouth.

Li Mingjie didn't feel sorry for Qiao Xueqing's loss of the throne, he felt sad for the other party's imminent death.

"Is it possible what Master Li said?" Xue Kai muttered again.

Master Situ understood it, and stopped arguing, and said: "On the surface, it is fine if you are willing to marry a man and have children. Behind the scenes, she likes pigs, so it doesn't bother you."

Li Mingjie smiled lightly, and handed Master Situ a pear.

The Prime Minister coughed twice and asked, "Is that the deal?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Lord Situ took a bite of a crispy pear, "How old is Qiao Xueqing? Can she beat the regent? Can she sit for three months?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Hui reprimanded in a low voice, then turned his face, and said slowly: "Teacher is right, Qiao Xueqing is just a little rabbit, the regent has already full-fledged, and he is a falcon in the sky. You can't protect fifteen. Instead of offending others, it's better to show your loyalty now and secure your jobs."

"Your Excellency said that, you must have shown your loyalty?" asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Xu Hui said solemnly: "A grasshopper on a boat, I have shown my loyalty, and am I doing it for you?"

"That's the same." Minister of the Criminal Ministry touched a bunch of beautiful beards, and said with emotion: "The regent is enthroned as emperor, we have to work hard. As for the rejection of Qiao Xueqing, it is also a good thing, leaving a rich life , go enjoy yourself."

Xue Kai was not in the mood, and said to himself: "I thought we could live a relaxed life by making Qiao Xueqing the emperor, but Xiao Nizi didn't have that fate. But... the regent's methods are too poisonous, and he died in court. Husband and wife worship each other, and Xiaowei Ji just became cannon fodder."

"Don't mention this!" The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice stomped his feet anxiously, and immediately retorted, "His Royal Highness drank tea, and Ji Jinrong ate tea. If the tea is poisonous, both of them must have died of poisoning at the same time. Later, Wu Zuo did an autopsy and found that the poison has no cure. .That is to say, there is no antidote that can be taken in advance, and then poisoned. Therefore, His Highness has no suspicion at all."

Lord Situ was also a little anxious, and said to General Fuguo: "It is still stupid to say you are stupid, even if there is a huge suspicion, or if you find out the hard evidence in the future, it is indeed her who did it, and everyone has to clean up for the regent. Bai... the Ministry of Punishment, haven't you expressed your loyalty to His Highness yet?"

"Aww," Xue Kai's gourd turned his head, and said apologetically, "I see, I see, thank you for reminding me, I almost ruined the good work of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Master Situ waved his sleeves and said contemptuously, "Oh, you're so stupid!"

……

At noon, Qiao Jiuyou also entered the palace from the palace, waiting for the emperor's will after discussing with the courtiers.

She didn't sit on the jade table, and didn't ask the servants to follow her, she brought her mother in through Zijin Gate, detoured around Qingmei Lane, and rushed to the side hall of the imperial study.

Mammy followed closely behind, feeling a little worried as she walked, and had to ask, "Your Highness, if the empress insists on making Qiao Xueqing emperor, what should I do?"

Qiao Jiuyou didn't worry about this at all. She shook her head and walked quickly. She held a bone carving made by Bai Lian'an's double ribs in her hand, and her luxurious black and gold dragon robe shone in the bright sun. What's so scary, with his three-inch tongue and exquisite heart, the rest of the powerful officials will be willing to submit. Qiao Yulan, who is now like a blank sheet of paper, is no match for them."

"Even so, if someone sees something, if someone slips up and arouses His Majesty's suspicion, they have to think carefully." Mammy said.

"They can't see it." Qiao Jiuyou sneered, and slowed down his pace, "Everyone is an old fox, and I understand it in my heart. In fact, Ji Jinrong's death, I can make it more detailed and keep him far away, so that he can To die frankly and frankly is to tell everyone that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish."

"What's more, Qiao Xueqing is still young, so she doesn't have the courage of His Highness."

Mammy's expression was different, she pinched the flesh on the back of her hand with her nails, followed quickly for a while, after thinking twice, she mustered up her courage and said: "It's just a doll, who doesn't understand anything, so she was pushed to the front in a daze, why don't you let her go back to the front?" Fugui Township, after all, she is of the same family as you."

"Don't kill people of the same family?" Qiao Jiuyou stopped, played with the bone carving with great interest, and said indifferently: "Sister Feng Yan, who is closest to me, is also doomed to die. Although she didn't die in the I have it. However, what is Qiao Xueqing? The moment she is pushed out, she is no longer a simple child, but their pawn. Since she is a pawn, she must be prepared to be swallowed.

And I also want to take advantage of Qiao Xueqing's death to give a group of old foxes some warnings, so that they can be safe and determined to be my servants. "

Mammy remained silent and bowed her head slowly.

Qiao Jiuyou took two steps, sensed the emotions of the people beside her, speculated in her heart, and asked casually, "Mother, how long have you been with me?"

Mammy raised her head and said, "Since His Highness was born, the slaves have been serving you."

"Then why..." Qiao Jiuyou stopped unexpectedly, turned around, faced the Master's face, and asked abruptly, "Why do you want to intercede for Qiao Xueqing? Logically speaking, I was the one who brought you up Yes, others are incomparable."

The mother was sad in her heart, holding back her tears, "To say something disrespectful, His Highness was suckled by the servant, and the servant also treated His Highness as his own child. From the beginning to the end, there was no second heart."

"I know that. I have never doubted you. You are the only one in the world who can make me completely let go of my guard." Qiao Jiuyou nodded slightly, "And then?"

The nanny couldn't help but started to sob, her well-maintained face didn't have too many wrinkles, and there were one or two light spots at the end of her eyes, just one or two, filled with endless sadness, "The only thing that is strange in this slave's life is the old man at home. Your Highness has merit, the bastard old man got a lot of money, then went out to spend time and drink, was drunk for three days by the slut, never wanted to put his daughter on the bed, sobered up and ran home, the child...the child...was starved to death. "

Qiao Jiuyou frowned, and an unfathomable sadness flashed across her eyes. After a while, she asked, "What does this have to do with Qiao Xueqing?"

The mother held back her crying, wiped her tears with her cuff, and said with a choked voice, "I have never seen Princess Xueqing once, and the scarlet phoenix tail on the child's forehead is exactly the same as the one on my child's forehead."

After one word, two lines of tears.

Qiao Jiuyou was touched for the first time, and she parted her red lips slightly, thinking that she had never heard of it for so many years, combined with the current pain in the mother's heart, the strings in her heart were dull.

The sun is so bright that people can't open their eyes, and the scorching light covers everything.

"Nurse, if I, Qiao Jiuyou, want to kill someone, the other party will surely die."

After thinking for a long time, Qiao Jiuyou raised his hand, lightly brushed off the dust that did not exist on the shoulders of the nanny, and changed the subject: "For you, I will make an exception, and I will repay the kindness of feeding the young for so many years. Rao Qiao Xueqing, don't die .”

After hearing this, Mammy burst into tears, then knelt down and bowed.

At this time, suddenly a little eunuch hurried up to deliver a message.

Qiao Jiuyou froze for a moment as if struck by lightning after hearing it briefly.

Shaoqing, she came back to her senses, grabbed the servant's collar, and asked loudly with red eyes: "What did you say, An Ran donated a blood book to His Majesty, and swore that he would never enter the capital again in this life?!"

The little eunuch turned pale with fright, and nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Jiuyou's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the sea, she let go, and backed away in disbelief.

Over the years, I have stepped up to the pinnacle of power step by step. To achieve my goal, I have stained my hands with too much blood, but I have never been afraid of karma and evil spirits. I only hope that one day, I can stay with Murong safely.

Now, that person just leaves? !

No!

Absolutely not!

In an instant, the Regency Dynasty flew towards the Imperial Study Room.

She wants to stop Murong Anran, stop everything!
