The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 159

While talking, someone outside the palace began to cry out in pain: "Your Majesty——Luoshui and Nan Zhao's marriage is a decree left by the late emperor, and it was appointed that His Majesty should marry Nan Zhao and get married. Now, once His Majesty ascends the throne, how can you be married?" How absurd is it to let the king of one country marry and marry another country? But if there is a discord, Master Nanzhao will go to war with Luoshui because of his reputation. I also ask His Majesty to give up the throne and make peace for the country, so as to appease Nanzhao's anger!"

After hearing this, Chang Ji sneered, and said to Hui Jiu, "Listen, these people have been kneeling for a long time, and they don't know how to stand up."

"Sister..." He hesitated after returning to the wine, "If Nan Zhao goes to war, is he really going to fight?"

Chang Ji said: "Fight. The previous defeat has already lost Luoshui's face. Now if you want to bow your head to Nan Zhao again, Luoshui will be Nan Zhao's dog in the future. I am Yangze Shui, Dongzhou Orthodox, what? It's time for the Nanzhao Fire Clan to ride on the head and dictate."

The ministers outside were still shouting: "The two countries are at war, people are dying, and the people are in dire straits... Please take the common people's life as the top priority, and give up the emperor's position to ask Nanzhao for peace."

Back to the wine, he said angrily: "This is the voice of the eldest son of the Jin Ge Mansion, right? What did he say? Why didn't he say this when the father and the emperor went to the conquest? Why didn't he go to lobby when the second king rebelled?" People are in dire straits? Now they are using this to embarrass people. Could it be that Luoshui will be suppressed by Nan Zhao in the future, and the people will not be in dire straits? It is really unreasonable, I will scold him!"

As he was about to go out, Chang said: "Don't go, let them kneel outside if they love to kneel. Hong Liaozi, go to the imperial dining room and say, prepare dinner for these adults, and kneel They are also kneeling, so why not have dinner while they have time. If they still refuse to leave at night, let someone fetch their quilts for them."

Hong Liaozi responded with a cry and went out.

After dinner, these people really refused to leave.No one ate the dinner that Red Polygonum had sent, and several ministers couldn't kneel down, fell to the ground and couldn't get up.Hong Liaozi hurriedly took several internal officials to lift the kneeling minister to the document cabinet ahead to rest.

The ministers did not dare to break into the Zhengjing Hall, so Cang Yubo went to move the Queen Mother here.The Empress Dowager drove straight into the inner hall, Chang Ji was about to go to bed, the Empress Dowager greeted her and said, "It's already this time, do you still want to sleep?"

Wan Tong came with him, and said beside the queen mother: "Queen mother, calm down, don't be so angry, if you get sick, it's not as she wants. Luo Shui, because of you, Nan Zhao will die soon." You are about to hit the door, but you are still in the mood to sleep, and even punished the minister who came to persuade you to kneel outside. What kind of empress and emperor are you? , don’t be beaten down at the enthronement ceremony and make a bigger joke.”

Tan Qing immediately said: "Presumptuous! In front of His Majesty, the second princess, do you dare to make a mistake?"

Chang Ji has been busy lately, so she has no time to treat her, so she sent herself to the door to make trouble.

Chang Wei went to the Queen Mother and bowed before him and said, "Queen Mother, I want to sleep in peace. If there is anything the Queen Mother needs, please come back tomorrow. As for you..."

She turned her head to look at Wan Tong: "Wan Tong of Luoshui's family speaks insignificantly, despises the majesty of the emperor, and is degraded from the title of princess to princess. She is banned for three months to see the aftermath."

Wan Tong said angrily: "You..."

After only saying this one word, Chang Wei ignored her and said: "If you dare to commit another crime, you will be demoted to a commoner and moved out of Tai'an Palace. Come here, and send the princess back to the palace to be restrained."

As soon as she finished speaking, the imperial guards immediately came in to escort Wan Tong, Wan Tong struggled out from the hands of the imperial guards, grabbed the queen mother and said: "Mother's queen, mother's queen..."

The Queen Mother said: "Stop."

She has always defended Wantong, so how could she just watch Wantong being taken away like this.It is precisely because of this that Wantong has no scruples.

Chang Ji said: "Queen Dowager, here is the living man. Every sentence I said just now with the princess is recorded in the book, which will be read and kept by the Zongzheng Temple, and future generations will observe and comment. With the words of the princess just now, I will rule her." Every crime has a legal basis. The Queen Mother is the mother of Luoshui, if you ignore the etiquette and protect the princess at this time, then I can follow the same example and disregard the etiquette and contradict the Queen Mother."

The queen mother gritted her teeth secretly, looked back at Wan Tong and said, "Go first, there is Ai's family, no one will embarrass you."

Wan Tong immediately burst into tears and said, "She hasn't ascended the throne, and she's not the real emperor. Why should she say what she says? After tomorrow, it's hard to say whether she can still be in Tai'an Palace. Why should she punish me?" ? I refuse to accept! I won't go!"

The Empress Dowager got a headache from her crying, and Chang Ji said casually: "The imperial court is disrespectful, and I have to ask the crime."

Wan Tong stopped crying immediately, and followed the guards out with tears in silence.

Chang Ji couldn't help but smirk, do you think she is idle?

Since she took the Imperial Seal, she has read all the books and classics on patriarchal etiquette in Luoshui and memorized them in her mind.When it comes to punishing crimes, no one can do it better than her.

"I can't sleep peacefully after the Princess made such a fuss. Since the Empress Dowager has something to do, please tell me." Chang Wei sat down on the couch in the inner hall, raised his hand and said, "Please sit down, Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager said: "Now you look like an emperor."

Chang Ji smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is too famous."

The queen mother sneered, sat opposite her and said, "The matter of Nan Zhao..."

"Nan Zhao's affairs are political affairs." Chang Ji took a sip of hot tea, "The Empress Dowager should not ask too much about government affairs in the inner court."

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "How can the Ai family not ask? Nanzhao is about to send troops to Luoshui, and Luoshui has only suffered a defeat. If there is a war again, who is Nanzhao's opponent? By then Luoshui It was a crushing defeat, and you are to blame."

Chang Ji said slowly: "Luoshui was defeated, who is the Empress Dowager blaming? Who instigated the first emperor's imperial conquest? Who did everything possible to force Shenshan Mansion to hand over military power and cause civil strife? The military power of Shenshan Mansion is now In my hands, even if the power of the whole country is poured out, I will also be ashamed of Luoshui."

Just as he was talking, Hong Liaozi came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zuo Xiang is seeking to see you outside."

Chang Ji said: "Zuo Lian goes to the palace at night must be a very important matter, pass it on."

Nie Chuanzhen came in, saluted Chang Wei and the Queen Mother, and said, "Your Majesty, the Nanzhao envoy entered the city overnight, and the envoy also brought the letter of credence."

The queen mother immediately said: "What is the letter of credence? It is clearly a letter of war. Why don't you summon it overnight and express your attitude."

Chang Wei said: "Master Zuo, you sent people to surround Nanzhao's posthouse. Although the two countries will not be beheaded in the war, if this battle starts, if the blood of Nanzhao people is not sacrificed to the flag, it will be difficult to understand. The hatred in my heart."

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Yes. I will send someone to arrest Nan Zhao's envoy."

"No!" The Queen Mother shouted, "Aren't you declaring war on Nan Zhao?"
