Chapter 785 Weighing
Li Ke asked Wu Meiniang for her opinion, and Wu Meiniang naturally didn't want to kill Wu Weiliang, if Wu Meiniang didn't protect Wu Weiliang's life, the Wu family would not work hard for her in the future.

But Wu Meiniang is of course unwilling to take Wu Weiliang's life, but how to deal with Wu Weiliang is another problem.

Ma Zhou is here, and Wu Weiliang will never let him go lightly. I am afraid that this official will not be able to keep it if he wants to, but under the premise of dismissing him, what to do is a problem.

If the treatment is serious, the Wu family will have resentment against her, and there will be some grievances to some extent. If the treatment is light, she will cover up for herself as a queen. Once it is spread, it will be even more detrimental to her reputation. It became a joke.

Li Ke seemed to be respecting her and asked her what she meant, but in fact, he handed over this hot potato to her, and she had to accept it. After all, the instigator of this matter was Wu Meiniang herself.

After a brief weighing, Wu Meiniang quickly made a decision. Compared with Wu Weiliang's complaints about herself, Wu Meiniang's own reputation and the impression of the prime minister Ma Zhou on her were obviously more important.

Wu Meiniang said: "Although Wu Weiliang is a relative of the state, his crime cannot be forgiven lightly. He should be deprived of his official position and exiled in Lingnan, and he will not be used forever."

Regarding how to deal with Wu Weiliang, Wu Meiniang gave three suggestions, but each of these three suggestions is more important than the other. Wu Weiliang's official position was not right, and dismissal is inevitable. Although it is difficult to live in Lingnan, it is not worthwhile to say that he is temporarily avoiding the limelight. However, if he cannot be used forever, it will hurt the root, which means that Wu Weiliang's political career is completely over.

Li Ke was quite satisfied with Wu Meiniang's answer, it was nothing more than an official, and the people dealt with it, and the prestige was established. Although Wu Weiliang's life was not killed, Li Ke had all the results he wanted.

Li Ke asked Ma Zhou, "Prince Bin, I think this is good, what do you think?"

When Li Ke asked this question, he naturally meant to deal with it. Ma Zhou also agreed when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he still added a sentence.

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is related to the credibility of the imperial examination. You can record this matter in the court newspaper and spread the rumors to the world, so as to serve as an example to others."

Compared with losing his life, being dismissed from office is already a good result for Wu Weiliang. Ma Zhou's words are in his ears, and Wu Weiliang can't help feeling a little more fortunate for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Wu Weiliang was like this, but after hearing what Ma Zhou said, Wu Meiniang's expression turned ugly.

Ma Zhou did this solemnly, not only for the imperial examination, but also to convey a message to the world, that is, Li Ke did not want the Wu family to interfere in the government affairs, and from then on the courtiers would only respect the Wu family and Wu Meiniang .

Ma Zhou's tricks were sophisticated, and this move hit the nail on the head, almost cutting off Wu Meiniang's way to interfere in the government through the Wu family, but Wu Meiniang had nothing to do.

Li Ke asked Wu Meiniang: "What King Bin said is indeed a good idea, what does the Empress think of King Bin's suggestion?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Wu Meiniang can't insist anymore, so she can only respond: "I think this is fine."

"Okay, King Bin, then do as you wish, and follow this matter yourself." Li Ke instructed Ma Zhou.

"No, I'll take care of it now." Ma Zhou heard the words, and immediately complied, resigned and left the palace, and went to deal with the matter.

Ma Zhou has already retired, and this matter is over, Li Ke also ordered Wu Weiliang to leave the palace, waiting for the court's disposal.

After the two left, Wu Meiniang also said: "The concubine cannot absolve himself of the blame for Wu Weiliang's matter, and he should reflect on himself. If His Majesty has no other explanation, the concubine will retire and return to the palace."

Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang, who looked rather disappointed, and there was a trace of sadness and sigh that suddenly surfaced in his heart. Since Li Ke ascended the throne, his relationship with Wu Meiniang has become estranged unconsciously. The state of being speechless.

Li Ke knew the reason for this situation, and it was simply that the balance between husband and wife relationship and power struggle was broken.

Li Ke has already ascended the throne, out of concerns about historical inertia and the implementation of court rules, Li Ke is unwilling or even worried about Wu Meiniang's excessive contact with the government.But Wu Meiniang is not a person willing to be silent. Out of her own pursuit of power and the stability of their mother and son's future status, Wu Meiniang instinctively wants to contact power and the court, which naturally makes Li Ke sound the alarm in his heart.

In fact, it is not a big deal for the empress to interfere in the government affairs. A virtuous queen like the eldest grandson would interfere in the government affairs more or less. There are also many relatives who are officials in the court, and many of them are high officials in the court.

If the empress were to change someone, even if it was Xiao Yuexian who was also quite scheming, Li Ke would not be so disgusted, but she was Wu Meiniang. As the emperor, when Li Ke associated this name with the power of the court, There will be a sudden worry.

But the facts are true, but Li Ke doesn't want things to go on like this. After all, the woman in front of him is not someone else, but his wife who accompanied him all the way. It would be too much for him to ignore Wu Meiniang and alienate her. It's a little cooler.

Standing on the hall, Li Ke looked at the thin figure who turned around and was about to leave in the hall, and suddenly said: "This matter is not what you wanted, and it has nothing to do with you at all, why should you introspect yourself."

Wu Meiniang listened to Li Ke's words, turned around, looked at Li Ke, and asked puzzledly, "What does your majesty mean?"

Li Ke walked down the hall, came to Wu Meiniang, slowly took Wu Meiniang's hand, and said softly: "There is no outsider here, your majesty has pushed my husband thousands of miles away."

Li Ke's words caught his ears, and Wu Meiniang was a little stunned. In fact, they are both husband and wife. Li Ke is not the only one who is confused by this matter recently, and Wu Meiniang is also the same.

Wu Meiniang is very clear that she can have today, and the Wu family can have today, on whom to rely. If there is no Li Ke, everything she has now is a castle in the air. It can be said that everything she has now is given by Li Ke.

If it was an ordinary couple, Wu Meiniang might be able to sit on all these calmly, but Li Ke is the emperor, the emperor who sits on the world, since ancient times, the emperor is ruthless, and the emperor's heart is changeable. This is an indisputable fact. It's easy, even if Li Ke made the empress immediately after ascending the throne, he had already decided on the East Palace.

Therefore, in order to satisfy her own sense of security, Wu Meiniang will always get in touch with the government intentionally or unintentionally, even though she knows that doing so is against Li Ke's intentions, so that she gets into a dead end.

Li Ke's words awakened Wu Meiniang immediately, and she couldn't help asking herself what she was doing. If she lost Li Ke's heart because of fighting for the so-called power, it would be the cart before the horse.

Wu Meiniang said: "Meiniang doesn't mean that, it's just that there are too many things recently, Meiniang is a little bit powerless."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Since you can't do what you want, don't think too much about it. Even if there is a big event, I will support you mother and child. Now Huan'er has gone out to open the palace. If nothing happens in the palace, you Let's rest in Ganlu Palace tonight, we husband and wife haven't talked properly for a long time."
