Chapter 78

Zhou Qi was extremely irritable, "What's the use of saying this now!"

"Son," the Queen Mother Niu leaned forward and asked cautiously, "Could it be that you have some clever plan? Tell me, I'll just cooperate with you."

"Mother," Zhou Qi suppressed his anger, and said, "Can you stop making decisions on your own in the future? Just let me know what you want to do."

Seeing him like this, Queen Mother Niu lost her temper at all, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Only then did Zhou Qi calm down, and comforted the Queen Mother Niu again: "Queen Mother, please be patient and wait a little longer, everything is going in a good direction."

Empress Dowager Niu suddenly remembered something: "The Ai family heard that the emperor wants to teach martial arts? Is it true?"

"Well," Zhou Qi nodded, "Those people who fought the world with father and elder brother were a bit rebellious. I don't need to worry about it. I want to select more capable and obedient people."

"That's right, that's right!" The Queen Mother Niu nodded repeatedly, "Those old fellows rely on their own merits and don't take you seriously. It's really outrageous!"

Zhou Qi's face was ugly again.

It is true that his talent is far behind that of his father and brother. When the former crown prince was alive, all the old officials supported him with both hands, even willing to let his nephew go through life and death with the former crown prince.

When it was my turn, those old guys looked contemptuous in their eyes!
Zhou Qi thought bitterly: I want you to know, but without your support, I can still stand firm!

Xu Ji asked curiously: "Is there no one to advise? Our current emperor, His Majesty, does things too freely.

"The decrees left by the former emperor can be changed at will, what else can't he do?"

Song Qingzhai shook his head, "Naturally, the veteran courtiers can't watch him do anything wrong.

"However, he first brought out the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, and blocked everyone's mouths.

"Then..." he sneered, "Do you know how he treats those veteran ministers with outstanding achievements?"

Xu Ji shook his head. She doesn't understand politics and never pays attention to it, so naturally she doesn't know.

Song Qingzhai mocked all over his face: "Most of Conglong's old ministers are the same as the former emperor, with low backgrounds, and some even fell into bandits. Naturally, they have some unbearable pasts.

"He then used these to fabricate charges and frame them.

"Of course, if it is completely framed, he will be wronged. Some veteran ministers are not cautious in their words and deeds, so he will catch them.

"Many old ministers were forced to resign because of this, and some declared that they were too old to care about worldly affairs.

"Nowadays, there are not many people who are willing to stay in the court and speak up for justice.

"However, if he wants to govern the world, he can do it without warriors, but he can't without literati.

"Even if it's just for the sake of fame, he acted like a corporal and invited many great sages and scholars into the court.

"At the beginning, these people also wanted to show their ambitions, but who knows, he just put these people in a high place for others to see."

Xu Ji twitched his lips, did he just regard someone with great talent as a mascot?

"Not to mention others, he once had a gentleman who helped him a lot when he was in his infancy. When he became a great treasure, that gentleman thought he could be proud.

"Who knew that my miserable past was exposed, and I was so angry that I died of it."

Xu Ji was curious: "What kind of unbearable past?"

Song Qingzhai said: "That gentleman was already a well-known literati in the former Qin Dynasty, but he was kicked out of the examination room after he was found out and bribed the examiner because of repeated failures.

"This is the only stain in his life, and it is also a great shame as a literati.

"In order to get rid of this shadow, he did not hesitate to damage his face. There is no one who knows about this, except his proud disciple."

Xu Ji frowned, Zhou Qihuan's character is terrible!
"Then you..." Xu Ji looked up at Song Qingzhai's young, handsome and resolute face, "Why are you willing to fight for him?"
