Raid

Chapter 316
Zhou Lingwang didn't know about Jiang Muyi's bloody turmoil in the palace for the time being. After thinking about it, she went to pay a visit to King Wu.

She is a female family member, so she should be received by Princess Wu, but Princess Wu doesn't have a good impression of Zhou's daughters, and she doesn't see them often, so she didn't think so, but Zhou Lingwang took out the token from the Queen's Palace.

Concubine Wu heard that the other party put on the title of empress, so she didn't dare to neglect, the incident of the day before had spread to the rich and powerful families, and everyone knew that the empress empress killed Guan Zhi.

Concubine Wu was surprised, but she respected and admired her in her heart. Since someone came here with the queen's order, there must be some important business. In this case, it is naturally impossible for her to keep him out.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Zhou?" After a few words of pleasantries, Princess Wu got straight to the point.

Zhou Lingwang smiled slightly: "As entrusted by the empress, I have something important to find His Royal Highness King Wu."

As soon as she said this, Concubine Wu understood the deep meaning of her words. Since she came to find King Wu, it meant that it was a very important matter and should not be easily discussed with others.

Concubine Wu has been in charge of the palace for many years, and she is not stupid. Seeing this, she did not continue to ask questions, but asked Zhou Lingwang's words: "So that's the case. The prince has gone to Menggong's place. I'm afraid Mrs. Zhou will have to wait." a little while."

Zhou Lingwang smiled slightly, "It's okay."

Concubine Wu continued: "If the empress has important matters to entrust, in fact, all she needs to do is call the concubine into the palace, why bother the lady with all the trouble?"

This is what is going on in the palace.If the queen had the chance, how could she ask someone else to tell her, and this person is a woman from the Zhou family.

Although she doesn't intervene much in government affairs, she still has heard a little about Jinshang's favor and trust in Guan Zhi.The Holy Majesty has not gone to court today,

But thinking about it, he couldn't hide what he knew, and he didn't know what kind of bloody storm the queen would endure.

"Don't dare to be, the queen mother said, His Royal Highness Wu Wang is the head of the clan, how can he be driven at will?"

Since it is necessary to drive the head of the clan, it shows one thing, this matter is of great importance.

Concubine Wu has a measure in her heart, but she really can't figure out how the Empress Empress got involved with Zhou's daughter.

Could it be that the empress favored the Zhou family.This doesn't look like it, if so, Zhou Fa wouldn't be suppressed in Miyagi yesterday.

She was thinking about how to ask, when she heard a report from someone outside: "Princess, the prince is back."

Princess Wu took a look at Zhou Lingwang, and asked someone to lead Zhou Lingwang over.

When King Wu heard the report, he felt strange that the queen had something worth ordering, and it was not unusual for someone to send a message, but it was strange that the queen let a woman from the Zhou family send a message.

But he didn't refuse, and asked Zhou Lingwang to be brought here. Although he didn't like the Zhou family, he had no intention of dealing with this little girl of the Zhou family, let alone obeying the queen's order.

After Zhou Lingwang saluted and stood up, he recounted everything.

King Wu's face darkened little by little, "Did you bring that pill?"

"Of course I dare not go." Zhou Lingwang nodded and offered the pill.

There are several doctors in King Wu's palace in case of emergencies. After all, it is not always possible to call the imperial doctor.It was just right now, and it was also in use. Thinking of this, he quickly called someone over.

The doctor took a look at the pills, then nodded towards King Wu with a serious expression.

King Wu's heart sank, he waved his hand and told the doctor to step back.

"Is this found in the Tai Chi Hall?"

Zhou Lingwang nodded, and then added: "The Empress watched the Holy Majesty take food with her own eyes."

King Wu's heart sank, "The forbidden area of ​​the palace gate, where did such a thing come from?"

At the beginning, there was a lot of noise about the Yuhua Pill, but now it has been revealed in less than a year, and it is still in the palace of the Holy Majesty.

Zhou Lingwang's brows darkened slightly: "The empress didn't know, the incident happened so suddenly that the empress had no time to investigate, so she ordered the courtiers to send out the Yuhua Pill, just to ask King Wu to investigate."

How else could it be sent in?Who couldn't see that Guan Zhi did what happened to Yuhua Pill back then?What happened today, could it be someone else?Reminiscent of His Majesty's doting on Guan Zhi during this period of time, can you still think of who did it?
If Zhou Lingwang didn't say this, King Wu would have guessed it.

"Although a person dies, evil never ends." King Wu sighed.

"How about the empress?" King Wu asked again.

"I don't know for the time being." Zhou Lingwang shook his head lightly, and continued to ask: "The matter has come to this, I wonder how His Royal Highness King Wu wants to deal with it?"

King Wu pursed his lips, the matter has come to this point, the best way is naturally to ask Emperor Yuan Jia to quit, then everyone can naturally act as if nothing happened.

But this is almost impossible, he has never taken Yuhua Dan, but he has seen people who have taken it, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to quit.

How to quit unless you use strong means?
But the person who takes the Yuhua Pill is the emperor, no matter how incompetent he is, he is still an emperor, a grown-up emperor, if he uses it forcefully, then what is the majesty of the emperor?

But if he let it go, without Guan Zhi's connection, no one can satisfy his demand for Yuhua Pill, what should he do?What will happen again.

Dilemma.

It could only be that Emperor Yuanjia himself was determined and took the initiative to quit.But since it is a voluntary quit, someone must mention it to the Holy One.

This matter can't make a big splash, otherwise, it will be unimaginable, and it will become unimaginable among the people, and the imperial decree will no longer be effective.What is good at the top is bound to be bad at the bottom. Once this matter gets out, Yuhua Pills will definitely spread in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Then the only one who can be relied on is the queen, let the queen persuade the emperor, if it is good, it will be fine.But now the Queen's situation in the palace is probably not good.When the empress punishes the eunuch, the empress must be estranged.

How could the Queen persuade the Holy Majesty.

"The Empress, what kind of attention are you taking?" King Wu couldn't help asking.

Zhou Lingwang's eyes drooped slightly, this idea is really difficult to grasp.

"You are the head of the clan, so it's better for you to advise in private. If the Holy One can quit, everyone will be happy."

King Wu naturally knew this truth, but what he wanted to know more was, what if he couldn't?If you can't get in, what should you do?

Zhou Lingwang lowered his head, the queen didn't give an exact idea, but she had an idea.

If you have been persuaded, you will not enter.Well, with this outburst, I'm afraid it will intensify, and sooner or later everyone will know that there will be trouble.

If the sage is unwilling to leave the way for the sage, then there is no need to stop him.

"What if this method doesn't work?" King Wu asked again.

Zhou Lingwang pondered for a while, and then said, "The court lady left the palace in a hurry, and the empress has not told her, but the court lady has a plan. It's better to just cut off your fingers to survive, and abolish the emperor and establish a new one."

"Bold!" King Wu's expression changed, and he quickly reprimanded: "How dare you make such reckless remarks in my palace. Based on your words, this king can send you to the Ministry of Punishment."

He didn't expect Zhou's daughter to be so courageous, and he looked at her with surprise and scrutiny.

She is so courageous. Although the Zhou family supported the establishment today, what is it for them to be emperors? Is this what they want to establish and abolish when they want to?
People from aristocratic families are really domineering.

He also suspected why Zhou's daughter came out to summon the messenger, but he thought it was sent by the empress, so he didn't pursue it too much.

After all, the queen is not an ordinary woman, she must have her own reasons for sending this person out.But I never thought that she would dare to speak such nonsense.Now that I think about it, it might be Zhou's conspiracy to deliberately send this person to confuse the queen.

Although King Wu was the head of the clan, Zhou Lingwang was not afraid at all. She continued: "Since he ascended the throne, the Holy Majesty has not achieved much, and his family and country have been ruined. If you still take Yuhua Pill and don't know how to repent, what are you doing?"
If forceful means are used to force him to abstain from alchemy, then the majesty of the emperor will be lost, and no one will pay attention to the imperial decree in the future.Furthermore, with today's mind, after Jiedan, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take revenge on the courtiers who helped him to quit the pill. Now that Gu Hou has a separate regime, he will suppress the virtuous officials again.In less than a year, the world will surely revolt and the country will perish.

If it is left to its own devices, it will definitely get worse and worse. Once it spreads, the court's decree will become a dead letter without any credibility. As far as the country is concerned, it will perish even if it does not die.

It's better to abolish the emperor. In this way, although the authority of the emperor is damaged, it can at least rectify the law of the country.If all the sons of heaven are abolished for violating this law, who in the world would dare to disobey this law? "

"You...you...you are so courageous." King Wu was in a hurry. Since she dared to publicly say that the Holy Majesty has no achievements and is narrow-minded, this is a serious crime, but she still dared to say it, and today's words spread In a word, let alone the daughter of the Zhou family in front of her, even the Zhou family behind her may not have a good ending.

"The Son of Heaven has seven contending ministers. Although they have no way, they will not lose the world. If the government and the public have no one to speak out, I am afraid that the country will suffer for a long time. The ministers and daughters can only express their opinions, so why are they so timid?" Zhou Lingwang was not afraid.

When King Wu heard the words, his anger calmed down a little. Seeing her extraordinary conversation, he scrutinized her a little bit more. Thinking about her words just now, he felt that they were somewhat reasonable.

It's just that the surprise hasn't faded. After all, the truth is the truth, but it's another matter to say it.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, it has been a long time since such sharp remarks were made.

In fact, during the period of Taizu Taizong, the censors in the court scolded each other very much, such as Mrs. Zhou's words, and he had seen such scenes.

The king at that time was the founding king, with great power in his hands, and the barbarians feasted on the Qing, he was the real king who held life and death in his hands.

But such a monarch can tolerate such remarks from his officials.Now, however, the important ministers in the court had to follow his wishes, and he was easily instigated by traitors, causing loyal ministers and good generals to abandon Northern Qi.

The authority of the emperor is indeed important, but a truly wise monarch can maintain a balance between the authority of the emperor and the outspokenness of his courtiers.

Obviously, there is no such ability today.
