Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 77
It's no wonder that when she first went to court, Wei Zhen was so proficient in doing Sapo rolling. This tactic has been practiced by him for many years, and the skill has been perfected. The key is that every time he uses it, he can get the desired result. , It can be understood after using it a few times.

However, according to Sheng Shaoqing's conclusion, this was purely a problem he was used to. Emperor Jing and the first emperor both wanted face too much, so they raised Wei Zhen's heart and left such a mess for her to clean up.

After staying up all night, when Sheng Shaoqing went to court the next day, when he saw Wei Zhen, the fire in Sheng Shaoqing's eyes almost burst out.

If it wasn't for him, would she have survived like this? !

If it weren't for the beauty and body shaping function, it would be useful, otherwise her dark circles would probably fall to the ground today.

However, needless to say, the effect of this function is really immediate. It is more effective than black bandages and fairy water. Not only can you not see the traces of staying up late when you get up and do your makeup, but your face is more rosy, and even your skin is two points fairer.

Although he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, Sheng Shaoqing was very satisfied with the result.

However, Wei Zhen, who was kneeling below, was beating a drum in his heart. The Empress Dowager looked at him very unkindly today, and he secretly looked up several times.They all looked at each other with the Empress Dowager, the chill in their eyes was colder than the obsidian slabs on the hall!

Could it be that the queen mother is angry with this rumor?

Then he can't be blamed, it's because the Queen Mother herself is not upright, if she insisted on supporting that Yunzhi and gave him a face, he wouldn't be able to argue with the Queen Mother!

what is that?

Could it be that the Empress Dowager knew that she was the one who persuaded those adults who were murdered by the Feng family to go to Yushitai to file a complaint?

Although he did this unethically, the Feng family started the fire first, and at best he just added to the fire.

After thinking about it, he really didn't think of one or two.

When he retired from the imperial court, the emperor led Sheng Shaoqing to Wei Zhen, and said to Wei Zhen, "I still have some doubts about what my lord taught me yesterday. I wonder if lord Wei can teach me one or two more today?"

Wei Zhen just wanted to agree, but inadvertently recalled yesterday when he talked about Xingchu, he talked about all kinds of disasters about Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, when he looked up at the Empress Dowager, Wei Zhen's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.

It's over!Yesterday, I was talking about a thousand words of gold. Seeing the emperor's cute and studious appearance, I couldn't help but think of my naughty son. When I was a child, I was so tireless in asking him the truth of the world. In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. The dutiful son has become a naughty son. The woman made a mess of the house, and now she ran away from home and disappeared, which really pissed off this old man.

Then, the scene got out of hand.

What else did he say?

"Success is Zhao Ji, and defeat is Zhao Ji?"

"Heavenly law cycle, cause and effect are destined?"

Recalling every single word made Wei Zhen dizzy for a while.

What the hell did he say? !
No wonder the queen mother looked at him like this, this, this, this! !

Your Majesty's mouth is so fast!I'm afraid I have already handed everything over to the Queen Mother!
"Well, I have something to discuss with the Empress Dowager, can your Majesty wait for my reply before clarifying the confusion?"

He felt that he still had hope of being rescued!
Yuan Che nodded obediently, let go of Sheng Shaoqing's hand, and was about to go out to find the tutor first.

However, Sheng Shaoqing stopped Yuan Che and said to Wei Zhen, "Since Yuan Che has a question to ask, how about explaining it to him first, and discussing the matter later?"

She couldn't let Wei Zhen and Che'er be alone in the same room anymore. I don't know what Wei Zhen with a bad belly taught me!
The sweat on Wei Zhen's forehead became more and more unstoppable, dripping down his cheeks and falling to the ground.

"Master Wei, what's wrong with your body? Otherwise, why don't you go back to rest and come back when you feel better?"

Wei Zheng just shook his head, and wanted to nod again in his heart, but his head started to swing uncontrollably.

Sheng Shaoqing patted Yuan Che, and Yuan Che understood that his mother asked him to ask questions, so he said in a childlike voice, "Master Wei, I don't understand what you said about the changes in Qinian Palace yesterday, can you please continue to talk about it, Mr. Wei? "

As soon as Yuan Che's words fell, Wei Zhen felt dizzy again. How could this child say the most deadly words with the cutest voice.

"this and that"

"In April of the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng, Yingzheng went to Yongcheng where Queen Mother Zhao was. Lai Ai stole Qin King's Seal and Queen Mother's Seal because of her crimes, and used them to mobilize the garrison and nearby local troops to attack Qinian Palace. King Qin noticed this. In this matter, he ordered Lord Changping and Lord Changwen of Xiangguo to launch soldiers to attack Lai Ai. The two armies fought in Xianyang, and Lai Ai fell since then. This is the change of Qinian Palace."

Sheng Shaoqing finished the whole story in a calm tone, and then asked, "Master Wei, what's so hard to say?"

Damn it!

Sheng Shaoqing only went to the system to make up for this paragraph yesterday, and Wei Zhen bumped into him again today, so she simply said it in the open, and she wanted to see how Wei Zhen was doing, and after she finished speaking, she stared at Wei Zhen closely, watching How he reacted.

Only at this time did Wei Zhen understand what it felt like a thorn in his throat and a thorn in his back. It was really painful for him to lift a rock and hit his own foot.

It would be fine if there were no previous incidents, but it took a lot of trouble for Ji Nu that day to find out that those incidents in his family were all accidental rumors from the palace, so he knew that the Queen Mother knew that the rumors in the past few days were his own hands and feet up.

And the queen mother is just using her own way to treat her body and give him a wake-up call.

At that time, he wasn't afraid that the Queen Mother would mobilize people to question him because of this, after all, it would not look good if it was brought up on the bright side, and he was sure of this at the beginning, and the Queen Mother would definitely swallow this stupid loss, so he dared to let it go.

But after this incident, these words came out of his mouth again, saying that he was unintentional, and no one would believe it.

In the past, those were just small fights, but if the emperor was involved, and it was the most important issue of provoking the relationship between mother and child, judging from the usual performance of the queen mother, I am afraid she would not let him go.

"Yes...it's not hard to say...it's just that Wei Chen didn't remember it for a while."

Sheng Shaoqing sarcastically said, "Master Wei has always been well-informed and knowledgeable, so there will be times when he is speechless?"

Wei Zhen's touting book is full of quotations and beautiful words, why can't he remember the change of Qi Nian Palace that he made a generous statement yesterday?

I'm afraid I'm not guilty.

Wei Zhen, who had a guilty conscience, was very entangled. The queen mother must have thought that she deliberately told His Majesty these things to sow discord, but he knew that the queen mother had misunderstood, but he couldn't take the initiative to say it. He couldn't say it. When he told His Majesty the idioms, he mentioned the story of Lu Buwei?
Isn't this going to the grave to burn hay, fooling ghosts? !
Yuan Che said pleasantly from the side, "It turns out that the queen mother knows! If I knew it earlier, I would..."

"Don't ask." Before he could say the three words, Yuan Che realized something, swallowed it abruptly, and tugged at Sheng Shaoqing's sleeve in embarrassment. Untie it, Master Wei, do you have something to report?"

Wei Zhen hurriedly said nothing, and Sheng Shaoqing led Yuan Che out of the Palace of Qinzheng without looking back.

When the footsteps of two people, one big and one small, gradually faded away, Wei Zhen in the main hall heaved a sigh of relief and slumped on the ground.

After taking a deep breath, Wei Zhen stood up tremblingly leaning on the floor, rubbed his numb calves, patted the dust on his knees, straightened his sleeves, and walked out slowly.

Walking to the door, Wei Zhen supported the palace door, looking at the rising sun in the distance, feeling depressed for a while, covered the slightly glaring sunlight with his sleeve, and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

Until he boarded the carriage back home, Wei Zhen couldn't recover from his depressed mood.

The Jinu who came to greet him saw that the Patriarch's expression was not good, so he didn't dare to speak, and silently helped Wei Zhen into the door.

"Did the eldest son find it?"

Seeing Jinu, Wei Zhen seemed to have thought of something, and asked feebly.

Ji Nu shook his head, "Not yet."

"This bastard... oh, where did he go!"

Jinu watched Wei Zhen's expression carefully and said, "I have searched all the places you often go to, but you can't find him. I wonder if you have already left the capital?"

Wei Zhen lowered his head and thought for a while, "Probably not."

Jinu helped Wei Zhen into the study room, and was about to pour tea for Wei Zhen, but Wei Zhen waved him out, "You go find it again, even if you turn the capital upside down, give me Wei Rong Find this traitor!"

Jinu backed out with an "Ai", leaving Wei Zhen alone in the study, thinking silently.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, where can this rebellious son go?

Sheng Shaoqing, who had returned to the Palace of Eternal Light, hadn't had a long break when Supervisor Chang came to the door with the papers.

"Empress Dowager, after the test yesterday, do you want to let these candidates go home?"

While flipping through the test papers, Sheng Shaoqing replied to Supervisor Chang, "No, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let them attend the banquet together."

Chang Dajian nodded to express his understanding, and then asked, "Empress Dowager, speaking of the New Year's Eve banquet, I have one more matter that I would like to ask Empress Dowager to decide."

Sheng Shaoqing nodded, and Chang Dajian continued, "In the past, the New Year's Eve banquet was held in Fengying Hall, but this year, the Nanjing Mission came to visit. In order to demonstrate the national strength of our dynasty, should we change it to Hanzhang Terrace?"

"Nanjing Mission?"

Chang Dajian rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Don't the Queen Mother know?"

"This Ai family knows, but is this their first time coming this year?"

Chang Dajian thought it was the negligence of the officials of Honglu Temple, and was sweating, when he heard what the queen mother said, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's not true, in the third year of Emperor Jing's Taihe, the Nanjing mission also came However, at that time, the master of Nanjing was still the Xiao family, and a few years later, the Liu family had already been replaced in this Nanjing world."

"Then change it to Hanzhangtai."

It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar. It's a big Chinese New Year, so don't wrong the guests.

The further Sheng Shaoqing turned her brows back, the tighter her brows became, until in the end, her brows were all twisted into a rope. What are these children doing!

The answers to regular questions like the Four Books and Five Classics were not bad, but she almost completely wiped out the problems of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, drainage and water storage.

She clearly remembered that the problem of chickens and rabbits sharing the same cage existed in ancient times, why did no one know about it? !
"Doesn't the schools outside the palace teach arithmetic?" Sheng Shaoqing raised his head and asked.

Cui Yun and Chang Dajian in front of them looked at each other, but they didn't know who the Queen Mother was asking.

After an awkward silence, Cui Yun took the lead to answer, "Weichen's home school has an arithmetic department, but the brothers in the family still have more scriptures."

Chang Dajian also smiled awkwardly, "There is no school in Weichen's house, it's just that the folks mostly regard arithmetic as a trivial skill, after all...after all..."

Seeing Chang Dajian's hesitation, Sheng Shaoqing could only stretch his brows, and said gently, "Tell me, Aijia will not punish you."

"After all, which of the children of the aristocratic family needs to do the calculation in person?"

These people don't need to do anything from buying a house and land to buying vegetables in a vegetable market.

Chang Dajian's sincerity once again moved Sheng Shaoqing. Although Chang Dajian was a little stunned, he was a rare person who dared to tell the truth.

Sheng Shaoqing calmed down and said, "You can't count the numbers, so what do you do if you learn so much?!"

Now we can only choose generals from among the dwarves, let's pick slowly and carefully.

After reading for a whole morning, Sheng Shaoqing managed to pick out seven papers that he hadn't seen before.

"Chang Dajian, you should go back first. After the New Year's Eve banquet, you can arrange the seats of these seven people closer together. The Ai family has to observe it in person, but it must be kept secret. If the news gets out, the Ai family is the only one to ask!"

Chang Dajian knelt down with a "plop", "I don't dare! I don't dare!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had no other orders, Chang Dajian also retreated, met Lianqiao who came in around the corner to salute, didn't bother to answer, and walked out wiping his sweat.

"Why is it like losing your soul every time you go out of the Palace of Eternal Light?" Lian Qiao mumbled and walked into the apse, and said to the Queen Mother and Cui Yun, "The imperial dining room sent a list for the night banquet, the Queen Mother wants to have a look at it?"

menu?

Sheng Shaoqing became excited at once, and waited for Lianqiao to bring over a thick stack of books. Seeing that although the paintings were abstract, she could still see delicious dishes, and exclaimed, this menu is indeed much better than the papers up.

"Isn't this crystal elbow one case per person a little bit?"

Lianqiao and Cui Yun looked at each other, "Empress Dowager, this case is so big!" Lianqiao made her hands bigger than her two faces, and said, "There are quite a few!"

"Besides, there may be five or six hundred people at the banquet. This dish really cost a fortune!"

"Five to 600 people?! There are not so many people in court every day!" Sheng Shaoqing was so shocked that he could put a fist in his mouth.

Cui Yun said helplessly, "Empress Dowager, the only officials you can see at court every day are officials above the fifth rank. There are still many officials in Beijing who are not blessed to see the sky. The night banquet is still limited to only officials above the seventh rank." Only officials can go to the banquet, otherwise, the entire palace might not be able to sit down!"

Sure enough, at the foot of the imperial city, a brick fell from the sky, and all the officials were killed.
