Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 93
Then she should help him even more!

Sheng Shaoqing called Jin Lianqiao and said, "Who knows when Prime Minister Ji came today?"

Lian Qiao tilted her head and thought for a while, "Except for the Queen Mother, everyone on duty in the office should know about it."

"Is Liu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites here?"

Lianqiao nodded, "This servant girl has an impression. When the maidservant went to invite the prime minister, the prime minister also greeted the people in the office. It seemed that there was someone like Liu Shilang. Cheng sorted it out!"

While Sheng Shaoqing lamented that Ji Wenxuan had exhausted his plans, he gradually felt relieved. What Liu Shilang loves to inquire about is these speculative things. If she doesn't need to do anything, tomorrow most people will know that Ji Wenxuan and his daughter are determined. To sever the relationship, the empress dowager tried to persuade him to no avail.

"It's okay, you go down first."

Lianqiao bowed in doubt and retreated, only then did Sheng Shaoqing turn his head and remember that there was Mrs. Li in this room.

"Go on."

Mrs. Li looked puzzled, but her heart was anxious. She was interrupted by the Queen Mother just now, where did she just say?

Sheng Shaoqing saw that Mrs. Li opened her mouth to speak, but her brows were tightly knit together, without making a sound, she thought for a while and continued, "You just said that this matter is of great importance, and it is no longer a matter of the Li family."

Only then did Mrs. Li understand, "If the Empress Dowager came to track down the stolen goods, I already knew that many sons of aristocratic families were involved, otherwise I wouldn't have added the names of those sons and daughters to your majesty's accompanying list."

Sheng Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, "You're still very well informed."

She changed the people in Yilan Courtyard completely, but she couldn't stop the news.

Mrs. Li smiled wryly, "There is no one trustworthy around my concubine."

Li Lingjiang also noticed the Queen Mother's actions, and specially asked her to test whether the Queen Mother had also noticed Li Shi.

"Then do you think Aijia's method is feasible?"

Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, "Although this method is effective, it can only be used for a while."

"They are just abandoning their sons. Even if they are all imprisoned and lured with temporary benefits, when they wake up, they will still fight against the court."

"What's more, if the Queen Mother goes to investigate, many people have already been stolen and turned into phoenixes. Even if they are in prison, they are the same as at home."

Sheng Shaoqing:? ? ? ? ?

From Sheng Shaoqing's expression, Mrs. Li knew that the Queen Mother didn't know about it, so she had to patiently explain to the Queen Mother, "I've heard about it before when I'm still in my boudoir.

"Wen prison, one is that the family is very prominent, and the other is that people in prison can be paid a lot of money to make them feel like they are at home. They are entertained with good wine and good food, live in a warm quilt, and wear silk and satin. , except that he is a prisoner, he is no different from ordinary people.”

"Then this Martial Prison is just the opposite. It is prepared for poor and lowly families. Not to mention the poor environment, they often do not provide food. Therefore, many people are starved to death before they can stand trial."

Sheng Shaoqing said angrily, "How dare they!"

Mrs. Li said sadly, "After the Jin Dynasty, many aristocratic families have declined, but after all, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Although the imperial court does not reuse these aristocratic families, the aristocratic families can still dominate one side."

Desires are hard to satisfy, never satisfied!
With the privilege so far, is it necessary for the imperial court to listen to them? !

Let's focus on their Spring and Autumn Dream of recovering the Jinchao and Banchao aristocratic families!
"The concubine said something disrespectful. Compared with Nanjing and Helian, my Chaogen is really too weak."

Not only Mrs. Li understands this, everyone in Beiliang who has some knowledge and culture, and understands why Beiliang established the country, can't be more clear. Although Nanjing usurped the throne of the Jin Dynasty, he also inherited the Jin Dynasty. All, so even if those aristocratic families were forced to move south at the beginning, now they all regard themselves as orthodox and secretly belittle the northern Liang aristocratic families.

Not to mention the Helian tribe, since ancient times, they have roamed across the endless grasslands and deserts.

Only the ancestors of Beiliang, who came from outside the pass, conquered the city all the way, and established Beiliang on this fertile land.

But the people on this land are all Han Chinese.

Therefore, only Beiliang has the weakest mass foundation. After a few years without embarrassment or embarrassment, they finally followed the example of Nanjing and established six imperial courts to govern all affairs in the world.

However, the old ministers outside the pass still maintain some habits of the grassland tribes. Even if they hold high positions, their basic quality has not been greatly improved.

However, Sheng Shaoqing was a little surprised when these words came out of Mrs. Li's mouth.

Even if it is a fact that everyone knows well, once it is said, it may cause a fatal disaster.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Mrs. Li said solemnly, "I naturally understand."

"The concubine had thought very clearly before coming here. Instead of resigning herself to fate and being treated like a chess piece, it's better to give it a go and have no regrets."

"My concubine was born in the Li family, so I can naturally be the eyes of the queen mother in the Li family, always looking out for the queen mother."

"Li Lanqing", Sheng Shaoqing asked suddenly, "You, the late emperor, if you were the late emperor today, would you still say these things?"

Mrs. Li hadn't been called by her full name for several years, she was stunned for a long time before she smiled wryly, "If it's the first emperor, I'm afraid I won't be able to say these things."

If the first emperor knew that he had stolen the palace, she wouldn't have waited to ask why, she would have already got a white silk, so why would she dare to say such things.

Mrs. Li continued, "Or maybe, before the late Emperor gave her death, the Li family of Jiangzhou had already hanged her concubine, saying that she committed suicide in fear of crime."

After all, there is no way out.

Sheng Shaoqing was amused by Mrs. Li's cold humor, but felt a deep chill dissipated. She admitted that she had something to do with designing Mrs. Li, but that was the best remedy she thought of after she couldn't bear to kill Mrs. Li.

She didn't even dare to kill a fish, and it would be impossible for her to kill someone else.

But in the future, will she also become a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals?
Or, was it completely assimilated into a monster that disregarded life?

Mrs. Li continued in Sheng Shaoqing's bewilderment, "The concubine has no way out now. The Li family in Jiangzhou is only related to the concubine's younger brother. I only ask the queen mother to save his life when the Li family is destroyed."

"Do you really believe that Aijia will succeed?"

Mrs. Li hesitated, "Even if the Li family united with many families, most of them are mobs. As long as the queen mother goes down in a thunderous manner, once the Li family collapses, the others will naturally fall and the monkeys will be scattered. There is no problem."

Anyway, Mrs. Li didn't treat her as a human being, so why did she bother to work for them and be implicated by them.

Sheng Shaoqing smiled, "Do you think Aijia has never thought about it?"

"Have you ever thought about it, if they attack the Li family directly, they will instead unite to fight against the imperial court, so what?"

These aristocratic families are scattered all over the place, and they are all existences that can dominate one side. If they are united, they are also a force that cannot be underestimated. Even a single spark can start a prairie fire, let alone these behemoths.

Otherwise, why didn't she just take those children from the aristocratic family out and behead them, why did she hesitate for so long?

"This..." Mrs. Li hesitated, "This concubine has never thought about it."

She has always been like this, doing what she says. In the past, Mrs. Li was polite, and she reluctantly helped them do things, but she committed suicide and went to prison. None of Mrs. Li's people came to rescue her. Since they are not benevolent, don't blame them She is innocent.

Looking at Mrs. Li's expression, Sheng Shaoqing knew that he guessed right. Mrs. Li was definitely a hothead, and she just rushed and it was over, without thinking about the consequences at all.

"You go back first, Aijia already understands the purpose of your visit today, but Aijia doesn't like these twists and turns, do you understand?"

Mrs. Li nodded, and silently backed out, so she won't have to kneel down and beg for this move again next time.

Seeing Mrs. Li coming out after so long, Siyun endured the pain in her knee and hurried forward to ask, "The Queen Mother?"

Mrs. Li said indifferently, "The Empress Dowager didn't suspect Mrs. Li, she only blamed me for being greedy for money, which allowed Wang Cui to take advantage of her loopholes and planted the blame on me. I'm afraid the other news leaked out elsewhere."

After hearing this, Siyun breathed a sigh of relief, and helped Mrs. Li back to the Yilan Courtyard.

Luzhu, who came out to greet her, saw the two men limping back, her heart sank suddenly, could it be that the queen mother refused to see his wife?

"Siyun, go get some hot water. Bengong needs to take a bath. Then go to the Tai Hospital to find some ointment. You also knelt with Bengong for a long time. Go and have a good rest after sending it here."

Siyun heard the words and went to follow the rules, and Luzhu quickly took Mrs. Li and helped her into the inner courtyard.

As soon as Mrs. Li stepped into the room, she immediately turned around and closed the door tightly. She quickly pulled the green beads and walked into the inner room.

"Ma'am, your leg...?"

"I'm fine. The queen mother rewarded me with a cushion. Although I knelt for a long time, it's fine if I slow down for a while. Only that idiot Siyun insisted on going to accompany me instead of you. She suffered a lot of sadness for nothing. Her pair of eyes After kneeling on the icy ground for so long, I am afraid that my legs will be useless."

Luzhu was dumbfounded when she heard the words, "Then the Queen Mother."

Mrs. Li nodded, "You are right. The Queen Mother really has other plans. However, thanks to your idea, our lives can be regarded as saved."

Luzhu frowned and said, "At the beginning, the servant girl persuaded you that what Mr. Xiao Lang planned was too dangerous, so why did you get involved in it? Later, when something happened to you, he didn't care about your life or death."

Mrs. Li almost shed tears and said, "I really raised a white-eyed wolf. It's better to raise a dog. The dog knows how to wag its tail at its owner. When his parents died young, which relatives in the family didn't look at our sister?" My brother is so bullying, I begged to go to my grandfather's house, so we could eat together, but he turned around and went with that group of people in the clan."

"Did the Queen Mother agree to suppress Li Shi?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "The Empress Dowager still has concerns, but the Empress Dowager's words already have the intention of shaking up the family. Since she has this intention, she is not afraid that she will not be able to wait until this day."

"The servant girl is afraid." Luzhu didn't finish her sentence, she just glanced lightly outside, Madam Li understood, and then said, "I'm afraid Siyun won't be able to move for a while, the queen mother has changed the people around me , this Siyun is the first person sent by Li Shi, if it is changed, I am afraid that I don’t know how many people will be sent in, so it is better to keep it, which will save a lot of trouble."

"As long as the Empress Dowager is willing to believe in you, and Wang Cui dies without proof, your life will be easier in the future."

Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Wang Cui is also unlucky, and fell into the hands of brother, so naturally I can't let her spit out anything."

"However, I am a little apprehensive looking at the Empress Dowager now, and she is a bit more aggressive than the late Emperor. The late Emperor is hard enough to fathom, but the Empress Dowager is even more elusive than his thoughts."

Luzhu smiled and said nothing, why not become the queen mother?

Mrs. Li muttered to herself, "I have never seen the Queen Mother have such an aura before."

Lu Zhu continued, "I never saw Mr. Xiao Lang being so rebellious before."

How cute was the little man when he was a child, like a little meat ball, he followed his master behind and called his sister, and when the brothers and sisters in the clan bullied his wife, he would be the first to rush up and block behind his wife.

Everything has changed since the time when Mr. Xiao fell into the lake. Later, Mr. Mr. Xiao got along with the group of people who bullied them. Life has become much easier, and his wife's jewelry has become more and more luxurious. But the smile on Madam's face became less and less.

Mrs. Li fell silent when she heard Lu Zhu's words, and Lu Zhu also knew that she had slipped her words, so she hurriedly made amends, "Madam has worked so long, the servant girl warmed up ginseng soup for Madam in the small kitchen, Madam can drink it while it is hot and have a good rest."

Mrs. Li doesn't know that her younger brother is not clear about her brother's rebellion, but in the end it is her own brother. She was just deceiving herself in the past, but now she has to face the bloody reality. It would be a lie to say that she is not sad.

Since Mrs. Li left, Sheng Shaoqing has been thinking. Now that Princess Lin Yang wants to get rid of Wei Zhen, that is to suppress the old ministers outside the pass. However, if Mrs. Li's family is in trouble, it should not be underestimated. The seesaw between the two is now It has reached a precarious situation, and a little carelessness may cause turmoil. How to make a choice is in her mind.

Neighbor Helian has a different heart again, she is really troubled both internally and externally.

"What kind of mess did you throw to me, the system!!!"

The system did not respond, and Sheng Shaoqing knew that the artificial mentally handicapped person should not be online yet.

However, Mrs. Li reminded her that choosing Che'er to read as a companion has been delayed until now. She wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve palace banquet to visit those children, but she did not expect that the good position arranged by Chang Dajian would let her None of them looked.

Just thinking about this, Yuan Che ran in quickly, and showed Sheng Shaoqing the little wooden horse in his hand as if asking for credit.

"This is... a small wooden horse?"

Yuan Che nodded happily, "Guess who made this, Queen Mother?!"

Sheng Shaoqing pretended to think for a while and said, "Could it be Che'er?"

Yuan Che nodded heavily, then shook his head lightly, "My mother is only half right."

"Then, is there anyone else with you?"

Yuan Che smiled shyly, and waved to the back, "Come in!"

A child about the same age as Yuan Che walked in and knelt tremblingly in front of Sheng Shaoqing.

"My...my lord, see you... see the empress dowager, the empress dowager... Changle Weiyang."

Yuan Che took the handkerchief handed over by the little eunuch and wiped his sweat, and said to the child kneeling on the ground, "A-Ning, don't be afraid, the queen mother is very gentle."
