I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 15 I'm still here!
In the front hall, Deng Sui, the Empress Dowager of the Great Han Dynasty, was waiting with her eyes closed, and beside her was a woman with a nervous expression.

It's Deng Sui's husband, and the strange woman of this big man, Ban Zhao from the Ban family!
"The Queen Mother."

"Why, sir, are you a little nervous?" After seeing this scene, Deng Sui couldn't help showing a little smile, "Looking at the appearance of sir, he seems to be a little panicked."

"You made the empress dowager laugh!" Ban Zhao let out a helpless wry smile after hearing Deng Sui's words, "Although this minister is favored by both the late emperor and the empress dowager.

But the minister is just a woman.

Being able to help the queen mother handle the government affairs of the court has already been favored by the queen mother, and now she appears here in a grandiose manner.

The empress dowager was really afraid that this would cause some dissatisfaction in the hearts of all the ministers.

I'll wait then."

"Don't worry!" Deng Sui chuckled directly, "I'm afraid they already know that you are helping me handle government affairs behind the scenes!"

"Huh?" After hearing this, Ban Zhao instinctively whispered, but soon she reacted and smiled wryly at Deng Sui.

"The Empress Dowager is right, I am afraid that there are no secrets in this court.

The minister helps the Queen Mother handle government affairs in the palace, but the government affairs will have to be conveyed in the end.

But the servants who did these things, the Zhongchang servants, the provincial ministers, the Huangmen servants, and so on.

All these trusted and close ministers in the palace are already children of various families.

In their eyes, maybe we are the ones who should be concealed, and who can hide all the big and small things in the palace?

It's just that they haven't said anything about it yet, probably because they don't want to directly reveal such things on the spot.

If the Empress Dowager insists on letting the ministers stay here, I'm afraid they will take the opportunity."

"Even if this Palace hides Mr. for a lifetime, can they really ignore this matter?"

Deng Sui sneered directly, then quickly recovered his calm face, and spoke again after a last light cough.

"Sir, I am afraid that I am very clear that I am not relying on their pity to do this now!

Those people never gave up trying to take away the power of the big man from Bengong's hands, even if there is only one name left in Bengong's hands.

They even want to take away the right of this curtain regency!
Maybe these people are really loyal ministers and generals of my great man, and they are also famous and loyal ministers who were loyal and loyal when the late emperor was alive.

But their loyalty can be rewarded, and their skill can never be doubted.

But the authority of this big man must be in the hands of the royal family, and no one can change this! "

When Deng Sui said these words, the expression on her face was extremely firm, and she looked like a different person from the once kind her.

And Ban Zhao on the side couldn't help but twitch his lips after seeing this scene, wanting to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Just when Ban Zhao thought about something and wanted to say something, there was finally a sound of close footsteps outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a servant came to report, and most of the three princes and nine ministers arrived together.
As for why the vast majority
"Where's Sikong? Why isn't Chen Sikong here?"

When Deng Sui saw the person coming, his face suddenly became a little stiff.

For a moment, a little panic was born in my heart again.

Since Emperor Guangwu of the Great Han Dynasty revived, the position of prime minister has been completely abolished. Not only that, official positions such as doctor censor and great Sima have hardly been established.

Instead, Situ, Sikong, Taiwei and Jiuqing headed by Taichang are in charge of the court.

Although for so many years, the big man has already known that these three princes have been gradually replaced. Although their official positions are high, their real power is not great.

But after all, the three princes are the leaders of the courtiers in the world, and the people who serve as the three princes are also well-known celebrities in the court and even in the world.

Among the three princes in the court today, only Sikong and Chen Chong are most devoted to Deng Sui.

It's not that Chen Chong has any friendship with Deng Sui, but that Chen Chong doesn't want to do too much to fight for power and profit when he is old.

In addition, this old Sikong has a very good personality and never cares about anything.

This was already the case when he was in charge of prison affairs, so although this Sikong Chen Chong usually doesn't talk much.

But it can be regarded as half of Deng Sui's support.

But now, when Deng Sui looked at the completely empty Sikong position, the expression on his forehead finally changed somewhat.

"Sikong, but he hasn't arrived yet?
Then I'll wait for a day or two."

"Please forgive me, Empress Dowager!" At this time, among the ministers, the chief minister Bao De walked out slowly and bowed to Deng Sui.

"This morning, news suddenly came from Sikong's mansion.

It is said that Sikong suddenly caught a cold when he was handling government affairs last night, and he felt a little unwell.

Originally, he planned to recover after a day or two, but what he didn't expect was that Sikong's health did not improve after he returned to the mansion.

It even got worse, and now I can't get out of bed anymore."

After the big clerk Baode finished speaking, he directly wiped away two tears that fell down at an unknown time.

It looked really sad.

After everyone saw this scene, not only did they not feel that Baldur was being pretentious, they even felt empathy.

The main reason is that the relationship between Bao De and Sikong Chen Chong is very different.

The father of the big farmer Bao De is Bao Yu, Situ Gong who was once a big man!
And Chen Chongke was the official of Bao Yu's Situ Mansion back then.He was also transferred to resign Cao, in charge of prison litigation and many other matters.
Although Chen Chong was not a person who liked official careers back then, he was still very grateful to the Bao family.

The relationship between the two has always been quite good.

After hearing what Nabald said today, everyone was silent for a while with a bit of grief.

It seems that Chen Chong is not recuperating at this time, but waiting to die!
At the same time, after a brief silence, they finally set their sights on the person who should be the least of them.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Ban Zhao, Master Cao, who is famous all over the world and was allowed to enter Dongguanjiao by the late emperor, right?"

"... Exactly..." Ban Zhao took a deep breath at this time, hiding from the many courtiers who looked calm and didn't seem to have changed in any way.

She knew that her problem finally appeared!

At the same time, Ban Zhao couldn't help turning her head to another place, and then she saw Deng Sui's firm gaze.

"Don't worry, I'm still here!"
