The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 105 Gao Hong’s Case 3
"The House of Internal Affairs is asking what the slave said." Chongqing opened the curtain and came in, putting his hand on the stove to keep warm.

One autumn rain and another cold, the days are getting colder day by day.

Zhe Sang said, "You're still afraid that he won't be able to tell you what you want. I see that your tongue has been greatly influenced by Shui Bao. The previous beauty, Xu Mei, was more respectful when she met you than when she met me."

"They are not afraid of slaves. They are clearly afraid of the empress. This slave is called a fox pretending to be a tiger!"

Chongqing smiled and said that in addition to taking care of the harem, Zhesang was also secretly planning business with the Zhou family. She left many trivial matters to Chongqing to handle.

If she had to do all the work, she would be busy even if she didn't eat or drink.

Under her influence, the heads of the harem were like mice meeting cats when they met the people of Yong'an Palace. They were very obedient.

Chongqing never went to school, and Zhesang taught her a few words in the past, but now there are more people to deal with, and some accounting regulations make it easier to read.

Therefore, Zhe Sang relieved her of serving him and only trained her as a female official. After handling the affairs of the harem, he went to the library to study and practice calligraphy with Li Jianzheng.

At first, Chongqing was a little awkward, but as time went by, he became fascinated. He would always hold a lantern before returning to Yong'an Palace.

"Li Jianzheng teaches well." Zhe Sang said with a smile.

Chongqing was a little embarrassed, "Li Jianzheng was almost fooled to death by the slave. If it weren't for the sake of the empress, he would have closed the door tomorrow and wouldn't allow the slave to go back."

"You just started enlightenment later. We don't take the exam for merit and fame. Just learn what you can use."

Zhe Sang stood up and saw Chong Qing standing with a graceful temperament. Although he was not as good as the one who came out of the pile of gold and silver, he was still far away from the minions.

Somewhat emotional, "When you first came to me, you were timid. I thought you had no opinion. Who knew you were stubborn, but now you have changed drastically."

"A few days ago, my brother asked someone to write a letter, saying that Brother Qing was ill. Although he didn't ask the slave to give money, the slave knew what he was thinking, so he sent him some money. After all, he was a blood relative, and he himself He made me grow up when I was young."

"I resented him before, but now I think about it, if he hadn't forced me to marry that fool, I wouldn't have met my empress, let alone a day like today. If he had really found a better family in the village, The slave girl is also happily married and living her life serving her mother-in-law."

Zhe Sang saw that she was relieved of the past. While he was happy for her, he couldn't help but think of his relatives.

She has two parents, but they are still alone, and now even more so, the only remaining relative is Su Qiong'an, who hates each other.

Seeing her confusion, Chongqing hurriedly changed the subject, "Look, slave, I've gone astray. The Ministry of Internal Affairs asked slave, Concubine Shu is ill now and is slacking on everything, but the day of becoming a concubine is coming soon."

"He wants the queen to take over this matter."

Zhe Sang shook his head and sighed, "It may not be true that Concubine Shu is being lazy, but he is really a snobbery."

Chongqing said, "Since the case against Gao Xiucai was settled and the Holy Master beheaded her brother-in-law, she has become haggard and honest. She has come to pay his respects even though she is ill these days."

"Xi Bohou is being suspected by His Majesty. How dare she act recklessly?"

"But didn't His Majesty just deal with Feng Huan? He was afraid that Xibohou would feel uncomfortable, so he specially invited people in to comfort him."

Zhe Sang stirred the charcoal, "You forgot, he always does superficial things."

Seeing that she seemed to still have doubts, Zhe Sang simply broke it into pieces and told her.

"For people like Xibohou and the Holy Lord, the lives of the hundreds of people in Gaojia Village are nothing. The Holy Lord can't care less and sell Xibohou a favor."

Chongqing felt incredible after hearing this, "But, Gaojia Village is the people of the Holy Emperor? How can you ignore it?" "Subjects? There are so many people in the Jin Dynasty. After three or five years, who will still remember? There are thousands of people. Loyal ministers are hard to come by."

"It is easy to attack a city but difficult to defend it. Now it seems that the whole world has returned to the Holy One, but what is the reality?
"Seventy percent of the civil servants of the imperial court are inseparable from the Gu family. There are only two levels who are completely loyal to the Holy One. They are all officials with no power. The border generals are indeed powerful, but the generals are too prestigious. Take the Ning family army as an example. They only know General Hu does not know the imperial court."

"Containment is everywhere. In such a situation, if the Holy Spirit directly removes Xibohou, then all the officials of the court will completely fall into the hands of the Gu family. What is the difference between him being an emperor and being inappropriate?"

"If that's the case, then why does the Holy One want to overturn Gao Xiucai's case?"

The more Chongqing listened, the more confused he became.

Zhe Sang smiled, with a cunning look in his eyes.

"Because,"

"I want him to turn over."

I wanted the emperor to overturn the verdict, so I didn't let other forces get involved.

Don't pay attention to this petition, otherwise the emperor will suspect that he wants to murder Xibohou, which will only be counterproductive.

It can't be other forces. Even if it doesn't arouse the emperor's suspicion, someone may leak the news to the Xibohou Mansion. After all, they are all in the officialdom. They will choose to facilitate each other in such trivial matters.

Therefore, Zhe Sang asked the eunuch to upload it. This artificially arranged coincidence gave the emperor more confidence in Gao Hong's innateness.

"In your opinion, where did Xibohou go wrong in what happened in Gaojiacun?"

"I think it's because Marquis Xibo didn't teach his son well, and Feng Huan's behavior was bad, and he took human life seriously. But after listening to the Queen's words, I think there are other reasons."

Zhe Sang slowly explained, "What you said is an inducement, but if you want to really offend the Holy Sage, you have to pick his back."

"This is not a big case to the emperor, and it is nothing to the Xibohou Mansion."

"If it weren't for Gao Hong, he would just kill him. No matter how high or low he is, it's just like crushing an ant to death. Officials in Jiangzhou all know that Gaojiacun is wronged, but the black hat is hard-won. Why bother to do it for someone you have never even met? How about putting your own future on the line? The perpetrators are not you, they just closed their eyes and remained silent."

"Gao Hong was not afraid of death and sued all the way. Feng Ba was afraid that he would alert Xibohou, so he kept it from Xibohou while using Xibohou's fame and power to take care of things outside."

"It would have been better if he hadn't concealed it. At most he would have been beaten. But he hid it like this, and finally it was revealed to the emperor. Gao Hong said, 'All officials are afraid of Xibohou. His power is so great that he can only use one hand. Covering the sky prevents the king from issuing orders and the people cannot receive heaven's grace."

"Once these words are spoken, how can the Holy One not be suspicious?"

"His appeasement to Xibohou is just a ploy to gain power. The Holy One still needs him to compete with Prime Minister Gu."

Chongqing thought for a while and then asked, "Prime Minister Gu is much more powerful than Hou Xibo. If Prime Minister Gu is not defeated for a day, then Hou Xibo will always be there?"

"Of course not. From the Holy Master's point of view, there are two tigers in front of you."

Chongqing blinked and looked at her.

　I was criticized by my boss in the middle of the night, and I was really not in a good mood. Sorry, I'll update it first.

　　I must complete the update before [-]pm tomorrow.
