The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 990 Good news finally arrives!

More than ten days have passed, and Duanmu Nan has been missing. With the power of the imperial court, it is impossible to find a person from the vast crowd immediately, and Qi Jingyu's condition is getting more and more serious.

All the imperial doctors were helpless, because his brain had been destroyed by the worm, and even with a craniotomy, there was no way to catch all the worms out.

Finally, at the end of the month, the emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned.

Li Qingmu has nothing to do about it. He knows that Qi Jingyu has always wanted to be a good emperor, but being born in an emperor's family, many things are beyond his control. Even if you don't harm others, someone will want to harm you.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Qingmu followed Qi Jingyu's last words and assumed the post of Gu Ming minister, assisting the little emperor in handling daily affairs, but Empress Xie was quite dissatisfied with this.

The little emperor grew up beside Empress Xie and obeyed her words, so Empress Xie felt that assisting the emperor should be done by her, not by Li Qingmu.

Originally, Li Qingmu didn't intend to care about it, but the new emperor was only five or six years old, and he didn't have the ability to handle major national affairs independently. As for Empress Xie, her intentions were very obvious, and she wanted to listen to politics behind the curtain.

Naturally, state affairs cannot be handed over to the empress. There was no such precedent in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was a rule set by the founding emperor that the harem was not allowed to participate in politics. She would not be ignorant.

Therefore, Li Qingmu and Miyue soldiers split into two groups. He was in charge of mediating with Empress Xie in the palace, and Miyue was in charge of going out to find Gao Mingyue to see if her child was a son or a daughter.

If it is a son, he can follow Qi Jingyu's last words and let him inherit the throne!
Of course, Li Qingmu will personally train and observe for several years. If his conduct is bad, even Qi Jingyu's own flesh and blood will not be able to sit on the throne. He will be responsible for thousands of people in Da Zhou.

At three o'clock, all civil and military officials dressed neatly, entered through the Meridian Gate, passed the long steps to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and lined up on both sides of the hall. They occasionally looked up at the little emperor on the throne, and couldn't help sniggering.

The little emperor was young and ignorant, looking around on the throne, curious about everything, restless and restless.

Empress Xie had no choice but to tell him to keep quiet, and after tossing and tossing for a long time, she said: "My dear ones, if there is something to do, let's go back to the court if there is nothing to do."

"I have a copy." Zheng Shichao, a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion, walked a few steps out of the queue, bowing and holding a memorial.

The head of the cabinet stepped forward to take it and handed it to Li Qingmu.

Li Qingmu, as the regent and also the minister of command, is naturally qualified to read the memorial, but Empress Xie said with a displeasure on her face: "Regent, aren't you a bit overstepping?"

Li Qingmu sneered and said, "Could it be possible that the queen also understands state affairs?"

"Hmph, my son is the current emperor, what's wrong with me temporarily handling the government affairs for him?"

"The problem is very big! The founding emperor clearly stated that the harem is not allowed to participate in politics. As the mother of the country, doesn't it mean that Empress Xie doesn't even understand the basic laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Strictly speaking, the laws promulgated by the first emperor cannot be overturned. Even Qi Jingyu had to think twice when he was in power. As for Empress Xie, she is even less qualified to talk about state affairs.

At this moment, the little emperor suddenly stood up and said, "Get out, I don't like you, get out!"

Li Qingmu frowned, this little guy was held up by him, because a country cannot live without a king, Gao Mingyue's child does not know whether it is a boy or a girl, and he does not know when he will be found, so he is held up the throne.

Didn't expect to drive himself out of the court at this time?
Empress Xie put pressure at the right time and asked, "What? The regent intends to disobey the order?"

"Resisting the decree? Has he decreed it? I am his great uncle!" Li Qingmu looked displeased and asked loudly, "He hasn't settled in that position yet, are you going to drive me out of the court?"

Empress Xie sneered and said, "You were the one who let him sit on the throne, but you didn't obey the emperor's order at this time. I would like to ask all the civil and military lords of the Manchu Dynasty, whether the emperor's oral order is considered an imperial edict?"

"This……"

The ministers were all speechless, there is no room for them to speak here, if they stand in the wrong line if they are not careful, I am afraid that there will be bitter fruit in the future.

Li Qing walked away angrily, with Empress Xie around, I'm afraid Da Zhou would be ruined by her sooner or later.

It was not easy for him to join hands with Qi Jingyu to solve the suffering of the people. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everything is turning for the better. It must not be ruined by her!

Seeing Li Qingmu walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Empress Xie smiled insignificantly, and asked loudly: "My dear friends, who else has a playbook?"

The ministers looked at each other a few times, but shook their heads without saying a word.

"Then retreat!" Empress Xie was in a good mood, this is the taste of power.

She was looking forward to it day and night, but she never thought that one day she would be able to take charge of the government. This is different from the harem. Although she has a great status in the harem, after all, she can only manage those concubines, which is completely different from the feeling of being in charge of the world.

When all the civil and military officials left, she spun around in front of the throne overjoyed, and laughed excitedly. It took a long time before she calmed down.

"Huanger, you did the right thing just now. That Li Qingmu is a bad guy. From now on, as long as he dares to go to the palace, you will drive him out. Do you hear me?"

"Good mother, can I go out to play now?"

"Okay, as long as you don't go to dangerous places to play, let the Ouchi chief follow you, go."

After tasting the sweetness of power, Empress Xie began to rule the court and ruled out dissidents. Any minister who questioned her overreach was dismissed from office and forced to return home.

Soon the courtroom became Queen Xie's hall of speech, she did what she said, and all civil and military officials dared not refuse.

And Li Qingmu didn't seem to be keen on going to the palace to discuss matters anymore, which was exactly in Empress Xie's arms. She wished that that guy of his generation would never show up.

But she is not good at dealing with state affairs. At the beginning, she was very fresh when reviewing memorials, but after a few months, she was no longer interested in these trivial matters. She enjoyed the imperial treatment in the harem all day long. They didn't bring the little emperor to court.

Li Qingmu knew this well, and all the ministers of the court came to him one after another, hoping that he could stand up and preside over the overall situation, otherwise the Great Zhou would perish.

But the little emperor was promoted by Li Qingmu, he can't drive the little emperor down again, unless he makes some big mistakes, but what kind of disaster can a five or six-year-old child make?
He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Yue'er to find Gao Mingyue back, to see if her child is a son or a daughter, if it is a son, then there is a lot to do.

Qi Jingyu left a posthumous edict before his death, which was about the succession of the new emperor. At that time, more than a dozen imperial physicians were present. As long as this edict is produced, Empress Xie and the little emperor can be driven out of the palace.

Queen Xie knew nothing about it.

Finally, as late autumn approached, a letter from a flying pigeon brought good news.

Gao Mingyue found it, and her child was a son!
