Chapter 287 Countermeasures

The Golden Luan Hall was silent, and the eunuchs in front of the hall secretly glanced at the man on the dragon chair from the corner of their eyes from time to time, lowered their eyebrows, and although there was no expression on their face, their hearts were fluctuating.

He has followed the emperor to serve him since before he ascended the throne.

When the emperor was not the emperor, the eunuch only saw him so impatient and forbearing once.

After ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, the eunuch never saw him like this again.

The longer the time lapse, seeing the expression on the emperor's face at this moment, the more worried the eunuch was.

He glanced at the minister who was still talking, and silently lit a candle in his heart: The majesty of a king is unpredictable, Mr. Li, please ask for blessings.

The emperor said that he was in a very bad mood today.

The scheduled things are out of his control and expectations, so it's no wonder he's happy!
"...Your Majesty, the two sons of the Ji family have too much power. In the army, the soldiers only know that there are two generals, Ji Li and Ji Ji, but they don't know about the Emperor. Once they start plotting rebellion, Your Majesty, the country will be in danger. "

Master Li spoke dryly, looking up at the emperor on the dragon chair eagerly.

What he said is so clear, the emperor should be alerted.

After a while, the emperor was silent.

Master Li was not discouraged.

Since ancient times, most of the admonishing ministers were disliked by the emperor.

Because most of what they say is not what the emperor loves or wants to hear. In other words, what they say is what the emperor dislikes, hates, and resents the most.

Not every admonisher is like Wei Zheng, who has a good boss who is wise, wise and broad-minded!
However, Wei Zheng's spirit and integrity are admired by every admonisher, and they regard it as their lifelong belief and pursuit.

Lord Li bowed his hands in salute, and said again: "Your Majesty, there is a lesson from the King of Shu before, and the Emperor has to take precautions early!"

The emperor was expressionless, and his heart was even more depressed.

Of course he knew everything.

If it wasn't for knowing, he wouldn't be afraid of Ji's family.

However, he won the military power of the Ji family so quickly, and was poked in the back by the people, scolding and killing the donkey behind his back, but he didn't do it.

He will take back the military power sooner or later.

However, he has always maintained the popular support.

He wants to have both the fish and the bear's paw.

"Li Qing, Ji Guogong's family, the three families are loyal and loyal, defending the family and defending the country. The common people know this. You say they have the intention of treason, do you have evidence?"

"Minister... not at all."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Since Li Qing has no evidence, then don't scare people here. I know, I think you are an admonisher, this is your job. I don't know, I think you are jealous of Ji Guogong's family grace, but instead seek to entrap them."

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

Master Li knelt on the ground with a plop, and knocked his head heavily.

"I'm tired too. If you have nothing else to do, you can kneel down."

All the ministers look at me and I look at you. With the lessons learned from Mr. Li, no one is reasoning with the emperor.

"I will send you off to the emperor respectfully..."

The emperor stood up and strode towards the back of the palace.

Hmph, a mere civil servant also wants to tell him what to do!
Right and wrong, he has his own opinion!

In the Duke's Mansion, the atmosphere is oppressive and dull.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do now?"

Season stared at Tong Zhi'er nervously and asked.

This sister-in-law's intelligence is no less than that of a man. If she were a man and entered the court as an official, she would be appointed king and minister.

After the court, Ji Ji followed Ji Li back to the mansion, gathered in the study, and told Ji Chang and Tong Zhi'er in the study.

Tong Zhi'er's expression didn't change, it seemed that he had expected such a situation long ago.

After waiting for a long time, Ji Ji didn't hear Tong Zhi'er speak. After thinking for a while, he said: "Sister-in-law, the one who took Ping An as a hostage in the palace was just to hold us hostage for a while, and take back the military power in a few years. Seeing the mouths of the people all over the world. If so, let's make his Sima Zhao's heart known to everyone!"

"This is inappropriate."

Tong Zhier shook his head and said.

Ji Chang also nodded, "This method is the worst method!"

"Why? Isn't this bad?"

"Of course not," Tong Zhi'er looked at him, "Have you ever heard of Gouji Jumping Over the Wall?"

Season nods.

"The one who is not in a hurry to cut the military power is for the reputation of the king. If this matter breaks out among the people, no matter whether he acts or not, it will leave a stain in the hearts of the people. I sigh, as the emperor, use When I have you, I will naturally please you in every possible way, and when I don't need you, I will naturally kick you away. In this way, the wise king who wants to be a clean man will not take away the rights from you .”

"If you don't seize power, but you are afraid that we will rebel, you will use peace as a check and balance."

The season answered.

"That's right!"

As the eldest son of Ji Guogong's mansion, Ping'an is very intelligent. Any family would attach great importance to and love him, and exist as a successor.

What's more, Ji Chang and others are not the ones who give up family affection for the sake of power.

In that person's hands, peace is indeed a decisive bargaining chip!

"Sister-in-law, what do you say?"

Ji Ji looked at Tong Zhi'er, and Ji Chang and Ji Li's gazes also locked on her firmly.

"The first method doesn't work, it seems that the second method must be implemented."

"What way?"

"This way..."

.........

Cining Palace.

The palace maid went into the palace and reported, "Empress Dowager, the imperial court ordered the wife to seek an audience outside."

The Queen Mother raised her hands and said with a smile, "Let them in."

Every year, the Empress Dowager always summons the wives from various prefectures into the palace to talk, connect with each other, and use their mouths to beat and beat the ministers in the court.

Dozens of people were led into the Compassionate Ning Palace by the palace maids. They all wore court uniforms, the difference was the patterns and patterns on the chest, and everything else was exactly the same.

"The minister's wife greets the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old."

The wives all said one word and knelt down on the ground.

"Let's all get down, come and give me a seat."

Although it is said to be giving seats, it is just moving the cushions and sitting everyone on the cushions.

Everyone thanked them, and took their seats one by one according to their rank.

"The empress dowager—"

Everyone was listening to the Empress Dowager talking when they suddenly heard a soft and waxy child's voice.

The voice is sweet, with a child's unique milk aroma, which makes everyone very curious. If it is not in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, they will definitely gather around to find out.

"Come on, come to Ai's house."

The Queen Mother said happily.

All the wives heard the sound of trotting, and as the sound got closer, they quickly caught a touch of white robes in the corner of their eyes.

"After school?"

"Ah."

"What did you learn today?"

"Mencius."

"Hehe... You've read Mencius a long time ago. It doesn't sound like much effort now, does it?"

"Sir, the speech is very good, but it is easy to understand."

"that's humble………"

"Empress Dowager, Wuyou never tells lies."

"Empress Dowager, why do you keep asking Wuyou instead of my son?"

Another child's voice cut in.

The wives were even more puzzled and looked up curiously, only to see a two-year-old child standing in front of the Empress Dowager.She is small, fair-born, and has a cute face.

In the palace, the youngest prince is now three and a half years old!
Who is this kid?How could the empress dowager treat her like this?
Such thoughts flashed through everyone's minds at the same time.

"Empress Dowager, Wuyou is homesick. Can Wuyou go home and see his parents, great-grandmother, grandfather, and grandmother?"

Ping An looked eagerly at the empress dowager at the head.

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face froze in an instant, and in an instant, the smile reappeared on her cheeks. If you look carefully, you will find that this smile is really far-fetched compared to before.

Of course the Queen Mother couldn't laugh anymore.

In front of so many wives, Ping An came out like this, didn't it arouse random suspicion?

Among the life wives, many of them are human beings. If you think about it for a while, you will know what's going on!

"Go and play, Ai's family still has important things to do."

"...Yes, Empress Dowager."

Ping An saluted with the Fifth Prince, and slowly exited the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

With such an outburst, the Empress Dowager originally wanted to beat the hearts of the wives, but she also lost interest, and chatted casually about family matters, which made people go back.

.........

"Who is that kid?"

"Such a young child, only two years old, how could his parents have the heart to send him to the palace?"

"Your news is too closed. Didn't the grandson of the Grand Duke be brought into the palace a while ago to accompany the fifth prince?"

someone said.

Everyone immediately remembered the previous incident.

A two-year-old child who reads as a companion is ridiculous.

What can a two-year-old understand?
I'm afraid that the queen mother and the emperor are drunkards who don't want to drink!
Well, when you get home, you have to tell the people in the family quickly, and remember that from now on, you can't communicate with people in the Duke's Mansion.So as not to be implicated in time and endanger yourself.

All the wives quickly dispersed, each got into the carriage and returned to the mansion.

"Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. When I went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace today, I also met the grandson of the Grand Duke."

"In the early court today, Master Li's remonstrance angered the emperor, I thought... It really is unpredictable!"

"Master, you have to stay away from the people in the Duke's Mansion."

"Well, I know. Thank you for your hard work, madam. Go back to the backyard and rest, madam."

The woman nodded and went back to her yard.

"Such a big matter, I have to tell a few girls and boys."

.........

I don't know who spread the news. After a few days, the whole capital's streets and alleys were filled with rumors that the emperor and the queen mother took the two-year-old young master of the Duke's mansion as hostage, and forced Ji Li and Ji Ji's two hands Rumors of a general who holds a heavy army surrendering.

Although it is a rumor, three people become a tiger, and one word makes money.

Later, it became more and more evil.

One speaks more clearly than the other.

The news spread to the palace, but the emperor and queen mother were furious!
