Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 49
Pei Xiu's whole body was tense, suppressing her resentment, she kept her head down, her eyes fell on the boots Feng Jin was wearing, the bright yellow background was embroidered with delicate vermilion dragon patterns, surrounded by auspicious clouds, exquisite and luxurious, showing her Supreme status.

Everyone held their breath nervously and did not dare to make a sound. There was no sound at the gate of the city, only the sound of the night wind whistling past, and the sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking in the distance.

Pei Xiu's hands were tightly clenched, and it took a long time for him to loosen them slowly. There was a bloodstain on the palm of his hand. He slowly lowered his head and lowered his eyes, so that no one could see his face clearly.

"Wei Chen remembered."

Feng Jin stared at him coldly, and said calmly, "Get up!"

Of course she knew that this kneeling would make Pei Xiu hate her more, but she didn't care.

Anyway, without this kneeling, she and Pei Xiu would fight to the death, so what does it matter if he hates her or not?
With Pei Zhong's support, Pei Xiu stood up slowly, not knowing if she was too weak, or just pretending to be a posture, the moment she straightened her waist, Pei Xiu's legs trembled visibly.

Feng Jin's dignified and majestic eyes glanced over his pale face, paused for a while, then moved away, looking around at the dark crowd of ministers, she watched them all lower their heads, respectfully, shrinking, the corners of their lips slowly Slowly, there was a faint, unpredictable smile.

"My dear friends, do you remember all of them?"

"Sir, please take note."

The ministers said loudly in unison.

No one thought that Prime Minister Pei actually knelt down, even Prime Minister Pei bowed his head, who would dare not bow his head?

What the ministers didn't even expect was that the empress actually pressed Pei Xiu's head, how dare she?
Hasn't the queen been raised by Prime Minister Pei to be obedient?Even in the past, the queen would suppress whoever Pei Xiu said was suppressed, without asking a word, she directly issued an imperial decree to throw people into prison.

Now, why has everything changed?Or, in the past so many years, the empress's meekness and obedience have always been pretended, just to paralyze Prime Minister Pei?Now that she has grown up, she doesn't want to bear it anymore, so she starts to show her edge?
The ministers couldn't figure it out, but what they knew was that the wind direction might change in the future.

Pei Xiang's kneeling today means that the conflict between him and the empress has officially come to the fore. Everyone can predict that the bloody storm in the imperial capital will intensify in the next few days!
If the Empress wants to govern herself, she must deprive Prime Minister Pei of his power. This is something that Prime Minister Pei cannot tolerate. Now, among all the civil and military officials, Prime Minister Pei controls most of the officials. Either they don't stand on both sides and are absolutely neutral, like Mr. Song, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment.

Judging from the current situation, the empress is obviously at a disadvantage, but since the empress has been able to stay dormant for so many years, why did she erupt today?

Now, the empress obviously has no power in her hands. If she really wants to have a conflict with Pei Xiang, Pei Xiang will probably be cruel and imprison her, and support the new emperor to ascend the throne.

You must know that although the first emperor had no other heirs, the first emperor had other brothers. Now, apart from the Jiangdong king who was born of the same mother as the first emperor and who was also the deceased empress dowager, there is also the Qing'an king who was born by other concubines. King Zhongshan and so on, these princes have heirs, it is not impossible for Pei Xiangruo to support a son to ascend the throne.

No one could figure out why the empress chose an obviously unfavorable time for her to have an attack. The empress could bear it for a while longer.

The ministers were all guessing what Feng Jin was thinking, and Pei Xiu was also guessing.

And Feng Jin always had a vague smile on his lips, and his eyes were as deep as the sea, with a faint brilliance that made it hard to see through.

Mr. Qi, the old fox Qi's eyes flickered slightly, he walked forward, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the night is cold and the dew is heavy, your majesty wants to go back to the palace to rest?"

Feng Jin smiled slightly, "Going back to the palace? I'm still waiting for Pei Qing to explain! If Pei Qing can't give me an explanation that satisfies me, tonight, I will stand outside this city gate and blow the cold wind all night!"

"Your Majesty must not, Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important thing, it can't be like this!"

Master Qi said, with a worried and concerned expression on his face, he knelt down on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body! If your Majesty blows a cold wind and falls ill, how can the old minister have the face to see the dragon under Huang Quan?" the late emperor?"

Your Majesty Qi is kneeling on the ground, the old minister on the left has failed the entrustment of the late emperor, and let His Majesty suffer this humiliation, and the old minister on the right is ashamed of being a minister, and actually let His Majesty blow the cold wind here.

In short, what old fox Qi was crying about was to roast Pei Xiu on the fire.

Looking at his exaggerated performance, Feng Jin actually had two teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and said to himself: It really is an old fox!
Everyone was looking at Pei Xiu, and Pei Xiu hated it so much that he gave Li Yi a hard look. He knew the whole story on the way here, and he knew it was bad at the time, and uttered obscenities at the queen. The city gate official who ransacked the family and exterminated the clan is light. The most hateful thing is that this person was found by Li Yi. Everyone knows that Li Yi belongs to him. He can't clear up this matter. Take the blame out.

What Pei Xiu hated so much was that Li Yi was his confidant, so he was really disappointed that such a trivial matter could be done like this!The four city gates are the barriers to defend the imperial capital, the most important thing, Li Yi actually found him such a thing to guard the city gates!It should be killed!

Li Yi felt that he was wronged. After receiving the news, Prime Minister Pei learned that the original city gate official was from the Shen family, so he took advantage of his crime of opening the city gate without permission and put him in prison and replaced him with his own.

Pei Xiang was too sick to get up, so he entrusted this matter to him.

Li Yi couldn't find a good candidate for a while, and it happened that his cousin recommended someone, and he looked pretty good, so he wanted this person to take his place for two days, and he would replace him when he found a suitable candidate, but Something went wrong at this juncture!
Li Yi hated his cousin so much at the moment, what kind of stuff did he recommend, which actually provoked Her Majesty the Queen.

This matter, Pei Xiang, must be completely pushed away, and he must not get involved in it. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he must not be involved in this matter, only...

Li Yi stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. The city gate officer was recommended by my cousin. I thought he was pretty good at first, so I thought about it." Let him take the place for two days and replace him when there is a suitable candidate, but I didn't expect this person to be so rude to His Majesty. In my opinion, it is better to whip his corpse and hang it on the tower. We will also confiscate his family and exterminate his family, kill all the males, and serve as official prostitutes for the female family members! To make an example to others!"

Li Yi put all the blame on the city gate official who had been beheaded by Wuming's sword, thinking that there is no proof.

But who is Feng Jin, she originally wanted to take advantage of this incident, how could she expose it lightly?

Feng Jin glanced at Master Qi, and Master Qi received her wink, and immediately said sharply, "Master Li is really eloquent, he picked himself up in a few words, according to my opinion, Master Li's guilt is comparable to that of the one who lost his head." There are too many city gate officials!"

Li Yi's face changed drastically, and he said sharply, "Lord Qi, don't talk nonsense, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Feng Jin said coldly, Li Yi's complexion changed again and again, he always only listened to Pei Xiu, and just wanted to refute it regardless of the dignity of the monarch and his ministers, but Pei Xiu made a secret wink, and Li Yi had no choice but to back down.

Pei Xiu has his reasons for doing this, Feng Jin is still a queen no matter what, Li Yi is a courtier, if the following offends, Feng Jin can directly make Wuming behead his head like beheading a city gate official.

Feng Jin glanced at Li Yi coldly, and said to Mr. Qi, "Go on! I want to hear it, and I think all the lovers want to hear it too."

No one dared to say a word, the audience was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

Lord Qi cleared his throat, and said loudly, "One, Master Li is ignorant of people, dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty! As a Minister of the Ministry of War, he didn't even know the details of his subordinates, so he rashly let him take office, and regarded the entire capital as a leader. Safety is at stake, and His Majesty’s is at nothing! Second, Mr. Li listens and believes, and uses his power for personal gain! He listened to his cousin’s one-sided words, and took the opportunity to increase the influence of the Li family, taking the position of the city gate official into the hands of the Li family I don’t know if Master Li and the Li family ignore Her Majesty the Empress and wantonly seize power, do they have the heart of disobedience and want to plot rebellion?”

As soon as the hat of treason was pressed down, Li Yi, who was a military officer, couldn't help it. He kicked Mr. Qi and shouted angrily, "Qi Heng, put your mother's shit! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! Want to put me on the charge of treason? Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you, old bastard now!"

broken!

Pei Xiu's expression changed, and she looked at Feng Jin, only to see the corners of Feng Jin's lips slowly rising, revealing an inexplicable smile, Pei Xiu's heart trembled, he had been tricked!
