long live the queen

Chapter 63

Judging from various TV dramas, the affairs of the harem are trivial and boring. Looking at it now, it is really true. A little thing can express thousands of meanings, and a sentence can turn thousands of times to make people think deeply. And these are what Wei Yunqing feels impatient.She didn't know whether this waiter Liu Xuan came here because he wanted to fight against injustice, or if he was encouraged by Xu Zhaoyi to be a gunman, or if he looked down on her and thought she was so foolish, and wanted to gather a group of her to use her as a gunman...Anyway, she I don't want to worry about those trivial matters, she still has a lot of things to do.

"Your Majesty, you... where did you go?" Liu Xuanshi finally came back to his senses, his voice was still hesitant, "We are all watching how the Emperor treats you!"

"What did you see?" Wei Yunqing said, "I always argue with him? He always doesn't care what I say? Or has he not come to me for several days? Liu Xuanshi, you really made a mistake Now, the emperor really doesn't treat me differently, it's useless for you to come to me, it's better to go directly to the emperor."

"But ma'am, how can you bother the emperor with this harem matter?" Liu Xuanshi shook his head and sighed.

"Then go find someone who can talk, it's useless to find me." Wei Yunqing said sincerely, "Liu Xuanshi, I think you should go to Concubine Xu, her words are much more useful than mine."

As she was speaking, she suddenly gave a cry of surprise, turned her head and said to Lu Cui: "Lu Cui, waiter Liu Xuan's tea is cold, why don't you change it to hot tea for her?"

Lu Cui hurriedly responded, but Liu Xuan waiter over there already understood Wei Yunqing's order to chase away guests, and hurriedly said: "Don't bother Miss Lu Cui, the concubine will not disturb the empress, so I will leave first."

"Alright, I also have some things to do, Liu Xuan waiter go." Wei Yunqing originally hoped that the other party would leave quickly, so naturally he would not stay.

As soon as Liu Xuanshi left, Lan Tian said: "Madam, this Liu Xuanshi, I'm afraid the person who came was not kind, but fortunately you saw through her and didn't let her succeed."

Wei Yunqing turned his head to look at Lan Tian, ​​and smiled narrowly: "Lan Tian, ​​are you afraid of my flattery?"

Lan Tian saluted with a smile: "Your Majesty really has sharp eyes."

Wei Yunqing shook his head amusedly, and said, "I didn't see through Liu Xuanshi. I don't know what she's here for. I'm just afraid of trouble and don't want to meddle in their affairs. After all, I have to do it myself. There are so many things to do, how can I have time to pay attention to their messy things?"

"Your Majesty, if you get involved in those things, there will be endless troubles. Let's just watch the fire from the other side." Lan Tian laughed.

"Watching the fire, I don't have time." Wei Yunqing shook his head and sighed for a while, then said, "Lan Tian, ​​do you know how to write?"

Lan Tian nodded, doubtfully waiting for Wei Yunqing's order.

"If those seven people have news to report back, you can sort it out and write it down, and then report back to me." Wei Yunqing said.In addition to training some cronies, she also wanted to train a deputy. Of the two, Lan Tian and Lu Cui, the relatively stable Lan Tian was naturally more worthy of training.

"What about the servant girl?" Before Lan Tian could reply, Lu Cui asked hastily.

"You..." Wei Yunqing paused, and said seriously, "You can help Lan Tian sharpen the ink."

Lu Cui frowned when she heard this, while Lan Tian covered her mouth and laughed tremblingly.

Wei Yunqing laughed, and the bad mood he had just seen Liu Xuanshi suddenly disappeared.

Soon, the news reported by the seven people was sorted out by Lan Tian, ​​and finally sent to Wei Yunqing.

Because Wei Yunqing didn't stick to the content of the news, so there were all kinds of news in the big list.For example, the parrot raised by Concubine Zhuang suddenly called her a bitch one day. Concubine Zhuang was furious, beat up the maid who took care of the parrot, and sent her to the Clothes Bureau. For some reason, she had a quarrel with Wang Xuan's attendant in Xu Zhaoyi's palace, and then Xu Zhaoyi personally accompanied Wang Xuan to apologize to Ma Zhaoyi, and the two made up...

Just as Wei Yunqing asked, the seven people presented all kinds of news to her, with all kinds of details. Lan Tian also reminded that the news of the seven people was repeated from time to time, and she marked them all.

Wei Yunqing nodded, asked Lan Tian to write a copy, and left a copy for her and Lu Cui to analyze and summarize the character traits of each concubine, and then show it to her at the end.

On the other hand, after interacting with Cao Jun for a while, Wei Yunqing asked Cao Jun directly: "Eunuch Cao, can I listen while the cabinet ministers are discussing matters?"

These words really startled Cao Jun.

"Your Majesty... you are not allowed to do politics in this harem, and besides, the members of the cabinet are already in the outer court, so you can't get out even if you want to." Cao Jun's face was full of surprise.

"Eunuch Cao, if you want to deal with Zheng Xiang, you and I alone can't do it." Wei Yunqing said solemnly, "The cabinet has the power to draft votes, and Zheng Xiang has the power to approve Zhu. Now the cabinet has lost Lord Sun and is weaker than Zheng Xiang. Zhou Jinzhong, the governor of the East Factory, is also a member of Zheng Xiang, and we have nothing in comparison, and if we don’t want to find a way to get in, we won’t be able to decide anything.”

With Cao Jun around these few days, Wei Yunqing has also figured out some things a little bit.For example, the drafting power of the cabinet of Daliang means that the affairs of the hundred officials will be processed by the cabinet, and they will send the processing results to the emperor, and the emperor will use a red pen to agree or disagree, and then send it back, and the matter can be decided in this way Yes, this is Zhu Pi.But Yang Yi, the little emperor, does not do anything, so the right to approve Zhu is naturally in the hands of eunuch Zheng Xiang.He can knock cabinet decisions back and have them redraft.Of course, the cabinet could not follow Zheng Xiang's idea, and present it exactly the same as usual, but Zheng Xiang can also seal it back.This is the mutual check and balance of the highest authority in Daliang, and even the emperor is no exception.

"But this..." Cao Jun was the second-in-command in the Si Li Supervisor, but he and Zheng Xiang did not deal with each other, and his power was not as great as that of the other party, and Wei Yunqing's request was too amazing, so naturally he could not agree immediately.

"I also know that Eunuch Cao is difficult for you, but there is always room for compromise." Wei Yunqing said, "As long as the emperor says something, I can do whatever I want and go wherever I want. You ask the emperor for me. An oral order, it is said that you and I will listen to the cabinet for him."

"This... the servant is going to ask for an oral order?" Cao Jun was surprised.This kind of thing... Shouldn't the empress herself go to the emperor and talk about it?

"Of course you are the one to ask for it." Wei Yunqing took it for granted, "I had a quarrel with the emperor, and we are currently in a cold war, and no one wants to see anyone, don't you know?"

Cao Jun: "..." You two have quarreled, can I still get an oral order from the emperor?
Seeing Cao Jun's face full of embarrassment, Wei Yunqing urged: "Eunuch Cao, hurry up and try. If we arrive earlier, we will start making preparations earlier to pull Zheng Xiang off the horse. When Zheng Xiang steps down, Eunuch Cao, you are the No. Is it 1?"

What Wei Yunqing mentioned is indeed Cao Jun's greatest pursuit at the moment. Although what she wants him to do is too unbelievable, but...the matter between the emperor and this extraordinary lady has always been so incomprehensible. Why not just try it out?At most, he was scolded by the emperor.

After Cao Jun left Wei Yunqing's place, he immediately went to see Yang Yi.A moment later, Cao Jun came out of Qianqing Palace with a confused expression on his face.

As soon as he finished saying what his mother wanted him to convey, the emperor immediately agreed, without him needing to say more, and he didn't even ask why.

He suddenly realized that this time... he followed the right person.

When returning to Wei Yunqing to report to her, Cao Jun came up with a bold idea: "Madam, since your words are so effective in front of the emperor... why don't you just ask the emperor to remove Zheng Xiang from his post?"

His heart was pounding at the words.Regarding this matter, he thought about it all the way when he came back. It was because Yang Yi was too conniving with Wei Yunqing's words, so he had to think a little more.

"It's not that I never told him to stay away from Zheng Xiang, but it's useless." Wei Yunqing shook his head.She hates Zheng Xiang, and once reminded Yang Yi to stay away from Zheng Xiang, but now Zheng Xiang is still a big celebrity in front of Yang Yi, and she still can't shake his position in front of Yang Yi.

"It's too simple for a servant girl." Cao Jun said hurriedly when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. If Zheng Xiang can be dismissed with one sentence, then life will be much better.

"It's very rare for him to agree to send me this oral order now." Wei Yunqing said.She and Yang Yi haven't seen each other since that dispute, but maybe because of her fairy status, what she wants to do, as long as she doesn't leave the palace, Yang Yi will often agree unconditionally.Of course, she felt that Yang Yi's behavior could not be more correct, after all, she was helping him.

But for this matter, it is not enough for Yang Yi to agree to it. How the cabinet will react to this oral order is still a big problem.

Wei Yunqing originally thought about making Cao Jun her spokesperson.Cao Jun is an eunuch. Although he is not a man in the eyes of those officials, it is much better than a woman like her intervening in affairs.But she didn't want to give Cao Jun too much power.Her meddling in the cabinet was temporary, but she wanted to select some useful people for Yang Yi.She doesn't have any desire for power, she only wants to leave the palace, as long as there is a chance, she can give up the power she has and leave at any time.But Cao Jun is different. He has been immersed in the harem for a long time, and power is probably the most important thing to him. Once he has it, he is unwilling to let it go. That's why she has to go to such trouble and go into battle by herself.But on the side of the cabinet, she hoped that they would mistake her for Cao Jun's puppet, so that they might be more acceptable.

The current meeting place of the cabinet is at the gate of Qianqing, which can be regarded as the junction of the inner and outer courts, but concubines are definitely not allowed to go there under normal circumstances.

Wei Yunqing took Yang Yi's oral instructions, and together with Cao Jun came to the cabinet meeting room of Qianqingmen early, entered ahead of time and set up a curtain to sit down. She secretly felt that there was an inexplicable feeling of listening to politics behind the curtain.

The cabinet ministers arrived one after another, naturally very curious about the sudden extra curtain, Cao Jun smiled and said nothing, and waited for everyone to arrive, and then finished reading Yang Yi's oral order meticulously.

The cabinet ministers were stunned for a moment, and then as a matter of course, the ordinance caused an uproar.
