Chapter 114 Blackmail (1)
Chaoyang Palace, the back garden in mid-spring, peonies are all over the mountain and rocks, and the first impatiens are bright red and fresh.

"Your Majesty, it's a bit chilly in the garden at night, so let's go back to Cuiyun Pavilion." Xinyue, who was standing by the side, stepped forward, and slowly said a blessing, and persuaded softly.

"Hey!" Minggong sighed a long time: "It seems that another spring is over, Xinyue, why is the widow, the emperor Zhou who rules the world, but ends up with nothing, not as good as pigs and dogs?"

"Why did your majesty say that? According to my slaves, my majesty is a wise ruler of all ages. For the well-being of the people, he fights against privileged powers and reforms the imperial court. In Xinyue's eyes, my majesty is a great hero!" Xinyue smiled and bowed her head. hand over.

"Xinyue, you are much happier than the widow. Look at the widow, the most important person in my heart, who always stimulates the widow's heart so mercilessly. In the end, she still doesn't understand the widow's painstaking efforts at all." Mingong smiled wryly. road.

"Is the queen talking about the queen? Well, I heard that the queen took the initiative to let the king marry Miss Yun, and desperately defended Dig Tu. Doesn't this just mean that the queen is gentle and virtuous, with a magnanimous heart? Your Majesty Why aren't you happy?" Xinyue suddenly blinked her big eyes that looked like amused glances.

"Haha, Xinyue, if you open your mouth, you girl, the dead will tell you to die, but the queen is exchanging the lives of Yunniang and Quetu, isn't it absurd?" Ming Gong smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, doesn't this just mean that the Empress cares most about the King? It would be great to kill two birds with one stone." Xinyue comforted.

"Okay, Xinyue, don't make all the promises. Hurry up and drive to the Nuan Pavilion, the widow is going to approve the memorial." Minggong said with a leisurely smile.

In the dim light of the Nuan Pavilion, Ming Gong squinted his eyes, carefully flipping through piles of memorials. "It's a cliché again. Que Tu is a pervert and evil ghost. He spends his days and nights in the capital. He doesn't do his job properly. He relies on his meritorious service and bullies the emperor's relatives. It's a joke. How can a prince and Taibao of the imperial court act like this in the capital? But, Que Tu does have Virtue and talent, plus half of the military power belongs to him, and Bao Si's attitude towards him, even his own doting, this kind of person is too scary, I have worked so hard to monopolize the power for half my life, Threatened by this person? The only good way is to let him leave the court as soon as possible." Mingong gritted his teeth while talking to himself.

"Come here, invite Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun to see you immediately." Ming Gong raised his head and ordered the imperial eunuch loudly.

"No!" Soon, the eunuch called Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun outside the palace.

"Let them in!" Ming Gong ordered impatiently, and after a while, Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun came in to pay their respects.

"Get up, my dear ministers, it has been several months since the case of digging. It doesn't matter if he is locked up in the criminal department alone. More than half of the ministers in the court are surrounding him and scolding him. If this matter is not resolved, how can the court do it?" Into a system?" Ming Gong raised his eyebrows and asked.

"My Majesty, the ministers are scolding, but Wang Shanggangang is arbitrary and must not be influenced by them. Cases of excavation must be tried impartially, so that the world can be convinced." Cheng Rong kowtowed and replied.

"Well, you're right, but don't you think that excavation is a hidden danger?" Mingong said suddenly in a low voice.

Cheng Rong smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty is too worried. Now, the Prime Minister Wang's family is monopolizing power, and more than half of the courtiers are his henchmen. On the one hand, His Majesty wants to weaken the power of the Wang family and completely seize the power in his own hands." At hand, on the one hand, carry out reforms, win the hearts of the people, and consolidate people's livelihood. This great cause requires a reliable minister to assist the prime minister, so that it is possible to complete it. Although Young Master Diedu is young, he does not care about his own achievements for the sake of the court and the king. At the risk of offending the dignitaries, try hard to implement the reforms promoted by the king, try to help the king share the pressure, such a dedicated minister, the king will get rid of him, I am afraid that there will be no decent loyal ministers in the court in the future."
