Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 168: Trick (1)
Chaoyang Palace is in midsummer, most of the palace people are in green shirts and skirts, and their cloaks are embroidered with water lotus. Looking at them from afar, they are really refreshing.After Minggong finished handling the government affairs in Jianjia Palace, he walked along the corridor, clinging to Baosi's bare hands, and looking around, Jianjia Palace was full of black bamboos, oleanders, and roses, and in the summer sunshine, they exuded bursts of light. A burst of fragrance, refreshing.

"Si'er, how is the crown prince's study in Jianjia Palace recently?" Ming Gong touched the flowers with his hand and asked suddenly.

"The prince is naturally intelligent, sensible and well-behaved, but he is missing a good master." Bao Si said happily.

"Well, Si'er, you're right, how about I appoint the doctor Cheng Rong as the prince's teacher?" Ming Gong laughed dumbfounded.

"Well, Mr. Cheng is knowledgeable and talented, so he should be competent." Bao Si nodded in agreement.

Not far from Jianjia Palace, the Water Dragon Pavilion on the rockery in the back garden, Concubine Jin just saw this scene from a high place, gritted her teeth with anger, and her face was sullen.

"Sister, why are you so angry?" Concubine Ge who was beside Concubine Jin hurriedly comforted her.

"Look, the crown prince is now in Jianjia Palace, and the king's office is also in Jianjia palace. The king is in Jianjia palace all day long, and he doesn't see anyone. His soul is completely captured by Baosi, a charming girl. You say, What chance do we have?" Imperial Concubine Jin said angrily.

"Then what about Qianxue? Your Majesty has been in Jianjia Palace, and my niece has no chance to get close to your Majesty." Concubine Ge frowned.

"I have my own way." Concubine Jin tightly grasped the handkerchief with both hands, thinking carefully: "The censor in the active court has spread a rumor everywhere in the capital."

On this day, after the morning court, Ming Gong left the senior doctor Cheng Rong and the prime minister Lu Kai alone in the study, and had a serious questioning.

"You two lovers, rumors have started to circulate in my Great Zhou's territory recently, and the rumors are aimed at the queen again. What's going on?" Ming Gong asked with a gloomy expression.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what kind of rumors and rumors make Your Majesty so sad?" Cheng Rong asked quickly, turning his eyes.

"Across the country, more than a dozen provinces are spreading rumors to confuse the public, saying that the mother's queen is coming, and the celestial signs are warning, which indicates that disasters are coming in my great week. They also said that there was another earthquake in Qishan the day before yesterday, and this is actually the reason. Who is making trouble in secret, spreading rumors and slandering in private?" Ming Gong said angrily.

"Your Majesty, those who spread rumors clearly planned in advance to search the privacy of the harem to attack and insult the harem, so as to uglify the harem. Therefore, I believe that those who spread rumors must come from the capital." Cheng Rong affirmed categorically.

"Then what should we do? Cheng Aiqing, do you have a way to find out and punish this chaos-maker?" Mingong asked.

"I also ask Your Majesty to appease your anger. The harem's participation in politics is not in line with the ancestral system. If Your Majesty suppresses the rumors by force, it will definitely give the troublemakers a handle. When the time comes to collectively protest, Your Majesty will be passive." Lu Kai said. .

"Then what do you mean to say, the only way for the widow to stop reviewing memorials in Jianjia Palace is to quell the rumors?" Ming Gong said angrily.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, if you take a step back, your Majesty will hold back for a while, and you will be able to take the opportunity to force out the potential conspiracy of the slanderer, and there will be a reason to catch them all at once," Cheng Rong said.

"Okay, starting tomorrow, I will move out of Jianjia Palace and go back to Chaoyang Palace's study room to review the memorials, and see who is behind the scenes to hurt people!" Ming Gong's face was full of anger.There is no alternative.

"Great, our strategy really succeeded. The ministers don't know why. There is a memorial on the left, and there is a memorial. They collectively oppose Baosi's interference in state affairs. Even her buddies Cheng Rong and Lu Kai want to retreat three points. Let's borrow Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will play another trump card." In the gloomy Chonghua Palace, Imperial Concubine Jin could not help being overjoyed when she heard about Ming Gong's decision in the previous dynasty, she slyly revealed a plan to Concubine Ge beside her.
