Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 36 The Power Struggle
"Huh? Si'er, why do you think so?" Ming Gong was almost distracted by Bao Si's question.

"Your Majesty, Si'er has no intention of interfering in state affairs, but Si'er can still see the hardships His Majesty has suffered during these days. Many powerful ministers are trying to control His Majesty by themselves through family affection and relationships. They almost drove me crazy!" Bao Si murmured after being blessed.

"Si'er!" Ming Gong heard his blood rushing, put his hands on Bao Si's shoulders and said with a smile, "You really didn't disappoint the widow, yes, only you can understand the heart of the widow, and only you can understand the heart of the widow." You are able to enjoy each other with the widow, what you said is great!"

"Your Majesty, Si'er has just seen the achievements of Marquis Bao in Baoguo, and knows that Marquis Bao is dedicated to the people of Baoguo and treats them like brothers. Therefore, the people of Baoguo spontaneously help Marquis Bao build their homes. Above all, you should not just become an object for the powerful to compete for the highest power, the real power you want can only be obtained from the hands of the common people, and the common people are the ones who should be respected the most." Bao Si looked at Ming Gong seriously, with beautiful eyes looking forward to hope.

Ming Gong stared at Bao Si in surprise, and said with a chuckle: "Si'er, I really didn't expect that you have such a big heart in your little heart. You are right. It seems that the widow should re-examine."

The lights of the harem, in the twilight of the night, are like a starry sky, and the new moon standing under the jade steps feels that this night is very romantic.

This year passed quickly, and in the spring of the next year, a memorial was flown from the border. The memorial said that Qu Tu and Cheng Rong, one civil and one military, built a border city for three hundred miles, and defeated the [-] dog soldiers and cavalry who came to invade. When it was passed into Beijing, the whole capital was immediately decorated with lights and festoons to celebrate the great victory. Minggong personally put on the nine-gun dragon robe and twelve crowns. Good news for ZTE in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"My Majesty, I think it's too early to celebrate the victory." Uncle Sun, the loyal censor, stepped forward and knelt with his wat.

"Bold and rebellious minister, today is the day when the emperor shows his power, how dare you say such ominous words?" Lu Kai, who was in the class, caught a glimpse of Ming Gong's slightly annoyed face, and hurried forward to stop him.

"Uncle Sun, you said it's too early to celebrate the victory, okay, I ask you, is there anything wrong with me, Da Zhou?" Ming Gong asked loudly.

"My lord, although the Great Zhou Dynasty practiced the feudal system, the vassal states refused to obey the orders of the emperor. In addition, the relatives of the emperor and corrupt officials took advantage of their privileges to annex the land of the people without scruple, making the people become slaves one after another. What's more, some officials dare to conceal the famine and embezzle the disaster relief money, and the people of Qishan are living in dire straits!" Uncle Sun kowtowed loudly.

"Presumptuous! My Great Zhou is obviously in good weather, and the power is everywhere. You, a mere man, dare to doubt the performance of the emperor. It is a crime that cannot be punished. Your Majesty, I ask you to put this traitor in prison and punish him!" Before Uncle Sun finished speaking, the prime minister Jiang Xuan viciously played the giant wat.

"Uncle Sun is guilty, he should be punished!" The courtiers shouted loudly, and the turmoil was abnormal.

Ming Gong's heart was agitated by Uncle Sun's loyal words just now, but Jiang Xuan's request made Long Yan furious, and he shouted in public: "Shut up!"

Unexpectedly, Ming Gong's scolding did not stop the discussion among the ministers, the general Wang Zhi stood up loyally, glanced at Jiang Xuan, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Sun suddenly couldn't speak. Respectfully, someone must have instigated it, it would be better to take him to prison first, ask for clarification and then sentence."

"Well, that's it, come here, take Uncle Sun down, and the Ministry of Education and Punishment will interrogate him severely!" Ming Gong flicked his sleeves, and walked away resentfully.

"Your Majesty, Empress Bao's Jianjia Palace has been restored, with carved beams and painted buildings, but it is much more spacious than before. You might as well go there to relax." Xinyue who followed Minggong leisurely saw Minggong's anger and dissatisfaction, and hurried Taking a step forward, he gently reminded Ming Gongdao.

"Yes, Xinyue, I still have Bao Si, let's go, let's go to Jianjia Palace to relax!" Ming Gong nodded, with his hands behind his back, he strolled to the jade steps of Jianjia Palace, but the ground was covered with golden orchids and weeds. It was very fragrant, and Bao Si happily brought Axi forward to salute.

"Get up, Ah Si, you look pretty good today, but you are still a little haggard, why, is there anything wrong with the repair of this palace?" Ming Gong said happily.

"Go back to the king, the concubine just saw your face deformed with anger!" Bao Si leisurely wiped Ming Gong's forehead with a handkerchief.

"Hahaha, yes, I forgot if I didn't say it. Today, the censor Sun Shu said a few words of loyalty to the ancestors. Unexpectedly, it aroused the attacks of the ministers in the court. The Jiang Xuan faction and the Wang Zhi faction secretly In the end, Wang Zhi suggested that Uncle Sun be scrutinized and what he said carefully. This is clearly trying to follow the vine and use this matter to attack Jiang's power. Look, before the widows say anything, they will Fighting started again." Mingong said sadly with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Sun is thinking of the country. Although he offends His Majesty's face, he is clean. His Majesty only needs to do things for the people fairly." Bao Si murmured.

"Well, Si'er, after all, you are still young and don't understand the affairs of the court. In fact, I don't know that Uncle Sun's words make sense. However, the struggle between the courts is far more complicated than I expected, and it will be triggered if it is pulled. The whole body." Ming Gong hugged Bao Si in his arms and sighed.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from the prime minister. Please speak kindly in front of the king and get rid of that uncle grandson!" In the silent Kunning Palace, Chonghua respectfully held up a bamboo slip and handed it to Jiang. in the palm of the hand.

Empress Jiang took a closer look, then sighed and said, "Chonghua, in fact, my palace has not been welcomed by the king for a long time. Princess' suggestion."

"Your Majesty, didn't Concubine Jin of Chonghua Palace ask you to cooperate with her in spreading rumors beside the king? According to my slaves, this Bao Si is not human at all, she was born by a goblin to subvert my great Zhou. Jiye, why don't we put it this way and blame all the disasters on her head, so that both Empress and Imperial Concubine Jin will look good!" Chonghua said.
