Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

This time, the whole hall became silent.

Everyone was quiet. Compared to the quietness I felt just before I entered with Chang Qing, the quietness at this moment was more tense. It seemed that as long as one person spoke again, it would pierce this quiet mask. Coming from here is a squall.

Enlarge the inner court.

Nangong Jinhong finally said this. This is the news that Kouer came to tell me last night.

If not expected, the next few people will meet and then ...

Thinking of this, I immediately said: "This, expanding the inner court, loses the significance of inner court discussions."

As soon as my words fell, no one around them even responded to this sentence. Immediately, a young imperial history stepped forward and pointed at me sharply: "On top of the court, there is a woman doing politics!"

The yell was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it exploded suddenly, shocking me all.

I almost lost sight of it.

From the moment I entered the main hall, I didn't speak at will. It wasn't until Nangong Jinhong asked me about Pei Yuanzhang's condition that I carefully answered him and didn't say much. Just now, when I heard him suggest to expand the inner court, I was in a hurry when I thought of what Kouer told me yesterday.

This time, I don't even need them to deal with me, every man above Chaotang will not let me off easily.

Sure enough, after the scolding, the other officials looked at me, looking at me with anger and coldness.

"It's so unruly!"

"That is, a woman who knows something and dares not speak up!"

"Not even a concubine, dare to come to the court to add words? Drag her down!"

Seeing that those people were becoming more and more hostile to me, at this moment, Chang Qing suddenly took a step forward, stopped in front of me, and said to the officials, "Masters, Honmiya is also a woman. Honmiya can say here A word? "

Those officials were stunned by her, and the young Yushi had just stunned.

Chang Qing smiled lightly and said, "This palace is also a woman and has no power to interfere in the administration of the court, but you have also said that the prince is young. It is indeed young, so there are some words. As the mother of the prince, this palace wants to make clear . "

Those officials you look at me, I look at you, I dare not speak easily.

Chang Qing walked step by step in the center of the hall, watching the courtiers with different looks, solemnly said, "The establishment of the inner court is the emperor's emphasis on the politics of the court. Nothing is too much. Therefore, Lord Nangong is right, the inner court It cannot be abolished; the Prince's supervision of the country was also proposed by Master Fu. It is reasonable and reasonable to conform to the ancestors. Moreover, the Prince is the reserve monarch of the country and allowed him to participate in the discussion of government. In the future, he will be better able to take on his responsibilities and carry the rivers and mountains left to him by the emperor. In this case, it is not appropriate to expand the inner court. "

Nangong Jinhong said: "What's wrong?"

Chang Qing coughed, and I hurried forward to help her, stroking her back to help her smooth, said softly, "Queen, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little cold, and my throat is uncomfortable."

"that--"

"Anyway, lightness, you know the palace's heart best. What the palace wants to say, you finish it for the palace."

My heart beat, I looked up at her, but saw her covering her mouth, pretending to be coughing, and blinking hard at me.

She, this is giving me a chance!

Feeling her hands pinch me hard, as if giving me strength, I took a deep breath and turned to look at the ministers whose faces changed suddenly, using high or low voices. , Slowly and solemnly said, "Please forgive me."

"..."

The ministers were speechless for a moment.

I took another deep breath, and then said, "The queen mother-in-law thinks that the inner court is set by the emperor, and has only absorbed a few ministers, in order to strengthen the management of the court's government, so that the voices of all ministries can be heard. The will of the emperor was also promulgated quickly and effectively implemented. Lord Zheng— "

I turned my head to Zheng Zhui, he hesitated a moment, and subconsciously said "um", and then I continued to say, "Prior Lord Zheng asked those words from His Royal Highness. I would like to ask, How long does it take for the processing of the ministry to be allocated to the ministry? "

He said: "About a month."

"So, this time?"

"... less than half a month."

"Yes, the efficiency of the administration is half as fast. Isn't it because of the inner court's concentrated discussions and the result of fierce and popular actions? If the inner court is expanded, it will not be the same as in previous years. Everyone will be noisy. You say you, I will be mine. , So how do you behave normally? "

"..."

"Furthermore, His Royal Highness is indeed a young man. He knows very little about the affairs of the court. The more this is, the more support is needed from several ministers. If the inner court is expanded, it will be the discussion of the ministers. 'What's the point, anyway?'

Speaking of this, I saw Nangong Jinhong's face sinking noticeably.

What I said just now is not only refuting him, but the last sentence has even led his proposal directly to the road of "bullying the young master and usurping power".

I felt his expression was wrong.

However, he was still so anxious that instead of confronting me immediately, he turned around and glanced at the people around him. Immediately, Zheng Zhui, who was still a little dreadful when I asked, pointed at me sharply and said, "Yan Lightness, you are so brave, as a civilian, you dare to point your finger on the chapel, what crime should you take !? "

Chang Qing's expression also sank, and he said immediately, "Zheng Lang, this palace has already said these things, this palace is about to say, it's just letting lightness repeat it."

Zheng Zhui was stunned by her, but on the other side, Fang Tongting had stood up and said positively: "Then Wei Chen is afraid to enter the queen's queen's maiden's court, and there is no reason for women to do politics!"

Sure enough, they still hold on to this sentence!

At this moment, Chang Qing's face was also a little unsightly, a burst of red and a burst of white, like a slap in the face, and more powerless things, whether we know the truth of the matter, but on the table, Zheng Zhui and Fang Tongting are all right, so as long as they catch the phrase "Where can a woman do politics", it's enough to stamp our words on the soles of our feet!

The thoughts on the side were anxious: "After the mother is a country, why can't you say it?"

Nangong Jinhong smiled lightly and said to him: "His Royal Highness said so, it can be seen that His Royal Highness is indeed young. Pheasant Sichen, it is not a good thing to find a home. This is not a good thing, Master Fu. Learn more, wouldn't this have been said before? "

Fu Bajiu was dozing off, just woke up, and said suddenly: "Ah?"

Everyone saw that he was deaf and dumb. He was immediately angry and funny. Nangong Jinhong didn't know what to say. He just exhaled with his nose, then turned his head, and said to Chang Qing, "Even Queen Mother, even if In the future, the queen and noble concubines will rule the crimes of their servants. Some things must be said by the officials. The former dynasty is different from the harem. Many things are not the harem's maiden ... and some ordinary people can think and understand .Although the saying goes, governing a great country is like cooking a small country, but I have never heard that the person who cooks a small country can really govern a large country. So— "

My face sank and I looked at him coldly: "Master Nangong, who can take this heavy responsibility and govern such a great country?"

Nangong Jinhong glanced at me as if disdain to talk to me, but after all the words had been delivered to his mouth, he could not help but said slowly, "My official ..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside and looked up, but a little **** rushed in from outside.

When the father-in-law saw it, he immediately stepped forward.

The little **** stood outside the threshold and spoke a few words in the ears of the father-in-law. The father-in-law's expression sank, he immediately waved at him, and then came in.

Chang Qing looked at him and asked, "Master Jade, what happened?"

The father-in-law looked at us a few more times, and then whispered, "Mrs. Queen, ladies and gentlemen, your highness, some people ask for an interview."

"Who wants to see you?"

"Jinhou Gongsun's son Gongsun Qi, Runan Yuan Mingde, Yunzhong ..."

He said the names of several people in a series, and Chang Qing and I looked at each other, and my heart sank.

These people are really here.

Nangong Jinhong just said that he wants to expand the inner court. If he wants to propose a few people, they will appear. It's like he was in a hurry to catch up with these few people. It wasn't just us. The old ministers who just spoke in the hall were surprised, and looked at Nangong Jinhong.

This time, the words that Nangong Jinhong just said have no need to be exported.

However, he also stood still, with a complex expression on his face.

Yu Gong bulletin finished the names of those people and hesitated, "Queen maiden, can you declare them to go to the temple?"

Chang Qing's face also became unsightly.

After all, just now she was put in the words "No woman can do politics on the court", and now these people have asked to enter the country. This is no longer in the harem's management scope, and she cannot easily stop it. The officials in the court have something to say.

Seeing her hesitant, Father Jade also hesitated, and said gently, "Mother ..."

She thought about it and simply turned to look at Nangong Jinhong and Fu Basao, and said, "Master Fu, Master Nangong, you are all emperors who rely on the thigh, this—"

This time, without waiting for Nangong Jinhong to speak, Fu Bazhen opened his mouth first. He said, "They are all here to meet the emperor, but now the emperor's dragon body is unsafe, and he is still resting. He will declare them to the hall and let them see him. Who?"

Chang Qing nodded immediately and said, "Reasonable."

She was about to turn back and instruct the father-in-law Yu, but Fang Tongting said, "But why didn't Master Fu think that they came to see the emperor from a long distance? One side, let them go back? "

"Yeah." Another prince also nodded. "Rejected without seeing it. There has never been such a precedent in the DPRK."

This time, Chabi Xing said with a smile: "Is it possible that some adults will let them enter the harem, go to Yihua Palace, and see the emperor's side?"

As soon as he spoke, there was no seriousness!

When the two princes heard it, their expressions froze instantly, and Nangong Jinhong beside it froze there. For a time, they didn't know whether to blame him for being rude, or blame him for making false statements.

But Fu Bazhen gave him a slap backhand: "Who made you talk nonsense!"

Chabichin immediately lowered his head and stepped back: "The student knew something wrong."

These times, the chaos is a bit ridiculous, but Chabixing's words did make them bad to announce the people directly to the temple. When Nangong Jinhong saw a mess, he immediately came out and said, "The queen mother, Why can't they even see them? These people are the pillars of the court. Even if the Emperor's dragon is unsafe at this moment, he can't see them, but maybe they still have some new ideas about the chaos in the current Central China?

"..."

Chang Qing's complexion suddenly became heavy.

What else do these people think?

Once they appear, they will certainly agree with the previous proposal of expanding the inner court, and how many people will be absorbed by this expansion, and how many will be Nangong Jinhong's camp, it is really difficult to imagine. As a result, it is almost inevitable that the DPRK will fall into their hands.

Chang Qing gritted his teeth and was about to open his mouth, and Chabixing, who was next to him, said eloquently, "Master Nangong, the court's affairs are the court's affairs, and the inner court will not involve the foreign court. Then we have a problem here. , Naturally you should not ask anyone else. "

Nangong Jinhong's face was cold, and he turned to look at him: "Do you mean, the inner court can't expand?"

Chabi Xing said with a smile: "Excuse me, the inner court can not only expand, but at this time, it should shrink."

"What? Zoom out ?!"

When Nangong Jinhong heard it, he was very angry and laughed. Those around him couldn't help but laughed. After he laughed, he said to Chabixin: "You talk about it, the inner court shrinks. How small is it? "

Chabixing still kept his face unchanged, and even said with a little seriousness: "Just as Master Fu just said, let the prince supervise the country."

Nangong Jinhong looked at him coldly: "Prince's supervision of the kingdom? But you just saw that, the prince is very young, how can he deliver the Jiangshan Club to his hands at this moment?"

Chabi Xing said: "The prince is young and embarrassed. He will nominate another person to assist him in politics."

Nangong Jinhong has almost sneered-even the problems of the inner court have not been resolved. At this time, Chabixing actually proposed to recommend a person to assist the government. In their view, it is ridiculous. At this moment, regardless of this situation, Whoever nominates them will be opposed by everyone, and it is absolutely impossible for such a person to really appear, calm down several sides of the battle, and sit in the position of assistant minister.

He sneered: "Well, talk about it, who would you recommend?"

This time, Chabixin didn't answer immediately, he just looked up and looked out the door.

A figure slowly walked to the door.

At this moment, the sun shone in from behind him, making some people not see his face, but everyone, when he saw that figure, held his breath subconsciously.
