Seventy-second bowl of soup (eight)
It should be changed now, and it should be called Queen Mother Wei. This empress dowager is not quite the same as the previous empress dowagers. She is the youngest and most decisive in history. The little emperor was still in her infancy, so she began to take care of the government affairs. At first, no one looked down on her. She was just a weak woman, and she might have some skills in managing the harem, but this country's major affairs were men's affairs, so why would women join in the fun
What's more, Marshal Wei is not in the capital, without the backing of the Wei family, and the emperor is newly dead, there are not a few people who want to seek wealth and wealth.
On the dragon chair is the little emperor. The little guy can't even talk, let alone know how to be an emperor. After the empress Wei who listened to the government behind the curtain gave orders that were completely different from those of the ministers after the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the Minister of the Household Department was not happy: "The queen mother Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, Your Majesty is a woman in a boudoir and does not understand government affairs, I think that Your Majesty really shouldn't be so arbitrary—"
Before he finished speaking, a woman's voice behind the bead curtain interrupted him: "So, Qing thinks that Ai's decision is wrong?"
"I don't dare." He said he didn't dare, but his face was full of contempt and disdain. His disrespect was too obvious. To put it bluntly, it was actually a kind of temptation. If the Empress Dowager Wei made a concession today, it would prove that both she and the little emperor could be controlled very easily. If she doesn't give in... Hubu Shangshu unceremoniously sneered, a weak woman, why wouldn't she give in? If Her Majesty is dead, who can protect her? !
"Don't dare." Empress Dowager Wei smiled lightly, "The Ai family really can't see what you dare not do."
The Queen Mother never laughed, but today she burst out laughing, somehow, it made people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts. Just when the Hubu Shangshu thought that the other party would give in, he heard the Queen Mother say: "This lord is disrespectful to Ai's family, and Ai's family doesn't like it very much. This is disloyalty. Your Majesty came to force Ai's family right after his death." It is unrighteous for the orphans and widowed mothers in this family, and it is unfilial for the parents to bring them up without regard for the four dimensions. People like Qing who are unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous are not as good as this head and don't want it."
As soon as the words fell, two ghostly body guards in black appeared out of nowhere, they caught the Hubu Shangshu like an eagle catching a chick, and disappeared almost in the blink of an eye. A moment later, they came in with a bloody head , blood dripped all over the floor, because he died so quickly, the expression on his face was still shocked, and he didn't even have time to close his eyes.
This scene was frightening, but the queen mother behind the curtain said in a cold voice, "Okay, what do you think of the Ai family's decision now?"
She doesn't like to talk nonsense with these people. They just follow what she says, and the rest is not important at all. Empress Dowager Wei was playing with the armor in her hand behind the curtain, her eyes were slightly lowered, she was not happy because of her prestige, nor was she in a bad mood because she just killed someone.
She just... feels nothing, that's all.
The majestic third-rank official was chopped off so neatly, just like cutting vegetables and melons in the vegetable market, which is enough to show how cruel and cruel the Queen Mother is. Besides... Those two black-clothed guards just now... Even if they still had delusions in their hearts, no one dared to act rashly. That's how people are, soft words don't work, you just need to use power to crush them. They knew they were afraid, so they would naturally obey.
I don't know who took the lead first: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Young lady is wise!"
"Young lady is wise!"
Just like that, the hall sounded one after another of empress wiseness, and the ministers knelt on the ground and did not even dare to lift their heads. But the Queen Mother Wei behind the curtain was neither happy nor complacent, and was even lazy in perfunctory. "In this case, let's retreat. Aijia hopes that everything will be done according to Aijia's wishes. All the ministers are smart people. Some things don't need to be said by Aijia to understand."
She is a weak woman, and sometimes she is very difficult. Your Majesty is dead, and the only person in this world who can make her suffer willingly is gone, so what else does she care about.
Once this happened, no one dared to be rude to Queen Mother Wei, even if the little emperor couldn't even speak, even if Queen Mother Wei was just a woman.
Facts have proved that Queen Mother Wei's decision-making is not wrong, even more prescient than their so-called "ministers". Not only did it solve the flood problem, but it also took into account all kinds of situations that may happen afterwards, plus her extremely cruel treatment of foreign parties—yes, except for the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, most people who are greedy for profit want to come Take a share.
But these dissidents—all, all died.
Empress Dowager Wei doesn't like others to question her, and she doesn't like others to be rude to her, so her handling method is also very simple, just drag it out.
Until no one dared to show that "ah, it's just a woman" look in front of her.
No matter how stupid they are, they should know that even if Marshal Wei is not in the capital, the Empress Dowager Wei still has a strong backing. She has a Buddha in her hand to block and kill Buddha ghosts as an army of ghosts, which makes her decision-making will be implemented immediately. She doesn't need to use gentle language and kind attitude to get along with the ministers, otherwise they won't be convinced, she just needs them to fear her and know that she can never be disobeyed.
This is enough.
If His Majesty can really read people's hearts, then why can't it be seen that the Wei family has no intention of rebelling at all? He wanted his power back, even if he told his father—but he wouldn't. Not only did he refuse, but he even came to plot against the Wei family. I have lived in an environment of intrigue for a long time, and I thought that everyone was just like him. Now that she has fulfilled his wish and let him die at the hands of the Wei family, it must not be a disappointment to him.
Thinking of this, Queen Mother Wei smiled lightly.
Time flies by like a fleeting horse, and it has passed in the blink of an eye. Now the little emperor has lost his crown and is about to reach the age of choosing a concubine, but the years have not left any traces on the Empress Dowager Wei, she is still as beautiful as before. She is not someone who likes to seize power, the little emperor is her own flesh and blood, she worked hard to bring him up, taught him everything she could teach, and then gave everything to him.
This country should usher in the new world.
It's just that this child is good everywhere, just clingy. When he was eight years old, when he first went to court by himself, the ministers saw that the Queen Mother Wei was not there, and there was only a limp and cute little emperor left. The anger that had been oppressed for many years suddenly rose up. After so many years, they have also figured out the Queen Mother's temperament. As long as the country's society is not endangered, as long as it does not lose its status, as long as it always remembers the etiquette of the monarch and ministers to do things for the country, then it's okay to break the rules once in a while.
Let them see how the little emperor has grown after being taught by the empress dowager herself for these years!
As a result, the little emperor was so timid that he was frightened and cried!
Thinking about it, even the emperor was still a child. The ministers looked at each other with a guilty conscience, coughed twice in embarrassment, and began to blame each other.
"Hey, why did you speak so badly just now? That's Your Majesty, I'll tell you!"
"You still have the face to say that it wasn't you who I glared at Your Majesty just now?"
"You two don't say who you are, I think you are doing it on purpose!"
Balabala quarreled, but fortunately Huazhi didn't feel relieved to come over to take a look, and ran back to report the situation to the Queen Mother. Empress Dowager Wei was sipping tea and said, "Don't worry."
How could Huazhi not be worried, she watched the little emperor grow up, and she couldn't bear him to eat even a little bit of hardship. But the Queen Mother Wei said: "Just watch." That kid just looks like a bully, but in fact he has more eyes than anyone else.
Rather than being a precocious little emperor and being exploited by the ministers, it is better to be a little rascal, at least not to anger yourself.
Sure enough, the little emperor cried enough on the dragon chair, and suddenly lost his temper, and kicked with two little feet: "Come on! Give them to me—give them to me! Pull them out and hit them with a board! Ten blows each!"
The ministers in the quarrel were stunned.
The guards around the little emperor were all chosen by the Queen Mother. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and loyal. Even if the little emperor told them to die, they would not frown. Has there ever been such a thing
Before today, no, but starting today, there is.
Ten boards per person, the pain is really painful, but it is not fatal. After the beating, the ministers knelt on the ground and said long live. He clearly saw the evil in that fairy-like smile.
From then on, civil and military officials began to live in dire straits. I thought that the icy Empress Dowager Wei was the most difficult to deal with, but now that the little emperor is under the dictatorship, I realize that what is more terrifying than icy and icy is moodiness!
They were tossed about by the little emperor to beg the Queen Mother Wei, but the Queen Mother Wei lightly said that the family doesn't care about things now, so she refused them all! As time passed, the ministers began to gradually understand, oh... The little emperor looks cute and cute, but he was actually carved out of the same mold as the queen mother, and they are going to seek justice, maybe these are all taught by the queen mother!
In this way, under the influence of the little emperor, the ministers have passed through these difficult years, and finally, now that His Majesty is going to choose a concubine, this time, he must not be allowed to do anything wrong again! Even if it's a board, they have to put this matter on the right track!
The little emperor didn't know that he was being watched by the ministers, and he still went to the Queen Mother Wei to read books every day after going to the court and approving the papers. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door this day, he heard the voice of Hua Zhi vividly narrating from inside. When he came to court today, he punished the bullying son of the Minister of the Ministry of War to learn how to bark like a dog!
