Moreover, the Taifu had been begging to see the emperor every day these days, but the Emperor always ignored him, which made the Taifu feel even more chilled.
The queen, on the other hand, was quiet and virtuous in the harem, and was protected by the red bird.
Since Taifu took the lead and agreed, the others could only choose to follow his footsteps.
Just try it like this, who asked the emperor to ignore everything now.
After the matter was decided, we had to ask the emperor for his opinion. Such a big matter had to be informed to the emperor.
If you don't inform the emperor, you're not taking him seriously.
The group arrived outside the emperor's palace, and the queen mother shouted outside:
"Your Majesty, the Ai family has come to see you."
"Come again, it's not over yet! I don't want to see you." Bian Cheng's voice came.
"Your Majesty, the old ministers have something to ask for." Several ministers shouted loudly.
"Mother, what do you mean by bringing so many people here? I know how to do things myself, and I don't need these old things to teach me." Bian Cheng snorted.
The Queen Mother's face darkened, how could the Emperor say such things to these ministers
She looked at the faces of the ministers and saw that something was wrong. She couldn't help but scolded them in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, is your mother an old woman in your heart?"
"Go away." The Queen Mother said to the eunuch guarding the door, looking like she was about to go in directly.
"Empress Dowager, please don't embarrass this servant, or he will die." The eunuch was about to cry, but he knelt down and begged.
"You deserve your life if you die. It is your fault that you have been by the Emperor's side all day long, and that you have failed to give honest advice and failed to make the Emperor better." The Queen Mother scolded.
"The Queen Mother..." the eunuchs shouted, but they got out of the way. If they didn't, they might die now.
The queen mother walked in first, followed closely by Meng Li and several ministers. As soon as she entered, the strong smell of alcohol hit her face, which was pungent and made people feel uncomfortable.
Looking at Bian Cheng again, he was still leaning on the bed, and his whole body was in a twisted state. If he wasn't drunk, then he was more than that.
"Your Majesty, what do you look like!" The Queen Mother hates iron and cannot be transformed into steel. This behavior in front of the ministers can be said to have completely lost her majesty.
It's also embarrassing.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was distressed, Meng Li walked over and wanted to help Bian Cheng up. When the minister came, he had to at least sit up.
But as soon as Meng Li was halfway helped, Bian Cheng pushed Meng Li away and angrily said:
"Go away, who gave you the courage to touch me? I'm fine. I can get up on my own. I'm a man who never gets drunk."
Bian Cheng's strength in pushing Meng Li away was not small, but Meng Li's own ability would not push her very far. She could stand firm, but she did not choose to stand firm. Instead, she fell to the ground and then cried miserably. Looking at Bian Cheng said:
"Your Majesty, I just want you to get up."
"Hey..." The Queen Mother walked over quickly, helped Meng Li up, and asked:
"Are you OK."
"Mother, my concubine is fine." Although Meng Li said this, his expression was a little painful, as if he was suppressing pain.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several ministers, who shook their heads slightly. Not only did the emperor become addicted to alcohol, but he also had such a violent temper.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family is here today to discuss something with you." The Queen Mother glanced at several ministers and knew that it was her turn to speak.
Of course, bringing these ministers here actually has another purpose.
When several ministers agreed that the queen would temporarily take charge of the government and then told the emperor about it, would the emperor be anxious
If he is anxious and unwilling to let the queen take over temporarily, he must cheer up.
It was also a means of motivating the emperor.
This is the best thing. The Queen Mother has prepared two ways for herself.
"No matter what happens, don't come to me. I don't want to hear it." Bian Cheng fell down again and never looked at the people present.
It seems that even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with him.
Queen Mother: “…”
"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother was angry, aggrieved, and bored.
Do you know how many people's hearts are chilled by this behavior
"What's your name? Mother, if you have nothing to do, you can go back to your palace. You are old and don't have to worry about it." Bian Cheng had a headache from drinking and was made even more uncomfortable by the Queen Mother's slightly sharp voice.
The queen mother, who was a dignified woman, was scolded by the emperor in front of so many people. Her face was very upset and she said cruelly:
"Your Majesty, the Ai family wants to tell you that if you really have no interest in government affairs, let the queen take over temporarily. The queen is also the most suitable candidate. The person protected by the Zhuniao will definitely be able to protect the people."
"After all, one person still needs to make decisions on matters in this world."
"What?" Bian Cheng suddenly sat up, his eyes wandering around everyone, and finally fell on Meng Li. He asked:
"You want to replace me?"
"The emperor is wronged!" Meng Li immediately knelt down and cried out, she said:
"I very much hope that the emperor can cheer up and return to the government, and I don't dare to have such undesirable thoughts. I also ask the emperor to cheer up. As long as the emperor can cheer up, I am willing to do anything I ask."
"Really? Then go to hell!" The emperor suddenly roared viciously.
"You can't even protect my woman, but you still want to protect this country? How ridiculous!" He looked at Meng Li with hatred in his eyes.
The Taifu couldn't stand it any longer, so he couldn't help but stand up, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, although the queen is protected by the red bird, she cannot guarantee the immortality of the world. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the rules of heaven and earth, and even the red bird cannot violate it."
"Old man, do you mean that my beauty deserves to die?" He suddenly turned his hateful eyes to the Taifu.
"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother was so anxious that the Emperor's unreasonable look was unbearable.
"Life and death are matters of destiny. Your Majesty, don't let yourself sink into it. Even the deceased Concubine Liu would not want to see this scene." Taifu said with a frustrated look.
Bian Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed wildly for a few times, then got down to the ground, swaying his body, spreading his arms and dancing, looking up and saying:
"Destiny? How ridiculous. She left me at such a young age, so why are you still mumbling here at such an old age? Isn't this unfair?"
Everyone was speechless.
The emperor really couldn't find anything to blame, so he blamed the sky.
The emperor has always been in awe of God, and instead of complaining like this, isn't he afraid of punishment from God
Bian Cheng ran to Meng Li again, pinched Meng Li's chin, and looked at him with a sinister look:
"Asking you? You still want to protect the people today, so why didn't you protect my beauty? Or do you have ulterior motives?"
"Um?"
"Are you trying to replace her? It's taboo to interfere in politics in the harem, don't you know?"
"Your ambition is not small!" Bian Cheng pressed his hands harder and harder, but Meng Li said firmly:
"If the emperor thinks that the fault lies with me and that I have bad intentions, then just strangle me to death. I will never resist."
