Chapter 246 Where to live? Confrontation between monarch and minister
The Queen Mother simply said a few words and asked Fanghua to take Ji Qingyuan to settle down in the prepared palace first.
Why haven't you arranged a palace for her yet?
Ji Qingwu asked: "Empress Dowager, where do I live?"
The Queen Mother said: "Qingwu, sit down first, where I live will be discussed later. , Aijia wants to chat with you about home affairs.”
Shi Xi, who observed the Queen Mother's expression, led the maids out.
Ji Qingwu intuitively felt that there was a big problem in this later, and what the Queen Mother wanted to say to her now seemed to be "common words" that could not be heard by outsiders.
As soon as the palace door closed, the Queen Mother said: "Qingwu, there is no need to hide the matter between you and the Emperor from the Ai family anymore."
Ji Qingwu immediately nodded in fear: "It turns out that the Queen Mother knew everything."
The Queen Mother's eyes and tone were full of understanding.
"You kid, what else are you hiding with the Ai family?"
Ever since Emperor Wusu Jianzuo, the Queen Mother has been trying to surround the emperor with people. However, the draft in the past two years will be from the long-serving family. The women in the families of important ministers were chosen all over.
Only the Ji family is missing.
Ji Qingyuan was beautiful but had an unpleasant personality. Ji Qingwu, who finally found her home, thought she was useless.
Unexpectedly, things have turned around now, and Emperor Wu Su made this exception first.
When the Queen Mother saw Ji Qingwu again, she felt that she was in good health and that she was pleasing to the eye.
Ji Qingwu pursed his lips and looked embarrassed.
The Queen Mother said: "The Ai family has no intention of blaming you. The emperor is not a biological child of the Ai family. In the final analysis, he is still separated from the Ai family. If your surname was not Ji, you might have entered this palace long ago. .”
"The Ji family relies on the Ai family for support. The Ai family does not want the Ji family to decline like this a hundred years later."
Ji Qingwu followed the tone and pauses of the Queen Mother's words, nodding lightly at the right time. , and found the right moment to sigh.
The vertical lines between the Queen Mother's eyebrows appeared and she said: "Qingwu, can you understand the painstaking efforts of the Ai family?"
Ji Qingwu was very cooperative and immediately nodded with bitterness and hatred.
The Queen Mother asked: "Qingwu, how did you feel that day at the Qinzheng Palace?"
Ji Qingwu thought she just needed to lend an ear to listen, but she didn't expect that she Still have to answer questions.
Her eyes flashed and her answer was ambiguous.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I have a lot of feelings. It is beyond my imagination that such a thing can happen."
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement: "The Ai family can't imagine it."
"Wei The brother whom the concubine has always relied on is kneeling outside the hall, but the niece of the Ai family is sitting in the Qinzheng Hall. The Ai family feels relieved when they think of this scene. "
Ji Qingwu didn't know what to do. Don't give a word of warning.
Your biological son, King Yong, is also kneeling miserably outside.
The Queen Mother seemed to have been able to foresee the glorious rise of the Ji family in the palace in the future, and her mind was filled with excitement.
She pulled Ji Qingwu again and talked for a long time.
Unconsciously, the Queen Mother said a lot. With a dry mouth, she picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sat back on the throne.
"The Ai family is tired, please step back."
Ji Qingwu's back felt a little stiff from sitting. She stood up and was about to walk out when she paused. Lived.
She turned around and called: "The Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was confused: "What's wrong?"
Ji Qingwu was more confused than she was: "Where is the right place for me to live?"
The Queen Mother Feng Chai touched her temples, glanced at her, and said, "This child, do you still need to be taught by the Aijia?"
He didn't arrange a place for her to live, and refused to explain clearly. Let her take the initiative to get closer to the emperor. Ji Qingwu pretended to be confused and said, "Empress Dowager, I'll go live with my fourth sister."
The Queen Mother felt that what she just said was in vain, and the child was not happy at all.
She frowned and said: "Do you know what you are doing in the palace?"
Ji Qingwu clasped his hands in front of him and said solemnly: "I am helping the Queen Mother prepare. It’s the Longevity Festival.”

Morning this morning.
After Wei Ting was demoted two levels of official position, he was petitioned by people from Yushitai.
“Your Majesty, Mr. Wei was transferred to the commander of the forward battalion, but he neglected his duties. In the past two days, many people have seen Mr. Wei appearing in a medical clinic in the city during the day.”
Although Wei Ting’s gift of Welwitschia was rejected, he still continued to send flowers, plants, birds and fish to the hospital every day.
The one sent over yesterday was a green turtle.
Upon hearing the word "medical center", Emperor Wu Su changed his sitting posture slightly. The secret reports sent from all over the world in the past few days included the matter of the medical center.
His Royal Highness Lu Juan caught a glimpse of the emperor's movements, and for the first time he couldn't guess whether he was happy or unhappy.
Emperor Wu Su said: "Master Wei is not satisfied with the official position of the commander of the forward battalion?"
Wei Ting stood up with his head held high and cupped his hands and said: "The general has been in the north for many years. General Zhenbei suddenly became the commander of the forward battalion. He is not used to it, so he often forgets that he still has this important position. The general is old and has a bad memory."
After the words fell, the palace returned to death. The quietness.
Wei Ting became more and more courageous and dared to speak to the emperor in court.
Emperor Wu Su said in a low voice: "Do you have a bad memory?"
Wei Ting was not afraid: "Exactly."
Emperor Wu Su lowered his eyebrows. The heavy aura fell not only on Wei Ting's side, but also on each of the ministers standing below.
The ministers were silent, and no one dared to stand up and persuade the emperor when he was angry.
At this time, someone stood up.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty. I would like to say something. General Wei Ting has been at the border for a long time, fighting for the country on the battlefield. He speaks more frankly and does not mean any disrespect to the Emperor."
Wu When Emperor Su saw the people coming out, they were important ministers in purple robes.
"Su Xiang, I remember that you have no friendship with Mr. Wei, why do you stand up and speak for him?"
Su Fengyue is nearly sixty years old, with gray hair on his temples, and he looks very handsome. The behavior of an upright minister.
"I only stand on the other side of the argument. Even if Your Majesty doesn't like hearing it, I still want to say the last thing. Don't let the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border be chilled."
Emperor Wu Su's eyes were cold and faint. Authentic saying: "Everyone's loyal words are offensive to the ears. But is this a loyal message, or is it because the person who said this is a rebellious minister and has no intention of being respectful to me? "
No one in the palace can afford the word "rebellious minister", even Su, who is the prime minister? Feng Yue could not speak any more.
Wei Ting turned around and said: "I will be grateful to Mr. Su, but there is really no need to speak for me. I will believe that justice is in the heart of the people."
"What a sentence: justice is in the hearts of the people!"
Emperor Wu Su waved his robe sleeves and dropped the memorial of the previous discussion on the gold bricks.
"Wei Ting behaves in a wrong way, neglects his duties, has no ambition to be a loyal minister, and ignores the court's plans. He is now demoted to the subordinate officer of the infantry camp."
The subordinate officer of the infantry camp is the city gate. Li, he is a seventh-grade petty official.
After Wei Ting returned to the court, he went from a first-grade general to a third-grade forward battalion commander, and now to a seventh-grade city gatekeeper.
It can be seen that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers has completely fallen apart. Everyone knows that it is because of military power.
Emperor Wu Su said coldly: "I hope you will take this as a warning and as an anger!"
Wei Ting looked back at the emperor and raised his voice: "I thank you for your kindness!"
Emperor Wu Su said angrily: "Retreat! Wei Ting went to the Qinzheng Hall to wait for the decree. After receiving the decree, he went to the city gate to report." )
