Chapter 219 King Yanping is dead
It was rare for Xiao Li to sit in the imperial study room to handle official duties, because Song Junzhan went to prepare for the exam, and other officials were also busy, so she, the emperor, was pulled out to be a bully.
In fact, it was originally a matter that the emperor should deal with, but she left it to Song Junzhan before. After being the emperor for so many days, she had not dealt with it at all. Looking at it now, isn't it a big headache?
Xiao Li is used to reading reports and plans, but now he has to read a bunch of greeting notes and all kinds of trivial matters from various departments, so that's not a big deal.
After dealing with it for half an hour, she became irritated. Why should the emperor handle these trivial matters? It was a waste of her time.
So she came up with a plan and fished Wang Wanqing over.
I have long been optimistic about the candidate for the secretary, so I don't have to use it in vain. The most important thing is that Wang Wanqing is very active.
Seeing her actively shuttled through the memorial like a hard-working bee, Xiao Li laughed, haha, the cow and horse that had just been shackled danced the most happily, I hope she can still laugh after ten days.
Wang Wanqing was completely unaware of the empress's "evil intentions" and was immersed in the joy of finally being able to relieve the empress' worries.
Xiao Li walked aside to drink tea, and after only two sips, someone came outside to report that Master Feng was dead.
Feng Yin moved out of the Feng family with his people, but Taifu Feng refused to leave. He dressed neatly, and then hanged himself in the Feng family study. Before leaving, he wrote a letter, the content of which was to hand over the position of head of the Feng family to his cousin Feng Yin. Zhe, at the same time expelled Feng Yin from the Feng family, and even forbade Feng Yin from wearing sackcloth and mourning for him.
Xiao Li was speechless after hearing this. How good is this old man?
Use his death to destroy his grandson?
But the old man was still somewhat sensible and didn't criticize her. If he said something like "Chicken Si Chen, Empress Wudao" before he died, she really wouldn't mind sending all nine of his clans down to accompany him.
"Let people watch Feng Yin. As long as he doesn't die, don't worry about it."
The little young master who was too protected faced his own storm.
After the destruction, it depends on him whether he will wither on the spot or rise from the ashes.
It's a pity to think that the dull little boy who blushed when touched and cried when kissed will never come back. But the rabbit who only knows how to act coquettishly is cute, but it becomes boring after watching it for a long time. .
As for Tai Fu Feng's death, well, his own life and going to the Palace of Hell, what does it have to do with her?
——
The Silver Armor Guards set out from the capital and arrived at the border in six days. However, the King of Southern Qi and King Yanping had already captured Shaanzhou, leaving only the last Yanpingzhou.
And at the last moment of the attack on Yanping Prefecture, the King of Nan Qi suddenly killed King Yanping.
Duan Ji, the deputy general of the army, captured the crazy King of Southern Qi and was ordered to take charge of the army at the critical moment. At the same time, he launched a general attack on Yanping Prefecture. In one day, he defeated the Yue invading army and recovered Yanping Prefecture.
Everyone is discussing this sudden appearance of a general called Duan Ji, whom no one has heard of before.
Xiao Li was also very surprised and praised loudly from above the Golden Palace: "There are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this army, Duan Ji, what a good name."
Only Lou Yan glanced at Xiao Li in surprise, the same name? Probably not.
He remembered the name Duan Ji, the horse trainer who trained the bloody horse Chi Yan on the racecourse.
At that time, the empress admired him very much and asked the man's name, but then there was no further follow-up.
Lou Xiang only heard their conversation because he was close at the time and his attention was always on the empress.
But he thought it was just an ordinary inquiry, but he didn't expect that His Majesty had already poached the person, and he didn't know when he had trained him into a general who could lead an army.
No, it should be said that His Majesty poached him because he thought he had talent. And even he, who had been paying attention to His Majesty, was unaware of all this.
The enemy was defeated and the lost territory was recovered. The empress was overjoyed, and all officials in the court received a 50% increase in salary.
After receiving tangible benefits, everyone could instantly feel the joy of the empress, and every one of them had pleasant words coming out of their mouths.
‘Your Majesty is wise and God bless Long Sheng. ’
‘The country is forever solid, long live your majesty. ’
Look, if you can get benefits, you are a good emperor.
Lin Yi resigned and went to have a drink with Tang Shuyu. The two of them were now in the household department and the other in the official department. They saw each other every day, but they were so busy that they couldn't even talk to each other. Even if they chatted, they might not be able to talk about official matters together.
Today I finally have some free time and can finally get together.
The topics they were chatting about now were all political affairs, and they couldn't avoid the empress, so naturally they couldn't avoid border issues.
Lin Yici looked solemn: "I don't think His Majesty ever thought of letting those two princes come back alive."
Tang Shuyu immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Yici: "I'll tell you, I don't believe you can't guess it."
Do you have to tell me if you guessed it?
Tang Shuyu raised her hand to pour the wine. She didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about her friend's character, she still answered: "They deserve to die. The empress only kept them because she was a daughter. She needed to keep them to ease the acceptance of the world. , now that His Majesty has secured the throne and the border has been recovered, now they are just facing the ending they deserve."
Not to mention that the empress is a woman, even if the empress is a man, these princes who are in their prime and have the ambition to almost get the throne are threats that should be eradicated.
The former emperor Xiao Jingyun is a living example. He was indecisive and did not care about family ties. As a result, several princes turned against him. If the empress had not protected him at that time, he might not have been able to keep his body.
There is only one throne, and the emperor is destined to be lonely.
The empress is ruthless, smart, and cool. This is what an emperor should be like.
"I know you have benevolent intentions, but don't forget who we relied on to get where we are today."
"You and I are able to become officials because of the opportunities given by the Empress. It is the bloody path that the Empress led her soldiers to fight. The official path you and I are now is paved with blood and life. If it was King Yanping who came to power, he would die. It’s just you and me, the poor people still have no chance to succeed.”
"Although the empress is cruel, she is not wrong. It is a battle for the throne between their brothers. It is strange for the immortals."
"Now the government is clear and transparent, selecting talents and promoting talents, and giving fair opportunities to every capable person. This is the court and wise king we dream of. What we have to do is to be loyal to His Majesty, not to scrutinize His Majesty. Neither you nor I are qualified. .”
Lin Yici was speechless: "I'll just say one thing, as for being lectured by you?"
Tang Shuyu: "I'm afraid that you can't understand clearly and lose such a close friend like you. The empress appreciates us, but it doesn't mean that she won't kill us if we do something wrong. Moreover, a group of officials below are now working hard to express themselves. Just waiting for the next promotion, let alone the imperial examination starting soon, more talented people better than you and me will be selected into the officialdom.”
"You have time to care about a prince who failed in his rebellion and was killed. Why not care about your own political achievements? Don't be promoted to the position of minister and lose the position of minister."
Lin Yici: Damn, is this brother’s mouth filled with poison?
It instantly refreshes the mind and refreshes the mind.
The killing begins, and ouch, the naming begins again.
It's going to kill me~~~~~ It's not enough to kill, it's not enough to kill at all
