In the back cabinet of the Daqing Palace, Liu E quietly watched Qian Weiyan kneel down. Even she did not expect that Liu Mei's wife-in-law's desire for power had reached an outrageous level.
"The saint has a clear lesson. Qian Weiyan is loyal to the saint. If the saint needs it, Qian Weiyan can be the foundation of the saint!"
"absurd!"
Liu E scolded, interrupting Qian Weiyan who was about to continue showing his loyalty. Seeing him kneeling down begging for mercy, he sighed unbearably.
"O Holy Saint! You are the wife-in-law of my elder brother, and also a relative of the Great Song Dynasty! When I appointed you as Privy Councilor, it was the late emperor's move to preserve my palace and the official family! At present, the country is stable, internal and external are harmonious, and there can be no more troubles.
!”
Qian Weiyan did not expect Liu E's refusal to be so obvious, and there was no possibility of negotiation. He could only whisper: "If any of the courtiers make an offer for Xisheng, is there any room for change?"
Liu E shook her head and smiled bitterly: "There is room for change? Feng Zheng and other civil servants came with the excuse of resigning from office. Do you think there is any?"
Without waiting for his answer, he leaned on the throne and said, "I will record your achievements and I won't treat the Qian family badly. Just go to your post with peace of mind!"
Qian Weiyan was stunned for a moment, then slowly bowed: "I understand!"
Liu E's words have been made very clear, and she even did not hesitate to use the Qian family to threaten herself. It is obvious that she has reached some kind of compromise with the civil servants.
Qian Weiyan knew this kind of compromise without even guessing.
It must have been the concession of power and even etiquette by the civil servants to satisfy this woman who wanted to be the most powerful and virtuous woman in the Song Dynasty!
I am just a bargaining chip for other people's transactions. I was wrong from the beginning and I should not have chosen Liu Mei!
With his own wealth and the reputation of King Wu Yue Zhongyi, can't he show off his talents in the court?! How can even a deputy privy minister be so frightened and shaken that he was taken away by others?
Go!
Even if he gives up his reputation and works hard, in the end he will only end up with the name of Afu Xijin in the court!
Everything is your own fault!
But it was too late to think clearly now. Qian Weiyan stood up slowly and said: "I leave!"
After all, he is Liu Mei's uncle-in-law. Liu E couldn't bear to see Qian Weiyan look ten years older in an instant, and then said: "It is unwise for your Qian family to have a grudge against Ye An. Now it's still too late to turn around!"
This son is extraordinary, I have never seen anyone in the two dynasties who is willing to be a lonely minister and independent from the court!
What's more, this person is a well-educated and knowledgeable family. Although he is a miscellaneous family, but... after all, I don't want to offend him. If I can make friends with him, it will be a great blessing for the Qian family!"
Qian Weiyan smiled bitterly and said: "Erlang has a deep grudge with him, how can we resolve it? It is not the empress's wish for me to go out, it is the law of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty! I know your empress's thoughts and do not dare to complain! Thank you empress for your advice."
After saying that, he bowed and walked away, his back looking indescribably miserable.
Lan Jizong at the side slowly stepped out of the shadows and whispered: "My dear, Privy Minister Qian doesn't seem to want to go out. At the moment, he probably has a grudge against Ye Hou."
Liu E snorted coldly: "You are such an old killer, I just helped him resolve the grievances between the Qian family, and you bring him up again! I don't know what obstacles Ye An has, so you, a high-ranking official, can do it for him."
Say something!”
Lan Jizong smiled flatteringly: "I have to deal with some things after my death! My wife, I am old and can't serve you for a few days. When this body is no longer of use, I will go to live in another house to take care of myself."
When the time comes, I still hope that someone can treat me and talk to me to relieve my boredom, right?"
Liu E pursed her lips: "This Ye An is as arrogant as Qin Mumu! He is indeed a person from the same place. In their eyes, all living beings are equal. Even I and the officials are on the same page as you!"
Lan Jizong smiled: "Mother, the people in the countryside are so uneducated. There is no reason for you to get angry with them. Besides, when it comes to you, Qin Mumu has to squat down and Wanfu, and Ye An has to
Bow down and bow?"
Liu E smiled bitterly and said: "I feel unhappy when I see the arrogance in them. You have also seen that in the Daqing Hall, where the court meeting is so important, he actually dares to lean on the palace pillars and eat! I look so angry that I can't wait to see it.
Smash the ring on his head!"
"A saint calms down his anger, as is the case with all those who are proud of their talents. He has real abilities. The officials love his lectures the most. If they don't see him for two days, they will clamor to summon him to the palace!"
Thinking of Zhao Zhen's appearance in recent days, Liu E unconsciously wiped away the cold frost on her face, nodded slightly and said: "He can indeed attract officials to learn from him. He said he taught them the way of the emperor, but he has not said that until now.
There is no reason, but it arouses my curiosity!"
Lan Jizong's expression changed slightly, and after some struggle he still whispered: "Sage, Ye Hou is giving lectures to the officials, and what he is talking about is the theory of the divine weapon of the national tripod. It is better not to..."
"Presumptuous?! I can't even listen to this?! Who knows whether what he said is right or wrong? If the officials believe his ridiculous words, it will be a serious problem for the country. How will I face the Zhao family in a hundred years?
Ancestors! Do you want me to spy on the tripod?"
Liu E's voice was torn in anger, sharply irritating Lan Jizong's eardrums, and he knelt down and said: "I don't dare!"
There was silence in the palace. Liu E took a deep breath and said: "Get up! The sky and the earth are clear, and my heart can be seen in the sun and the moon! As a slave of the Zhao family, you should remind me."
Lan Jizong, who was lying on the ground, took a breath. Liu E could say such words, at least he would not punish himself. He said what he should say and did not dare to say any more to avoid causing trouble.
Chen Tong, the chamberlain outside the palace gate, knocked lightly on the palace door and whispered: "Chen Tong, chamberlain Huangmen, would like to see you."
Liu E looked at Lan Jizong who was getting up and said: "Clean up and let him in."
Lan Jizong quickly straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes and then said: "Enter the palace!"
"I would like to report to you, your Majesty, that after Ye Hou left the court, he traveled with Mr. Guanmiao. He also had Li Zunxu, the prince-in-law, with him. We had a very pleasant conversation and looked very friendly."
Liu E smiled: "It doesn't matter. No matter how stupid he is, Ye An will never get involved with his relatives. My sister-in-law's man is a man who is obsessed with learning. The official must have consulted him and attracted him.
Going to consult with Ye An again is not a big deal!
Speaking of which, my sister-in-law is very smart and knows how to let her man get close to Ye An, but the clan is far behind!"
Lan Jizong was stunned at the side, and then said: "Madam, Marquis Ye is going to give lectures to the officials in the afternoon, why did he leave the palace now?!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu E was stunned, and then squeezed out a sentence through her teeth: "You really don't know the importance, let Chen Lin bring him back!"
Chen Tong quickly ran out of the back pavilion of Daqing Hall, thinking to himself: This Yehou has never made the saint angry, but the saint cherishes talents after all!
In Ye An's heart, the world is big and food is the biggest thing. At this time, he is already hungry and his chest is pressed to his back. How can he have time to care about other things?
This is what makes Liu E angry.
He knew that he was going to give lectures to officials in the afternoon, but he just followed the others without incident!
It's just that Xuan Chengzi didn't know the lecture time at Zishan Hall. He even forgot about Li Zunxu! His son is the official's companion, and he will go to the palace to study with the official today!
