217 Too Difficult(1/2)
Queen Tao hurried to Xingqing Palace.
Facing the expectant eyes of the ministers, she snorted coldly, brushed her sleeves and went straight into the bedroom.
These court officials are more ruthless than anyone else in their daily lives.
When he was about to be questioned, he began to think of her as the queen.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
This year's drought, the reason why the disaster is so serious is that it is all caused by the families behind this group of court officials.
As long as the tenant's land rent is lower and the money house has a lower interest, the rural farmers who are suffering from disaster will not be so miserable.
Everyone knows the truth, but no one even gives a little kindness.
When you speak, you will be called the people, and when you keep talking, you will be said about people's livelihood. However, none of the things you do really care about the people's livelihood.
A group of cruel people who eat people and don’t spit bones, haha…
Emperor Yongtai had woken up, didn't want to get up, and lay in bed and was autistic.
Sun Bangnian didn't dare to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him.
Seeing Queen Tao arrive, he was obviously relieved.
After all, he doesn't have to bear the pressure alone.
Queen Tao sat down at the head of the bed and gently held the emperor's hand.
The emperor did not move.
She whispered: "The court officials are waiting outside. If your Majesty does not want to see them, I will send them in person."
Emperor Yongtai finally made a move. He turned his head and stared at Empress Tao, "Are you watching my joke?"
Queen Tao looked sad, "At this time, Your Majesty is still doubting my intention?"
Emperor Yongtai suddenly sat up and pinched Queen Tao's neck.
Queen Tao was stunned and looked frightened.
Sun Bangnian opened his mouth even wide, but did not dare to make a sound, for fear of alarming the court officials outside, and even more afraid of alarming the emperor to become cannon fodder.
Emperor Yongtai roared sternly, "Don't even think of my jokes. No one wants to take away my country and country. Whoever dares to make a bad thing will kill anyone."
Queen Tao grabbed his hand, "Your Majesty, let me go. I'm almost breathless."
Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly, and finally let go of Queen Tao.
Queen Tao lay on the head of the bed, coughing so hard that she felt like she wanted to die.
She covered her neck and felt very uncomfortable.
Every breath I take is irritating my throat, causing pain.
Without looking, she knew that her neck must be blue and purple.
She raised her head and looked at Emperor Yongtai, her eyes calming like never before.
"Are your Majesty happy? Do you want me to give you my life?"
Emperor Yongtai was furious, "Do you dare to complain?"
"Why can't I complain?"
Queen Tao asked him directly.
Emperor Yongtai was confused by the queen's question.
He looked at Queen Tao in front of him with confusion, unable to understand why she had such a bad attitude. Aren’t you afraid that he would punish her?
Queen Tao tidied up her collar and tried to cover the blue and purple marks on her neck.
It was very hot, and ice basins were placed in the bedroom, which still couldn't stop the heat.
Sun Bangnian was sweating profusely and stood in the corner, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
I just regret that there is no invisibility.
Queen Tao said calmly: "The world is drought and people's livelihood is in decline. The autumn harvest has begun in the south, but the harvest is less than 30% of the previous years. Not to mention paying taxes, even eating is a problem. The granary of the government is empty, and the court has not taken out any excess grain. Sanlang went out of Beijing to provide disaster relief, and he also had to rely on Princess Chengyang to provide food for support.
At this time, Your Majesty did not think about how to provide disaster relief, alleviate the disaster, and settled the victims, but showed off her might in the palace, slashing people with swords, and even strangling me to death. Since the rebellion between the princes and kings, Your Majesty was really full of energy and had forgotten the thin ice when he first ascended the throne, and was trembling. Now, can Your Majesty bear the blow?”
"You are arrogant!" Emperor Yongtai scolded angrily.
Queen Tao sneered, "I am indeed presumptuous! But Your Majesty has already attacked me, and I have to say something before I die, otherwise I am afraid that I will have no time. Your Majesty is concerned about the people's livelihood and the country of the Great Wei Dynasty. He deeply hates local officials for not thinking about disaster relief, but instead colludes with local tyrants and force good people to become slaves.
A bunch of bad apples and there is evidence of ready-made evidence. As the saying goes, it is said that extraordinary times do extraordinary things. Why don’t Your Majesty pick up the butcher knife, learn from the Emperor Zhongzong, and kill all corrupt officials in the world. Kill him and he will be bloody, but he doesn’t believe that anyone dares to commit crimes against the wind and force good people to be slaves. Or is it that Your Majesty is afraid and dares not let the officialdom be stained with blood?"
"Who did you... let you say this in front of me? Who is it?"
"No one instructed me, all these words are my heartfelt words. Although I am a woman, I also know that the country is the most important thing, and life is nothing. But does Your Majesty have this determination?"
Bang!
Emperor Yongtai smashed the porcelain pillow and kicked the stool over.
Queen Tao looked at her coldly, unmoved.
Emperor Yongtai grabbed her collar and pulled her to him, "What do you want to do? I bewitched and slaughtered me and used a knife to the officialdom. What do you want to do?"
Empress Tao smiled coldly, "I dare to ask, "Do Your Majesty want a country or protect the officialdom? If you lose the hearts of the people and protect the people, you must kill all corrupt officials in the world. There is no third way to go unless Your Majesty can convert food out of thin air."
Emperor Yongtai breathed rapidly, and the hot air he exhaled was sprayed directly on Queen Tao's cheeks.
Queen Tao felt hot and felt that her body was wet with sweat.
But she dared not relax at all, nor did she dare to say she was tired.
She had to hold on, not revealing any weakness.
Emperor Yongtai sneered, "Who gave you the idea? Who wants to provoke a fight in the officialdom? What is the purpose? Is it the Tao family or Princess Chengyang?"
Queen Tao shook her head, "It has nothing to do with them. The words I just said are all from my concubine's heart."
"You can't deceive me. Are you sure I won't kill you, so you dare to speak unscrupulously in front of me? You are arrogant! You dare to interfere in the affairs of the government and try to control my decision, and you are seeking death!"
"So your Majesty wants to execute me?"
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!
The Emperor Yongtai breathed very heavily and it was clearly transmitted into Queen Tao's ears.
Queen Tao looked at him coldly, her eyes straight and calm.
Emperor Yongtai smiled coldly, "Don't worry, I will not execute you. Whether it is your personal thoughts or someone gives you an idea, I will answer you officially now, so I can't get involved in the government. Whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, I will have my own sense of responsibility."
Queen Tao smiled and was amazingly beautiful.
She said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will take my leave now!"
She bowed slightly, lowered her head, and waited for the emperor to release her collar.
While Emperor Yongtai released her collar, he pushed her violently, and Empress Tao leaned back and almost fell to the ground.
After finally stabilizing his body, he heard the emperor scolding, "Get out! I don't want to see you recently."
Queen Tao stood up without expression, bowed, said nothing, and turned around and left.
Sun Bangnian was anxious. What should he do if the Empress left?
However, in this situation, he did not dare to call Queen Tao, so he could only watch Queen Tao leave.
...
Queen Tao returned to Weiyang Palace and was in a very unhappy mood.
He smashed half of the room directly.
She couldn't keep her calm, she was more angry than ever.
When she was in Xingqing Palace, she suppressed the anger in her heart with her willpower that surpassed ordinary people.
At this moment, when she returned to Weiyang Palace, she no longer had to endure it.
After smashing her hard, the tone in her heart finally calmed down.
She waved her hand and the palace servants cleaned up the mess on the ground.
She ordered Mei Shaojian, "Go and invite His Highness the Second Prince, and I have something to say to him."
Young Master Mei bowed to accept the order and sent someone to hurriedly invite the second prince Xiao Chengwen.
...
When the eunuch arrived at the prince's mansion, Xiao Chengwen was fishing.
Perhaps because of Yan Yunge's influence, Xiao Chengwen has also fallen in love with fishing recently.
Fishing is good, it can exercise patience and quickly calm down the ups and downs.
The eunuch arrived and invited him into the palace.
He said calmly, "When I finish my work, I will go to the palace."
