Chapter 216: Breaking the Wind

After listening to Qiao's story, Concubine Xue was so scared that she let her mother leave the palace in panic, and then hurried to find Lixia.

Although Concubine Xue was young, she knew very well that such a big thing was targeting the uncle. It was more effective to find Empress Xia than to find the emperor. And the person who really dared to deal with the high priest was probably not the emperor, but the uncle.

"Help Queen Xia." Concubine Xue knelt when she entered the door. Although she didn't say loudly, she was sad.

Li Xia frowned slightly and said, "Everyone is retreating."

The lady retreated, Li Xia stood up and walked to Concubine Xue, reached out to pull her up, and whispered: "Come here and sit down. You can tell me anything if you have anything to do. If someone plots against you, I will definitely report to the emperor and will not forgive him."

Concubine Xue suddenly realized in her heart that it seemed that Empress Xia and the uncle had already known about this, but it was not the case, so she pretended not to know it. The uncle left the court, probably because of this.

After a sudden realization, Concubine Xue was so scared that she came to find Empress Xia. Otherwise, even if she didn't say anything or did nothing, she would be implicated by the high priest sooner or later.

After dinner, Lixia said to Zedi: "Emperor, Concubine Xue came to me today and told me about the high priest."

"Oh?" Zedi asked a little surprised, "Is that the matter?"

Lixia replied: "Yes."

Then he picked up the important ones and recounted several passages of Concubine Xue. Emperor Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice: "Madam, now that he has a witness, can he touch him?"

Li Xia asked back: "How does the emperor plan to touch him?"

Emperor Ze was stunned. It was right to target Gu Du, but the high priest told Concubine Xue to tell him that it was not unreasonable. Gu Du was not a general, but a soul master. Without war, he should return the military power. If the reason is right, what can't be done to Qiao Zheng?

Emperor Ze thought for a moment and said, "He instigated the harem to interfere in politics."

Li Xia laughed and said, "These are just one-sided words of Concubine Xue. The so-called crime that she wants to be punished is not a problem. Don't say that he is not convinced, but the civil and military officials in the court will not be convinced."

Emperor Ze argued: "He gave money to Concubine Xue's house."

Li Xia smiled and said, "There is a lot of money, so I will give it to whoever I want. Which king's law has I violated?"

Zedi looked at her, thought for a while, and asked, "You argue with me, I have to do this, right?"

Li Xia nodded with a smile, and Emperor Ze pondered for a while, and said, "The uncle of the country has made great achievements, but the uncle is just an identity, not an official position. As the saying goes, you must first be promoted, and then you can be promoted. Everything must be ruled, orderly, down-to-earth, and step by step."

Li Xia's smile became stronger and stronger. When Emperor Ze saw her laughing, he also laughed, indicating that he was right. He continued: "Qiao Zheng is old. Of course, it is not that he is useless, but because the uncle is more capable. The so-called country seeks talents and takes a high position, and this position of high priest should be given to the uncle."

Li Xia nodded with a smile, and Emperor Ze said, "When my uncle returns, I will issue an edict and let..."

Seeing Li Xia shook her head, Zedi stopped, and then said, "Jo Zheng has made great contributions after three dynasties. He has seized his official position for no reason. Not only can he not show his desire to cherish talent, but he will instead make the ministers say that I am a relative and exclude old ministers..."

After pausing for a moment, Zedi said, "What do you think? I'm a little bit poor for my husband."

Li Xia whispered: "Release the wind and let him know that you have this idea."

Emperor Ze looked at her in shock and said softly: "My uncle has not returned, and now he lets out the wind. If disaster strikes Xiao Yun, I'm afraid..."

Li Xia frowned and said softly: "What are you afraid of? As long as I climb high and shout, all the troops will follow me. Even if they forget my ability and military achievements, with the sword in my hand and the disciples under Dongfang Bin, they can protect you and rush out of the imperial city and go to Danyuan Mountain to bring reinforcements."

Zedi whispered: "I'm not afraid of him forcing the palace, I'm afraid of him designing to deal with you. It's said that open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against."

Li Xia Yan smiled and said softly: "Don't worry. With He Xuzhuo's previous lessons, I'm always careful. If he really designed to deal with me, it would be easier."

Emperor Ze hesitated for a while before nodding and responding: "Okay, then follow your wife's plan."

It is easy to let go. Emperor Ze lasted for three consecutive days. After the court came every day, he asked the ministers to go to the inner palace to discuss matters. It often took half an hour to say that.

Everyone was puzzled, and even Lixia asked Zedi: "What do you say to them? It can be said for so long."

Emperor Ze replied, "To be honest, I will ask them if they can make their uncle a high priest, if they can, will they be worthy of Qiao Zheng, an old minister of the three dynasties? If they can't, they should arrange an official position for the uncle."

Li Xia laughed and asked, "What do they say?"

Zedi also laughed and replied, "They answered in ambiguous manner and talked nonsense, so they said it for so long."

Li Xia frowned slightly. As expected, Qiao Zheng was an old minister of the three dynasties. As long as he did not make mistakes, he would not be able to replace him.

Zedi looked at her and asked softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Li Xia met his gaze and replied softly: "I am worried that if you do this, Qiao Zheng will respond to changes in the same way."

Emperor Ze said, "I think if he was aware of the knowledge and tact, he should have retired in the current dynasty. Although he was an old minister of the three dynasties and had no faults, he had not made any contributions. Since the seventh year of the former emperor, he has been mediocre. As the uncle said, the country of Ze has too many people who have been suppressed by the country of Ling for so long."

Li Xia shook his head and said softly: "If he knew the knowledge and tact, he would not have planned to instigate the harem to interfere in politics."

Emperor Ze said, "It's okay. If he responds to changes in the same way, I will call him to see him. I promise him to increase his title and salary in person and advise him to abdicate and give in to the wise."

Li Xia pondered for a while and said softly: "To really reach this point, the Gongwei Commander will change people in advance."

Zedi frowned, sat down and looked at her, and asked softly, "Does he still dare to force the palace?"

Li Xia replied softly: "I don't think he dares, but I dare not take risks just by speculation. After all, you are the king of a country... and you also have to order Dongfang Bin to send Jueling disciples to protect Concubine Xue's family. Concubine Xue came to me because she believed me. If something happened to her family, even if she didn't dare to say it, she would hate me for the rest of her life."

Emperor Ze called out loudly: "Come here!"

The eunuch walked in and replied, "Emperor, Queen."

Zedi said: "Send Dongfangbin to meet immediately."

"Abide by the order." The eunuch retreated.

Zedi looked at Li Xia again and asked softly: "Can't the trouble be so serious, right?"

Li Xia replied softly: "No one will think that he is wrong, let alone that he is incompetent. He will only say that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden in the bow."
