Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"Longevity begins with Jinyiwei (

"mother!"

The little emperor trotted into the Qianqing Palace, and the Queen Mother Zhou immediately put down the embroidery in her hand and hugged the little emperor in her arms.

"Why did Brother Chun come back so early today, how about your Uncle Li?"

"Uncle Li is here too..."

The little emperor twisted his body and pointed to Li Xiu who had just walked in outside the hall.

"Chen, I have seen the Queen Mother!"

"Eunuch Qin, hurry up and free the gift!"

Queen Mother Zhou got up quickly.

"Thank you, Empress."

"Uncle Li, didn't you say that you have something to tell your mother!"

The little emperor shouted, but the restraint in the temple was instantly dissipated.

Empress Zhou patted Xiao Tianzi's hand lightly and said softly:

"What's the matter with Duke Qin?"

"There are some things that need to be reported to the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother Zhou also became quite positive.

It has been more than half a year since the last emperor passed away, and this Duke of Qin has also been in charge of the country for more than half a year. Naturally, she has almost figured out the character of this Duke of Qin.

If it is not a major event, she will never enter the palace to report to her specifically. Once found, it must be related to the Ming Dynasty's national fortune.

"Eunuch Qin, please speak bluntly!"

"Please read the maid!"

Li Xiu took out an account book from his bosom, an account book that recorded the income of Daming's treasury, the deposit of silver, and the various expenditures of Daming today.

Empress Dowager Zhou was a little puzzled. She took over the account book and read it. Li Xiu clearly wrote the amount of income and expenditure and the predicted financial situation with the flipping of the account book, which clearly fell into Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes.

The Queen Mother Zhou's demeanor also became more and more frightened as she read the account book. In the end, her face was pale, and the hand holding the account book was trembling.

"Qin... Duke Qin... these, but... are they all true?"

"Since Wanli, the financial budget of the imperial court has been overrun every year. Until the first emperor ascended the throne, the financial affairs of the imperial court can be said to be completely corrupted!"

"The government is corrupt, the finances are corrupt, the money is looted outside, and the natural disasters and the people are in constant chaos!"

"Therefore, when the minister negotiated with the late emperor..."

"Up to now, the external aggression is tentatively fixed, and there is a strong army within, the minister believes that it is time to reverse the decline and rebuild the universe!"

"As long as it's for the good of Daming, Duke Qin can do whatever he can, and the Aijia will definitely support it!"

The Queen Mother Zhou was still in shock, but she still expressed her attitude as always.

After getting a positive answer, Li Xiu did not retreat as before, but looked at the Queen Mother Zhou again and said, "Looking at the past and present, any New Deal reform will be full of resistance, and there will be no New Deal. Reform can be accomplished without bloodshed!"

"At that time, there will be countless remarks attacking eunuchs in the court and the opposition, there will be countless cronies colluding, and they will do everything possible to undermine the New Deal, and the entire future will also be shaken!"

"However, when the New Deal opens, there is no way out! If you retreat, Daming will be over!"

As for this, Li Xiu didn't say more.

After such an abrupt end, the Queen Mother Zhou was also stunned, and after a while, she soon realized.

Although she came from a small family, she was not without reading and literacy, and she did not read too much on weekdays, so she naturally understood what these four words meant for the reform and new policy.

It must be a monstrous **** storm, and it must also be a shock in the world, and rumors are spreading!

In this way, her queen mother, in which position, is naturally incomparably clear.

"The Duke of Qin is loyal to the country, and the Aijia knows that even if Duke Qin lets go of his actions, the Aijia will never cause trouble for the court!"

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

After getting the answer he wanted, Li Xiucai bowed deeply and then retire.

After Li Xiu left, the Queen Mother Zhou stared at the file in her hand for a long time, and the anxiety between her eyebrows was hard to hide.

After a long time, she called out to the hall, and soon, Wang Chengen hurried over.

"Miss!"

The Queen Mother Zhou was obviously a little tangled. After a while, she slowly asked:

"Recently... on the Guozhang side, what's the situation?"

Hearing this, Wang Chengen was also taken aback, and he was not quite sure what the Queen Mother meant.

But then, he suddenly thought of Qin Guogong, who had just met the Queen Mother, and the recent big moves of Jin Yiwei...

After thinking about it, Wang Chengen still carefully probed: "Everything is fine with the father-in-law of the country. Recently, he also took two concubines..."

"These mourners know."

Empress Zhou frowned slightly: "The meaning of Ai's family is, is there any corruption and perversion of the law by the ruler of the state, and has he approached any courtier?"

"This…"

Hearing this, Wang Chengen couldn't help but tremble in his heart. After a while, he barely suppressed the horror in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

"Jinyiwei is monitoring the world. All these former emperors told Ai's family. You and Li Ruolian are very close, and these Ai's also know it. Don't try to hide anything, tell the truth to this palace!"

After saying this, Wang Chengen couldn't help but sigh, how could he answer this question!

After struggling for a while, Wang Chengen finally couldn't resist the majesty of the Queen Mother, sighed secretly, and then told what he knew bit by bit.

Taking advantage of the power of the ruler, plundering, oppressing the people...

Make friends with officials, and use the power of the ruler to do things for officials...

The Guozhang mansion is full of friends every day, and people come and go...

Following Wang Cheng'en's remarks, the Queen Mother Zhou's fingers were turning white, and she trembled with anger.

"My lord, calm down!"

Wang Chengen fell to his knees abruptly.

After a long time, the Queen Mother Zhou seemed to calm down a little from her anger. She glanced at the little emperor, but she seemed to have figured out something, and her eyes were immediately firm.

"Pass on the will of the Aijia, let the father-in-law examine himself behind closed doors, without the will of the Aijia, do not leave the house!"

"This…"

Wang Chengen was even more terrified. He closed his door to self-examination.

This... what kind of bad luck did he have today!

"What, isn't Aijia's words not working?"

Queen Mother Zhou questioned in a deep voice.

"The slave obeys the order!"

Wang Chengen kowtowed again and again, but the helplessness between his brows was hard to hide.

Walking out of the hall, Wang Chengen was also a little bit lost.

"Grandpa, what did you say, let us spread such a disaster!"

Stopping and sighing, Wang Chengen's face was full of helplessness, but the decree had already been made, and no matter how helpless he was, there was nothing he could do. He could only lead the Queen Mother's decree, surrounded by several eunuchs, and quickly walked out of the palace.

At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou had completely lost the rigidity she had when she gave the decree just now.

"Mother, mother!"

Xiao Tianzi hurried over, but was hugged by the Queen Mother Zhou.

The little emperor was at a loss, but he didn't dare to move, and let the Queen Mother hold her tightly, and even the faint sound of weeping sounded...
