This Body is Cheap

It's not that the empress dowager has never thought about using her own wrist to govern the government, and when her grandson officially takes power, she will return him to a peaceful and prosperous age.

But as the saying goes, dreams seem beautiful, but reality is cruel.

She has absolutely no ability to control the situation.

Poor political means, this is her biggest drawback.

The method used is that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, this is a rather simple and unpretentious method.

But she still feels good about herself.

I feel that I did nothing wrong.

And the result was not beyond her expectation, the court was in collapse.

If this situation continues.

It is estimated that in the future, her records in the history books will inevitably fall into the reputation of a demon queen.

And she has no soldiers in her hands, and she can't deal with foreign troubles.

The news I received every day was that the rebel army of King Beiyu occupied a city today, a town tomorrow, and a state the day after tomorrow.

Either the general died for his country today, and the marshal surrendered tomorrow.

By the way, how many troops surrendered.

The internal and external affairs have already overwhelmed the empress dowager.

...

At this moment, Ji Wulian and Tie Yihou are drinking wine.

"The old lady in the palace recently issued a decree to increase the business tax for every merchant." Tie Yihou said.

Ji Wulian didn't go to court at all on weekdays, and she bore the title of a national teacher for no reason. In fact, she didn't have any authority, and she never really performed the function of a national teacher.

"The way of death." Ji Wulian said calmly.

It is well known that the imperial court is short of money nowadays.

But raising business taxes is digging at the roots.

Who is behind the merchants, most of them are gentry and aristocratic class.

Will the gentry and nobles be willing to take out the money in their pockets?

In a peaceful and prosperous age, such government orders must be cautious.

Now that the building is about to collapse, this kind of decree will only make the gentry and nobles fall to King Beiyu faster.

But for today's empress dowager.

This is poisonous poison, you will die if you eat it, and you will die if you don't eat it.

This may be the so-called drinking poison to quench thirst.

And the hall is even more weird.

In the past, the quarrels in the court were daily events.

But since knowing that the Northern Yu King's army is approaching the imperial city.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

It seemed that everyone except the empress dowager had given up resistance.

Even the empress dowager could feel this eerie silence.

Today's imperial court really can't get out of the capital even if it's an imperial edict.

The empress dowager hugged the little emperor and cried every day, feeling sorry for herself.

Complaining about her husband again, and complaining about her son.

While Tie Yihou and Ji Wulian were drinking.

Director Wei came to the door, and Ji Wulian immediately hid.

They are now in Tie Yihou's mansion.

On the bright side, Ji Wulian and Tie Yihou are at odds.

"General Zhou, the Empress Dowager has ordered you to enter the palace."

Tie Yihou's surname is Zhou, and Tie Yihou is his name in the Jianghu.

"The Zi hour has passed, is it inappropriate to enter the palace at this time?"

"General Zhou, don't worry too much. You have won the trust of the empress dowager. Don't worry about some red tape."

Tie Yihou was a little puzzled, he found himself in the palace in the middle of the night, could it be that he was really lonely and unbearable?

Followed Director Wei into the palace and arrived at Houxi Palace.

Here are all the residences of the emperor's women.

Either a concubine or a princess.

Of course, because the eldest filial son has not been in power for long.

So there are not many concubines.

Before arriving at the empress dowager's bedroom, Director Wei made an announcement first.

After a while, Tie Yihou was announced into the house.

"Wei Chen, pay homage to your empress."

"My love is free."

The Empress Dowager is actually only fifty years old.

But in less than half a year, under exhaustion, he looked like he was ten years older.

At this moment, the empress dowager had a sad face.

"Aiqing, what do you think about the current internal and external troubles in the imperial court?"

"I am deeply favored by the emperor. As long as the empress and your majesty give orders, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so."

"You have this kind of heart, the Ai family is very pleased, then do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Tie Yihou could only kneel on the ground with his face pressed against the ground: "I am incompetent, please forgive my sin."

Not to mention that King Beiyu's general situation is now determined, even if the 100,000 forbidden troops on hand are all supernatural powers, it is impossible to retreat from the enemy.

Even if he really has the ability to retreat from the enemy, he will never do so.

After all, the one behind King Beiyu is the one.

This is not something he can fight against.

Tie Yihou would rather face a million soldiers than face that godlike figure.

"Hey... that's all, I can't blame you for this matter."

Although Tie Yihou bears the title of general.

In fact, he is a security captain.

And it's been less than half a year.

Marching and fighting has nothing to do with him.

The current crisis in the imperial court has nothing to do with him.

"Now that the imperial court is in danger, what do you think, how about the imperial court moving the capital?"

"Your Majesty, this matter should be decided by the ministers. The humble ministers are light-hearted and dare not speak nonsense."

"Nowadays, all the ministers in the court are acting like turtles. When they ask them about politics, they will push back, just waiting for the traitor to invade the imperial city, so that they can collectively take refuge in the traitor, the traitors, and a group of traitors." Thief!!"

The empress dowager came to Tie Yihou this time not because she trusted Tie Yihou.

It's purely because Tie Yihou keeps himself safe.

All the ministers of the court, Xungui, were looking for ways to get in touch with King Beiyu.

Only Tie Yihou is on duty every day and doesn't interact with others.

The Empress Dowager felt that Tie Yihou was honest and honest.

Moreover, he is also the one who controls the safety of the imperial city, with one hundred thousand imperial troops in his hands.

At this time, nothing is as valuable as having soldiers in your hands.

Tie Yihou didn't understand why the Empress Dowager came to him.

Do you let yourself lead troops to fight?

But even though he has one hundred thousand forbidden troops in his hand.

But in fact there are no more than 10,000 people.

Because the vast majority of the forbidden army are noble children.

Before he took over the Forbidden Army, the actual salary of 100,000 troops was only 10%.

And almost no military training.

Even if the empress dowager doesn't know the actual situation of the forbidden army.

It shouldn't be possible to make such unrealistic fantasies, right?

If the Empress Dowager really wanted to lead the troops to die, then she could only lead the troops directly to seek refuge with King Bei Yu.

Tie Yihou felt that he knew Ji Wulian and even Xiaowan.

No matter how bad it is, he can still get a part-time job with King Beiyu.

The empress dowager stared at Tie Yihou for a long time, and then said: "The Ai family hopes that you can leave some blood for the royal family."

Tie Yihou stared at the Empress Dowager with wide eyes, what do you mean?

"When the traitor enters the capital, the royal family will definitely be massacred. The Ai family is already old, and life and death are ignored, but the grandson of the Ai family is still young. The Ai family wants General Zhou to protect them and send them out of the imperial city."

Tie Yihou remained silent for a long time, he was shocked.

The empress dowager is sending sheep to the tiger's mouth, right?
