Chapter 441 Who do you say is the sinner?
In the capital city.
The streets are still bustling and people are doing their normal business.
But among the powerful and wealthy, a wave of protests was set off.
When the ministers learned that the memorial was actually approved by Bai Wutong himself and the emperor did not dictate it at all, they were immediately indignant and cursed at home, saying all kinds of unpleasant words.
"It's just like a hen crowing at dawn. Even if you are the queen, you can't review the memorials on behalf of the emperor!"
"There is absolutely no possibility for women to participate in politics in our Darong country. This must be stopped!"
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to make a suggestion!"
…
That evening.
The first minister who entered the palace had his leg broken by a horse in the street after he left, and from then on he could only lie in bed.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. He won’t be able to walk normally within half a year, let alone go to the palace to cause trouble.
The next day, another minister entered the palace cursing and came out cursing.
In the afternoon, he accidentally fell and broke his head. The doctor took great efforts to save him.
On the third day, some ministers still went to the palace to make suggestions without knowing the consequences.
As soon as he walked out of the palace, he was hit by a galloping carriage and lost his life on the spot.
Accidents happened for three days in a row, and the people who got into trouble were all ministers who came to the palace to make remonstrances. At this point, no matter how stupid they were, they understood what was going on.
It was clearly Bai Wutong who did this!
The purpose is to eliminate dissidents!
This woman... definitely has evil intentions!
Xun Mansion.
Xun Mingzhi claimed to be ill and closed the door.
No matter who knocked on the door, he did not go out. The servants also said in unison, "Our master is not feeling well and needs to recuperate. Please come back in a few days."
After saying this, the servant closed the door without caring who was standing outside.
An angry old minister stood at the door and cursed.
"Your Xun family really gave birth to a good daughter. This is going to be a hen crowing at dawn and destroy our Great Rong Kingdom!"
As soon as the words fell.
A rock appeared from nowhere and hit him directly on the head.
The old minister screamed, leaned back, and fell heavily to the ground.
The servant who came with him turned pale with astonishment, and hurried forward, and hurriedly lifted up the old minister and sent him back to the mansion.
Something had happened for four days in a row, and now the remaining people have become more obedient.
They simply gathered together to discuss the strategy to deal with Bai Wutong.
"My dear brothers, what do you think we should do now? If we allow a woman like the Queen to continue to participate in politics, then our Darong Kingdom will be destroyed!"
"The only family in the capital that can suppress the queen right now is probably the Jin family. The Jin family has military power, and if they take a tougher stance, the queen will not dare to disobey them."
"But Jin Zhi is now in the frontier, not in the capital, and the rest of the Jin family has no say in the matter! Oh, it would be great if the Zhenguo Mansion was still there!"
After they discussed it, they realized that there was no one in the capital who could truly suppress Bai Wutong.
Before the emperor got into trouble, this was the centralization of imperial power.
But if something happens to the emperor, it will be the sign of the country's demise!
Everyone looked at each other, and their faces became increasingly ugly.
"Or...should we go find the Queen Mother?"
"Come on, what can the Queen Mother do? And the Queen's little son is now in the Queen Mother's arms! The relationship between these two is much better than we know! Look, the Queen has already participated in politics, is there any news from the Queen Mother?"
"It's all because the Emperor suppressed the Empress Dowager too harshly, leaving her with no real power. Now even the Empress can't control her!"
"No matter what, we have to try!"
The next day, a minister immediately went to meet the Queen Mother.
In Yongshou Palace.
The Queen Mother was looking at Yunyang in the cradle, smiling very kindly.
A palace maid walked in quickly and whispered something in her ear.
The Queen Mother suppressed her smile and waved her hand, "Take Yunyang back to his room. Be careful not to wake him up."
After Yunyang went back, she signaled to the palace maid that people outside could come in.
An old minister walked in quickly. Before he could speak, he knelt heavily on the ground, his forehead falling on the cold ground. "I also ask the Queen Mother to control the Queen and tell her not to interfere in government affairs anymore!"
The Queen Mother leaned back on the cushion, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. "Oh? You mean the Queen can't review memorials?"
"Yes, that's right. From ancient times to now, there has been no precedent for women participating in politics in our Darong Kingdom. This is against the will of heaven!" The old minister became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked as if he wanted to eat Bai Wutong alive. "The queen not only participates in politics, but also persecutes good officials at will. No matter who makes a suggestion, something will happen the next day. This can't be a coincidence! They are all pillars of the country. How can they be harmed by a woman? Queen Mother, please make sure to take action to put an end to all this. Only in this way can our Darong Kingdom not be burned down!"
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily with tears in his eyes.
The Queen Mother was not moved at all. She put down her teacup with an indifferent expression, "Although I am already this old and used to the indifference of the world, seeing you now still makes me feel that people are cold and indifferent! When I was imprisoned by the Emperor before, did you ever say a word for me? Now that something has happened, you know to come to me for help! Unfortunately... it's too late! Who do you think I am? I am just the Queen Mother in name only. I don't even have many people of my own in this palace! I can't take care of the Queen's affairs. You should find someone else to help!"
“Empress Dowager!” The old minister raised his head and shouted, “You are the emperor’s biological mother, the most noble woman in the Darong Kingdom. No matter how great the queen is, she is only your daughter-in-law. How dare she disobey you, unless she wants to be infamous forever!”
"Oh." The Queen Mother laughed coldly and stared at this person. "Daughter-in-law? Do you think this is still discussed in the palace? Whoever has the ability has the power! I am not as good as the Queen, so naturally I have no room to speak. Even if I point my finger at the Queen's nose and scold her, asking her to stop immediately, do you think she will listen to me? This matter will not even be spread out of the palace! As for being infamous for thousands of years, it is even more impossible. History books are written by the victors. In the future, the Queen will have power, and she can write whatever she wants! What if those things spread among the people? They are just unofficial history!"
The Queen Mother didn't want to waste her breath on these people. When she was imprisoned, no one spoke for her.
Now everyone calls her their biological mother. What were they doing before?
"Empress Dowager, if you stand aside and watch, you will be the sinner of Darong Country!"
"Who do you say is the sinner?"
