Chapter 1055： Big trees attract more wind!

Chapter 1055: A big tree attracts the wind!

Before noon, the court meeting finally ended.

Hundred civil and military officials walked out of the palace gate one after another, all with bad expressions on their faces.

Some people are anxious, some are frowning, and some are pretending to be calm but failing.

The gentlemen and coachmen who were waiting outside were watching with trepidation, fearing that something might go wrong and that the master would get into trouble when something was obviously going on.

A few officials couldn't hold themselves back any longer, so they sat in a carriage and started discussing in a low voice.

“Today’s posture doesn’t look like that person’s impromptu initiative!”

"Of course, do you need to say this? That person has been planning for who knows how long, and it all just broke out today."

“This is about to completely break up with the Queen Mother!”

“Since you want to completely break up with her, why did you try so hard to defend the Queen Mother just now?”

In another carriage not far away, Li Laoer, Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng were also talking about this matter.

Li Laoer also looked bad and sighed.

“The emperor cherishes his feathers more and more. Everyone in the world knows that the Queen Mother has been involved in politics and seizing power for many years. Now that the Emperor has conclusive evidence, it is justified to punish the Queen Mother.

"But he still wants to be greedy for the word 'filial piety' and refuses to leave any stigma in the history books."

"Yes, just watch. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...or even the next ten and a half months, people will continue to come forward to urge the emperor to enforce the law impartially and punish the queen mother, and then the emperor will reluctantly take action..." Mr. Wen smiled a little. Satire.

Liu Zhiheng also said, "I used to think that our emperor was benevolent, and he even valued affection and righteousness, which was different from the previous emperors. After all, he tolerated the Queen Mother for so many years, and he treated the Marquis, the courtiers and the people very well. good.

“But now it seems that he doesn’t like ‘benevolence’, but has to be ‘benevolent’. Now that his life is short, he no longer wants to be ‘benevolent’.

“I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

The three of them all had complicated moods. They were not only worried about the chaos in government affairs and being unable to protect their own families.

I am even more worried that after the court is cleaned up, the emperor’s next target will be the Marquis far away in Jiangbei...

The carriage kicked and kicked, and soon it reached the intersection. Liu Zhiheng jumped out and rushed home to report to his old father and discuss ideas along the way.

Li Laoer and Mr. Wen returned to the Earl's Mansion, and the **** storm that had been brewing for a long time was about to begin.

To avoid panic among family members, always let them know quietly.

At this time, try to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, and be careful not to be involved when lightning strikes someone.

Fortunately, Jia Huan runs a restaurant and has nothing to do with the court.

The academy has been closed down, and Li Laosan, Brother Mao, brothers Zhimin Xiujie, and Guo Wenyuan are all staying in a corner without being affected.

At the Earl's Mansion, Wan'er directly complained of illness, did not see guests or go out, and restrained the servants.

At Broken Gold Beach, there is an old village chief sitting in charge. It just so happened that the hot springs had a drought and the water flow was getting smaller and smaller. They closed the business and blocked the intersection. Broken Gold Beach was a small world of its own, and it couldn't be safer...

It's not just the Li family. At this moment, all the wealthy families, civil servants and generals in the city are all in a panic.

The Li family is just a migrant family, who fled from a famine-stricken family. They don’t know many people here, and those they do know are mostly farmers in the village.

But they are not!

Over the years, in order to survive better, I have enjoyed more rights and wealth.

His son married his daughter, his niece married his nephew, and even his sister-in-law was sent to Shangguan's house as a concubine...

It’s not impossible to have fun occasionally, drink wine together, and brag!

Now, these have become a source of fear for them. Who knew that the people who drank together were secretly related to the three families that were condemned?

Who knows who was bribed by the Queen Mother to join the secret camp and will be liquidated immediately?

Who knows who has a bad mind and jumps to the limelight at this time, but it will bring bad luck to the emperor.

The tree has big roots and deep roots. While it enjoys more sunshine, rain and dew, it also attracts more wind!

It seemed that in an instant, the bustling Xindu Street suddenly became quiet.

The young lady who was shopping ran away and lost her embroidered shoes, and the young man who was waving his fan threw away his golden belt.

There are so many waves on weekdays, but now there is so much panic.

The street vendors carried their burdens and carefully stayed under the eaves for fear of being knocked over.

What happened today? Is it the wrong way to open it?

Baiyunjian is as full as ever. It’s almost noon, and the boy who squeezes the jade melon juice has to twist his wrist into a fan before he can attend to it.

After a while of busy work, the guests in the private rooms on the second floor came down one after another, paid their bills and left quickly.

Some guests didn't even get the juice, but they gave them exactly the money.

The boy didn't know what was going on, and was about to run to the backyard to report the news. Shopkeeper Peng came out and greeted everyone, "Just clean up, there won't be too many customers in the afternoon. Just shout in front of the door, and the snacks at the counter are half price." For sale, sell it out early and save it from being left to sour overnight.”

The boy was very curious and wanted to ask more questions, but shopkeeper Peng slapped him on the back of the head.

“Hurry up and get to work. Go home early tonight and bring two kilograms of milk cake back to your mother. I will be filial to her.”

"Hey! Thank you, shopkeeper!" The boy didn't dare to say more, and ran to shout with a smile.

 Baiyunjian is a shining gold-lettered sign in Xindu. If it weren’t for the high price of dim sum and their specialization in harvesting the pockets of the rich, I am afraid that all the dim sum shops would have been closed down by them.

At this moment, as soon as the news of the half price was announced, not to mention the passers-by who didn’t know what was going on, even the neighbors on the left and right came to join in the fun.

In less than half an hour, the snacks on the counter and in the kitchen were empty.

Similarly, the hotpot restaurant and Pagoda Garden not far away also ended their business early.

At this time, everyone on the street finally got the news, and the world became completely quiet...

There are never secrets in the palace, this is the consensus of everyone.

Even though in Zhilan Palace, Jiayin and the third princess restrained the maids and eunuchs, closed the door and made up their minds to live their own lives, they still heard about the events of the previous dynasty.

The third princess held up her skirt and walked around all over the place.

"Is my father going to start a war with the old witch? The old witch has been domineering for so many years, will my father be plotted by her? What should I do?"

She saved Jiayin's arm and begged, "Jiayin, can you help my father?"

Jiayin was so surprised that she almost broke down on the spot, "Sister, I'm a little clever, but it's okay to be naughty and playful with you. If you really get involved in such a big thing, I'm afraid it won't be enough to fill the teeth of those old foxes! Please spare my life!"

The third princess was discouraged and sat on the rocking chair next to her. She said dejectedly, "You don't know. I heard my mother say it, and I don't know whether it's true or not.

"It seems that before I was born, my father also had a fight with that old witch. In the end, my father lost. One of my eldest brothers and his mother and concubine were killed at that time. Of course, they didn't say that to the outside world, but it was Tricked by the old witch.

“My father has been bullied for this for so many years, but they have gotten along well with each other. Now I don’t know what happened, and they started fighting again.

“No wonder my father wanted me to get married as soon as possible. He must have been afraid that I would be like the eldest prince..."
