Chapter 221 Mother and Son

Since he was here to complain, he might have to throw the shit into someone else's face. At this time, Chen Kuan would not mention the mistakes between the Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office in front of Empress Dowager Xie, but instead directly threw the problems on Li Xin's head.

Although Empress Dowager Xie had not had much contact with the government before, she was in charge of the harem and had been in charge of the world for more than ten years, and she was quite calm. She smiled at Chen Kuan.

"I heard that the Ai family had a problem with the order to transfer the imperial guards by Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office, so Grand Tutor Li was furious and sued both Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office to Weiyang Palace."

After pausing, she continued, "The Ai family doesn't understand the affairs in the court, but according to the intention of the Ai family, if something goes wrong, they will slowly discuss and resolve it. You can't let a wife in the Ai family take charge of the government on behalf of you?"

Chen Kuan lowered his head and said, "The Empress misunderstood. The size of this matter depends on Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty is young and a student of Jing'an Marquis, so it is difficult to make a decision. The Empress is Your Majesty's biological mother. I am here to ask for a visit to the Empress because I want to tell the Empress about the benefits and disadvantages. After everything is explained clearly, no matter how you decide, it is the will of the emperor. I have nothing to say."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly.

"Then you might as well tell me the deep face."

Chen Kuanchang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager.

"As the Empress said, this matter was due to the dereliction of duty between the Secretary-General and the Grand Commander's Office, but the Ministry of War also had a crime. The Marquis of Jing'an found a scapegoat in the Ministry of War, and then all the crimes were put on the Secretary-General's Office."

Chen Kuan can reach the position of the left prime minister, so he naturally has his ability. He only talks a few words. Although the matter is still the same, the secret meaning has completely turned to his side.

"According to the Marquis of Jing'an, the negligence of the Ministry of War is the fault of the Right Minister of the Ministry of War. Then the negligence of my Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office can be attributed to the person who has been sealed. The Marquis of Jing'an directly blamed the entire Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office, but he, the Minister of War, took it out of it, which is not reasonable."

That transfer order was a mistake made by three yamen. The crime of the Ministry of War was borne by Qian Sheng, the Right Minister of War. In fact, the Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office could also withdraw from a scapegoat. After all, there are countless generals in the Grand Governor's Office, and there are also Shangshutai walking. You can find a scapegoat and take the blame for this.

Generally speaking, this is a common means to deal with most things, pushing a person out of responsibility, and then stop pursuing superiors.

It was Li Xin who was unreasonable that he pushed the "person in charge" of Shangshutai and the Grand Governor's Office to the flames.

The sound of the heavy face is low.

"Marquis Jing'an's move is obviously of ulterior motives. I want to take this opportunity to target the auxiliary ministers who were left by the late emperor. Your Majesty is a student of Marquis Jing'an. For a moment, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong. He was bewitched by Marquis Jing'an. I beg the Empress Dowager to explain the situation to Your Majesty!"

"The Ministry of War, the Grand Commander's Office and our Shangshutai are both at fault. Since there is any mistake, you can punish them as much as you want. However, Mr. Li made a big fuss and probably had ulterior motives."

"Please check with Your Majesty."

As soon as Chen Kuan finished speaking, Yang Shu, the oldest experienced, also stepped forward and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Empress, the late emperor left four auxiliary ministers to assist His Majesty in managing the government. His Majesty has only been a few months since he ascended the throne. If he was promoted to rule, he would probably be unable to take charge of the court. At that time, the power of the court might... fall."

After saying this, this old man with white beard stepped down and stopped talking.

Empress Dowager Xie frowned deeply.

After all, she is not good at government affairs. Faced with such dark things, she didn't know how to deal with them for a while.

Or, she doesn't know who she should believe.

However, Gong Yang Shu's words "the power is gone" made her feel a little afraid of Li Xin.

Empress Dowager Xie lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "My prime ministers, the Ai family is just a wife and doesn't know much about the government affairs. However, the prime ministers can find the Ai family. I believe the situation is serious. Don't worry, the Ai family will definitely bring their words to Your Majesty and leave it to Your Majesty for a choice."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Ji Lin, the left governor of the Grand Governor's Office.

"The Governor also thinks this way?"

By generation, Ji Lin is the uncle of Emperor Taikang. Empress Dowager Xie should call him the uncle of his life, but the bloodlines of the two families are far apart, so they only discuss the monarch and ministers, regardless of the bloodlines.

Compared to the prime ministers, Ji Lin was still unwilling to be involved. He sighed and bowed deeply to Empress Dowager Xie.

"Empress Dowager, there is a mistake in this matter. I should not believe others' words and recommend Zhou Qingyang to enter the right camp of the imperial guards. Now that the matter has come to this, no matter how the court punishes me, I am willing to accept it."

"As for other things, I... don't know anything."

Although he was a warrior, he knew in his heart that a "military institution" like the Grand Governor's Office could not interfere in the complex court struggles.

Therefore, even if he was guilty, he did not want to continue to get involved in this matter.

Empress Dowager Xie took a deep breath.

"In this case, the Ai family almost already knows it."

She looked at the last assistant again.

"Yan Sikong also thinks the same?"

Yan Shouzhu, who was not good at speaking, bowed respectfully: "When I return to the Empress Dowager, I agree with Shen Xiang."

Queen Mother Xie nodded.

"The Ai family has already understood the meaning of the Dukes. Let's go back for now and do whatever they should do. Later, the Ai family will tell your Majesty what they mean."

Shen Kuan and others looked at each other, then bowed to the empress dowager one after another.

"I'm going to leave."

Before leaving, Shen Kuan bowed his head deeply to Empress Dowager Xie and repeated what Gong Yang Shu said in front of Yong'an Gate.

"The Empress Dowager, a supporting minister, is always inferior to the four supporting ministers."

After saying that, Shen Kuan took the prime ministers and respectfully withdrew from Kunde Palace.

The Empress Dowager sent two eunuchs to see him off.

After they all left Kunde Palace, the Empress Dowager, who was sitting in the main seat, was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "You have heard what they said?"

A young man walked out slowly from behind the screen in Kunde Palace. His complex expression was sitting at the Empress Dowager's head.

"After returning to my mother, the child heard it."

Queen Mother Xie glanced at her son and asked softly, "How did you think?"

Emperor Yuan Zhao did not answer, but asked back: "What did the Queen Mother think?"

Empress Dowager Xie frowned, and finally said hoarsely: "Mom is not in the court, so many things are not convenient to say. However, although these people have their own thoughts and may have made mistakes, the last sentence before Zuo Xiang left is always correct."

"The four assistant ministers are better than the one who comes."

She looked up at her son and sighed slightly.

"Your father left them to restrain some of your teachers."

The little emperor lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at his mother.

"But the queen mother, the teacher said that if the matter was not successful, he would resign and stop doing it."

The emperor blinked.

"There is no teacher here, my mother and I are in the capital..."
