Dofu willingly took the order to retreat.

Prince Yong and Su Zhiming followed behind, and Su Youyi suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them.

"Zhou Shoufu's matter happened at the end of the year, and the confusion of the officials had not yet been clarified, and it was a time of turmoil and unrest in the DPRK and China. One of the two is an elder of the royal family, and the other is the minister of the humerus in the court, and they must help the mourning family and the emperor stabilize the court. ”

Prince Yong and Su Zhiming glanced at each other, and quickly said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

On the carriage back to the palace, Su Youyi's mind repeatedly echoed Zhou Shoufu's words, "...... Su Qing is this person...... is resourceful and fickle, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not be too favored and trusted, so as to become ...... Become the second Li Ge Lao! ”

Did Zhou Shoufu smell the inside story of the derangement of the officials, or did he suddenly have an epiphany before he died?

Su Youyi didn't know.

All she knew was that—

In the court, there must not be a second Li Ge Lao!

……

During the deliberation of the cabinet, Zhou Shoufu was posthumously awarded the title of first-class Duke of Chengen, and after his death, he deserved to enjoy the Taimiao Temple, and he could enjoy the incense offerings of eternity.

This was an offering that none of the ministers of the previous imperial dynasty could enjoy.

However, Zhou Shoufu won this honor, and no one in the court dared to be angry, but he was envious, and there was also sentimentality that Zhou Shoufu failed to enjoy the blessings of his life, and he was all devoted to the government and politics.

In addition, Su Youyi personally designated Miss Zhou as the future queen, and for a while, the courtiers and noble ministers did not care about the auspiciousness and avoided the evil in the new year, and rushed to the Zhou Mansion to mourn.

Zhou Shoufu's last words before his death were also slowly passed on.

Prince Yong, Su Zhiming, cabinet Zhao and Xue are two elders...... These people naturally have nothing to say in the court, and the only thing that makes people feel shocked is his comments about Su Qing.

"Su Qing is a fickle person, I hope the Queen Mother can't be too favored, so as to become the second Li Ge old ......"

In the Su Mansion with colorful lights, Su Qing sat on top of the high hall, listening to the words of the subordinates, he was furious, and stood up with a slap on the table.

The sound reached outside the hall, and the subordinate who was hanging the red lantern was startled and stood in place at a loss.

Su Qing's lips trembled, and he chewed on this sentence repeatedly, "Su Qing is a fickle person, I hope that the Queen Mother will not be too trusted, so as to become the second Li Ge elder...... Back then, Li Ge Lao was able to be successfully pulled off by the first emperor, which also had my role, how can I be regarded as the second Li Ge Lao now? ”

He was angry and frightened, walking around the hall, unable to think of where he offended Zhou Shoufu, "In addition to giving the Song family brothers to the Queen Mother, which made Zhou Shoufu a little dissatisfied, what else did I offend him?" As the first assistant, he is the head of a hundred officials, and he is also the oldest minister in the court, and I have always respected him, how can he treat me like this?! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to go to the Zhou Mansion to ask Zhou Shoufu in person.

But Zhou Shoufu was already lying in the coffin at the moment, and even if he went, Zhou Shoufu couldn't respond to him a word.

What's worse is that the queen mother and the emperor are particularly dedicated to Zhou Shoufu's posthumous mourning, and Miss Zhou has decided to be the queen's candidate, and he can't move the people of the Zhou Mansion at all now.

Su Qing looked at the court irritably, only to feel that the New Year's red in his eyes was particularly dazzling, and he wanted to shake his hand and ask people to take it all off.

I had to look away, "Quick, immediately send someone to send a message to the two Song brothers in the palace, so that they can say a lot of good words in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must not be bewitched by the dead!" ”

"Yes, I'll go!"

The housekeeper hurriedly ran towards the study in the house, waving and glaring at the people in the courtyard as he ran, signaling them not to make a movement, so as not to annoy the master.

……

"The Queen Mother."

Yuan Zhi stepped into Kunning Palace and saw Su Youyi lying on the couch with a bad face, so he lowered his voice.

Su Youyi didn't fall asleep, she slowly raised her eyes and saw Yuan Zhi showing a smile, "I was about to send someone to look for you, and you came over." ”

"What is the Queen Mother looking for me?"

Motoji came over and sat on the edge of the couch, "Is it for the sake of the new first assistant?" ”

Zhou Shoufu went, and the new first assistant candidate was the first priority of the DPRK, even if the DPRK and China had sealed the DPRK now, this matter had to be discussed.

Su Youyi nodded, "Taking advantage of the fact that the seal is sealed now, it just gives us time to think carefully." One is the succession of the new chief, and the other is the confusion of the officials. Do you know why I ordered someone to spread Zhou Shoufu's words before he died? ”

Yuan Zhi thought for a while, "First, the emperor's uncle and uncle, as well as Xue and Zhao, the two elders, can more justifiably support the government and stabilize the people's hearts after Zhou Shoufu goes." Second, it was also a warning to Old Master Su, so that Zhou Shoufu would not go, so he would take the opportunity to sit big. ”

Su Youyi pursed her lips and pulled out the list that Su Zhiming gave her from under the table, "This, the emperor took a look, I only got it today." ”

Motoji took the list and looked at it, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The above is the local officials who were mistaken by the Ministry of Officials this time, and the strange thing is that most of them have changed from "medium" to "excellent", and only a very small number have changed from "excellent" to "middle".

"Among these officials, does the emperor have an impression of anyone?"

Yuan Zhi looked over carefully and pointed to two of them, "Needless to say, these two surnamed Su, distant relatives of Old Su." And this one, who is in-law. ”

He was referring to the part that goes from "middle" to "good".

After seeing that there was nothing he was familiar with, he looked at the people who had changed from "excellent" to "medium", pointed to one of them, and said: "I also have some impressions of this person, who once had some political disagreements with Lao Su in the court, and was later demoted to ......."

As he said this, he suddenly looked back at the list again, and finally realized that something was wrong.

Most of these people have something to do with Su Qing.

The one whose political performance has been secretly elevated is the one who has a good relationship with Su Qing, either his relatives or protégés, and the one whose political performance has been secretly depressed is the person who has had a holiday with Su Qing.

This makes sense.

He looked at Su Youyi incredulously.

Su Youyi showed a faint smile instead, "I thought that he would not be like this, but I didn't expect that I underestimated him." I also overestimated myself, thinking that I could really deny my six relatives, but I didn't expect that in the face of relatives and kindness, I still chose to appease. I'm afraid that before Zhou Shoufu's death, he may not have slandered me for nepotism in his heart, right? ”

"Queen Mother, this has nothing to do with you!"

Yuanzhi didn't know how to comfort her, "The queen mother treats Lao Su as an adult, that's, that's reasonable." What's more, when the old emperor was there, Lao Su was indeed conscientious, honest and honest, how could the queen mother predict that he became like this? ”

Su Youyi narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were full of murderous aura, "Now that Zhou Shoufu is gone, if I don't suppress him again, I'm afraid it will really be as Zhou Shoufu said, let there be one more Li Ge Lao in the court!" ”
