"Your Majesty, I have never said it..."

"Hmph, what Concubine Li said in person, how could there be a false companion? Big companion!"

"I'm here!" He Taigao immediately stepped forward.

"Concubine Chen is arrogant and rude, has no suspicion, and is distracted from the harem. From now on, she will abolish the throne of concubines, demote to common people, and be sent to the cold palace, and take back all the treatment of concubines!"

Concubine Chen's expression changed drastically. She didn't expect that she would fall from heaven to hell just by just a few words.

This is called a wink!

The other concubines all had delicate bodies trembled. With the lessons of Concubine Chen, how could they dare to speak again?

"Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty. Please don't throw me into the cold palace, Your Majesty..."

The Cold Palace is the most remote place in the harem. Not only is the treatment very poor, but the most important thing is that entering there means that it is no different from going to jail.

In the future, let alone giving birth to a dragon son, even if you see the emperor, it can be said that it is a tragic life in darkness.

"I don't want to see her again. Come and take Concubine Chen down!"

"Emperor, Your Majesty... please spare me..."

Concubine Chen cried, but unfortunately, at this critical moment, Wang Chong would not pay attention to her!

Concubine Chen's voice gradually faded away, and at this moment, there was silence in the hall.

No one dared to speak because the concubines were afraid that they would say the wrong thing, and their ending would be the same as Concubine Chen.

"Do you have any objections to my decision just now?" Wang Chong said coldly.

"I think it's very suitable."

"The Emperor is wise."

“…”

Wang Chong nodded with satisfaction at the attitude of the concubines and thought to himself that the ancients had no mind. If it were a modern person, how could there be such a person as Concubine Chen?

After letting the concubines go down, Wang Chong began to instruct Zhao Luan what he would do next.

The first thing is to save expenses from now on.

There is not much money in the treasury, and it is not worth living a luxurious life for the sake of the concubines.

Fortunately, Zhao Luan is a person who is saving. With her to manage it, Wang Chong said he is very at ease.

After giving instructions, Wang Chong shook his hand and ordered Zhao Luan to go down to check the harem books and take control of the harem as soon as possible.

…………

Naturally, the matter in the harem could not be hidden. Soon, all civil and military officials learned about the news that Wang Chong had placed Empress Dowager Lu Huan under house arrest.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Wang Chong had not gone to the morning court, but after the eunuch reported that all civil and military officials had come over and asked to meet the emperor.

Empress Dowager Lu Huan also had allies in the court. This can be referred to as Lu Zhi and even famous empress dowagers like Cixi.

If there are no allies in the court, they can interfere so wildly in politics, and they will not have a long life.

Lu Huan's ally was Wang Chong's uncle, named Lu Zhongbo.

It was precisely because of Lu Huan that Lu Zhongbo was walking on flat ground in the officialdom. He became the prime minister of the dynasty for just a few decades and was ordered to assist in the government affairs.

It’s a pity that there is no support, and there are many people who are embezzling.

Lu Huan was also a woman who watched her younger brother be corrupt and abuse the law. This is called uncultured. The reason why many dynasties in ancient times perished was that they actually suffered the loss of unculturedness.

If we follow the modern business philosophy, do not place nepotism and put national interests first in everything, how can we perish?

"Emperor, this Lu Zhongbo has many gangs in the court. After hearing about the Empress Dowager, he led all civil and military officials to attack. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the morning court today."

In the back garden, He Taigao said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will meet this uncle today."

After a while, Wang Chong went to the Golden Palace.

"The Emperor is here!"

This was the first time that Wang Chong participated in the morning court as the emperor.

In the past, when I was in the Great Dragon Dynasty, I always followed the emperor as an eunuch, and I felt a little sad for a moment.

After a moment of fluctuation in his heart, Wang Chong calmly sat on the dragon throne.

"Long live my emperor..."

Although all civil and military officials were idiots behind their backs and raised the emperor as pigs, they did a good job on the surface and kung tribute to them.

"All my beloveds are calm." Wang Chong yawned, as if he had not woken up.

This image made all civil and military officials look at it, making it more certain that Wang Chong was not interested in the government affairs, which made everyone feel much more at ease.

He Taigao stood in front of him and shouted: "I have a report early, and I will leave the court for nothing..."

The next moment, Lu Zhongbo stood up.

"My minister Lu Zhongbo reported to the emperor. He heard that the empress dowager was ill. He was very worried, so he asked the famous doctor and begged the emperor to ask the famous doctor for inquiries to treat the empress dowager."

Wang Chong knew that Lu Zhongbo would stand up.

There are many parties in the court, with the Lu Party being the strongest.

Although his mother is Lu Zhongbo's sister, sometimes for the sake of convenience, Lu Zhongbo doesn't care whether his nephew can firmly live in the country.

The ancients had very low vision. For example, during the period of the Great Meng Kingdom, when they saw the destruction of the country, the emperor mobilized all civil and military officials to crowdfund the money in order to raise money.

In order to get the minister to follow the trend to donate goods, the emperor asked the queen to secretly give about 8 million taels to the queen's father (I forgot the specific amount) and asked the father-in-law to take the lead in donating money.

Unexpectedly, my father-in-law deducted three million taels and donated only five million taels.

Finally, the army came, and the father-in-law and his family and all civil and military officials were confiscated, and the female family became playthings in the enemy country.

When Wang Chong saw this history, he couldn't help but sigh that the ancients had a very low vision, especially the more important point. Anyway, the country was about to be destroyed. What should I do if these civil and military officials have been kept?

Wouldn’t it be nice for the emperor to send troops to search the house directly?

According to Wang Chong's understanding, when the emperor attaches importance to fame, he does not want to leave a bad reputation, but the country has perished and he still cares about these things. It is really...... Lu Family Thought...

"Uncle, my mother is sick, and I feel even heavier than you, but that's a plague, four servants have died. What if the disease spreads and my royal family dies?"

"Your Majesty, the doctor I hired is very skilled in medical skills, and there will be no problem."

"Then...well, since the uncle cares about his mother so much, I will follow you. However, the Feng Palace is temporarily stable. I don't want to cause trouble. I want to wait until my mother calms down and send someone over."

Wang Chong used the delay plan.

Lu Zhongbo frowned. Isn’t this obvious that I won’t let you go in? Just as I was about to continue speaking, Wang Chong shook his hand and said, “Okay, my concubine is not in good health recently. I want to visit her. Let’s go and leave the court.”

Leaving his words, Wang Chong left here, leaving behind a group of officials looking at each other.

"Suang Lu, this emperor is too willful. Why doesn't the empress dowager care about it? She still cares about the concubine."

"Oh, let's just say less."

A group of people surrounded Lu Zhongbo, all sighing about Wang Chong's incompetence.

Lu Zhongbo frowned, he was actually quite strange.

Originally, after learning that Lu Huan was under house arrest, he guessed whether the emperor suddenly wanted to investigate something, so he came over this morning to find out the news.

But judging from his appearance, he still misses the harem as before.

Could it be that Lu Huan is really sick?

"Everyone, please go back first. I will try my best to persuade the emperor in this matter."

Lu Zhongbo also complained about Wang Chong's sudden departure.

You know, when he forced Luo Zhao to force him to submit, he led all civil and military officials to force Luo Zhao to surrender. Today, he would leave directly, so it would be useless to stay.

…………………………………………………………

Returning to the residence of Queen Zhao Luan, Wang Chong told the matter in the court for a moment, and couldn't help but curse again: "This Lu Zhongbo is still my uncle, who joins forces with all civil and military officials to punish me. If he doesn't fall, my great-fire country will be in danger."

"Xu! The emperor is careful of the sound of the wall. If the news leaks, it will inevitably make Lu Zhongbo rebellious." Zhao Luan hurriedly reminded.

The civil and military officials nowadays have no intention of rebelling. Everyone wants to make money, but if they know that the emperor wants to investigate them, no one will surrender.

If you prepare it for them then, it will be troublesome!

"Well, I understand, isn't this the only one here, you queen? I trust you."

Zhao Luan felt warm, "I am really happy to be able to gain the trust of the emperor. It's almost noon, it's time to have lunch."

"Yeah, okay."

Immediately, Zhao Luan went out and ordered someone to prepare lunch.

But at this time, He Taigao brought an official in.

"Sir Shen An, please come to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

This is a bit of an impression in Shen An Wang Chong's memory. He is the Minister of Justice. He is in charge of big and small cases, especially some death penalty cases, and he has to go through his hands. The major cases about officials need to be reviewed by Wang Chong.
