(I’m so ashamed. I wrote the wrong words in the chapter titles. I’m so embarrassed. I apologize. I apologize. The previous chapter should have been ‘Female Chicken Si Chen‘

Several courtiers left the Taiji Hall with hungry stomachs, walked out of the palace all the way, and raised their hands to say goodbye outside the palace gate. There were still countless people outside who were craning their necks to wait for them to come out in order to get the latest news. I'm afraid they

I never imagined that overnight, the supreme ruler of this country would basically be replaced by a different person, right?

Because they had been fighting like black-eyed chickens for the position of the Minister of War in the side hall, they were a little embarrassed to say goodbye at this time. They hurriedly handed over their hands, turned around and left, and everyone went back to their respective homes. I am afraid that what will happen next

I'm going to be busy for a while.

The carriage of Cao Yi's family had been waiting outside the palace gate early. After getting on the carriage, Cao Yi closed his eyes and leaned on the cushions. As an old fox who had experienced several coups and remained standing, he always felt that this night was too much.

It was a little weird. Although his body was extremely tired, his mind was extremely clear at this time. He needed to sort out his thoughts and think about what was wrong.

There must be something wrong.

Cao Yi's residence was not too far from the palace, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at Cao's Mansion. At this time, many carriages had stopped outside Cao's Mansion, and many people in official robes were standing outside the door.

When the officials got off the carriage, Cao Yi glanced at it, turned around and walked to the steps. The officials outside had already gathered around them, all clasping their fists and saluting.

Before the officials could ask questions, Cao Yi had already spoken, "Everyone, a little something happened in Jiangnan. His Majesty the Emperor is slightly ill, which has shocked you all. It's nothing serious. Please go back to your office immediately. What should you do? Very soon."

Reports will be sent to your offices soon, eh

, that's it!" After saying this, he waved his hand, turned around and entered the door. The red lacquered door slammed shut behind him. Many officials looked at each other. The bell rang last night, and the chief minister and ministers did not reply all night.

, the matter is definitely not as light as the first assistant said.

Although they are all members of the Cao family, they are still not high enough to enter the Cao Mansion. Of course, they cannot touch the core secrets. Everyone knows this. They came here early just to pay homage to the Cao family.

The chief minister was just expressing his loyalty, indicating that no matter what happened, they would always be on the side of the chief minister. Since the goal had been achieved, everyone stopped standing here to blow the wind. They dispersed and returned to their respective offices to meditate.

Waiting for the Di newspaper to arrive.

Those who were not high enough were locked out, and those who were high enough had naturally entered the Cao Mansion long ago. They were currently in Cao Yi's study, drinking morning tea, eating snacks, waiting for the return of the Chief Assistant. Something big happened in Beijing.

, the chief assistant was naturally the first to bear the brunt. They arrived last night and had already stayed in Cao Mansion for most of the night.

Hearing the familiar footsteps outside the door and the gentle sound of coughing and clearing their throats, several people in the study put down the tea and cakes in their hands and stood up.

Cao Yi pushed the door open and entered.

"I've seen Mr. Chief Assistant!" Everyone bowed down.

Cao Yi waved her hands and said with a smile: "You are all here? Sit down and continue. It's time to eat and drink. You must have stayed up all night last night, right?"

Looking at Cao Yi's swollen eyebags and bloodshot eyes, the leader cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the First Assistant, has been worrying about state affairs and worked hard all night. I am sitting here with nothing to do. There is nothing comparable to the hard work of the First Assistant."

Cao Yi laughed and said, "I was very excited and full of energy this night. You are so uneasy with no news here, and your life is much more difficult than mine." She sat down with laughter, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

He ate it hungrily and took a sip of tea.

Seeing Cao Yi, who usually pays great attention to appearance, everyone was shocked, and when they heard the word thrilling, everyone was even more moved.

"Brother Xing, guess what, why did you come when the bell rang yesterday?" Cao Yi picked up another piece of pastry and asked.

This person whom Cao Yi calls Brother Xing is called Xing Shu. He is the most important one among Cao's men. He is the top choice in both military and civil affairs. However, he was captured by the late Emperor Li Jia due to corruption in his early years.

be used again.

Hearing that Cao Yi was testing himself, Xing Shu thought for a moment and said: "The chief minister and your lord, Shangjing is basically in peace now. Except for the certain military threat in the south of Jingzhou, other places are very peaceful. If you want to tell me,

If something big happens in either Jingzhou or the three southern states, and if alarm bells are ringing, it could only be something wrong with the leaders of these two places, either Xie Shilin or Prince Li Qing!"

Cao Yi had calmed down by this time, chewing snacks slowly and sipping tea, "Li Qing died in battle!"

With a roar, several people in the room stood up, and tables, chairs, cups, and cups rattled.

He raised his head and glanced at them, "Why is there such a big reaction? Didn't Xing Shu just say that it was either Xie Shilin or Li Qing? I thought you were all mentally prepared?"

Xing Shu's face turned a little blue, "Why is it His Highness the Prince? As a general, he has countless soldiers under his command. What kind of defeat will it take for him to die in battle? Jiangnan, Jiangnan..."

Cao Yi patted the cake remnants on his hand and said, "Don't think too much. There is nothing wrong with Jiangnan at the moment. Although the Northern Expeditionary Army is attacking, they have been blocked."

"How did His Royal Highness die?" Xing Shu asked.

"Died in battle!"

"This is impossible!" Xing Shu shouted.

"Is there anything impossible?" Cao Yi said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Prince only brought 500 personal guards to patrol the front. When they arrived at Laibao, they were unexpectedly attacked by the Northern Expedition Army. His Highness the Prince failed to break through and eventually died in battle.

"

Xing Shu blinked his eyes and looked at Cao Yi, "Chief Assistant, His Royal Highness the Prince is inspecting the front line. This must be a highly confidential matter. How did the Northern Expeditionary Army arrive by chance? Isn't it too much of a coincidence? Lai Bao

The county is the front line. As far as I know, there are thousands of soldiers there, plus His Royal Highness's personal guards. How could it be possible for the city to be broken down so easily or even killed in battle?"

"In our opinion, there are indeed many impossibilities, but it just happened." Cao Yi picked up the tea cup and took a sip while looking at everyone.

"His Royal Highness was killed by someone." Xing Shu did not hesitate at all.

"So what?" Cao Yi sneered, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. His Highness the Prince was surrounded by the Northern Expeditionary Army and died fighting hard. This happened under the prying eyes of the public. His Royal Highness the Prince's bodyguards

He is being escorted to Shangjing by Su Can."

"Okay, once he arrives, everything will become clear." Xing Shu clapped his hands.

"Nothing will change!" Cao Yi shook her head, "Do you want to know what else happened tonight?"

"Your Majesty has suffered a stroke!" Cao Yi said directly without waiting for anyone to ask.

This time, everyone was not shocked, but frightened. They looked at Cao Yi and could not say a word. After a long while, Xing Shu murmured: "The building is going to fall, the building is going to fall!"

"It's not that serious! Although His Majesty suffered a stroke, it seems that it is only the mildest at present. He just has some inconvenience in his legs and feet. Everything else is normal," Cao Yi said.

Everyone let out a long breath, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes.

"Although it was just a minor stroke, Your Majesty needs to practice meditation in order to recover, so now it is the Concubine Xian who is in charge of the affairs of the court!" Cao Yiyun dropped another bombshell calmly, and everyone's reaction was indeed as he expected.

The pot exploded.

"How is this possible?"

"Pheasant Sichen, the country is in great trouble!"

"absurd!"

"This woman is cruel and ruthless. If she takes power, the world will be in chaos."

Looking at the people with indignant faces, Cao Yizhi pressed his hands downwards, and the study slowly became quiet, "Everyone, I don't know the rest yet, but it is good to be ruthless. This is the first time you have discussed matters with me.

I beat Xu Wei clean and drove him back to his house, and now there is no one left as Minister of War!"

One after another, the bombshell news bombarded the people in the study, making them dizzy and dizzy. For a while, everyone's small brains couldn't accommodate so much shocking news.

"The Minister of War is an important minister of the country. It's not just who says he can avoid it. At least it has to be discussed at the court meeting to clarify the crime and then punish it. What does this mean?" Xing Shu murmured.

Cao Yi raised her head and laughed, "What does the Concubine Xian do? If I insist on doing this, I will really harm Xu Wei. I can guarantee that as long as I say this, Xu Wei's various major and minor crimes will be revealed without a night's work."

It’s not poor, and it’s a sure thing. The whole person has been blackened by him, and it will be difficult to wash it away even if you pour a river of water.”

Everyone lowered their heads.

"Chief Assistant, you and the other adults didn't put up a fight?" Xing Shu asked, "She can withdraw the Minister of War like this today and set such a bad precedent. I can let you go if you understand."

"Resist?" Cao Yi smiled bitterly, "Concubine Xian threw a big meat bone over, and everyone was fighting for it like vicious dogs. Who would think about resisting and punishing people? To tell you the truth, I was also thinking about it at the time.

Let's fight for you to sit in this seat! This is better than letting a guy who has nothing to do with his body sit in the seat."

Xing Shu's body felt hot, "Xing Shu has little talent and little knowledge, how can he take on such a big responsibility?"

Cao Yi shook her head, "Brother Xing, look, you are also tempted. As long as I want to fight, I can definitely win. Concubine Xian probably wants to get my support, but on the way back, I thought about it carefully, and the more I

The more I thought about it, the weirder it seemed. It wasn’t until I got home that I finally understood the weirdness of this matter.”

"Chief Assistant, what's so weird about this?"

"Brother Xing, even if Concubine Xian gave it to me for free, I don't want the position of Minister of the Ministry of War." Cao Yi looked at Xing Shu with bright eyes, "I can't have it! Brother Xing!"

"Master Chief Assistant, if the position of Minister of the Ministry of War is taken by someone who doesn't know anything about military affairs or is simply a confidant of the Concubine Xian, it will be really bad!" Xing Shu said in a low voice.

"I'm afraid someone hopes so, right?"

"who?"

"His Majesty!"

Xing Shu's eyes narrowed suddenly and he looked straight at Cao Yi.
