: Great Corruption

Zhao Su, who made up her mind, was not polite, and raised her teeth and started eating.

After eating a few bites of meat, Empress Dowager Lu spoke: "What happened to you when you went back yesterday?"

Zhao Su's waist was straight, as if she was reporting to the department leaders: "After returning yesterday, what I saw and heard from me is all the achievements made by the Queen Mother for Daliang in the past few decades, especially the efforts made by the Queen Mother in improving the status of a woman, which made me admire her. You are my idol!"

"What else?"

Zhao Sumo said for a moment, and there was also the passage of Shi En. But can we say this?

She made a few bends in her mind, then looked at the opposite side: "There is another thing, I'm a little confused."

"explain."

"Mr. Shi, who committed the crime in the Ministry of Rites, is it yours? "

Empress Dowager Lu raised her unexpected eyelids: "It's not stupid."

Zhao Su cleared her throat.

After several rounds of auditions, Empress Dowager Lu’s gesture of hot mutton was already very skillful. She said, “Did you hear the emperor’s words just now?”

Admittedly...

"The emperor has just returned, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, so I had to bite the bullet and stay. But I heard nothing!"

Only a fool would admit to eavesdropping!

"That's a pity." Empress Dowager Lu felt quite regretful, "I was just about to talk to you about this case. After all, you are also a big lady, so you can't always be a cook, right? Thinking that you are from the 21st century, you might have some value to play."

Zhao Su was moved, but she was not fooled.

Empress Dowager Lu said again: "Do you know why Shi En cannot be severely punished?"

This is indeed confusing.

Zhao Su tried to say, "If you have something to do, please say it straight..."

"What else are you talking about? What's there to say?" said Empress Dowager Lu, "You haven't heard it, wouldn't it be useless to say it?"

OK, it's a good game.

Zhao Su said: "To be honest, although I tried hard to hear it just now, the sound was not under control. It ran into my ears by itself."

"Is that true?"

"Yes! That's right!"

Empress Dowager Lu put down her chopsticks: "Then what did you hear?"

"...You and the emperor were talking about Shi En just now?"

"That's right." Empress Dowager Lu looked at her, "Then are you very confused, why should I protect him?"

Is this a matter of saying?

Zhao Su did not avoid it: "The Empress Dowager must have a deep meaning in doing this, and it must be something that ordinary people like us can understand."

To be serious, yesterday when Zhao Su thought about Empress Dowager Lu was very confused, but just now, he heard her conversation with the emperor that Shi En would make no sense if Shi En was not Empress Dowager Lu's person.

With the only words from the emperor, Empress Dowager Lu expressed the intention of protecting Shi En everywhere. As the empress dowager, even if the emperor is his own son, it would be normal to have a few loyal subordinates in his hands.

But she was a little difficult to understand the changes of Empress Dowager Lu. She had done a lot of merits for the Daliang woman. A flower and moon meeting eliminated a lot of feudal bad habits. From Yun Xiangyi's tone, it can be seen how respected the empress dowager is in the hearts of the world. In theory, she should be a sensible person. But why did she still have to protect Shi En?

She founded Huayuehui. For Shi En, shouldn’t she get rid of the borer sooner?

Queen Mother Lu said: "Other people may not understand it, but you can, and you must."

What fresh and lovely remarks are these?

Zhao Su is not a minister in the court, why should he understand it?

But when the boss has a correct idea, he has to support him, and when the idea is not correct, he has to smooth things over. Zhao Su lowered his head: "Shi En did things for the Empress Dowager, but he dared to be corrupt and abuse the law. The emperor wants to punish him severely, so he must be for the sake of the country. The Empress Dowager is wise and powerful, but he wants to protect him at this moment. I think this thing Shi En did not commit is big, and the Empress Dowager is kind and willing to give him a chance."

"He greedyed a hundred thousand taels."

“…”

Empress Dowager Lu continued: "One tael of silver in this dynasty can buy two or a half meter. In the memorial to impeach him, the amount he is greedy for is enough for you to buy many houses and villages."

Zhao Su remembers that the price of rice traveling through time is five yuan per catty, and one stone of rice is fifty-nine pounds, one tael of silver and two stones and a half meter is worth more than 700 yuan? One hundred thousand taels of silver, dash, that is more than 70 million yuan! A deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, who is greedy for 70 to 80 million yuan, can't he say that the matter he has committed is small!

So the question is, since it is a huge corrupt person, wouldn’t Empress Dowager Lu have even more reason to protect him?

Queen Mother Lu took a colander and burned two pieces of tripe and wrapped it in an oil dish: "Do you know Hua Yue will do it?"

"Oh, on my way back yesterday, I not only met Wu Kui in Huayuehui, but also a Medical Kui. Later, I heard about the great achievements of the empress dowager. Thanks to the efforts of the women in the world, thanks to the empress dowager's wise decision-making, the women of Daliang did not live so depressedly. It also allowed me to enjoy the blessing of the prosperous era of Daliang under the empress dowager's rule!"

Empress Dowager Lu also went from home to palace fighting, and made a breakthrough step by step. It was rare that she was still thinking about women in the world when she started her own life. Of course, she had to affirm her mind.

Empress Dowager Lu had no intention of being modest: "I was only ten years old when I came through it. At that time, I was framed by my stepmother's daughter in the Lu family. My father beat me, the eldest daughter, and threw it into the Tian Mansion to fend for herself.

"Later, I got rid of all the stepmother's scumbag father, and I met the late emperor. I was said that the daughter of the lost mother was not worthy of the late emperor who had a wealthy background. There are countless examples of the dignity of women being trampled on.

“But that’s what this society is.

"If it weren't for this palace, you who came here through time, you should be busy copying "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandments" in the Zhao family. And it's impossible to have the opportunity to wander around all day."

Zhao Su bowed his waist deeply: "So I feel extremely honored and happy to be able to travel to General Lu!"

"What a pity," Empress Dowager Lu sighed, "You can't enjoy this blessing for long."

“…How do you say this?”

"It's because it hurts the interests of some people."

Zhao Suluoduan: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear."

Queen Mother Lu did not answer directly. She picked some green onion leaves into her bowl and asked her back: "Do you have an ideal?"

“…”

Zhao Su also has this thing.

But even though she was still an ant in her hand, she suddenly talked about her life ideals, which made people uncomfortable.

“I have ideals.”

Before she could respond, Empress Dowager Lu continued to go down: "My original ideal was to break the tradition of men being superior to women, so that women in the world could lift their backs and live a dignified life, but later I found that it was too difficult to actually operate.

"There are very limited things that I can do with my own strength."
