"Just now … What happened?"
Wuma Shang's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling about the "petty tricks" Jiang Pengji had mentioned.
"Just now, Chief Wu Ma brought a woman to the court and tried to expose my identity as a woman. He was determined to punish me for deceiving the emperor."
Wuma Shang was dumbfounded. His shocked expression could not be faked.
Wait … Why did he understand every word Liu Xi said, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together?
More importantly …
Wuma Shang was dumbfounded. "You … you're a woman?"
It felt as absurd as a nine-foot-tall, burly, bearded man calling himself a woman with a charming face!
Jiang Pengji nodded. "Yes, Chief Wu Ma kept talking about this and wanted to use it to punish me. Later, I noticed that Chief Wu Ma and the old woman had strange expressions. Only then did I realize that Chief Wu Ma had been harmed by a petty person's witchcraft. "
Wuma Shang's mind was muddled.
He was indeed unhappy with Jiang Pengji, but there was nothing wrong with his brain. Look at the young emperor. What good could deceiving the emperor do?
He cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he kept pleading innocence. He insisted that he had been bewitched by someone using witchcraft.
No matter what, Wuma Shang was the chief of Shanghai County, an old fox who had been in the bureaucracy for many years.
As long as he insisted that he was innocent and that he had been harmed by witchcraft, he could turn today's matter into a small one. No matter what, he was still one of the alliance's ten thousand elite troops. The court could not use this excuse to kill him.
There were many officials who were close to Wuma Shang, and they all stood up to speak for him.
For a moment, the empress dowager was in a difficult position.
With the help of the officials, Wuma Shang's panicked heart calmed down a lot. He calmed down and began to think about who was behind this.
No matter how he thought about it, the empress dowager was the most suspicious.
Why was he so suspicious?
First, before he woke up, he had sex with the empress dowager. He had so much fun fighting with her that he was sweating all over.
After venting, his guard was at its lowest. The empress dowager had the highest success rate. She could harm him without him knowing.
Second, before the young emperor ascended the throne, he was the young emperor's biggest competitor. Would the empress dowager be willing to let a hidden threat like him live?
No matter how he thought about it, the Empress Dowager was most likely to plot against him.
If the plan succeeded, not only would they be able to take his head and power, but they would also be able to deal a heavy blow to the Liu family's father and son … Bah, the Liu family's father and daughter!
Unfortunately, with the Emperor's current prestige, not to mention the crime of deceiving the Emperor, even if he carried a sword into the palace, he would still be fine.
Which idiot would think that the crime of "deceiving the Emperor" would be enough to topple the Liu father and daughter?
Which idiot!
Thinking about this, Wuma Shang was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He had really suffered an undeserved calamity.
It would have been fine if he could have used this opportunity to topple Lady Liu and her father. Unfortunately, it wasn't effective and he was even dragged into this mess.
The most important thing now was to rescue himself from the quagmire. He could think about the future later.
Once he saved himself, he would find the Empress Dowager, that poisonous woman, to settle the score.
Wuma Shang broke free from the imperial guards' restraints, straightened his messy clothes, and bowed to Jiang Pengji in apology.
"Just now, this official was careless and fell for a despicable person's trick. This is why I wrongly accused the Middle Chief General. Please forgive me, Middle Chief General." Wuma Shang's ability to say polite words was not weak. He said righteously, "In this official's opinion, the Middle Chief General is a woman who is not inferior to a man. Regardless of whether she is a man or a woman, she is a good minister of the country. The crime of deceiving the Emperor is even more unfounded. The despicable person behind this is truly despicable. This official will not forgive her! "
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "County Chief Wuma, you praise me too much. How can I be as good as the Middle Chief General?"
Wuma Shang waved his hand and smiled amiably. "Don't be humble. In this official's opinion, having a daughter like this makes me envious of Liu Zhongqing's good fortune. If this official remembers correctly, I think it's time to call you the Middle Chief General instead of the Wanzhou Magistrate. You are so young, yet you are truly a heroine. "
Jiang Pengji said, "Not yet. I was just about to thank you, but Chief Wuma interrupted me. But you can't blame the Chief. If you want to blame someone, blame the despicable person behind this. To think that they would bring such an evil method like witchcraft into the court. Fortunately, they did not cause too much damage. "
"This official is ashamed."
Wuma Shang climbed up the ladder and used this opportunity to clean himself up. Jiang Pengji accepted the position of Wanzhou Magistrate as she had wished.
The viewers in the streaming room were a little disappointed. They had thought that Jiang Pengji would use this opportunity to kill Wuma Shang as well.
Jiang Pengji replied with one sentence.
Host V: "There's no rush. Wuma Shang has now targeted the emperor and the empress dowager." The empress dowager went for wool and came home shorn. No matter what, Wuma Shang was still the Chief of Shanghai County. He had tens of thousands of troops under his command. He could secretly torture the mother and son to death.
Jiang Pengji kept Wuma Shang alive because she wanted to use him to keep the young emperor and the empress dowager in check. At the same time, she could make Wuma Shang owe her a favor.
Wuma Shang did not participate in the sales of the flashing bricks. She could use this opportunity to sell them at a high price and extort money from him!
At that moment, someone in the audience suddenly remembered something.
Diligent Lazy Woman: "Oh oh, I suddenly thought of something. The little emperor is so weak now. Does the host want to try holding the emperor hostage and ordering the nobles around? Just like Boss Cao, when his power reaches a certain stage, he can add nine tin to himself, then he can establish a country and proclaim himself emperor!
Holding the emperor hostage and ordering the nobles around?
The viewers in the streaming room were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They all encouraged Jiang Pengji to give it a try.
Of course, other than those who supported it, there were also many viewers who were not optimistic about the policy of "holding the emperor hostage and ordering the nobles around."
Yinyuejia Zhuge Qinmo: "Boss Cao can hold the emperor hostage and ordering the nobles around. He needs the right conditions to implement this policy." The Han royal family has indeed declined, but there are still many loyal Han officials who are not completely disappointed in the Han royal family. For example, Xun Lingjun, who worked under Boss Cao. He has been an official for more than 30 years and has been receiving Han salaries. He is still loyal to the Han royal family and not Boss Cao. In the end, they fell out because Boss Cao wanted to go solo. With such a loyal Han official, it indirectly shows that the Han royal family still has a certain amount of deterrence to the nobles around the world. That's why Boss Cao holding the emperor hostage and ordering the nobles around would be effective. According to the Dongqing royal family, holding the emperor hostage and ordering the nobles around would not work.
What does "holding the emperor hostage and ordering the nobles around" mean?
In layman's terms, it's using the name of the emperor to issue orders, gather power, and have a good reason for doing so.
The world is now divided into five parts. The emperor of Dongqing is not the only emperor, so there is insufficient centralization of power. In addition, Dongqing has only been established for a short period of time. The successive emperors have worn away the feelings that the talented scholars of Dongqing have for the royal family. As a result, the scholars of the world are far from loyal to the emperor.
Under such circumstances, how many people will still be loyal to the Dongqing royal family?
It can't be said that there are none, but there are only a handful of them.
Who will really take the young emperor's orders seriously?
As for the advantage of "having a good reason for doing so," it's even more useless.
The host has a bad temper. She can hit whoever she wants. She can casually come up with a reason to do so.
