At dawn, a group of harem concubines came to Zhaoyang Hall to ask for a meeting.

He Jin couldn't slack off this group of lords, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Ning, Concubine Li, Concubine Jing, Concubine Kang, Imperial Concubine, and Concubine An are all here, asking to meet Your Majesty." ”

There were ten women who came, and the emperor didn't see them, his head was big, and he raised his forehead and said, "What kind of mess are they coming!"

The queen has long been numb.

He Jin stood, cheekily smiling, still waiting for the emperor's orders.

This emperor is really an amorous seed, so many women, all the women he accepted into the harem, he loved them one by one. And the emperor is still a gentle and considerate man, and in the face of the women he loves, he is thinking of the old love, so ten of them came at once, although he had a headache, he couldn't do anything to order ten of them to go back, so come on, come on, come on.

"Your Majesty......"

Concubine Niangniang took the lead, and the etiquette was not good, so she walked straight to the emperor, it was difficult for her to have a son as big as Zhao Yanheng, and she did coquettish and willful things in front of the emperor, that tone, that look, that pace, such as the virtuous concubine and Concubine De, and other ladies, famous ladies, could never do it.

Concubine Xian was behind her, with a sickly look on her face, and took the lead in greeting the emperor and queen.

This virtuous concubine is the biological mother of the fourth son of the emperor, King Zhao, since the early death of King Zhao, she has been sick all the year round, and she is not willing to appear on lively occasions, so she will not be seen on New Year's Day. This incident shocked even her, a perennial avoidant.

Concubine Shu finally made up for the etiquette of asking for peace, and bowed her knees to the queen and said: "I am nesting a fire, this heart is not very smooth, and the sweat on my forehead is coming out layer by layer, it is really a big faux pas in front of the mother, a sin." ”

The queen was also tolerant, and said: "I know that you are in a hurry, and I have only come to the palace now, and I am already patient." ”

Concubine Shu looked back at the concubine behind her, and said compassionately: "I am a single family, I have a pair of children and I am not dissatisfied, and my son and daughter-in-law are very filial to me. Fortunately, King Wu's biological mother died a long time ago and is not here, otherwise I would have scratched her face in public. ”

King Wu's biological mother has been dead for more than 30 years. The emperor said unhappily: "Okay, don't disturb the peace of the deceased." ”

Concubine Shu became more and more competitive, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been with you for more than 20 years, is it not as good as a dead person? ”

Concubine De immediately said with a straight face: "Concubine Shu must not make up her mind, there are people with bad intentions who have bribed the people in King Wu's mansion and provoked the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family." ”

"If the second child doesn't take good care of the people in his house, he is incompetent. Concubine Shu said sharply: "In this way, the second woman's hand is not too much to count as what he did." ”

Concubine De couldn't refute it this time, and Concubine Xian said weakly: "Don't quarrel, listen to what the emperor said, if there is such a mess, we can't rest assured." ”

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li nodded in the back, the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, no matter how you fight for me, there are rarely such rude injuries to life, such as King Lu of Qi, who is the same generation as the emperor, how discordant he is with the emperor, the emperor is still not satisfied with the emperor, and they have done several things that have crossed the line, so they are imprisoned.

Now, now that the killer is in pain, how can this group of women and children be at ease.

Only then did Concubine Shu return to the topic and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I don't ask how to deal with it, I want to hear it myself, how the adults in the court tried this case." ”

The emperor's eyes widened and he said, "Nonsense, how can you be listening." ”

Concubine Shu raised her head and snorted: "It's fair to judge, let's listen to what's wrong, as long as the emperor is not eccentric, I can be convinced." ”

The emperor Nian Concubine is a bitter master, and he has a lot of tolerance for her, and as soon as he brushed his face, he looked at the queen.

The queen nodded and said lightly: "It's okay, the provincial one listened to the two words, and a screen will be set up later, and it doesn't hurt for you to listen to this judgment." ”

How to deal with this matter, the emperor and the queen have already discussed, and the emperor will follow.

Later, the nobles of the clan, the cabinet ministers, the officials of the six ministries and the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, the Dali Temple, the general political envoy and other pillars of the court have arrived, today is not the day of the great court, these ministers are in the Zhaoyang Hall to discuss government affairs. A black lacquered flat gold nine-dragon screen was set up on the right side of the Zhaoyang Palace, and the concubines were standing behind the screen.

The mentors of Shangshu and Ji Yan of the Ministry of Industry are sons and daughters, and they appreciate Ji Yan's junior very much, so they took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, I rule the world with filial piety, no matter how several adults decide yesterday's matter, as long as King Wu has some suspicions, the marriage between Ji Yan and the lord of Yong'an should be annulled." ”

Bringing filial piety out, even the emperor can't oppress people with power, so that Ji Yan can be a big unfilial person, so after the Ministry of Industry Shangshu said this, the ministers seconded it.

The emperor also took pity on Ji Yan for the pain of losing his father and mother, and raised his hand to allow Ji Yan and the county lord of Yongan to annul their marriage.

Then Zhang Rang, the secretary of Dali Temple, stood up and asked the emperor to give Dali Temple the authority to interrogate King Wu.

The emperor was a year old that night, his face was flabby, and his spirit was low, and he said, "Don't try it anymore." ”

The courtiers and the concubines behind the screen were in a commotion. The queen walked out of the screen calmly, and although the courtiers knew that the queen was here, they also bowed down to pay homage to the queen first.

The queen sat on a chair with a black lacquer golden cloud dragon pattern on the side of the emperor's throne, and said indifferently: "There is no need for trial, the palace has already thought of a set of words." ”

Everyone was silent, and the queen's words were too straightforward. The queen said: "This matter is because King Wu's concubine Cao wanted to frame Princess Wu, so she poisoned Princess Xiang on the spot. This Cao family, who was pregnant with a child a few years ago, was secretly medicated by Princess Wu until she was born prematurely in June. The Cao family held a grudge and poisoned Princess Xiang to blame Princess Wu. ”

Cao stayed in the cell of Dali Temple, and the queen did not send anyone to interrogate her, and the queen was completely open-mouthed, saying: "King Wu's concubine Cao, with the intention of poisoning Princess Xiang and strangling her." Princess Wu plotted to kill the royal heir and deposed her. King Wu did not repair the inner curtain, and was demoted to the king of the county, and he could never be promoted. ”

Zhu Dunxie, the right capital of the upright Imperial Procuratorate, took a breath and said, "Queen Mother, since the Cao family has a grudge against Princess Wu, why don't you kill Princess Wu directly." ”

"One death is not the best way to take revenge on a person, Lord Zhu, you know how deep a woman's resentment is. The queen smiled, and that smile made people's hairs stand on end, and said: "Cao's this is a more profound revenge, so that King Wu and Princess Wu will lose the power they care about the most." ”

After the queen finished making up this set of rhetoric, everyone pondered and pondered, and they no longer refuted it. If this kind of thing happens, a small concubine in Wu Wangfu will inevitably die, and strangling her is not a wrongful death for her, the master makes a mistake, and the slave takes the blame, and that's it. And King Wu and Princess Wu, who really made mistakes, have also been actually punished, as for the crime of being crowned, it is a crime to insist on murdering Princess Xiang, are you waiting to see King Wu and King Xiang turn against each other?

Decent and decent, the decency of the royal family, when you can paste it, don't poke it.

The concubine standing behind the screen was unwilling, but the queen personally dealt with the matter, and the concubine saw it in the queen's face, and she endured it.

The queen still has a lot of face, and only the queen present said this, and everyone tolerated it.

At this time, the queen stood up, turned around and knelt on the imperial steps, the phoenix robe hung to the ground, and the silver light of the standing water pattern on the hem flickered.

"The queen ......" The emperor did not know what he meant.

The queen put the middle palace note she wrote yesterday on the top of her head, her eyes were resolute, her voice was clear, and she said: "The concubine has lived in the middle palace for 30 years, and she can't inherit the heir to the temple, help the dragon to be filial, and she can't follow it. ”

There was silence.

The Tang family of Yongfu Palace is Zhao Yanheng's biological mother, Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu felt that her heart was pounding and was about to jump out of her throat, Concubine Shu swallowed, and knelt down in fear and said: "Queen Niang, the concubine has never had the heart to transgress!"

These words are the truth of Concubine Shu, who was raised by Tang Jie, the official of the Bell and Drum Division. To say a word without ambition, the internal officials can □□ a girl according to the emperor's preferences, but they can't cultivate the demeanor of the mother of a country. Besides, if Concubine Shu's qualifications had coveted the queen's position, she would have been killed in the harem. So Concubine Shu never thought that she could become a queen.

Concubine Shu knelt like this, except for the emperor, no one stood in the palace, the courtiers and concubines knelt down one after another, Concubine De thought that she had been rebelled by the queen, and almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth and said: "Queen Mother, Emperor Taizu's Empress Hu has no heirs, Queen Mother De chases Gaozu, why is this so, let me wait...... made Concubine Shu fall into the infamy of persecuting the mother of the country. ”

Concubine De's words were a cross-examination of Concubine Shu, but in the situation on the spot, Concubine Shu couldn't deal with Concubine De.

The emperor stood, his stunned expression becoming more and more old. At this moment, the emperor reflected on himself, although he was a merry man, seeing a woman love a woman, and loving the charm and beauty of those women, but he only let those women accompany him, and the position of his wife in his heart has always been reserved for the queen.

"Queen, Queen. The emperor knew that the queen had always been resentful of him, and the emperor would be ashamed of himself, Qi Qiran said: "I also regret that I don't have a child with you, but there are thousands of women in the world, and only you are my queen." ”

The queen stood up suddenly, the queen was a tall woman, and her figure was as tall as the emperor. The awe-inspiring momentum of the queen after standing up completely overwhelmed the emperor's slimy virtue, and the queen stood on the top of the imperial steps, as if she was independent, and said loudly: "There is no concubine in the middle palace, so a group of concubines covet it." Since the emperor does not appoint a prince, let Lao Qi become his son-in-law, and in the future, the emperor will be the undisputed successor for a hundred years. In this way, the royal family is naturally peaceful. 166 Reading Network
