Chapter 684: Intercession

The Queen Mother went to the imperial study to intercede for the Mo family, but what she said was not to plead, but to talk about money.

Although the 600,000 taels were given to the queen mother by the old princess, but after a turn in her hands, it was in the hands of the emperor, and she actually didn't take any advantage, but lost a lot of money and lost face.

It's just these words, she is inconvenient to say to the old princess, after all, it is not the old princess who asked the queen mother to fill the hole in the imperial dining room.

If it weren't for Dong Ji's pawnshop doing tricks on the silver ticket, the money would be of great use and solved the worries of the queen mother, and the queen mother and Yongguo Gong could only blame Dong Ji pawnshop, not the old princess.

Besides, the Queen Mother was also afraid that the old princess would know any secrets, so she didn't dare to tear her face.

Talking about money directly, although it is a bit vulgar, but it works.

The emperor didn't expect the queen mother to say this, he frowned, and the queen mother said, "I just left the old princess to enter the palace to find the mourning family, presumably the emperor also heard about it, before the Mo family sold the deed of ownership, and asked the old princess to come to the mourning family for help, the mourning family and her have known each other for many years, and they couldn't bear to agree for a while, and now the Mo family's guilt is conclusive, and the mourning family also knows that the emperor destroyed the Mo family's heart, and dare not intercede for the old princess, the 600,000 taels, and ask the emperor to return the mourning family, and the mourning family to the old princess." ”

The emperor's brows furrowed, and he said, "That money, I have already given it to General Chu to pay his military salary." ”

The Queen Mother said, "It's only been a few days, I think General Chu shouldn't have used it yet, the emperor gave it to the mourning family, and the mourning family handed it over to the old princess, the money belongs to the Mo family, and it should be handed over to the treasury, and the emperor will send someone to get it back." ”

The Queen Mother is very smart, even in a haggard and sad mood, she knows what to do to be good to her.

Moving her mouth, the emperor has nothing to lose, but she has paid back the money, so she doesn't have to help the old princess save the Mo family, she doesn't break her promise and get fat, she just needs to tell the old princess that the emperor would rather return 600,000 taels to her than help the Mo family, she is not not not helping, but the emperor does not give a chance.

In this way, she will not be offended on both sides, and the crisis will be invisible.

The emperor didn't speak, the queen mother's weak body was a little shaky, but fortunately, at this time, the prince entered the palace, he was worried that the emperor would not be able to resist the queen mother, so he specially entered the palace to watch a little.

Seeing the prince coming, the emperor said as if he had seen a savior, "Just in time for the king to come, the queen mother asked me to give her 600,000 taels, and she wanted to return it to the old princess." ”

The prince glanced at the Queen Mother and said, "Before, why didn't the Queen Mother admit that the 600,000 taels were buried under the tree in the small courtyard where the steward of the imperial dining room lived?"

Well, the prince's speech is a little harsh, although the queen mother is not the emperor's mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law.

The Great Zhou ruled the country with filial piety, and the emperor did not dare to disobey the queen mother, in case the queen mother fainted in the imperial study, spread it out, and damage the monarchy.

The Queen Mother's face stiffened, and she said weakly, "Didn't you admit it later?"

The money for greedy ink has been spit out, can it be said that there is no confession?

The prince said, "In my opinion and the emperor, the 600,000 taels and the 1 million taels that Yongguo Gong later sent to the palace filled the hole in the imperial dining room, and the queen mother asked the emperor to hand over 600,000 taels to you, turn around, and return to the emperor's hands, the emperor has no loss, so how should the queen mother be charged with accepting bribes?"

There is no regret medicine in the world, but the Queen Mother's approach is equivalent to taking a regret pill.

How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

As the queen mother, what she did was already interfering in the government.

The queen mother didn't expect the prince to be so oily and salty, much more difficult than the emperor, so she couldn't help but say with a cold face, "The mourning family accepted bribes, but it was your mother who bribed the mourning family!"

The prince laughed, "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, if the queen mother stood up to identify the old princess, how should she be punished, I will not ask the emperor to intercede." ”

"You!" the Queen Mother gritted her teeth angrily.

The old princess is not the princess's mother, if she is pro, how can she sit back and watch the Mo family suffer and stand by, she and the old princess fight, both lose, and the king and the emperor are in the arms.

She wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

If she doesn't do it, she will only be caught in the middle.

The Queen Mother's eyes were red, her breathing was short, Mama Xu helped her sit down, and then looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you can understand the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has been in peace for so many years, and she has been in the dark about the affairs of the Duke of Yongguo and the Imperial Dining Room, the Lord of Changle County was killed, the Queen Mother was sad, no one saw her, and she was also thinking that she had been in love with the old princess for many years before helping her, who thought that she would not be able to help, and it made the old princess unhappy...... ”

If the Queen Mother can't say anything, Mama Xu will do it for her.

But Mama Xu's words are conclusive, in the emperor's opinion, it is to play her in the palm of her hand, Chongzhou has an iron mine and does not report it, and the Zhao family privately raises soldiers and horses, these two things are enough to convict the Queen Mother and the Zhao family of a major crime of rebellion.

In their eyes, they are at peace.

If everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty is so peaceful and self-serving, can he sit on the throne steadily?

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said it, the emperor's heart also became cold, and he said, "There is no need to say it again! The 600,000 taels, I have already given it to General Chu, and I am looking for him to get it back, and it is bound to make the queen mother and the old princess discuss privately and the affairs of the imperial dining room noisy, everyone knows that I can't afford to lose this face, and the royal family can't afford to lose it! The queen mother is unwell, so it's better to take care of the affairs of the court." ”

This is an eviction order.

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor and said, "That's where the old princess is...... How do I explain it?"

The emperor looked at the queen mother and said, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this rule, don't you know the queen mother who keeps to herself? Who gave you the confidence to persuade me to send the Mo family lightly? Or does the queen mother think that as long as she kills the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and destroys the evidence of the Mo family's greed for ink, she can accept the 600,000 taels with peace of mind?!"

The Queen Mother looked wronged, and pleaded, "The mourning family did not send someone to assassinate the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, let alone ask someone to destroy the evidence ......!"

Because of the excitement, before the Queen Mother finished speaking, she coughed violently.

The coughing sound, the emperor frowned when he heard it, and the queen mother coughed and said, "The mourning family only promised to help the Mo family ask the emperor, and the mourning family knew who wanted the Mo family's life, and the mourning family ......." ”

"Enough!" the emperor interrupted her.

The prince stood aside, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the Queen Mother with a judgmental look.

The queen mother knows that the old prince wants to destroy the Mo family?

How could she guess that it was the old prince?

Could it be that she knows the inside story?

The prince wanted to ask, but the emperor took the first step and said coldly, "Help the queen mother return to the palace!"

The queen mother was angry and anxious, she didn't want to leave at all, she promised to leave the old princess to do it, the emperor has never seen the queen mother so persistent.

He was feeling a headache, and then something that gave him a headache even more.

The Queen Mother fainted.

"Queen Mother!"

"Queen Mother, wake up! Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
