As for what to do with Concubine Meng, the emperor hasn't come up with any good ideas yet, but of course he must give her a proper punishment, so the emperor decided to ask the empress dowager and the empress what they meant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor went to Ciqing Palace and asked people to inform Empress Liu Yaoying and ask her to come to Ciqing Palace as well.

Not long after, the pot-bellied Liu Yaoying arrived, and the emperor immediately stepped forward to support her.

Although the two have been married for more than half a year, Liu Yaoying still has a girlish shyness in her eyes every time she looks at the emperor. How lucky she is to be able to marry a fateful and compatible person in this life, and become a queen.

Every time she looked at him, she couldn't help but think of the first time she met him on the street.

Since then, he has had her in his heart.

Since then, Yue Lao has secretly pulled the strings for them.

As the Emperor put his warm and powerful hands around her arm, she smiled sweetly at him and thanked him softly.

He will be a father in a few months, and he must be looking forward to the birth of this child as she did, right?" she thought to herself, feeling inexplicably happy again, and one hand unconsciously touched her bulging belly.

After helping her sit down, the emperor told her and the empress dowager about Concubine Meng and Sima Yu, and showed them the two letters written by Sima Yu.

"I have asked Sima Yu to enter the palace tomorrow to go through the formalities of Zhishi, as for Concubine Meng's side, I haven't come up with a proper way to deal with it, let's see if there are any good ideas?" the emperor said.

After reading the letter, the Queen Mother folded it and put it on the desk.

For some reason, these two letters reminded her of the incident between herself and Li Huai, and she felt her heart beat fast suddenly. If one day the emperor learned about her and Li Huai, he didn't know what to do. I also thought about how disappointed and overwhelmed the emperor and the people of Zhao would be if one day they were really discovered.

A woman who is so dignified, stable and noble among the subjects of Zhao Kingdom should have such a relationship with the prince's son, and everyone will not tolerate it.

The more she thought about it, the more flustered she felt, so she said: "In the final analysis, Sima Yu took the initiative to take the initiative in this matter, and Concubine Meng was moved over time to reply to him with a letter, which shows that she is also very restrained herself, and judging from Sima Yu's attitude towards the last letter, he is obviously hesitating and retreating, which shows that he also has the intention of reining in the precipice, since this is the case, we should give them a chance." He added: "It's too much to let Sima Yu Zhishi, and it will be safer to deal with the demotion, after all, he is still somewhat useful, besides, ......." She pondered for a moment before saying: "The cause of the death of the first emperor has not been found out." ”

As an important suspect in the death of the first emperor, Sima Yuruo is now a minister, and it will not be so easy for the imperial court to find him in the future, so it is best to let him continue to be an official.

The emperor said: "This person is too arrogant, if he doesn't deal with him like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to play a warning role, but the queen mother's analysis is also reasonable, and the sons will think about it again." ”

Then he glanced at Queen Liu Yaoying.

Empress Liu Yaoying hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the treatment of Sima Yu, the concubine is more in favor of demotion, and it is best to let him be a Beijing official, which not only plays a role in punishing him, but also gives him the opportunity to continue to serve the imperial court." As for which department to demote him to, it is up to His Majesty to decide. ”

After all, the emperor knows better which departments need people, and which departments are more suitable for people like Sima Yu to enter.

The emperor thought that it was right, so he smiled and nodded slightly.

The Queen Mother also smiled and bowed her head.

Liu Yaoying continued: "As for Concubine Meng's side, since this matter was not taken by her first, and the matter has not developed to an irreparable point, the concubine thinks that it is enough to deduct her one-year salary as a punishment. ”

As a concubine, Concubine Meng's annual income is about 1,800 taels, which is converted into nearly 7,000 catties of rice grain, and if this nearly 7,000 catties of grain is used in the disaster area, it can save many people.

Moreover, Concubine Meng is also one of the suspects in the death of the first emperor, and before the matter is clarified, it will obviously be more beneficial to keep her in the palace, especially to retain her identity.

The emperor also thought of this, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it." ”

The Empress Dowager asked, "Which department do you plan to demote Sima Yu to?"

A person like Sima Yu, who has made countless great contributions to the country, naturally has to find a convincing reason to demote him, otherwise it will cause protests from the ministers.

The emperor had already thought of the reason, so he replied: "Let's just say that he took the initiative to pursue a certain concubine in the harem, which has caused a great impact on the harem, and as for which concubine it is, in order to protect his face, I will not disclose it." ”

"Uh-huh. The Queen Mother nodded hurriedly, very satisfied with his reason.

The Emperor added, "He is very accomplished in the art of war, so I want to demote him to the army of soldiers." ”

In this way, he can still be sent to play in the next 'Ninety-Five Competition', and it can be regarded as a downgrade to him.

Both the Queen Mother and the Empress agreed.

So the emperor and empress got up and took their leave.

Not long after they left, Nan Jia came in and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, your letter." She took a letter out of her pocket.

The Queen Mother snapped back from her contemplation and reached out to take the letter.

It was Li Huai who wrote it.

Due to the influence of Sima Yu and Concubine Meng, the Empress Dowager, who had been looking forward to this letter, was a little hesitant at this time.

She looked at the words on the envelope, as if she had seen Li Huai's person.

Over the years, what kind of feelings he has for her, she has always known in her heart, the relationship between her and him is not as complicated as the relationship between Sima Yu and Concubine Meng, she and Li Huai both look at this relationship with a very pure heart.

Now, they have the closest relationship, and it is difficult to separate again, not to mention that she is unwilling to do so deep down.

However, if this goes on like this for a long time, there will be a danger of being discovered.

Although she longs for his caresses, she also cares about her reputation and status. She clutched the letter tightly and didn't open it for a long time.

Nanjia felt a little strange.

Obviously, the Queen Mother was still eagerly looking forward to this letter a few days ago, why now.......

Nan Jia reminded: "Queen Mother, don't you take it apart and take a look?"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses a little, let out a long sigh, and then opened the letter.

In the letter, Li Huai expressed his willingness to go quietly when she went to Qingbo Island for a vacation, and said that he would accompany her there for ten days.

The intimate scenes between her and him resurfaced in her mind, causing the blood in her whole body to circulate in an instant, and she wished to immediately throw herself into his arms.

How strong are his arms, how fiery are his eyes, and how gentle are the words he speaks when he is most emotional......

Thinking of all this, it was as if the whole person had been held in his arms, how could she refuse?

She decided to go on vacation to Kiyoba Island as originally planned, to go to her and his love appointment.

.........

Dear friends, the first watch is coming, and the second watch is about 20:00.
