Chapter 116: The End
When Qin Yue arrived in Beijing with the emperor, there was a battle of tongues in the early dynasty.
The call for the anti-Qin faction is getting louder and louder, and most of them are the Wenchen of the Qingliu faction, who are holding the fold of impeaching the Qin family, kneeling in the center of the main hall and kowtowing and pleading.
Most of the Qin Protectors were old generals and old subordinates who followed Qin Guogong to fight together, they were martial artists and were not good at words, where did they win these sharp-tongued Qingliu Wenchen?
The five-year-old little prince looked anxious, but he was at a loss. Even the Queen Mother, who was hanging the curtain on the side, felt pressure.
Duan Chen's eyebrows tightened, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Fortunately, Xiao Qian sent the dragon guards into the palace in advance to report, and the ministers stopped arguing and went to the palace gate to greet the emperor under the leadership of the queen mother and the crown prince.
The emperor returned to Beijing suddenly, and deliberately kept a low profile, so not many people knew the news of the emperor's return to Beijing. The people along the road looked at the carriage and pointed, thinking that the family members of the official eunuch had entered Beijing.
The group arrived at the palace along the way, and the prince hurriedly led the civil and military officials to salute. Then the queen and the concubines stepped forward to salute.
After the emperor saluted the queen mother, he waved his hand to let the hundred officials and the concubine be flat.
The crown prince had red eyes, stepped forward a few steps forward to hold his father's arm, and whispered about the big things that had happened in the past few days.
The emperor had already received the news on the way back to Beijing, and he was not surprised, and he had already thought of a countermeasure. He quickly glanced at the minister, and then called the names of a few confidant ministers, asking them to wait in the imperial study first, and the rest of them waited for the rest to wait for the return house.
At this time, the queen dragged Concubine Xiao Guifei forward and saluted the emperor again.
Xiao Guifei's eyes flickered. The eyes were full of painful and tangled expressions.
The emperor looked at her lightly, said a few words like "take care of the fetus", and sent her back to the palace first.
The queen didn't see the expected surprised expression of the emperor. A trace of fierceness flashed quickly in his eyes, and he smiled at the end: "The emperor must be tired after a long journey, right?" The concubine has already put the warm soup away, and the emperor is not as good as ......."
Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the emperor, "Didn't the queen forget, the Qin family is still waiting for me to save it!"
The queen was robbed of such a sentence by the emperor. His face couldn't help but blush, and he felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
She suddenly felt. The emperor's trip to Dayue Mountain seems to have changed a lot. I never spoke coldly to her before, but now I just returned to Beijing, and I slapped her in the face. Why, exactly?
The emperor looked at her with a sad look on her face. couldn't help but step forward and stroke the queen's back, slowing down her tone, "The matter is urgent, I have to deal with it first." I'm done to see you in Fengyi Palace, okay?"
The queen nodded hurriedly, bowed her head coquettishly and blamed herself: "The important affairs of the court are important, and the concubines are confused." The concubines looked forward to the emperor day and night, and the concubines saw the emperor at first glance. Overjoyed......"
The emperor sighed secretly, and his tone became softer. "These days—I've worked hard for you, Ah Li, and I'll be with you when I'm free!"
The queen said "um", smiled shyly, then saluted, turned gracefully, and led the concubines away.
The Queen Mother looked at this scene coldly, and her heart was full of anger. I've seen shameless, I've never seen such a shameless person, as soon as the emperor returned to Beijing, he came to offer his affection, and ruined her identity as the mother of the main palace in vain.
"The Queen Mother—" The emperor looked at the Queen Mother in embarrassment.
The Queen Mother coughed lightly before she said, "Go ahead, the Qin family's affairs have to be solved by you." ”
The emperor bowed slightly, turned around and strode to the imperial study after saluting.
In the imperial study, several ministers waited quietly. No one thought that the emperor would return to Beijing at this time, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts, I don't know what the emperor's attitude towards the Qin family's affairs was?
The emperor entered the imperial study and said straight to the point: "This trip to Dayue Mountain is my idea, and it has nothing to do with Qin Guogong. As for the collapse of the Dayue Mountain Altar, Lord He is still investigating thoroughly. I said that on the same day, if Providence blames me, I will issue an edict to blame myself, but if it is confirmed that it is man-made, then this person is too ill-intentioned, and I will not spare it when I find out!"
In a word, the Qin family was cleaned.
Several ministers couldn't help but gasp, no one expected the emperor to have this attitude.
One of the ministers argued: "But the Qin family, the Qin family has made a lot of mistakes over the years, and if you don't deal with it, it's not enough for the people to be angry!"
The emperor glanced at him coldly, "The people are angry, if my succession to the throne violates the will of heaven, it is not too late to talk about the mistakes of the Qin family!"
The tall man only felt a cold sweat on his back.
The emperor is too arbitrary, how can he joke about his big position? Although the Qin family is the emperor's Yue family, there is no need to protect it with such an iron heart!
The rest of the ministers of the Qin faction saw that Lord Gao was embarrassed by the emperor, and they didn't dare to say their thoughts lightly.
The Qin Protector faction was overjoyed, knowing that the emperor was going to protect the Qin family, and the hanging heart finally came back to fruition.
Duan Chen squinted at the emperor, and his resentment towards the emperor was reduced a lot.
Next, some major events of the court and politics were discussed. In the end, the emperor left the king of Yi County alone to have lunch together.
For this reason, the emperor specially instructed the imperial dining room to make Duan Chen's favorite poems and ginkgo biloba, flower blue osmanthus fish, red grilled shark's fin, Buddha jumping over the wall and drunken pork ribs.
Duan Chen didn't say anything in his mouth, but he was slightly moved in his heart. Thanks to him, he still remembers the dishes he likes to eat.
This is the first time after Shen Jin's death that the two have sat down together to eat calmly.
Both of them were silent.
After the meal, the emperor proposed to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, thinking that he also wanted to restore the former brotherhood with Duan Chen.
Duan Chen hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Ah Chen, whether you blame me or hate me. In short, in my heart, you will always be my good brother. Jin'er - she will always be the woman I love the most in my heart. Over the years, I have never forgotten her for a moment!"
It is rare for the emperor to have such a sincere time. Even in the face of Xiao Qian, he never said such a thing.
Duan Chen was silent for a while, and said, "I hope you don't forget your original intention, Jin'er has paid a lot for you." Speaking of which, this country also has her share of credit. When Jin'er was alive, she very much hoped that you would be a good emperor...... For her ambition, I will also help you well!"
"Thank you, Ah Chen. Don't worry, I won't live up to her expectations, and I will definitely live up to your good intentions!"
"Therefore, there can only be one result for the collapse of the altar of Mount Dayue. ”
The emperor did not speak, and his expression was very gloomy. He had already released such cruel words in public before, but he was not just talking. If this is the will of heaven, then he, the emperor, will not do it.
Duan Chen looked up at the sky and sighed: "Thinking about the beginning, we spent so much effort to send you to this position, but it is not a sentence of 'Providence is so' to retreat. Immediately, he looked at the emperor with burning eyes, "If Jin'er is still here, she will definitely not agree to your ending like this!" (To be continued......)
