The four words "guilty and meritorious service" made the emperor's heart move, but he immediately covered it up again, he looked at the two old ministers in the court who had the courage to intercede for King Jin and said: "I have my own measure, and the two Aiqing don't need to say much." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The two old ministers glanced at each other, and did not give up on admonishing. The emperor immediately raised his hand and signaled: "This matter does not need to be brought to the court again, if the two Aiqing have any thoughts on this matter, please hand it over." Retreat. ”

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and sent the emperor away.

Within a quarter of an hour, the matter reached Empress Jingzhuang, who immediately sent someone to invite the crown prince Zhao Yuliang to discuss countermeasures.

"King Jin has only been grounded for less than a year, and ministers have come out to speak for him, this matter is obviously related to the private Zhang Luo of the imperial concubine, Liang'er, if Your Majesty is really moved by these old ministers and reduces the grounding period of King Jin, what should we do?" Empress Jingzhuang asked worriedly.

Zhao Yuliang replied calmly: "Mother, please rest assured, the children's meeting will convene a meeting of the first assistant of the cabinet, the cabinet scholars, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the heads of the Hanlin Academy, and there will definitely be a way to stop this." ”

Empress Jingzhuang glanced at Zhao Yuliang uneasily, and said, "But you don't know Your Majesty's character, if he decides, it will be difficult to change it." ”

"Wasn't it Your Majesty who said that King Jin would be banned for three years? As long as we admonish it, Your Majesty will not beat himself in the mouth. Zhao Yuliang still said in a calm tone.

Queen Jingzhuang took Zhao Yuliang's hand and said, "You have worked hard in the past few years. ”

Zhao Yuliang said: "This is nothing. ”

As the crown prince, he has long been mentally prepared to endure hardships and be tormented.

Empress Jingzhuang's originally restless heart calmed down a little.

Zhao Yuliang asked about her health again, and she smiled and said, "My appetite and spirit are better than a few days ago, so Liang'er doesn't have to worry." ”

In fact, she fainted directly in the official room when she went to the official room just now, but she didn't want Zhao Yuliang to worry about it, so she didn't mention it.

Zhao Yuliang resigned because he still had important things to do.

The next morning, there were many ministers who came out to express their opposition to the early lifting of the ban on King Jin, and the words of these ministers were sincere and reasonable, so that the emperor could not refute them.

The two old ministers who came out yesterday to suggest that King Jin be lifted early did not dare to come out to refute this situation.

The emperor closed his eyes and pondered for a while before he said: "I have heard the opinions of all Aiqing, and I still say the same sentence - I have my own measure." Retreat. ”

After returning to the Yinghua Palace, the emperor sat alone for a long time.

Obviously, if he lifted the ban on King Jin early, it would inevitably cause fierce opposition from the ministers, and he might have to follow the original plan for the sake of the overall situation.

However, he was also reflecting on it in the past two days, asking himself if King Dingjin's three-year lockdown period was too long?

Is two years or a year and a half more appropriate?

But when he thought of King Jin's actions back then, he was angry again.

The young King Jin dared to send people to drive a wedge between him and the crown prince, if he didn't punish him severely, how could he convince the public? If he is not forbidden, how can he achieve the effect of punishment for three years?

Forget it, forget it, let's maintain the original disposal period.

The emperor rubbed his forehead and stood up.

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you going out?" ”

"Well, go for a walk in the garden." The emperor said that his feet had already stepped out of the door.

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly took the brocade guards and the palace maids to follow.

When the imperial concubine learned of the admonition of the ministers this morning, she was so angry that she couldn't even eat breakfast, and sat at the window in a sullen contemplation.

If King Jin can't come out early, Zhang Zhaoyi is very likely to get the emperor's favor in the next two years, and may even be pregnant with the emperor's child, what else can she do to turn things around?

In fact, she often feels that the general trend is gone, and all her hopes now are pinned on Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin. But Zhao Yuxun is now even restricted in his movements.

The imperial concubine suddenly had a deep sense of powerlessness against reality.

Zhang Zhaoyi is not reliable, which the imperial concubine had expected. It's just that she didn't expect Zhang Zhaoyi to be favored so quickly, and she didn't expect Zhang Zhaoyi to have so many means.

What now? The imperial concubine kept asking herself.

Her personal female officer, Qinglian, stepped forward and said, "Why did the imperial concubine forget the chips you were holding in your hand?" If you don't take it out at this time, when will you wait? ”

The imperial concubine woke up like a dream, and her eyes immediately had a look.

Yes, didn't she have evidence of a private meeting between Empress Jingzhuang and King Ling Zhao Teng?

The imperial concubine immediately said to Qinglian: "Give me makeup, I'm going to Kunyi Palace." ”

Qinglian hurriedly said, "Yes." Immediately dressed up the imperial concubine with his hands and feet.

Two quarters of an hour later, the imperial concubine in full costume came to Kunyi Palace.

Empress Jingzhuang had just had lunch and was preparing for a lunch break, and when she heard the news of the imperial concubine's arrival, she couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly said to Liu Ying: "You tell her that the palace is resting, let her come back another day." ”

Queen Jingzhuang has been in poor health recently, and she is not in the mood or spirit to see the imperial concubine, not to mention that she also expected the imperial concubine to find her.

Liu Ying immediately went out to resume her life according to Empress Jingzhuang's instructions.

The imperial concubine smiled coldly when she heard this: "You go back to the queen mother, just say that if she refuses to see me, don't blame me for telling His Majesty about it." ”

This man really leaves no room for words and deeds.

Liu Ying hurriedly went in to ask Empress Jingzhuang.

Empress Jingzhuang had no choice but to meet her with a strong spirit.

The imperial concubine went straight to the point and asked Empress Jingzhuang to ask the emperor to shorten the ban period of King Jin.

"At the beginning of next year, I must see King Jin who has been released, this shouldn't be a problem for the queen mother, right?" The imperial concubine asked with a smile.

Empress Jingzhuang was so angry that her heart hurt, and she said after a while: "Imperial concubine, you have to make inches." ”

The imperial concubine snorted coldly, walked up to Queen Jingzhuang and said, "Whatever you say, anyway, I only ask you one thing - will you help or not help with this favor?" ”

Empress Jingzhuang looked directly at her and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Okay." The imperial concubine slapped the table violently and said, "Then I'll go and tell Your Majesty about that matter now." ”

"You dare?" Empress Jingzhuang said sharply, and immediately motioned for the palace maids to come forward and surround her.

The imperial concubine said without changing her face: "I don't dare to do anything." Move. ”

None of the palace ladies dared to dodge.

The imperial concubine slammed away the two palace maids in front.

Just as she was about to step out of the room, three brocade guards came in from outside the room, and they drew their swords with a bang.

The imperial concubine didn't dare to make a mistake, so she obediently stayed in place.

Empress Jingzhuang's brain was struggling violently.

Do you help her or not?
