Chapter 062: The Bottom Line

When Qin Su was analyzing the pros and cons of the battle with Huairou to Qin Shen, the little eunuch waiting outside the imperial study came in with his head hanging and passed the legend that the empress dowager wanted to see the regent.

Qin Su pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, the Empress Dowager came to find him in the imperial study, which was within his expectations.

Qin Shen was very unhappy, it didn't matter who bothered him, but this ambitious old woman made him hate it from the bottom of his heart.

"If you don't want to see you, go to the inner room, didn't she say that she only needs to see this king." Qin Su said indifferently, and he didn't care that there were other people present.

"Okay, I'll go and lie down for a while, I've been busy all morning, and I'm a little sleepy at this time." Qin Shen nodded, stood up, and walked inside.

Qin Su also put down the fold, dusted off his sleeves, raised his eyebrows and said, "Please come in with the Empress Dowager." ”

The little eunuch kept his head down, looking at his nose and nose, and lowering his sense of existence. After listening to Qin Su's instructions, he hurriedly bowed and retreated.

The Empress Dowager stood outside the door of the imperial study with suppressed anger, looking at the closed door, her face became even more gloomy. The palace maids and eunuchs behind him all hung their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that the empress dowager's anger would spread to themselves.

The little eunuch who went in to pass the word walked out of the imperial study quickly, bowed over to the side of the Empress Dowager, and his thin voice became a little hoarse because of fear of the Empress Dowager, "Back to the Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, please go in." ”

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and stepped into the door of the imperial study with her head proud.

In all fairness, the Empress Dowager is a very skillful person, if it weren't for always thinking about letting the Hu family replace the Qin family as the lord of the world, Qin Su would still be willing to coexist peacefully with her.

Stepping into the imperial study, the Empress Dowager sat directly opposite Qin Su. Neither of them meant to pretend to greet each other. The Empress Dowager had a gloomy face and shouted, "What does the prince want, it's better to explain it to the mourning family." ”

Qin Su was disdainful in his heart, although the Empress Dowager had lived in the deep palace for a long time. But her keen insight is really not simple.

"I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to explain to this king?" Qin Su asked with a smile, and pushed the question to the person opposite.

"You know what the mourners are talking about." The Empress Dowager gently stroked the already gray hair on her forehead, and the two golden armors on her right hand flashed with dazzling golden light.

"Today, you and I will just talk about it, and the province will hold it in my heart, and it will be uncomfortable. What the hell do you want. also said it clearly, as long as you don't touch the bottom line of the mourning family, it's up to you. The Empress Dowager sighed, as if she had compromised her playful child.

Qin Su paused, and the aura around him gradually became gloomy. But he still had a smile on his face.

Her bottom line? It's funny. said not to touch her bottom line, but she was challenging their Qin family's bottom line all the time!

"Forgive the king for being stupid, I don't know the bottom line of the queen mother, what is it talking about?" Qin Su squinted and asked.

"Ahem." The Empress Dowager covered the corners of her mouth and coughed lightly twice, sat up straight, and said slowly, "The mourning family knows that you and the Hou family have some misunderstandings. Usually a small fight, the mourning family doesn't care. But this time it's been a bit too much, how to say. Guangwen is also the prince of the Hou Mansion, and you stripped him of his official uniform in the court and sent him to the prison of the Criminal Department. After the Hu family said that he was also a hero, the prince did this, which was inevitably a little unkind. ”

Qin Su's hand under the table clenched for a moment, and his breath became terrifying. But in an instant, Qin Su had already put away his feelings. On the surface, it still looks noble and indifferent.

"I don't know how much the Queen Mother dares to assassinate the king. The person who also threatened to cut off the king's head, how to deal with it, is it close to people? Qin Su asked with a smile, looking like he was humbly asking for advice.

"The mourning family believes that this matter still needs to be carefully examined, and those people pointed out that Guangwen instigated it, but who knows if they deliberately framed it? This matter is widely implicated, and the prince's handling is too hasty. "The Empress Dowager obviously understands what happened, as long as she persuades Qin Su to postpone the trial again, and let her have enough time to arrange it, then Hu Guangwen can be regarded as saving his life.

"It is understandable that the Empress Dowager cares about Hu Shizi." Qin Su shook his head slightly, and said regretfully, "It's just that Hu Shizi has some other reasons besides assassinating this king." If it weren't for the king's quick decision to detain and jail first, I am afraid that Hu Shizi would have fallen to the ground at this time. ”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you talk to the Mourning Family, what is the matter, so that the prince has to think about Guangwen first?" ”

"I don't know if the Empress Dowager knows that at the beginning of the year, Yanzhou reported that 12 counties and 107 villages under Yanzhou had purchased a large amount of grain, which caused a famine in Yanzhou this year?" Qin Su changed his words and talked about state affairs.

"Isn't this matter settled? The governor of Yanzhou also investigated the whole matter. The Empress Dowager's heart jumped, Qin Su suddenly got involved in this matter, could it be that Hu Guangwen was still involved in this matter?

"The matter is settled, and the officials involved have dealt with it almost the same, but the most important one of them has not been sent down. Presumably, the Empress Dowager should be able to guess who this person is? Qin Su leaned back, with a slight smile in his words.

"The mourning family has not interfered in state affairs for many years, and the mourning family naturally does not know the inside story of these things." The Empress Dowager began to panic. If this matter is really related to the Hu family, then she is really powerless. How Hu Guangwen fights with Qin Su, it is all the grievances of the two, and she can keep him if she balances it. But if it is a matter of state affairs, with Qin Su's current means, pinching Hu Guangwen to death is like pinching an ant to death.

"This king explained to the Empress Dowager that the person who instructed Yanzhou to buy a large amount of grain at a low price was Hu Guangwen." Qin Su said lightly, "And it's not just about collecting grain, it's also about buying and selling people in private." According to Yanzhou's investigation, grain and people were transported to Jiaozhou. And the Jiaozhou border guards happened to be frequently mobilized at that time. "Qin Su said vaguely, the border guards in Jiaozhou are the 150,000 military horses in Hood's hands.

The Empress Dowager's face instantly turned pale.

If Hu Guangwen was really involved in this matter, then Hu De would definitely not be able to pick it out. If he is contaminated with the army, or if he acts in private, then Qin Su, who is a superior person, can really be killed. After all, the army is the greatest protection and strength of a country, and this world belongs to the Qin family, how can Qin Su let a person with a foreign surname lower his eyes and move his roots!

The 150,000 troops in Hu De's hands and the garrison army in Hu Guangwen's hands were all slowly mastered by nearly ten years when she was still in power. In addition to being used as a battle, it also means that it is for the opportunity to seize the throne in the future. She put this power in the hands of her mother's brother, also because she trusted him. After all, she has no children, if the world respects her in the future, then after a hundred years, the person who inherits her will be the Hu family.

But she really didn't expect that Hood and his son would hoard grain and grass behind her back, and also buy and sell people to enrich the army. This kind of blow can be compared to hearing that Qin Su had imprisoned Hu Guangwen and was going to come to Yan Zòng.

"But the prince has investigated clearly?" The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, trying to suppress the shock in her heart, and her voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

"This king doesn't dare to joke about this kind of big thing, he has been investigating for half a year, and this time he is not acting hastily." Qin Su said in a good time, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

The Empress Dowager was no longer in the mood to quarrel with Qin Su at this time, and her only relative was carrying her, which was no less than betraying her. This made the empress dowager, who has always been known for her ruthlessness, collapse in an instant. The face that used to be graceful and luxurious is now full of disbelief.

"I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants this king to do with Hu Guangwen?" Qin Su asked.

The Empress Dowager held the armrests on both sides of the Taishi chair, and the cyan blood vessels appeared more abrupt. Standing up, the Queen Mother said with a hint of loneliness, "The mourning family doesn't ask about political affairs, and the prince and the emperor don't have to talk to the mourning family in detail." ”

After walking a few steps, the Empress Dowager paused, "Although the Hu family made a mistake this time, the mourning family hopes that the prince can save some face for the Hu family." After all, the mourning family is also surnamed Hu. ”

Qin Su was still sitting idly behind the table, obviously a little dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager's words.

"The Empress Dowager is confused, you are going to enter the imperial mausoleum of the Qin family in a hundred years. Your surname should be crowned with the surname Qin, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will not forget it. ”

The Empress Dowager, who was walking out, was breathless, smiled bitterly in her heart, and did not refute Qin Su's words.

What the Empress Dowager talked about with Qin Su in the imperial study, no one knew except the person concerned and Qin Shen. However, what is worth pondering is that the Empress Dowager, who has always escorted the Hu family, did not come forward to say a word for Hu Guangwen this time. And Hu De, who is Hu Guangwen's biological father, also began to close his door on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Of course, that's all for later.

After the Empress Dowager left, Qin Shen walked out of the room. Sitting back on the dragon couch, he said worriedly, "Uncle, this matter is just told to the Empress Dowager, and there will be no disclosure?" ”

"Rest assured, even if there is a disclosure, it will not affect us. At the very least, the Hu family has nothing to say about how Hu Guangwen wants to deal with it. Qin Su put away the folds on the table, got up and walked in front of Qin Shen, patted him on the shoulder, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"I won't accompany you to lunch, Zimo and Yizhi are both in my house, I'll go back first."

Qin Shen nodded, grabbed Qin Su's sleeve and got up, and personally sent the person out of the imperial study.

Standing outside the door, Qin Su glanced at the little eunuch standing aside, turned back to Qin Shen and said, "Your Majesty, go in, it's windy outside, be careful not to be blown by the wind." The people around me are also beating and knocking, and some useless ones are also going to go as soon as possible. (To be continued).
