Chapter 255: The Past Causes Turmoil (4)
It turned out that the Queen Mother was also forced to give the decree to Li Siyu out of desperation.
Li Siyu begged the Queen Mother for a long time, but the Queen Mother only said that she didn't care about it. So Li Siyu said that now that the queen is deposed, the rear position is vacant, and she is very interested in that position.
Now the Queen Mother can no longer be calm. She said that as long as Li Siyu promised her not to fight the idea of the throne, and to marry King Qi with peace of mind and be his princess of Qi, she would give her a decree.
So Li Siyu got the queen mother's decree.
The Empress Dowager wrote that the emperor had forgiven King Nan for what he had done before he died, and hoped that the emperor could exempt King Nan from punishment.
On the morning of the second day, Li Siyu took the queen mother's decree and went directly to the court.
Li Siyu's arrival surprised everyone in the court.
Jia Jungong frowned, "What are you doing here?" Is this the place you can come to? ”
Li Siyu saluted Jia Jungong slightly, and then knelt on the main hall.
King Qi frowned, he had already learned the truth of the matter from Sima Nan. He also guessed that Cao An's family was likely killed by the emperor. When he saw her coming to the court, he was very uneasy, for fear that she would do something earth-shattering.
King Qi walked to Li Siyu's side, "Xiaoyu, are you here to find me?" I'll talk about it later. He gave her the stairs down, hoping she wasn't too impulsive.
Li Siyu said: "The courtiers came to see the emperor on purpose. ”
The emperor sighed, "You're really getting more and more nonsense!" You have something to say, wait until I go to court. Let's go down first! ”
He didn't intend to prosecute her for trespassing in the court.
Several officials saw Li Siyu trespassing into the court and wanted to come out to accuse her, and asked the emperor to punish her.
Nangong Hao suddenly coughed twice, and the steps of several speech officials paused. They suddenly remembered that in addition to being the daughter of Duke Jia and the princess of Zhun Qi, Li Siyu was also Nangong Hao's sister-in-law. It's not a small backstage.
Moreover, it is said that she and the concubines in the palace are like sisters. This queen has just been deposed, and if the concubine has a son, it is very likely that the mother will become the queen with her son.
People with such a strong backstage should not be offended as well. So a few of the officials retreated. Only Lord Mo, the head of the official, stood up firmly.
He said: "Miss Li's trespassing in the court is a big crime, please ask the emperor to punish her to revitalize the court." ”
The emperor frowned, "It's not right to trespass into the court, but she has been giving birth to the concubine, maybe there is something urgent to report." He then looked at Li Siyu, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”
Li Siyu didn't have the slightest worry when she came in just now, it was obvious that she was not in a hurry, the reason why the emperor said this was obviously that the emperor was defending Li Siyu.
Master Mo moved his mouth, and finally decided to listen to her first.
Li Siyu said: "The courtiers are here to intercede for Sima Nan, the king of the south. Please ask the emperor to abolish the prison ban on the king of the south and give the king of the south freedom. ”
As soon as these words came out, the court was silent.
The emperor didn't expect her to intercede for Sima Nan, and he frowned. She obviously hated Sima Nan so much, why would she suddenly intercede for him? This is absolutely not normal.
The emperor thought of a certain possibility in his heart, and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, and his mind was instantly confused.
Master Mo was the first to react, he said: "King Nan committed the great crime of rebellion, and the first emperor has already treated him lightly, and you still plead for him?" ”
Li Siyu said: "The emperor has forgiven the king of the south before he died, and I have the queen mother's decree as proof." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and took out the Empress Dowager's decree.
The minister immediately knelt down.
Master Mo complained bitterly in his heart: You have the Empress Dowager's decree, why didn't you take it out earlier? You hold the Empress Dowager's decree, who dares to say that you trespass on the court?
Li Siyu read out the Empress Dowager's edict, and then handed it to Gonggong Zhang. He knelt down.
The emperor took the queen mother's decree and looked at it. The complexion is very ugly.
She even persuaded the Queen Mother. It seems that she helped Sima Nan not on a whim, but after careful consideration and careful planning.
Li Siyu said: "Since the first emperor no longer blames the king of the south, please also ask the emperor to let the king of the south free." ”
The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and his face was very ugly. Li Siyu can be regarded as coercing the emperor with the queen mother's holy decree. The emperor was openly coerced, and his mood must have been very bad.
The atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive, and the ministers all lowered their heads, and they all felt that it was difficult to breathe.
King Qi took a deep breath and knelt beside Li Siyu, and he said, "Please ask the emperor to pardon King Nan." ”
Jia Jun Gong saw that King Qi had come forward, and as the future father-in-law of King Nan, even for Jia Feng, he had to intercede for King Nan.
The emperor looked at Li Siyu seriously, "Why do you want to intercede for King Nan?" ”
He held his breath, eager to know the answer, but he was afraid to know.
Li Siyu raised his head to look at the emperor, and then said: "Because my sister has a marriage contract with King Nan, the courtiers hope that my sister can be happy, so I intercede for King Nan." ”
Is it for this reason? The emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It had only been a few moments, and his back was already soaked with sweat.
The emperor said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, so let's stop here today!" ”
The emperor naturally did not want to pardon the punishment of King Nan. For him, Sima Nan was his political enemy.
So the emperor had the intention of retiring from the dynasty. But Li Siyu chose to come to the court today, just to force the emperor to pardon Sima Nan in front of the courtiers. How could he let the emperor leave?
Li Siyu said: "Please ask the emperor to deal with this matter and follow the will of the Queen Mother and the last wish of the emperor to pardon the king of the south." ”
Obey the Queen Mother's decree? The Empress Dowager only said that she hoped that the emperor would pardon King Nan, but she did not say that she must pardon him.
Obey the last wish of the emperor? According to the meaning of the queen mother, the first emperor only said that he forgave King Nan, but did not say that he would pardon him.
The emperor's face was not very good-looking, but when he saw Li Siyu's stubborn eyes, he felt a little helpless in his heart.
He said, "Xiaoyu, you're making it difficult for me. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the court felt a little unusual, and listening to the emperor's tone, they didn't seem to be angry, but a little doting.
Everyone remembered the last time they interceded for Fang Yu, so many ministers knelt outside, the emperor was unmoved, Li Siyu went to the emperor, and it didn't take long for the emperor to let Fang Yu go.
Obviously, Li Siyu is different in the emperor's heart.
The emperor looked at Li Siyu and then at Jia Jungong and King Qi, and he said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
Originally, the crime of rebellion against King Nan was unforgivable, but the Queen Mother Yizhi said that the emperor had forgiven King Nan before he died.
What can they say?
Saying things against is obviously disrespectful to the former emperor and the queen mother; If you agree, the emperor is afraid that he will be unhappy. They are struggling.
At this time, Nangong Hao stood up, and he said: "Since the emperor said on his deathbed that he would not blame King Nan, the Queen Mother intends to pardon King Nan, and I also ask the emperor to follow the Queen Mother's will to pardon King Nan." ”
When Nangong Hao said this, several ministers also felt reasonable. Now the Queen Mother wants to pardon the King of the South, and they just have to go along with the Queen Mother's decree.
