"Did you do it all alone?" Is there a mastermind behind it? Emperor Hui turned his face to Baoyu, who was kneeling on the ground, but his eyes glanced at Concubine Ru and asked coldly.

Baoyu raised his eyes to look at Emperor Hui, and then glanced around quickly.

The old god Hua Taishi was closing his eyes on the ground, as if what was in front of him was a farce, and he didn't care at all.

Concubine Ru didn't even look at herself, and she looked like she had a clear conscience.

The other grown-ups were pointing at themselves.

Baoyu thought of her father and mother who were far away in Cangzhou, and she couldn't say anything when she came to her mouth.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and said loudly: "The slave did it herself, there is no mastermind!" ”

"You and Concubine Hua have no grievances, why did you frame her for no reason?" Concubine Ru jumped up, pointed her finger at Baoyu's head, and shouted, "Say it quickly!" ”

Emperor Hui didn't speak, with a sneer on his face, and looked at Concubine Ru and Baoyu coldly.

"Last time the emperor came to Shizuka Palace, one of the two eunuchs who was killed with a rod was a slave and maid. He died because of Concubine Hua, and the slave maid was confused for a while, so he did it. After Baoyu finished speaking, he suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are loyal to you. As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, although this word was spread by slaves, but it is not necessarily a rumor, Your Majesty! ”

Concubine Ru knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, this cheap slave has gone crazy!" In this case, he still dares to talk nonsense and gossip about Sister Huafei! ”

Emperor Hui slowly stood up and said, "Enough! Now that the matter has come to light, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. ”

After speaking, Emperor Hui glanced around and said slowly:

"Baoyu framed the concubines in the palace, caused turmoil in the inner palace and the government and the opposition, pressed into the prison, and beheaded the public at noon tomorrow!"

"Xiao Shunzi wantonly spread rumors, and later had a meritorious service. The capital crime can be avoided, and the border will be distributed and the border will be held for ten years! ”

"If the concubine doesn't say anything, she will be grounded in Jingxiang Palace, and she will not leave without authorization, and she will be reduced to a concubine!"

"Master Wen has no way to teach his daughter, and he will be fined for one year, and he will think about it behind closed doors for three months, go to the position of Taishi, and live at home for a long time."

Emperor Hui said all the decisions in one breath.

"The emperor must not!" A group of ministers knelt down.

"Master Wen has worked hard and made great achievements, how can he be angry because of this?"

"Taishi Wen has done his best for the entire court, he can't do without the court, and the court can't do without him!"

"Master Wen is the mainstay, how can he leave lightly? Please think twice! ”

"The emperor thinks twice! The emperor thinks twice! ”

A cry of pleading came from below.

Emperor Hui's eyes were cold: I don't want Wen Taishi's henchmen to be entangled so much, if it weren't for the strength of the royalist faction that was hit hard eighteen years ago, how could he be so arrogant.

Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, a smile appeared on Taishi Wen's face, "Your Majesty, the old minister knows that he is old, and he wanted to take the initiative to resign, but he didn't want your colleagues to be so gracious, but it is indeed difficult to be gracious!" ”

Emperor Hui's face also showed a smile and said, "Master Ben Nian Wen has worked hard, let Master Taishi rest at home for a few days to avoid the limelight." I don't want you ministers to be so incomprehensible to my painstaking efforts, it seems that I have to work hard for a while! ”

Master Wen smiled and said, "This is the blessing of the old minister, how can you say bitterness?" However, the harem is not a good phenomenon, please be cautious, otherwise I am afraid that this kind of thing will happen again in the future! ”

Emperor Hui smiled: "The old lady reminded me very well, in the future, I will go to the concubines who have just entered the palace, it is true that the old man in the harem is too disagreeable now!" ”

The two of them talked with a smile, and the atmosphere in the court was warm again.

A trace of sadness flashed in Emperor Hui's eyes: I think about what a beautiful situation it was when General Hua was there, and I didn't dare to obey the order, and I was afraid that it would be rare to see such a scene in the future.

Wen Taishi looked at Emperor Hui's embarrassment, but he couldn't be happy in his heart: although he won the victory in the court, the harem was still suppressed by Emperor Hui, and his daughter's concubine position was demoted by one rank, and she would be even more competitive with Concubine Hua in the future.
