Wiping the sweat from his forehead and adjusting his breathing, Xiao Fuzi said to Zhu Kaishan, who was kneeling outside the hall: "Zhu Shangshu, Your Majesty has just spoken, you can leave the palace!" ”

"No way!" Zhu Kaishan shook his head and said, "As long as Your Majesty doesn't let go of the officials of the household department, the old man will always kneel!" ”

"Oops!" Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi screamed miserably, "My Lord Shangshu, now that Lord Banzai is in the midst of his wrath, why do you bother?" ”

"Thank you Father-in-law Fu for your kindness, you can go by yourself first, don't worry about the old man!"

"Why is it a donkey again?" Seeing Zhu Kaishan's attitude, the school uniform sighed, and quietly instructed a little eunuch outside the hall: "Zhu Shangshu is old, give him that cloak to put on his body in a while, be careful that he is frozen!" ”

After speaking, Xiaofuzi went directly to the dormitory of Zhu Kaishan's daughter Concubine Zhu, and said to Concubine Zhu: "Niangniang, Zhu Shangshu has been kneeling outside the Chen'an Hall for more than an hour, no matter how the slave persuades, it doesn't work, why don't you persuade him?" ”

When Concubine Zhu heard this, how could she be calm? went straight out of the dormitory and went straight to the Chen'an Palace.

Seeing her father kneeling motionless outside the gate of Chen'an Hall from a distance, Concubine Zhu ran over quickly, knelt in front of Zhu Kaishan and persuaded: "Father, the emperor is angry, it is not too late for you to delay entering the palace for a few days to intercede, why bother?" ”

"Niangniang, this is the government!" Looking up at his daughter, Zhu Kaishan said righteously: "As a harem concubine, Niangniang is not allowed to interfere in the government, so let's go back to the palace as soon as possible!" ”

Concubine Zhu shook her head and said, "If you don't leave, father, your daughter won't leave either." ”

Saying that, Concubine Zhu knelt on the ground with Zhu Kaishan.

"Why do you bother?" Zhu Kaishan said with a wry smile, "One-third of the officials of the household department were imprisoned without evidence, and as the father is the secretary of the household department, he must give an explanation to the household department, which is the responsibility of the father."

But as the head of the first house, there is really no need for you to get involved.

In case it is guessed by others to dare to go to the government, I am afraid that the consequences will be serious, Niangniang, you should go back quickly! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Kaishan knelt deeply in front of his daughter Concubine Zhu and refused to look up.

Seeing this, Concubine Zhu smiled helplessly, and said to the little eunuch next to her: "Take care of Zhu Shangshu carefully, in case he has something to do, watch your heads!" ”

After finishing speaking, Concubine Zhu left Chen'an Hall and returned to her bedroom.

And Queen Wang, after knowing about this matter, frowned and thought deeply for a long time before she instructed the following: "Come here, prepare a sedan chair, and go to Chen'an Hall in this palace!" ”

"Mother, what are you?" Seeing this, the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Queen Wang smiled lightly: "This palace thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime good time, although the emperor is angry at the moment, but after all, he has no mind to Zhulian, otherwise Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household, will not be safe and sound at this time."

As long as this palace sincerely pleads with His Majesty, and if you want to come, Your Majesty will definitely let go of your father and brother in this palace.

On the contrary, if it drags on, maybe more and more ministers will be implicated, but it will not be good! ”

After speaking, Queen Wang simply packed up her appearance and went to Chen'an Palace.

When she came to the outside of the Chen'an Palace, she saw Zhu Kaishan kneeling outside the hall trembling a little, and Queen Wang directly instructed the little eunuch waiting outside the hall: "Go find Imperial Doctor Li to come over, and boil another pot of ginger soup for Zhu Shangshu to take!" ”

After speaking, Queen Wang knelt directly on the ground and shouted to the palace: "The concubine Wang has something to ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

In the palace, Zhang Lingyang was worried about Zhu Kaishan's disobedience, and when he heard that Queen Wang was coming, he said to the little Fuzi on the side: "Go and Queen Xuan come in!" ”

"Yes, long live the Lord!" Xiao Fuzi answered, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing that Queen Wang was also kneeling on the ground, Xiao Fuzi was stunned, and hurriedly ran to Queen Wang's side and said, "Queen Mother, why are you kneeling outside the palace?" ”

It stands to reason that whether it is the concubines of the harem or the ministers of the court, they should not kneel when they ask to see the Son of Heaven, let alone the queen and queen, the wife of the Son of Heaven.

So Xiaofuzi is very puzzled.

"This palace kneeling has its own truth!" Queen Wang raised her head and said to Xiao Fu, "Did the emperor ever say that the palace should be allowed to enter the palace?" ”

Xiao Fuzi nodded and said: "Long live the Lord has already opened his mouth to announce that the queen mother has entered the palace!" ”

Hearing this, Queen Wang got up and entered the Chen'an Palace.

Coming to Zhang Lingyang, Queen Wang knelt on the ground again and said, "The concubine is guilty, please punish the emperor!" ”

Zhang Lingyang frowned and said, "Empress, what's wrong with you today?" Good manners, why did you come to ask me for sin? ”

The queen buried her head deep in the ground and said, "The concubine is guilty of lax supervision!" ”

"The concubine heard a little about the affairs of the court, and the concubine didn't plan to interfere in government affairs, but she didn't want the concubine's mother to suddenly find the concubine and say that the concubine's father and brother were involved in the case.

Originally, the concubine still didn't believe it, but the concubine's mother personally told the concubine about the amount of money that the concubine's father and brother were greedy for, and she couldn't allow the concubine not to believe it.

The concubine is guilty of lax supervision of her family, please punish the emperor! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang took a deep look at the queen who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Since it was your father and brother who made a mistake, why didn't you see them come to ask for sin, but you, a woman from the deep palace, came?" ”

"Little Fuzi, I'm tired, send the queen back to the palace!"

"Yes, long live the Lord!" Xiao Fuzi answered, and said to the queen who was kneeling on the ground: "Queen mother, please!" ”

Queen Wang did not get up, but kept deducting her head to Zhang Lingyang, "The concubine is guilty, if you want to punish one of the concubines, please ask the emperor to be gracious and spare the concubine's father and brother!" ”

"Queen! You've passed! Originally, Zhang Lingyang was angry, but at this time, when he saw that Queen Wang was 'stubborn', he shouted angrily: "This is the government and politics, and it is a matter related to the lives of millions of people, not those intrigues in your harem!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Lingyang directly ordered someone to pull Queen Wang out of Chen'an Palace.

Queen Wang was pulled out of the Chen'an Palace, and the most surprised person was not others, but Zhu Kaishan, who was kneeling outside.

In Zhu Kaishan's opinion, the relationship between the emperor and the queen has always been very good, and the Son of Heaven also respects the queen, why did it suddenly change today?

Zhu Kaishan, who didn't know it, thought that the emperor and queen had quarreled over some trivial matter, and he didn't know that the queen's father and brother were involved in the corruption case.

After Queen Wang left, Zhang Lingyang became more and more angry, and said directly to Xiao Fuzi: "Xiao Fuzi, you go out of the palace now and tell Han Xiao, let him go directly to Suona Wang Guowei, Wang Sirui and his son!" ”

"Long live the Lord......" Xiao Fuzi said, "Please think twice, even if you don't think about the queen, you have to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
