Chapter 419: The Lin Dynasty Calls the Empress Dowager Lu (11)
Qiao Mu didn't save any face for Emperor Hui Liu Ying this time, and told all the information she learned very directly, and the ministers were silent for a while.
The emperor can ignore the child.
It's okay to leave the child alone.
In any case, everyone can use the emperor's busy affairs to prevaricate and cover up his unkindness.
But the child fell to death.
No matter how shameless they are, they can't prevaricate and cover up with reasons such as busy affairs.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is still young, it may be that he listened to treacherous and rebellious rumors for a while, so he made such a move, and this matter is still not suitable for publicity, otherwise it will still lose the face of my Han royal family, or the majesty of my Han Dynasty, which will inevitably cause an uproar among the people.
I also hope that the Queen Mother will take care of the overall situation.
Let's cover it up for now! ”
Although Xiao He knows very well that what he is saying now is very bad, it is very inconsistent with his three views, and even if it spreads, it will definitely tarnish his reputation for a lifetime, even if he is demoted to a traitor by the historian.
However, he had to say!
The Han Dynasty has just stabilized not long now, and many places have not even completely calmed down, and there are foreign races such as the Xiongnu who covet it outside, and once there is turmoil in the court, it will definitely trigger a chain reaction.
Moreover, the emperor's killing of his son is undoubtedly a mediocre and violent act, how can the people of the world not be afraid, if an emperor can even kill his own children, then what vicious thing can he not do?
Then the kings may all rebel.
"What about the grandchildren of the mourning family?
If you are going to suffer like this in the first few days of your birth, is it possible that nothing has happened? ”
Qiao Mu's eyes narrowed and asked in a cold voice.
Those who are familiar with it know that this is a sign that she is angry, and it is obviously extremely angry.
Although Xiao He was also a little worried, for the sake of responsibility and the people, he could only continue:
"The Queen Mother, the death of the prince and the princess is indeed a sad thing, but the world is more important.
And to put it mildly, the deaths and injuries of the descendants of the common people are unknown, and those who have not been crowned as adults are said to have died young, and they do not enter the ancestral grave, and the importance of His Majesty's reputation is far greater than that of the prince and the princess.
How can you ignore the Jiangshan Society and the dignity of the Han Dynasty for this matter, as long as you take more care of Your Majesty in the future.
I think Your Majesty should also know his mistake.
I hope the Queen Mother will think twice. ”
Many times, only young people will distinguish between right and wrong, adults will only distinguish between pros and cons, young people may want to do this when they encounter things, it is right to do this, it is wrong to do this, but when adults encounter things, they will only think, is my choice more pros than cons, or do the disadvantages outweigh the pros?
Xiao He thinks about the problem at the national level.
Naturally, it is impossible to consider only personal gains and losses.
It is even more impossible to ignore the safety of the country for the sake of two children who can't speak.
Jiangshan Sheji is righteousness.
Personal life and death are only small meanings.
Sacrificing small righteousness for greater righteousness is an absolute political correctness and a deliberate consideration.
"I hope the Queen Mother will think twice!"
"I hope the Queen Mother will think twice!"
"I hope the Queen Mother will think twice!"
"I hope the Queen Mother will think twice!"
……
At this time, many well-thought-out princely ministers on the side finally reacted.
echoed Xiao He.
Not to mention that the two children who died were only two of the more than a hundred children, that is, the two children who died, the only two children of Emperor Hui, they should also make this choice.
Even though many of these people are Legalist figures, when faced with the fact that the person who violates the law is the emperor, they still hesitate, and still feel that some things are more important than the law.
Although Qiao Mu wanted to be more willful, but after calming down and thinking about it for a while, she knew that Xiao He's choice was right, if this matter was leaked out so truthfully, then it would inevitably cause a national-level earthquake, and when there was a little turmoil, the number of people who would die would definitely be far more than two children, and the families involved would inevitably be counted in thousands and thousands, and it would be difficult to count.
A lot of things affect the whole body.
It's not something you can do if you want to.
Even if Qiao Mu wanted to punish him.
That can only be punished privately at best.
It must not be brought to the surface.
It's like some people can only die violently.
That's how politics trades off.
"The news can be hidden.
But things can't go unchecked.
My grandchildren can't die in vain.
Xiao Xiang, the affairs of the court will be entrusted to you for the time being, I bother you to act for half a month first, and then the mourning family will thoroughly investigate the palace in the next half a month, and all the people involved in this matter cannot be let go, and they must get to the bottom of it, even if he goes crazy, he can't go crazy for no reason, there must be a reason.
I called you here mainly for this purpose, so that you would not think that I had imprisoned the emperor and wanted to do something else.
Alright, you all go back first.
I will watch the people in the palace, if the news leaks out of the palace, I will bear all the responsibility, if the news leaks out from outside the palace, you will not be able to get out of it at that time, and you will keep your mouth shut for me when you go back. ”
When Qiao Mu knew that the person who did it was Liu Ying, he knew that it would be difficult for this matter to be revealed to the world, and it was estimated that it would be a secret at that time.
Even if it is recorded, it will only be recorded in the wild history, and it will never be written into the official history.
However, she does not intend to give up on pursuing it.
Because this matter is obviously beyond her grasp, it can be regarded as an accident, but this accident means that some situations are out of her original expectations, and they are also out of the original annals, if they can't be thoroughly investigated, Qiao Mu will be uneasy.
Therefore, it must be thoroughly investigated.
A thorough investigation that doesn't give up even the slightest clue.
"No, Queen Mother!
I also hope that the Queen Mother's subordinates will be merciful, Your Majesty is the king of a country in the end, and the dragon body cannot be damaged.
I'll retire first! ”
Xiao He knew very well that this should be the last concession of the Empress Dowager Lu, so he didn't dare to take an inch again, asking for more, and after persuading his subordinates to show mercy, he led all the princes to retreat.
The next half month was stark.
That is, they must stabilize everything in the court, and the queen mother will temporarily press the emperor to thoroughly investigate the harem, and no matter what happens, they may not be able to intervene.
When everyone left, Qiao Mu immediately signaled to all the people around him to retreat, leaving only two cronies to hold Liu Ying for the time being, and then lit a requiem incense and began to hypnotize Liu Ying, so that through his memory, the core information could be obtained directly.
Originally, hypnosis was a very laborious task.
But Qiao Mu had Requiem Xiang to help, and secondly, Liu Ying's own will was not very good, and he was easily hypnotized, so in less than half an hour, Qiao Mu successfully let him enter a deep sleep state while also having a certain reaction.
After that, he dismissed his cronies and asked questions.
Ask him about his recent experiences.
Ask him why he wanted to go to the Myeongkojeon.
Why drop the child.
