The Queen Mother waited until the two imperial doctors had retreated, then looked at Emperor Jiaping and asked him, "Emperor, what do you say?" ”

Emperor Jiaping's face was a little irritable, and after frowning slightly, he said again: "In the final analysis, in fact, this matter is just Tang Cheng's one-sided words, the British Duke is a meritorious minister, even the former emperor also believes in him, he has always won battles before, and now if I just listen to the words of one side and change the commander in front of the battle, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of those old ministers!" ”

This is true, after all, the British duke still has a very high prestige among the nobles.

In addition, the British Duke pacified Annan in the past, and his prestige was so famous that if he really didn't allow him to distinguish it, he would change the commander and then escort him back to Beijing for trial, which seemed a little unkind.

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Emperor Jiaping's attitude, she immediately saw it, gently put down the fan in her hand, and asked, "Then according to your meaning, you plan to settle this matter like this?" But now that the front-line eunuchs and the imperial histories of the army have been written, and there is a lot of uproar in the court, you always have to give an explanation to the ministers, right? It is also a fact that the front line has not achieved any results so far, even if it is not a change of commander before the battle, this matter cannot be lightly exposed, otherwise what should the people of the world think of you, the emperor? ”

That's a bit of a weight.

The weather was hot, and Empress Wei quietly glanced at Emperor Jiaping, worried that Emperor Jiaping would be angry again.

Emperor Jiaping didn't this time, he frowned coldly, and said softly: "Queen Mother, of course I know these truths, but then again, the British princess is a first-class prince, who has made countless contributions, and is the only remaining bloodline of the eldest princess now, if you don't ask clearly and understand and punish the crime, then how should the people in the world think of me?" ”

He brought out the eldest princess, and the queen mother didn't mean to continue, but just stared at her eyebrows and said, "In that case, what is the emperor going to do?" ”

Emperor Jiaping brought out the words that he had already thought about in his heart: "Since the Empress Dowager is suspicious that the front line is not in a good situation, I plan to send a Qin messenger to the front line to find out the facts, and issued an order to urge the British Duke to speed up the attack and put down the rebellion in Yunnan as soon as possible." ”

He looked up at the Queen Mother, his eyes were firm: "Queen Mother, Erchen knows that the matter in Yunnan has dragged on for too long, and when the British Duke returns to Beijing, he will naturally have to be re-examined. ”

Having said that, even if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied, she can't press her son's head and make him promise to change to the position of British general first.

She glanced deeply at Emperor Jiaping, and there was a little eunuch outside to report, saying that the British duchess had woken up and was kneeling outside the hall, waiting to ask for guilt.

Emperor Jiaping did not speak.

The Queen Mother sneered in her heart and raised her voice: "Please come in, since you are sick, how can you let people kneel outside?" ”

The sun is scorching, don't kneel for anything.

Mrs. Xu was much haggard, and the whole person looked like those old women in the countryside who were worried about food, and as soon as she entered the hall, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the queen mother and the emperor.

Emperor Jiaping opened his mouth and called people up.

Since the son has already made the master, the queen mother naturally knows that if the old lady Xu is too embarrassed at this time, it will be useless, and it will only increase the suspicion between the mother and son, so she said: "You are too shrewd, the recital of the court at this time is floating up like snowflakes, and the emperor is difficult to decide, you are good, come here at this time to kneel and plead, but what should the emperor do?" If you ignore those twists and turns, it will chill the hearts of those ministers, and if you do, it will seem that you don't care about the eldest princess's affection. ”

Old Mrs. Xu was even more frightened and frightened, and even her tone was low when she prostrate on the ground: "The courtiers are terrified!" The courtiers would never dare to have such a thought! Old lady, saint, our British Mansion has been brave and good at fighting since the beginning of Taizu, and it is full of allegiance! Guogong is even more loyal to the saint, how could he do something to betray the saint? This is clearly someone framed behind the scenes, old lady! It must be those thieves who saw that the Duke of the Kingdom had to be reused, so they deliberately attacked the Duke of the Kingdom and separated the relationship between the Holy Lord and the Duke of the Kingdom......"

Old Mrs. Xu was full of emotion, and Emperor Jiaping was not too harsh, glanced at the Queen Mother, and coughed lightly.

The Queen Mother sneered in her heart, squinted at the old lady Xu who was still crying, and didn't say anything more, just said: "Justice is not just what you say, the emperor is a good emperor, what is going on, he will naturally ask someone to investigate clearly, if everyone comes to cry with you like this, you have to say that you are innocent, so what's the use of those imperial historians?" What is the use of Dali Temple and Jinyiwei of the Criminal Department? Aren't all the three Fasi useless?! ”

Mrs. Xu was so blocked that she didn't dare to speak, and she knelt on the ground and her knees trembled.

After a long while, the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Okay, the mourning family suddenly heard that you fainted in this Qianqing Palace, and was startled, no matter what, your behavior is not advisable, in the future, this method is still used less, and the mourning family next to you will not say much, you can do it yourself!" ”

Mrs. Xu's face was red when she was reprimanded, of course she knew the meaning of the Queen Mother's words.

But now she doesn't care so much.

After all, only if the Duke of the Kingdom is fine, the British Government can be saved.

She knelt on the ground, and waited until the Queen Mother had already taken Empress Wei and Zhu Yuan away, then she looked deeply at Zhu Yuan's back and lowered her head again.

She was a dignified first-class duchess, but she was seen in such an unbearable scene in front of a county lord.

It really made her heart bleed.

Zhu Yuan!

Zhu Yuan!

Their British Mansion has fallen to this point and fallen into such a passive situation, all of which is caused by Zhu Yuan, if it weren't for Zhu Yuan......

Emperor Jiaping saw her kneeling on the ground trembling, frowned and asked Gonggong Xu to help her stand up, and finally said: "I have my own opinions on this matter, you don't have to worry about it anymore, just go back and take care of your body, I remember what you just said." ”

Mrs. Xu cried, bowed down and coughed and retreated.

Emperor Jiaping threw the fold in his hand to the ground, glanced at Gonggong Xu coldly, and asked him, "What do you say?" ”

Gonggong Xu has been serving in front of Emperor Jiaping all the year round, so he naturally knows Emperor Jiaping's intentions best, and when he saw Emperor Jiaping's meaning, he knew that he was angry, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Shengshang, although Tang Cheng is the godson of the slave, but the slave really doesn't know that he is actually going on this piece to frame the British ......."

Emperor Jiaping snorted coldly, raised his voice and said, "I forgive you for not knowing, go, call Wei Minzhai to me!" ”

He wanted Wei Minzhai to go to Yunnan to find out.
