CHAPTER XXIII

In the Qianqing Palace, Shen Xuanxin sat on the dragon chair, and a group of ministers stood below. Li Dezhong shouted: There is a book to play and no book to retreat.

It's like this every day, and if you have something, you will report it to the emperor in person in the main hall, or write it on the fold and present it to the emperor. Shen Xuanxin will also tell his decision when he goes to the court after reading the excerpt, and sometimes he will listen to everyone's suggestions.

There were no ministers in the hall who said that there was something important to report, so Li Dezhong took a plate, and the ministers who had folds put the folds into the plates one by one, and then retreated.

Shen Xuanxin returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Li Dezhong put the fold on his imperial case. These excerpts are all large and small things presented by the ministers, not only the excerpts of the ministers in Beijing, but also the excerpts of local ministers.

The local ministers could not go to the court because they were too far away, so their folds were presented one by one, and finally to Shangjing, and then passed to the emperor by the eunuchs.

Shen Xuanxin's imperial case is another big stack of folds, and he has to read and review every time. Shen Xuanxin sat for several hours from the hour to the afternoon. Several of these excerpts expose Zhao Feng and Lord Zhao for corruption and favoritism.

Shen Xuanxin was on guard against Zhao Feng from the first time he saw a five-grade minister write an excerpt to Zhao Feng. Shen Xuanxin is different from others, in addition to having the Royal Forest Army, he has also privately cultivated a group of secret guards, and these people are all people with strong martial arts.

A month ago, he sent the shadow to investigate Zhao Feng and secretly collect evidence, and it is estimated that he will be back in the next two days. Shen Xuanxin threw the fold on the imperial case: "Drive Kunning Palace."

Seeing that the emperor's face is not very good, it is noon, does the emperor go to Kunning Palace for lunch.

The queen came out of the main hall with joy on her face to greet her: "The concubine greets the emperor."

"Hmm."

"The emperor hasn't had lunch yet, has he? Su Yun quickly asked the small kitchen to add a few more dishes that the emperor loved to eat. ”

Shen Xuanxin looked at the dishes on the table, he didn't advocate extravagance and waste, and the queen's palace was all simple objects, as for the meal, there were only four dishes and one soup a day. The queen has done a good job in this regard, and she has worked hard to manage the harem over the years.

Shen Xuanxin took the queen's hand and sat down: "It's good that you don't need to add these."

As Shen Xuanxin's wife, the queen is very good to him, and she hands chopsticks and serves soup. Shen Xuanxin looked at the queen's side face and thought: As Zhao Feng's daughter, she doesn't know if she knows what Zhao Feng is doing outside, and if she knows about the queen's temperament, she should be able to take care of it.

Shen Xuanxin originally wanted to mention the excerpt to test the queen's reaction, but in the end he didn't mention it, knowing what her reaction could be, the Zhao family still had to get rid of it.

Always had lunch, and Shen Xuanxin didn't stay to take an afternoon nap.

"Rest in mind, I should go back too."

The queen reluctantly sent Shen Xuanxin to the gate of the palace, and watched his figure disappear before turning back. He was able to come over and dine with her, and she was very satisfied.

Shen Xuanxin didn't go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but turned around and went to Xue Xuan, he hadn't seen the little goblin for a few days, he missed her a little and wanted to see her.

When he went, there were only two palace people in the courtyard of Xue Xuan pruning potted plants, and the palace people wanted to report but were stopped by Shen Xuanxin. He stood and heard the conversation of the master and servant inside:

"Do you want to take a nap, master?"

Cui Jinxi leaned on the soft couch and shook his head, how could he sleep just after eating.

"Does the master's sad face mean that he wants the emperor?"

"You girl still dare to make fun of your master."

Listening to Xueyue, the more out of tune he became: "Master, don't be embarrassed to admit it, your face is red."

Where does she miss Shen Xuanxin, she misses Aunt Liu. Blushing, can you not blush after just drinking hot soup.

The little goblin missed him, Shen Xuanxin felt a little proud in his heart, it seemed that he had come to the right place. He strode in, and the first to spot him was Tingxue. Hearing that Xue opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, she saw Shen Xuanxin make a gesture, meaning to let her out.

Hearing Xue went out without saying a word, Cui Jinxi heard footsteps and thought it was An Chun coming in. She slumped on the soft couch and lazily said, "Is it An Chun, come and pinch my shoulder."

Shen Xuanxin walked over slowly, Cui Jinxi was facing away from him, and she couldn't see him. He reached out and pressed it on Cui Jinxi's shoulder.

Cui Jinxi just thought it was An Chun, but now he felt that it was not An Chun, and An Chun's hand strength was not so strong. There was no one else who could pinch her shoulders except Shen Xuanxin, so she came to tease him with bad intentions.

"Anchun, what should I do if my back is sore?"

Shen Xuanxin smiled evilly: "What do you think Concubine Ai should do?"

Cui Jin pretended to be startled and sat up from the soft couch: "Your Majesty, why are you here, just now the concubine thought it was An Chun who ......"

Shen Xuanxin stretched his hand to Cui Jinxi's waist, and Cui Jinxi shrank back: "What are you going to do, Your Majesty?"

"Aifei doesn't mean backache."

Cui Jinxi just wanted to tease him just now, but she didn't expect him to really pinch her waist, she was not blessed to enjoy the horse killing chicken brought by Shen Xuanxin.

"The concubine doesn't dare."

"Since the concubine's waist is not sore, then ......"

The next scene is to go with the flow, everyone understands what a man and a woman can do. It's just that Shen Xuanxin didn't rest in the queen's palace during this nap time, but he came to her and pulled her to do some indescribable things. It seems that Shen Xuanxin also misses her, otherwise how could he come here at noon.

A good nap passed like this, and Shen Xuanxin lay down for a while after exercising and left. Cui Jinxi lay on the bed and slept in the dark, and when he woke up, it was almost dark.

……

In the Palace of Heart Cultivation, a man in ordinary clothes stood next to the imperial case, he was tall and tall, and his face was also respectful: "The subordinates have already checked all the evidence of Zhao Feng's crimes."

"After a month of running around, go back and have a good rest, I will contact you if you have something."

"The subordinates retired."

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the dark guard called Shadow jumped out of the window, he was agile and fast, and it was difficult for anyone to detect him. He is also Shen Xuanxin's most powerful secret guard.

……

The surface of the court is calm, but in fact, a bloody storm will soon blow. Shen Xuanxin didn't change at all in the court, and when everyone handed over the fold to retreat from the court, he suddenly asked the Imperial Forest Army to arrest Zhao Feng and his son Zhao Lin and put them in prison.

This undoubtedly caught Zhao Feng off guard, and everyone didn't expect it, but they didn't expect Shen Xuanxin to make a sudden move.

The news soon spread to the harem, and the queen fainted in front of her eyes when she heard the news. After she woke up, she went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to ask to see the emperor, and Shen Xuanxin was very happy and did not see her.

After the queen entered, she knelt on the ground, Shen Xuanxin didn't say anything, and threw a stack of ginseng and his father's folds in front of the queen: "The queen has a look."

The queen knelt on the ground tremblingly and picked up the folds, the more she looked at her face, the more ugly she became, and after reading all the folds, she said: "Concubine Xie Emperor Longen."

The queen slowly got up from the ground, and she understood that the emperor was kind enough to the Zhao family if he didn't raid the house. So she didn't say anything to plead, and she wanted to keep the last bit of dignity for herself.

Just when the queen was about to walk to the door, Shen Xuanxin said: "The Zhao family is the Zhao family, and the queen is still the queen."

Shen Xuanxin said very clearly, he would not condemn the queen because she was also surnamed Zhao, and the queen would still be her queen.

The women of the harem are waiting to see the queen's jokes, her maiden family has fallen, and there is no one to support her.

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Shen Xuanxin sat on the dragon chair and listened to the ministers below discuss that the queen should be abolished: "Aiqing is finished, and when she finishes speaking, it is time for me to say it." The Zhao family is the queen of the Zhao family, and Aiqing has nothing to do, why do you care so much about my family affairs. ”

Yes, the emperor was angry, and the ministers didn't dare to speak anymore. The matter of abolishing the queen came to an end, and after all, it did not fulfill the wishes of some people in the harem.

"There is news from Niangniang Qianqing Palace."

Concubine Xian knelt in front of the Buddha statue in the Fanhua Hall with her eyes closed: "What do you say?"

"The emperor said that the queen is still the queen."

Concubine Xian opened her eyes and stood up with the support of Momiji, but she didn't get her wish after all. Her father's official position is not too high, and for her business, he also contacted several ministers with an old face and handed over an excerpt to ask the emperor to abolish the queen, but he also failed.

Which woman in the harem doesn't want to rise step by step, and which one doesn't want to benefit her children. Knowing that Zhao Feng and Zhao Lin were imprisoned, she thought that it was time for her to emerge, heh, who can think that the world is impermanent.

On the fifth day of Zhao Feng's imprisonment, Shen Xuanxin ordered Zhao Feng's father and son to be executed, and the palace door on the queen's side was closed and asked if she didn't know what the situation was.
