Chapter 32: The Downtrodden Prince's Turnaround [32]
As soon as Empress Xiao's words came out, everyone present was surprised, Qiao's Mansion was so bold that it dared to use it to buy arms recently!
Everyone in the court knows that Empress Xiao's maternal family is powerful, and no one in the court has any objections to Empress Xiao's harem interference, so Empress Xiao's interference in politics has been acquiesced by the courtiers.
Emperor Jun Wei is not surprised.
After listening to what Empress Xiao said, Jun Wei suddenly got up and slapped the table with both hands, "Bold Qiao Zhongde!" Do you take me seriously? ”
Empress Xiao looked coldly at the confrontation between Jun Wei and Qiao Zhongde, she was just here to make up for the last time.
Now only the Qiao family has withdrawn from the four major families in Chang'an, and it will be the turn of the Qiao family next.
Even if Qiao Zhongde is arrested and killed, it is useless, because Qiao Zhongde's two sons are not in Chang'an, far away in the Qiao family's ruling area, even if Qiao Zhongde dies, the head of the Qiao family will change at most.
It is impossible to hit the Qiao family hard, and the plan for now is to clear the forces of the four great families in Chang'an one by one, and then discuss how to solve the thorny problem of the four great families.
Qiao Zhongde knew in his heart that the Qiao family's power in Chang'an had been completely dismantled, and he had already stopped holding out any hope in Chang'an, so he could only return to his ancestral land like other families as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, the criminal minister knows his mistake, and the criminal minister will resign and return to his hometown, and will not interfere in the political affairs of Beihan from now on."
Qiao Junzhu watched his father take the initiative to resign, a good move to retreat into advance, and after he resigned, history may be staged in advance, the four major families each set themselves up as kings, and Beihan was in danger.
After Jun Wei heard Qiao Zhongde's words, she was secretly happy in her heart, but there was no change on the surface.
"Okay, I agreed, from now on, the Qiao family is not allowed to be an official in Beihan, Qiao Aiqing, understand?"
Empress Xiao frowned and interrupted Emperor Jun Wei's words, "Your Majesty! Listen to the concubine. ”
"Oh? Is there anything the queen would like to say? ”
"Your Majesty, since Qiao Da Sima wants to resign and go home, in order to show his loyalty, the concubine thinks that Qiao Sima should leave Qiao's daughter-in-law and son-in-law in Chang'an to show Qiao's loyalty."
After Qiao Junzhu heard Queen Xiao's words, he was shocked, this Queen Xiao, is this going to detain them in Chang'an as protons? !
If this is the case, they are at risk of being monitored by the Beihan royal family in Chang'an, and at that time, if Qiao Zhongde establishes himself as king in the area ruled by the Qiao family, I am afraid that the lives of the sons of the Qiao family will be in danger!
This Queen Xiao is really a good chess game, worthy of being a female politician/guest who has been manipulating behind the scenes all the year round, but I didn't expect Queen Xiao to play this one.
Qiao Zhongde looked at Empress Xiao in surprise and glared at Empress Xiao angrily, "Queen Mother, since Taizu founded the country, there has never been a phenomenon of harem interference, even if there is, it is the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and the queen mother is going to repeat the mistakes of the past?" ”
Qiao Junzhu thought that there was nothing wrong with Qiao Zhongde's words, and Qiao Zhongde's words would undoubtedly give Qiao Junzhu a critical blow.
"The queen mother, three of the five daughters-in-law of the minister are married to the other three worlds, if they are rashly hostage, I am afraid it will not be good.
Empress Xiao couldn't hear that Qiao Zhongde was mocking her for being in trouble with the previous dynasty, and she despised Qiao Zhongde, the old fox, even more contempt, and even abandoned her unmarried son-in-law, and said lightly, "This palace is not the flow of disasters in the previous dynasty, what this palace wants to do is to serve Your Majesty, and serve the entire Beihan Jiangshan Sheji, anyone who dares to shake the Beihan Jiangshan Sheji, this palace will not spare it." ”
"According to the meaning of Qiao Da Sima's words, among the five sons-in-law, there are only two who meet the qualifications?" Empress Xiao didn't seem to expect them to marry so diligently, she didn't expect Qiao Zhongde to have this trick, it would be bad if she rashly offended the family.
"Okay queen, you can take Qiao Aiqing's daughter-in-law down first, and after I finish discussing with Qiao Aiqing, let Qiao Aiqing take her back to Qiao's mansion."
After Jun Wei finished speaking, Empress Xiao seemed to understand what Jun Wei's plan was and nodded.
"Yes, the concubine will take the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family away."
