"What if the mourners don't agree?" Dai leaned sideways, squinting at Shi Wang, with an attitude and a very arrogant expression.

Shi Wang's heart was stumped, he returned to the stage, and knelt on the ground: "If the Queen Mother refuses, you can announce the deliberations of the ministers, spread out the matter, and see what the ministers think." If the majority disagrees, ask the Queen Mother to withdraw the death order at that time. ”

"The mourning family is the king, do you still have to listen to the opinions of the courtiers before you can give orders?"

It seems that Empress Dai is still unwilling to take back the order.

Shi Wang gritted his teeth, arched his hands, and said: "If the Queen Mother refuses to withdraw the death order at that time, it proves that the Queen Mother has no way to govern." Please ask the Queen Mother to resign from government affairs and recuperate in the harem! ”

Not only was Empress Dai surprised when she heard this, but even Wen Yan, who was kneeling beside her, was startled.

"This, this, this...... Princess, this ......"

Before he could say anything about "this", Empress Dai was threatening.

"Bold, the position of the mourning family is given by the first king, how can you give up and resign like this! Someone came, Princess Yuan Ping spoke falsely, pulled her down, and handed her over to the punishment department for conviction! ”

The attendants in the palace had never seen such serious remarks, and they were frightened for a while, and they didn't know what to do, and they were yelled at by the queen before they came to their senses, no matter how they made trouble, they were now listening to the queen mother, so they pulled Shi Wang and dragged him out.

"I'll see which of you dares to touch me!" Shi Wang scolded sharply, causing the two attendants to take a step back.

Shi Wang stared at Empress Dai, and said loudly: "For the sake of the government, everything should be for the sake of the country, knowing that it is impossible to do it, how can you obey the heart of the courtiers and accept the love of the people, how can you cure this son to attack the country and win the admiration of all ethnic groups, and how can you settle the good of this mountain and river, so that all living beings can benefit!" If the Queen Mother is unable to govern, please retreat into the background and don't cause more trouble! ”

Qiang Qiang said a word, and Empress Dai was speechless, and it took a long time to squeeze out the word "presumptuous" from between her teeth.

When the hall was silent, another person came in outside, it was Huang Mengcheng, who was following Shi Wang and Wen Yan and coming back with small steps.

"Queen Mother, what you let your ministers do ......"

Halfway through his words, he saw the scene of Shi Wang and Wen gradually kneeling on the ground, and the atmosphere that dropped to freezing point.

Empress Dai glanced at him, and Huang Mengcheng closed his mouth in amusement and stood aside without speaking.

"Please ask the Queen Mother to withdraw the death order and release General Qin safely for the time being!" Shi Wang shouted again.

At this time, Empress Dai thought that Huang Mengcheng had done the matter, and the anger in her heart disappeared a little, snorted, sat back in her position, and began to ignore Shi Wang's words.

If it's a foregone conclusion, they will naturally make trouble.

"Queen Mother!" Shi Wang saw that her expression had faded, and he shouted even more anxiously.

"Queen Mother, a group of ministers came from outside the palace, saying that they came to ask to see Niangniang." A palace man came in at this time to report.

"Let's just say that the mourning family is not empty, and we will talk about it tomorrow morning."

"But those ministers over there are the ones who want to go to the early dynasty." The palace man replied helplessly, "Do you still refuse according to this?" ”

"All here?" Empress Dai was surprised.

After the palace people nodded, Empress Dai had no choice but to signal for them to come in first.

Even if they knew what she had done, it was a foregone conclusion, and they could make trouble as much as they wanted.

It didn't take long for the hall to be full of ministers, all of whom were high-ranking and powerful.

It's just that their expressions seem to be a little dazed, a little overwhelmed, and even a little tired and sleepy.

"What is the matter with all of you entering the palace at this time?" Empress Dai asked.

The ministers looked at each other and wondered why.

"Back to Niangniang, I received a message from the palace, saying that there was something important to discuss, so I came to the palace. I don't know what happened to the mother? ”

"Hui Niangniang, so is the minister."

"So is the minister."

……

Empress Dai was puzzled: "The mourning family didn't call you here." ”

Just when everyone was puzzled, Shi Wang stood up and said, "It was the palace that sent someone to invite you to come." ”

The ministers were even more puzzled, and Empress Dai faintly knew her intentions.

After Shi Wang knew what Wen gradually told, he told Lu Ying before going out that if she didn't come back within half an hour, he would invite all the adults into the palace to discuss matters, whether it was coaxing, cheating, or coercing, let them go and ask Empress Dai to see her.

That's why we're in the situation we are in now.

There was an anxious atmosphere in the hall, and they all wondered what the princess meant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to Yuan Ping's words."

Shi Wang calmed the mood of the adults, and informed Empress Dai of the letters of intercession for Lord Qin in various countries, and her abuse of power to deal with Lord Qin one by one.

There was an uproar in the hall.

"Is there any evidence for this?" One of the ministers asked.

Shi Wang thought for a moment, nodded, and summoned a maid to the temple, and came to the temple with her the shredded note in her hand.

As soon as Empress Dai saw it, she knew what it was, it was a letter from the nations that she had torn up with her own hands!

I didn't expect Shi Wang to have such a means!

Empress Dai glanced at her hatefully.

The courtiers unfolded the fragments and saw several small pieces stamped with the state seal.

Indeed, he is a close confidant of the kings of various ethnic countries!

The courtiers passed the fragments to confirm their authenticity.

What used to be a situation where the courtiers had different objections has now become a situation where they are unanimously opposed to this move.

"That's how good it is. Even if you don't agree to the plea, you can't hide and tear up the letter, which will provoke the two countries! ”

"Although this Qin general is not coming in the right way, in the end, he is also the representative of all ethnic groups in the sub-attack, if he has something, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the sub-attack in the future!"

"The Queen Mother and General Qin have an enmity, but how can they condemn him to death in such vain. Niang Niang shouldn't be so willful. ”

……

The criticism of Empress Dai in the hall became heavier and heavier.

"The ministers are more consistent in their proposal on this, and they also ask Empress Dai to exempt General Qin from the death penalty first, and after explaining to the kings of the clans, it is okay to convict."

Shi Wang summed up everyone's statements and persuaded Dai to say.

Dai sat upright at the back end, sitting upright, and there was a sense of stiffness.

Although she pretended to be calm, the current oppression was not false, she had sat in this position for many years, and how many times she had faced the doubts and opposition of the minister, but never had it been as serious as it is now.

It seems that the whole world is against her, and she is the only one who still insists.

She suppressed the trembling in her throat, showed a hint of a smile, and said to everyone: "What you said makes sense, and the mourning family also wants to rewrite a will." It's a pity, General Qin is dead, even if the mourning family regrets it now, it's useless. ”

The hall was quiet again, and it was a dead silence that was even quieter than just now.

"What do you say, 'What is the matter now?' Empress Dai asked everyone with a smile, and what she saw was the surprise and anxiety on their faces.

"Niangniang," Huang Mengcheng's voice came out of the crowd at an inopportune time, "the minister hasn't had time to say yet, then General Qin is not dead yet." ”
