Shaving, combing hair, tidying the corners of the robe.

He made himself look meticulous, then straightened his official hat and saw that it was already dark outside. Although Su Youyi has returned to the palace, there is still an endless stream of people who flock to Su Mansion to worship the noble people.

Su Qingdao said: "Prepare the sedan chair, I will leave through the back door." ”

In Li Fuzhong, Ji Yushen changed into a plain robe and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Li Ziyue hurriedly said, "Husband, it's time for dinner, where are you going at this time?" ”

Ji Yushen smiled, "I'll go to Sufu to worship the noble people." ”

Li Ziyue sighed, as if she didn't understand why Ji Yushen wanted to go to Sufu to worship at this time.

Ji Yushen explained: "This is also what my father-in-law meant. I worked with Master Su in front of the emperor and was the emperor's most trusted right-hand man. In the future, Lord Su's achievements are expected to be extraordinary, and my father-in-law's age is about to die, and if I succeed Shoufu at that time, I won't be able to control everything as my father-in-law. Just in case, it is better to make friends with these new ministers valued by the emperor now. ”

Li Ziyue laughed when she heard this, "That's right, you should go to worship." I heard that today's concubine Niangniang's Feng Jia also went out of the palace to save her relatives, and the ministers of the court and the central government all went to Su Mansion, even the Marquis of Weiyuan, and it is really inappropriate for no one in our family to go. ”

Li Ge is old and the position of the first assistant, so naturally he can't go in person, Ji Yushen can make friends with Su Qing when he goes, and it will also help him in the court in the future.

Ji Yushen nodded lightly, "I'll go." ”

Li Ziyue leaned against the door and watched his back for a long time, until he walked far away, Jing'er stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, have dinner?" ”

Li Ziyue nodded, stunned.

Ji Yushen's carriage left the Li Mansion, but when it passed by the Su Mansion, it did not enter, but continued to go outside the city.

When he arrived at the tavern outside the city, it was already completely dark, and a dim red light hung outside the tavern, and Su Qing had been waiting for a long time in the private room on the second floor.

Seeing Ji Yushen coming, Su Qing hurriedly got up, "You're finally here." ”

"Lord Su suddenly asked to meet, and he was in a hurry, so he made the adults wait for a long time."

Ji Yushen said, not polite to him, and sat down at the table first.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Su Qing was still as thin as before, but his face was not as haggard as before. Although a pair of eyes are stellar, they are radiant.

Looking at the cyan brocade robe on his body, embroidered with silver moire, it can be said that he is dressed very solemnly, and he guessed Su Qing's intention.

He raised his hand and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Su Qing.

"The matter of the noble people, I was not able to worship in person in Sufu, and I am very sorry in my heart."

Su Qing waved his hand, "Ji Ge Lao's intentions, the lower officials understand." Every time you and I meet, we are in private, how can we have the leisure to worship in the house? Today, the lower officials are looking for you to say......"

Ji Yushen said: "It seems that last time I proposed, Lord Su decided to accept it?" Don't...... Is it because of Concubine Zhao's relatives? ”

Su Qing sighed softly and looked out the window at the pitch-black suburban night.

After a while, he retracted his gaze, "When the little girl just got old, Xia Guan's heart was depressed, where could he take care of anything else?" It's just sad. Although she knew that the queen was poisoned, she was the queen after all, what way did the lower officials let her bow to the law to pay for the little girl's life? Therefore, Ji Ge Lao asked the subordinate officials to fight for the queen of Yancheng in front of the emperor, but the subordinate officials were really hesitant in this matter. But today, Concubine Zhao Guifei personally went out of the palace and came to Su Mansion, and the officials understood one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"If the queen is not punished, the next person to be poisoned may be Concubine Zhao."

Su Qing raised his head and said, "Su Qing has been alone all his life, and there is only one daughter under his knees. Now she is gone, but Concubine Zhao is still there. She and the little girl sister are commensurate with each other, and the little girl is old, and if she says something disrespectful, I treat Concubine Zhao as my daughter...... For her sake, I must also give the queen the punishment she deserves! ”

"You've decided?"

"It's decided, don't break the south wall and don't look back."

Ji Yushen looked at Su Qing with a deep gaze, and nodded for a long time.

……

A few days later, just when Su Youyi's promotion of the concubine was hot, the ministers of the court and the central government suddenly wrote a large number of letters, demanding that the queen be punished for poisoning the concubines.

Su Qing, as the father of Wan Concubine, naturally took the lead, "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the evidence of the queen's poisoning of Wan Concubine is conclusive, if this is tolerated, where is the law of the court?" The minister has only such a daughter, who suffered a tragedy at a young age, but there are many other concubines in the harem, if this matter is tolerated, everyone in the harem can be poisoned in the future, and the dead and injured are nothing more than concubines and imperial heirs, and even threaten the emperor's dragon body! I beg the emperor to dispose of the queen according to law, give the little girl justice, and return the harem to a bright and prosperous world! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Sima Hu was the first to stand up, and after the concubine was gone, the pure nobleman was heartbroken, and even wrote many letters to his family, asking Sima Hu to find a way to help Su Qing seek justice for the concubine.

"The minister also seconded it!"

Even Weiyuan Marquis Jiang Su stood up, as the first queen's family, Jiang Su has always looked down on Queen Wang. This time, he stood up to show favor to Su Youyi.

Ji Yu stood in place with an unchanged face, and saw Jiang Su stand up as promised, with a look of confidence in his eyes.

His self-confidence was right.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

More and more ministers they had contacted in advance stood up and unswervingly seconded the proposal, and even some ministers were not contacted by them privately, but only stood up to curry favor with Su Youyi and Su Qing.

The voices of seconding the proposal were endless, and in the end, almost all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood up, including many people from Li Ge's old party.

The queen's mother's family is in decline, and she has no right to speak in the court at all, so she is completely powerless about it.

The emperor saw the reaction of the ministers, and Su Qing's words fell earnestly in his ears, this case that has been pending for a month, it's time to understand......

"The queen is not virtuous and poisons the palace concubines, but she is the queen after all."

The emperor got up from his seat, saw the surprised expressions of the ministers, and then said slowly: "The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, it is really not beneficial for the outside world to know about this matter." But rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Regarding the "satisfactory answer", it was spread in the harem, only Changchun. Gong doesn't know yet.

Except for the emerald shake.

Of course, Cui Shao would not tell the queen, she pretended not to know, and then comforted the queen when she was about to go crazy.

When he was taking lunch, he suddenly heard the guards who had changed the guard talking about something, so Cui Shao did not go back directly with lunch, but stopped behind the door to listen carefully.

The tone of the two guards was very casual, not as strict and upright as the previous guards, and I think this change in attitude is also related to the emperor's "satisfactory reply".
