"The minister doesn't dare, it's just that although Cai Han deserves death for his words, what he said is also reasonable, even if His Majesty doesn't think about himself, he has to take into account the reputation of the queen's mother, after all...... Most of the six palaces are female dependents, and such rumors are really not conducive to the queen's mother's authority in the middle palace. ”

Many courtiers catered to it and rushed to come out: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

Qin Shao laughed angrily: "The first emperor has already sent someone to inspect it, and you still refuse to give up?" ”

"Since the first emperor has already experienced it, he is naturally not afraid to come again, so that he can distinguish his identity." Rong Hong seemed to be standing in Qin Shao's position and eagerly helped.

He Qisheng frowned: "Since you have sent someone to inspect it, you will find that person to come again, why do you need to work for the Queen Mother?" ”

Rong Hong seemed to have caught a fish, his eyes flashed, and someone from the criminal department reminded in a low voice: "The palace maid who inspected was beaten into the Cao family's party, and it is gone." ”

In fact, long before the Empress Dowager Cao's party was executed, the palace maid should have been exterminated, and she was lucky, here the Empress Dowager Cao was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious and did not act as soon as possible, and when she wanted to take care of her, she was killed by Qin Shao again, so she survived. But Qin Shao couldn't tolerate her, so he simply broke into the Cao family and killed her.

But when I dig out these old accounts today, it's obviously a bit confusing and I don't understand.

"It's better to ask the Queen Mother to decide." Rong Hong gave up.

"Ask the mother." The people who followed Rong Hong gave up their hands, and some of them looked at the people around them bending over, and they also followed suit, and even the old imperial envoy Zhou did not refute such nonsense, but stood up: "Your Majesty, although this matter is insulting and decent, for the sake of the reputation of the royal family, please ask Your Majesty to decide." ”

Old Zhou Yushi opened his mouth, and Qin Shao no longer had a reason to shirk.

She looked at the Queen Mother, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”

Empress Dowager He actually didn't have any opinions, although she was also a clever person back then, but her brain had been a little crazy over the years, and she had a headache when she didn't notice this situation, but Qin Shao and her have no blood relatives and Rong Hong is her own son-in-law, so naturally there is no need to bother to distinguish which is more important: "Let the mourning family go and see." ”

She didn't take it seriously at first.

After all, it is too nonsense for the emperor to be a female queen or a man, she doesn't believe it very much, but Cai Han came to her before and revealed a little bit of Rong Hong's meaning, so she came, and now she has seen a set and found a little suspicious in Qin Shao's push.

Is there such a ridiculous thing?

Until Empress Dowager He walked into the queen's Kunde Palace, her mind was in a mess.

There were no lights in the hall, and the light barely spilled through the tightly closed windows, and it was still a little dim inside, and only the queen could be seen standing alone, and the figure was indeed taller than ordinary women, but the face and headdress or clothing were all unique to the queen.

"You all step down, stay in the palace to serve the queen mother." Zong Yao knew the reason for this, neither resisted nor was too dissatisfied, but just lightly opened his mouth to dismiss everyone, leaving only Empress Dowager He alone.

"Queen, do you have something to say to the mourning family?" He frowned, and couldn't help but look at Zong Yao's face closely.

Three points of facial features and seven points of makeup, Zong Yao's face was solemnly painted with fine and soft curved eyebrows, if it weren't for the scarf wrapped around his neck was too conspicuous, it would really make people not suspicious.

"Someone wants to tell the mother a secret." Zong Yao clapped his hands, and a woman in palace clothes trembled and walked forward and knelt down, he briefly introduced: "This girl came out of Rongwang's mansion, and she used to be the big girl next to the Jiang family, her name was Chunnan, and Rong Hong was transferred to the side courtyard to serve refreshments after she was still the master, so let her tell you what she heard in Rongwang's mansion." ”

……

In the middle of the sunrise, it gradually spreads out on the shiny floor tiles in the middle of the main hall.

The chatter of the courtiers grew noisy.

Does it take so long to verify the body?

King De and Rong Hong secretly glanced at each other, and clearly saw suspicion in each other's eyes, two people with their own ghosts, after all, they couldn't trust each other, but Qin Shao sat on it for most of the day and was hungry, and at the first sound of Gollum, he ordered someone to prepare food.

The food has been prepared for a long time, and the delicious taste of the flowing water in the imperial dining room is brought to the side hall, and the aroma is far away, which makes people greedy.

Of course, Qin Shao didn't need to think about anything, and the chamberlain said that the banquet was ready, and then got up and walked down the jade steps in the hall.

When he was about to reach the door, the nearest junior official rolled in his belly, and then fell to his knees in panic: "Your Majesty is angry, minister...... The minister is gone! ”

The supervising envoy is also responsible for supervising the court's ceremonies, and immediately several people participated in his loss of honor in front of the emperor, so shocked that the petty officials kowtowed endlessly, and their heads were sweaty.

Qin Shao waved his hand good-naturedly: "The normality of people is not exaggerated, let's get up." ”

The petty official was grateful to Dade, and several imperial envoys pursed their lips and said more, and even one of them sucked his stomach hard, and it seemed that he was also hungry in his stomach.

Qin Shao glanced at the imperial envoy and smiled: "Are you all hungry?" ”

"This ......" The ministers bowed their heads, shy and panicked, each with its own appearance.

Qin Shao looked at the sun a little suddenly, and when he opened his mouth and the ministers were about to thank His Majesty for the banquet, they waved their hands: "Rong Qing, accompany me to dinner." ”

The words of the ministers choked in their throats, and their envious and disdainful gazes were all concentrated on Rong Su.

No one misunderstood this Rong Qing, and categorically referred to Rong Su.

"Yes." Rong Su smiled toothily at the audience, and followed with glory, with no face and no skin.

Halfway through the meal, Qin Shao ordered someone to send two sweet soups to the main hall.

Zhou Lao Yushi and several other old ministers are not in good health, when there is a bowl, He Qisheng and other loyal and good ministers also have a bowl, and there are concubines like the Chen family, and there are naturally also concubines and brothers like the Chen family, if it weren't for Lin Xinhong who heard the news and didn't come to the court, he could have a bowl.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," the old Yushi held a bowl of thanks, and then shook his hands and drank two sips.

The sweet breath wafted all over the hall, and many people took advantage of their necks to look at a few golden osmanthus clean and translucent small glutinous rice balls rolling in the spoon, and were sucked into their mouths while they were hot, and they could only swallow their own saliva.

Of course, this does not include King De and Rong Hong, but hunger will not be transferred by will, and even if Rong Hong has a solemn expression, he can't hide the grunt of the Five Organs Temple betraying him.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is deliberately embarrassing us." There was a discussion.

But what does he say about it?

Rong Hong was expressionless, this little trick couldn't control him, he was so busy that he only thought that if Qin Shao fell today, it would be the fulfillment of him and Yu Ling, plus he now held the Rong family's army, if his son could succeed to the throne, he would be able to stabilize the country.

Suddenly, I heard a voice outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" Rong Hong smiled, finally came.

I saw the Queen Mother striding into the door, her breath was heavy, and she was obviously angry, Rong Hong frowned slightly, and stepped forward: "Does the Queen Mother have results?" ”

Empress Dowager He looked at Rong Hong, her mind was not very flexible, and her expression management was naturally not in place, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, not like a smile, but as fierce as being angry and devouring, "The mourning family has experienced the queen." ”

Empress?

Rong Hong chuckled in his heart, "Can the queen mother see clearly?" It's about the identities of Yuling and Han'er, and the queen mother must have thought it through. His son, named Rong Han.

Even if he reminded him like this, he couldn't stop the words of the Empress Dowager He: "Cai Han's nonsense, tarnishing the reputation of the emperor and queen, is a crime that deserves death!" ”
