Chapter 281: The Concubine Is Wrong
"Your Majesty, are you really going to abolish your concubines? What big mistake did the concubine make that made Long Yan angry? "The queen actually came so soon, she seemed to have heard something when she came in, and when she came in, her cheeks with beautiful makeup were already full of grievances.
The queen was wearing gorgeous and glamorous clothes, the xia veil outlined with gold thread swayed lightly, the hanging down tassels swayed, curled up, knelt on the ground, tears had flowed out of her eyes, "The concubines think that they keep their duties and take care of the harem conscientiously, I never thought that the emperor would distrust the concubines so much......"
The beauty is in tears, and the fragrant shoulders tremble slightly, for any man, his heart can be softened in an instant......
If it were in the past, Helian Cheng would definitely not say a word again, after all, the emperor is his favorite woman......
But today's events are too big to be tolerated......
The cold eyes were tightly condensed, and the voice was angry, "Queen, how can I ever wronged you?" Look at this, if I don't give me an explanation today, I really want to abolish you, the queen......"
With a wave of his hand, the confession that was originally thrown on the dragon case was thrown in front of the queen, "What the queen wants is the mother of the world, and you, you are simply a scourge to the court, I didn't expect you to be so presumptuous that you would dare to do this kind of thing......"
The queen rolled up her sleeves and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then picked up the confession in front of her and looked at it carefully.
In fact, she already knew that Jiang San's killing of King Jing had been revealed, and she knew that Helian Yu had entered the palace early in the morning, so she had already guessed what was going on, so she hurried over, not wanting to leave too much time for Helian Yu to talk nonsense in front of the emperor, and soon ran into the father-in-law who handed down the decree.
After reading the confession, tears flowed down again, "Your Majesty, this confession is true, everything is arranged by the concubines......"
When she came, she had already thought of countermeasures, and it was better to take it on her own than to involve the entire Wu family.
Helian Yu didn't expect the queen to admit it in one bite, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: The queen shouldn't admit her guilt easily......
"What is the queen's last resort?" Helian Yu also wanted to leave a step for the queen, the queen's position in the harem was stable, and the Wu family also controlled half of the court, a confession could not abolish her as a queen, and the confession that the emperor said was just angry words.
Moreover, from the birth of this confession, Helian Yu had already expected that there would be no day when it would be made public, which was also the main reason why Li'er directly handed over the confession to him without going through the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Until now, he is still rejoicing, fortunately it was Li'er who was responsible for interrogating Jiang San, otherwise he didn't know how far things would go.
"King Chen believes that his concubines are in trouble, why doesn't the emperor want to believe in his concubines?" While speaking, he wiped his tears, and his delicate and aggrieved appearance made people feel pity when he looked at it.
"The concubine did this, completely to share the emperor's worries, the concubine knew that the emperor had been worried about the vassal kings' refusal to hand over the money and grain during this time, this seeing that the New Year was coming, the vassal kings could not stay, and they could not let go, and, at the beginning of the year, would the soldiers at the border pass starve to death and freeze to death?
That's why the concubines had the courage to kill King Jing, who had the least power, in order to kill chickens and show the monkeys, so that those vassal kings knew in their hearts that if they didn't come up with money and food, their lives would be in danger if they stayed in the imperial city...... King Jing may not deserve to die, but in fact, it is also an unforgivable sin, these vassal kings only care about themselves, they don't think about the plight of the court at all, their selfishness is already in vain for the safety of the country, therefore, killing them is not too wronged......"
"You...... How can you do that? If you let the vassal kings know that King Jing was killed by my people, wouldn't it force them to rebel? You're not helping me at all, you're harming me......" Helian Cheng trembled with anger, and after a long time, the queen made her own initiative and wanted to teach those vassal kings a lesson.
A woman is a woman, short-sighted, and will never be able to do great things......
"Your Majesty, where did the concubines harm the emperor? The concubines are just to intimidate those vassal kings, and now, aren't all vassal kings willing to hand over money and grain? Doesn't that prove that the concubine's method is effective? ”
Cheeky woman!! Helian Yu didn't expect that all his hard work would be robbed by the queen in the end, and in front of the emperor, he couldn't take credit from the queen......
You must know that the wealth given to the salary king is carried out secretly, because considering the face of the salary king, this matter can only be a secret, and even the emperor does not know......
So when the queen took the credit for herself, the emperor believed it.
"However, you should also discuss with me, how can you do such a big thing without deployment? Also, have you ever wondered what the consequences would be if the feudal lords found out? Not only will I be scolded by the people of the world, even if the vassal kings of various places oppose me, it is also a righteous teacher, and I will not even have a way to retreat when the time comes...... "The matter has been successful, Helian Cheng's heart is a little more stable, but he is still guilty of hiding it from him, the emperor."
"The concubine also wants to discuss with the emperor, but the concubine knows that the emperor is a fair and honest person, so she is naturally unwilling to use such a means to do things, so the concubine wants to share the emperor's worries, and it doesn't matter how much responsibility is on her back, the concubine naturally won't think of leaving trouble for the emperor before this matter, so she left evidence about the people of Beguo at the scene where King Jing was killed, in order to leave a stable way back......
The concubine's father also persuaded the concubine, saying that this method is too extreme, and if it is discovered, it will definitely cause endless troubles, but the concubine only thinks of the emperor, and thinks that the emperor urgently needs military salary, so she can't take care of anything......
"You...... You are really too bold, you dare to do such a big thing as killing the vassal king, do you still have the law and discipline in your heart? If I spare you today, I really don't know what kind of disaster you will cause next time......" Helian Cheng's eyes flashed with a layer of coldness, "Come on, send the queen back to Fengyi Palace, and be grounded for a ...... month"
"The concubine bowed to thank the holy grace...... "The queen didn't say anything anymore, the incident happened, and the punishment she received was only a month's confinement, which was already relatively light.
Before she came, she had already expected that she would be safe, Jiang San's testimony could not be made public, if everyone in the world knew that King Jing's death was committed by the Wu family, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling the world that King Jing died at the hands of the emperor?
