"What are you talking about?!" Empress Dowager Gu thought about it again and again and still felt that she couldn't take the risk, in case Qiu Meng Min was really convicted of murdering her nephew, and her own defense of him became a laughing stock, in case the Jiang family used this reason to make waves, Empress Dowager Gu would be afraid - for example, it was suspicious that almost all of General Ruan's juniors died in battle, and then go to investigate the Ruan family after investigating the cause of Qiu Jinglan's death?

Originally, the Jiang family's power in the army was intertwined and far-reaching, so if they wanted to take this opportunity to stretch their hands into the court openly and honestly, and drag all their political enemies into the water with old cases, then what else is it?!

So after thinking about it, Empress Dowager Gu sneered and said, "Not to mention that Qiu Jinglan died before Concubine Xihe, Concubine Xihe is such a grandson, if there is anything suspicious about his death, the concubine will be vague?!" Let's just say that Princess Ruan only passed away last year, if the death of her only son was related to Qiu Mengmin, would she be stupid enough to take her only daughter and live under the same roof with the murderer for so many years? ”

"The Queen Mother's ......" Qiu Yulan under the Danqi was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Gu halfway through her words: "Presumptuous!" The mourning family is not finished yet, who will allow you to interject! ”

Empress Jiang immediately retorted: "Maybe the county lord of Ningyi has evidence?!" ”

"How long do you want to get entangled?!" Empress Dowager Gu was furious, slapped the armrest of the jade chair, and shouted, "What is the matter today?" What will you be in court? Wherever you like!? The mourning family and the Manchu civil and military are here to accompany you to talk as you like?! ”

Empress Jiang snorted and said, "Daughter-in-law doesn't dare." But his face was very angry.

The ministers below all looked at each other, and in an instant, they became two rows of wooden stakes, obviously no one wanted to be involved in the direct confrontation between the two queens - only at the front of the civil officials, a purple-robed man with a clear face and gray sideburns, was not afraid, and stepped forward to the round: "The two ladies should not hurt the harmony for some trivial things, in the opinion of the old ministers, since today it was said that the king of Xihe would discuss whether the king of Xihe did not respect his mother, it is better to discuss this matter now." ”

After a pause, he replied, "As for the death of the former Xihe prince, the old minister thinks that it is not too late to wait for today's matter to be agreed. ”

After this old minister came out to speak, whether it was Empress Dowager Gu or Empress Jiang, her tense face eased, obviously giving him face.

Seeing this, Qiu Yulan couldn't help but guess his identity.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Gu evened out her breath and said, "Just according to what Xue Xiang said." ”

- There is no doubt that this purple-robed man is the elder of the two dynasties of Da Rui, the official worships the official department of Shangshu, the Pingzhang of the same Zhongshu Men, and the court giant Xue Chang, who is also awarded the title of Huaihou!

Xue Chang calmed down the quarrel between the two queens with a word, but his face was not smug, he arched his hand, and retreated into the class, as if nothing had happened.

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother!" When Xue Chang stood up in the team and closed his eyes to recuperate, one person came out of the class and said, "The minister thinks that since the letter from the Xihe concubine received by the Lian family and the Ruan family has been confirmed, then there is no excuse for the disobedience of Qiu Mengmin, the king of Xihe, to disobey his mother!" ”

"Not bad!" The queen party regained its strength and said one after another, "Regardless of whether Qiu Mengmin was deceived by his subordinates or deliberately committed crimes against his subordinates, all in all, the Lu clan has already been expelled from the palace for Concubine Xihe, and it has nothing to do with the Qiu family!" In this case, how could Qiu Mengmin disobey her mother's order and continue to support her in the palace?! ”

Qiu Yulan covered the corners of her mouth and sneered, turned her head to look at Qiu Mengmin, whose face turned pale in an instant, and was happy in her heart: "Do you think you can get away with the crime of fabricating the concubine's life with Guan Mother and Dong Yao?!" Right now, if you serve your mother, you are disobedient to your mother; If you don't have a mother, you - haha! His biological son is the hereditary king, and his biological mother is actually going to be exiled! Is such a son still human? ”

Now Qiu Mengmin's only way out is to resign!

Not only resign, but also hand over all the properties in the public accounts of the Xihe Palace!

Give up everything about the King of Xihe - because Concubine Xihe, as the main mother, denied Mrs. Lu's qualifications to enjoy the Qiu family's support. So even if Mrs. Lu doesn't live in the palace and lives in any property of the King of Xihe, it will be disobedient to the concubine of Xihe!

Not only did she disobey Concubine Xihe, but you must know that Mrs. Lu had a son! As an only son, he was also raised by his biological mother, and he lived in a prominent palace, so that the widowed mother could live separately, could the courtiers not be impeached? Can public opinion not condemn it?

So Qiu Mengmin can only resign, as an heir, he must follow his mother's decision before his death, as a son of man, he can't ignore his elderly biological mother - so the only choice is to give the prince to others and use his own ability to support his mother.

"The heirs of the Qiu family have always been thin, and there are no side branches at the moment." Qiu Yulan narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing how Qiu Mengmin would choose, "Qiu Mengmin can give up the title to one of the two sons, leave the mansion by himself, and use the property that is not from the Xihe Mansion to support the Lu family...... However, is he willing? Even if he is willing, hehe, is he relieved? ”

The court waited for Qiu Mengmin's answer, but there was no reply for a long time, and everyone was a little impatient-

The people of the queen party were about to urge, but the queen mother party knew that Qiu Mengmin was afraid that it would be difficult to answer at the moment, so one person came out to save the scene: "Although Concubine Xihe expelled the Lu clan back then, the inheritor at that time was Qiu Zhongyan. Now that Qiu Zhongyan has no one in the line, if Qiu Mengmin does not return to the heir, won't the Xihe King lineage be cut off? If he is not allowed to support his mother because of this, this is too much! ”

This person is clearly the Queen Mother's party, and before the words fell, he bowed down to Danqi, "The minister implores the Queen Mother to abolish the order of the Queen Mother of Xihe......"

"Ridiculous!" The previous Dou sacrificial wine came out again, flicked his sleeves, and scolded without raising his tooth wat, "It has been a rule since ancient times that the master mother governs the concubine!" The concubine of Xihe expelled the Lu clan back then, not to mention the right that the concubine should have, but also for a reason! Gu Ying, you actually said that you asked the Queen Mother to abolish the resolution of Concubine Xihe before her death, it is simply a reversal of the concubine and does not ask about right and wrong! It's crazy! ”

Gu Ying's name is the queen mother's clan as soon as she hears it, Qiu Yulan glanced at it, this person is wearing a light scarlet official robe, it looks like it should be an official rank of about five grades, his appearance is not good, but he is burly and tall, he was scolded by the third grade of the country's sacrificial wine, and he was not angry, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called sake is just a bowl of bird's nest porridge, such a trivial matter, even if it is a rough person, it is rarely expelled from the door!" What the concubine of Xihe did......"

"Gu Ying, you Dali is so kind-hearted!" One of the five-grade military attachés suddenly stood up, standing up at a young age, and the sword eyebrows were very heroic, but his face was slightly pale, as if he had been addicted to wine for many years. This person's grade is not high, but his expression is very relaxed, and he looks fearless.

He said lazily, "Dare to ask Dalizheng, is it natural for the master mother to govern the concubine?" As soon as this person spoke, Qiu Yulan couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring!

Gu Ying also frowned, and was about to answer, but the five-grade military attache didn't have the patience to wait for him, so he went down and said, "Back then, Concubine Xihe ordered the Lu family to take the porridge and feed it to the dogs, and the Lu family told the concubine Xihe after drinking it himself, did he deceive the mistress?!" ”

"In that case, why is it not in accordance with the rules for Concubine Xihe to drive out the Lu clan?" The Wupin military attache sneered and said, "Dali is in charge of the prison - do you usually rely on your staff to decide cases?" You still want to mess around with such a clear thing?! ”

"Jiang Ya Dan!" Gu Ying's face turned pale with anger, and he shouted angrily, "The so-called legal principles are nothing more than human feelings-"

Jiang Yadan sneered: "So you can know that the Lu clan is unruly, and she is to blame for being kicked out of the palace!" Qiu Mengmin disobeyed his mother-in-law, and the evidence is still conclusive and still denies it in every possible way - but you still speak for him shamelessly? I think you've taken a fancy to the two flower-like daughters under his knees who haven't yet come out of the cabinet, and they're talking nonsense here with their eyes open! ”

"Shut up!" There was a unanimous reprimand from the purple-robed adults-Qiu Yulan, who couldn't speak, lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth helplessly hooked up a wry smile: "This Jiang Bagongzi is really inseparable from men and women in three sentences. Love ...... I thought he had an opinion on his younger brother Jiang Yashuang, and he deliberately said so that day! It turns out that attacking the other party in a bad style when he quarrels is his fixed skill? ”

That's right, as soon as this fifth-grade military attache spoke, Qiu Yulan heard that he was the eighth prince of Jiang who stopped Jiang Yashuang in Ganli Palace that night!

"Yadan, stand down!" A big man with a purple family round neck, a jade belt with thirteen rings, and a hanging goldfish came out of the queue while commanding in a deep voice.

Qiu Yulan noticed that before this person was listed, he ranked third among civil officials, and he didn't have to think about it, he must be one of the two secondary ministers of Da Rui today!

Among the two second phases, Tang Zimo is the father-in-law of the prince of Guangyang, his only son Tang Dan, and the queen mother's biological daughter Princess Changping.

And another sub-prime minister, Jiang Tianqiu, is the eldest nephew of Jiang Qianchuan, the "dry city of the country" Qin Guogong. Jiang Tianqiao's identity in the Jiang family is very special, his grandfather and grandmother died early, and his two uncles, Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou, were raised by his father Jiang Qianshan as a slave.

Therefore, as Jiang Qianshan's eldest son, Jiang Tianqiao's career was supported by the two uncles sparingly, and even the sons of Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou could not be compared.

These two prime ministers happen to be a queen mother party and a queen party, and now the name of Hujiang Yadan, who does not have a surname, can be imagined to be Jiang Tianqiao.

The head of the courtiers of the queen party came forward, and the leader of the queen mother's party could not sit idly by, Jiang Tianqiao's voice did not fall, and Tang Zimo, who ranked second in the ranks of civil officials, had already followed and said indifferently: "The pre-imperial deliberations are deliberations, how can you treat the court as a market, and repeatedly speak disrespectfully?!" ”

"This is also Gu Ying's bad, too many strong words." Jiang Tianqiao was short and powerful when he drank his nephew, and turned to Tang Zimo, but he was also tepid and said calmly, "Ya Dan was young and couldn't be excited, and he fell for his plan. ”

Tang Zimo said: "No matter what, General Jiang Lang is a failure in front of the emperor. ”

"Tang Xiang thinks too much, and when the court deliberates, it is inevitable that the wording will be more fierce when there are different opinions." Jiang Tianqiao arched his hand towards Danqi nonchalantly, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother still don't care, why should Tang Xiang stare at it and try to change the topic?" ”

Tang Zimo looked at the ranks of the first servant of the imperial history: "One thing is one thing, and the upper is not investigated, it does not mean that there is no fault below!" ”

A servant of the imperial history came out in response to the voice, impeaching Jiang Ya Dan before the emperor made disrespectful remarks and insulted the court.

Of course, the queen party refused to let it, and also shouted to the servant Yushi to come out and impeach Gu Ying - seeing that the topic was about to diverge again, Xue Chang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes and said lightly: "Didn't you say that you would discuss the matter of the mother-in-law and biological mother of the Xihe Palace?" ”

The prestige of this prime minister is extremely high, as soon as he opened his mouth, the two noisy servants immediately obediently retreated and did not speak, even Tang Zimo and Jiang Tianqiao looked solemn, and said in unison: "What Xue Xiang said is extremely true." ”

The Empress Dowager Gu and the others above are also impatient - is there no end to it all the time?

Empress Jiang patted the armrest of the jade chair and asked, "Qiu Mengmin!" What are you going to do now?! ”

Qiu Mengmin's lips trembled for a moment, and he knelt down heavily: "Minister...... I didn't dare to disobey the order of my mother-in-law, Concubine Xihe, and I couldn't bear the loneliness of my biological mother Lu, so I begged the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother for permission, and allowed the ministers to go to the throne and return to the market, and support their mother with their own strength! ”

Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother sighed: sandwiched between her mother-in-law and her biological mother, to be honest, there is nothing that is not embarrassed by individuals.

It's just that before the Queen Mother's party defended him, Empress Jiang had already said: "You still have a little conscience!" It's just that even though you have taken your biological mother to the palace for support over the years, you have been deceived by your subordinates, and you are disrespectful to your mother-in-law after all, do you admit this? ! ”

Qiu Mengmin said bitterly: "The minister is guilty!" ”

"Fines you another hundred gold, and you are not allowed to come out of the official account of the Xihe Palace!" Empress Jiang's phoenix eyes were full of authority, and she shouted, "In addition, reward twenty court staffs, and execute in front of the palace gate to set an example!" ”

She finished disposing of it in one go, and then she smirked at the Empress Dowager Gu, who was sinking like water, "Queen Mother, what do you see?" ”

Empress Dowager Gu said coldly: "That's it!" "If you continue to entangle, the Queen Mother's party will not be able to take advantage, and it will be in vain, although the Queen Mother is unhappy, she can only forget it.

After dispersing, Qiu Mengmin, who staggered down the jade steps, looked deeply at his niece, and there seemed to be unexpected resentment in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lian Chen turned his head and whispered to Qiu Yulan beside him: "Although he resigned, your grandfather has no other heirs, and it must be your cousin who will inherit the throne...... It's always the flesh and blood of father and son, you have to be careful! ”

"Thank you uncle for the reminder!" Qiu Yulan said respectfully, while Lian Chen was not paying attention, she smiled sweetly at her uncle, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and she secretly thought: "I want to get mixed up with two subordinates, how can I climb out of the pit I dug so well?!" ”
