Volume 2 The Other Half of Chapter 493
Emperor Yongning was angry in his head, and when he suddenly heard Empress Xue asking to see him, he subconsciously wanted to refuse not to see him.
But his eyes swept over the urgent report on the imperial case, and then he changed his mind: "Xuan!"
At the same time, Cui Chonggui retreated and thought about countermeasures.
When Cui Chonggui withdrew from the Zichen Palace, he subconsciously raised his head and happened to see Queen Xue who stepped into the Zichen Palace.
The two looked at each other, exchanged a look that only understood each other, and then quickly staggered.
Silently, no one noticed.
Emperor Yongning's expression was very uncertain, and he said coldly, "What does the queen want to see?"
Empress Xue didn't seem to see his ugly face, and asked gently, "Your Majesty, the concubine is here for the winter solstice ceremony."
She went on to explain: "Previously, the Si Fang made a batch of winter clothes for the concubines of each palace, and it is easy to say that the dresses of Fuqing Palace are the concubine system, which does not match the current position of the Jiang family. The concubines are not sure, so they have come to ask the emperor."
Emperor Yongning snorted, and said angrily, "Coming for the Winter Solstice Ceremony? I think you're here for Shannan Province, right?"
He is not stupid, a matter of winter clothes and dresses, why should the queen, the lord of the harem, rush over?
Or at such a delicate time.
Empress Xue was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, "The concubines really can't hide anything from the emperor. That's right, the concubine heard the news from Shannan Province, and she was really relieved, so she came to see the emperor." Ь.
Emperor Yongning glanced at Empress Xue fixedly, and when he saw the other party's calm and relaxed appearance, the anger in his chest couldn't help but dissipate a little.
He stretched out his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead, pointed to the urgent report on the imperial case, and said tiredly, "That's it. Look, it's all here."
As soon as these words fell, Xue Gong stepped forward to take down the report and respectfully handed it to Empress Xue.
Empress Xue took the report and flipped through it, quickly handed it back, and frowned: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't understand court affairs, just look at it, what can you see?"
Emperor Yongning lowered his eyes, only lifted his eyelids when he heard the words, and did not say anything.
"Your Majesty, although the concubines don't understand, they feel that these thieves in Liyun Village are really lawless! They dare to kill even the emperor's heir, what else dare not do?"
Between Ling Hanxiao and the armory, she chose to mention the three princes first.
She did not point out that Zheng Xun had been demoted to a concubine, and strictly speaking, he could no longer be regarded as the emperor's heir.
The bloodline is constantly washed, not to mention that Zheng Xun was just demoted to a concubine, even if he was thrown into prison, changing his identity was not a matter of the emperor's words?
"These people, even if they cut off their flesh and bones, will never atone for their sins. Fortunately, Changding is now in Shannan Province, which can be regarded as saving the dignity of our royal family."
Emperor Yongning raised his eyes to look at her: "What do you say?"
Empress Xue smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, you are angry and in turmoil. Those bandits plotted to kill the emperor's heir and set up a private armory, and even Ling Hanxiao, a great general, was involved, isn't this tantamount to a slap in the face to the imperial court?"
"If Chang Ding hadn't made a quick decision in Shannan Dao, immediately controlled Ling Hanxiao, and captured more than a hundred bandits alive, then the face of the imperial court would have really been swept away."
When Emperor Yongning heard what she meant, he felt more and more strange: "Empress, you mean to say that there is nothing wrong with Changding doing this?"
It's strange, Queen Xue doesn't have much affection for Jiang Guifei's family, why would she suddenly say good things about Changding?
Empress Xue sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine does feel that it is very inappropriate for Changding to be a princess and take charge of the soldiers to suppress bandits, but the concubine feels that Changding is doing the right thing in this matter."
"Tell me about it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Empress Xue continued, "Your Majesty, just think about the situation at that time, it was so critical, Changding, as the princess of the dynasty, wanted to maintain the majesty of the dynasty and control the military situation, could there be a better way than to take down Ling Hanxiao immediately?"
"Wait, Queen, you say that—do you believe that Ling Hanxiao really colluded with bandits and set up an armory?"
Empress Xue shook her head: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether the concubines believe it or not. The important thing is ......."
She deliberately slowed down her voice, "Who has the courage to do this in Shannan Province? Or, if there is such an appalling thing in Shannan Road, can Ling Hanxiao get out of it? Otherwise, why has Shannanwei been ineffective in suppressing bandits for so many years, and those bandits are becoming more and more rampant?" Ь.
Empress Xue had a dignified appearance, and her voice was deeper than that of other harem concubines, and at this moment, her words came slowly, with a calming and calm atmosphere, which made Emperor Yongning's anger dissipate more and more.
Emperor Yongning closed his eyes, but still couldn't convince himself: "However, Ling Hanxiao is already a general of the First Guard, what is he trying to do this?"
General Sanpin is already the most advanced general, and Ling Hanxiao is in charge of 100,000 Shannan Guard soldiers, which is a real power, worthy of the name of high power.
What else do they want to get by colluding with bandits and setting up a private arsenal? Xiushu.com
In other words, above the three military generals and above the 100,000 soldiers, what is it?
Emperor Yongning had a faint guess, but he couldn't believe it: Ling Hanxiao was not outstanding among the Sixteen Wei Generals, and he had never seen that he had such ambitions!
Empress Xue took Emperor Yongning's look into her eyes, and she really knew too well what he was thinking.
So, she deliberately pierced the veil that he didn't want to believe, and said, "Your Majesty, some people, no matter how much they give him, they still feel that it is not enough. Your Majesty, this is an insatiable desire!"
With that, she lowered her head and said no more.
The emperor's questions are really ridiculous.
Even if the emperor himself has sat in this position, there are still countless things he wants.
How could the general of the First Guard not be greedy?
However, whether Ling Hanxiao is really greedy or not, she doesn't care much, because-whether he has it or not, she must make the emperor think that he has it!
The only pity is that to do so is tantamount to helping to set a helping hand.
Empress Xue was choked in her heart, but she had always been resolute, and what she had already decided would not change.
Besides, the lesser of two evils, Changding is just a princess, and there will be opportunities to deal with it in the future, but General Yiwei is not so easy to pull off the horse.
Now that Chang Ding is playing crookedly, handing her the opportunity to pull Ling Hanxiao down in front of her, she will firmly grasp it no matter what.
She and her emperor have been staring at the position of General Shannanwei for a long time.
She is bound to let her own people replace her in order to make up for the regret of missing the general of the Northern Ya.
Originally, she had been haunted by this, but she didn't expect to lose the mulberry elm in the east corner, and a great opportunity was in front of her.
Well, this emergency report for a long time is too good!
Fortunately, Cui Chonggui summoned her in time, so that she could push the emperor at this critical time.
There are some words that Cui Chonggui, the secretary of the military department, is inconvenient to say, but she, the queen, can say it completely.
What's more, it was the news sent by the chess piece she put next to Changding, so that she no longer had to worry about the future!
