Chapter 38: Empress Bo's Decision
"Sister, you have to be the master of your sister!"
Seeing Queen Bo coming, Wang Wan pounced as soon as possible.
She walked up to Queen Bo and kept pointing with her fingers, telling all kinds of evil deeds of Liu Rong and Liu Yan.
The wicked sue first, hateful!
Liu Rong was naturally not to be outdone, and told the matter as it was.
However, he just spoke according to the truth, and did not reverse right and wrong and add fuel and vinegar to Wang Huan.
After finishing speaking, Liu Rong looked at Queen Bo sincerely, and said:
"Queen Mother, this is what happened, let the Queen Mother decide."
"Erchen thinks that the queen mother has high virtue, not only the master of the harem and the model of the concubines, but also the good helper of the father and the mistress of the Han world."
"Rong'er has always respected the queen mother, and today the son has been wronged, and I ask the queen mother to make the decision for me."
"Rong'er must be grateful in her heart and never forget."
His words are full of hints, what "the master of the harem", "always respect the queen mother", "the mistress of the Han world", "grateful in the heart, never forget", every sentence is conveying a message to Queen Bo.
Empress Bo, is it an alliance? You help me, and I will help you!
。。。。。。
Of course, Empress Bo could hear Liu Rong's off-string sounds.
In fact, she had already read Liu Rong's mind.
Time back to the night when Liu Rong beat Liu Che, at that time, in front of Emperor Han Jing, Liu Rong had already begun to secretly show favor to her.
After that, Liu Rong went to her dormitory many times to say goodbye, and also gave many precious gifts (here thanks to Liu De, the king of Hejian, and Liu Yan, the king of Linjiang, for their friendship and sponsorship).
As a crossing boy, Liu Rong's small mouth is very sweet, and he picks up good things every time, which makes Queen Bo laugh.
All this moved Queen Bo very much.
You must know that she has no son, and Liu Rong's frequent greetings made her have a special emotion, as if she had a son.
It's over, the relationship has deteriorated.
She hadn't been happier in a long time.
Since the death of Empress Dowager Bo last year, her life has been turned upside down.
Emperor Han Jing was extremely cold to her, not only did he not come to his bedroom for several months, but also expressed his desire to "abolish the queen" many times.
Her position can be said to be precarious.
Liu Rong's purpose in approaching her is not simple, how can she not see it?
Although she is not favored, the Bo family has two empress dowagers, and her influence in the court should not be underestimated.
Liu Rong just wanted to use her power to ascend to the throne of the crown prince.
It is precisely because Liu Rong's purpose is too strong that Queen Bo has not responded to Li Rong clearly.
She always talked about him left and right, pretending not to understand Liu Rong's mind.
Because of the death of Empress Dowager Bo, the snubbing of Emperor Jing of Han and the desolation of her knees, her competitive mind faded.
Reluctance to participate in the battle for the crown prince.
In Empress Bo's view, although Liu Rong is the eldest son and has the greatest opportunity, there is still suspense in the battle for the crown prince.
If Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty intended to make Liu Rong the crown prince, he would have done so a long time ago, so why delay it until now.
He clearly had other thoughts in mind.
。。。。。。
However, today's Princess Guantao entered the palace to propose marriage, which changed Queen Bo's point of view.
She knew the status of Princess Guantao in the minds of Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Jing of Han.
With the help of Princess Guantao, Liu Rong will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and the hope of sitting on the throne of the crown prince is getting bigger and bigger.
Perhaps, this young man will be the master of the Han Dynasty in the future.
At this moment, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Queen Bo suddenly had a lot of good feelings.
Maybe it's because Princess Guantao's entry made her see Liu Rong's potential, maybe it's because Liu Rong's previous foreshadowing finally played a role, or maybe it's just because she didn't come to the flood of maternal love.
In short, at this moment, Empress Bo, the frustrated queen who could not tolerate Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, decided to help Liu Rong.
She wants to put the treasure on Liu Rong, and the bet is the glory of the rest of her life.
Deep in Miyagi, who isn't a gambler!
After making up her mind, Empress Bo began to act.
She first interrogated Zhuo Li and Xiong Hai, and used torture. The two doglegs were still stiff-mouthed at first, but then they couldn't hold it anymore, so they recruited them all.
Then, she began to interrogate Wei Qing, and for Liu Rong's sake, she did not torture Wei Qing. Wei Qing was very honest and told the story of the incident in 1510.
Subsequently, he interrogated Han Yan and Tian Wei, the two of them were very tough, insisting that Wei Qing stole things, and Liu Rong shielded his subordinates, until Empress Bo took out the testimony of Zhuo Li and Xiong Hai, and they were speechless.
During the interrogation, Wang Wan tried to intercede and interfere several times, but was rejected by Queen Bo.
Wang Wan obviously felt Queen Bo's indifference and disgust for her attitude, so she didn't dare to say anything.
In the end, Queen Bo, who figured out the ins and outs of the matter, made a judgment:
Tian Wei was fined for one year, punished with 20 canes, removed from the post of director of Lang, and demoted to an ordinary Lang official.
Han Yan was punished with a cane for thirty, except for his family registration, and he was never allowed to enter the palace.
Zhuo Li and Xiong Hai, each with fifty rods, were expelled from the palace.
Wei Qing was punished with ten canes and fined for three months.
Liu Rong, Liu Yan, and Liu Che were punished for repentance behind closed doors.
。。。。。。
Wang Wan was very dissatisfied with this result, and felt that Queen Bo's punishment was unfair and the sentence for the people on her side was too heavy.
My side was beaten, so how could I start heavier than the other party?
It's not fair!
She begged Empress Bo to be able to take it lightly, but was rejected by Empress Bo.
Wang Huan, who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, was still clamoring to find Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Jing of Han.
Queen Bo stared at her coldly, just like Li Dakang staring at Hou Liangping, which frightened Wang Wan and suddenly became honest.
After a long time, Queen Bo said indifferently: "The affairs of the harem are decided by the queen, this is the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, if Mrs. Wang is not satisfied and makes trouble unreasonably, the palace also has the right to dispose of you." ”
In a word, Wang Wan was speechless.
This is the dignity of the queen, even if the queen is not favored.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Wang Wan could only admit it, like a dumb person eating coptis, and her heart was bitter.
Liu Rong is still very satisfied with this result.
Tian Wei and Han Yan's punishments are relatively heavy.
Zhuo Li and Xiong Hai were each punished with fifty rods, and if the executioner's hands were a little darker, it was estimated that he would be hung up on the spot, and he would have to lie down and leave the palace.
Although Wei Qing was wronged, after all, he beat someone, and he could barely accept ten strokes of the cane.
Of course, it would be better if you didn't fight.
