Hearing Concubine Shu unscrupulously let her subordinates slap the palace concubine, she couldn't help but snort coldly, "I let the queen take care of it at the beginning, but the queen just responded again and again in front of me, and turned around and still went her own way, and treated Concubine Shu magnanimously, if it weren't for her connivance, how could the emperor's harem be so smoky."

She only cares about Mingzhe to protect herself and does not interfere in everything, but she forgets that she is the master of the harem and the example of women in the world. ”

The queen mother said, and asked the palace people about the emperor's and queen's treatment of the concubine, and heard the palace people say that the queen only sent the two princes to the palace of the virtuous concubine, and then asked the concubine to be grounded for reflection, feeling that the punishment was too light.

I heard An Xuan's words about Concubine Shu again, and said: "The Qin family, relying on the importance that the first emperor valued them, they bullied Li'er like this, whether it is a family that has lasted for many years, and now they are also living on the glory given to them by the imperial court, no matter how the emperor is, he is also an emperor, not something they can handle." ”

The grandmother on the side thought, Your Majesty is not like the first emperor, the first emperor has military power, and his control over the court is stronger than today, the emperor has been on the throne for less than three years, the military talisman is no longer in his hands, and the ceremonial supervisor and the forbidden army are also under the control of the queen mother.

And in the eyes of outsiders, the queen mother and the emperor are not parents, they are born separated by a layer, the queen mother has her own daughter Anyang eldest princess, the eldest princess has a rich fief, two or three times better than the treatment of ordinary princes, even His Royal Highness the prince can't compare, everyone naturally thinks that the queen mother intends to let the eldest princess succeed to the throne, otherwise how can the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the prince take classes together and study political affairs.

The Queen Mother obviously thought of this, and she looked lonely, "It's twenty-seven years since Li'er." ”

is no longer the six-year-old child who quietly hid behind the tree to watch her, before the first emperor died, he always said that Li'er acted recklessly and did things without worrying about the consequences, let her look at the point, she looked at it, it was three years.

"Should the mourning family return the power to him, and be an ordinary person who is not in power, including Sun Rongyi." No one dared to respond to the Queen Mother's words.

Because of the affairs in the court, the Queen Mother and His Majesty have many disputes, especially in recent days, His Majesty has suppressed the powerful of the family, reusing the Beizhen Fusi, Jinyiwei acted brutally and bloody, which has caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers, and the Queen Mother also felt that Jinyiwei acted against conscience, but His Majesty insisted on going his own way, and since Qi Zhongjing supported His Majesty at the beginning, he naturally could not rebel halfway, otherwise the Qi family would really be farther and farther away from His Majesty.

The Queen Mother sighed, as if she was a few years older for a while, she was sorry for Jiahui, sorry for Yuezhen, and even more sorry for Zhongjing, and the two brothers, the Queen Mother was very embarrassed, she told her henchmen to invite the emperor, and turned around and went back to the inner room.

When the emperor came, he happened to meet someone who was going to Ningfu Palace, and when he heard that the queen mother wanted to see him, he thought of going to Ganquan Palace last night, and the queen mother had never liked Concubine Rou, but what if he didn't like it, he was the emperor.

And Concubine Rou is obedient, she has never been disrespectful to her mother, and her mother doesn't like her, but she doesn't like herself, and she doesn't like her to accept the beauty of the Suzhou prefect by making a good opinion.

In the eyes of his father and queen mother, he has never been able to satisfy them, Duan Li laughed at himself, as soon as he entered the house, he saw the tiger talisman placed on the table, as well as the forbidden army token, his eyes moved slightly, and he said hello, and saw that the queen mother asked all the palace people to retreat, and there were only two of them in the room.

"The Queen Mother." Duan Li took a sip of tea, only feeling bitter, not as good as the one in the Yilan Palace.

"Recently, you have frequently suppressed the nobles of the court and promoted the children of the poor family, which has caused many people to be dissatisfied."

"They came to the queen mother to complain again, is it the Qin family, the Zhao family, or the Xie family?" Duan Li said lightly, if when he was the crown prince, he was still in a panic because he was afraid that his father would abolish him, but now there is nothing to fear.

He is the emperor, and if he still trembles as an emperor, then it is not interesting for this emperor to do it, and because of Wanying, the Ling family is now standing behind him wholeheartedly.

Although the talisman was not in his hand, Duan Li was not too afraid, he was already twenty-seven, and he also wanted to be the heroic person in Ling Wanying's mouth, not an incompetent coward who had been suppressed by his mother.

Seeing Duan Li's expression, the Queen Mother felt a pain in her heart, and she said: "If it wasn't for the princess of Zhenguo, I wouldn't have handed you over to that poisonous woman, and now that the poisonous woman has been punished, and so many years have passed, Li'er, are you still unwilling to forgive your mother?" ”

"If it weren't for the helplessness, the queen mother also wanted you to grow up as noble as Anyang, but the queen mother had no choice, your father was in a difficult situation at the time, and if you were not careful, you would fall into a place of no return, and we were really afraid that what we did would implicate you......"

"What I remember is in the name of my father's brother, but it is also the Qi family, what my father did was exposed, that is the great crime of rebellion, even if I am not his own son, how can I not be implicated." Duan Li thought, he seems to have heard this reason countless times, the Queen Mother always said that she had a hard time, but in Duan Li's memory, they didn't know about the days he spent in the Qi family.

They did intervene, the first emperor asked him to practice martial arts with the son of the princess of Zhenguo, and in the princess's mansion, the queen mother would also come to teach them the language of Fanbang, perhaps they thought that their other treatment would make the mother-in-law restrained.

The woman did restrain herself, but her methods were getting darker and darker, and she was becoming more and more unsightly.

Seeing Duan Li so indifferent, the Queen Mother was a little dazed, she wanted to say no, whether it was the princess of Zhenguo or the emperor and queen at that time, they didn't like to implicate innocent people, as long as the rest of the Qi family didn't know, then Duan Ping would be the only one who was convicted.

But the Queen Mother couldn't say that, she felt that as long as she said it, those people would become so heinous, and she would continue to live in guilt.

The Queen Mother sighed, "Now no matter what I say or do, you won't believe it anymore." ”

Duan Li wanted to ask, didn't the queen mother have the idea of letting An Yang take his place? But he didn't dare, maybe he was still expecting something.

"I know, you always thought that I wanted you to make Anyang the imperial sister, so you have always had a grudge against Anyang, haven't you?"

"Isn't it?" Duan Li couldn't help but clench his fists.

"It's not." The Queen Mother said firmly, "Why do you think those nobles of the family will stand on your father's side, it's just that they don't want the princess of Zhenguo to succeed to the throne, and they don't want to be pressed on their heads by women."

The princess of Zhenguo, like you, is bent on weakening the power of the nobles of the family, but she is smarter than you, she knows how to boil frogs in warm water, and when those people react, they have no soldiers and no power in their hands, and they feel that they have been fooled by the woman, and they can't bear this breath, so they take refuge in your father. ”

"Over the years, your father has treated them favorably on the surface, but in fact, he has secretly increased his vigilance, you only need to follow your father's method, and you can control the government in your hands without a single soldier, but ......"

The Queen Mother said, and couldn't help sighing, Duan Li was originally moved, but seeing the Queen Mother's eyes that hated iron and steel, her heart became cold again, and she said bluntly: "So what, I am a living person, not a puppet in the hands of my father and queen mother, if everything is according to my father, queen and mother, I am the emperor, it is better not to do it." ”

"Duan Li!" The Queen Mother was a little angry, but when she thought of her purpose today, she held back the anger in her heart and said: "Yes, you are the emperor, don't tell these jokes in the future, I have kept these things for you for three years, and now they are also returned to their original owners, and I will stay in this Ningfu Palace in the future and never see the courtiers again." ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, although Duan Li had a premonition, he was still surprised, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to give him these things so easily.

He heard the Queen Mother say: "You and I are always mother and son, I will not harm you, except for sending you to the poisonous woman, I think I have no place to be sorry for you, so I expect you, and don't treat me as an enemy." ”

The queen mother's posture can be described as humble, she really can't bear to get farther and farther away from her parents, the moment she ascended to the back seat, she thought that her life would be smooth in the future, but she didn't expect to be separated from her son who was connected with flesh and blood.

She was reluctant after all.

Seeing that the Queen Mother's eyes were full of tears, and her originally black hair was a little more gray at some point, Duan Li suddenly felt that he was a little too much.

"You are the emperor, you have to listen to the words of the courtiers when you act, and the end of your insistence is the appearance of the princess of Zhenguo, don't be in a hurry in everything, it's good to be slow." The Queen Mother kept chattering like a child who was about to go away, Duan Li didn't speak, and listened silently, it was rare for the mother and son to have such a warm moment.

Ling Wanying woke up almost when Duan Li left, she saw Su Jin, Su Jin stroked her face distressedly, and said, "Sister will avenge you." ”

"I'm fine, sister, the Qin family will be even more miserable, when I think of their ending, I feel happy." Ling Wanying said with a smile.

Su Jin nodded, yes, the Qin family will be even worse.

There are no secrets in the palace, the matter of the imperial garden was known by the Ling family, Ling Lichun beat the father and son of the Qin family as soon as he went to the court, and when he was pressed by the imperial guards to see Duan Li, he cried a handful of snot and tears, what was wrong with his daughter, but she was infatuated with His Majesty, how could she be bullied.

The daughter is just a little more beautiful, softer, and more like the emperor, why was he bullied by Concubine Shu, he was not convinced, Concubine Shu bullied his daughter, he couldn't beat Concubine Shu, so he took revenge on Concubine Shu's father and brother.

Qin Shangshu and Qin Dagongzi were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, Ling Lichun is really a barbarian, he is full of brute strength, he doesn't talk about any reason, and now in front of His Majesty, he doesn't talk about his image at all, which is really insulting.

And Mr. Cui looked at General Ling's snot and tears flowing together, very embarrassed, and couldn't help but think of Lan Concubine in Yilan Palace, Lan Concubine Niangniang is gentle, even crying will not annoy people, it will only make people feel distressed, are General Ling and Lan Concubine Niangniang really father and daughter? How can there be such a big difference.

This thought also slowly rose in Duan Li's mind, he got the power from the queen mother yesterday, he returned to Yilan Palace, under the gentle voice of Lan Concubine, he became more and more proud, and wanted to make some achievements in a real way, telling him that his father under Jiuquan was actually not bad, and you don't have to miss the brother who died early from time to time.

But before I could show my strengths, I encountered today's events, and I couldn't help but have a headache.

"Your Majesty, this Ling Lichun is really rude, and he hasn't even left the palace yet, so he rushed up and beat the ministers indiscriminately......"

"Why is it indiscriminate, didn't you say it, your daughter bullied my daughter, I will settle accounts with you, don't think that your baby daughter is ...... expensive"

The noisy sound made the roof of the Qinzheng Hall about to be lifted, Duan Li listened to it, and felt that both sides were rude, so he asked the guards to plug the mouths of several people, and each hit twenty boards, poor Qin family, just been beaten by Ling Lichun, twenty boards down, almost half a life.

In the end, I have to listen to Mr. Cui say that Concubine Shu has been punished, stripped of her title, demoted to Jieyu, lingering on the two princes, and also raised by Concubine Xian, the Qin family almost vomited blood on the spot, and their board was in vain.

Concubine Shu, no, it should be Qin Jieyu, Qin Jieyu has not been arrogant for a day or two, and it is not that she has not done anything to kill the prince's new favorite when she was in the East Palace before, at that time, at most, she got a few words of reprimand, why is the emperor thinking about it now?

Soon they knew that Jin Yiwei came to Qin's house, and overnight, people who were involved with the Qin family were imprisoned one after another, and Jinyiwei peeled off the wall skin of Qin's house and found that there were countless gold bricks inside, which could be described as a real gold house.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

The people in the palace have not yet recovered from the fact that His Majesty sent a concubine for Concubine Lan, and they saw that the Qin family was gone.

Very suddenly, very shocked, the queen mother couldn't help but choke on the tea in her mouth, first felt that the emperor was too aggressive, and then felt that the Qin family was too much, so much gold and silver, I don't know how long I was greedy.

From Qi Zhongjing's mouth, I knew that the Qin family not only greedy for the soldiers' salaries, but also shoddy, replacing the soldiers' cotton clothes for the winter with catkins, and selling weapons, so the soldiers could only rely on a pile of broken copper and iron to resist the enemy.

"How can this be reasonable, this is the Qi family, not the Qin family." The Queen Mother was furious and did not see the courtiers who interceded for the Qin family.

When Concubine Rou learned about this, she was dining with Jin Yang, and heard the palace maid next to her say happily: "That Qin Jieyu used to be arrogant and domineering, relying on her family background I don't know how many times I bullied my mother, but now it's okay, the whole Qin family is in prison, the father and son of the Qin family are sentenced to death, and the other clansmen are exiled to the border city, this is Qin Jieyu's retribution." ”

Jin Yang listened, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Concubine Rou, and asked, "Is it for Concubine Lan that my father is so ruthless to the Qin family?" ”

Concubine Rou frowned slightly, looked at Jin Yang, and said, "Of course not, your father is not an emotional person, and the Qin family ended up like this, because they were guilty too much." ”

Although Concubine Rou comforted her daughter in this way, she also had some doubts in her heart, His Majesty did not have a seizure sooner or later, but it had a seizure when Concubine Lan was bullied. It's hard not to think about it.
