When Lady Song said this, the queen's face had already begun to become solemn.

This ceremonial waiter Wei Boqin is the queen's cousin, and he has done these things inevitably by taking advantage of the queen's power... Speaking of which, the ministers are in high positions, have power to rely on, and privately collude to take bribes, and it is not uncommon for officials to be honored in all dynasties, but it is always another thing for someone to find out. But after all, these people are related to the queen, and if the queen wants to protect them, the people below will naturally not dare to do things out of the way... This Wei family has done so much, and it has made trouble in front of the saint, and the saint is unhappy, and he will have a bad heart in the future, I am afraid that it will be bad for the queen.

What Qingrong could think of, the queen naturally thought of it, and she thought more than Qingrong... The affairs of the court often pay attention to weighing the situation. If in the past, the saint may have chosen to appease in order to compete with the Yongwang, but now it is different from the past, now that the constraints have been removed, the saint is in power, and most of them will not condone it, otherwise it is impossible to immediately order the Dali Temple to be tried.

The female official Song on the side frowned and said, "Your Highness didn't want to worry about this heart, but now, you can't ignore it." ”

Qingrong looked embarrassed, and then nodded, but this is the truth. "I don't know what Your Highness is now... And what are you going to do? ”

"What do you think?"

Since the queen left her alone, she must not be willing to listen to those polite words, this time is different from the past, if she does nothing else, I am afraid that she will offend people.

Qingrong pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "According to the concubine, this matter should be decided. His Royal Highness should preemptively confirm the matter and severely punish those who corrupt the discipline, so as to show the justice of the court and show His Royal Highness's patriotism and compassion for the people. ”

"Handed over to the division for trial, if this matter is verified, if there is really solid evidence, the officials of Dali Temple are naturally embarrassed by His Royal Highness, and will not do anything wrong, and the saint may also look at His Highness's face and no longer delve into it, but the saint's heart is still unhappy, if he is guilty of His Highness, wouldn't it be worth the loss? Moreover, this kind of thing has always involved a lot, if you don't stop the loss in time and deal with it cleanly, you are afraid of endless troubles. ”

The queen just stretched out her hand and rubbed her sideburns, but closed her eyes and asked, "When will the saint come?" ”

Song Nuguan said: "There is a servant who has come to report that the saint has come from the Xuanzheng Palace." ”

The queen nodded, opened her eyes, and looked at Qingrong, but with a hint of a smile. Her tone was resolute and crisp, "That's right, instead of letting others do it first, it is better not to preemptively kill relatives in righteousness!" With this as a lesson, it is good to beat and warn those people, and in the future, I will be a man with my tail between my legs, and stop being bold and reckless to cause these disasters for me. ”

If she is a bad person, she will never be able to shield and connive.

Qingrong was a little nervous when she heard this, but she just lowered her head and said slowly: "Your Highness is wise." ”

At this time, a little palace maid came to report, "The saint is here." Lady Song nodded and motioned for her to go out.

The queen was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised her voice, a little moved, "Pass the paper and ink!" Now that I have the proof in my hand, I will personally write a letter and ask the saints to send these people!

Qingrong blessed his heart, took the words, and also raised his voice, and persuaded: "Your Highness, Your Highness is angry!" ”

Li Jin heard the sound at this time and asked, "Why did Yingniang move so much?" ”

Qingrong stood aside and saluted in an orderly manner, the queen hurriedly got up and said that she wanted to bow and make amends, she knelt on the ground, and she was ashamed of herself, "Sage, I have heard about today's events, I am really frightened, Wei Shi has such a traitor!" It's really heart-wrenching, and I'm really... There is no face to see a saint. ”

Li Jin also frowned when he saw this, and he raised his voice: "What are you doing, what do you have to do with it, don't get up quickly." ”

Qingrong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Highness is still pregnant, you must be careful." ”

The queen shook her head with a resolute expression, "Sage, this matter does not need to be handed over to Dali Temple for review, there was an accident yesterday, I immediately asked my mother to find out in secret, it turns out that there is really such a thing!" When I heard it today, I was really afraid, and I will not shield those who violate the law and discipline, and I hope that the saints will severely punish them, so as to clarify the law of the country and uphold the outline of the dynasty! ”

Li Jin was a little surprised, and whispered to the queen, "Yingniang..."

Qingrong lowered his head and was silent on the side, but his scalp was numb when he heard it in his heart.

When Li Jin saw her say this, her expression couldn't help but relax by two points, and she didn't have the heaviness when she came. He said to the subordinates on the side: "Why don't you help His Highness up?" ”

The female official Song replied in a loud voice, and stepped forward to help the queen.

He glanced at Qingrong on the side, and suddenly asked, "It turns out that Mrs. Lu has also heard about this matter?" ”

Qingrong saw Li Jin's question, and said respectfully: "Returning to the sage, the concubine doesn't know much, His Royal Highness is now pregnant, concerned about the overall situation, and refuses to be partial, which is naturally awe-inspiring." It's just that seeing that Her Royal Highness the Queen is angry about this, she wants to persuade Her Royal Highness to take care of the phoenix body. ”

Li Jin also thought so, his expression was uncertain, he looked at Qingrong, but his tone was a little casual, "Could it be that Madame also thinks that it should be severely punished?" ”

Why did you ask her again?

Qingrong was slightly stunned, although the queen asked herself, but she already had an idea in her heart, this... The same is estimated to be true.

Qingrong's mind turned quickly, and he was afraid that he would say something wrong and offend the most noble couple in the world in front of him. She stubbornly said: "The concubine doesn't understand the affairs of the court, so she doesn't dare to say much." ”

The queen said in a deep voice: "It's okay, since the saint asked, the lady said bluntly, the saint will not blame." ”

Qingrong had no choice but to speak: "The concubine doesn't know, but this matter may not be all blamed on Wei Shilang and others... They are in high positions, and the people below them have their own people who try their best to welcome and flatter. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Jin's expression was slightly cold.

But it happened to be the queen's last words, she waved her hand, and said disagreeably: "You don't have to speak for them!" ”

The queen said: "The concubine does not shield people who violate the law and discipline, even if they are related to the concubine... The court is fair, and the Wei and Liu brothers are sold to their official positions, and they are dirty and messy! Bear the world's corporals, but also bear the grace of the king, so bullying the king and suppressing the officials, it is really intolerable! Although the concubine is a member of the harem, how can she sit back and watch corruption and bribery run rampant, act as a prestige, and corrupt the atmosphere of the court with flattery? ”

Li Jin's tone was quite gratifying: "You have a heart, since this is the case, there is no need to let the Dali Temple try it, how should you punish it?" ”

The queen's tone was firm, and she said calmly in front of Li Jin: "These people have messed with the law and discipline and corrupted the dynasty, so naturally they must be severely punished." If the concubine is seen, Wei Boqin will be demoted to eight grades, and the Liu brothers will be dismissed and exiled, and the prime minister Wei Wen will not do anything, and he should be demoted from Yongcheng if he tolerates and raises adultery. ”

Li Jin looked at her and was silent for a moment, "It's up to you." ”

The queen looked at him, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, but suddenly weakened and fainted. Everyone present was frightened, and Li Jin hurriedly called: "Yingniang! Yingniang! ”

He hurriedly carried the queen back to the inner room, and the female official Song hurriedly ordered her subordinates to invite the imperial doctor, Qingrong was a little at a loss, I don't know if this is an accident, or if it is really such a coincidence... She followed, waiting outside the queen's house for news.

Not long after, Mrs. Wei rushed over, and as soon as she saw Qingrong, Mrs. Wei stepped forward in a hurry: "Yingniang is okay, right?" Why did you faint so well? ”

Qingrong was also confused, so he had to be relieved: "Don't worry, madam, I have already asked someone to pass on the imperial doctor, Your Royal Highness Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine." ”

Several people ran in from outside the door with an imperial doctor, and after a period of chaos, the Song female official came out of it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Highness is fine, the imperial doctor said that he was angry, so he fainted, and the two ladies were relieved." ”

Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, Mrs. Wei was busy reciting Amitabha Buddha and said, "It's really scary, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Li Jin has been by the queen's side, and not long after the queen woke up, she called someone to call Qingrong and Mrs. Wei in.

After Qingrong entered, he saw Li Jin sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes fluttering on his body, Qingrong didn't dare to look more, and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

The queen smiled, "I'm really worried about you, I'm fine." Mrs. Lu, you sent Jing Niang into the palace today, it was hard work, Jing Niang wants to live in the palace for a while, so you can go down first. ”

Qingrong nodded and responded: "Yes, the concubine will not disturb His Highness, His Highness should take good care of his life, don't work so hard again." ”

The queen smiled gently and sighed lightly, "I know, you can rest assured." ”

……

Soon, the emperor's edict was issued on the same day.

Qingrong didn't know how the queen planned to face the relatives of the Wei family, but when she thought about it, they would only cry and plead at most, and they didn't dare to do anything to the queen. It's just that the events of the day came out, but people who didn't know outside thought that the queen was provoked and bewitched by Qingrong's words, so they would be so ruthless... While they were jealous of Qingrong, they didn't have to admit that the Lu family was now favored by the queen.

But only Qingrong knows that it is not like that at all, how to do it, I am afraid that the queen has already made a decision in her heart, and when she asked herself that day, she just pulled herself to block the knife and share the responsibility, but now she can't explain it one by one, I'm afraid that no one will believe it even if she says it, who doesn't believe what she wants to believe?

In the event of such a thing, she is a subordinate, can only knock out her teeth and swallow blood? Everyone on the face didn't dare to do anything to Qingrong, but she still inevitably offended the Wei family and the Liu family, and was even more hated by the Liu family.

At this time, the old minister Du Zheng was transferred to the imperial court again, and he was directly appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the three products under the door of the same book, and he was the prime minister again. Now that he has been demoted for a year, Du Zheng can't bear it anymore, but he has an old grudge with Xue Fangji, so he directly wrote that Xue Fangji had a private relationship with King Yong, which was a rebellion against the party.

Although a long time has passed, there is no ironclad evidence, but Li Jin's suspicions still exist, and not long after, he issued an edict and transferred Xue Fangji, the Duke of Xingguo, to the south to serve as the governor of Bingzhou.

Since the defeat of Tibet, the war in Xizhou has calmed down, and it has been peaceful for a while, but it has been stable for less than half a year, and the war in Xizhou is about to start again. In March, the Tibetans united with the Eastern Turkic leaders to raise troops against Ye and harassed the border of Xizhou several times. Li Jin ordered the generals Liang Yuji, Su Jian and others to lead the army to conquer. At the same time, the Goryeo coup d'état, colluded with Baekje, combined forces to invade the south, and captured more than 30 cities of Silla. And this time, whether it was the western expedition to the border or the eastern rescue, it was not as Cui Chenyu said, and Xue Shao was appointed as a general.

Qingrong didn't mention this matter on her lips, but her heart was bright, she knew that since the Yongwang case, Li Jin had always deliberately snubbed and suppressed the Xue family, and now it is. And for this matter alone, the queen probably won't speak rashly. As for Xue Shao... It's also hard to say that it wasn't influenced by her.
