Chapter 323 Confrontation in the Main Hall

The Punishment Department does not belong to any faction in the court. It only obeys the emperor's orders and does not need to look at anyone's eyes, so it has always been rough in its behavior.

The scene where they kicked the queen down made the concubine scream in her heart that they kicked her down!

"Tell yourself what good things you have done!"

The emperor's rage was like thunder, and the ingenious construction of the hall carried the roar to everyone's ears, and even the echoes could be heard.

The queen did not mention anything about her past as a concubine, "Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong, but this is really a helpless act. Please listen to my explanation!"

The queen's mind was spinning rapidly, "I sent someone to supervise the imperial concubine to guard the imperial mausoleum, and ensure that she is safely delivered to the imperial mausoleum. But who would have thought that the imperial concubine would return to the palace halfway. I have no choice but to let the world know that the imperial concubine resisted the decree."

, why don’t you laugh at the lack of majesty of the imperial power?”

"In desperation, I asked my servants to send people to stop the imperial concubine outside the customs and prevent her from returning to the capital. I confessed my crime and asked the emperor to punish me."

The imperial concubine laughed angrily. She was really eloquent. She described surveillance as supervision, downplayed the assassination as a serious matter, and called interception as a trivial matter!

You also asked your servants to send someone to intercept him? Did you find a scapegoat?

The imperial concubine will not let her succeed, "Huo Lianjun, listen to what you are saying for yourself?"

"Intercept? Are you intercepting? Don't you know how many people you sent? You killed less than 200 of the 500 imperial guards sent by the emperor to escort me!"

"You just want to kill me and silence me!"

After hearing this, the queen pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Majesty, I am not the concubine. I just asked the servants to stop the imperial concubine. I did not want to kill her! The servants must have misunderstood the concubine. It was not the imperial concubine who assassinated the imperial concubine."

That’s my true intention, Your Majesty!”

Maybe it would be over if he turned a blind eye and listened, but now the fog in the emperor's heart had dissipated, and his eyes were extremely clear.

"Jun Huo Lian, you still want to quibble!" The emperor didn't care whether the imperial concubine was assassinated or not. He just wanted to know the truth about Han Song's death.

"Huo Lianjun, were you responsible for Rufei's affair and the Lu family's corruption case?"

The emperor stood up, pointed at the queen's nose and cursed angrily.

Hearing these words was like thunder in Huo Lianjun's ears, and her heart dropped. What was supposed to come had come.

Before Huo Lianjun could speak, the imperial concubine shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty, one night, I was holding Han Song's dress in my palace to express my feelings. For some reason, the queen suddenly broke into my palace. I was in a hurry.

I hid this dress, but the queen still discovered it!"

"The queen recognized that it was Han Song's dress, and actually wanted to snatch it and burn it. If Wang Jieyu from the palace next door hadn't heard the commotion and came to take a look, the queen didn't seem to want to make a big deal out of it, so she just gave up. Otherwise, today, today

The emperor is afraid that he won’t even be able to see Han Song’s relics!”

Hearing this, the emperor took a rare look at his clothes, and looked at the queen's eyes even more angrily.

The imperial concubine continued to add insult to injury, "Your Majesty, I later found out that the queen, a poisonous woman, had planted a spy in my palace. Otherwise, if my things were well hidden, why would the queen know about it!"

"Also, after being discovered, I thought I was going to die, but after a long time, nothing happened, and the queen never mentioned it again. So I became suspicious, why did the queen let me go, and investigated carefully.

Then, I discovered that Han Song’s death was related to the Queen!”

"It must be because of this incident that the Queen decided to kill this concubine!"

The emperor finally couldn't help but burst out, "Bastard! Mr. Huo Lian, what on earth have you done!"

The queen glared at the concubine angrily, then turned to the emperor and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I have never done such a thing. The concubine insulted me, and the emperor is aware of it!"

In fact, the concubine's words were all made up. The queen did not break into her palace and did not know that she had hidden Han Song's relics.

But the imperial concubine wants to nail the queen to death on this matter!

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine kowtowed cruelly, not caring that her forehead would bleed.

"Your Majesty, I am going to offend you today. I don't believe that the Emperor had no suspicion at all. Your Majesty, have you personally interrogated Hansong's father? Have you personally seen the salt fields that the Queen mentioned?"

"You don't, Your Majesty, you can't produce a shred of evidence. These things were all handled by the Huo family behind the Queen. Hansong's grandfather died so suddenly, didn't you have any doubts?"

"Bold Concubine, shut up!"

The emperor was hurt. He pointed at the imperial concubine and shouted loudly, but he seemed to be trying to hide it.

But it's not that it was three years of severe drought in the northwest. The national treasury was unable to provide money for disaster relief. People in the northwest were frequently in turmoil. At this time, it was the Huo family who donated all their money to support Dashun through this difficult period.

Three years.

Because of his meritorious service in appeasing the people of the world, in the years after the severe drought, the emperor made offerings to the Huo family like a Bodhisattva.

That year, the Huo family came forward and said they would take over the Lu family's illegal salt sales. The emperor initially asked Dali Temple to investigate, but now he had to hand it over to the Huo family.

Everyone knows the subsequent results.

The Lu family not only engaged in corruption and sold private salt, but also occupied a salt field without turning it over to the court. They even collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.

But is this really the case?

After what the imperial concubine said, the emperor suddenly noticed something. He was stunned and asked blankly, "Isn't the Huo family a family of officials? How could they get so much money during the three years of drought?"

The emperor sat back on his throne. What did the Huo family say when they took out the money?

He was recalling it, but he couldn't remember it. Li Fuquan on the side saw this and reminded him, "Your Majesty, it was the Queen's father Huo Shangshu who took it out back then. He said that he found a treasure map of a famous person from the previous dynasty at home. According to the map, he can trace the treasure map.

, and a large amount of gold was dug out.”

The emperor then remembered and suddenly felt that he was so stupid at that time that he believed such ridiculous words!

"What a great Huo Lianjun, what a great Huo family!" The emperor later realized that he had been deceived by the Huo family for so many years!

The queen panicked and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's explanation!"

At this time, the emperor was so angry that he could no longer hear the sound in his ears. He recalled the Huo family's increasingly arrogant behavior over the years, and felt more and more that he was being teased.

"Come here! Put Mr. Huo Lian in prison and wait until he is punished. I will interrogate the assassin who assassinated the imperial concubine. Where is the Royal Forest Army?"

The leader of the imperial army heard the voice and went to the palace, "I'm here, what are your orders from the emperor!"

The emperor dropped the imperial order, his eyes as fierce as facing an enemy, "Immediately send people to raid the Huo family! Search the ground three feet deep for me!"

The golden imperial order fell heavily down the steps, making a thumping sound, just like Huo Lianjun's urging.

"No! Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's explanation!"

The queen struggled, but was pulled down by the punishment department.
