When the emperor's imperial edict was spread, the Xu family was naturally honored, but the Han family was also disgraced.
Posts have been sent out for Mrs. Han’s birthday banquet. Because her daughter will become the queen, the Han family has posted a lot of posts this time. They want to make this birthday banquet grand and make the Han family famous.
But now, this has become a joke.
In order to please the Han family and take advantage of the future queen's family's blessings, those people felt quite honorable after receiving the invitation. They never thought that something unexpected happened now, and the invitation in their hands became a hot potato. It was impossible to go, and it was impossible not to go.
The Han family was truly embarrassed this time.
Not to mention Han Ji almost vomiting blood, even Grand Master Han was so angry that he couldn't stand still. Fortunately, he had experienced strong winds and waves, but he was still stable.
"Don't panic, I'm going to the palace."
This matter must be rectified, we cannot just accept it.
Seeing that his own father was so powerful, Han Ji finally regained some confidence and said, "I'll go with you."
In the palace, Zhao Zhuo went to see Empress Dowager Feng as soon as he went to court. Although the time was short, Empress Dowager Feng naturally heard the news about such a big matter. She was so shocked that she suspected that she had heard it wrong. How could the emperor suddenly become queen?
Daughter of the Xu family?
"Mother."
Seeing Zhao Zhuo's arrival, Queen Mother Feng immediately ran over: "Your Majesty, what is going on? Did you really issue an imperial edict to make that daughter of the Xu family your queen? Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?"
Zhao Zhuo raised his hand: "You all go down."
After everyone had gone down, he walked inside, straightened his clothes and sat down: "Didn't the Queen Mother always urge her sons to establish queens? Now the sons and ministers have been chosen."
Empress Dowager Feng frowned: "Who did you choose? How could you choose Xu Wanyi? What about Zhisu? How sad would she be?"
"Mother!" Zhao Zhuo emphasized his tone and looked at her coldly: "I am the emperor, why can't I choose my own queen?"
Queen Mother Feng was furious: "Mother, that's not what you meant. Didn't you really like that girl from the Han family before?"
Zhao Zhuo refuted her: "My mother likes her very much, but I have never expressed my position. If my mother likes her, she can be allowed to enter the palace to accompany you at any time. That is her honor."
"This... But even if you don't like Han Zhisu, you can't be that daughter of the Xu family. She has a bad reputation and is named Rick, so how can she be the queen?"
Zhao Zhuo: "Can her life be tougher than mine? I am the emperor, so I can naturally control her."
"It just won't work anyway." Empress Dowager Feng stamped her feet angrily: "Even if you don't marry Han Zhisu, you can't marry that Xu Wanyi."
Zhao Zhuo asked calmly: "Who else do you think I can marry?"
"Xu Dinghai is the prime minister. The Xu family is a noble family with countless disciples. Now that my power is unstable, I need his full support. By marrying his daughter, I will consolidate most of the court. Does the Queen Mother have my best interests at heart?
"
"Then the Han family is also a scholarly family with countless disciples? They can also help you." Empress Dowager Feng was very puzzled.
Zhao Zhuo smiled: "Isn't it clear that the Queen Mother has not yet figured out why she was suddenly charged with falsely preaching an imperial edict but can't get rid of it?"
Queen Mother Feng's expression was stiff: "What do you mean? You know that the Ai family was wronged, who framed me?"
Zhao Zhuo said slowly: "The imperial edict is true."
Empress Dowager Feng couldn't believe it. Is the imperial edict true?
Zhao Zhuo said again: "The deposed queen, the false prince, and Mrs. Anguo are all there. This is also true."
There was too much information at once, and Queen Mother Feng couldn't react for a while: "What on earth..."
Zhao Zhuo: "That courtyard originally belonged to the Han family. After the incident, the Han family tried to protect Zhao Qing in order to escape the crime. Does the mother think that the Han family knew about the fake prince?"
Empress Dowager Feng staggered back two steps, unable to speak. Why is this matter so complicated?
"how so......"
Zhao Zhuo stood up: "My son, you might as well tell your mother another secret. That Zhao Qing is Qin Ming who entered the palace to treat his father's illness. He was also the one who poisoned his father and made him unable to recover. Do you think the Han family was involved in it?
What?"
Empress Dowager Feng backed away continuously, fell down on the chair and couldn't get up for a while, her face turned pale.
Zhao Zhuo rolled up his sleeves slowly: "The Xu family is the key to my control of the court, and it is also an important step to check and balance the Han family. I don't blame you, my mother, for not being able to see this foggy court situation, but please don't do it for me anymore."
Adding unnecessary trouble."
Zhao Zhuo left, and Empress Dowager Feng sat there with a dejected look on her face, unable to recover for a long time. How could this happen? How come she didn't know any of these things?
Zhao Zhuo came out of Tai'an Palace and met Han Taishi and Han Ji on the way. They came to see the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, they met Zhao Zhuo on the way: "Old minister, I'm going to meet the emperor."
Zhao Zhuo was calm and relaxed, so he asked, "Why did the Grand Master come to the palace?"
Han Ji on the side was about to speak, but Taishi Han blocked his words with his hand. Taishi Han's expression turned ugly: "I came to the palace to visit the Queen Mother."
Zhao Zhuo: "My mother has just taken medicine and is resting. It's better not to disturb her rest."
"Your Majesty..." Taishi Han raised his head: "Your Majesty, my old minister is so bold. I wonder where the Han family has offended the Emperor?"
Zhao Zhuo looked confused: "What does Taishi Han mean by this? Why can't I understand?"
Taishi Han was so angry that his beard almost stood up: "Your Majesty, there is no need to pretend not to understand. The Queen Mother chose Zhisu for the Emperor. Among dozens of people, Zhisu was chosen. Everyone knew that she would be the new Queen, but you suddenly changed your mind and wanted to marry the Xu family.
Girl, I, the Han family, can’t hold their head high. The emperor is teasing the Han family like this, which really chills my heart!”
"Teasing? Taishi Han must be careful. The Queen Mother likes your granddaughter and lets her accompany her to the palace. How come you say that this post is the possession of your Han family? Even if the Queen Mother has such thoughts, my imperial decree
I haven’t agreed yet.”
Taishi Han frowned: "But the Queen Mother's intention is obvious, everyone knows about this, how do you want Zhisu to deal with it?"
Zhao Zhuo also darkened his face: "So, I still have to marry your daughter of the Han family? Are you threatening me, Taishi Han?"
Taishi Han lowered his head: "I don't dare, I just imagined that the emperor would ask for a favor and let Zhisu enter the palace together. That girl has a proud heart and has already recognized the emperor. I was heartbroken when I heard about this. I was afraid that the girl would do something stupid, and even
Please, for the sake of the Han family, let her enter the palace to serve the emperor, and don’t let the old minister with white hair give away the black hair."
He also said that it was not a threat, but that he was threatening Han Zhisu with his life.
The imperial edict has been issued, and Zhao Zhuo is resolute. If he can't change the queen, he must let Han Zhisu enter the palace. This can save the situation and make things easier for the Xu family.
What a great Master Han.
Zhao Zhuo was reluctant: "Since Taishi Han has devoted himself to the country for many years, I can agree to give Miss Han a concubine, but everything has to wait until I marry the queen. In this case, does Taishi still have any requirements?"
