The Queen Mother looked at Baili Qingchen and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Wang Boyu led the troops and lost the battle? If he loses, he loses. Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Why should military law be used to deal with it?"
Master Wang only has such a son, if his son has any shortcomings, how will he live?"
"Mother, Wang Boyu is not doing things well and should be dealt with according to military law. Not to mention Mr. Wang, even if there is only such a young master, Mr. Wang must be punished even if it is his own fault!"
Baili Qingchen's attitude was very resolute. How could he be influenced by an old queen? He had been controlled by her for so many years. Now that he was full-fledged, sooner or later he would get rid of these old guys and make his own decisions.
The Queen Mother is such an exquisite woman, she is obviously not a light-hearted person, yet she still pretends to have no desires and needs, which is extremely disgusting.
But there was no way, because she was the mother who raised him. His mother-in-law passed away for unknown reasons, and she has been fostered by the Queen Mother.
After taking the throne, he has been at the mercy of the Queen Mother. He has done nothing in the past ten years and there is internal corruption in Fengdu.
In the past two years, he had just made some moves, but Mr. Wang blocked him many times. In addition, General Feng may have been framed, and the court suddenly lost many useful people.
Baili Qingchen can't beat four hands with two fists. One person really can't compete with this group of people. The Queen Mother, Wang Zhijie and their gang members all want to control themselves to manage this country and let this country follow their rules.
Develop the way you want.
It's a pity that today is different from the past. He will not be restrained by anything now. Even if he sacrifices more people, he will fight to the end with these evil forces.
When the Queen Mother saw that the emperor didn't give him face, she looked a little embarrassed. She usually did whatever she said, but now that she came to discuss it with him, he actually showed it.
"Your Majesty... Wang Zhijie is my elder brother, and Wang Boyu is my nephew. Do you have the heart to let my white-haired man give away a black-haired man?"
The person in front of her didn't seem to have any reaction to her anger. He was no longer the emperor he used to be and could be manipulated by others.
I am tired from being a puppet for so many years. I have been suppressing the Wang family's arrogance recently. The old Queen Mother must have noticed it, and she can't sit still anymore!
"Mother, don't worry. As a human being, this day will come when you get old. Even if you are the emperor, you can't care about other people's birth, old age, illness and death, right?
Not to mention Mr. Wang, even if I die one day, wouldn’t you, Queen Mother, be a person with white hair and a person with black hair?"
Baili Qingchen spoke lightly and sat on a chair nearby. He didn't talk about serious matters with her at all. It was absolutely impossible for him to let Wang Boyu go.
Wang Boyu's misbehavior outside, bullying the people, and robbing women had long been reported to the emperor's ears, but due to the Wang family's previous status, he had to tolerate it again and again.
Now let him join the army. If he breaks military law, he will be punished. Even if he is not put to death, he will still be a cripple.
Wang Zhijie only has such a son, and his son is said to be disabled, so what kind of trouble can he still make?
"Your Majesty, you are getting more and more confused, and you actually said such ugly things.
The emperor is the real dragon emperor, how can he be reincarnated like ordinary people...
Wang Boyu has been weak since he was a child. If he is placed in a prison, he will have problems within a few days... The emperor should let him go for the sake of my face!"
"By saying this, Queen Mother, are you trying to favor the Wang family?
What do the civil and military officials think of me like you... I am no longer the child I used to be. I can no longer listen to my mother. I must handle this matter in accordance with the laws and regulations."
Baili Qingchen raised his head slightly and stared at the woman in front of him. The Queen Mother was in her early 40s. She was sent to the palace when she was a teenager and spent more than thirty years in the palace. She was very scheming, otherwise she would not be able to sit still.
this location.
"The Wang family is my mother's family. Even if I favor the Wang family, what can others say?"
"Mother, are you kidding me? General Feng was killed. Firstly, the truth has not been found out yet, and he has been labeled as a traitor and collaborator. There is no substantial evidence.
The current empress is now in the cold palace, and Wang Boyu is not doing things well and should be dealt with by military law. Can it be said that the Wang family is more noble than the current empress?"
Baili Qingchen's deep eyes stared at the old queen in front of her.
The old queen mother frowned slightly and smacked the table angrily, "I have told you about the queen a long time ago. To abolish the queen, make someone else the queen, and let her live out her life in the cold palace is already the most benevolent and righteous thing to do.
"
"I'm afraid the ministers of the previous dynasty couldn't explain this. The queen was implicated because someone in her family might have made a mistake.
In fact, Wang Boyu has nothing to do with her, but Wang Boyu is different. When he was asked to suppress the bandits, he should be punished for his ineffectiveness.
Does the Queen Mother mean that those who should not be punished must be punished, but those who should be punished must be let go?"
Baili Qingchen seemed to be asking her for a password, but actually he wanted to tell this woman that Wang Boyu would never be released unless she ordered the Queen to return to Qifeng Palace.
"These two things cannot be compared at all. Your Majesty, you are getting more and more confused. The Queen is from the Feng family. Her father has made mistakes and is directly related to her. The Queen must be abolished...
…”
The Queen Mother has always wanted to make her niece her queen, but with this queen occupying her position, it’s hard to say it directly. Finally, she got a chance to let the emperor depose the queen, but the emperor would rather put the queen into the cold palace and never see her again.
I don't want to abolish the queen either.
To put it bluntly, the queen's position was just not wanted to fall into the hands of the Wang family.
"Then if Wang Boyu makes a mistake, it has something to do with his father. If his father makes a mistake, does it have anything to do with you, the Queen Mother?
Mother, you can't speak so harshly.
If anything happens to the Wang family in the future, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep it, and the Wang family won’t even be able to keep your position as Queen Mother!”
Baili Qingchen growled in displeasure, frightening the old lady sitting in front of her.
The Queen Mother did not dare to speak so harshly. She had to save her own life first at all times. Only by saving her own life could she protect the Wang family.
The only thing to blame is that the Wang family is so unsatisfactory that no matter how hard they try to train or assist, it will be in vain.
After the Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, she finally thought of a way to have the best of both worlds, using the Queen Mother's return to the harem to suppress Wang Boyu's mistakes.
As long as there is something worthy of concern among the ministers, those people will not target Wang Boyu.
"Then let the queen return to Fengqi Palace, so that the veterans of the previous dynasty won't say anything, right?"
"It would be too hasty for my mother to do this. These two things cannot be confused at all!"
Baili Qingchen hesitated to speak. He believed that the empress dowager would definitely handle this matter. If the one who released the empress came from his own mouth, it would probably bring danger to the empress.
