A magical scene happened. Gandi, who he had been slashing with his sword just now, instantly stopped moving.
And an extremely embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
"Queen Mother, I didn't expect that I still couldn't deceive you."
Emperor Qian thought that he had already pretended to be very similar, but the Empress Dowager revealed it at the drop of a hat.
Is it because I'm not crazy enough?
However, after hearing this, the Queen Mother just sneered.
"Of course the Ai family can tell. With your martial arts, if you really kill them, no one will be able to escape!"
"You just want to scare me. In fact, you don't want to have anything to do with these ministers or see them."
"What the Queen Mother said is true for me."
Emperor Qian didn't hide it anymore and responded truthfully.
Then he put away his sword and sat back behind the incense table.
"You don't know, these ministers are annoying me to death!"
"For Lin Yiqiu! They have never been so united as they are today!"
Emperor Qian shrugged helplessly.
In the past, when these ministers were asked to unite to do something, one always pushed the envelope and the other said no.
As a result, today because of Lin Yiqiu, these ministers were as close as a family!
Emperor Qian was so troublesome that he almost had the word "disgust" written on his face.
The Queen Mother actually doesn't like those ministers either. Their behavior just now was almost equivalent to forcing the emperor to conceive!
For the Queen Mother, even though the person currently on the throne is not her biological son, she still cannot tolerate such persecution by those ministers!
This is a blasphemy against the majesty of the royal family! You don’t take the emperor seriously!
But just now, the minister of household affairs was cut on his arm, which can be regarded as a lesson to those ministers!
Then, the Queen Mother asked about the business.
"About Lin Yiqiu, those ministers can tell the truth, right?"
"Did Lin Yiqiu really kill everyone in the Ministry of Rites in front of you? The Ai family needs to know this!"
Naturally, the Queen Mother was most concerned about this question, so she asked a little eagerly.
After Emperor Qian heard this, he did not answer directly. Instead, he asked a rhetorical question first.
"Mother, you should have known about this matter in advance, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly.
Emperor Qian continued with a smile: "What I mean is that the queen mother should have known about this before she came here, right? It's not because the ministers gathered outside the palace that they knew about it, right?"
"You are indeed right about this, but the Ai family just found out about it not long ago."
The Queen Mother did not hide it.
After hearing this, Emperor Qian chose to continue questioning.
"Who told you that, and who asked you to come here, I want to know!"
"Why are you asking this? What can you do if you know who it is?"
The Queen Mother became wary.
Emperor Qian replied: "It's very simple, because at this time, the person who tells you this matter must be someone who can't wait to put Lin Yiqiu to death!"
"Mother, I can be sure of this!"
Emperor Qian was Emperor Qian after all. In fact, before the Queen Mother, he had already expected that she would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face changed slightly.
Yes, Xia Yimeng and Lin Yiqiu have a deep feud. If we look at Xia Yimeng's character alone, she would indeed put Lin Yiqiu to death!
But the Queen Mother did not answer directly, and still said perfunctorily: "It doesn't matter who told me, and you don't have to care about it. I still have to ask, is what happened to Lin Yiqiu true?"
"Did he, a eunuch, really kill all the ministers and ministers in the Ministry of Rites?"
After a while, Emperor Qian sighed.
"Yes and no, Queen Mother."
"What does it mean?"
The Queen Mother's expression changed again.
Emperor Qian looked helpless.
"Mother, do you know that I have always wanted to replace these people in the Ministry of Rites. In fact, I often think about whether to kill all the officials in the Ministry of Rites!"
"They have been living in the Ministry of Rites for so long, and they committed fraud last time, which brought shame to our country!"
"My punishment for them is already very light! To be honest, I can kill them directly!"
Emperor Qian was right!
The fraud in the Ministry of Etiquette is extremely serious! If she is more ruthless, she can send the Ministry of Etiquette directly to the execution ground! Behead them all! To set the record straight!
However, she felt that the Ministry of Etiquette still had some role to play! The simplest point! If they all died! Who should grade the exam papers?
Therefore, she chose to lightly punish those officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, which was actually a warning to them.
There is only one purpose. I have spared your life. I hope you can learn a lesson and such serious accidents will never happen again in the future!
But the Queen Mother still felt uneasy.
"Yes, the Ai family also knows about this. If something like this happens in the Ministry of Rites, it will really embarrass me. You should kill them too!"
"But dying at the hands of eunuchs is, after all, an extremely humiliating thing! You can use other reasons! Arrest them generously!"
"Now I am killed by a eunuch in front of you! What will the people of the world think? Will they think that you, the emperor, are weak and can be bullied?"
This is what worries the Queen Mother the most!
Although she values Lin Yiqiu, she cares more about the majesty of the emperor today!
If Lin Yiqiu violated this point, no matter how much he admired Lin Yiqiu, he would not be able to forgive him!
Because the majesty of the emperor absolutely does not allow any blasphemy!
After hearing this, Emperor Qian showed a very uncomfortable expression!
"Mother, I am actually sorry for Lin Yiqiu in this matter!"
"You're sorry for him? How can you say that?"
The Queen Mother was completely confused! Emperor Qian shook his head helplessly.
"I asked Lin Yiqiu to do this! I also told him to do this!"
"I did this just to get rid of the scourge of the Ministry of Rites! And also to scare other court officials!"
"Queen Mother, the person who feels most wronged in this matter is actually Lin Yiqiu! He is actually taking the blame for me!"
Speaking of this, Emperor Qian's expression became even more painful!
"But even so, Lin Yiqiu didn't complain at all! He even told me that as long as I am satisfied, it doesn't matter no matter how many scapegoats he takes!"
"I really failed him! Now all the ministers want to kill him! But how can I do it?"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly became speechless.
She had no idea that Emperor Qian actually ordered Lin Yiqiu to do this!
If this is the case, Lin Yiqiu is not only innocent, but also guilty!
More importantly, this matter will almost attract the attention of thousands of people! It will almost become a key point of criticism from all the ministers in the imperial court!
The final outcome is definitely life-threatening!
But Lin Yiqiu had no complaints! He was willing to do it for Emperor Qian!
This level of loyalty! It almost moved her!
After a while, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect it to be like this! This Lin Yiqiu is really a good and affectionate eunuch!" This chapter has been completed!
