After hearing what Empress Dowager Zhang said, Emperor Dade became very jealous. He thought that Zhang Xiaowu's story had actually spread to the palace, and even his mother had learned about it? He glanced coldly at the side of the Empress Dowager.
When the palace maid saw the emperor's sharp eyes, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling and said: "Your Majesty, it was said by outsiders, not by people in the palace."
"who?"
"Your Majesty's aunt, Mrs. Chen, went to visit the Queen Mother the day before yesterday."
The Great Virtue Emperor snorted coldly and said, "Does she want to ask for an official position for her incompetent son?"
Queen Mother Zhang said angrily: "Why do you look down on the Chen brothers so much? They are your cousins after all, and they are relatives inside and outside. You said, if your relatives don't help you, who outsiders can help you?"
Emperor Dade did not comment. For him to become emperor, my grandfather and his family had indeed contributed a lot.
Seeing that the mother and son seemed to be quarreling again, Concubine Tang quickly changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what is this "Ghost General"? Why is it so popular outside?"
Emperor Dade sighed and said to himself that this "Ghost General" is not an ordinary play. She did not know that the protagonist in it was Zhang Xiaowu, and it involved Zhang Xiaowu's persuasion of the prince of Beiyi to withdraw his troops. If according to the temperament of his mother, she would
This piece of drama would definitely make him so angry that he would behead all the opera singers. So he hesitated again and again before explaining: "Mother, I have banned the performance of "The Ghost General" in the whole city, collected its books, and burned them all.
."
"Why?" Queen Mother Zhang asked hurriedly.
Emperor Dade said: "In this loose book, Zhang Xiaowu is described as a military commander with the power of gods and ghosts, who is loyal to the country, and other military commanders and civil servants are described as strawbags. It also reflects the mistakes of the former emperor's strategy in the north of Saibei, which caused a stir in the court.
The ministers are dissatisfied. I have ordered a thorough investigation into this matter, but the golden guards are not good at investigating the case, and the silver guards have been banned, so we can only search slowly."
"That's unreasonable! This world belongs to my emperor, who is slandering the royal family? Zhang Xiaowu is the same, he doesn't know how to restrain himself, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat!" Empress Dowager Zhang's protective temper became stronger again.
Emperor Dade felt warm in his heart. Although the Queen Mother was a little ignorant of the overall situation and unreasonable, she always loved and protected herself. She may not be a qualified harem master, but she was a qualified mother.
Empress Dowager Zhang added: "I heard that there have been several strange things and cases in Longdu City this year. If the Silver Guards were thrown in, it would frighten some monsters in the city." She also thought of the day when the Silver Guards led their troops to attack the palace.
My heart trembled, and I was afraid,
He said hurriedly: "In the future, the Silver Guard must be in the hands of our own people. I think Dong'er is good. Now that he has made a contribution and returned to the Prince's Mansion, he can't always be so trapped, right? It's better to do this,
What do you think if you make him the Commander-in-Chief of the Silver Guards?"
Emperor Dade was slightly stunned, and immediately thought that his mother felt sorry for his seventh brother, but everyone in the court had forgiven his seventh brother for being released from the Ancestral Temple. Uncle Dushan turned a blind eye because he was about to marry his granddaughter.
Now, if I let you become the commander of the silver-clad guards, I'm afraid he would be dead on the streets in a few days.
With the temper of the seventh prince, he will definitely cause trouble, and even bring trouble to himself and Zhang Dang. Emperor Dade immediately smiled and said: "Mother, the seventh brother still needs experience. I heard from Jin Yiwei that he is not honest in the palace.
People are looking for trouble with Du Shanbo."
Empress Dowager Zhang and Concubine Tang couldn't help but exclaimed, and asked in shock: "Is this possible?"
The Great Virtue Emperor said: "My mother didn't know something. This seventh brother will definitely retaliate. Those who harmed him that day will come back one by one. But what kind of character is Uncle Dushan? You also know that if this person doesn't take action, it will be fine."
, it is a killing move. I am worried that someone will deliberately lure the seventh brother to make a big mistake, and I will never be able to save him."
Queen Mother Zhang said hurriedly: "You have to talk about him carefully. This child... really won't grow up."
The Dade Emperor said: "Of course I will teach him a lesson, but he is still too young and very naive. How about finding a marriage for your seventh brother, Queen Mother?"
Empress Dowager Zhang was overjoyed: "That's what I have in mind. Does the emperor have a suitable candidate?"
Emperor Dade shook his head and said: "I don't have any favorite candidates. Besides, it is the mother's job for a prince to choose a concubine. If I, an emperor, think about protecting matchmakers and prostitutes all day long, shouldn't I let the imperial envoy impeach me?"
Empress Dowager Zhang and all the maids burst out laughing. She said: "This is exactly the truth, this is the truth, but he is your brother, the younger brother of a compatriot. So, let your close ministers pay attention to it and see what kind of things are there."
My daughter is virtuous and virtuous, and the Ai family proposes marriage in person." She added: "In this case, it is better to let the two brothers Chen Guo and Chen Shi..."
Emperor Dade sighed in his heart and said: "Mother, although Chen Guo and Chen Shi are my cousins, I know that these two people are usury, open kilns, and sell teeth in Longdu.
(Buying and selling people), opening casinos, robbing farmland, and selling private salt. Mother, they behave like little sheep in front of you, but in front of the people, they are two wealthy wolves that eat people without spitting out bones."
There were exclamations in the West Palace, and everyone took a breath of cold air. Queen Mother Zhang hurriedly said: "There is no other possibility!"
The Dade Emperor arrived: "Mother, if I hadn't protected you secretly, the two of them would have been beheaded by the governor of Longdu. The next time my aunt comes to the palace to visit, you should warn them, good nobles, if you don't restrain your greed, you will be punished."
If Shan Bo encounters him, even my grandpa and I won’t be able to protect him.”
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Could it be that their slaves have committed many crimes and have done all kinds of bad things in their name?"
The virtuous emperor said in his heart that it seemed that his mother still didn't believe the two brothers, so he had to coax him: "Mother, I don't know if it's their intention, or if it's just that my aunt is here, you must tell them to restrain themselves and restrain themselves again.
.As an emperor, I have temporarily restrained my behavior. How come they, relatives of the emperor, do not know how to restrain themselves? If someone catches the evidence and impeaches me as an emperor, where will I put my face? "
Empress Dowager Zhang immediately said: "Yes, we can't let them damage the reputation of the emperor."
Emperor Dade added: "In addition, I heard that they always go to play with the seventh brother. You know that the seventh brother is temporarily imprisoned in the prince's mansion and will not be led astray by them for a while. But who knows what will happen in the future, besides, the seventh brother will not be led astray by them for a while.
I brought trouble to Uncle Du Shan because of their help. They still pretended that I didn't know about it, but they didn't know that their every word and deed was already under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei."
Queen Mother Zhang was so angry that she slapped the table and said angrily: "These two people dare to flirt with each other, damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Queen Mother, calm down." Tang Guifei hurriedly stroked Queen Mother Zhang's back to persuade her. Emperor Dade also stepped forward to persuade, and Queen Mother Zhang stopped her anger. After all, it was the mother who was looking after her son. No matter how close this nephew is, he is not as good as her biological son.
, if the nephew misleads the son, how can the Queen Mother let it go?
