King Ning and Duke Guo of Song asked to see them, but the emperor refused to see them. But the Queen Mother, the emperor could not disappear.
The queen mother came in directly without even having to inform her father-in-law. The emperor had to stand up and salute to show his filial piety, "Why did the queen mother come to the imperial study?"
The Queen Mother has been in a high position for a long time and has sharp eyes. She has been able to control herself without anger. Now her face is full of anger, and her face is even more frighteningly cold. She directly attacks the emperor, "The Ai family knows that the emperor trusts King Jingnan, and even more trusts the old prince Xin."
, but what a heinous crime it is to falsely convey an imperial edict, and the emperor spared the prince’s son and concubine so easily, how could the emperor’s authority be so strict?!”
"The censor impeached, and hundreds of officials asked the emperor to punish him severely, but the emperor remained unmoved. The Aijia knew that this country belonged to the emperor, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. However, this country was conquered by the sacrifice of their ancestors and blood. The Aijia
If you turn a blind eye, your life will be ruined. How can you face your ancestors, how can you face your late emperor?!"
The Queen Mother came out to intervene in politics under the guise of protecting the country for her ancestors and the late Emperor, and the Emperor's face turned cold.
He looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Not only did Zhongyong Marquis make no mistake when he negotiated the collapse of the Salt Trial, but he also made meritorious deeds. The Crown Prince and Concubine of Jingnan were worried that the family members of Marquis Zhongyong would be imprisoned and were unwilling to suffer the humiliation and risk their lives, so they falsely passed on my instructions.
The imperial edict of withdrawing the search was not out of selfish motives, I am just being lenient."
The Queen Mother said coldly, "You want me to die, but I have to die. The Ai family doesn't care about the purpose of Prince Jingnan's false imperial edict. Since he has done such a disrespectful thing, he should be severely punished to set an example to others!"
"
King Ning and Duke Guo of Song followed the Queen Mother into the imperial study. King Ning looked at the emperor and said, "Our Ning Dynasty and Northern Xinjiang have collapsed the salt negotiations. People everywhere are robbing salt, fighting, and even committing murders. King Jingnan
The prince's one-sided words cannot be trusted."
"The top priority is to severely punish Marquis Zhongyong, and then send people to appease Northern Xinjiang, redeem the mistakes committed by Marquis Zhongyong, and quell salt chaos in various places."
The emperor frowned and said nothing.
The Queen Mother said coldly, "The Salt Trial has caused widespread resentment among the people. If the Emperor does not make a decision, there is no telling what troubles will occur. The Emperor must not lose the big because of the small!"
Salt is almost the bottom line for common people.
If the court makes them unable to even afford salt, they will definitely rise up. One or two refugees are not enough to support them, but what about thousands of them?
This matter concerns the country, the country, and the country, and the Queen Mother cannot tolerate the Emperor's indecision.
The Queen Mother must severely punish Xie Boting and Su Tang!
The Queen Mother was resolute, and the Emperor refused to give in. She wanted to wait for news from the border to come back before making a decision. However, the Queen Mother did not have the patience of the Emperor. The Emperor refused to issue an order, and she, the Queen Mother, did the same!
"Come here, go to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion to spread the Ai family's decree, and put the Prince's son and concubine in jail immediately!" The Queen Mother's voice was sharp and left no room for doubt.
Prince Jingnan’s son, Prince Xin’s granddaughter, and the Queen Mother would not really chop off their heads.
But if you pretend to preach the imperial edict, you will have to shed a layer of your skin even if you don't die.
The Queen Mother must take care of this matter. Although the Emperor had a long face, he did not stop it.
When the Queen Mother is full and has nothing to do, she wants to try kicking an iron plate. Why does he, the emperor, stop her?
I hope those two juniors won't disappoint him.
Jingmoxuan, inside the house.
Su Tang and Xie Boting had breakfast together, breaking off steamed buns and stuffing them into their mouths, a little absent-mindedly.
Xie Boting saw it and said, "What are you thinking about? You look so embarrassed?"
What else could she think about? Su Tang said melancholy, "I'm thinking whether to listen to your words and reflect on it or go to pay my respects to the old lady."
"...Is it so difficult to choose?" Xie Boting couldn't laugh or cry.
Although the old lady is very difficult to deal with, she has never taken advantage of Su Tang. Even if she occasionally takes advantage openly, she suffers more losses secretly.
Su Tang went to pay his respects to the old lady. It was not Su Tang who had to worry, but the old lady. This chapter has been completed!
