How could the Queen Mother not know something that even a young father-in-law could see through?
She didn't want to go to the Imperial Study Room at all, and she was so angry that she wanted to issue another decree to make the two people who refused to leave the Penal Department Prison stay in the dark Penal Department Death Cell for the rest of their lives, and never think about coming out in the next life!
But who made Marquis Zhongyong so capable that he robbed the salt business in Northern Xinjiang and agreed to deliver the first batch of salt three months later. If he failed to fulfill the agreement, the contract would be void and ten times the deposit would be paid, or at worst, it would become their fault.
The reason why the Ning Dynasty attacked.
Whether it was high compensation or war, she, the Queen Mother, could not bear it.
It was precisely because she was sure that she, the Queen Mother, would be forced to submit, that she dared to be so confident!
The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair, her lips trembling with anger.
When the young father-in-law saw that the Queen Mother was sitting and not arriving, he reminded her in a low voice, "The Queen Mother..."
The Queen Mother clenched her teeth and said, "Go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to pass on the Ai family's oral instructions and let the crown prince, Prince Jingnan, and his concubine enter the palace!"
The young father-in-law thought that he had heard something wrong. Eunuch Yuan personally went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and failed to persuade the prince and concubine of Jingnan to enter the palace. He only let him go. Doesn't it mean that the trip was in vain?
However, he did not dare to persuade the Queen Mother to lend some courage to her young father-in-law, and quietly resigned.
However, the little father-in-law had only taken two steps, and the Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, "Come back!"
The young father-in-law stopped and turned around to see the Queen Mother rising up with an angry look on her face.
The Queen Mother has never felt that the road to the imperial study is so short and her steps are so heavy, as if she has dropped an iron block. The closer she gets to the imperial study, the harder it becomes to lift her.
The censors were still kneeling outside the imperial study, with expressions on their faces as if they were mourning for their heirs. Before, they knelt on the ground to ask the emperor to severely punish the prince and concubine of Prince Jingnan, but now they were kneeling to plead guilty. The prince and concubine of Prince Jingnan was imprisoned by the Queen Mother.
They were so stubborn that even the emperor couldn't get them out of prison.
The emperor had long said that Marquis Zhongyong's negotiation for the collapse of the salt treaty was not only blameless but also meritorious, but none of them believed it. This matter shot themselves in the foot.
The Queen Mother was supported by her nanny to the imperial study room, and she stepped over the threshold and entered. The Queen Mother Fengyan was furious, "The Prince and Concubine of Prince Jingnan are so brave! The Emperor sent someone to summon them to the palace, but he dared not to take it seriously?!
"
The sound of sharp reprimand suddenly spread in the quiet imperial study room.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the queen mother. Eunuch Yuan stood aside and wanted to raise his hand to his forehead.
How long has it been, and the Queen Mother still wants to coerce Prince Jingnan’s son and concubine into submission? She is someone who will accept the soft rather than the hard. The more she forces them, the more counterproductive she will be.
The emperor folded the memorial in his hand and reminded the Queen Mother, "Isn't it because they were too brave that the Queen Mother was thrown into the death row of the Ministry of Punishment? The Queen Mother doesn't think that they have reflected on it after being in the death row of the Ministry of Punishment for such a short time, right?"
When the emperor opened his mouth, he almost choked the angry queen mother to death.
The Emperor said, "I have long said that Marquis Zhongyong Tanbeng and the Salt Treaty in Northern Xinjiang not only did nothing wrong, but also made meritorious deeds. The Crown Prince and Concubine of Jingnan Prince were worried that I would unknowingly chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals, so they took the risk."
They pretended to be dead and passed the imperial edict to prevent me from inspecting the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. I had already said that I would not pursue them, but the Queen Mother still insists on punishing them severely."
"If they hadn't been extremely wronged, I wouldn't have sent people to report them. They wouldn't leave the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
The Emperor's face showed that it was the Queen Mother who brought this matter to light and you had to deal with it yourself.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was trembling all over. The Emperor did say that Marquis Zhongyong had merit in negotiating the collapse of the salt treaty, but the Emperor never said that the court could turn coarse salt into snow salt. She wanted to know that the Crown Prince and Princess of Jingnan had made such a contribution.
Will you still care about this?
She insisted on putting them in jail. The emperor didn't say anything about the meritorious service of Prince Jingnan's son and concubine. It was clear that he was digging a trap for her.
It is a great humiliation for her to ask her, the Queen Mother, to be submissive to two juniors! This chapter has been completed!
