The emperor truly envied Su Hongshan from the bottom of his heart. However, although Su Tang did not change his surname to the emperor, she was the granddaughter of the old prince Xin, that is, his niece. Although she was not as close as his daughter, the relationship was still very close.
Outside the imperial study, Su Tang successfully persuaded Xie Boting with his reasons for interceding for the censors. After entering the imperial study, he began to put in good words for the censors.
Several censors knelt on the ground, their little hearts trembled, and their ears were raised high. They heard the emperor's voice, "Although these censors almost made me a fool, they did their duty. Since
If you plead for mercy on their behalf, I will not pursue you further."
Snap.
The trembling heart burst.
The censors' faces were ashen, and they wished they could have bumped their heads to death outside the imperial study room.
The Crown Prince and Concubine of Prince Jingnan interceded on their behalf, and the Emperor showed mercy and made it clear that he agreed with the Crown Prince and Concubine of Jingnan, and asked them to impeach the Queen Mother for interfering in politics in the harem.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
These six words were the last words the Queen Mother wanted to hear. They could almost be said to be the Queen Mother's inverse words.
They impeached the Queen Mother, and they didn't want the head on her neck anymore.
But they can't afford to offend the Queen Mother, and they can't afford to offend the Prince and Concubine of Prince Jingnan, who has the support of the Emperor.
The emperor bluntly stated that he would not pursue the case against the crown prince and concubine of Prince Jingnan for falsely transmitting the imperial edict. They had nothing to do but asked the emperor for severe punishment. The Queen Mother failed to successfully force the emperor, so she went directly over the emperor and issued an edict, sending the crown prince and crown prince of Jingnan to the Ministry of Punishment.
Da Lao is indeed involved in politics.
Tears shone in the eyes of several censors. At this time, Eunuch Yuan came out and said, "The Crown Prince of Jingnan is generous and generous. Not only did he not offend the censors to impeach them, but he also helped to intercede. Sir censors, please get up."
, from now on, we must do our duty more diligently."
Several censors were really on the verge of tears.
They don't want the generosity and generosity of Princess Jingnan.
Can the emperor punish them directly?
Rather than impeaching the Queen Mother, they would rather be punished.
Several censors were kneeling on the ground and could not get up. When Eunuch Yuan saw them, he said, "Get up quickly. If you hurt your knees after kneeling for a long time, see the imperial doctor before leaving the palace. The court cannot be without you loyal people for a day."
A good minister."
There was no trace of anger on Eunuch Yuan's face, and he even had a smile on his face. The censors really felt chills running down their spines.
They were still thinking of pretending to be sick after kneeling for a long time and not going to court for a few days to delay the impeachment of the Queen Mother. Eunuch Yuan saw through this little idea and was beating them. They should not be seen before the court tomorrow morning.
Just wash your neck and wait for the memorial to impeach the Queen Mother.
Several censors helped me, and I helped you, and stood up awkwardly with difficulty. When Eunuch Yuan saw this, he turned around and returned to the imperial study with a smile.
After dealing with the censors, the atmosphere in the imperial study became solemn.
It is a proud thing for Marquis Zhongyong to steal business in Northern Xinjiang, but if the task cannot be completed on time, then the good thing will turn into a bad thing.
The emperor looked at Su Tang and Xie Boting, "Are you sure you can extract the snow salt required in the salt contract within three months?"
Xie Boting looked at Su Tang, he really didn't know if he could complete it.
When Su Tang saw everyone looking at her, she didn't dare to show any unnecessary expressions on her face. However, the emperor's question was too imprecise. Before asking her if she was sure, she should at least bring the specific number with her. Su Tang twitched her lips.
Asked, "How much snow salt will our Ning Dynasty give to Dongjue Nanjiang and so on in three months?"
The emperor replied, "Marquis Zhongyong did not write down the specific amount, but it should be no less than one thousand dan."
"...That's it?" Su Tang thought he had misunderstood and subconsciously replied.
