Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at Ren Qingrui, whose pretty face was astonished, and shook his head helplessly.
"The Queen, I respect you as the mother of a country and have repeatedly given you room for relaxation. Since the Queen insists on interfering in the political affairs of the DPRK, I, Liu Mingzhi, have no choice but to go about business."
"However, because of your majesty's appearance, I will give you one last chance. Ren Guozhang and his subordinates will be imprisoned. Will your Majesty really not order the Imperial Army to retreat?"
Ren Qingrui looked at Young Master Liu's cold gaze and involuntarily took a step back, looking at Young Master Liu with a startled expression on her pretty face.
"King Bingjian, what do you want to do? This is the imperial palace, and I am the Queen of the East Palace who has been personally designated by His Majesty."
"well............."
"It seems that the empress is determined to continue working in politics. In this case, I can only handle official business."
"You are His Majesty's personally appointed Queen of the East Palace. Of course I can't do anything to you, but what happens to others is none of my business."
"Master Xia Gong Mingxia, the imperial censor, why don't you come out and say something? As the imperial censor in charge of the imperial censor's station, and also the auxiliary minister personally appointed by the late Emperor Ruizong, your actions are in accordance with the laws of Dalong.
What do you think, there is no need for me to tell Mr. Xia!"
Xia Gongming, the imperial censor who was kneeling at the head of the table, stood up with a complex expression and walked slowly towards the center of the hall.
His old eyes wandered over Young Master Liu and Ren Qingrui and sighed silently.
"If the harem interferes with government affairs, it should be abolished and thrown into the cold palace. However, this matter cannot be implemented by me alone. It requires the Zongren Mansion's Zongling Li Chengbai and Li Zongling to come forward and write a letter together."
"Especially since the empress has a phoenix body, we need the help of the female officials from the sect's mansion to take care of the empress. In this case, please ask the prince to..."
"This sect's order... has arrived, my sect's... order has arrived."
Suddenly, the out of breath voice of the sect leader Li Chengbai came from the school grounds outside the palace.
Climbing up the palace platform.
Xia Gongming glanced at Young Master Liu and seemed to understand something. He held the Chao Hut and stood aside silently to wait.
Li Chengbai struggled to climb to the corridor outside the palace door, leaning on the imperial pillar and touching his chest with his left hand to calm himself.
"Bingjian... King Bingjian, not everyone has the honor of riding a horse in your palace. You can at least wait for my order, but I will be exhausted."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at Li Chengbai who was as tired as a dog with a smile: "Li Zongling, things in the palace are complicated, and I have no choice but to ride into the palace first."
"I didn't expect that Li Zongling's steps were so vigorous. He looks really strong and healthy."
"My king invites you here for a reason. It is really a helpless move."
"On behalf of the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, He Zhang, the right minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Cui Xingtian, the doctor of the Ministry of War, and Gao Jingyuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry... All of you are suspected of embezzlement of silver to repair the imperial mausoleum...
."
"Before, I have repeatedly tried to persuade your Majesty not to interfere with the government, but your Majesty has made up her mind and summoned the Imperial Guards in the palace to obstruct my law enforcement. All the civil and military officials in the Qinzheng Palace are witnesses."
"I wonder what the empress should do according to the instructions given by Emperor Taizu Gao to his son?"
Liu Mingzhi briefly and concisely told Li Chengbai what happened in the palace, and finally turned his attention to Ren Qingrui, whose eyes were filled with panic.
"Master Xia, the imperial censor, is waiting for Li Zongling's arrival."
"Whatever happens to this matter, please ask Li Zongling and Xia Yushi to handle it impartially in accordance with the Dalong Law."
After Young Master Liu finished explaining the situation, Li Chengbai had almost rested. When he understood the reason, the corners of Li Chengbai's eyes twitched a few times. He looked at Young Master Liu who looked calm, and then at the slightly flustered Queen Ren Qingrui in the palace.
A small amount of sweat broke out on his forehead.
You must know that the urgent matter that King Bingjian said was the situation at this time. No matter what, he would not rush into the palace in a hurry.
He may not even come to the palace, so finding an excuse to shirk him is the right choice.
Li Chengbai looked at Xia Gongming who was standing in the center of the hall with a stiff face, raised his hand and scratched his forehead, his expression extremely hesitant.
If things are really like what King Bingjian said, and the Queen has repeatedly interfered in the government affairs, according to the Dalong Law, she will indeed be deposed from the post of East Palace and relegated to the cold palace until her death.
But how could it be such a simple matter to abolish the queen?
During the reign of the Great Dragon monarchs in the world, it was not without precedent that they succeeded in deposing queens.
Where there are successful examples, there are naturally unsuccessful examples.
In short, whether the Queen is permanently deposed, although the ministers like myself have the right to use Taizu's order to advise His Majesty to depose the Queen, but as for whether to depose the Queen or not, the real decision is still made by the emperor.
If the permanent deposing succeeds, it will be nothing more than repayment. Li Chengbai is afraid that the deposing will only be temporary.
If you offend someone like that, you will be offending Dafa.
If His Majesty and the Queen are still in love, and are summoned back from the cold palace to regain the favor of the Holy Family, then one can only imagine what will happen to him in the future.
This is the second one. The most important thing is that Li Chengbai has long discovered that the dragon chair is empty and there is no figure of Emperor Li Ye at all.
From this point of view, it was not Li Ye's intention to depose the queen, but King Bingjian, who wanted to depose the empress Ren Qingrui who had interfered in politics without permission according to Taizu's order.
King Bingjian was loyal to the country and wanted to depose the master of the harem who interfered in the government affairs. It was a matter of emotion, reason and law.
However, it was the Zongren Mansion and Yushitai who came forward. Thinking of this, Li Chengbai felt even more unsure.
The person who serves the country loyally is King Bingjian. If you offend others, you have to do it yourself and Old Man Xia!
Thinking of the rumors he had heard these days about how much his Majesty and the Queen were in love, Li Chengbai looked at Young Master Liu next to him with resentment in his eyes.
It is true that Taizu's decree clearly states that eunuchs in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics.
But this time the emperor and his ministers were in charge of the world, and it was the current emperor Li Ye who was in charge of the world, not Emperor Taizu Gao.
If Li Ye did not have the intention to depose the Queen, he and the imperial censor would forcefully submit a letter, which would lead to the separation of His Majesty and the Queen, and the separation of husband and wife...
Li Chengbai's mouth twitched and he slapped his forehead, wishing he could slap himself unconscious.
Why did everything so good end up in such troubled waters?
Young Master Liu glanced at Li Chengbai's face, which looked as if he was changing his face. He raised his eyebrows slightly, already guessing what Li Chengbai was thinking.
However, when things have reached this point, there is no room for return, and this road can only go to the dark side.
"Li Zongling, isn't my description clear enough? How about I tell Li Zongling what happened again?"
"Listen... listen clearly, it's just this... this..."
Li Chengbai looked at Liu Mingzhi who was staring closely at him with a tangled face. His eyes kept glancing at the dragon chair in the palace, and he kept praying in his heart that the emperor Li Ye would come to court as soon as possible.
If he doesn't come again, I'm afraid the palace will be turned upside down.
"Just what is this? Could it be that Li Zongling forgot Taizu's order?"
"As a descendant of the Li clan, how dare you forget Taizu's instructions."
"Since I haven't forgotten it, I wonder what the Queen should do with this move?"
Seeing Liu Mingzhi pressing closer and closer, Li Chengbai glanced at Xia Gongming, who had an equally complex expression, and said helplessly.
"Deposed from the throne and relegated to the cold palace."
Ren Qingrui's face suddenly turned pale when she heard the words of Li Chengbai, the Zongren Mansion's Zongling, and she took two steps back in panic and looked at Li Chengbai who looked helpless.
Does the minister really have such great power to depose himself, the master of the harem, who is the mother of the world?
Ren Qingrui has only been in the palace for a short period of time, and he has not had much time to take charge of the harem. He does not understand some of the situations in the court at all.
Li Chengbai and Xia Gongming did not have that much power themselves, but the Taizu Order outside the palace gave them the right to execute Taizu's order.
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Ren Qingrui, whose beauty was pale.
"Mother, if we give up here, there is still a way out."
"If you continue to interfere in government affairs without repentance, I will have no choice but to follow Taizu's instructions."
Ren Qingrui didn't say anything, but Ren Wenyue struggled to get in front of Young Master Liu and nodded hurriedly.
"The lower official is willing to go to Zhao Prison to await trial. The lower official is willing to go to Zhao Prison to await trial."
At this time, Ren Wenyue had realized that Liu Dashao's methods were far from simple as he imagined. He was afraid that his daughter would be implicated, so he hurriedly confessed and surrendered.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Wenyue who looked anxious, glanced at Ren Qingrui and smiled.
"You are a good father. In this case, I will give you some face for the sake of being a father."
"Cheng Kai, please loosen the bonds of the adults, and please go to Zhao Prison to wait for the trial of the three divisions."
"Got the order!"
After Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu untied the ropes from Ren Wenyue and the others, Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui's position.
"Empress?"
Ren Qingrui hesitated for a moment, then put down the Emperor's Order in his hand with a stiff expression.
Now that I have given in, my uncle’s edge is no longer something that I, the Queen, can stop!
"Commander Yang, Commander Qin, please lead your soldiers to retreat!"
"I will take your orders!"
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hands gently.
"Put it down!"
"We take our leave."
Ren Qingrui watched Ren Wenyue and the others being escorted out by Cheng Kai and the others, with a sad look in her pretty eyes, full of guilt.
"Your Majesty, I wonder when your Majesty will be able to come to court?"
