Ren Qingrui's words caused Qinzheng Hall to fall into silence.
It was as silent as a pool of stagnant water. No one dared to speak, for fear that a certain sentence would touch the sensitive nerves of King Bingjian.
Even Xia Gongming and Tong Sansi, the two auxiliary ministers appointed by Li Zheng, did not dare to speak lightly. If something went wrong, it might lead to a big turmoil.
Young Master Liu put his hands on his lower abdomen, gently turning the jade ring on his thumb that he had put back on, and looked slightly sideways at Ren Qingrui, who was looking at the graceful silhouette of Ren Qingrui on the dragon platform.
It seems that I really made a mistake.
No, it's not just a mistake, it's simply blindness.
It can be said that there is a natural difference between the Ren Qingrui in front of her and the helpless family members who stood in the palace before Li Ye came to court.
One is a beauty who is as beautiful as anyone in the world, and the other is a snake-hearted witch who brings disaster to the country.
The difference between before and after is so huge that it is shocking to the bottom of my heart.
fight!
fight!
Besides fighting, there is still fighting!
The one who beat me is deaf and blind, the one who beat me is blind and blind!
The Emperor and Empress Dowager Nangong Meng, who was standing next to the pillars of the Qinzheng Hall, looked at Li Ye's stunned expression on the dragon throne, and then looked at Liu Dashaofang, who was standing in the center of the hall with a complicated expression, and suddenly became panicked.
Li Ye is a man of great talent and strategy. As Li Zheng's empress, Nangong Meng has been with the dragon for a long time. How could she not understand the ways of strategizing after being exposed to him for decades.
It can be said that Nangong Meng has a far clearer understanding of the various aspects of the court than some officials who have just been transferred to the court from various state capitals.
Xia Gongming and the others could hear the hidden meaning of Ren Qingrui's words and what kind of impact they would have on Li Ye and Liu Mingzhi. How could Nangong Meng not hear it?
In an instant, Nangong Meng's heart, which had been silent since her husband Li Zheng became famous, began to tremble involuntarily.
If grandson Li Ye really listens to the slander, then Dalong...
Nangong Meng didn't dare to think any more. She held up Gong Sha behind the phoenix robe with her arms and hurriedly walked out from behind the imperial pillars. She glared at Ren Qingrui fiercely with her bright phoenix eyes.
"Bitch, even if the Ai family lives in the clan's mansion forever until the end of their lives, they will deprive you of the throne."
"Li Chengbai, the Zongren's commanding officer, listened to Ai Jiayi's decree and immediately led the Zongren's guards to take the queen into custody in the Zongren's mansion, waiting for the Ministry of Rites to pray to heaven and then depose the queen."
Nangong Meng's words broke the stagnant water in the Qinzheng Palace. Li Chengbai, the Zongren Mansion's commanding officer who was kneeling in the palace, looked stunned and was hesitating whether to stand up. The third princess reacted and hurriedly walked up, ready to hold her mother.
His arms retreated behind the imperial pillars.
"Yan'er, don't persuade the Ai family to just get involved in politics. The Ai family has only a few years left to live. The Ai family doesn't want to face your father without shame."
"Mother, Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, please listen to me first..."
The third princess muttered something in Nangong Meng's ear. Nangong Meng glanced at Young Master Liu and nodded hesitantly. She was supported by the third princess and walked towards the back of the imperial pillars.
When Li Chengbai saw this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a happy expression and sat back down again.
This muddy water is far more turbid than the previous muddy water, so you must not get involved in it.
Standing under the dragon platform, Ren Qingrui was panicked because Nangong Meng suddenly came forward and said that she wanted to depose the queen. She patted her chest with a blushing face and looked at Nangong Meng who was persuaded to go back by the third princess and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, look, what's wrong with me? Even the Queen Mother scolds me."
"Is it wrong for me, my concubine, to protect your majesty and your majesty as emperor?"
Li Ye came back to his senses after listening to Ren Qingrui's charming and aggrieved words. He looked around at the civil and military officials in the palace who were staring at him anxiously, and then at the emperor who was staring at him behind the imperial pillars with eyes full of grief.
The grandmother and queen finally laid their eyes on Mr. Liu, who had a dull face.
"King Bingjian, is what the queen just said the truth?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and bowed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed the truth."
"However, the Queen only talked about what I did in the court, but did not explain the reasons why I did what I did."
"Before Your Majesty came to the court, the empress repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the government. I was a minister of the late emperor Tuogu. In order to maintain the order of the court, I had to ask the emperor Taizu Gao's legacy to come into conflict with the empress."
"The fundamental reason is that the empress violated Taizu's order and interfered in the government affairs first."
"But no matter what, I have indeed offended the emperor's majesty and royal dignity. I am willing to accept the crime and be punished. Please forgive me."
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, all the officials in the palace were shocked, looking at Young Master Liu with eyes full of confusion.
"Your Majesty, you see King Bingjian himself has admitted his crime, please let me make the decision!"
The officials hurriedly turned their eyes to Li Ye, with unmistakable worry, and secretly prayed to His Majesty not to be confused.
Li Ye looked at Young Master Liu, who was holding the wat in salute, and then at Ren Qingrui, who looked charming.
"Queen, King Bingjian has already admitted his mistake, and the reason for this matter is you. King Bingjian has already confessed his crime, so don't hold on to it so tightly."
"You are here to maintain the majesty of my emperor, and the king is here to maintain the majesty of the imperial court."
"In the final analysis, you had good intentions and did bad things, and there was a misunderstanding."
"One is a loyal minister, Tuo Gu, and the other is a well-educated and sensible mother of a country. They both had some misunderstandings because of court affairs. I can't bear to deal with whoever blames whom!"
"You all take a step back. I will let him go after this matter is over!"
"Long live your Majesty the Holy Ming Emperor."
As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hurriedly stopped Ren Qingrui before he could speak, and said complimentary words, for fear that Ren Qingrui, the demon queen who had brought disaster to the country and the people, would say something deceptive again.
Ren Qingrui glanced back at the civil and military officials in the palace, glared at Young Master Liu who was standing there with a faint smile, and reluctantly nodded to Li Ye.
"I have obeyed the decree, and my matter can be settled, but what about my father? Before there is any conclusive evidence that my father is corrupt and perverting the law, the emperor of the dynasty is detained in Zhaojing Prison to await the trial of the three divisions. How is this unethical?"
"If my father is indeed embezzled and bribed, I, as the mother of a country, will naturally set an example and kill relatives in order to maintain the dignity of our dynasty."
"But the evidence now is just some accounts compiled by King Bingjian, which can't explain anything at all!"
"He is your father-in-law. As the emperor, how can you watch your father-in-law waiting in Zhao Prison for the trial of the three divisions?"
Li Ye looked at Young Master Liu with a complex expression: "King Bingjian, what the queen told is the truth. Is the evidence of the corruption of Ren Guozhang and other ministers conclusive?"
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a while and nodded slightly: "Reporting to your Majesty, maybe I really didn't think well enough. Your Majesty can issue an order to release them and wait for the Third Law Division to collect evidence before dealing with them."
The courtiers were in an uproar and stared blankly at Young Master Liu with eyes full of confusion.
Side by side king this is...
Subdued?
"That's great, Sue Ann!"
"We're here!"
"A decree is sent to Zhao Prison in Dali Temple to release Ren Guozhang and a group of ministers."
"We obey the order."
"My dear friends, do you still have a memorial? If you don't have a memorial, then you can withdraw from the court."
Many important ministers looked at Young Master Liu and sighed as he hesitated to speak, and looked at Li Ye and shook his head helplessly.
"I have no copy of this memorial, so I respectfully send it to Your Majesty."
"Then withdraw from the court."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"Your Majesty, there are other treasures in my house that have not yet been presented to Your Majesty. I don't know when Your Majesty will be free. I summoned you to the palace to present the treasures to Your Majesty."
"Tomorrow... three days from now, I will return to the court from Northern Xinjiang with the king. I have been tired of traveling and traveling, so I should take a good rest."
"I understand, and I obey your orders."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off. I take my leave."
Li Ye nodded silently, staring at Liu Mingzhi's back as he stood up and left, feeling a little nervous but also a little relaxed.
Seeing this, all the civil and military officials in the court stood up with a sigh and retreated towards the outside of the Qinzheng Hall with dejected expressions.
Nangong Meng's pretty face that still survived the storm had an unspeakable complex look. She shook her phoenix robe and walked towards the harem with Chen Jie's support. Is it true that no one can suppress this bitch?
The third princess hesitated for a moment, then followed the officials and chased her husband's back.
Ren Qingrui looked back at Mr. Liu's figure disappearing on the steps, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Hearing the footsteps on the dragon platform, Ren Qingrui glanced at the officials who had not yet left, her voice was so soft and charming.
His bones were tingling and he walked towards Li Ye.
"Your Majesty, I will accompany you back!"
"I will just go back to the imperial study by myself, so I won't bother the Queen."
On the palace grounds, the civil and military officials exiting the Qinzheng Hall surrounded Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, Ren Guozhang and the others are obviously going to plead guilty. How can you..."
"Your Majesty, whether the evidence is conclusive or not is just a matter of review by the Three Law Divisions. Now the Demon... Queen and the others..."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and looked at the civil and military officials around him who looked puzzled and chattered non-stop. He lowered his head and gently stroked the hilt of his sword, then turned and walked towards the third princess.
"My colleagues, please go home and handle your official duties in peace!"
"I am also a minister, how can I influence His Majesty's thoughts?"
"Let's all go home and see you next time at court!"
