Chapter 936 The stepmother of the gloomy villain (6)
Daxi Dynasty can no longer bear the constant wars for years!
The common people needed to recuperate, and the treasury also needed it. Every day when he looked at the old wrinkled face of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was frowning and crying about poverty, the emperor felt his eyes tightening uncomfortably.
Moreover, what the emperor was most afraid of was that after fighting Xirong, he was afraid that Huo Wei, who was willing to negotiate peace, would be gone. What would happen if Xirong suddenly turned his back and refused to negotiate, and war started again?
Therefore, this matter of peace talks must be handled as soon as possible.
In addition, people who can replace Huo Wei must be sent to guard the border to prevent Xirong from making a surprise attack after learning about Huo Wei's death.
When the dust settles, Xirong will definitely think twice about starting another war!
However, when the news of Huo Wei's death came early in the morning, the ministers in the court had a huge quarrel over who should be sent to the border to replace Huo Wei. The emperor was so quarreled that he had a terrible headache. He could only wave his hands and ask the ministers to go back and think about it tomorrow.
Discuss again.
After finally waiting for all the ministers to leave, the emperor pressed his forehead and closed his eyes to think. Even if the people sent to the border this time could not exceed Huo Wei, they would definitely not be much worse than Huo Wei.
Otherwise, we will not be able to deter those ambitious foreigners from Xirong.
Before the emperor could come up with a reason, he saw the little eunuch who was waiting outside hurried in. After whispering in the ear of his personal eunuch Quan Shou, Quan Shou's originally frowning face actually showed a trace of anger.
A look of surprise came.
"What happened again?"
Seeing Quan Shou's appearance, the emperor thought that those ministers were looking for trouble again, so he asked angrily.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mrs. Jinghaihou and Prince Jinghaihou are asking for an audience at the gate of the palace."
"What?"
Hearing Quan Shou's words, the emperor didn't turn around for a moment. He was stunned at first, and then realized that the Marquis Jinghai's wife and the prince were Huo Wei's wife and son!
"Shouldn't they be attending funerals at home at this time? Why did they come to the palace gate to ask for permission? What happened?"
The emperor frowned fiercely and said with some displeasure.
"I heard that the Marquis of Jinghai, Mrs. Jinghai, took the Marquis of Jinghai to his knees and cried at the gate of the palace, asking Your Majesty to bring justice to their orphans and widows. It seems that several of Marquis Jinghai's concubines came to the Marquis of Jinghai's mansion to seize the family property.
.
Speaking of this, Quan Shou looked embarrassed.
After all, when Huo Wei was alive, he could be regarded as an indomitable hero.
Unexpectedly, after his death, the Huo family started a fight over the family property, which was really shocking.
"You bastards, who gave them the courage to do such disgusting things?"
When the emperor heard Quan Shou's words, he stood up suddenly, picked up the tea cup at hand and threw it to the ground.
The crisp sound of the tea cup breaking, accompanied by the emperor's thunderous anger, rang out together.
Quan Shou knelt down with a pop, touched his forehead to the ground, and persuaded softly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. There is no need to hurt the dragon's body because of that little guy."
After the emperor dropped the teacup, he paced back and forth with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Go and bring Mrs. Jinghaihou and Prince Jinghaihou together."
At this moment, Huo Jingzhou was confused.
He was dragged and dragged all the way to the palace gate by his stepmother, and then he was pulled together and knelt down at the palace gate with a thud.
Before he could open his mouth, he wanted to ask his stepmother, what on earth was going on?
Then I heard the stepmother's original cry turned into a howl, crying and shouting for His Majesty to make the decision.
Hearing this, Huo Jingzhou suddenly took a breath of cold air.
However, then he began to think quickly.
If His Majesty is really able to help the Jinghai Hou Mansion to seek justice, I believe that the second uncle and the third uncle and their families will not come looking for trouble again!
While I was thinking wildly, I saw the guard at the entrance of the palace go in and talk about the mother and son. After a while, I saw a white-faced and beardless eunuch hurriedly ran out, flicked the fly whisk in his hand, and said to Shi Jiang and the others.
.
"Your Majesty declares that Mrs. Jinghaihou and Prince Jinghaihou will have an audience."
When he heard that the emperor wanted to see them, Shi Jiang stopped crying loudly, got up happily, and gave Huo Jingzhou a hand by the way.
"Let's go!"
After speaking to the cheap son, he turned to the eunuch and said.
"Please, please lead the way, father-in-law!"
When the eunuch saw Mrs. Jinghaihou's polite attitude, he couldn't help raising his orchid finger, covering his mouth, and said in a sharp voice with a smile.
"Mrs. Jinghaihou is so kind!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to say "please", and then walked a little more than half a step ahead of Shi Jiang, leading Mrs. Jinghaihou and the prince to the Jinluan Palace.
When they reached the entrance of Jinluan Hall, the eunuch leading the way stopped and motioned for Shi Jiang and the others to go in.
Seeing this, Shi Jiang tightened his grip on Huo Jingzhou's hand. After entering, without raising his head, he knelt down on the ground with a thump.
"Your Majesty, please give the Jinghai Marquis Mansion the final say!"
As he spoke, he choked and cried.
The emperor originally wanted to call Mrs. Jinghaihou, but first reprimanded her.
After all, how decent would it be for her to kneel at the entrance of the palace with Prince Jinghai?
Huo Wei died for the Daxi Dynasty. If he didn't see the mother and son, how would those ministers view him as the emperor?
In addition, the ministers in the court had made him so angry that he had nowhere to go!
Just then Mrs. Jinghaihou came into his hands, allowing him to vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, he was startled by Shi Jiang's roar.
When he came back to his senses and wanted to scold Shi Jiang again, he had already vented his anger in his heart!
However, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot avoid the punishment of living.
"You said that Huo Wei's concubine has unscrupulous intentions to occupy the Jinghai Marquis Mansion. Is there any evidence?"
"Reporting to your majesty, all the servants in the mansion can testify that Huo Gang and Huo Ren came to the house together with his wife. I originally thought that they were sincerely helping Mr. Hou handle his funeral affairs. But unexpectedly, I found out that they kept asking Ho Bo.
The account books and warehouse keys of the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion, even if the concubine showed up to stop them from asking Hobo for the account books and warehouse keys, they all united to laugh at the fact that the concubine was gone.
The husband can be relied on, so they can spare my life for the sake of my pity. I have a life, so they can take it if they want! But they are worse than animals, and they actually want to kill me.
My mother-in-law and the prince, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I called the servants in the house and arrested them first. Your Majesty~~~ Your Majesty is wise and powerful, please make the decision for us orphans and widowed mothers!"
After Shi Jiang finished speaking clearly and clearly, he continued to lower his hands with his hands, and his hat came out one sentence after another as if it was free of money.
The emperor had never seen such a straightforward flatterer, without any particularity at all, and couldn't help but laugh.
He had heard that Mrs. Jinghaihou was a house-filler. She was abandoned by her husband on the day of their wedding. Huo Wei didn't even enter the dormitory and went straight to the battlefield.
