Chapter 339

Han Jianming's notebook was delivered to the emperor as quickly as possible.

The emperor was both annoyed and hated when Yunqing extended his hand to govern Shaanxi, Gansu and Xihai. What annoys Yunqing is that he dares to make such a request; what hates him is that he is the Ninth Five-Year Master but he can't do anything to Yunqing.

The emperor summoned the important officials in the court and asked everyone's opinions.

Lord Xin, Minister of the Ministry of War who just took office, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be agreed." He agreed to Yunqing's request, setting a precedent for others to follow suit, and the court will become a show.

Some people agreed with Xin Chou, but most of them pretended to be deaf and dumb. As for the head of the hundred officials, Yu Xiang, happened to be ill two days ago, and now he is recuperating at home.

The emperor named the Minister of the Household Department and asked, "How much money is there in the treasury?" The emperor knew how much money was in the treasury, and so did everyone present.

The Minister of the Household Department was very hard-pressed, so he stood up and said, "Go back to the emperor, there is less than half a million taels of silver in the Household Department." With five hundred thousand taels of silver, nothing can be done.

The Minister of Rites said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to solve the rebellion in Liaodong. After the rebellion in Liaodong is resolved, there is no rush to deal with the affairs in the northwest." At that time, there will be no barriers to stop Yan Wushuang's pace, and the emperor and them will become fish on the chopping board.

Master Xin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not. Now that you have agreed to Yunqing, it will be very difficult to recover the Northwest in the future."

The emperor asked: "Xin Aiqing, what do you think?" The emperor also tended to deal with Yan Wushuang first, and then deal with Yunqing. Yan Wushuang wanted his life, but Yunqing just wanted the three northwest provinces. There is no need to think about which end to solve first. Of course, the problem is that Yunqing has already occupied this province, and the imperial court can't do anything to them for the time being.

Xin Chou said: "Your Majesty, send troops to encircle and suppress immediately. I believe that within three months, Yunqing, a traitorous minister and traitor, will be wiped out." Even if they don't, they will definitely not agree to Yunqing's absurd request.

The emperor was very aggrieved, the imperial decree had been issued, but although Lu Boda and others sent troops, it was all thunder and rain, and the money was like snowflakes.

After arguing about this matter all morning, there was no result.

The emperor was a little bored, so he didn't go back to the backyard, but went to the imperial garden to relax. It's the end of February, and many flowers in the imperial garden are in bloom. Unfortunately, the emperor was not in the mood to appreciate it.

Just as the emperor was about to turn around and go back to the imperial study, he saw the Empress Dowager Song walking towards him.

Empress Dowager Song also felt a little bored, so she came out for a walk. Seeing the emperor, the Empress Dowager Song blamed: "The emperor didn't know how to wear a cloak when he went to the garden. It's windy here, what if the wind blows and catches cold?"

The emperor smiled and said: "What the empress mother said is true, I won't do it next time." If there is a rebuttal, the Empress Dowager Song will definitely have ten sentences waiting. In order to avoid disputes, he followed the Queen Mother Song's words.

Empress Dowager Song hummed, and said, "Emperor, go and sit in the pavilion in the front yard." She hadn't talked to the emperor for a while.

Before the emperor could speak, a servant hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, urgent report from eight hundred li!"

After the emperor confessed to the Queen Mother Song, he returned to the imperial study. After reading the battle report, the emperor was furious and cursed: "A bunch of trash." In just half a month, nearly half of Liaodong fell into the hands of Yan Wushuang. If this continues, it won't be long before Yan Wushuang will have to fight to the capital.

When it was dark, the emperor got two good news. The good news is that King Jing is safe and sound and is on his way back to Beijing. The second good news is that Lord Jiang Hou did not take refuge in Yan Wushuang, but was imprisoned by Yan Wushuang.

The emperor finally looked better, and immediately issued an imperial decree to withdraw all the officers and soldiers who besieged the Jiang family.

Thinking that the Empress Dowager Song has been worrying about King Jing's safety recently, he stood up and said, "Go to the Palace of Compassion."

Or let him tell the Queen Mother himself.

A look of panic flashed across Li Debao's face, but he quickly lowered his head. The emperor walked ahead and did not notice Li Debao's strangeness.

When they arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, they didn't let anyone tell them, and walked in directly. Outside the palace, the emperor saw Madam Si.

Before the emperor opened his mouth to ask, he heard a sound of weeping and crying from the room, as well as the man's loud panting. The emperor is not a brat either. Hearing these voices, there is nothing he can't understand.

Si Momo knelt on the ground limply and begged loudly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

The emperor kicked Madam Si away, opened the curtain and strode into the palace. Looking at the messy clothes under the bed, the emperor's face was instantly livid: "Come on, get out of here."

Almost instantly, a handsome man with long hair rolled down from the bed. This person only wore a pair of obscene trousers, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor spares my life, I beg the emperor to spare my life..."

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Throw it out and feed it to the dogs."

Li Debao called another eunuch to drag him out. Now in the room, only the emperor and the Empress Dowager Song were left, and the Empress Dowager Song curled up on the bed without making a sound.

Yuchen got the news the next day that King Jing was fine. Yuchen showed a sad face and said: "Did you say when the prince will come back?"

Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "I believe I'll be back soon." As long as she's okay, it doesn't matter if she's two days late.

Yuchen thought of the recent incidents in the court, and fell into deep worry again, saying: "Once Yan Wushuang occupies Liaodong, the capital will be in jeopardy." Rebellions in other places will at least not endanger the capital. But Liaodong is really too close to the capital.

Nanny Gui was also worried, but it was useless to worry about such things. Nanny Gui immediately changed the subject and said, "After the prince comes back, the son should also be delivered."

Yuchen was really reluctant to send his son to the upper study: "Let's talk about it later!"

At noon when she was dying, Nanny Gui got the news, her face changed slightly. Entering the room, he lowered his voice and said to Yuchen: "Princess, last night an assassin assassinated the Queen Mother, and most of the people in the Palace of Compassionate Ning were killed or injured. Those who survived were all arrested by the Department of Prudence." Entering the Department of Prudence is equivalent to dead.

Yuchen was excited and asked: "Assassin?" Could it be that Yan Wushuang assassinated the Queen Mother. Impossible, Yan Wushuang should also assassinate the emperor if he wants to assassinate, how could he go to such lengths to kill the Empress Dowager Song.

Nanny Gui was silent for a moment, then said: "The information I got said that it was an assassination by an assassin, but fortunately, the Queen Mother is safe and sound."

Yuchen said: "Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace." The Queen Mother Song was assassinated, and she, the daughter-in-law, must have to watch it, otherwise, she would have to be challenged.

Nanny Gui nodded and said, "I'll go with the princess!"

When I saw the palace, I only saw the empress, not the Empress Dowager Song. The queen said: "Sisters and sisters, the queen mother was frightened last night, and now she doesn't want to see anyone." The emperor said to the queen that the assassin touched the palace of compassion and assassinated the queen mother of song, and then scolded the queen severely. The queen manages the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and assassins get involved in it, which is the queen's dereliction of duty. The queen knew what was going on in her heart, but she just pretended not to know.

Yuchen nodded and said, "Okay." The last thing you want in the royal family is curiosity. The less you know, the safer you are. Even if you know, you have to pretend not to know.

After seeing off Yuchen, the queen asked Jin Nai who was beside her and said, "What's the situation in the Palace of Compassion and Peace?" Adultery is not tolerated in ordinary people, let alone in the royal family. The Empress Dowager Song is now under house arrest by the emperor in the Cining Palace.

Nanny Jin said: "Your Majesty, the people in the Palace of Compassion and Peace are all the Emperor's people, and we can't find any information for the time being." The Empress Dowager Song has already been rejected by the Emperor.

A smile crossed the corner of the queen's mouth, and she said, "This is just the beginning." Only after being rejected by the emperor can she really deal with the Queen Mother Song.

Nanny Jin was a little worried, and said: "Your Majesty, let's do it after a while!" If you do it now, once the emperor finds out, there will be endless troubles.

The queen straightened her clothes and said: "After a while, the emperor will definitely send that poisonous woman away from the palace, and it will not be too late to do so." Having such a lewd/slutty mother is a disgrace to the emperor. The Emperor is so likely willing to **** see her and hear her.

Only then did Grandma Jin heave a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the empress could not help but do it now. Now the Empress Dowager Song is surrounded by the emperor's people, and the emperor will know if there is any movement.

Yuchen left the palace, got into her own carriage, and finally stopped putting on a straight face: "I'm afraid something happened." She placed someone in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she was very clear about what the Queen Mother Song had done. It's just that I didn't expect to find out so quickly.

Nanny Gui was also a little scared: "The empress is too courageous." In order to get revenge, she actually plotted against the Empress Dowager Song like this.

Yuchen said: "I can't blame anyone for this matter, I can only blame her for being too daring?" With other methods, the Empress Dowager Song cannot be dealt with. Poisoning, the Empress Dowager Song was very careful about her food, so that she could not be poisoned. Direct assassination is not only difficult to do, but also very likely to be detected. And if he did this, it probably wouldn't be able to appease the hatred in Yu Xiyu's heart.

Nanny Gui shook her head, not knowing what to say.

Yuchen was a little worried, and said: "If the prince knows about this, I don't know if I can bear it!" Meeting such a biological mother, it would be embarrassing to be a child.

Nanny Gui said: "The emperor probably wouldn't tell King Jing about this." How could the emperor say such a shameful thing?

Yuchen said: "You have committed too many crimes, and you will be punished in the end." Not to mention the murders that the Queen Mother Song committed before. As far as the matter of the eldest grandson is concerned, everyone uses their lives to protect their grandson, but she let her own grandson die for her. Whoever it is, is full of hatred.

ps: Huh... My stomach hurts all day today. The update in the next few days is estimated to be at night, sorry. R8
