Xuanyuan Hao was angry for no reason. As a superior, the two words he disliked hearing the most were "rebellion". As long as such a situation occurred, there was no need to ask. No matter who sat on the throne, the first reaction would be Just send troops to suppress it immediately.
The word riot is the prelude to rebellion. No matter what your reason is, suppress the matter first, and killing is the easiest way.
Xuanyuan Hao said: "The salt industry has always been in the hands of the high-ranking scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the imperial court can't get involved. Now that there is a riot, we should directly suppress the untouchables, and let the intellectual families take a look at the attitude of the imperial court.
But according to the opinions of all my dear friends, it may not necessarily take more than a few months. "
Prime Minister Wen said hurriedly: "We can find another way to deal with the salt tax, but we must not fight violence with violence in the case of Wucheng. These are unarmed people. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Several other ministers also agreed. Xuanyuan Hao was angry and looked unhappy. Su Linglong reached out and touched Xuanyuan Hao's chest. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I said to you, the Emperor is the only one in this world." It's just a matter of killing a few people, what's the big deal?
If the emperor is so angry because of a few mud-legged people who can't even afford salt, then that's not right. "
Xuanyuan Hao was relieved by Su Linglong's words, and he made the decision on the spot, "It is my decree to order the defenders closest to Wucheng to rush to Wucheng immediately and arrest all the untouchables who launched the riot. The first offender will be directly punished." Behead him as a warning to others, and punish those who follow him with five years of hard labor."
Prime Minister Wen and others didn't look good when they came out of the Palace of Eternal Life. They happened to run into Ning Yue and said, "I have met the Queen."
"A few of the adults are exempt from the courtesy. The adults are busy with official matters and it is quite tiring to walk such a long distance. Mr. Chai will send some sedan chairs to the adults."
Wen, the Prime Minister and the others quickly thanked them, so that the Queen could still see their hard work. As for the two people inside, hey, let's not mention it.
Ning Yue watched several adults leave before entering the Palace of Eternal Life. Because Su Linglong was there who wanted to show off, Ning Yue naturally understood what happened just now.
"Empress, do you think those ministers can't live too much?
Even though our emperor has already said that he will send troops to quell the chaos, they are still making noises. Isn't this deliberately making our emperor feel uncomfortable? "
Ning Yue said: "It seems that Sister Linglong understands the Emperor best and understands what the Emperor is thinking. This batch of memorial changes should be left to Sister Linglong. I am really troubled by these mistakes."
How could Xuanyuan Hao be willing to listen to her? He still wanted to use this as a handle to control the queen. The queen was very useful and would not betray him. How could he leave such a useful person unused?
"That won't work, Linglong still has to serve, so these memorials can only be entrusted to the Queen.
There are a lot of things to do today. Queen, please go quickly. I am tired all morning and am really not feeling well. Su Cairen, help me go back and rest quickly. "
This time he really didn't talk nonsense. I don't know if he was too crazy yesterday. He touched the wound without knowing it. At this time, his right arm was in slight pain.
Su Linglong gritted her teeth. She felt unwilling but did not dare to show it in front of Xuanyuan Hao, so she could only help the emperor into the inner hall.
…
In the evening, Ning Yue returned to Kunning Palace and immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Ruhua, "Send this letter out of the palace as soon as possible."
When Ruhua heard the empress's instructions, she knew that the letter in her hand was very important, so she nodded solemnly. Just after midnight the next day, Ruhua took a small baggage to the inner chamber, and Jiang Jing received it in the afternoon of the same day. A letter sent from my daughter.
But when he saw the words on the letter, he was more and more shocked!
Everyone with a certain status in the court knew what happened in Wucheng. The emperor insisted on sending troops to quell the chaos. Prime Minister Wen and other ministers refused to listen to their advice. Unexpectedly, his daughter sent such a letter at night. !
The scientific examination ended yesterday, and the third child stayed at home, so he simply asked him to take some of the legitimate sons of the adults to do this.
The next day, Jiang Chengxi delivered letters to the young masters of several families. They met at Tianyue Tower and rushed to the coast together the next day.
In the palace.
After Xuanyuan Hao had been raised for so many days, the poison in his body had long been eliminated, and there had been a lot of trouble in the court recently, so he simply resumed the morning court.
However, in order not to damage his face, he took off the bandage when he went to court. The ministers saw that the emperor was recovering well, and they breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the emperor was really disabled or crippled. There wasn't even an heir to the throne.
After two days of this, Xuanyuan Hao found that his arm was a little swollen. Su Linglong was beside him at the time, her distressed eyes full of tears, "Your Majesty, if that doesn't work, just stop going to court for a few days. You are obviously tired. If anything happens, Because going to court affected the recovery of my right arm, I will be very distressed."
】
Xuanyuan Hao frowned and asked Su Linglong to help him change the medicine. Although he was also worried about the recovery of his right arm, he never said he would stop going to court for another two days.
"Ding, a temporary mission is issued: If you successfully prevent Xuanyuan Hao from making an appearance tomorrow morning, you will be rewarded with a bottle of recovery potion. After taking the potion, you will be able to recover instantly no matter how injured you are."
Su Linglong's joyful voice sounded: "Why didn't you come up with such a good system earlier? If I can cure the emperor's injury, he will definitely fall in love with me even more."
"What tasks are given and what rewards are beyond the control of this system. As long as the host works hard to complete the tasks, she can ascend to the position of queen and become the most noble woman in the world."
Su Linglong has great trust in her Beloved Concubine System. She will work hard to complete the tasks that the Beloved Concubine System asks her to do every time, and rarely fails. At this time, she is already determined to get the reward from the task, "Okay, I will definitely complete this task well."
009: [Host, why don’t we just take over that bullshit system? If that Su Linglong really completes the mission, Xuanyuan Hao's injury will definitely heal immediately. Then won't your plan be in vain? 】
Ning Yue: [Why are you anxious? Don't worry, she will definitely not be able to complete her mission. 】
Ning Yue took a short break during the review process, and the emperor just sent out the Chai Chai Manager. Ning Yue asked the maid to pour two cups of tea and invited Chai Chai Chai to taste it together.
"This, this servant thanks the Queen."
"Sit down. If there's nothing else, Mr. Chai will chat with me for a while."
Chai Liang immediately sat upright and understood that the queen had something to give, so he said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."
"Although the emperor has recovered from his injury in the past two days, those of us who serve the emperor know that his injury has not fully recovered, so we must pay more attention to the emperor's health at this time."
Chai Liang said hurriedly: "I know that I will take good care of the emperor."
