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. A bad move 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 was put back on, and slightly sideways looking at Ren Qingrui, who had an exquisite back 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 Ren Qingrui in front of her and the helpless family members standing 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 big that it is shocking to the bottom of my heart.
fight!
fight!
Besides fighting, let’s fight!
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 accompanying him in front of the dragon for a long time. How can he not understand the ways of maneuvering despite being exposed to him for decades?
It can be said that Nangong Meng is far more aware of these sects above 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 dethrone you from 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 sect's commanding officer who was kneeling in the palace, looked stunned and was hesitating whether to stand up. The third princess realized what she was doing and hurriedly walked up, ready to hold the queen's arm. His arms retreated behind the pillars.
"Yan'er, don't persuade the Ai family to just do politics. The Ai family only has a few years 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 ears. 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 thankful expression and sat back down again.
This muddy water is far more turbid than the previous muddy water, so you must not get involved.
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."
"Could it be that I, my concubine, have done everything wrong 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 Young Master Liu, who had a dull face.
"King Bingjian, is what the queen just said the truth?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and saluted: "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 imperial court, I had to ask the emperor Taizu Gao's instructions to be in 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 violated the majesty of the emperor and the 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, their worries unexpressed, 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 King Bingjian 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 pass 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 confusing 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 nodded reluctantly to Li Ye.
"I have obeyed the decree, and my matter can be forgotten. 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?"
"If my father is indeed embezzled and bribed, I, as the mother of a country, will naturally set an example and kill my 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 current 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 all the 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 Three 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 very good, Su An!"
"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, please withdraw from the court."
Many important ministers sighed when they saw Young Master Liu hesitating to speak, and shook their heads helplessly when they saw Li Ye.
"I have no source for this memorial, so I respectfully send it to Your Majesty."
"Then retreat."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"Your Majesty, there are other treasures in my house that have not 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 the order."
"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. He walked towards Li Ye with a bone-chilling feeling.
"Your Majesty, I will accompany you back!"
"I will just go back to the imperial study by myself, so I don't need to worry about it, Queen."
On the palace grounds, the civil and military officials who exited the Qinzheng Palace 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.
"Comrades, 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!"
"Farewell!"
"Yan'er, go home with your husband!"
"Husband, you?"
"The show has just begun!"
