Those who are in urgent need can go to the designated place outside Fengtian Gate to relieve themselves. There are also eunuchs who provide tea and fans to the adults. Although they cannot eat, the service is considered attentive.
"Brother Xang, the national battle..."
As soon as the mother and son walked to the aisle, Queen Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and asked about her father.
Jiadingbo's answer in the main hall just now was indeed a bit annoying, but Queen Zhou thought she knew her father's family background.
If the eldest son insists on asking his grandfather to spend a huge sum of money, he can't do it no matter what.
At this time, of course, I cannot let the grandfather and grandson turn against each other, and must reconcile them.
"I dare to ask my mother, how much money does she think grandpa has accumulated over the years?"
From eunuchs to state warriors, everyone is extremely rich and they are all fat sheep walking sideways.
The scapegoat doesn't know your family background, but I have a good background. If I don't kill you, how long will I wait?
If Zhou Kui is not attacked, all the distinguished officials and military officials in the court will use this as an excuse to attack me.
Then there is no need to keep this cheap grandpa, just get rid of him as soon as he comes up. It will be better for everyone.
Empress Zhou frowned slightly, biting her cherry lips with her white teeth. After thinking for a moment, she replied: "I don't think it's much. If Brother Hong is worried that the courtiers will be checked and balanced by this, why not let the queen mother give out 5,000 taels of silver for the national war?" ?”
The meaning of the beautiful biological mother is very simple and clear, that is, she is a peacemaker and is good to both the grandfather and the grandson. Everyone is in peace and it is as if nothing happened.
But this assumption is still based on the premise that the father's family background is completely unknown. Once the incident comes to light, it will be extremely difficult to seek shelter.
Yao Ji bowed his hands and saluted, and explained the reason: "Mother, what happened today is not that the son and ministers made things difficult for the country. Honorable nobles are determined that the law will not blame everyone. If the country takes the lead, the sons and ministers will be passive in all future meetings. Instead of that. , it is better to enforce the law impartially and destroy relatives with justice!"
Today I am being demolished in public, and this account must be settled!
Pretending to be poor?
Hum hum, I will make you really poor soon!
"Brother Xang, could it be that..."
After hearing this, Queen Zhou's eyes widened and she was frightened. She thought of the worst outcome, which was absolutely unavoidable.
It is said that the most ruthless people are the royal family, but you can't put your grandfather in jail for a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Yaoji saw his beautiful mother's worry, so he calmed her down with words: "Don't worry, queen, Guozhan is your son's grandfather after all. He has hard work even if he doesn't have any merit. Besides, blood is thicker than water!"
Killing Zhou Kui will hurt your beautiful mother to the core, so no matter how greedy this guy is, he must be well taken care of. Even if he is deprived of all his official positions and titles, he will not starve to death immediately. At least he can beg for food in the future. .
During the national war, my grandfather, who was the crown prince, was so miserable that he knelt on the street begging for food. Even just thinking about that scene makes me feel extremely sad, hahahahaha...
"...Brother Xun is right. It would be better for the queen mother to provide the funds."
After being told this, Queen Zhou finally felt relieved. Although the eldest son had always acted in an original way after returning from the fairy world, he was not deviant, and everything was on the right track.
To be on the safe side, Empress Zhou decided to pay the money on her father's behalf, so as to avoid direct conflict between the grandfather and grandson. She also knew her son and his father very well.
Once Guozhan continues to act crazy and act stupid at the court meeting, and complain about poverty, it will be really serious. If he angers the eldest son who is determined to regroup, he might really be imprisoned and spend a few days in jail.
In this case, where is the face of the royal family?
Once this matter is spread, it will definitely become a topic of discussion in the streets.
Yaoji declined the kindness of his beautiful biological mother, but made a simple comparison: "The queen does not need to spend money. I guess the queen knows the worth of the guilty minister Gao Qiqian, right?"
The Big4 in the back house is not built, and if you pick one out at random, its worth will make the dumping father stunned.
"Brother Xang, what do you mean? Could it be..."
Although Queen Zhou has lived in the palace for a long time and has no interest in state affairs, she is not just a concubine who only cares about pampering and having fun. In addition, she is very smart and can usually understand all the truth.
Could it be that Brother Hong has already found out something from other channels?
Could it be that his father was deliberately concealing his wealth?
Queen Zhou suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Yaoji took a deep breath, then looked at the blue sky in the distance with his hands behind his back, and said quietly: "Maybe the national battle can give the queen a big surprise!"
To quote a wise saying - I do not produce silver, I am just a carrier of silver!
I would like to sincerely thank my stingy and short-sighted grandpa. Without you as an "undercover" to take the lead, so many noble people would not have jumped into the pit voluntarily.
Therefore, our grandfather and grandson work together to cheat the nobles. This is what we call a family!
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Concubine Tian was horrified when she heard that her father had been arrested by the prince and ordered to ransack her home. She was deeply afraid that the mother and son would go back on their word and take advantage of this matter to harm her family. If the previously negotiated business was just an excuse to deal with yourself, then you have been deceived.
So after receiving the report from her subordinates, this beautiful woman rushed over anxiously to plead for mercy. She was afraid that if she was too late, her father would be imprisoned, waiting for evidence of the crime to be gathered, and then he would be executed in a busy place.
Yaoji saw the hurried way of the little wife who had dumped the father, and knew the purpose of her visit, so she asked knowingly: "Why is my aunt like this?"
Women in the concubine's residence must stay in the inner court and are not allowed to come to the outer court unless summoned by the emperor, otherwise they will be involved in politics. As the queen's beautiful biological mother, she was slandered by the ministers when she first arrived at the Huangji Palace.
"I heard that my father had spoken against His Highness, and I came here to apologize. I hope Your Highness, thinking of Your Majesty's holy family, can be given a lighter sentence. If there is anything that I can't do, Your Highness, just speak, and I will not dare to disobey!"
In this place, Concubine Tian couldn't speak the prince's nickname. She had to save face for the other party, otherwise she would anger the prince and be picked on at will, and the whole family would be imprisoned in an instant.
Moreover, it is much wiser to admit all the sins when they come than to insist that one has no faults at all. Nowadays, people are killed by swords, and I am fish and meat. I must bow my head and admit my mistakes before I can turn the danger into safety.
If you can't even figure out your own position, don't hang around in the palace anymore.
The beauty's charming appearance was pleasing to Yao Ji's eyes, and her soft words were also very helpful. The fragrance emanating from her delicate body made her cough, and she had to cover her mouth and nose with her dragon robe: "Tian Aiqing is not alone in this matter. Even Uncle Jiading was involved in what he did, and must be dealt with severely. However, aunt, you can rest assured that I will enforce the law impartially and without any selfish motives."
No matter what crime my cheap grandfather got, Tian Hongyu will get the same treatment. At worst, it would be better to have two brothers. From now on, we can go to the streets together to beg for orders, so we can take care of each other, hahahaha...
These two old bastards are so full that they dare to fool me in the main hall. Do you think I am a blame-shifter?
If there is really no way to extort money, then it is better to flee to Australia before the Qing army and the bandits reconcile inside and outside!
"...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a kind heart and noble moral character. I am deeply grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Although Concubine Tian was still extremely uneasy, she was extremely anxious about the outcome of the prince's treatment and worried that he would be angry with the Tian family, but she did not dare to continue to entangle her. Since the prince had already made a promise, it was best not to mess around.
I heard that thirty or forty nobles were arrested, and they should not all be executed. At least the two national warriors may be given a lighter sentence. Your Majesty is still in the immortal world, and the prince is unlikely to do anything that shocks the government and the public at the beginning of his supervision of the country. Come.
Seeing the figure of her number one love rival in the rear palace gradually disappearing, Queen Zhou just spoke: "How do you want Brother Hong to deal with the two national warlords?"
She was no less worried than Concubine Tian. On the contrary, she was a little worried because her father Zhou Kui was the first to contradict her son at the court meeting.
The queen is not entirely clear about her eldest son's political abilities and knowledge, and whether he can control the court is a big question mark.
The change of cabinet members and the punishment of most of the nobles just now show that Brother Xun's bold political skills are far superior to his father's courage and courage.
But this matter involves family members, especially one of them is Brother Hong's grandfather. In the face of national law and family ties, how to make a decision is a thorny issue.
Yaoji didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all. He smiled slightly and comforted him: "Please don't worry, Queen Mother, I have my own way!"
As a superior, the basic logic of this matter is: the prince can be immoral, but he cannot be lacking in money!
In the square outside the Huangji Hall, the Dongchang clan has circled dozens of square meters on the ground according to the names of the nobles, and also stamped a sign with their names in front to distinguish them. This is In the circle of belongings that will be moved in soon.
The ministers who had nothing to do with them all watched and waited for the show to unfold, especially the three princes who claimed that they were so poor that they ate wild vegetables and soybeans, and the two princes who boldly cried about poverty at the court meeting.
Looking at this posture, the prince was really angry and wanted to get serious. Even Dongchang was mobilized to ransack the house. If nothing valuable was found, it would be a disgrace.
However, there are also ministers who are optimistic about the prince. This time it is a raid, and the nobles' homes are completely unprepared. Nine times out of ten, they will be caught, and the prototype will be revealed.
Forty-one unlucky nobles secretly cried out that something was wrong, but they were helpless in the face of the heavily armed Dongchang vassal. The prince had an order that anyone who died after running into a wall on his own would commit suicide out of fear of crime, and his family members would all be beaten. Enter the heavenly prison and listen to the news of the marquis.
Generally speaking, there are only a few paths open to the guilty subject's family.
First, he was executed by the whole family.
Second, he was forced into slavery.
Third, they were demoted to common people.
Before that, I have to kneel down and thank the Holy Grace...
