Jushou nodded. "Madam is right, but you don't know Shen Zhengnan is a man. If there are many martyrs in Jizhou, then Shen Zhengnan is a martyr among martyrs."

He paused for a moment, and said word by word: "It's better to bend than to bend."

Madam Yuan held her breath, then slowly let it out again, repeating this three times.

"I tried my best, but..." She stared into Jushou's eyes. "You tell him, I won't let him go."

Ju Shou nodded solemnly. "Ma'am, I will definitely bring it."

-

Ju Shou bowed and retreated, Madam Yuan's anger still persisted, her face turned green and pale.

Yuan Tan was also frightened.

The matchmaker will use his younger siblings as hostages to coerce Yang Biao to come forward and negotiate with the imperial court?

It sounds exaggerated, but this is indeed something that auditing can do.

Based on his understanding of Shen Pei, if Shen Pei really has this intention, then the danger is not only Yuan Shao's wives and concubines and daughters in Yecheng, but also the family members of the Ruying lineage, and of course Yuan Xi who is in command of the army.

Therefore, it is not only Yang Biao who is going to stand up for him, but the entire Ruying family.It's just that Yang Biao has the highest official position and the greatest influence, so he has the greatest hope in being assigned.

Madam Yuan gradually regained her composure. "Xiansi, invite Guo Gongze and Xun Youruo to come."

Yuan Tan didn't dare to neglect, so he got up immediately and went to invite Guo Tu and Xun Chen.

After listening to Yuan Tan's explanation, Guo Tu and Xun Chen broke out in a cold sweat.

Their family members are all in Yecheng, and now they are also hostages in the hands of the interrogator.And based on their understanding of the trial match, if the negotiation fails, the trial match is really likely to die together, dragging their family members to be buried with them.

This loss is too great, and their family may even lose one or two generations, and they will not be able to recover for decades.

When they came to Madam Yuan, before Madam Yuan could speak, they knelt down.

Seeing this posture, Madam Yuan knew that she didn't need to speak.

Jushou didn't lie, Jianpei is really a ruthless person.

"Gentlemen, please get up." Madam Yuan held her forehead, feeling her blood vessels throbbing violently.

She came all the way, only thinking about how to persuade Yuan Shao, never thinking of facing this situation.The lives of hundreds of people were suddenly placed on her shoulders, which made her a little out of breath.

"What kind of request might the trial match make?" Madam Yuan stroked her forehead. "He can't ask the imperial court to issue an edict to worship a few Jizhou people as ministers?"

Guo Tu exchanged glances with Xun Chen, got up and said: "The trial and match is domineering. Now that the boat is broken, there is really nothing he can't do. It is really impossible to force the court to worship a person from Jizhou as a minister, but asking the court to do it for you It is possible for Empress Guo to be rehabilitated."

"Queen Guo?" Madam Yuan frowned slightly. "How long ago is this, as for?"

"I don't know what my wife is. In the eyes of many Jizhou people, the loss of Jizhou people in this dynasty started from Guo's aftermath. If it weren't for the abolition of the year, Liu Qiang, the king of the East China Sea, would be the heir, and the imperial line would be the blood of Jizhou. If so, it will be true. It must be the hometown of the emperor, and Jizhou is also blessed."

Guo Tu spread his hands helplessly. "In the past few years, we have heard a lot of similar reasons."

Mrs. Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, she felt that it was extremely absurd.

But when you think about it, it seems normal.

People from Jizhou are extreme, so why not people from Ruying.After two times of party imprisonment, the people of Ruying shouldered a burden that was difficult to let go, until they embarked on the road of supporting Yuan Shao and becoming an enemy of the imperial court.

"This feeling is forgivable, but this reasoning is intolerable." Madam Yuan sighed, "The Son of Heaven will not overthrow the story of Emperor Guangwu for such absurd reasons. Even if the Son of Heaven is enlightened and willing to accept this condition, so what? The Son of Heaven is going to compensate the people of Jizhou for their losses over the years? This is obviously..."

Xun Chen got up. "Ma'am, I'm afraid the purpose of the interrogation is related to Du Tian."

Mrs. Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

When Empress Guo was abolished, it was related to Emperor Guangwu's promotion of Dutian.Liu Qiang even intensified the conflict because of Dutian, and both sides were on the verge of riding a tiger, so he had to take the initiative to resign from the position of prince to appease Emperor Guangwu's anger.

Emperor Guangwu forced Dutian, from the abolition of the queen to the replacement of the prince, and two solar eclipses were involved in the middle, which was a major event in the early years of the dynasty.

If the trial and appointment can allow the court to vindicate Queen Guo, it can then find a basis for opposing Dutian.In this way, he may even get the tacit support of Shandong scholar-bureaucrats, thus getting away.

Madam Yuan glanced at Guo Tu and Xun Chen, and couldn't help but sneer.

"The judge dares to act recklessly like this, I'm afraid you are sure that you will agree with him? If so, I need to remind you. Dutian is a general trend, and no one can stop it. If you block the car with your arms, you will only be smashed to pieces."

Chapter 794

Seeing Mrs. Yuan's firm attitude, Guo Tu was very surprised.

He originally thought that Mrs. Yuan would consider Yuan's and secretly contribute to the flames.

After all, the Yuan family in Runan is the head of the Shandong family, with a lot of land.Yuan Shu was stubborn, and he wanted to kill Yuan Shao at the expense of others and benefit himself, Madam Yuan would not fail to consider her mother's family.

Never expected that Mrs. Yuan was more determined than Yuan Shu.

He quietly glanced at Xun Chen.

After Xun Chen returned from Chang'an, his attitude towards Dutian was somewhat ambiguous.Although it is not supportive, it is not so fiercely opposed.He always thought that Xun Chen's change of attitude was in exchange for some kind of benefit, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

Xun Chen responded with a wry smile.

Seeing the expressions of Guo Tu and Xun Chen, Mrs. Yuan somewhat understood the reason.

She waved. "I can't blame you for this. The imperial court's new policy has far-reaching intentions. It's hard to understand unless you experience it yourself. When you arrive in Chang'an, you will gradually understand. That's it. I can control it."

Madam Yuan sighed. "It's really self-inflicted, I can't live."

Guo Tu and Xun Chen froze, speechless.

Madam Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "Until Yecheng is pacified, don't mention going to the Western Regions. Just in case..." She sighed. "Always save some blood."

Guo Tu and Xun Chen's faces were even more ugly.

Obviously, Mrs. Yuan had no hope of the emperor agreeing to the interrogation request. She felt that Yuan Xi and others would surely die, so she opposed Yuan Tan's plan to go to the Western Regions and wanted to save Yuan Shao's blood.

Yuan Shao still has Yuan Tan, and their family members are all in Yecheng.

The more they thought about it, the more they hated Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's sudden dispatch of troops not only caught Yuan Shao by surprise, but also caught them all by surprise.If they had known this earlier, they should have at least picked up their family members from Yecheng.

It's too late to say anything now.

-

Changan.

Liu Xie sat in the greenhouse hall, but his mind was not on official business. He anxiously waited for the news from Jiaofang hall.

Empress Fushou was pregnant in October and gave birth today, but the situation is not good.

She had a difficult labor.

The stomach has been hurting for two days and one night, but the baby has not been born.At first Fushou was able to grit his teeth, not letting himself cry out, trying to keep the Queen's dignity as much as possible, but now the pain was so painful that his screams became louder than the last.

Liu Xie wanted to see it very much, but was stopped by the officials.

Pregnancy and childbirth are bad things for a woman. According to the rules, she can't even live in the main house, and she has to move out to live alone.Now that the situation is simple, the queen was able to give birth in Jiaofangdian, which is already breaking the rules. Maybe this is the reason for the dystocia.

Let the emperor go to see the empress again, if the god of heaven gets angry and directly takes the empress' life, who will bear the responsibility?

Liu Xie didn't take it seriously at first, but he finally gave up after looking at the way the imperial physician of the imperial medical office was admonishing him with death.

Just because he doesn't believe it doesn't mean others don't believe it either.The queen had dystocia, and they were already very nervous, so he couldn't do much to help them if he went, and he couldn't add unnecessary pressure to them.

He was waiting for the news in the Greenhouse Hall.

"Your Majesty..." An imperial physician rushed in.

"Give birth?" Liu Xie jumped up.

The imperial physician was startled and shook his head quickly. "Not yet. Physician Hua said that the situation is critical and there is only one way."

"any solution?"

"Cesarean section."

Liu Xie was taken aback, and then said, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it."

The imperial physician was sweating profusely and cupped his hands repeatedly. "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Hua said that the queen's condition is particularly dangerous. After the caesarean section, she may lose too much blood and endanger her life. And if the uterus is injured, even if she can save her life, she may not be able to conceive in the future."

Liu Xie was stunned.

He knew why Hua Tuo had hesitated until now.

With the current medical conditions, Hua Tuo can't achieve the best of both worlds. Even if the queen can be saved, she may never be able to conceive again.

The queen's inability to conceive is not only as simple as being unable to have children, but it will affect the balance of power in the palace.

The queen who failed to give birth to a prince will inevitably lack confidence in the face of the nobles who gave birth to a prince.

Situ Yang Biao walked quickly, and was surprised to see the imperial physician standing in front of the emperor, sweating and terrified.

"The queen...hasn't given birth yet?"

Liu Xie frowned, and briefly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief.He thought the queen was dead.He turned around and asked the imperial physician, "Did Imperial Physician Hua ever say, is the queen's womb a prince or a princess?"

"The queen's pulse condition is disordered, and it is impossible to judge."

Yang Biao frowned, turned to look at Liu Xie, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why not..."

Liu Xie raised his hand and interrupted Yang Biao. "Let the Imperial Physician Hua do his best to ensure the queen's safety."

The imperial physician raised his head and stared at Liu Xie again and again.

Liu Xie was furious, and yelled: "What are you waiting for, go quickly. Regardless of whether it is the prince or the emperor's daughter, the queen's life is the priority."

"Wei!" The imperial physician bowed to accept the order, turned around and left in a hurry.

Yang Biao sighed softly. "Your Majesty, I think it's wrong."

Liu Xie raised his hand and interrupted Yang Biao. "Duke Yang suddenly entered the palace, what's the hurry?"

He knew what Yang Biao meant.

Since Fushou will not be able to conceive again even if she is rescued, why not take a bet on whether she will give birth to a boy or a girl.If the child was a prince, then Fushou's death would be worth it.If she gave birth to an imperial daughter, it would only be her bad luck.But it is better to have the blood to stay than to have no birth at all.

But he doesn't think so.

Not to mention that as long as Fushou is alive, he can keep her queen position and save others from coveting her. As far as personal feelings are concerned, he can't just watch Fushou die like this.

The problem of protecting the big and the young has never been a problem for him.

Even if Fushou is not his only woman now, it is not as simple as his wife.

In his opinion, this is first of all a person, a real person, more important than a child he has never met.

This kind of truth cannot be explained to Yang Biao, so Gan Gang can only make arbitrary decisions.

Seeing that Liu Xie was determined and had no intention of discussing with him at all, Yang Biao had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

He was a little hesitant, wondering if he should tell the emperor about the news he had just received.

It is absurd that Shenpei might coerce the family members of Yuan Shao and Ruying to ask the court to re-examine the status of Jizhou.

But he had no choice but to report, after all, the judge had hundreds of lives in his hands, and they were not ordinary people, but the vitality of the Ruying family.If you just give up like this, it will seriously affect the morale of Ruying people and cause unnecessary turmoil.

But the timing was too unlucky, and it happened that the queen had dystocia.

He originally thought that the empress should have given birth. With the temper of the emperor, whether it is a prince or an emperor's daughter, it is a happy event, and it may be easier to talk about it.

"Duke Yang?" Liu Xie urged impatiently.

Yang Biao had no choice but to take out Mrs. Yuan's letter and briefly explained the situation.

Liu Xie didn't take Mrs. Yuan's letter, but just listened to what Yang Biao said. After listening, he asked a question lightly.

"Mr. Yang thinks how to deal with it?"

"I thought the trial match was absurd, but..."

"I also think it's ridiculous." Liu Xie shook his head, speaking slowly, but there was no doubt about it. "I have already understood the matter of Empress Guo, and I don't think Emperor Guangwu owes her anything. It is really stupid for the judge to try to bargain with the court. That's all, there is no need to discuss this matter again. The judge is willing to surrender, Naturally, it is better. If you refuse to surrender, I will personally lead an army to defeat Yecheng and punish his three clans."

Chapter 795

Liu Xie did not tell lies.

After learning that the Jizhou people had a heart knot, he carefully studied the historical events of Guo Shengtong and Liu Qiang, the king of the East China Sea.

Strictly speaking, Guo Shengtong was to blame for the abolition of the empress.

In the imperial edict after the abolition, there are words "there is no virtue of "Guanju", but the style of Lu and Huo", which shows that Guo Shengtong is not a gentle person.If what is said is not true, given the strength of the ministers of the Guangwu Dynasty, I am afraid that they will not accept this reason for abolishing the empress.
