Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

"My minister sees the emperor."

Yan Qing stepped forward and saluted Emperor Xuande.

"Without courtesy." Emperor Xuande asked, "Mr. Yan, how come Governor Chen is in your hands?"

"I was entrusted by the princess to secretly leave the capital to arrest Magistrate Chen and bring him to justice." Yan Qing replied.

Shen Yan explained to Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, when Magistrate Chen took people to Changyang County to take Zhang Hongfang away, I guessed that he would report to the people above him. Once he reported the message, it would prove that he had been exposed. The people will definitely kill him to silence him and eliminate all evidence of his crime."

"I secretly wrote to Mr. Yan, asking for his help, and secretly led people to arrest Magistrate Chen. This matter can only be done secretly. Once the news is leaked, if the other party is faster than us, Magistrate Chen, the key witness, will die."

Yan Qing looked at Shen Yan with deep joy in his heart. He was extremely honored to have Shen Yan's trust and trust.

"Your Majesty, Princess Anping's guess was absolutely correct. When I arrived with my people, Magistrate Chen was being besieged and he almost died."

"Your Majesty, I made the decision without authorization. Please punish me." Shen Yan apologized.

"What are you guilty of? I think you have done a very good job and should be rewarded, not punished."

Emperor Xuande was glad that Shen Yan was loyal to the emperor and patriotic and cared about the people. Otherwise, with Shen Yan's intelligence and talent, if he stood on the opposite side of the court, he would definitely overthrow the dynasty.

"Prefect Chen." Emperor Xuande said coldly.

"The guilty minister is here." Magistrate Chen has been kneeling on the ground since he entered the palace.

"I remember that you came to Beijing two years ago to report on your work. You talked eloquently, were confident and steady, and always put the people first in everything you did. I was very optimistic about you at the time and planned to transfer you to the capital in two years. , and I have reserved a place for you in Beijing."

Emperor Xuande's face was full of disappointment, "I didn't expect that at that time you had already begun to take bribes and pervert the law, deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, everything you said and did was false!"

If Magistrate Chen had not done these bad things, with his abilities, he could have been transferred to the capital and entered the Sixth Department.

Pity!

No matter how talented a person is, if he does not use it on the right path but harms the people and harms the interests of others, then there is no need to keep this person.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I have betrayed your Majesty's trust and respect, and I deserve death!"

Magistrate Chen burst into tears.

Why does he want to become the paw of the Queen Mother? Isn't it because he wants to use the Queen Mother to rise to the top?

But now that he heard Emperor Xuande's words, he suddenly felt regretful.

It turned out that Emperor Xuande had already prepared for him the great future he had always wanted, a high-ranking official and a generous salary.

But he wanted to find another way, which ultimately ruined his future and embarked on a path of no return.

If he abides by his duty, if he is loyal to the emperor and loves the people, if he...

Unfortunately, there is no if!

"You deserve to die!" Emperor Xuande was very sad. He was an emperor who cherished his talents.

For example, Shen Yan was the most perfect minister in his heart, and he was willing to give her supreme power and trust.

Magistrate Chen buried his head on the ground with so much regret that he no longer even had the heart to beg for mercy.

"Tell me, tell me how you have deceived me over the years and caused harm to the people." Emperor Xuande said coldly.

"Your Majesty, this is the Queen Mother. She ordered the envoy to do this."

Magistrate Chen has always been loyal to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother wants his life and kills him to silence him.

He betrayed Emperor Xuande, but Emperor Xuande prepared a great future for him.

At the critical moment of life and death, Magistrate Chen did not hesitate. He chose Emperor Xuande and was loyal to this benevolent king.

"The Queen Mother wants to conquer the world, she needs silver support, and I am the source of her silver support."

"Presumptuous!" the Queen Mother roared, "Prefect Chen, don't talk nonsense! You are slandering the Ai family!"

At this time, she was obviously lacking in confidence, but her pride and self-esteem did not allow her to bow her head.

"Your Majesty, I have evidence!" Magistrate Chen said, "The letters exchanged between the Queen Mother and me over the years, as well as the money I handed over to the Queen Mother every year, have also been accounted for. I have kept both the letters and the ledger. "

"Your Majesty, these are letters and account books." Yan Qing presented the evidence to Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande took it and opened a letter at random. It was the Queen Mother asking Magistrate Chen for money, but she wrote it very tactfully.

Looking at the account book again, over the past few years, Magistrate Chen has handed over hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Queen Mother.

These are the hard-earned money of ordinary people. They may also be life-saving money and the hope of a family's survival.

"Queen Mother, look what you have done!!" Emperor Xuande was so angry that he threw the account books and letters directly in front of the Queen Mother.

The account book is thick and firmly placed in front of the Queen Mother.

The letter was light and fluttering in front of the Queen Mother, then slowly fell and scattered all over the floor.

The Queen Mother's body trembled, and Cong Xue beside her had already knelt down. No one was helping her. She gritted her teeth and tried to keep herself steady.

Her hands were shaking, and she knew the letters were from her hands without even looking at them.

The day came anyway, and no matter how hard she tried, it still fell into Shen Yan's hands.

"Queen Mother, I treat you well. I give you the best for all your food and clothing. What else are you dissatisfied with? You actually colluded with the officials, coveted the court's tax revenue, destroyed the interests of the people, and even tried to seize my The world!"

Emperor Xuande was furious, "You are really unworthy of being the Queen Mother!"

"Do you treat me well?" The Queen Mother sneered, "In the heart of the emperor, no one can compare to your biological mother, right? Does the emperor respect the Ai family from the bottom of his heart? Treat the Ai family as his mother?"

"Compared with my mother and concubine, you are not worthy!" Emperor Xuande shouted.

"Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense. How do you plan to punish the Ai family? The Ai family has supported you for so many years. Although they have not given you any kindness, they have nurtured it. The kindness you have given is not as great as the kindness you have raised. Do you want to kill the Ai family? Unfilial son?" the Queen Mother asked.

Emperor Xuande looked at the Queen Mother, he really couldn't kill her.

He is the emperor of the world and cannot take the lead.

"The Queen Mother has done so many things that are harmful to nature and justice. Her virtue is not worthy of her position and she is not worthy of living in the palace. She will move to Puning Temple immediately to pray for the great Qin Dynasty."

Emperor Xuande said, "To show my sincerity, the Queen Mother cannot bring maids. She needs to take care of all her own life. I will send people to protect the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother does not work, she will have no food to eat, and if she does not wash her clothes, she will have no clothes. Let the Queen Mother taste it." Taste the hard work of the people."

This punishment is more cruel than killing the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother has been pampered since she was a child and has never touched the spring water. Where has she ever done any menial work?

Moreover, she is too old and cannot bear the fatigue. If she is asked to live a hard life, she doesn't know how long she can live.

She was furious, "Your Majesty! You have gone too far! I am your adoptive mother!"
