Chapter 234 The Concubine Was Pampered to the Sky 19
When the Emperor saw the Empress Dowager, she insisted on going to the main hall, and he did not object.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"
"Long live the Queen Mother! Long live the Queen Mother!"
The hall was already filled with civil and military officials, who immediately knelt down and paid homage to the emperor and the empress dowager upon seeing them.
The emperor sat on the highest dragon throne, while the empress dowager sat on his right, a little below the dragon throne.
Although she is the mother, the emperor is the supreme ruler and his position is still higher than hers.
"Everyone, I love you."
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please help me. My young daughter died tragically.
I just got pregnant and Prince An stabbed me in the throat with a sword. Please, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, help me!"
After Prime Minister Zhang stood up, he walked out again and immediately knelt down.
After hearing his words, the court fell silent for a moment, because it was the fact. Prince An killed his princess in front of so many people.
"Lord Zhang, I understand how you feel right now, and I believe the Queen Mother will give you justice."
The emperor soothed.
"Queen Mother, I hope you will do justice!"
Prime Minister Zhang slammed his forehead heavily on the ground.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I will give you an explanation."
The Queen Mother then continued, "Prince An accidentally killed the princess, so he should accept the punishment.
But the main culprit is Chen Wanqing. She was the one who instigated the relationship between Prince An and the Princess. She deserves to be killed."
The Queen Mother then called out to the outside of the palace, "Come here, take Prince An away and give him 20 strokes of the cane first."
"Queen Mother, that evil woman should be killed. If it weren't for her, my daughter wouldn't have been killed.
But the punishment for Prince An was too light. He favored his concubine and killed his wife, which was a violation of the laws of the Gu Dynasty.
If everyone is like him, then there will be chaos. What is the use of the country's laws? "
Prime Minister Zhang was unwilling to accept the punishment of 20 strokes of the cane.
Their Gu Dynasty has regulations: a wife is a wife and a concubine is a concubine. Favoring a concubine and abandoning the wife is a violation of the national law.
"Yes! Queen Mother, if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. I hope you will think twice!"
"Queen Mother, the punishment for Prince An is too light. How can we make the ministers accept it?"
"Queen Mother, Prince An has been naughty since he was young, and he does things recklessly.
If the Queen Mother continues to shield him like this, it will only make him more lawless. I hope the Queen Mother will punish him more severely."
"Queen Mother, Prince An enjoys the support of the people, but he does things that are against morality. He doesn't deserve it."
"Queen Mother, Prince An should be severely punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people."
The officials knelt down one after another, and in the end the Empress Dowager couldn't tell who was speaking.
Soon, more than half of the people were kneeling in the hall, but there were still a small number of people who did not kneel.
However, when the emperor looked over, some people knelt down again.
The people here are not stupid. They naturally know that these things must involve internal struggles within their royal family, and no one wants to be cannon fodder.
"Mother, you can't act on your own anymore, otherwise it will affect the court."
The emperor spoke appropriately.
“Your Majesty, I feel that Prince An is young and immature, easily impulsive, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes.
Otherwise, give him 50 lashes, lock him up for half a year, and let the Queen Mother teach him more."
Just at this moment, the mighty general walked in from outside the hall.
He is the empress dowager's elder brother and a mighty general appointed by the late emperor himself. He is in charge of the 20 troops under the empress dowager's command.
He is now old and rarely comes to the court.
“I have worked hard for the court for half my life, but is this the fate of my daughter?
"Mighty General, if it was your child who was killed, would you also take it so lightly?"
Prime Minister Zhang was a little angry when he saw him coming. Usually, this old man rarely attended court and was always in poor health.
But he came at this time, obviously to protect the Queen Mother.
"Otherwise, what do you want? Do you want King An's life?"
The mighty general did not give in at all.
"No, but I also want justice for my daughter. Otherwise, I will die in this palace today and I will get justice."
After saying this, Prime Minister Zhang was about to run into the pillar.
Other officials nearby quickly grabbed him.
"enough."
The emperor roared angrily and immediately spoke.
"Prince An acted recklessly, killing his pregnant queen, favoring his concubine over his wife, and flouting the laws of our dynasty.
From today on, his status as Prince An will be abolished, he will be demoted to a commoner, and exiled to Lingnan immediately. Without my permission, he will never be allowed to return to the capital. "
"No, Emperor."
The Queen Mother also became angry when she heard his words. She patted the stool and stood up.
"He is your own brother. The Emperor should think twice."
"Your Majesty is wise! Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Prime Minister Zhang quickly knelt down to express his gratitude, and other civil and military officials also shouted "Long live the emperor".
"Mother, the people's hearts are with me, even if I am the emperor, I cannot do whatever I want.
Gu Yiyan should be punished for his mistakes. I cannot protect him just because he is my brother. I cannot let him act lawless and defy the law."
This time the emperor did not give in. The result he wanted was about to be achieved, so he naturally would not give in.
"Who dares to touch my son? Unless you want to kill me, his mother."
The Queen Mother walked up to the Emperor and glared at him.
"Mother!"
The emperor cried out and could say nothing more.
He hated it in his heart. As a mother, he always protected his younger brother unconditionally, but what was he, her son, to her?
"Queen Mother!"
Prime Minister Zhang kept kowtowing to the Queen Mother.
"I am making this clear today. If anyone dares to touch my son, I will exterminate all his clans."
"General Weiwu, listen to my order and immediately dispatch 20 troops to Beijing."
The Queen Mother immediately gave the order.
Everyone was shocked by him!
"Mother!"
The emperor was also shocked by her action. He did not expect that his mother would be so anxious that she would dispatch troops.
"Mother, you are dispatching 20 troops to Beijing. Do you know that doing so will have an impact on our entire Gu Kingdom? The All Nations will immediately start a rebellion."
"I don't care. I just know that whoever dares to touch my son will have no chance of getting away with it."
The Queen Mother wanted to leave after she finished speaking.
The emperor immediately walked over and grabbed her, and a silver needle appeared in his hand and pierced into her hand.
"Mother, please don't be like this. We are all family. If there is anything, we can discuss it properly. I will also consider it. Is that okay?"
The Queen Mother was now so angry that she didn't notice the prick on her hand at all.
"The Emperor is also my son. As long as you don't embarrass your brother, the Queen Mother will naturally not embarrass you."
"Okay, I'll take note of what my mother said."
The emperor let go of her hand and said, "It's your own choice, don't blame me."
The emperor watched the empress dowager pulling his good brother away.
"Don't make such foolish mistakes again. Your mother is old and can't protect you for long."
The Queen Mother was also somewhat exhausted, as this time it was indeed her son's fault.
Her actions would dishearten all the civil and military officials, but she could not care less because she could not let her youngest son suffer.
"Mother, if I can't take the highest position, I will always be the passive one.
If my mother really wants to keep me safe for the rest of my life, then she has to make other plans, otherwise I will be killed sooner or later."
He remained silent just now because he wanted to retreat and advance so that his mother could make other plans.
