I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

As soon as the Queen Mother said this, the guards in the hall took action. They stepped forward and arrested Liu Qiu, who was performing a self-torture trick.

The ministers did not expect that the Queen Mother would arrest someone without saying a word, and they looked at each other with sympathy.

The Right Prime Minister frowned and stepped out: "Empress Dowager, this is not in accordance with etiquette. First, the Minister of Rites is your majesty's grandfather, and arbitrarily detaining him is against filial piety; second, the reason why the Vice Minister of Justice was arrested is unknown. The Minister of Rites was wrong to rashly propose that he be convicted of the same crime as his brother. If the Empress Dowager takes it seriously, then your majesty will be in the wrong.

The laws in Daliang are strict, and evidence comes first.

Otherwise, arbitrarily detaining court officials will only make every minister in the court feel insecure, which will inevitably shake the foundation of the country.

Please think twice, Madam."

"It is said that the Right Prime Minister is neutral and does not engage in factionalism or nepotism, but today it seems that the Right Prime Minister has officially taken sides?"

The one who spoke was the left prime minister.

The Left Prime Minister was about 40 years old, young, handsome and extremely talented. He was highly praised by people and was known as the reincarnation of Kong Ming.

But this is only what the people see, in the court that the people cannot see.

The elegant left prime minister and the conservative right prime minister often fight like fighting cocks at the slightest disagreement.

For example, now, seeing the loophole in the right prime minister's words, he immediately put on eye drops and focused on the person rather than the matter.

The Right Prime Minister could not help but frown: "I am only analyzing according to the law and etiquette. How can I take sides? Don't slander me, you little brat."

"Every word of the Right Prime Minister is biased towards the Liu family. Isn't it because he praised the Liu family dancer a few days ago? I am just speaking the truth. How can I slander you?"

"One thing is one thing, and what does this have to do with today?"

Queen Mother Shang held her forehead in pain. The Right Prime Minister had always been at odds with the Left Prime Minister. As soon as the Left Prime Minister opened his mouth, the Right Prime Minister would quickly lose his mind and forget his original intention.

But it's better this way. The old man is rigid and stubborn, and is one of the people who is most dissatisfied with her behind-the-scenes rule. With the left prime minister to restrain him, she can also fish in troubled waters.

So, taking advantage of their confusion, the Queen Mother of Shang cut the Gordian knot: "Don't quarrel any more. It was not I who proposed to punish Liu Yanzhou together with him, but it was the Minister of Rites who asked for it. I am only fulfilling his wish as his elder brother.

Furthermore, as the right prime minister said, Daliang is a place where etiquette and law are respected. If the Liu brothers were innocent, the Censorate would not have framed them.

Anyway, they are brothers with deep affection, so there is nothing wrong with letting them face it together. Of course, if you all want to have a deep friendship with the Minister of Rites, you can ask for it now, and I will let you go in together."

Not to mention that none of the ministers said a word, just Liu Qiu's expression changed.

His original intention of asking for forgiveness was to commit moral blackmail.

He was sure that the young emperor would not have the heart to imprison his grandfather, and would even rescue Liu Yunzhou for his sake.

Of course, Liu Qiuqiu did not expect the young emperor to release Liu Qiuzhou on the spot, but at least he could get Liu Qiuzhou out of the Censorate, and then everything else would be easy.

After all, the Censorate is a place where no one except the Empress Dowager can interfere.

Unexpectedly, the empress dowager disregarded the emperor's filial piety and the righteousness of the world and detained him as well.

If he was also detained, who would speak for the Liu family? Is the only option left to them to plead guilty?

However, he had just said those things with great confidence. If he went back on his word now, how would the ministers in the court view him?

At this time, Liu Qiu could only look at the little emperor with pleading eyes, hoping that he could help him.

When the little emperor saw his grandfather's pleading eyes, he immediately turned around and said to the curtain: "Mother, think twice..."

Before the little emperor could finish his words, a panicked voice came from behind the curtain. Soon, Nanny Yu came out in a panic: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has fainted."

"Ah?" The little emperor stood up anxiously: "What happened to my mother?"

"I think you caught a cold last night. Your Majesty didn't get enough rest, and you got up early this morning. You also spent so much time in the court, so you fell ill."

"Then what are you waiting for? Call the imperial physician immediately." The little emperor's attention was immediately diverted.

After sending Queen Mother Shang hurriedly back to the palace, when the little emperor looked at the court again, where was the shadow of Liu Yanqiu?

He had already been taken away by the guards.

The little emperor realized later that maybe... he had been tricked by his mother again. His face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed of his own naivety or angry at being tricked.

So the little emperor hurriedly left the court and knelt before Queen Mother Shang again.

……

When the news reached Taihe Palace, the Empress Dowager almost fainted.

It was already heartbreaking enough that his uncle was detained, and now his father was implicated as well. Moreover, his son even knelt in this woman's palace for a whole night, but this woman showed no mercy at all.

What made her even more angry was that after her son came home from court, he went to kneel in her yard again, but the woman remained unmoved. Later, the scorching sun at noon made him faint.

How could the concubine bear it any longer? "I think she not only wants me dead, but also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to kill my Jin'er, so that she can ascend the throne and become the queen, right?"

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words..."

"She's going to wipe out my Liu family, why should I be so cautious? She just wants me dead, right? Fine, I'll be honest with her! What's wrong with me wanting to raise a personal army for my son? The entire palace's personal guards are from her business, is there anything wrong with me raising a personal army with the surname Liang?"

The concubine dowager ordered someone to bring the white silk, and then she left the palace in a threatening manner, holding up her skirt.

At that time, Queen Mother Shang was watching the little emperor who was sleeping soundly in the side courtyard.

She didn't show much expression, neither doting nor disgust, but her hands were honestly tucking the quilt around him.

"My lady, one day His Majesty will see the good you have done to him."

Queen Mother Shang curled her lips and did not comment.

After all, they are "mother and son", and they have to work together to deal with the cunning ministers and the neighboring countries that are surrounded by wolves.

Even if there is no mother-child relationship, there should be some sense of alliance.

Who asked her to marry into the royal family?

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and the little palace maid came to announce: "The Queen Mother is coming."

"Let's go and have a look."

The Queen Mother stood up and walked out first.

At this time, the concubine was standing in the courtyard with an angry look on her face. When she saw Queen Dowager Shang coming out, she threw the white silk directly in front of Queen Dowager Shang.

"The Queen Mother wants to sentence me to death, doesn't she? Now I have brought the white silk with me, so just give the order."

Queen Mother Shang shook her head: "After all these years, you have been through so much, but you haven't changed at all."

"Then I'm really no match for you. Stop telling me all this nonsense. Today I'm going to be honest with you. I asked my uncle to raise the private soldiers in his mansion. My purpose is very simple. I just want to select a group of personal guards for my Jin'er. Isn't that okay?"

"If you want to kill the emperor, you can tell me. Can I kill him?"

"Oh, that sounds good. All the guards belong to your business. They will only obey your orders. Can such people be loyal to my Jin'er?"
