Queen is the top

In the sleeping hall, there were a few low gasping sounds through the gauze curtain on the wide bed. The two of them lay hugging each other, their chests rising and falling slightly. The scene just now was unprecedentedly intense.

He Jingyi quickly calmed down, couldn't stop laughing contentedly, and reached out to hug him closer, "Lan Jun is so cute when he's jealous."

Shi Yuqing's physical strength is not as good as his, and he was exhausted from too much strength just now, and he was still panting lazily in his arms.

Fortunately, he has practiced some kung fu now, has some internal strength, and his body is much healthier, unlike before, he would be so tired that he would fall asleep in the middle of the process every time.

He Jingyi turned his head to look at him, stretched out his hand to stroke the sweaty hair on his forehead, and couldn't get enough of his flushed face.

"Why hasn't Lan Jun talked to me? Are you angry?" He Jingyi gently put his arms around his waist.

Shi Yuqing calmed down a bit, looked up at him when she heard the words, bit his chin again before letting go, "It's not angry, it's just... I feel uncomfortable."

The chin was bitten by him without pain, just like a small animal scratching it, but it made my heart feel very comfortable, and I couldn't help but stick to him very tightly, and said softly, "Mr. Lan knows, I won't accept concubines."

"I know." Shi Yuqing touched his cheek, "But I'm not happy."

He Jingyi looked at him dotingly and smiled, "Are you happy now?"

Shi Yuqing smiled slightly, turned over and pressed on him suddenly, looked down at him, "Not happy enough."

He Jingyi was a little surprised, but quickly sat up with his arms around his waist and moved closer to him to kiss his lips, and said excitedly, "Lan Jun still wants to continue?"

Shi Yuqing kissed his neck and whispered, "It's me this time?"

He Jingyi looked at him amusedly, "What does Lan Jun want to do?"

Shi Yuqing whispered a few words in his ear, He Jingyi raised his eyebrows, his smile became wider, and he stretched out his hand and suddenly pressed him under him, holding his hands with both hands so that he couldn't move at all, He said with a smile, "It seems that I need to revitalize my husband."

He Jingyi said and acted immediately, Shi Yuqing wanted to fight back but lost a lot of strength, so he could only let him act, and said helplessly, "I was just thinking about it, Jingyi, don't get excited, you...you take it easy point."

He Jingyi smiled intensely and kept moving, and the tent was filled with joy again.

In the middle of the process, Shi Yuqing hugged his shoulders and whispered into his ear with deep love: "I want Jingyi's child."

After this incident, after a few days of calm, He Jingyi didn't say a word about it, neither agreed nor disagreed.

Even the fearful Lord Linguo relaxed his mood, socializing and socializing, saying that he was loyal to the emperor, and everyone had their own thoughts, holding him to agree that the emperor should have concubines, and the queen should not be the only one in the harem.

When everyone thought that this matter was about to pass, they did not expect that a few days later, in the morning court, the matter of Duke Ling taking a girl from a good family as his concubine was reported to the court.

Duke Ling was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on the jade board and dropped it on the ground. He finally stabilized his body and hurriedly looked at the person who wrote the letter.

The person who reported was Wen Zhi'an, the Minister of Dali Temple. He had a high position and authority. He had been in politics for many years and had assisted the emperors of two dynasties. The most important thing was that he was one of the favorite students of Yuan Taishi, and his relationship was extraordinary.

Duke Ling was startled and angry, and immediately looked at Grand Master Yuan, but he stared back when he wanted to stare at him.

Yuan Taishi glanced at him contemptuously, thinking that this old fellow usually speaks ill of me, and he is too lazy to argue with you, and if he wants to hit my emperor's grandson, you will die.

Duke Ling looked at Grand Master Yuan and then at He Jingyi. He wasn't sure whether Grand Master Yuan deliberately punished him or He Jingyi's idea.

If Grand Master Yuan was easy to deal with, and if He Jingyi wanted it, then this matter might not be settled easily.

As he expected, He Jingyi did not intend to deal with it simply. He first asked Wen Zhian to explain the ins and outs in detail, and then not only Wen Zhian, but also Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Shichu also took his evidence of corruption and bribery to the emperor.

The crime of embezzlement and bribery is much more serious than forcibly marrying a civilian girl. Duke Ling was so panicked that he couldn't stabilize his legs for a moment. If it wasn't for Duke Duanguo behind him who had quick eyesight and subconsciously supported him, he might have fallen on the ground. land.

"Your Majesty, the old minister was wronged!" Ling Guogong immediately stepped out of the train and shouted to He Jingyi without waiting for Wang Shichu to finish speaking.

Wang Shichu was interrupted by him, and he stopped talking slowly.

After a long while, He Jingyi's cold voice came from the high seat, "Duke Ling said he was wronged? But he didn't do these things?"

Duke Ling nodded hurriedly, "Exactly! Your Majesty is clearly aware!"

"Is it because he didn't marry a girl by force, or because he didn't take bribes?" He Jingyi asked again.

Duke Ling just rushed out in a hurry, now that he thought about it carefully, he had really done both of these things, but the one who forcibly married was not a girl but a woman with a husband.

Moreover, he clearly did that very cleanly, with a divorce certificate, evidence of the woman's parents accepting the dowry, and the testimony of the governor, he cannot be sued.

What he was afraid of was the charge of embezzlement and bribery, but he felt wronged. There are so many officials in the officialdom, big and small, and they rarely do this. Why did they report him.

"It's all wrong!" Ling Guogong is very skillful in doing things, and the traces are wiped clean, and his years of experience in politics have told him that once he encounters something, he should immediately deny it, confuse the audience, and then secretly change the concept, as long as the emperor believes By myself, this pass is over.

Wen Zhi'an sneered, "Mr. Ling said he was wronged, and Cai Xiaorui's husband sued him at Dali Temple. The evidence is convincing. How dare you ask your lord how he was wronged?"

Duke Ling said anxiously, "Then Cai Xiaorui is not a big girl, she is a married woman, and she is not forced to marry, she is willing."

"Did Duke Ling admit that he did marry Cai Xiaorui?" Wen Zhian asked.

Lord Ling rolled his eyes, thought for a while and admitted that there was nothing wrong, then replied, "Yes."

"Whether it's a girl or a young woman, whether it's forced or voluntary." Wen Zhian turned to look at He Jingyi, "Please Your Majesty's gracious minister to investigate this matter."

He Jingyi said, "I've approved it. If this happens, Mr. Wen must remember that everything will be dealt with in accordance with the law."

Duke Ling's back was covered in cold sweat, and he secretly thought that it was not good. The emperor's tone sounded like he was deliberately reminding Wen Zhian to investigate and deal with it strictly. His concubine was indeed a forced marriage.

He couldn't help being angry that Wen Zhian was too insidious, so he purposely mentioned his name, leading himself to admit that even if he wanted to blame him, he couldn't blame him.

Wen Zhian took his orders respectfully, and gave Duke Ling a hard look before walking back to his original position.

One is because he has long been tired of what Duke Ling said about his mentor behind his back, and he looks down on him.

The second is that Ling Guogong is not only as simple as a forced marriage, he forced Cai Xiaorui's husband to divorce his wife. Her husband refused, so he framed him for stealing things, arrested him for a long time in the government, and forged a divorce letter to force Cai Xiaorui's natal family to accept her. The betrothal gift, and let the governor testify that Cai Xiaorui was forced to marry him.

It wasn't Cai Xiaorui's husband who reported this matter to Dali Temple as he said, but Grand Master Yuan ordered someone to find out on purpose.

But Wen Zhian knew very well that all of this was He Jingyi's intention, and he was determined to punish Duke Ling.

Duke Ling had never spoken to Wen Zhi'an a few times before. This man was arrogant by nature, he didn't like hard and soft, and he didn't like oil and salt. Seeing that he was so sure, he lost his confidence for a while.

"What about corruption and bribery?" He Jingyi's icy voice was like a reminder from hell, which made Duke Ling, who was in deep thought, tremble, and shouted for injustice.

Wang Shichu ignored his yelling, and directly read out all the evidence of his corruption, held it up for him to see, and asked the inner eunuch to hand it over to He Jingyi.

Mr. Ling Guo only heard him say that he was corrupt and accepted bribes, and he was confident that he handled it properly. He thought that he had no evidence, so he just had to deny it. Now he was scared into a cold sweat, and he actually found all his evidence one by one. Come out and appear in front of all the princes and ministers in the court.

Looking at the evidence, Ling Guogong's eyes were darkened, and he almost fainted.

This time he stepped out of the train, and no one supported him, so he had to stand on his own.

He Jingyi looked at the criminal evidence presented by Wang Shichu, and the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, "Mr. Ling, do you have anything else to say?"

As soon as Lord Ling returned to his senses, he didn't care to call He Jingyi wronged. He thought in his heart that as long as he killed himself and didn't do anything, He Jingyi would hand over the matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation according to the rules. Fan, write money to eliminate disasters and let this matter pass.

So he raised his voice, shouted that he was wronged, and refused to admit the matter to the death. The muddy and choked shouts made everyone frown, thinking it was too noisy.

He cried for a while, but no one responded, He Jingyi didn't speak, no one dared to speak easily.

He couldn't see any emotion from the lower half of He Jingyi's face, so he was not sure whether he should continue to cry or not.

"Since Ling Guogong feels wronged, why don't the three divisions review the matter, if it is really wronged, Ling Guogong will naturally be innocent, if the matter is true, it will be dealt with according to the national law."

Shi Yuqing, who rarely spoke in the court hall, unexpectedly said these words at this time.

The words of the third division's interrogation made Duke Ling's face pale, and he was so angry that he collapsed on the ground on the spot and almost passed out.

Duke Ling looked up at the cold gaze he shot over, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He really underestimated him, and underestimated the emperor's love for him.

Shi Yuqing is not as gentle as he looks on the surface, and he is not an easy person to mess with at all.

As for He Jingyi, the emperor, he must avenge any grudge, and there are always thousands of ways to deal with people who are powerless to fight back.

He still didn't believe what the man said to him before, he just thought that two hairy children could turn the world upside down, he was a highly respected old minister, he could say whatever he wanted.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that what he had done was simply pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth.

The joint trial of the three divisions will only be activated when encountering extremely important cases. As long as a person of high authority commits a crime, the three divisions will jointly investigate it, and it cannot be denied no matter what.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Doctor Yu Shi, and the Minister of Dali Temple jointly tried the case. Except for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who is a little familiar with these three, it is almost impossible to bribe the other two.

He originally thought that he was making a few sophistry, and the emperor handed over the matter to the Ministry of Punishment, and he could settle the matter by paying some fines through his relationship with the Ministry of Punishment.

I didn't expect that the first time the queen opened her mouth, there would be a joint trial by the three divisions, and she would directly put him on this point. This move is really ruthless!

Duke Ling collapsed to the ground, and now it was clear that he could not escape the catastrophe, and he could save himself the energy to cry out for injustice.

He Jingyi was amused from the bottom of his heart, and kept his face calm. He held Shi Yuqing's hand, slightly turned his head to look at him, and said softly, "Just listen to the queen."

Everyone present almost dropped their jaws when they heard his abnormal voice, and it took a long time to hold back and retract their jaws.

A few days ago, the courtiers who impassionedly asked He Jingyi to accept the concubine together with Duke Ling, were all very quiet at this moment, keeping their heads down and silent, wondering if they had done anything illegal, and whether they could keep a handle.

For important ministers like Lord Lian Ling, He Jingyi would move at will, let alone them.

At this moment, everyone saw the smile on the corner of He Jingyi's mouth and realized that Duke Ling was doomed this time.

Sure enough, a few days later, the results of the joint trial of the three divisions came out, and the evidence was conclusive.

He Jingyi confiscated his family property in accordance with the law, cut off his title, and demoted him to a commoner. After all, for the sake of the descendants of Duke Ling's meritorious service, he was not executed, nor was he implicated in the family. Let him take his family back home to spend his old age .

In Dacheng, a country where corruption is considered a felony and will be punished with death, it is considered very tolerant and justifiable.

But since then, everyone has experienced the power of the new emperor and new empress.

Those who wanted to send their daughters and sons into the palace, or send beauties to please He Jingyi, have given up such thoughts since then, and no one dared to mention the matter of being a concubine.

After all, who will be clean.

The scenery of Xingzhou is beautiful, and the scenery is unique. He Mingxuan came here to travel the mountains and rivers for a few days, and his longing mood eased a lot.

"His Royal Highness King Zheng, His Highness King Ji is here."

He Mingxuan, who was drawing ink on the stone table in the courtyard, immediately stopped the pen in his hand and said in surprise, "Fifth brother is here? Please come in soon?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper had already welcomed He Mingbo into his courtyard, and He Mingbo's loud laughter came from the corridor.

"Long time no see, how is sixth brother?"

He Mingxuan took two steps forward to meet him, and when he saw a surge of excitement in his heart, he cupped his hands happily, "Fifth brother!"

He Mingbo's eyes became a line with a smile, he patted him on the shoulder, and looked him up and down, "Not bad, he's grown taller again, and he'll surpass Fifth Brother in two years."

He Mingxuan smiled and asked He Mingbo to sit down. The butler beside him had already brought tea, He Mingxuan nodded, and the butler led his attendants out of the courtyard.

"Why is Fifth Brother here today?" He Mingxuan asked curiously.

He Mingbo smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. It just so happens that Xingzhou is not too far away from Qizhou, so I came to see you. You are young, and you don't have a wife or concubine to take care of you. You can live alone in a fief." ?”

Listening to his words of concern, He Mingxuan felt very warm in his heart, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Fifth Brother. It's quite comfortable to be alone."

He Mingbo saw that the loneliness in his eyes was not overflowing, his eyes flashed, he lowered his eyes to look at the tea in the cup, took a sip and then put it down quickly.

"You are alone, which is really worrying. A man should marry a wife and let her take good care of you." He Mingbo looked at him and said.

He Mingxuan smiled slightly, "Fifth Brother, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

He Mingbo shook his head helplessly and smiled, "I heard that your father, queen mother, and concubine Lan Gui have chosen many girls for you and you don't even like them? What do you like? Tell Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother will help you pay attention with?"

He Mingxuan's eyes darkened, and this obvious sadness was seen by He Mingbo.

"I..." He Mingxuan swallowed it after finishing speaking, hiding the loneliness in his heart, and said with a smile, "Why is Fifth Brother so concerned about my life's major events today?"

He Mingbo said with a smile, "Of course the older brother is worried about you when he sees you alone."

"Fifth Brother's kindness is appreciated by me, it's rare for Fifth Brother to come, how about I take Fifth Brother for a walk around?" He Mingxuan suggested.

"That's great. I've never been to Xingzhou, and I just want to take this opportunity to visit." He Mingbo looked quite interested.

He Mingxuan clapped his hands happily, "The fifth brother will stay here today, and tomorrow I will take the fifth brother to have a good tour of the scenic spots and historic sites in Xingzhou."

He Mingbo played with He Mingxuan for many days, and the two had a very close relationship when they were in the palace. He Mingxuan was the youngest of the Supreme Prince's children, and his mother's family had a high status.

More importantly, he is lively, straightforward, unrestrained and generous, and has a very good relationship with all brothers and sisters, including the dead He Mingcheng.

The relationship between this meeting has been improved to a higher level. He Mingxuan was already depressed, and He Mingbo is a smooth person who is very good at dealing with others.

The two chatted frequently and held candles every night. In just a few days, He Mingxuan trusted He Mingbo more and more, and told each other the secret deeply buried in his heart.

"If I guessed correctly, the person you like is Her Royal Highness the Queen." He Mingbo's words made He Mingxuan so startled that he immediately stretched out his hand over the desk and covered his lips.

"No, how could it be Her Royal Highness, Fifth Brother, don't make random guesses, it's just a lady from an official family, I..." He Mingxuan said after a pause, "I'm just not good enough for her."

He Mingbo lifted his hand, looked at him helplessly, and said earnestly, "You still want to hide it from Fifth Brother? The conditions you mentioned are all put together, it's obvious that it's him."

He Mingxuan was about to speak, but He Mingbo said again, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it. There is nothing wrong with you liking someone, even if His Majesty the Emperor knows about it, he can't do anything to you."

He Mingxuan knew that what he said was reasonable, "But I don't want to cause trouble for him, so it's better to ask fifth brother to keep it a secret for sixth brother."

He Mingbo patted him on the shoulder earnestly, "Don't worry, Fifth Brother is not the kind of person who talks nonsense."

He Mingxuan nodded and forced a smile, "Thank you Fifth Brother."

He Mingbo waved his hand and sighed again, "I just feel sorry for my sixth brother, there is a lot of affection there, and my sixth brother is really alone."

These words struck He Mingxuan's mind, every time he saw He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing being intimate together, he would feel an indescribable sadness in his heart.

He moved his lips, tightened his grip on the glass, and swallowed the wine in one gulp.

He Mingbo's slanted eyes took in all his expressions and movements, and a smug smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"Ugh."

He Mingxuan raised his head when he heard He Mingbo's sigh, and couldn't help being moved when he saw him looking at him worried and distressed.

He Mingbo waved his hand, looking very troubled and hesitant, hesitant to speak, which surprised He Mingxuan.

"Does Fifth Brother have something to say to me?"

He Mingbo wanted to nod his head, but held back halfway, his tangled look made He Mingxuan very confused.

"What's the matter?" He Mingxuan asked.

He Mingbo sighed, shook his head and refused to say, "Don't ask, Sixth Brother, it's better that you don't know."

When He Mingxuan saw that his expression seemed rather serious, he hurriedly asked again, "What's the matter, fifth brother just tell me."

He Mingbo retreated again, and repeated this several times before he said, under He Mingxuan's repeated questioning, "I just want to ask my sixth brother a question, is he willing to agree?"

He Mingxuan hurriedly said, "Why do you want to ask me, Fifth Brother? Just say it? If Mingxuan can do it, he will definitely promise Fifth Brother!"

He Mingbo smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, "OK."

The two sides looked at each other and smiled, He Mingbo spoke slowly:

"Mingxuan, are you willing to deal with He Jingyi and make Shi Yuqing your man?"
