The prime minister always builds a floor in the imperial study

"Empress Dowager, the palace is urgently summoned, please return to the palace quickly!" When the prime minister was about to speak, he thought that the father-in-law crawled in from outside and was out of breath.

"Bold, I didn't see that the prisoner is being interrogated now!" The Queen Mother scolded angrily.

"Queen Mother, there is a message from the Imperial Hospital that the emperor..." The father-in-law didn't finish the next half of the sentence, but his face was full of panic, almost crying.

When the Prime Minister heard this, his face changed. Yesterday, the dark guard came to deliver a message. Why did something happen after only one hour? Could it be that something happened last night?The opponent's goal is still the emperor?

The prime minister gritted his teeth tightly, his face was very ugly.His heart was also up and down, logically speaking, he knew his mother's ability, and the antidote couldn't possibly be ineffective, could it be that something really happened?

When the queen mother heard this, she couldn't sit still, she stood up immediately, and ran towards the door quickly.

"Master Shangshu, temporarily take the prime minister back to the prison, and Ai's family will come for trial tomorrow!" The queen mother said sternly and left the gate of the Ministry of punishment. The prime minister forgot to glance at the door, feeling very uneasy.

The prime minister originally thought that he would just break free from the shackles and rush out like this, but he was afraid of falling into the trap of the queen mother. The queen mother has always been very close in this regard, and it is not impossible to set such a trap. When the time comes, he will be punished A charge of absconding in fear of crime is even more troublesome.

"Master Prime Minister, come on, you have to copy this today!" Lord Shang Shu stepped down from his seat.The guard on the side was carrying a wooden plate covered with a red cloth, and it was impossible to tell what it was. When he opened it, the prime minister's face immediately changed. The authentic black iron is something ordinary people can't get rid of. It seems that this time In order to catch himself, this person is willing to spend a lot of money!

"What does Lord Shangshu mean? I don't know if it was the emperor who was assassinated by the real minister. Could it be that he is going to convict the real minister? Does Lord Shangshu have evidence that the real minister did it?" Said the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was walking towards him.

"Prime Minister, this is the queen mother's order. Even if you resist, the official will wear it for you today!" Shang Shu walked towards the prime minister and got closer, the prime minister glanced at it, it was thicker than a thumb, If it is handcuffed, it will take some effort to take it off, and if it is not done well, it may even hurt your wrist.

The prime minister was angry. He was worried about whether the emperor had something to do, whether he was pretending, or whether there were special circumstances. However, this minister has repeatedly opposed himself. If this person is half as smart as the minister of Dali Temple, he will be a big man in the future , I am so impetuous now, I don't have any potential at all.

"The emperor has spoken!" A sharp voice sounded from the door, and Lan Shuming was a little bit taken aback. The other officials and servants didn't react. Didn't the emperor say that he was critically ill? Why did the imperial decree appear now?

You all looked at the door, and saw an elderly old man walking over, holding a fly whisk in one hand, and swaggeringly entered the gate of the Ministry of Punishment. Look at this father-in-law again, it is the old man next to the emperor, and he is quite old. Yes, but he has been the chief steward of the imperial court for so many years, and all the officials who have entered the hall know him!

The moment the old man entered the door, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice's face became heavy and astonished.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xuan has an audience!" The old man stood in front of the lobby and shouted loudly, and finally continued: "Master Prime Minister, hurry up and go with your father-in-law!"

"Father-in-law, the Empress Dowager has an order for the subordinate officials to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the emperor, father-in-law..." Minister of the Ministry of Punishment knelt on the ground and said.

The old man suddenly took out the golden thing hanging from his belt, and said to the minister of punishment, "This is a gold medal bestowed by the emperor. Is your lord Shangshu going to disobey the emperor's order?"

"I don't dare!" Minister of the Ministry of Punishment lowered his head again, and said respectfully.

The old man glanced at him. The prime minister had already stood up. The old man had no time to think about anything else. He took the prime minister out of the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The prime minister didn't speak all the way. He waited until he was sitting in the carriage, and the prime minister asked anxiously. One sentence: "How about the emperor?"

"The emperor has woken up, it's all right, the prime minister can rest assured!" the old man said while driving.

The prime minister was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted randomly. His heart that had been beating non-stop, became much more stable at this moment. Sure enough, things did not go bad.

"Eunuch, hurry up!" the prime minister said.

"Good!" The old man raised his whip, and the two horses ran faster.

When the prime minister and the father-in-law arrived at the gate of the palace, the queen mother had already reached the emperor's bedroom.The Empress Dowager and her party, more than a dozen people just poured into the bedroom, the scene was very grand!

"Doctor Wang, how is the situation now?" The queen mother asked an imperial doctor in the hall as soon as she entered the door.

The kneeling imperial physician did not reply, but someone not far away replied: "Queen Mother, I am in good health."

The person on the bed had already lifted the curtains. He was wearing a dark yellow nightgown, with white cloth strips wrapped around his chest and shoulders. The emperor's complexion was not bad, not as pale as the patient's, but rather rosy, probably because of eating. Because of taking a big tonic pill, the prime minister's complexion is quite good at this time, and it doesn't look like what the little eunuch who informed the news said!

When the queen mother was wondering, she turned her head and found that almost all the people in the imperial medical garden were in the bedroom. The queen mother was surprised that no one informed her of the emperor's situation, so they were all locked up here.

"The emperor is well, and the Ai family is relieved. It is the Ai family who did not take good care of the emperor. The Ai family is ashamed!" The queen mother's complexion changed, she frowned, and walked towards the emperor with a sad face. Those who knew it thought that the Queen Mother was such a kind mother.

"Queen Mother, I heard that you sent the prime minister to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Why?" The emperor sat by the bed and took the medicine handed over by his father-in-law, swallowing it all in one gulp.

"The prime minister is suspected of assassinating the emperor. The emperor's injury is such a serious matter. Ai's family will be interrogated!" The queen mother came over and handed over the handkerchief in her hand very kindly. The handkerchief wiped the concoction from the corner of his mouth.

"How does the queen mother know that the prime minister did it?" The emperor said calmly.

"The arrow that stabbed the emperor was shot from the forest. At that time, the prime minister was the only one in the forest. Of course, the prime minister is the biggest suspect!" The queen mother said coldly.

"How does the Empress Dowager know that the arrow was shot from the forest?" the emperor said flatly.

The queen mother was stunned, a word was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it, the emperor sneered from the bottom of her heart.

There is still a certain distance from the viewing platform to the place where his fishbone is. It is so far away that it only takes a moment for the sharp arrow to shoot out. No one can see clearly which direction the arrow is shot from.

"Your Majesty, Aijia..." The Empress Dowager was stopped by the Emperor as soon as she opened her mouth, and the Emperor said: "Forget it, Empress Dowager, this matter should have been thoroughly investigated by the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and it is better for the Empress Dowager to stay in the palace to take care of her health! "

The emperor's voice suddenly became a little colder, and the second half of the empress dowager's words were swallowed in her stomach.It is clearly written in the ancestral precepts that women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics. The emperor is clearly telling her that she has exceeded her authority. Although the queen mother really wants to gain power, she dare not directly participate in politics. In the early years, she was just listening to politics behind the curtain. , Anything is done in secret, not so blatantly, it seems that I am forced to!

"The prime minister is here!" the old man shouted at the door.

The empress dowager's face was even more ugly, and the emperor didn't show any emotion on his face.It's just that he often let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He was supposed to recover at night, but when he was lying down, he just felt that he should open his eyes. There was something waiting for him. Relying on an inexplicable thought, he He woke up an hour ago, and when he woke up, he heard the queen mother interrogating the prime minister in the Ministry of punishment, his expression changed immediately, he came up with such a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, fortunately, he caught up with it!The queen mother has always been very dissatisfied with the prime minister, now that she has seized the opportunity, she will not let the prime minister go easily!

"I see the queen mother, see the emperor!" The prime minister made a bow to the queen mother, and then walked towards the emperor. When he reached the bedside, the prime minister half-knelt down.

"Prime Minister, get up!" The emperor lifted it with his hand, and the prime minister got up immediately.

"The truth about the attack has not yet been found out. The emperor can't just let the prime minister back like this!" The queen mother hurriedly added, and she managed to catch the prime minister's handle. How could the queen mother be willing to be so calm? dealt with!

"Queen, do you have evidence? Private interrogation is a serious crime!" the emperor turned his head to look at the queen and said calmly.

The queen mother pursed her lips, a word stuck in her throat.

evidence?It is nothing more than the nineteen arrows, but from the attitude just now, it is not difficult to see that the emperor is deliberately defending the prime minister. This is a rule, and the queen mother still doesn't want to break it!

"Aijia is just worried about the emperor! It would be bad if the thief escaped!" The queen mother gave herself a step down.

"Naturally, I will personally examine this matter soon, so I will trouble the Queen Mother!" the emperor said coldly.

"Then Ai's family will return to the palace. The emperor must be careful not to let the prisoner go!" The queen mother had a tendency to compromise the moment she saw the prime minister, and now she simply gave up.

"Naturally, send the queen mother off respectfully!" The emperor didn't do anything to keep her, and just urged her.

The queen mother glanced at the prime minister, the prime minister's face was flat, the queen mother looked coldly, snorted coldly in her heart, just turned around and walked out.

"Retire too!" The emperor waved his hand, and the kneeling imperial doctor in the hall also retreated slowly.
