When Qiqige gave an order, the guards rushed in and arrested anyone they saw, and Suo'etu's mansion was full of mournful crying.

Suo'etu lay down on the ground, panting heavily, the queen mother's kick was really powerful.He didn't expect the queen mother to come, and he didn't expect the queen mother to kick people when she came up without even saying a word of kindness.

He held on for two breaths, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Queen Mother! You insulted and persecuted the court officials, interfered in the government affairs, and the rooster is in the morning! You..."

Qiqige pulled out the guard's waist knife, and the tip of the knife rested on Suo'etu's throat.

She looked down at Suo'etu indifferently, "I treat people generously, and I am willing to give everyone a choice. You can continue to talk, and I can stab your throat with a knife. Choose one!"

Suo'etu felt the cold tip of the knife and could only choose to remain silent.

The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother escorted Suo'etu to the clan mansion, and the eldest princess and the others split up to arrest Suo'etu's confidants.

Overnight, all the core figures of the famous Suo'etu Party were arrested.After arresting the arrester, Qiqige did not rest, she read the materials all night, ordered the princesses to interrogate the person who set the fire, and prepared to hold a court meeting the next morning.

The emperor was not in the capital, and the Yumen hearing was cancelled, but today is very special, Suo'etu was arrested, Qiqige had to give an explanation to the courtiers.

The eunuch added a chair beside the throne, Qiqige sat next to the throne, and the fourth and eighth elder brothers stood behind her.

Suo'etu has many party members, the Hesheli family has made outstanding achievements, and his in-laws are all over the court and the public.The court meeting had just begun, and all kinds of voices of opposition rushed towards Qiqige.

Some people say that Qiqige's harem interferes in politics with evil intentions.

Some people said that Qi Qige arrested people indiscriminately, which chilled the hearts of veteran and loyal ministers.

Others said that the princesses had no official titles, and it was against the rules to arrest court officials.

Qiqige sat quietly on it and listened to their quarrel, even if someone scolded her, she was indifferent.

When the ministers were exhausted from the quarrel, Qiqige raised her hand to ask the fourth elder brother to stand up.

The fourth elder brother stepped forward and said loudly: "Last night, Suo'etu sent people to assassinate the Queen Mother. There are all witnesses and material evidence, which is irrefutable! He committed such a crime, he deserves to be executed!"

The ministers standing below winked at each other. They were well-informed, and of course they knew that Suo'etu had to kill the queen mother in order to die.Although they knew it, they had to find a way to save Suo'etu.

Either they are relatives of Suo'etu, or they have a handle in his hands, so they can't do it if they don't work hard!

The Empress Dowager is a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time. Although she knows some rogue tricks, but this time and this place are in the court, without the support of the emperor, how can she play a rogue?

They frightened the queen mother first, and released Suo'etu first.When the emperor comes back, they will use some means to get the person who set the fire to repeat his statement, and they will definitely be able to expose the matter.

"Master Suo'etu is loyal to the emperor, and the world can learn from it. Queen Mother, fourth elder brother, you can't listen to the villain's slander, it will chill the hearts of all the officials! There must be something strange about this matter, someone must have framed it!"

The adult began to list Suo'etu's credit, starting with Suo'etu helping the emperor eradicate Oboi, and told him all the big things and small things he had done.

Qiqige asked the eighth elder brother the name and official position of the adult, and the eighth elder brother answered in a low voice, and Qiqige took out a booklet to find out the relevant information of the adult.

"Master Liu, right? You are a Han Chinese, and you have been an official through the imperial examination. You have received the favor of Suo'etu. Two months ago, you and Suo'etu went to a restaurant in the outer city. The restaurant is called Fuyueju. Xi During this time, you toasted frequently, and you even gave it to a beautiful woman in Suo'etu, this beautiful woman is named Lian'er. Am I right?"

Master Liu was in a cold sweat from fright, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to find out such a private matter.

The other officials gave up all their thoughts of interceding for Suo'etu, and no one knew what else was written in the queen mother's booklet, so they should not be the rafters of the leader.

Qiqige closed the booklet and said with a smile: "This lord has a very good personal relationship with Suo'etu! I heard that Lian'er is your goddaughter, so...you are Suo'etu's father-in-law?"

Master Liu knelt down on the ground, "Queen! This minister is just... just a little personal friendship."

Qiqige: "Suo'etu has no vendetta against me. He wants to kill me because I accidentally learned of his plan to rebel."

Qiqige glanced at the ministers, "Thank you all for your wonderful performance in defending Suo'etu just now. I remembered your speeches, which will be of great help in identifying Suo'etu's fellow party."

The person who spoke for Suo'etu was almost scared to pee. Murdering the Queen Mother is a serious crime, but treason is a bigger crime than murdering the Queen Mother.

The murder of the Queen Mother was Suoetu's business alone, and their intercession did not mean that they were part of the same party. They were very good at jumping on the safety line.

But rebellion is different. Rebellion cannot be done by one person, and there must be accomplices.The queen mother accused Suo'etu of treason, how should they clean themselves up?

Qiqige stood up and said coldly: "Suo'etu instigated the prince, murdered the queen mother, kidnapped the servant of the official department, and intended to rebel! The emperor is not in the capital, so he should use extraordinary means at extraordinary times. All petitioners will be regarded as Suo'etu's accomplices." !"

In the end, Qi Qige persuaded the ministers to be more obedient, "The emperor has already driven back to the capital, and will arrive in the capital in a few days. I advise you to keep your duty and do your duty well."

After the court meeting, Qiqige told the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother to take good care of Suo'etu and not allow anyone to visit. The guards should pay attention to not letting Suo'etu die, and not passing things outside.

She summoned the seven princesses and asked them to help the fourth and eighth elder brothers. If anyone dares to make trouble, they will be ruthless and there will be no mercy.

The fifth princess said sullenly: "You don't need to be ordered by the imperial grandmother. When I arrested him yesterday, he dared to resist. I directly cut his belly with a knife, and his intestines spilled all over the floor."

Qiqige: "..."

Seeing Qiqige's strange expression, the fifth princess quickly explained: "Grandmother, don't worry, he won't die. I washed his intestines, stuffed them back into his stomach, and sewed them up properly."

Qiqige said with difficulty: "Okay, it's good."

The fifth princess said again: "I let the fourth sister and the seventh sister polish it up, and sent people to teahouses and taverns to spread the word. The scene of our arrest was horrifying, and I said that the blood flowed like a river, and my clothes were covered with blood. Soaked in water, twisted and splashed."

Qiqige hurriedly said: "No, no, it's not to the point where you can destroy your image and protect national security."

While talking, Aruna came in to announce that the queen was asking to see her.

Qiqige asked the children to hide, and the queen was in an embarrassing time now, and Qiqige didn't want the children to see her embarrassed.

The queen had a plain face, wore plain clothes, took off her hairpin and knelt in front of Qiqige.She is getting old, her face is dull after removing makeup, the corners of her eyes are full of fine lines, and the nasolabial folds around her lips are very deep. She looks a little sad, as if she usually worries too much.

"Emperor Niang, the concubine's uncle is guilty, and the concubine dare not argue for my uncle, so I just beg the empress to spare my uncle's life."

The queen wept bitterly, "The concubine's uncle, lard, was deceived and dared to murder you, but he will never rebel, please learn from the empress."

The evidence of murdering the queen mother is solid, the queen dare not argue for Suo'etu, but she dare not bear the charge of treason.Although the queen mother said that Suo'etu was instigating the prince, it would be terrible if it turned out that the prince was trying to rebel.

The empress was terrified. She could not leave the palace. The princes and daughters were all on the empress dowager's side. There was no one who could use her in front of her. People from the Hesheli family could not enter the palace to talk to her. She was helpless now. I can only ask the Queen Mother for mercy.

Qiqige didn't help the queen up, she said indifferently: "It's useless for you to beg me, I just arrest him and check the evidence. When the emperor comes back, these matters will naturally be left to the emperor to decide."

The queen cried and begged: "Emperor mother, the emperor listens to you the most, please say something nice for my uncle! I know this request is too unreasonable, but... But I can't just watch the crown prince and the rebel two Put the words on!"

Qiqige said: "The prince was instigated, the emperor will not touch the prince."

The queen cried and shook her head. The emperor has a lot of dissatisfaction with the prince. Whether the prince is active or passive, it will make the emperor dissatisfied, which will affect the trust between the prince and the emperor.

Qiqige grabbed the queen's arm and helped her up.

"Get up, don't cry like a woman!"

The queen was stunned for a moment, and then said indiscriminately: "I'm just a woman! I can't control my son, I can't control my natal uncle, I can't control the emperor, and I can't control the previous dynasty. How to do it?"

The atmosphere was quite sad, but the queen's words made Qi Qige dumbfounded.

"There is no one else here. To put it bluntly, if the prince succeeds in usurping the throne, you will not come to me and cry now."

Qiqige let go of the queen, sat on the chair and sneered, "Suo'etu wants to rebel, so he must inform the prince. I guess the prince has already got Suo'etu's letter. What do you think he will do?"

The queen swallowed nervously, the prince is of course willing, if it were her, she would have to give it a try.She is afraid of this now!The queen mother must have told the emperor what happened in the capital. If the crown prince showed an intention to return to the capital, it would mean treason. What would the emperor think?

Qiqige said coldly: "Since you want to compete for the throne, you must be mentally prepared. When things are done, everyone will enjoy the blessings and live a life of glory and wealth. Don't be discouraged if you lose. The emperor will not kill his son, let alone kill him." Kill your wife. You should be thankful that you have a good grandfather, for Sony's sake, the emperor will not touch the other members of the Hesheli family."

After hearing Qiqige's words, the queen felt much relieved.

Qiqige said again: "I advise you to be careful, the prince and Suo'etu didn't consider you when they wanted to rebel, and you don't have to pay attention to them."

The queen sniffed and nodded obediently, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for teaching me, my daughter-in-law knows."

"Go and freshen up, go back and take care of the palace affairs, the emperor will be back soon, get ready to pick him up!"
