Rebirth: Raising an Emperor as a Wife

On the other side, there was a gate leading directly to the Chongzheng Hall. It was the time of the court meeting, and the gate was closed tightly, and the curtain of the dragon was hung.A little eunuch stood guard at the door to keep people away.

When the little eunuch saw the queen mother coming, he hurriedly opened the door, raised the curtain and waited aside.The queen mother took Jing Yi's hand, leaning on a dragon-headed crutch, walked over slowly, and crossed the threshold.

When the curtain was lowered, it also blocked the sight of Xue Yao and the others.In this small tea room, Xue Yao became more and more aware that the distance between himself and that hall was far away.

Huzi poked his head out of the tea room, wishing he could see through the curtain, "This, this, this, what does this sound like? I don't know what happened inside. Will His Highness be bullied?"

Chen Zhao glanced at Xue Niang, who was in the same room with them, and saw that she had her eyes closed and said nothing, just like an old monk in meditation, she felt a little in awe and did not dare to move, let alone speak loudly.

But looking at Hu Zi like that, it is even more worrying.He was afraid that Huzi would offend people without knowing it, he really didn't want to see this country bumpkin who had never seen the world from the bottom of his heart, but he was also afraid that he would lose the face of Jinghua Palace.Pulling him back with all his strength, he said viciously, "This is Chongzheng Palace, can you be quiet, don't lose your head by yourself, let's see who can protect you."

Huzi also knew that he couldn't mess around here, but he just couldn't sit still and was anxious.I had no choice but to look at Xue Yao eagerly.

Xue Yao was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do at this time, so he could only sit there quietly.The moment the side door was opened just now, he vaguely saw a person kneeling in the middle of the main hall.It is estimated that before they came, Mr. Zhang had already been interrogated for a round, but he didn't know the result.

Besides, in the Chongzheng Hall, a group of people were arguing and their faces were red. Seeing Jing Yi coming to the hall with the Queen Mother, the monarchs and ministers were very surprised.The Empress Dowager never cared about the affairs of the previous dynasty. Many people were in a hurry to see the Empress Dowager at the Chongzheng Hall for the first time. After a chaotic salute by the monarchs and ministers, the emperor arranged for someone to bring a chair for the Empress Dowager to sit down on.

It was the first time for Jing Yi to participate in this kind of court meeting, so he was inevitably nervous, and his palms were covered with sweat.The queen mother also noticed it, and patted his hand, "Don't be afraid, grandma is here, let's see who dares to bully you, grandma, I will hit him with a cane."

Jing Yi twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Thank you, grandma."

The emperor Wang Yu sat on the dragon chair and leaned his body. He is getting older now, and it is unavoidable to sit all the time. He smiled flatteringly at the queen mother, "Why is mother free to come to Chongzheng Hall today? What is there for you?" Do you want to tell your son to do things? Just arrange for someone to come over and talk about it, instead of running all the way."

The queen mother glanced at the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall, "I am old, I haven't come out for activities for a long time, I heard that someone bullied my grandson, so I came here to see how you, the father, will be interrogated, you If the trial is not good, don't blame the old lady for being rude." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she slammed the dragon's crutch on the ground, "Hmph, not everyone can bully my royal prince."

The crown prince stood at the forefront of the officials. Hearing this, he was moved and kowtowed to the queen mother, "Thank you grandma for making decisions for my grandson."

The queen mother stretched out her hand, "Come here, come to grandma."

Since the prince was born, he has been doted on in every possible way. The only thing he didn't get was the love from the queen mother. On weekdays, the queen mother never even looked at him from the corner of her eye.At this moment, seeing the empress dowager being so kind, her eyes were slightly flushed, she obediently walked to the empress dowager's side, and stood with Jing Yi.

Jing Yi remained silent from the beginning to the end. When he saw the prince coming, he saluted slightly, "Brother Huang, I believe that the Qing Dynasty will come to the Qing Dynasty, and Father and Grandmother will seek justice for you."

The prince replied, "Thank you sixth brother."

This made people with discerning eyes know that they were here to support the prince. Among the officials in the palace, some people's expressions changed instantly.

Grand Master Xue Xiao straightened his collar, smiled complacently, and bowed to the emperor and the queen mother, "Empress mother, the emperor, I think what Mr. Su said is wrong, so what if there is such a memorial to plead guilty, Zhang Jin How can the crime of sin be offset by a simple book. My dignified prince was slandered by the minister for no reason. This is the first, and the second is to search the palace at will. If you slander the prince, how can you explain the matter of searching the palace? If you want to search the inner courtyard of the palace, what is the majesty of the palace and the dignity of the royal family? If all these can be exempted by a memorandum of guilt, then what else is there for the prince? Standing in the ranks of the ministers, what kind of face will you rule the world in the future. The emperor, the queen mother, please give Zhang Jin the death penalty, so as to rectify the court."

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty," Su Lan came out of the class in response. It seemed that he hadn't reached a conclusion just now, and now he continued to quarrel, "I think that Grand Master Xue's remarks are inappropriate. Since the founding of the country, I have been punished for not being a doctor. What's more, what's more, Zhang Jin is in the position of a censor, so if you dare to ask Grand Master Xue, do you know what a censor is?"

Seeing Su Lan's question, Xue Xiao snorted coldly and didn't respond.

Fang Lin interjected, "So what about the censor, the censor also needs to be supported by evidence. It's not just talking nonsense, adding crimes to slander, let alone using the name of the censor to seek personal gain."

Su Lan didn't get entangled with Fang Lin, and continued to say loudly, "The censor, who is in charge of supervising all officials, purges the discipline, and I will give the emperor the right to hear rumors. Convicted. Taishi Xue, Taifu Fang, I’m afraid they have forgotten the legacy of their ancestors. Then please listen to it again. Even if what you play is not true, you will not be convicted. Moreover, if Mr. Zhang is sentenced to death for this, in the future Who dares to hold the position of censor, and who dares to speak out, wouldn't it be empty talk to supervise all officials? Your Majesty, from the beginning of the dynasty to the present, there has never been a death sentence for civil servants who were convicted. If, according to Grand Master Xue's words, after thousands of years, later generations will comment that you are the first emperor in this dynasty to behead civil servants, your majesty, please think twice about whether you want this infamy or praise."

Su Lan's words were so impassioned that he even brought out the legacy of his ancestors, and a group of courtiers started whispering immediately.

Xue Xiao saw that the situation was not right, and was about to speak, but was interrupted directly by Su Lan.

Su Lan took out a memorial and raised it above his head, "Your Majesty, this is a joint letter from the top ten academies in our bank, with hundreds of students' signatures on it, requesting the emperor to give Zhang Jin a light sentence."

Instructed by the emperor's wink, the eunuch who served nearby took the memorial and handed it to the emperor, who opened it and flipped through it.
