"Present the zhezi." Emperor Hongyuan raised his eyelids.
Father Liu walked in and presented a dozen thick books.
Emperor Hongyuan picked up these folds and glanced at it casually, his face darkened, "These people are so bold, they dare to say that I indulge the Jin King and ask me about the Jin King's sins, and give Chu Xuanchen justice. ."
Su Ming said: "The emperor calms down your anger, haven't you always wanted to get the list of King Li's contacts? Now these people have jumped out by themselves. Look at which ministers wrote the notes, write them down one by one, and then find them to settle the account later. "
Most of these ministers were old ministers during the reign of the first emperor, and they were the confidants of the first emperor.
When Emperor Hongyuan succeeded to the throne, he wanted to uproot them and eliminate them all, but they had already taken root and sprouted in the court, and some were in charge of Chu's lifeline industry. If they were rudely eliminated, it would cause turmoil in the ruling and opposition parties.
Therefore, Emperor Hongyuan still kept them, but slowly weakened their real power, no longer reused them, only promoted his own people, and ordered his own people to squeeze out these old officials.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Xuanchen had an accident, these people would jump out.
It seemed that when Chu Xuanchen died, it was time to get rid of these people.
-
At this time, Duke Liu came to report again, "The emperor, too late, it was carried by someone with a phoenix."
He had only finished speaking, and Feng Nian, who was carrying the Queen Mother, had already entered the emperor Hongyuan's bedroom.
Su Ming retreated first when he saw this.
When Emperor Hongyuan looked up, he saw the queen dowager leaning on Fengyan. He hurriedly stepped forward and said concerned: "Mother, your illness is still not healed, how can you come out and run? If you want to see your son, let him Just look at you in the past."
"Emperor, the Ai family has been upset recently, not thinking about tea, and not wanting to eat. They always feel that something has happened. Just now, the Ai family heard people say that there was an accident in the Royal Palace of Li and Prince Jin, and the King of Li and King Jin have always been at odds. What's wrong? Both of them are the grandsons of the Ai family. They can't have an accident." The queen mother said with red eyes.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Hongyuan hurried forward and held the Queen Mother’s hand, “The Queen Mother has been upset recently? Come, please give the back of the mother a bowl of soothing tea.”
"Yes, the emperor." After Duke Liu finished speaking, he walked out.
After a while, he ordered the eunuch to bring a cup of soothing tea.
After the queen mother finished drinking the tea, her expression was still languid, and tears were still in her eyes, "Emperor, can you tell the truth to Ai's family? Xuan Chen, what's wrong with him."
Emperor Hongyuan knew that the Queen Mother had always blamed him for killing the Emperor Xian and Qiang, who had been cold and indifferent to him over the years.
But only when defending the two siblings of Chu Xuanchen, she would talk to him gently and intercede for them.
He was a little afraid to face the eyes of the Queen Mother, rolled his eyes, and said: "Mother, you must not listen to the rumors outside. They are all rumors and false. Xuan Chen was indeed assassinated, but it was definitely not. What King Jin did, and now the people outside are instigated so much, and his son is worrying about it."
"Emperor, how is Xuan Chen doing now? Is he really as rumored... gone?" The queen mother choked and looked at Emperor Hongyuan with a gray face.
If Xuan Chen is gone, then her old life doesn't need to survive.
But what about Jie Yu? She has to protect her.
If their siblings are gone, then her life will come to an end.
Emperor Hongyuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the empress, Xuan Chen is still alive, and Princess Li is taking care of him."
