The empress sat on the Dragon chair, dressed in a bright yellow robe, with snow-white hair tied into a bun and wearing a crown. She waited patiently until the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty were finished, and then she spoke slowly, without anger and awe. "I don't know where all the Ai Qing heard the news from? My eldest son is still well imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum. Not long ago, I went to the mausoleum to pay homage and visit my eldest son. It's really reprehensible for those who spread such news to bring the whole Chizhou state into turmoil. I will find out this man. "
Civil and military officials: "emperor, he... Is he still in the mausoleum?"
Queen: "why, do you doubt me?"
With words, an invisible pressure came down. All the civil and military officials were surprised. Some of them could not bear it and knelt down immediately. Some of them didn't kneel down, but they didn't dare to say more.
Only a few brave people, under the pressure of their heads, carefully asked a few questions, but they did not dare to ask so clearly, "the emperor, the old minister thinks, is it possible... Maybe he went out of the imperial mausoleum, and the people in the imperial mausoleum didn't find out, mistaking him for being imprisoned?"
"It's true, it's possible." Some officials echoed in a low voice.
Minister: "emperor, the people of Chizhou have been in a panic because of this news. If we can't stabilize the people as soon as possible and make them feel at ease, I'm afraid it will give other countries a chance."
"Emperor, it's important to stabilize the people's mind at present."
"Yes, Emperor."
……
After a while, the queen said, "come on, post the emperor's name list and pass on my will. I will go to the imperial mausoleum again in two months. Order the officials of each city to select two representatives fairly and justly in public and escort them to wait outside the mausoleum. At that time, they can enter the mausoleum with me to see if my eldest son is still imprisoned in the mausoleum. "
After hearing this, all the civil and military officials talked about it one after another. They thought it was feasible. It was a good way to stabilize the people's mind. Of course, the premise is that someone really dares to enter the mausoleum to witness, and the devil is still in the mausoleum.
The queen got up and left.
The eunuch announced his withdrawal.
-
In the imperial study.
The queen ordered the eunuchs to step back and walk slowly to the portrait of the former Emperor on the wall.
"That woman deliberately spread the news so widely that she not only forced me to mobilize troops to arrest him, but also wanted him to die!" A faint smile, and gently shook her head, the Queen: "ha ha, this is the woman you love, to death also remember."
The former Emperor in the portrait is not what he looked like when he died of illness, but what he looked like when he was young.
Before long, a shadow came into the imperial study, only a pair of eyes appeared all over, and knelt down on one knee.
The empress's tone was light, and she was not in any mood. "Take some people with you, keep a low profile, and go to take my eldest son back to the imperial mausoleum.". Two months later, when I arrive at the imperial mausoleum, my eldest son will have to wait for me there. "
The shadow who entered the imperial study took orders and disappeared in an instant.
The empress looked back at the emperor in the portrait and said, "I can't bear to kill him. But the woman in your heart, after so many years, it's time to die. " After looking at the portrait for a long time, a pair of deep eyes had no love or hate. The queen then went to the desk and read the mountain of memorials.
At the same time, on the other side, Qu Ning, who has gone all the way to the west to the deserted land, has no idea that the news of the devil has spread all over the world, and someone has come to capture the devil.
