Zhao Yunshan settled down with Qu lian'er. After learning the emperor's whereabouts, she went to the imperial study with Xu nuguan.
Seeing the Empress Dowager in person, Mr. Li went into his study to report.
After the Empress Dowager enters the study, Li Gonggong and Xu nuguan wait in the pavilion outside the imperial study. After all, the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the emperor is not what they can hear.
When Zhao Yunshan enters the imperial study, Bai Zhengming puts down his book.
"Emperor, the empress's coming here is to ask the emperor to give the money family a way to live." Zhao Yunshan words fall, just slightly bent over by Bai Zhengming up to stop.
"Mother, what are you doing?" In fact, how could Bai Zhengming not know what happened to the Empress Dowager this time? It's just that what the Qian family has done in Dashun over the years has really disappointed him. Earlier, he sent someone to investigate it. The Qian family, with its wealth, has pushed out the peddlers. Now the Qian family's fate can also be said to be self blame.
But Bai Zhengming is also having a headache these days. He doesn't know how to get rid of the Qian family. He always has to give Su Miaomiao an explanation. If the punishment is heavy, not only princess Qu but also his mother will blame him. If the punishment is light, he can't let the Qian family remember this lesson, which makes him a little embarrassed.
It seems that Zhao Yunshan has grown old in the past two days.
"The emperor knows it. Now the empress is in the palace, and she knows that the emperor still has friendship with her. This time, her brother-in-law is to blame. She conceals the truth from her. The empress wants to be a couple for a hundred days. Surely the emperor doesn't want to. Because of this, you and Princess Qu have no love for each other for so many years, do you? It's not necessary for the empress to say that the emperor knows what Princess Qu is thinking. She spends all her time on the emperor except going to the Longevity Palace to accompany her mother. Now she hasn't been able to give birth to a man and a half for the emperor. If the emperor punishes the money family, she will not even have a dependent one after a hundred years. " As Zhao Yunshan said this, she couldn't help wiping her tears.
The prince's crime should be committed by the common people. Qian Duojin has so many lives on his back. Although Qian Duojin has died, the Qian family is still to blame. If Qian Jubao had not indulged him too much, he would not have been so careless about his life.
Zhao Yunshan, who had been with the emperor since childhood, didn't know what he was thinking. Now seeing that he was wavering, he began to persuade him again: "the emperor, as the saying goes, one person should be responsible for one's own affairs. No matter how much money it costs, he has paid for what he has done. Now the white haired people give the black haired people away. There is no heavier punishment than this, Qian Jubao was also confused for a while, so he had this idea of harming others. Fortunately, the emperor was aware that he had saved this pillar for Dashun. If the emperor was willing to spare Qian's family this time, his mother would go to persuade Qian Jubao to donate half of his family property to those people in the south of Dashun. With this money, the people in the South would be able to spend this winter safely“
In the south of Dashun this year, there was a severe drought and locusts were rampant. Tens of millions of acres of good farmland were not harvested, which was the most serious drought since the founding of the people's Republic of China. The imperial court sent grain relief twice, but it was just a drop in the bucket. With the money from the Qian family, buying grain from the north and transporting it to the South can also solve the disaster of the people in the south. Bai Zhengming knows which is more important.
But with this lesson, Bai Zhengming still has a worry in his heart.
After weighing things up in his heart, Bai Zhengming said, "mother, now Dashun border has been disturbed many times. When Dashun is employing people with integrity, I heard that the twelve secret guards cultivated by mother are excellent in martial arts. Why don't you let them go to the border to calm down the war and build a career for me“
It's a taboo for the imperial family to cultivate private soldiers. Bai Zhengming has known all these years that there is such a group of secret guards around his mother, but he hasn't found a suitable opportunity to take them back. Although there's no malice in cultivating secret guards after knowing his mother, those old ministers have written many times, which is not proper. In order to stop the old ministers from talking, Bai Zhengming reluctantly opened his mouth.
Zhao Yunshan was stunned, but she didn't expect that the emperor would take the dark guards she had carefully cultivated back to Dashun because of this incident.
It can be said that Zhao Yunshan spent a lot of energy on these twelve dark guards. She trained them for nothing else but to make herself at peace in the deep palace of Nuo da. Once these dark guards were assigned to the frontier, there would be no one around her. However, since the emperor had already spoken, she wanted to stay, But it's impossible.
Zhao Yunshan had no choice but to bite her teeth and give up her love: "if the emperor can take a fancy to my twelve dark guards, it's also their blessing. Men, they should be ambitious and make contributions to the battlefield. Naturally, it's better than dying in the palace“
"If the empress is willing to give up her love, the emperor will thank her for the people in Dashun." Bai Zhengming pauses and continues: "the Queen Mother's money family affairs, according to the queen mother said to do, but the queen mother can always remind the money family, but don't want to make careless things."
Seeing the emperor let go, it was not in vain for Zhao Yunshan to plead with her old face, but it was a pity for her twelve secret guards: "emperor, the Qian family has been taught such a lesson this time. I think they will never do such a thing again. The queen mother is here to thank the emperor for the Qian family. And the emperor, she didn't know anything about this time. Now she knelt outside my palace for two hours in order to intercede for Qian's family. The empress knew that the emperor was busy with state affairs, but the emperor and lian'er were husband and wife after all. Lian'er really treated you. If the emperor is free, go to Ramadan to see her“
Hearing that Qu lian'er is ill, Bai Zhengming can't help frowning. She can't be blamed for the Qian family's affairs. On weekdays, in this palace, the most considerate one is imperial concubine qu. he really treats her coldly these two days.
"Thank you for your mother's concern. The emperor will go to Ramadan later." Bai Zhengming's words fell. Zhao Yunshan nodded to him with comfort and stood up to leave.
Zhao Yunshan came out of the imperial study and went to the moon house with Xu nvguan.
In the Ramadan, the maids just boiled the medicine according to the prescription of the imperial doctor. But before the medicine came to Qu lian'er, Qu lian'er knocked out the medicine bowl: "go out, you all go out. I don't want to drink this medicine. Now I don't even have anyone who cares about me. What's the use of drinking this medicine?"
"Lian'er, stop fooling around!" This scene is really hit by Zhao Yunshan.
