Chapter 54

"What topic do you want to turn on?!" The Empress Dowager Gu thinks again and again that she can't take risks. In case Qiu Mengmin is accused of murdering his nephew and her own defense becomes a joke, in case the Jiang family uses this reason to make waves, the Empress Dowager Gu will be afraid - for example, she thinks that it's suspicious that general Ruan's younger generation almost died in battle. After checking the cause of Qiu Jinglan's death, she will go to the Ruan family again?

Originally, the Jiang family's influence in the army was deeply rooted and far-reaching. They were supposed to take this opportunity to extend their authority into the court and drag all the political enemies into the water with the old case. What's more?!

So the Empress Dowager Gu thought and sneered and said, "not to mention that Qiu Jinglan died before the concubine Xihe. She is such a grandson. If there is anything suspicious about his death, the concubine will be vague about it?! It is said that Princess Ruan died only last year. If the death of her only son was related to Qiu Mengmin, she would be foolish enough to take her only daughter and live under the same roof with the enemy who killed her son for so many years? "

"Empress Dowager......" In the middle of the conversation, the Empress Dowager Gu cut off: "unbridled! I haven't finished my words yet. Who will allow you to interrupt! "

Empress Jiang immediately retorted, "maybe Princess Ning Yi has evidence?"

"When do you want to be trapped?!" In a rage, Empress Dowager Gu clapped the armrest of the jade chair and shouted, "what is the matter discussed today? What will you be in the dynasty? Where do you like to talk about!? Together with the mourning family and the Manchu Dynasty, they are here to chat with you at will! "

Empress Jiang snorted and said, "my daughter-in-law dare not." But his face was very angry.

All the officials at the bottom looked at their noses, noses, and hearts. In a flash, they became two rows of wooden posts. Apparently, no one wanted to get into the direct confrontation between the two later generations. Only the front of the civil servant was a purple robe man with a clean face and white sideburns. He was not afraid to stand up and come out: "two ladies should not hurt the harmony for some trifles. In the view of the old minister, now that they have agreed to It's better to discuss whether the king of Xihe is disrespectful to his mother. "

After a pause, he replied, "as for the death of Qianxihe Shizi, I think it's not too late to talk about it until today."

After the old minister came out and said something, both empress Gu and empress Jiang's tense face relaxed, obviously giving him face.

In autumn, I can't help guessing his identity.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Gu took even Qi, and nodded, "according to Xue Xiang."

There is no doubt that the purple robe chief, the two elders of Darui, is Xue Chang, a great hall giant who worships the Minister of the Ministry of officials and the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and who is also under the seal of the huaihou!

Xue Chang's words calmed down the quarrel of the second generation, but he was not satisfied. He bowed his hand and returned to the class as if nothing had happened.

"Empress dowager, majesty, empress!" When Xue Chang stood in the group and closed his eyes, one of them came out of the group and said, "I think that since the letter from Lian's and Ruan's wife Xihe Tai Fei has been confirmed, then Meng min, the king of Xihe, has no excuse for disobeying his mother!"

"Not bad!" The Queen's party rallied and said, "no matter whether Qiu Mengmin was cheated by his servants or intentionally accused by his servants, in a word, Lu had already been expelled from the royal palace for Princess Xihe, which had nothing to do with Qiu's family! In this case, can Qiu Mengmin continue to support her in the Royal Palace against the order of his mother? "

Autumn drag LAN covers the corner of her mouth and sneers. She turns her head to look at Qiu Mengmin, whose face is white at the moment. She is happy: "you think you can get away with the accusation that your mother and Dong Yao have made up the life of Princess Tai?! At present, if you support your biological mother, you will disobey your legitimate mother! Your own son is the king of lineage, and your mother will be exiled! Is such a son human? "

Now, the only way for Qiu Mengmin to retreat is to quit!

Not only resigning the Lord, but also handing over all the property on the public account of Xihe palace!

Give up everything of Xihe King - because Xihe Taifei denies that old lady Lu can enjoy the support of the autumn family as the master mother. So even if old lady Lu doesn't live in the Royal Palace and lives in any property of the West River King, it is against the West River Princess Tai!

Not only disobeyed the West River too imperial concubine, want to know old lady Lu Qiu Meng min a son! As an only son, he was raised by his mother. He lived in a prominent royal palace and let his widowed mother live separately. Can the courtiers impeach him? Can public opinion condemn?

Therefore, Qiu Mengmin can only resign from the Lord as his heir. He must obey the decision made by his mother before his death. As a son, he can't ignore his old mother - so the only choice is to give the king to others and support his mother with his own ability.

"The descendants of the autumn family have always been thin, and there are no collateral children at present." Qiu xuilan squinted slightly, and guessed how Qiu Mengmin would choose, "Qiu Mengmin can give the title to one of his two sons, live away from the house, and support Lu Shi with an industry not from the West River Palace But is he willing? Even if willing, ha ha, is he at ease? "

The court was waiting for Qiu Mengmin's answer, but they didn't reply for a long time, and everyone was a little impatient -

the Queen's party was about to urge, but the Empress Dowager party knew that Qiu Mengmin was afraid of a bad answer at present, so one of them came out to rescue: "although Xi he was expelled from Lu's family, Qiu Zhongyan was the successor of the Marquis at that time. Nowadays, there is no one in the family of Qiu Zhongyan. If Qiu Mengmin doesn't return his successor to the government, does the family of Xihe king have to be cut off? If therefore he is not allowed to support his mother, it is too much! "This man is clearly the Empress Dowager's party. Before the words fall, he bows down to dangu. "I beg the Empress Dowager's wife to abolish the order of the former Xihe Princess..."

"Ridiculous!" Before that, Dou offered wine again. He brushed his sleeve, and Yahu scolded him when he didn't raise it. "It's a rule since ancient times that the master mother is in charge of concubines! When Xi River Princess Tai was expelled from Lu's family, she had the right not to say. There was also a reason! Gu Ying, you said that the Empress Dowager's wife should abolish the decision made by the Empress Dowager before her death. It's just a matter of reversing the common people's right and wrong! It's insane! "

Gu Ying's name is the Empress Dowager. She looks at her. She is wearing a shallow Fei official robe. She looks like an official rank of about five grades. She is not good-looking, but she is very tall. She is scolded by the son of the third grade for offering wine. She is not angry. She says in a deep voice: "the reason is just a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Such small things, even rough servants, Rarely will they be driven out of the door! What the imperial concubine Xihe did... "

"Gu Ying, you are so kind-hearted!" One of the Wupin military officials suddenly stood up. He could not see his age. The purpose of the sword eyebrow star was to be brave, but his face was a little green. He seemed to be addicted to wine for a long time. This man is not of high grade, but he looks relaxed and fearless.

He said lazily, "dare to ask dalizheng, is it natural that the mistress is in charge of the concubines?" As soon as this person opens his mouth, autumn billows can't help but feel awe inspiring!

Gu Ying also frowned and was about to pick up the answer. The Wupin military officer had no patience to wait for him. He went down and said, "at that time, Princess Xihe asked her to feed the porridge to the dog. When she finished drinking, she told Princess Xihe, did she cheat her mother?"

"In that case, what's wrong with the way that Princess Tai of the Xihe River drives out Lu?" The Wupin officer sneered and said, "Dali is in charge of the prison - do you usually rely on the staff to deal with cases?"? Do you want to make trouble with such a clear thing? "

"Jiangyadan!" Gu Ying's face turned white with rage and shouted, "the so-called legal principle is nothing more than human feelings."

JIANG Yadan sneered and cut off: "so you can know that Lu's disobedience is in front of her, and she is responsible for being driven out of the palace! After Qiu Mengmin disobeyed his mother, so far, the evidence is conclusive, but you still speak for him shamelessly? I think you are looking at his two flowery daughters who have not yet come out of the cabinet. They are lying here with their eyes open! "

"Shut up!" From the purple robe, there was a chorus of yelling - the autumn billows with their heads bowed and the corners of their mouths helplessly raised a wry smile: "the eight princes of the river, really three words are inseparable from the private affairs of men and women. Love I thought he had a problem with his brother, Jiang Yashuang. That's what he said on purpose that day! It turns out that it's his fixed skill to attack each other when they quarrel

That's right. As soon as the Wupin military official opened his mouth, Qiulan could tell that he was the eighth son of jiangba who stopped the frost at Ganli palace that night!

"Yadan, back down!" A purple round necked, jade belt thirteen Li, hanging goldfish's chief one side out, one side deep voice command.

Autumn drag LAN noticed that before this person was listed, he was the third in the ranks of civil servants. I don't need to think about it. It must be one of the two secondary phases of Darui now!

In the meeting, Tang Zimo is the father-in-law of Guangyang Wang Shizi, his only son, Tang Dan, and Princess Changping, the daughter of the Empress Dowager.

And Jiang Tianao, the second phase, is the nephew of Jiang QianChuan, the Duke of the state of Qin. Jiang Tianao's identity in Jiang family is very special. His grandfather and grandmother died early. His two uncles, Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou, were raised by his father Jiang Qianshan as slaves.

Therefore, as Jiang Qianshan's legitimate eldest son, Jiang Tianao's official career is supported by two uncles, even the Qin Duke and the son of Jibei marquis.

These two positions coincide with a empress dowager party and a queen's party. Now, the name of Hujiang Yadan without surname comes out, which can be imagined to be Jiang Tianao.

When the leader of the Queen's party appeared, the leader of the Queen's party could not sit and watch. Jiang Tianao's voice was still there. Tang Zimo, the second ranking civil servant, had followed him and said quietly, "can the court be regarded as a marketplace when it comes to discussing before the Emperor?"

"It's not good for Gu Ying either. It's too much to be reasonable." When Jiang Tianao retreated from his nephew, he turned to Tang Zimo, but he was not warm or angry. He said calmly, "Yadan is young and invincible. He fell in his way."

"No matter what, Jianglang has just lost his respect."

"Tang Xiang thinks a lot. When the court is discussing business, it's hard to avoid a heated wording when they disagree." Jiang Tian's unconcerned Chao Dancong bowed his hand, "empress dowager, her majesty and empress don't care. Why does Tang Xiang want to stare at her and try to change the topic?"

Tang Zimo looked down at the ranks of the first imperial officials: "one thing comes to one thing, no matter whether it's up or down, it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with it!"

An official of the imperial court came out to impeach Jiang Yadan and insulted the court.

Of course, the Queen's party refused to let it go, but also called out the official to impeach Gu Ying. Seeing that the topic was going to diverge, Xue Chang, who kept his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said lightly, "I didn't say that I had a good idea about the legitimate mother and biological mother of the Xihe palace?"

The prime minister's prestige was extremely high. When he spoke, the two ministers who were quarreling fiercely retreated without saying anything. Even Tang Zimo and Jiang Tianao looked solemn and said in a different voice, "what Xue said is very true."The above empress dowager Gu and others are impatient too - have you finished talking about things like this?

Empress Jiang clapped the armrest of the jade chair and said, "Qiu Mengmin! You said, what are you going to do now? "

Qiu Mengmin's lips trembled for a moment, and he knelt heavily: "minister I dare not disobey the order of my mother, Xihe Taifei, and I can't bear that my mother, Lu Shi, is lonely and helpless. I ask the Empress Dowager's mother, her majesty and Empress's mother to give me permission to go to the throne and return to the marketplace to support my mother with my own strength! "

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager party all sighed: sandwiched between the legitimate mother and the biological mother, to be honest, there is no one who is not in trouble.

But before the Empress Dowager's party could explain to him, empress Jiang said thoughtfully, "you still have a little conscience! But even though you've been cheated by your servants by receiving your biological mother's support from the Royal Palace over the years, you still don't respect your legitimate mother. Do you recognize this? "

Qiu Mengmin said bitterly, "I am guilty!"

"You will be fined 100 gold again. You are not allowed to go out of the official account of the Xihe palace!" Empress Jiang, Fengmu and Hanwei, shouted sharply, "in addition, he will be rewarded with twenty tins and executed in front of the palace gate to make an example!"

After she disposed of it in one breath, she smirked at the water like Valley queen mother, "mother, do you have a look?"

"That's it!" said queen Gu coldly The Empress Dowager's party can't take advantage of it any more. It's in vain. Although the Empress Dowager isn't happy, she can only do so.

After the scattered Dynasty, Qiu Mengmin, who was staggering to step down the jade steps, looked at his niece deeply, and his eyes seemed to have an unexpected resentment.

Lian Chen saw this, turned his head, and whispered to the autumn billows on his side: "although he has resigned from the Duke, your grandfather has no other heirs, and it will be your cousin who will take the throne later You should be careful! "

"Thank you for reminding me!" When Lian Chen didn't pay attention, she returned to her uncle with a smile. Peach blossom's bright eyes narrowed slightly, and she thought to herself, "take two servants to plead guilty and try to get through. Is the pit I dug so easy to climb out?"
