The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 823 Yufu Palace Words
In the small garden, there was a dead silence.

Zhao Yanxun didn't want to see things come to this point.

In today's world, the biggest crime is disloyalty to the emperor and disfilial piety to parents.

As an emperor, there is no king to be loyal to, and the biggest crime is "unfilial piety".

Filial piety is the current mainstream ideology, even if Zhao Yanxun made all kinds of bells and whistles to prove his sanctity, he would still be willing to bear such charges.

So he got up quickly, came to the queen mother and knelt down respectfully, and then kowtowed: "My son made a mistake, please calm down the queen mother!"

Things are getting out of control, and the queen mother doesn't want to see it.

After a few breaths of silence, trying to suppress her anger, the queen mother said: "The emperor... are you really unwilling to forgive me?"

After a few breaths, Zhao Yanxun said solemnly: "Mother...my son has already lenient me!"

The queen mother sneered a few times, and said, "I understand... you can go, you don't have to come here in the future!"

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was undoubtedly extremely sad.

She couldn't understand Zhao Yanxun's so-called overall situation, she only blamed herself for raising an unfilial son, and she only hated herself for being weak and unable to save her mother's family.

Hearing that there is no need to come to Yanshou Palace in the future, Zhao Yanxun became anxious immediately, and this really put himself on the charge of "unfilial piety".

"Mother, son..."

Before Zhao Yanxun finished speaking, the queen mother immediately reprimanded: "Get out!"

As the former Lord Gongdou, the Empress Dowager was also a decisive person, so she naturally acted without any muddle at the moment.

"Mother..."

"If you don't go, I'll go!" The queen mother got up immediately.

If the empress dowager is allowed to leave, wouldn't the matter become even more troublesome?

Now that the Spring Festival is just around the corner, and all the scholars from all over the country are here, it will be a big loss if they see the joke.

But at this time, Zhao Yanxun felt aggrieved if he changed his words directly.

So he could only kowtow and say: "Quiet the queen mother, my son and minister will leave!"

So, Zhao Yanxun got up from the ground and slowly exited the small garden.

"Zhuzi...Zhuzi..."

The empress dowager called the emperor "Zhuzi", and the others present only hoped that they didn't have long ears. It was not a good thing to hear these words.

"The Queen Mother..."

Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Fengxiu was about to speak, but the Queen Mother scolded: "Get out...all of you!"

Under the Queen Mother's fury, no one dared to stay here any longer, so everyone retreated after bowing their heads.

Walking out of the gate of the main hall, Zhang Fengxiu stopped in her tracks immediately, and said to the dozen or so maids who withdrew together: "If anyone spreads a word about what happened just now, you... all will die!"

Looking at everyone, Zhang Fengxiu asked coldly: "Do you understand?"

"The servant understands, and will never talk nonsense!"

Zhang Fengxiu immediately said: "Do your own thing!"

"Yes!"

After everyone retreated, Zhang Fengxiu took her court lady and walked outside the Yanshou Gate.

Walking out of the palace gate, Zhang Fengxiu showed a smile.

The Empress Dowager is not in harmony with the emperor, if she can properly reconcile it, her status in the harem will be greatly improved.

Inside the Longevity Palace, Mrs. Liu knelt in front of the Empress Dowager.

"It's all because of the fault of my concubine that the empress dowager and the emperor are at odds. Please punish the empress dowager!"

Although Mrs. Liu was not at the scene just now, she heard everything in the small garden, so she was naturally extremely panicked at the moment.

The queen mother was indeed very angry, but she would not spread her anger on the Cao family.

"It's none of your business, go back and tell your father, and say that the younger sister is incapable and can't help him!"

Mrs. Liu quickly said: "The emperor allowed Cao's family to pay for it with merit, and the queen mother has already helped Cao's family, so don't say that!"

The queen mother sighed, and wanted to say something more, but she didn't say the last word.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

On the other end, Zhao Yanxun walked out of Yanshou Palace and walked inside the palace wall with a dark face.

His face was ugly, and everyone he met along the way trembled, especially Wu Hong who followed behind him.

Although the status of the head of Qian'an Palace is glorious, he always feels that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and Wu Hong is in pain and happiness.

Whether intentionally or not, Zhao Yanxun came outside Yufu Palace.

Feeling the tranquility inside, Zhao Yanxun walked into Yufumen.

"Kill the emperor!"

"Kill the emperor!"

The emperor's sudden visit made the maids inside extremely flustered, and they saluted in a little panic.

"Excuse me, where is the noble concubine?"

"Report to the emperor, the empress is in the side hall!"

"Ok!"

Entering the main hall of Yufu Palace, Lin Jingyu has already greeted her.

"Rongrong came here just now and said that the emperor will go to her later, why did you come here again?"

When she said this, Lin Jingyu was also watching Zhao Yanxun's face.

"Come on in a while!"

Judging by the downcast expression, something must have happened, so Lin Jingyu welcomed Zhao Yanxun into the side hall.

"You all go down!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, all the court ladies withdrew, leaving only two men and women in the room, as well as the sleeping child in the cradle.

"The emperor has something on his mind?"

Seeing the child fell asleep, Zhao Yanxun didn't want to tease him anymore, and lay down directly on the couch beside him.

With eyes closed, thinking about what happened in Yanshou Palace just now, Zhao Yanxun sighed: "My concubine, it's too difficult to be an emperor!"

Sitting next to Zhao Yanxun, Lin Jingyu said helplessly: "How can it not be difficult to bear the world in that position!"

Still closing his eyes, feeling the fragrance beside him, Zhao Yanxun continued: "The imperial court is a public instrument, and I am the Son of Heaven, so naturally the world should be the most important thing. Is this wrong?"

Seeing Zhao Yanxun like this, Lin Jingyu felt distressed and asked, "Who can force the emperor to this level?"

"The Cao family was investigated, and my mother asked me to bend the law for personal gain and let the Cao family go!"

"What did the Cao family commit?"

"If you don't pay taxes and don't follow the national policy, you will be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment!"

After a few breaths of silence, Lin Jingyu asked again: "Are you having trouble with your mother?"

"It's not just a quarrel, it's all arguing!"

Lin Jingyu really didn't expect the matter to develop to this point.

"Whether the emperor is willing or not, the queen mother must be calmed down, otherwise I'm afraid it will damage the emperor's virtue!"

Opening his eyes, Zhao Yanxun and Lin Jingyu looked at each other, and said, "How come I don't know these truths!"

"It's just that this time, it really hurt the queen mother's heart. I was kicked out of the Longevity Palace just now!"

"This..." Lin Jingyu was helpless, the situation was worse than she imagined.

After a few breaths of silence, Lin Jingyu tentatively said: "How about... the emperor spared the Cao family?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun turned around directly and lay on the couch with his back facing.

"In the final analysis, the Cao family is very kind to the queen mother, and the emperor treats the Cao family... I am afraid that not only the queen mother is angry, but those people outside will also think that the emperor is a cold-hearted person!"

Turning around, Zhao Yanxun asked with a gloomy face; "You mean, I did something wrong!"

Anyone else would be intimidated, but Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "I don't dare to have such intentions, this is not to relieve the emperor!"

With a cold snort, Zhao Yanxun turned his head away again.

Only when Lin Jingyu was with him would he remove all pretense and show his true emotions.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Jingyu said again: "Why don't you... make a deal?"

"How to compromise?"

"In addition to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the court can also ask other yamen to investigate, such as... the supervisor of the editor under the emperor!"

Let the editorial supervisor investigate, and there will be no perversion of the law for personal gain, because this is not an ordinary judicial procedure.

"This..." Zhao Yanxun sat up suddenly, with some hesitation in his expression.

Picking up the teacup at the side, Lin Jingyu handed it to Zhao Yanxun and said, "Your Majesty, you must know that if the Queen Mother is not happy, things will be serious!"

After taking the teacup, Zhao Yanxun's eyes were deep: "Wait a little longer!"
