After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain
Chapter 13: Raising an army to hold the culprit accountable
Chu Qinghuang arranged her robes and took Fucang into the palace.
The emperor's royal palace was very lively.
In addition to the Queen Mother, the Empress, Concubine Feng, and Concubine Duan, there are also the Prime Minister Feng, the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Libu, Wang Yushi, Ding Yushi... as well as the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince. Sixth princess.
There were a lot of people and the atmosphere was very depressing. It felt like a storm was coming and the building was full of storms.
As Xu Hai sang loudly: "The Seventh Princess is here!"
The hall instantly became quiet.
Chu Qinghuang looked around slowly and walked in expressionlessly. Everyone's eyes fell on her. Those eyes contained anger or indifference, fear or confusion. Of course, some of them were watching the show calmly.
Prime Minister Feng's face was very ugly. Seeing Chu Qinghuang appear, he said in a deep voice: "I wonder what Jin Zhi did that made Her Royal Highness so angry that she did not hesitate to lynch him?"
Ding Yushi frowned: "Although Her Royal Highness the Princess has a title, she cannot be punished as a doctor. The Prince Consort is the son of the Prime Minister, and he and Her Royal Highness are husband and wife. Is it a bit too much for Your Highness to use severe punishment on him?"
Chu Tianyin frowned and said in the tone of a righteous man: "How can the Seventh Sister lynch the consort? If the princesses follow suit in the future, the status of the consort will plummet. Where does this put the laws of Xiqi? At the expense of the dignity of the royal family. Where?"
Everyone began to angrily accuse each other.
The Queen Mother looked coldly: "Xiao Qi went to the Tai Hospital last night to get some medicinal materials. I wonder who the medicine was for?"
She originally thought that Chu Qinghuang was bringing medicine to Feng Jinzhi, but after asking today, she found out that after returning home last night, Chu Qinghuang did not step into Wutong Garden where Jinzhi lived. Even in the middle of the night, Jinzhi had a fever, and the servant asked for it. In front of her, Chu Qinghuang reluctantly went to Wutong Garden for a while.
"Jin Zhi is a weak scholar and has never been punished by a staff. What's more, the princess herself asked the emperor to make the decision on this marriage, but now..." Feng Guifei looked sad, "I still ask the emperor to make the decision, don't let the courtiers feel cold."
Chu Qinghuang looked indifferent, and after entering, he silently looked at the middle-aged man sitting behind the imperial desk - the father of the original owner Chu Qinghuang, the current king of Xiqi, a man who once loved this daughter like the apple of his eye.
At this time, he was just a majestic and slightly anxious emperor.
His anxiety was etched between his brows and eyes, and although he tried his best to hide it, it was nowhere to be seen in Qinghuang's eyes.
And this kind of anxiety can never be because of Feng Jin.
When Feng Cheng saw Chu Qinghuang's cold and arrogant attitude, he became even more dissatisfied: "Your Highness Princess——"
"What are you shouting for?" Chu Qinghuang turned to look at him with cold eyes, "Feng Jinzhi was rude to me and insulted and cursed me at every turn. I was extremely merciful by not killing him. Does the prime minister have any objections to my behavior? "
Feng Cheng met her cold eyes and shuddered unexpectedly. Then his face changed slightly: "Jinzhi insulted the princess? This is impossible. Jinzhi has always been a man who knows etiquette and observes etiquette. It was also the princess who wanted to marry him. That’s why——”
"The Prime Minister seems to be very dissatisfied with me." Chu Qinghuang frowned slightly, and his tone was extremely cold, "Feng Jinzhi married me, did you wrong him?"
Prime Minister Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at the emperor behind the case, "I...I don't mean that."
The marriage was granted by the imperial decree. If he dared to express his grievance, wouldn't he be dissatisfied with the emperor?
The Secretary of the Household Department said: "The princess and the consort have always had a good relationship before, why suddenly——"
"There is no need for you to interfere with my affairs." Chu Qinghuang interrupted him coldly, not giving any face to anyone, "Let alone a mere fifty boss, if he dares to displease me again, I will Chop him up and feed him to the dogs!”
As soon as the cold and bloodthirsty voice came out, it was like a drop of water turning into ice in the freezing cold.
Everyone present shuddered and fell silent for a moment.
"I am the Princess Protector, and she represents the dignity of the royal family. Feng Jinzhi has been disrespectful to me since she entered the princess's mansion." Chu Qinghuang looked at everyone coldly, "What is the crime of offending the royal family? What should I do if I insult the princess? ? Even if he is the legitimate son of the Feng family, I will not let him dominate me!"
Prime Minister Feng's expression suddenly changed: "Jin Zhi will never dare to——"
"Not only does he dare, but he has been doing this all the time." Chu Qinghuang's voice was as cold as ice, "Does Feng Xiang need to find someone to confront him?"
Prime Minister Feng's face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
"Seventh sister." Chu Yiling came over and persuaded in a gentle voice, "Seventh sister should restrain herself a little in front of the Queen Mother and Emperor Father. Don't be so impulsive. Although the prince-in-law has some shortcomings, but -"
"There is no need to persuade me." Chu Qinghuang narrowed her eyes and flicked her robe sleeves slowly, "Feng Jinzhi has been in my house for one day, and he is my consort. I can do whatever I want to do with him. Others No right to comment.”
Chu Yiling looked at her in disbelief: "Seventh sister?"
"Qinghuang." His Majesty the Emperor finally spoke, with a hint of disapproval in his voice, "Feng Jinzhi is your consort after all. He is being married by a matchmaker and has paid homage to heaven and earth. Don't embarrass him too much."
Chu Qinghuang was noncommittal and asked calmly: "Is Father worried about paying tribute to Dongling this year?"
"Yes." The emperor nodded, with worries piling up on his brows, and had no time to pay attention to Feng Jinzhi's affairs. "The national treasury is not sufficient. In the past two years, tribute has been paid every year. The national treasury has long been overwhelmed, but Shu and Dazhou have not been able to do so for a year. Fall, I don’t want to show weakness to Dong Ling, but I have no power to compete. I’ve really had trouble sleeping and eating these past two days.”
Chu Qinghuang said indifferently: "I have a way."
The emperor was shocked and looked up at her suddenly: "Do you have a way?"
The queen mother, the imperial concubine and a group of ministers looked at her at the same time, with suspicion and inexplicable uneasiness in their eyes.
"There are many corrupt officials in Xiqi. It is enough to fill the treasury by confiscating two houses at random." Chu Qinghuang said in a calm tone, "The reason why Dongling is so powerful is that corrupt officials have been killed long ago. Without corrupt officials, the treasury naturally has sufficient silver to manage the army and raise soldiers. Xiqi can also follow suit."
After a pause, "You can send someone to investigate it recently, and take the opportunity to punish corrupt officials."
The faces of several officials present changed at the same time, and the momentum of asking for punishment just now was no longer seen.
"The Prime Minister is the head of all officials, so let's start with the Prime Minister's family." Chu Qinghuang's eyes turned slightly, "The Prime Minister has always been loyal to the Emperor, and he should not oppose my suggestion."
After the words fell, the expression on Prime Minister Feng's face froze instantly.
