After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

After Jiang Chen heard what the emperor said, he said to him:

"It's the emperor's business if the government is not upheld, but as a minister, I cannot use that as a reason to betray the imperial court."

After the emperor heard what Jiang Chen said, he said to him with great appreciation:

"As expected of a loyal minister, I protect your court with every word and deed. It is truly your emperor's fortune to have your Jiang family assist you in the Xuanwu Dynasty."

Jiang Chen said:

"The emperor has rewarded you."

At this moment, the eunuch hurried in and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhou is outside asking for an audience."

The emperor waved to him and said:

"Invite him in quickly."

As soon as Prime Minister Zhou came in, everyone saw that he looked panicked. As soon as he saw the emperor, he said:

"Your Majesty, something bad happened. Yeluhan ran away."

Everyone in the room looked at the Prime Minister. The emperor asked eagerly:

"What are you talking about? Yeluhan ran away. What happened?"

The Prime Minister hurriedly stepped forward and said to the Emperor:

"Your Majesty, officials from Dali Temple just came to report that the man in custody is not Yeluhan himself at all."

At this time, the emperor's face changed a little, and he anxiously said to the prime minister:

"How could this happen? The prison in Dali Temple has many checkpoints. How could an unarmed prisoner escape from it? There must be someone colluding with both inside and outside, otherwise it would be impossible to escape."

The Prime Minister said:

"The emperor is right, the officials of Dali Temple said. Just a few days ago, the Queen visited the prison. Apart from that, no one has ever had contact with the prisoners."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately understood the reason. He said to the prime minister very angrily:

"Send the Queen to come see me immediately."

The eunuch agreed and hurriedly went to invite the queen. Not long after, the queen was invited over by the eunuch.

The queen felt uneasy. She looked at the emperor secretly and saw that the emperor saw the queen coming in.

"The queen is really clever. She dares to blatantly go to the prison to save people. I didn't expect that you are very familiar with this trick of concealing the truth."

After hearing what the emperor said, the queen felt nervous. She pretended to be calm and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I did not understand what your Majesty meant."

The emperor sneered at him and said:

"I didn't expect the queen to tell lies. She really didn't blush at all. There are people from Dali Temple, and you are still pretending to be there. Let me ask you, have you ever been to the prison of Dali Temple?"

The queen glanced at the emperor and wanted to deny it, but knew that it was inappropriate to say so. After a moment of hesitation, she said to the emperor:

"Yes, I have been there. As a queen, I can go and see him. Isn't it allowed? Who stipulates that you can't visit him in prison?"

The emperor sneered and asked her:

"Where did you go when you went to visit the prisoner? Where was the person?"

The queen did not dare to look at the emperor, but she insisted:

"How could I know someone else? If you didn't go to Dali Temple to ask for someone, why did you call me here for interrogation? Just because I went to the prison to see him, do you think I was the one who released him?"

The emperor looked directly at her and said:

"In the prison of Dali Temple, you, the queen, are the only ones who have ever entered. Do you think that if you just replace him with someone, you won't be discovered? You are too confident. Even now, do you still have to be stubborn? "

Seeing that things had become like this, the queen might not even believe it if she continued to deny it, so she simply said to the emperor:

"The emperor is right, I let him go. I couldn't bear to see him, a marshal, reduced to a prisoner like this. That's why I let him go."

When the emperor met the queen, she said that she was justified in even secretly releasing people. He immediately became furious and ordered:

"Come here, drive the queen out of her Cining Palace and send her to the cold palace immediately. She and I will never see each other again."

Now, it was the queen's turn to be anxious. She said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, please don't, I am your queen, you can't put me in the cold palace just because of this matter."

The emperor's eyes were filled with anger. He looked at the queen and said:

"Are you the only one who deserves to be a queen? You are supposed to honor the world and benefit the people. Look what you have done? You and Yeluhan are ruthless and try every possible means to kill Fan Yao. Again and again. The third one wanted to take his life. This time, Yeluhan openly wanted to take Fan Yao's life under my eyes. God is wise. Not only was Fan Yao not killed by you, he also returned to me in this way. I might as well tell you now, haven't you always been afraid that I will make Fan Yao the crown prince? After he recovers from his injury, I will tell the world and let all the ministers and people know that only Fan Yao is my son. Only he is the most qualified to be the crown prince of the Northern Kingdom."
