Chapter 185: Disappointing Loyal Officials
This is what the Queen Mother meant. "Xuan Zheng acted recklessly. Once he lost power, he knew how people are. Naturally, he wanted to please you. What's so strange about that?"
The emperor was silent. The empress dowager thought that he had heard her words to heart, so she did not urge him. She was thinking about how the emperor would deal with Xuan Zheng, the heartless man.
The emperor was indeed thinking about Xuan Zheng, but it had nothing to do with what she was thinking. His mind was filled with Xuan Zheng trying to please him.
It suddenly occurred to him that if Xuan Zheng was trying to please him, the kid from the Lin family would naturally feel aggrieved. When he thought of the jerk's nose being crooked with anger, he almost laughed out loud.
Fortunately, Eunuch Wu was smart. He pretended to cough and finally brought his thoughts back to his mind which was gradually drifting away.
The more the empress dowager looked, the more she felt something was wrong. The emperor didn't look angry and even had a hint of a smile on his face.
what happened?
Shouldn't the emperor feel sorry for Yunfeng with her and then angrily scold Xuan Zheng?
"Your Majesty, have you thought of how to deal with Xuan Zheng?"
What? Deal with Xuan Zheng? The emperor frowned. When did he say he was going to deal with Xuan Zheng?
If Xuan Zheng was willing to please him, giving him the throne would not be a big deal, not to mention that he only beat Zhuge Yunfeng who had offended him.
But the Queen Mother really dared to think.
Whether it was Xuan Zheng trying to please him or Zhuge Yunfeng dealing with Xuan Zheng.
To be honest, I'm going to say something that a son shouldn't say. The Emperor knew that the Empress Dowager was short-sighted and a little brainless, but he didn't expect her to be so brainless.
For Zhuge Yunfeng, deal with the prince of the current dynasty?
If you tell others about it, it's enough to make people laugh to death.
"Although Xuan Zheng's actions are not to my liking..." The most important thing is the fact that he favors Lin Chengyu. The emperor lowered his eyes to hide the sourness in his eyes and his dissatisfaction with the Zhuge family and the queen mother. "But it is not justifiable for a prince of the current dynasty to be convicted for punishing someone who speaks out against his superiors."
The Queen Mother's eyes widened, not believing what she heard. "You mean, just let it go? Yunfeng has suffered so much, and you're just going to let it go?"
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "If we punish Xuan Zheng for this, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the court."
The Queen Mother asked in return: "According to what the Emperor said, are you determined to make the loyal ministers feel disappointed?"
The emperor held his forehead helplessly, feeling speechless. If anyone else dared to mess with him like this, they wouldn't even be found dead by now.
"A loyal minister? A loyal minister who speaks out in public and disrespects the royal family?" The coldness in the emperor's eyes could no longer be concealed, and the empress dowager was speechless for a moment. The emperor continued, "What's more, Zhuge Yunfeng is just a commoner, not even a minister, let alone a loyal minister."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she slammed the table again, "I am talking about the Zhuge family. Yunfeng's father and uncles are not white men. Aren't you afraid that they will be dissatisfied if you do this?"
The nanny was standing beside the empress dowager and couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that the empress dowager was so angry that she lost her mind? No matter what the Zhuge family was, they were just subjects. How could the empress dowager say that the Zhuge family was dissatisfied with the emperor?
There is no trivial matter in the royal family. The Emperor is filial to the Empress Dowager, so he doesn't care so much. If it were someone else, this would be a big deal.
The emperor's expression was calm. "The Zhuge family was at fault first. I am not going to argue with them. I am already showing mercy for the sake of my mother. If they are still dissatisfied, let them come to me and speak."
But how could the people of Zhuge family dare to say these things in front of the emperor? The empress dowager knew in her heart that the people of Zhuge family were gentle and submissive, and timid. They would not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, and would only talk to her about any grievances they had.
But the Zhuge family is her maternal family. She didn't dare to stand up for them before. Now that she is the queen mother, if she still lets her maternal family suffer any injustice, she would be ashamed of the ancestors of the Zhuge family.
If her mother's family was in power, why would she need to make such plans for them?
The Queen Mother sighed, "You also know that the Zhuge family is the most cautious and careful. How dare they bother you with these things? Aren't you deliberately trying to evade me?"
The emperor drank a sip of tea and ran out of patience. "Since my mother insists that I deal with Xuan Zheng, now that the border is in a tight spot, I will send him to fight for the country. This can be regarded as a way to atone for his crime."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly. "At this time of year, the border is extremely cold. Xuan Zheng has been pampered since he was a child. This can be regarded as a small punishment and a big warning."
The emperor lowered his eyes. It was also good for the empress dowager to be short-sighted. If she were replaced by a smarter one, she would not be so easily fooled.
He said: "But punishing the prince of the dynasty to this extent for a person who committed a crime is a disgrace to the royal family. It's fine for the queen mother to know it herself, but she must not tell anyone else."
Although the Queen Mother did not think that doing so would do any harm to the royal family's reputation, the fact that the Emperor could do this showed that he still cared about the Zhuge family. She could not press him any further, so she agreed reluctantly.
However, the Zhuge family still needs to be appeased.
Zhuge Yunfeng is Zhuge Yunqing's biological brother and Zhao's only son. When Zhao went to the palace to pay homage to the empress dowager, she heard that the emperor did not deal harshly with Prince Linhuai, and she was very indignant.
The Queen Mother wanted to tell the truth several times, but remembering the Emperor's warning, she had to keep it to herself.
When Zhao returned home and told this story, Zhuge Yunfeng was so angry that he smashed the medicine bowl on the ground. He became agitated and coughed non-stop, unable to speak complete sentences.
Zhao was so distressed that she burst into tears and complained, "The Queen Mother said that she would protect our family, but now that the critical moment has come, I know that these words were just lies."
She patted her son's back to calm him down, "You've been treated like this, why didn't the Queen Mother say she would let you get your revenge, and just let that arrogant person get away with it like this?"
Zhuge Yunfeng finally calmed down and said weakly: "The emperor is the empress dowager's biological son, and the prince of Linhuai was raised by the emperor himself. The empress dowager naturally treats them closer than us."
Zhao looked puzzled, "But isn't it said that Prince Linhuai has fallen out of favor? Why does the Queen Mother have to worry so much?"
Zhuge Yunfeng lost a lot of weight after this incident, his cheeks were sunken and yellow, and the viciousness in his eyes was frightening. "Although the emperor is afraid of Prince Linhuai, he still has feelings for him, otherwise how could he let him live freely until now? The queen mother is naturally on the side of the emperor. What is our family? In the eyes of the queen mother and the emperor, I am afraid we are not even as good as servants."
Zhao thought so too. If the Queen Mother really supported their family, she would not have watched them suffer such a great injustice without any reaction.
"If you don't want to care, why did you send two doctors over that day? It would be better for you to let go from the beginning, rather than let us down now."
Zhuge Yunfeng was really angry. He was in this state now because of those people in the royal family. "Since this is the case, why don't we turn the world upside down? It's better than being a fish in the sea and being slaughtered by others now."
