With a gloomy face, the emperor ordered Laixi Eunuch coldly, "Let Concubine Rou bring the third prince in."

After Concubine Rou hugged the third prince and bowed to the emperor, the emperor began to question her, "You are dissatisfied with my judgment."

"I don't dare, I feel that Zhao'er has been wronged, and I want to ask my cousin to make the decision for him." Concubine Rou said softly.

Concubine Rou's natal family sent a letter to the palace two days ago saying that Liu Jingzhao was wronged, someone deliberately framed him, and asked Concubine Rou to test the emperor's attitude and see if she could intercede for Liu Jingzhao.

The emperor looked at the third prince who was writhing in Concubine Rou's arms because he was uncomfortable being hugged, then looked up at Concubine Rou's pretty face, and said playfully, "Oh, my imperial brother, and the Dali Temple of the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Punishment Many officials in the court, after many investigations, determined Liu Jingzhao's guilt. Could it be that they have wronged Liu Jingzhao? You, a woman in the palace, say that Liu Jingzhao is wronged. How can I believe you?"

Concubine Rou felt that the emperor's cousin's attitude towards her was different from usual, but she was worried about her younger brother and didn't have time to think about it.

"Cousin, you also know that Zhao'er has always been a failure. How could he cause such a big mess? Someone must have framed him. Because of his ignorance of political affairs, he has pushed all the blame on him. You must Find out the matter and return Zhao'er's innocence." Concubine Rou said pitifully.

It was not the first day that the emperor knew that Concubine Rou was beautiful but competitive. At this time, he found that Concubine Rou was really shallow compared to the Queen and Concubine Yan Gui.Even though Liu Jingzhao was plotted by others, the decision to plant corn was made by him himself. It is an indisputable fact that the people in Ganlong County were forced to rebel, and it cannot be offset by a single sentence.

Whether intentionally or not, Liu Jingzhao cannot escape the guilt.

"No one has wronged him. The Third Division suggested that he be sentenced to death to outrage the common people. I exile him to the northeast instead of the northwest. This is the last kindness to him." The emperor said coldly.

"The bitter cold in the Northeast, Zhao'er has been spoiled and spoiled since childhood, how can he bear it?"

"It's his own doing."

"However, this is not what Zhao'er wanted. Cousin knew that Zhao'er was useless, so why did he listen to those ministers and let Zhao'er go to the northwest. He listened to his cousin and went to the northwest. Cousin didn't want to Saying to be the master for him, to find out the truth of the matter, but to exile him directly." Concubine Rou said in a moment of excitement.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en. Why did he go to the northwest? Don't you know what you have done? Are you blaming me?"

"The concubine dare not, the concubine is just complaining about Zhao'er, he trusts his cousin so much, but the cousin..."

"Liu Jue is not strict in teaching his children, and deprived him of the position of Captain Qingche."

"cousin!"

"Liu Jingjiao's qualifications are mediocre, his body is a vegetarian meal, and Jingzhao Shaoyin is dismissed."

Concubine Rou shut her mouth in shock, and hugged the third prince who was about to break free from her arms, she was afraid that if she spoke again, the emperor's cousin would continue to say things she couldn't afford.Father and brother are the pillars of the family, but a word from the emperor can knock them out of the clouds. Concubine Rou has never been so yearning for power before, this kind of right of life and death is really respectable, terrible and lovely.

The emperor didn't mean to let Concubine Rou go just because she gave in, "Concubine Rou connived at her family to bully others, deceive her superiors and conceal her inferiors, and was reduced to a concubine Rou. She was confined in the palace, and she was not allowed to step out of the palace gate without an edict."

"Cousin!" Concubine Rou hugged the third prince and knelt down and said mournfully. The third prince was so frightened that he started crying long ago, but Concubine Rou didn't bother to coax him, "What did Rou'er do wrong to make you treat me like this?"

The emperor was even more angry when he saw that Concubine Rou had no motherly heart, "Bringing the third prince to me to plead for your natal family is your biggest mistake. The emperor is a dignified prince, not a tool for your Liu family to seek power. Congratulations, Concubine Rou Send it back to the palace, and the Third Prince will be handed over to Li Guiren for upbringing temporarily."

Laixi stepped forward to hug the third prince from Concubine Rou's arms, and Concubine Rou hugged the third prince tightly and did not let go.

"Miss Rou, please hand over the third prince to this old slave." Eunuch Laixi urged.

"No, the emperor's son is mine, and no one can take it away."

"Cousin, don't let people come and snatch our emperor's son."

"Don't steal my child."

Concubine Rou was afraid that the third prince would be snatched away, so she hugged the third prince tightly, and the third prince was strangled and cried even more.But the cries of the third prince did not make the emperor change his decision.If Concubine Rou doesn't bring the third prince here today, he won't see her.But she brought the third prince and touched the emperor's scales.

His son was born as a noble prince, not a pawn or tool for his courtiers to hijack for the benefit of his family.

Eunuch Laixi called a few maids, snatched the third prince from Concubine Rou, and sent him to Li Guiren, Concubine Rou was also sent back to his palace.

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

He had indulged Concubine Rou's natal family before, but he didn't have much love for her. He intended to use the third prince as the whetstone of the fourth prince, and let the fourth prince solve it himself in the future.

Even if he listed the four princes as his heirs, it is difficult for a king to be a king. A king who has not fought for the throne, facing the complex and changeable court situation, can't play with those old foxes at all. It's good to be a puppet emperor by the powerful officials below .He had high hopes for the fourth prince, so he couldn't be kept in the greenhouse.The eldest prince and the second prince have been abolished, and it is enough to be an ordinary clan in the future.

The third prince can still support him. Although he hates the Liu family's eagerness to seize the heir apparent, he has also given him a lot of convenience, but he didn't expect to be unable to support him like this.The emperor also thought about the consequences of grinding the knife with the whetstone, but the child is still young and it is not known whether he will be able to grow up safely, so he did not rush it.What happened to the Liu family, it is not a good thing for the Queen's family to dominate. If the Qingping Hou Mansion becomes the second Yan family because it has no rivals, he will really have a reputation in the history books as a favored relative.

God knows, the emperor felt that he was going to die wronged.

The emperor demoted Concubine Rou to concubine Rou and confined her to the palace, and it spread throughout the palace in one afternoon.

The Queen was one of the first to get the news.

"Your Majesty, when the severe drought happened in the Northwest, the Emperor directly abolished Concubine Yan Gui's honorary title, and put Concubine Concubine Yan into the cold palace, which affected her family. Now she just demoted Concubine Rou to Concubine Rou. Does the Emperor still value Rou in his heart? Concubine, empress." said Mingzhu, the palace maid next to the empress.

The queen shook her head, "Not necessarily."

Some doubts appeared in Mingzhu's eyes.

"The love is deep and the responsibility is deep. The reason why the emperor treats the concubine softly is because the concubine Rou's mother comes from the emperor's mother family, and the mother family of the emperor is withered. The Liu family is treated favorably to show his benevolence, but the Liu family is not the real mother family of the emperor. In this way The love will only be consumed less and less." The queen explained.

When the emperor became impatient with Concubine Rou, it was when Concubine Rou really fell to the bottom.But the days before falling to the bottom may not be easy.The emperor's love is easy to give, and easier to take back.Whether it is sentient or not, it is like a play.

The queen doesn't look forward to those ethereal love, she just wants to guard the emperor's son and live well in the inner courtyard of the palace.When a man comes, she is a good wife, and when he doesn't come, she will be a good courtier and help him take care of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Laixi said that the Emperor didn't eat lunch, so he locked himself in his study and was sulking. He wants you to come over and persuade him." Nanzhu, another court lady, came forward to report.

"Nanzhu, go and order the small kitchen to cook some sweet soup. Bengong will bring the sweet soup to visit the emperor later, and Mingzhu will serve Bengong to change clothes."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Your Majesty, the empress has brought sweet soup to see you." Eunuch Laixi told the emperor.

The emperor kicked Eunuch Laixi, "It was you, an old bastard, who told the queen."

Laixi Gonggong confessed to the emperor, "Only the queen empress in the palace can persuade you to eat. The old slave is worried about your health, so he invited the empress on his own initiative."

Eunuch Laixi had been by his side since childhood, and the emperor never doubted Eunuch Laixi's loyalty.

"What are you doing in a daze, if you don't go to the queen, please come in."

"I'll go now, old slave." Eunuch Laixi smiled happily and invited the queen in.

"Chen and concubine greet the emperor."

"Zitong doesn't need to be too polite."

"The concubine heard that the emperor was sulking alone in the imperial study and refused to eat, so she asked the small kitchen to boil a cup of appetizing sweet soup, and asked the majesty to use some."

The emperor was still very proud of the queen, "Leave it alone, I will eat it when I want it."

"Then what if you don't want to eat all the time." The queen said with an expression of not wanting to lie to me.

The emperor laughed, "Zitong has a heart, I just feel hungry, thank you Zitong for the sweet soup."

The emperor opened the soup cup and drank the sweet soup slowly with a spoon.

"The emperor is worried about my concubine Rou." The queen asked softly.

The emperor shook his head, he was worried about the affairs of Ganlong County, and because he sentenced Liu Jingzhao lightly, the desk was full of notes scolding him by the censor.

The emperor is also stubborn.

The last time there was a severe drought in the Northwest that was concealed for so long, it was the Yan family who caused the trouble.Liu Jingzhao was able to avoid making such a big mistake from the eyes and ears of the King of Chu in the northwest. Someone must have pushed and even blocked the eyes and ears of the King of Chu.Liu Jingzhao has an unshirkable responsibility, but the emperor hates those who intervene in it even more.In order to attack political opponents, he did not hesitate to bet on the lives of the people.

They wanted him to kill Liu Jingzhao, but the emperor was unwilling.

"The emperor is worried about the affairs of Ganlong County. You have ministers like Prime Minister Rong, Li Shangshu, and Pei Shilang who are good at political affairs, a brave general like King Chu, and a talent like County Magistrate Zhao who discovered sweet potatoes and corn. Ganlong The crisis in Long County can definitely be resolved immediately. Don't put everything on your shoulders, and let the ministers share some of it for you." The emperor said.

"Zitong's words are reasonable." The emperor said perfunctorily.

Knowing that the emperor didn't listen, the queen dutifully persuaded him to cherish herself.

The queen's words reminded the emperor that the corn was originally found by Zhao Shutong, and the Liu family took the credit for Zhao Shutong.Now, Zhao Shutong is going to Ganlong to stabilize the situation, and this credit should be returned to others.

After the emperor tried his best to change Liu Jingzhao's death sentence into exile, he ordered to rectify Zhao Shutong's name.It is stated clearly that the corn offered by the Liu family was robbed of Zhao Shutong. It was Liu Jingzhao who disobeyed the emperor's order and promoted the corn to be planted by the people of Ganlong without permission. The once-prominent Concubine Rou's natal family fell silent.

The Liu family has been busy with corn for a year, and it can be said that fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain.

However, the emperor's magnanimity in punishing the Liu family made some people who had experienced official struggles couldn't help but think about it.Fearing that the Liu family would make a comeback, those who had been enemies with the Liu family in the past were not in a hurry to get worse.

"Congratulations, brother Zhao, for getting back your credit." Xie Qi congratulated Zhao Shutong after the emperor issued an order.

"I would also like to thank the Holy One for his insight." Zhao Shutong said.

Xie Qi and Zhao Shutong smiled at each other.

Whoever gave the corn first will get the credit. The emperor didn't make the decision for Zhao Shutong at the beginning, so there is no tenable reason.Now that the Liu family made a big mistake in corn, the emperor returned the credit to Zhao Shutong, and it was too late for the ministers to separate themselves from the Liu family, so how could they speak for them.

In the eyes of adults who support the orthodoxy, they also feel that it is better to return the credit to Zhao Shutong than to the young child of the third prince.

Xie Qi helped Zhao Shutong find [-] retired soldiers who were in their prime of life, and a martial arts master who had retired from the Ruyang Hou Mansion.

Zhao Shutong inquired about the situation of these people and accepted them all.

He is now receiving dividends every quarter from the wool shop, and these people can still afford to support them. The safety of his family in the northwest is the top priority.

The author has something to say: It was updated before twelve o'clock today, haha.

The emperor is a dog, but not so lecherous. In the previous chapter, Pei Shilang scolded him, but his subordinates scolded the leader in private, which could not be taken seriously.
