When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 1084 Queen: What do you mean?
When Su Wenqing said the latter part, he looked at Liu Changchun coldly.
But Liu Changchun was not the only one who was surprised by what Su Wenqing said.
But all the people present who are unaware of the situation!
Everyone subconsciously looked at the woman who was just sitting there, as if she had turned that place into a beautiful scenery.
Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
Because all along, it was thought that the Empress was the child from Old Grand Tutor Su's family who was rumored to have died young, but now it's said that she isn't?
While Su Wenqing was speaking, he noticed that Su Changan nodded slightly. The meaning was simple: he could say whatever needed to be said.
So looking at Liu Changchun now, Old Master Su's tone was still full of energy: "The village of your majesty's hometown was destroyed because of Xia Chenfeng's shame on Great Xia. Due to family changes, she fled all the way from Yandi to here. The journey was difficult and dangerous, and it was beyond words. After meeting Your Majesty, the two fell in love at first sight. But at that time, the evil queen Li Nishang controlled the harem and disrupted the previous dynasty. Xia Chenfeng colluded with his followers in the court to fight openly and secretly with the major families. There were also princes and officials who were eyeing and trying to disrupt the court at any time to interfere in the affairs of the capital!"
"The queen fled here from Yan and fell ill. She is weak and needs to take medicine frequently. But in the harem, Li Nishang knows about her existence and has never let it go. What's more, the queen has suffered dozens of assassination attempts just in the palace for a period of time. His Majesty was worried about the queen, so he sent her to my house. But even after she came to my Su family, she was still troubled by Xia Chenfeng that day. Fortunately, the queen was well-read and talented, but she was still poisoned that day! How difficult it was!"
"My Su family has received this divine grace, and with the blessing of our ancestors, Your Majesty came into my family and hit it off with my eldest daughter-in-law. She has recognized my Su family as her own, which is truly a blessing for my Su family! Afterwards, you killed Li Nishang, eradicated Xia Chenfeng, destroyed the aristocratic families that were causing chaos in Daxia, and now you have quelled the chaos in Mobei. All of these were a life-and-death struggle with Your Majesty!"
"Because we know that it is not easy for the queen, and we understand that it is not easy for the common people, even the children of my Su family dare not say much to the outside world, let alone speak wildly and recklessly to the outside world, and think highly of themselves! But your Liu family! However, because your term of service has expired, you were transferred to the capital. In the capital, you believed that you had a relationship with my daughter-in-law, but you forcibly climbed the relationship, spoke without restraint, repeatedly offended the queen, and disturbed the common people several times. You even looked down on the court officials. You are so rampant! Liu Changchun! Do you know your crime! You Liu family! Do you know your crime!"
At the end, Su Wenqing was extremely angry!
Over the past few months, Su Wenqing had intentionally indulged the Liu family in this way in order to completely eliminate this psoriasis-like scourge!
But Su Wenqing also knew that if he was not careful in this step, it would ruin the reputation of the eldest girl, so he was very cautious. As long as the Liu family did anything, he would definitely let Su Zimu, or even himself, come forward to resolve the issue and explain the compensation.
He was also afraid that his eldest daughter-in-law would know about what the Liu family had done, which would make her, already worried, even more insomniac and ruin her health, so he kept it a secret.
Fortunately, the Liu family has been doing their best and has been doing the stupid things he wanted without going too far.
But patience is limited after all. In fact, Su Wenqing was planning to let Li Jiulang set up the plan and Yang Shanchang close the net in the next few days, and then he would come forward to settle it personally, so as to get rid of this disaster completely and put an end to it, so as not to spoil the mood of His Majesty and the Queen when they return.
But he didn't expect that not only did His Majesty and His Majesty return early, but they also encountered this problem on their way back!
This is good though, because it will help restore the Empress' reputation and make it much easier to prove the Liu family's own misdeeds. Moreover, His Majesty called them here to show his authority, but in fact, he also wanted to restore the Empress' reputation.
Taking advantage of the situation, these old guys naturally have to work hard.
But he saw
A corner of gauze appeared under Su Changan's clothes.
On that day, Xun Kuang came back in a hurry and immediately looked for him, Gao Rou and others to discuss some things. Among them, Xun Kuang said that in order to avoid those great masters of the end of the world rushing to fight on the city wall, the queen jumped down, led the troops to another place, and fought many great masters of the end of the world alone, and was seriously injured in the end.
How many injuries have been sustained!
So how could Su Wenqing not be annoyed when he thought that Liu Changchun was just trying to use his relationship as the eldest daughter-in-law to get close to him!
The most important thing is that in her letters, the eldest girl never mentioned political affairs, but only family matters. Every time she wrote, she asked herself to have a good rest and not walk too much, or to pay attention to the weather, prepare knee pads in advance, etc.
What made Su Wenqing even more annoyed was how could he have forgotten the moral character of the Liu family and the fact that these people with the surname Liu dared to try to get close to the eldest girl. If he had thought of it earlier, he would have written a letter to Zhu Huang when the Liu family was still in Liuzhou. Zhu Huang would have had plenty of ways to make the Liu family shut up and get out!
As a result, he became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and in the end, the old master almost couldn't stand.
But a man in blue clothes appeared beside the old master at some point.
Su Wenqing turned his head and saw that it was the eldest girl who was supporting him.
Su Changan smiled and said, "It's a small matter. Why is Grandpa so angry?"
But at this time on the field
Complete silence!
Su Wenqing's voice was so loud that many people heard it. Then the news spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and quickly spread in circles.
Everyone looked at the person in green clothes.
The queen was not raised by the scholarly Su family.
But is she a peasant girl who fled from Yan?
Farm girl?!
Everyone looked at Su Changan's stunning and fairy-like figure.
Is this a farm girl?!
Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief and incredulity.
It was also at this point that many people thought of the poems and songs written by the Empress, as well as the Dream of the Red Chamber and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
And the lip rouge, perfume, clothes, etc.
A farm girl could do these?
but.
The old Grand Tutor said it in person in front of everyone, and neither the Empress nor His Majesty denied it.
Everyone looked at the Queen and gasped, with no expression in their eyes except horror.
Because this is exactly the story of a little sparrow that soars into the sky, flies through the gate of heaven and becomes a phoenix.
Isn’t this more exciting than the storybook?
But when everyone looked at the Queen, they felt that this statement was not right, because this was originally a phoenix that had fallen to the ground and had now returned to its original position.
Because how can an ordinary little sparrow look like this? Can it write such poems? Can it do all these things?
But some people looked as if they had suddenly realized something, and recalled what happened last year.
When the Queen was leaving the palace to return to the Su Mansion, there was a rumor on the street that the Queen was a refugee village girl who had fled from Yandi, and was saved by His Majesty who had left the palace when she was on the verge of death.
But no one believed it at the time because it was simply impossible.
But now it's possible.
Liu Changchun and Liu Dongshan both looked pale.
Liu Dongshan did not realize the seriousness of the problem, because in his opinion, even if she was an adopted daughter, she was still the daughter of her eldest sister.
But Liu Changchun collapsed to the ground.
If she is my biological daughter, then it’s fine.
But the adopted daughter.
That's it.
I'm finished, and the Liu family is finished.
But when they saw the Empress supporting the old Grand Tutor beside Su Wenqing, how could they
How could this be a peasant girl?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Liu Changchun swallowed his saliva and looked at Su Wenqing: "I"
Yang Meishan on the other side stared at Su Changan with his eyes wide open. Although there was also disbelief in his eyes, he was much smarter than Liu Changchun. Now looking at Su Wenqing, especially listening to the words of this old master who was gradually giving up power, he understood all at once.
If the Liu family just behaves and does nothing, nothing will happen.
But if he did it, he would be trapped in the old Grand Tutor's trap, which he should not have been in, but he was trapped because he was too close to the Liu family, just like what happened to his son and Liu Dongshan today.
And the queen is definitely a peasant girl!
Since Su Wenqing dared to say this, it must be true, because this matter cannot be taken lightly!
But no matter what.
That's it.
I'm finished, and the Yang family is finished too.
Liu Changchun looked at Su Wenqing, and even more at the Queen Mother, and couldn't figure out what to do!
Because according to what he originally thought, if he was so ostentatious, even if the Queen Mother came back and knew about it, he would definitely be safe with his elder sister around. Especially, could the Queen Mother kill him?
After all, I didn’t cause any big trouble!
but.
Whether the queen punishes herself or not
After being punished, the queen accepted it. Compared with becoming the emperor's uncle, being punished was a small matter, because she couldn't be beheaded.
If there is no punishment, it means that the Queen has admitted the matter, which is naturally better!
But
The queen is not the eldest sister's biological daughter, but only an adopted daughter! ?
If I cling to him like this, I'd be courting death!
Thinking of the consequences, Liu Changchun looked at the Queen and shook his head: "Impossible, impossible! How could the Queen be an ordinary peasant girl! Absolutely impossible, and even if she is an adopted daughter, then I am..."
But just when Liu Changchun said this, Yang Meishan kicked Liu Changchun directly in the face.
Liu Changchun screamed.
Yang Meishan pointed at Liu Changchun and said, "Who are you? Are you worthy? Still trying to argue here! I was fooled by you for a while, and I believed you because of my greed. But I forgot that being an official is like studying. A book is one thing, and it takes accumulation every day."
While talking, Yang Meishan kicked Liu Changchun again: "I advise you not to be so ostentatious everywhere. You said it's okay, the Su family's eldest lady recognized you, and even the old master nodded. It turns out that you lied to me!"
After cursing like this, Yang Meishan saw Liu Dongshan on the side and kicked him in the same way.
Although Yang Meishan is a scholar, he also practices some Kung Fu from time to time. These kicks are very solid!
After the fight, Yang Meishan looked at Su Changan and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am stupid and foolish, but I was deceived by Liu Changchun's sweet words and believed him. But I am also guilty because I was greedy for promotion, so I was deceived. It was also because of my poor teaching that Yang Xian followed Liu Dongshan and offended Your Majesty and you, and bullied the people. I will accept any punishment, even if it means stripping Yang Xian of his honors and removing my official hat. I am willing to plead guilty, but please understand, Your Majesty."
Yang Meishan knelt down and turned towards Xia Fengxiang: "Your Majesty, please understand!"
Although Mu Xu was thinking about the poem that Manager Sun was currently holding, he kept secretly winking at Ma Shitui, asking him to memorize it quickly and read it to him.
But see what Yangmeishan did.
Mu Xu held back his laughter. It was not bad. Although he was not a very good official, he knew how to escape from danger in time. It was a pity that it was too late. It would have been better if he had used his brain since he came to Beijing.
Liu Changchun covered his face and looked at Yang Meishan who was lying there with his forehead on the ground. He then looked at Su Wenqing and Su Changan. Not only was his face pale, but he was also extremely anxious.
Because he knew that there was no way out of this matter, he was finished, and the Liu family was finished, but
It can’t be finished!
So when he looked at Su Changan, he immediately knelt down despite the pain and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for the sake of my eldest sister, please forgive me and the Liu family. We were also unaware of this. If we knew about this, we would never have done such a thing. Please..."
Su Changan interrupted, "My godfather and godmother fell into the water because of you. My mother still needs herbal medicine to take care of herself even on cold days. Why didn't you think of her as your eldest sister? When you harmed her and disliked her, she was a shameless disgrace to the Liu family. But when you cling to her and need her, she is your eldest sister."
Liu Changchun was stunned when he heard this, and swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and immediately shook his head: "Back then... I..."
Su Changan continued, "Although I am not the biological daughter of the Su family, the Su family treats me like a family member, and my mother misses me all the time. Now she is not in good health, so I am glad that you are ruining my reputation instead of continuing to ruin her reputation as before."
It must be very sad to be betrayed by your family repeatedly.
Su Changan looked at Liu Changchun and continued, "But you shouldn't mention her."
After saying that, Su Changan helped Su Wenqing turn around.
Seeing this scene, Xia Fengxiang seemed to be prepared and said directly: "Yang Shanchang, Li Jiulang, be strict."
Upon hearing this, the three of them bowed immediately.
Xia Fengxiang continued, "The queen is injured and should not stay any longer. You three will handle the matter here. Once the conviction is made, it will be directly handed over to the Ministry of Justice, and a notice will be issued to inform the people. Su Wenqing will be fined for half a year as a warning to others."
As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang stood up and walked towards Su Changan.
Yang Shanchang and others bowed and accepted the order.
Su Wenqing also bowed.
The extent of a case is never determined by the fact itself, but by the person who is interrogating it.
But right now, the Grand Tutor, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel are personally interrogating the case, and they don't need to pay attention to the Ministry of Justice directly. The case will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice after it is decided.
Even the Grand Tutor was punished.
You can imagine the emperor’s attitude towards this matter.
No matter how stupid Liu Changchun was, he knew that this was a serious matter. He completely collapsed and felt powerless.
This was even more so for Yang Meishan, whose face was pale and who wanted to cry but had no tears. He was completely finished.
Forty taels.
Just because of forty taels!
Su Changan didn't say anything. Su Wenqing had to be punished. After all, the method he used was not very good from the perspective of his wife, and he also had to give an explanation.
But it’s just half a year’s salary, which is actually nothing.
However, when Su Changan turned around to look at Xia Fengxiang, his expression froze and he turned to look at the crowd.
So he looked at Su Wenqing and said, "I will come over tonight or tomorrow. I also have a doctor who is no worse than Mr. Zhang. Let him take a look at your leg."
Su Wenqing looked at the gauze exposed on Su Changan's shoulder.
Su Changan saw it and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, don't tell mom."
As he was talking, Xia Fengxiang had already walked over, and Su Changan immediately said, "Hurry up, the old man is urging us."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, but he knew who the old man was, so he nodded.
When Su Wenqing heard this, she didn't dare to ask, because it was widely rumored that Li Yunxian was in the palace and was the former queen.
With such an old ancestor in the palace, how could Su Wenqing and the others not have heard of this? Moreover, the late emperor had vaguely mentioned it once or twice before.
"Your Majesty, I am your servant."
Yang Meishan saw Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan were about to leave and turned around in a hurry.
But as soon as he turned around, the Huanglong Guard stood in front of him.
The same was naturally true for Liu Changchun over there.
Seeing Huanglongwei with his hand on the hilt of the knife in front of them, the two men didn't dare to say anything.
All the officials bowed and saw him off respectfully.
The only people in the world who can make the imperial court of Great Xia shake with just a stomp of their feet are the Emperor and the Empress.
When the people saw these people's actions, they were surprised again. They had thought about this scene before, but it was the first time they saw it with their own eyes! It was probably the last time!
Naturally, no one in the surrounding people dared to say a word. They all made way for her, bent over and lowered their heads, some of them secretly glanced at the Queen, with the disbelief still in their eyes.
Farmer girl.
This doesn't look like it at all!
None of the ladies who are raised with fine clothes and luxurious food and silver can compare to her.
The best queen in our Great Xia is actually a girl from a peasant family!
But there were also people who pursed their lips and looked at the actions of Yang Shanchang and others who were seeing them off respectfully. They thought about how these people didn't dare to say anything just now, and also thought about the things Yang Meishan had done to protect himself. This excitement was something that could never be exaggerated in this life!
Especially with what happened today, it seemed that the Liu and Yang families were unlucky, but so many things had happened!
Some people turned their heads and looked at Manager Sun with envy, but now Manager Sun had been pulled to his side by Mu Xu and Xun Kuang.
People saw that Shopkeeper Sun was holding a piece of paper.
What a blessing!
With just this piece of paper hung in the store, who would dare to bully Manager Sun or cause trouble? Even if a high-ranking official came, they would have to bow respectfully to the piece of paper before eating.
There were also some people who had received favors from Su Changan, either as a medical officer or for other reasons in the past. They watched the carriage depart, and they remembered one thing.
Old Master Su Wenqing said that the queen had an illness that had never been cured, which meant that it was still there!
And His Majesty also said that the Queen was injured.
The old Taoist priest and others were used to such things and had nothing much to say.
That's it.
The old Taoist priest looked toward the carriage window and asked, "Did Li Yunxian come here just now?"
Su Changan lifted the curtain and looked at the old Taoist priest: "I looked at you for a while, now..."
At this point, Su Changan fell silent. At the same time, the old Taoist priest, Yan Yunxiao, Huode Zhenren and the others were all startled and looked straight ahead.
The fifth pair spoke directly: "Brother Duanmu."
Duanmu Wenya, with a sword hanging from one arm, appeared in front of the carriage. After taking a look at the carriage, he raised one hand to salute, then looked at the old Taoist priest and the others: "Li Yunxian asked me to tell you that since you are here, follow His Majesty and the Queen to the palace to see her."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he immediately looked at Duanmu Wenya and said, "Wenya, is it too late for me to leave now?"
Duanmu Wenya respected the old Taoist priest very much.
It can be said that there are few people in the world who do not respect this old master.
So he saluted with one hand, then looked at the old Taoist priest and shook his head.
The old Taoist priest's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned his head to look at Su Changan who was lifting the carriage curtain: "My Queen, it all depends on you."
Su Changan looked at the old Taoist priest and blinked: "Ah?"
