Chapter 374 The Unfavored Child
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated the scene inside and outside, and the Prime Minister, as the father of the Queen, would not do anything rash!" Huang Lide stepped forward and said.
"So, I did something rash?" The emperor said coldly.
He didn't say much, and he was still the cold and ruthless tyrant in the legend. His aura was strong, and the deep pressure made the Prime Minister and his wife and Huang Lide unable to stand, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
"Your Majesty, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Prime Minister, the gift was only a threat to the safety of the civil and military officials of the court. Take him away and interrogate him strictly. Huang Lide, you are guilty of dereliction of duty and negligence. Do you admit it?" The emperor said coldly. "Your Majesty
... Your Majesty is innocent!" Huang Lide shouted.
Outside, Ci Xin finally came slowly. He walked in with his arms folded, looked at the scene, frowned and said, "I thought, I was sleeping well, but suddenly there was a muffled sound, which scared me. It turned out that the prime minister and General Huang wanted to rebel!"
"National Master, don't talk nonsense. This old minister has no such thoughts, never had them, and will never have them in the future. My Great Wei is under the management of His Majesty the Emperor. Now it is a prosperous trend. This old minister will definitely not ruin his future!" The prime minister was actually telling the truth at this time.
But who can believe him?
In the banquet hall, the ministers were also very scared. If it was really a powerful fire bomb just now, I am afraid that the entire banquet hall would be destroyed.
Then, all of them would be buried under the ruins.
Especially, Huang Lide has a very good relationship with the prime minister's family, and Huang Lide is in charge of the private brothel.
Thinking of this, everyone has complaints about the prime minister.
"Jing'en, it's your turn!" Baby Ruoxi looked at Master Jing'en.
Master Jing'en was originally sitting quietly on the side. This time, feeling the call of his little master, he immediately pointed a light invisible to the naked eye directly at the backs of the adults in front of him.
These ministers had a good relationship with the prime minister before. This time, as important officials of the court, they sat in the front seats. When the pile of things exploded just now, the debris flew directly onto their desks, and some flew onto them, hitting them and hurting them.
They were annoyed, and under the blessing of the truth spell, they were all furious.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you are really shameless. You committed a crime openly at the banquet. Fortunately, you used a dumb bullet, which was not powerful enough. If it was a stronger one, would we all be killed?" "
Your Excellency Prime Minister, some of what you said is right. In the past few years, the court has been in turmoil. His Majesty the Emperor and other officials have been working hard to stabilize the court and make the lives of the people better. And you, as the Prime Minister, do not care about His Majesty or the people every day, but are always thinking about troubles and always think of yourself as the father-in-law of the country. Do you have any shame?" "
Your Majesty, we earnestly request Your Majesty to severely punish the Prime Minister. We are afraid of such matters!"
Many ministers who had stood with the Prime Minister before were now filled with resentment.
Some of them, even those who were on the prime minister's side before, were also scared this time. The prime minister suddenly made a move and they were completely unprepared. If the prime minister was caught in public and the evidence of rioting was spread out, he would definitely not be able to defend himself.
Therefore, these ministers immediately thought about distancing themselves from the prime minister.
As a result, all the prime minister's party stood up and expressed their attitude.
All the court officials stood up and knelt beside their desks, shouting in unison: "Your
Majesty, calm down, Queen Mother, calm down!" "Calm down!" The Queen Mother said: "My health is really not as good as the Queen said. I don't know why the Prime Minister is so troubled. Maybe he thinks that I am old and the Queen should be the one in charge of the harem, so he wants to give me a warning?"
"Queen Mother, I absolutely don't have that idea!" said the Prime Minister.
"Queen Mother, Lin Rou is cowardly by nature and has no brains. She is not suitable to be the master of the harem. Because of you, the harem is stable. The Queen is not suitable to be in charge of the harem. I surrender and ask to be deprived of the Queen's position!"
Xiao Yue looked at the scene in front of her and sighed softly.
"Madam Prime Minister, I remember that when she was young, the emperor's sister-in-law Lin Rou was smart and kind-hearted. How come she has become like this now?" Xiao Yue said.
"Replying to the eldest princess, this... this Lin Rou, she is still not very sensible!" The Prime Minister's wife shook her head and said, "You have always regarded her as your best friend, your best sister, and your good friend, but she slandered you behind your back. Six years ago, she..."
"Enough!" Lin Rou suddenly turned around, stared at her mother fiercely, and scolded, "What time is it now? Do you have to talk nonsense in order to get forgiveness from His Majesty and the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, Prime Minister's wife, the Emperor's sister-in-law and I have always been good friends. I know that you have never liked the Emperor's sister-in-law. When the Emperor's sister-in-law was still a maid, you once wanted to sell her to that official as a concubine, just to get fifty taels of silver." Xiao Yue exposed the Prime Minister's wife's viciousness, and indirectly let everyone know that in fact, the Lin family married their daughter to Xiao Yin because Xiao Yin was not favored, but he was still a prince. Who knew that, by some strange coincidence, Xiao Yin would become the emperor.
"Don't say it, Your Highness, please, don't say it." Lin Rou knelt on the ground and cried.
"Come on, take all these people away!" Ci Xin turned around and gave an order.
"Well, the child is innocent after all, the full moon banquet will continue!" The emperor said coldly, and looked at the empress: "Get up!"
Some people secretly hurt him and his mother like this, he must let her know the consequences.
"Yes!" Lin Rou actually didn't want to get up. In this situation, she knew that she had lost all her face, and the emperor would definitely use some means to deal with her.
This emperor has always been very cruel.
If you don't provoke him, he is a very good person, but once you provoke him, I'm afraid even his corpse will be ground into powder.
"Emperor, the prime minister's family has so many things that they can give away an unfavored daughter casually. I guess his family is very rich. It just so happens that summer is here and the flood in the south is very severe. Why not search the prime minister's house!" Ci Xin said.
"You can do it!" said the emperor.
"Hey!" Ci Xin nodded.
"The banquet continues!" The emperor looked at the Imperial Household Department's ceremonial officer and said.
"Yes!" The ceremonial officer was a little confused. He didn't understand the situation, so he had to follow the normal order and turned around and shouted, "Ministers, give gifts!"
