When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 244
Yong'an Palace.

In the huge palace, the maids stood on both sides.There is a round table in the middle of the hall, and on the round table, Empress Dowager Lu and Lu Ying are sitting.

"Mother." Lin Heng saluted.

Now that he is the king of a country, he can no longer turn a blind eye to everything as before.

"Sit quietly." The Empress Dowager Lu smiled and led him to a seat.

It has been a long time since Queen Mother Lu sat face to face with Lin Heng.

She was wearing a brown jacket and a fox fur coat.Although she has reached middle age, her appearance is still beautiful.

"This is your uncle." Queen Mother Lu introduced.

Lin Heng had no expression on his face, he just glanced at Lu Ying and then looked away.

The expressions of the siblings were a little stagnant.

"Emperor." Empress Dowager Lu called him, "I heard that you have been thoroughly investigating the hiding places of officials in the court recently."

"Ah."

"This is a good thing. Confiscating the hidden land and renting it out to farmers will greatly strengthen Dajin's financial resources." Empress Dowager Lu affirmed at first, and then said, "However, this land does not have to be nationalized, right?"

Lin Heng looked at her inexplicably.

"No one is perfect. There are more or less ministers in the court. How many are innocent? You have just ascended the throne, so you should not conflict with the veterans." The Empress Dowager Lu's tone was soft, but she was firm in the ears of others.

There was a court lady at the side picking vegetables for Lin Heng, but halfway through, the vegetables fell on his clothes embroidered with dragons.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! This servant didn't do it on purpose!" The little maid immediately knelt down, she raised her eyes slightly, her beautiful deer eyes filled with water.She shook her hands and wanted to help him pick up the fallen vegetables on the dragon robe.

"Go down." Lin Heng stared at her coldly.

The little maid paused her fingers slightly.

"Your Majesty told you to go down, are you deaf?" Queen Mother Lu said in a bad tone.

"Yes." The little maid hurriedly turned and left.

After such a small episode, Empress Dowager Lu's smile deepened, "The Emperor..."

"I don't want to conflict with those veterans." Lin Heng interrupted her, "Before Liao Xian took people to measure, I gave them a chance. I asked them to fill in their own fields truthfully and make up for the price difference in the past few years. .I don't hope they can make up for it all, but at least, don't lie to me."

Speaking of this, Lin Heng glanced at Lu Ying.

His face was as frosty, and his pair of phoenix eyes were pitch black and bottomless, staring so hard that people's hairs trembled.

"I'm currently in the stage of political reform, and I have to put everything in the back row." Lin Heng stood up.

The meat that fell on him also rolled to the ground.

"No matter the reform or what, they are like the marks left by that piece of meat. Some things can never be changed." Queen Mother Lu stared straight at the stain.

"Then, I don't want this clothes anymore." Lin Heng replied happily, "Also, Master Lu doesn't need to plead. According to the investigation, you have often used the name of the Queen Mother to enclose land in recent years."

"Your Majesty, I followed suit when I saw my colleagues doing the same thing." Lu Ying couldn't sit still, he immediately stood up and stepped forward with a glass of wine, "It's all my uncle's inability to stick to his heart and circle a few pieces of land...Actually Your Majesty also saw it. They have more circles than ministers... You see, you should not miss me..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Ying noticed that her sister was kicking her constantly underneath.

Only then did he notice Lin Heng's expression.

Somber and indifferent, without a trace of emotion.

"Lord Lu, your land is no less than theirs." Lin Heng said, "As the emperor's uncle, you should keep your duty even more. The emperor's relatives should also be severely punished..."

"Ah?" Lu Ying's expression changed.

"The land is still in the same place, you... temporarily dismissed from your job, and think about it at the mansion." Lin Heng said.

"Heng'er." Empress Dowager Lu slapped the wooden table and stood up.

"Mother, rest." Lin Heng said lightly, "I heard that you planned to execute Princess Wen Xiao without authorization a while ago. Mother, you are getting old, so don't do such things again."

He didn't care that she wanted to execute Tao Yushan, but Cheng Muqing was involved.As a result, Cheng Muqing came here with a big belly, just to save people.He is unwilling.

"The empress told you?" Empress Dowager Lu sneered, "Don't the Ai family even have the right to execute a person? The empress can't kill anyone she doesn't want to kill?"

"Yes." Lin Heng said firmly, "The empress is the master of the harem."

Empress Dowager Lu's chest rose and fell, and her face was blue and white.

"After a while, the child will go to Jinzhou, and the queen will be sent to the Taoist temple in Chonghua Mountain." Lin Heng said, "The queen will chant scriptures and pray for the child there."

"Emperor, are you telling Aijia? Are you so afraid that Aijia will attack your queen?"

"Yes, my wife, I will never allow anyone to make her unhappy." Lin Heng cupped his hands, "Mother, I know that you asked me to come because of uncle. But I also tell you clearly that I will not help."

Empress Dowager Lu's face was gloomy, and she was speechless for a long time.

"Let's go first, baby." Lin Heng said goodbye.

After his figure disappeared, Lu Ying stood up and let out a "pooh" towards the door.

"Sister, why don't you talk about him at all?" Lu Ying pointed to the door, her face was full of anger, "Does he still regard you as his mother? Has anyone ever talked to his mother like this!"

"That's enough." Empress Dowager Lu slapped the wooden table, "I only have Cheng Shi...Cheng Shi..."

"Brother Sister thinks that the little maid you selected for His Majesty is a thousand times more beautiful than the Cheng family, yet His Majesty doesn't even like it." Lu Ying approached Queen Lu and whispered, "Tell me, did the Cheng family cast some kind of curse on Your Majesty?" ? If you don’t take advantage of His Majesty’s journey, we will make the Queen…”

"It's easy. When the empress gives birth, I will go to the mother and keep the son. At that time, just make up any excuses. After a while, choose a few good people, and the emperor will forget about it." The Empress Dowager Lu calmed down, She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

In the past, Lin Heng was just an ordinary prince, so she didn't want to care about Cheng Shi.But now that Lin Heng has become the emperor, he can't have a demon queen who can confuse people like Cheng.

"Sister is very resourceful." Lu Ying hurriedly poured tea for her, "Sister, to be honest, there is a girl in my brother's house who looks very juicy..."

"You also want to surround Your Majesty with people?" Empress Dowager Lu sneered, "Don't worry, the Ai family will control the court situation, and you will return to your former chic life."

"Thank you, sister!" Lu Ying hastily bowed.

"Oh..." Empress Dowager Lu sighed, "It would be great if Brother Yan was here."

Thinking of her son who died young, Empress Dowager Lu couldn't help but hide her face.

"Brother Yan is smart, maybe he's not dead yet." Lu Ying comforted.

"The Ai family sent a lot of people to look for it, but in the end, no one was alive or dead." Empress Dowager Lu's eyes filled with tears.

"Hmm... Sister, if the crown prince is found first? Then the throne..."

"Of course it belongs to Brother Yan." Empress Dowager Lu did not hesitate, "Brother Yan is very knowledgeable, how can Brother Heng compare to it? At that time, let Brother Heng be his idle prince."
