Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1096

The queen was a little emotional tonight. She was not as gentle as usual, her attitude was a little strong, and her words were a little sharp.

The emperor was speechless by what she said, but the queen still had no intention of stopping and continued: "Your Majesty, we must never be ungrateful at any time. It is not easy to get to where we are today. We should remember and thank them for their help. Instead of just thinking about killing the donkey after it's done."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Do you still need me to tell you this truth?"

Speaking of the latter part, the queen's voice was choked with sobs. She felt that people were so dissatisfied that this was not the behavior of a wise king. If this continues, the throne will not be stable and will go downhill.

"I understand..."

After a long while, the emperor finally spoke.

"No, Your Majesty, you don't understand! If you really understood, you wouldn't do such a thing!"

The queen collapsed emotionally and couldn't help crying. She knelt down directly to the emperor. The emperor stepped forward to help but she refused, saying: "I only hope that the emperor can take care of the overall situation and govern the world well, so that The people all live a good life, and they have nothing else to ask for. Tonight, I have overstepped my bounds. I asked the Emperor to fulfill my request to be abolished!"

"What are you doing!"

Seeing her decisive look, the emperor was very scared. It was the kind of fear that came from his heart. He felt that he had been abandoned and that even the person he loved most was leaving him.

"Get up quickly. I know this is really chilling, and I will give an explanation to the Lu family. Don't worry, I will be a good emperor in the future and will never let my selfish desires cloud my mind again."

He sighed. In fact, he regretted it as soon as Mr. Zhong opened his mouth tonight.

There was a shortage of talents in the court, and someone came to seek refuge. Seeing that he had some talent, he made him a minor official.

This man was a eloquent man, so he didn't take it to heart at first, but after listening to him talk every day, he gradually became a little moved. He was really worried that Lu Baichuan's reputation as an emperor would be higher than that of his emperor in the future.

Thinking about it now, it was not because someone had deceived his mind, but also because he had really become petty and deviated from his original intention, that he started to question Lu Baichuan.

Obviously at the beginning, he regarded Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian as his right-hand men. How could his right-hand man betray him?

It's really ridiculous to think about it now. He has been in the imperial study room tonight and hasn't come over here because he was thinking about this matter.

Now that the Queen said this, he finally realized what he had lost.

"If my concubine contradicts the emperor, the emperor can ground the concubine or depose him, and let him do whatever he wants."

The queen's attitude was very resolute, and she did not take any chances just because the emperor had a good attitude toward her.

The emperor knew that the queen was very angry this time, and his attitude was very serious. He said: "The queen is right. It is what the queen said that can make me sober and not have doubts about my loyal ministers. The queen is virtuous and virtuous. What she does is It’s for my own good, but I can’t even get happy, so how can I be willing to blame you?”

What he said was sincere, but the queen still had some doubts, so she asked: "Then what will the emperor do?" "I will drive Zhong Qi out of the capital, and then personally apologize to Bai Chuan and his wife, Xin'er What do you think?"

The queen originally thought the same thing. Seeing that the emperor was willing to do this, she stopped insisting. She slowly stood up holding the emperor's hand and said sincerely: "It is easier for the emperor to conquer the country than to defend it. You should not do it because of your own selfish desires." It chilled everyone’s hearts.”

Everyone in the Lu family was feeling a little depressed. Jiang Jiuniang went straight back to the room to wash up and get ready for bed. Lu Baichuan followed behind and came in. Seeing that Jiang Jiuniang was still angry, he took the initiative and said: "Daughter-in-law, after the Dongting peace talks are resolved, I will resign and go home, and then I will take you out on a sightseeing tour, and I will no longer care about the court affairs."

He originally wanted to mention it tonight, but he still took the overall situation into consideration and thought that the Dongting people were still watching and couldn't let them see the joke, so he endured it.

He has been with the emperor for so many years and has sacrificed a lot from scratch. Now that he has succeeded and retired, it is not a loss.

This is actually what he has always thought. Even if the emperor does not doubt him, he is self-aware. He reached the second rank at a young age and came back with a victory this time. He will definitely have to be promoted again. If this is the case If he continues to rise, not to mention the emperor, other relatives of the emperor will gradually become anxious, and there will be even more people who want to target the Lu family.

What's more, he has long felt that he never has time to spend with his wife. After the world is settled, he wants to take his wife out for a walk, so there is nothing wrong with resigning early.

I just didn't expect that such a ridiculous scene would happen at the banquet tonight. The emperor couldn't even wait for an opportunity to mention it later, and let people directly attack his wife at the banquet. It is really chilling.

Obviously everything was fine at the border before. From the letters exchanged, we can see that the emperor still trusts them. No matter what they do, they just let them make their own decisions. Only the army has returned to the DPRK and there has been no contact in the past two months. , I didn’t expect this to happen as soon as they met.

"Well, just resign if you want. If this matter really has something to do with the emperor, then such a court would be meaningless."

Jiang Jiuniang had a bad temper, and she really wanted to go directly to the palace to explain things to the emperor.

But when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt that it was boring. Just let her love her. Anyway, during this period of time, she also made money herself and did a lot of good things for the people. It was not all for the emperor. There was nothing to be dissatisfied with. .

As she said that, she fell directly on the bed and looked at the ceiling dullly. The fatigue of traveling and traveling made her body very tired, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. She was still injured after all.

After Lu Baichuan washed up, he came over and lay down next to her, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and comforted her: "Don't be sad, we were prepared early in the morning, weren't we?"

They have been prepared for this since the emperor ascended the throne. Although it will indeed make people feel chilling when things actually happen, it won't be too uncomfortable as long as they withdraw early.

"You're right. When you resign, we will go out to play. Let your parents and sisters-in-law go back to Jingzhou. Our family will live a good life in Jingzhou and never come to this capital again."

Thinking like this, she turned over, suddenly felt sleepy, and fell asleep quickly.

Lu Baichuan blew out the lamp, kissed her forehead in the darkness, and closed his eyes.

The next day, Jiang Jiuniang heard that the Queen had requested self-imposed confinement. After much thought, she decided to go into the palace to have a look. As a result, she received a greeting card from the Third Prince of Dongting just as she was about to go out. At this time, the Third Prince and Princess Sheng'an were already waiting outside the palace. Unable to leave for a while, he gave up the idea of ​​entering the palace and welcomed them in first.
