Mei Shangshu looked at Su Juan with a straight face and frowned, not knowing what she wanted to say.

The old emperor even wanted to cross his legs and watch the show.

Su Juan said loudly, "I was in He County, Xuzhou that day. I met the magistrate Dong of He County. This man was in the most critical situation in Xuzhou. He actually conspired with the gangsters to seek money and kill people. He treated many human lives as nothing." , he even accepted bribes when he was an official, and now he is in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

The courtiers nodded repeatedly, especially those from the Ministry of Punishment. They knew that this man had been escorted back from Xuzhou before.

Su Juan: "Back then, when I was in Hexian County, Magistrate Dong once said that he had a backer in Beijing to promote him, and he would be able to rise to the top in the coming year."

The courtiers were shocked, you look at me, I look at you, what kind of backer is there?
  Mei Shangshu's heart skipped a beat subconsciously. It couldn't be related to him, could it?

But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't know anyone named Dong. It couldn't be him.

The old emperor's eyes gradually turned cold.

The Su family members looked at Mei Shangshu and then at the old emperor who was in a high position, "Your Majesty, I only found out after returning to Beijing recently that Magistrate Dong turned out to be a distant relative of Mei Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"

Astonished!

Shangshu Mei actually has such a distant relative who is corrupt and perverts the law! ?
  This Meihe is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so there must be nothing wrong with it.
  Mei Shangshu immediately became anxious, "You are talking nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, I don't have any distant relatives named Dong, and I don't know the Magistrate Dong of He County at all!"

This is simply nonsense that Su Juan is talking about and slandering herself!
  Su Juan looked at Mei Shangshu who was so anxious that he almost yelled, and pretended to be surprised, "Mei Shangshu doesn't know that Magistrate Dong is the natal brother of your second aunt's mother-in-law, the husband of your brother's wife's sister!"

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent.

This distant relative is a little too far away.

Su Juan looked at him lazily, "No one has opened his mouth yet, you are the only one who can say it, bah bah bah all day long." 】

Mei He's face turned red and green, and he wanted to curse.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that I do not know any county magistrate named Dong. What Shi Lang Su said may be a coincidence."

"Oh, is that so? It seems to be a coincidence." Su Juan was not in a hurry to refute his words. After all, Magistrate Dong was indeed a coincidence, but in other matters, the evidence was conclusive.

I originally thought that the post of Minister of the Ministry of War was still vacant and that the affairs of the Sixth Ministry should not be rushed. However, Mei He rushed up to hit his gun, so he couldn't blame himself.

The court meeting dispersed that day, and the emperor privately summoned Ping Guogong and Zhongshu Ling.

The old emperor concealed the matter from Ping Guogong and did not pursue the matter. He had recently relaxed the relationship with the queen because of discussing the matter of the Su family, and was afraid that the queen would be displeased by this matter.

"I came to see you two today. I want Zongzheng Temple to add Su's wife to the royal family tree. After spring, I will issue an order to make her the crown princess. What do you two think?"

He has been considering this matter for the past few days and has also called in people from the Ministry of Rites to discuss it. Wu Shangshu also believes that since the jade certificate of Princess Le'an is still there, it is natural for her children to be included in the royal family tree.

At Zongzheng Temple, a lot of regulations are needed to get things done.

Therefore, he found two people to discuss.

Zhongshu Ling was slightly startled. He could understand His Majesty's eagerness to recognize his granddaughter, but this was too much.

Duke Ping was silent for a long time, "Your Majesty, I think your Majesty should summon Su's family first and explain everything to her. As for the other titles, it won't be too late to discuss the appointment of the crown princess."

Nowadays, the matter of Princess Le'an has been vaguely spread in the court. No one knows the details. If they suddenly say that they want to enthrone the crown princess, the courtiers will definitely stop it. This is really not good for the Su family.

Zhongshu Ling agreed that this matter should be done step by step, and the ancestors should be recognized and returned to the family tree, and the family tree should not be rushed.

After hearing what they said, the old emperor felt that it made sense.

Duke Ping said solemnly, "Your Majesty, why not summon the Su family first?"

As far as he knew, from the time the emperor learned about Su Juan's life experience until now, he had never summoned Su Juan in private. Could it be that the majestic emperor was afraid of something?
  The old emperor coughed twice and said, "You two will discuss it and I will summon Zongzheng Temple tomorrow." "Yes."

The two looked at each other and stepped back.

As soon as they left, the old emperor still had no one to invite Su's family members. At such an age, he really didn't know how to recognize his granddaughter when he suddenly appeared.

He has also been worrying about this matter for the past two days, thinking that he should do the obvious things first.

By then everyone in the world will know it, and you and I will also know it, and there will be no need to worry about recognizing each other.

At this time, Su Juan was at the queen's place. As soon as she came to court, she was called over by the queen's people.

The two grandmothers punctured the window paper for the first time, and the queen's eyes turned red, "I heard that Xuzhou is dangerous, with many mobs and bandits. Did you get hurt anywhere?"

Su Juan smiled and shook her head, "Go back to your Majesty, if you don't have any, Xie Xun will also go with you. He is very skilled."

"Xun'er has practiced martial arts with many martial arts masters since he was a child, and his skills are indeed good."

The Queen took Su Juan and sat down beside her, "You, on the other hand, why are you still calling me Empress? Now that you know your life experience, I have been looking forward to you calling me Imperial Grandmother."

Su Juan was slightly startled, "Royal Grandmother."

When she shouted, the queen choked with tears, and the nun beside her hurriedly handed over the veil.

Su Juan had never had any relatives before and was alone. Now she has an uncle and a grandmother. When she calls her grandmother, she doesn't actually call her that smoothly, and she is always a little embarrassed.

But seeing the queen like this, she felt inexplicably sad.

The queen smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Your imperial grandfather came to my place last night. He said that he had discussed it with the Ministry of Rites and summoned Zongzheng Temple on a certain day to ask you to recognize your ancestor and return to the clan. He also discussed your title with me."

"Grandma Huang thought about it all night, and she thinks longevity and longevity are good. Your grandfather thinks Jinyang is good. What do you think?"

The Su family was slightly startled. Of these two titles, one was the queen's idea to wish her happiness, longevity, and health, and the other was the emperor's idea. The word "Jin" showed his nobility and his importance.

She smiled and said, "My granddaughter thinks everything is fine. I just listen to my grandmother and grandfather."

The queen also smiled, "You are just as good as a bowl of water."

"Forget it, now that you have made great achievements in the court, it is always right to listen to your imperial grandfather."

It's better to let those in the court watch, and those who have different intentions should always weigh it themselves.

Su Juan's eyes curled up, "I listen to the emperor's grandmother."

The queen smiled and touched her face, "I have lost a lot of weight. There was still some flesh on my face before I went to Xuzhou."

Su Juan smiled, "You will look better if you are thinner."

The nanny on the side said with a smile, "Your Highness was originally good-looking, but now that she has lost weight, the Queen feels distressed when she sees her."

"Your Majesty, I want to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some nourishing soup for Your Highness."

The queen nodded, "You'd better think carefully and go ahead."

After the mammy left, the queen patted the back of Su Juan's hand and said, "I will stay in the palace tonight. I had people clean up the side hall earlier. Please talk to your imperial grandfather during dinner and don't be angry." separated."

Since you are in the court, you cannot lack protection.

Su Juan naturally understood what the queen meant, and felt warm in her heart, "My granddaughter understands."
