first class maid

Chapter 353
Tang Chongli looked at Yu Wenhong gratefully. He attended the ceremony of the new empress today with mixed feelings. The scene of his daughter walking here many years ago is still deeply imprinted in his mind. Looking at other people's scenery, tasting their own bitter wine, the power of the Tang family, which has lost the trust of the emperor, has declined greatly. It is rare that the prince still cares about the old relationship and speaks a fair word for his daughter.

Yu Wentai was extremely satisfied with everyone's reaction, so he said tolerantly, "Get up."

Everyone stood up, Queen Liu bit her lip and wanted to stand up too.

"Did I let you stand?" Yu Wentai glanced at Empress Liu, and said this sentence in a dark voice.

The blood in Empress Liu's whole body boiled, and then it was as cold as an ice cave, and her knees had to kneel down again, "I will wait for the emperor's orders."

When Yu Wentai heard her self-knowledge and confession, the expression on her face softened a little, "The root cause of the chaos in the harem is that the empress did not think carefully about things. If she didn't make a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, it would chill people's hearts. lift."

Hearing the word "unmoral", the blood on Empress Liu's face faded. Her hard work was only exchanged for the word "unmoral". Zhai Yixia's hand was tightly clenched. This day turned out to be the most humiliating day for her, and she will remember it all her life. of.

Yu Wentai glanced at Queen Liu's drooping head, the tight back showed that he was unwilling, the displeasure in his heart gradually expanded, and he said with a calm face: "The queen's treasure book has been released, and I have no intention of taking it back, so Liu's family is in the middle." The palace will not change." As soon as these words came out, the Liu family father and daughter were secretly relieved, and finally they did not lose face at home, but the next words made them tense, "The Phoenix seal will not be handed over to the queen for now, and the queen will have to be punished." One year's salary."

Without the phoenix seal, what kind of queen is she?Empress Liu's eyes were wide open. She had the name of empress, but she had no real power to complement it. The post-sealing ceremony was considered to be over. Originally, she had to take over the phoenix seal from the emperor on this day to complete the ceremony.

Liu Jin'an also cursed Yu Wentai in his heart, especially when he saw his daughter's disappointed and empty expression, he stepped forward and clasped his fists again and said, "Your Majesty, what about this group of court ladies and eunuchs who don't listen to the queen's order? Could it be that there is no punishment at all?"

Gao Yushi came out and said: "Your Majesty, this group of court ladies and eunuchs did make mistakes and did not obey the queen's order, but it is understandable for them to appeal for themselves. I think their feelings are sympathetic, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Fall."

Although Liu Xiang's power was overwhelming, there were many officials who were moved by Xun Zhen's words. Out of sympathy, many people stood up and asked the emperor for leniency.

Yu Wenhong took a look at the group of officials, except for a very few who belonged to him, most of them were not from his lineage. Unexpectedly, they all stood up and begged for mercy. His little woman really should not be underestimated. In Xun Zhen's body, he didn't want to move away.

Both Liu Xinmei and Gu Xinman noticed it, and their jealousy was overturned in their hearts, and they hated it secretly.

"Your Majesty, it is a fact that these court ladies and eunuchs do not obey the Queen's orders. The emperors of heaven and earth are relatives and teachers, and the empress is the emperor. If they disobey orders, they have committed a crime of disrespect. Even if they have a reason, they cannot be used as an excuse to escape punishment. Blame everyone, but the chief culprits of the trouble must be punished, otherwise the law will become a decoration?" Liu Jin'an said again, no matter what, he wanted to save some face for his daughter, so he couldn't take a step back.

The old court ladies listened to Liu Xiang's words, and their faces became uneasy, especially the high-ranking palace officials. The most fearful thing to implement this plan is to face this situation. This is why they hesitated at the beginning, and empress Liu was embarrassed and defeated. Although it is very satisfying, the key is how to get out of the body and keep the existing fruits?

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say." Xun Zhen glanced at the vicious Liu Xiang and knelt down again.

It’s Xun Zhen again, Yu Wentai wants to touch her forehead when he sees her, she has inherited all the stubborn personality of the Xun family, and she is extremely dissatisfied with her in her heart, but thinking of the Xun family who jointly established Huaguo with his Yuwen family ancestors has been passed down to this day Only this bloodline is left, and it is still a daughter, and what is more terrible is a palace maid. It seems that the bloodline of the Xun family will be cut off after her, and he will be more tolerant if he can. Thinking about it this way, his face is not angry, but calm and authentic. : "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, Liu Xiang accused the servants of not obeying Yi's order, but where did the Yi's order come from? The servants are only dissatisfied with the empress's intention to reward and punish unfair appointment of cronies, and they have not violated the empress's Yi's order. What Liu Xiang said is exaggerated. "Xun Zhen raised her head and said, her voice was not very loud, but everyone in the hall could hear it clearly, she had thought about it beforehand, even if she used this method to defeat Empress Liu, the harem who pays attention to etiquette and strict laws The system cannot be provoked by others, and a single law that does not blame the public cannot protect so many people.

"Xun Zhen, don't make false statements. Everyone has seen the imperial decree promulgated by the queen. What do you mean I don't know where the imperial decree comes from? It's clearly a sophistry." Liu Jin'an pointed at Xun Zhen angrily, "Your Majesty, this court lady probably is The person who instigated her behind the scenes asked the emperor to beat her fifty times as a warning to everyone else."

"Father, in fact, this court lady is not wrong, there has never been any queen's order." Yu Wenhong said.

This sentence resounded in the main hall, everyone including Yu Wentai was slightly taken aback, and after a while he said that the personnel order was false and illegal.

"Prince, what do you mean?" Yu Wentai asked.

"Because the conferment ceremony of the empress has not yet been held, and the phoenix seal is still in the hands of the emperor. There is no Yi decree with the phoenix seal on it. Is it considered a decree?" Xun Zhen opened his eyes wide and looked ashamed to ask, but that The lively expression is very lovable.

Except for Yu Wenhong, everyone was stunned again, for example, can an imperial edict without the emperor's jade seal be called an imperial edict?In the same way, it can be proved that a Yizhi without a phoenix seal is not a Yizhi, so how can the court ladies and eunuchs be accused of committing the following crimes?
People from the old school didn't expect Xun Zhen to come up with such a reason, and their faces gradually showed joy, while people from the new school, such as Qin Shanggong and Mo Huayi, were stunned and stunned. How dare they just play house these days?
"Your Majesty..." Liu Jin'an's old face flushed red. He didn't expect that there was a loophole to exploit. He looked at his daughter with displeasure. He didn't even get the Phoenix Seal yet, so what's the rush?Slowly clean up the people left by the predecessors will die?
