Chapter 393 The Emperor's Majesty Cannot Be Challenged
"Mother, everything above is true. My elder sister has been arrogant for a long time. I have always protected her, but she has never repented. Now, she has offended the public! She opened a clinic and named it Jishiditang. It is really a great irony!"
"Where is her heart to help the world? How many lives have been killed directly or indirectly because of her actions? Mother, please tell me, how should I deal with this matter?"
The Queen Mother's face turned cold and she was unable to utter a word in rebuttal.
"Your Majesty, think about how much your eldest sister has sacrificed for you and how she helped you ascend the throne." The Queen Mother was ready to play the family card.
The emperor took a deep breath, raised his head high and looked at the roof.
"My throne was not easy to come by. I know it was not easy to come by, so I want to sit on it more firmly. Mother, do you understand?"
The Queen Mother's heart sank.
"Yesterday, the imperial physician came to report that Cao Yun'er is pregnant."
This news was like a thunderclap, shocking the Queen Mother.
"I want to make her a concubine. When she gives birth to an imperial heir, she will naturally become a noble concubine." The emperor said again.
The Queen Mother understood.
Everything is in the emperor's plan.
It's only a matter of time before the Cao family comes.
What the emperor wanted was a court that was completely under his control.
Cao Yun'er was pregnant at that time, and after being beaten with a stick, she gave the empress dowager a candy.
If Cao Yuner gave birth to a prince, that would be the hope of the Queen Mother's family.
"Your Majesty, that is your elder sister, the one who loved you the most since childhood. Do you want to sentence her to death?" Tears glistened in the empress dowager's eyes.
She trusted her son too much and thought that the emperor was always on the same page with her.
They are different from other mothers and sons. They will never confront each other for power.
Therefore, she did not become the kind of queen dowager who abused her power and did not interfere in state affairs.
If she took the opportunity to seize power when the emperor ascended the throne, it is not certain who has the final say in the court now!
"Mother, I will not take my eldest sister's life." This was the only guarantee the emperor could make.
The Queen Mother burst into tears. She had no idea how the Emperor was going to deal with her.
"No matter what happens to my eldest sister, most of the reasons are her own fault," the emperor said again.
"No! Your Majesty, it's Ji Chuhe! Do you think it's a coincidence that the people dared to stand up and sue the emperor at this time? It's obviously arranged by someone! The mastermind behind this is Ji Chuhe! Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Huaiyang Palace will become powerful and threaten your throne? Others cannot be trusted, but the Cao family will definitely not betray your Majesty!"
"Mother, I have told you that I have something in my hand that will make King Huaiyang die, so there is no need to be afraid of anything related to King Huaiyang! I am the emperor who holds the power of life and death! And they are just ants! Life, death, wealth and honor are all determined by me!"
The Queen Mother moved her lips, but no sound came out.
"Mother, I still have memorials to review. Please return to the palace first."
The Queen Mother turned and left.
When she walked out of the imperial study, the sun was shining brightly outside, but she felt cold all over.
The imperial family is the most ruthless. At this moment, these words seemed to be deeply engraved in her heart.
It turns out that her own children were the same.
……
*** had not yet realized that danger was approaching, and ordered people to go to the Shizi Mansion to ask for the person.
So many guards were holding Ji Chuhe, and there was no one around her.
Liao Yunfei has been taken to the government prison, awaiting conviction.
*** didn't bother to care about Liao Yunfei's life or death.
She thought that she had said that Liao Yunfei was the concubine of the prince's mansion and asked Ji Chuhe to take the responsibility for Liao Yunfei, and the matter would be put on Ji Chuhe's head.
Anyway, she is a ***.
Apart from the Emperor, who dares to punish her?
Will the emperor punish her for such a small matter?
Before the person sent by the queen to fetch the person came back, her palace was surrounded by a team of inner court guards!
When the servant rushed to tell *** the news, *** was admiring her hands which had just been cared for with essential oil extracted from fresh flowers.
"Why are you panicking? At most, it's just house arrest. It's not the first time I've been confined." *** responded coldly.
The servant didn't dare to say anything more.
At this time, ***'s case was being publicly tried in the court.
The emperor has secretly investigated the cause and effect of this matter.
It's obvious that *** himself has no brains. Ji Chuhe didn't take the initiative to provoke ***.
After the incident, the powerful officials in the court, who were almost driven to desperation, thought they had seized the opportunity, and thus a situation of mass excitement and suing the *** occurred.
So, it wasn’t Ji Chuhe who defeated ***.
The Queen Mother gave Ji Chuhe too much face.
Rather, Ji Chuhe was in the right position and the situation made it so.
*** deserves this fate because of his own actions.
All the civil and military officials in the court were silent.
They also didn't expect that the emperor would bring this matter to the court. This is a real crime that must be punished!
They really made a mistake this time.
If the emperor has punished the ***, will he be lenient when dealing with them?
The emperor just wants everyone to know.
No one dared to challenge his prestige!
Lord Jin, a low-ranking official who was in charge of this case, also came to the court.
He muttered again the wish he had made.
If I could come to the imperial court once in this life, see how those high-ranking and powerful ministers attend court, and then see the emperor's face, this life would be worth it.
This is not coming!
But he wanted to escape.
The kind of escape where one can run eight miles in one breath with the tail between legs.
"My dear ministers, have you heard that the people have collectively sued the *** for its excessive use of power and disregard for human lives?" the emperor asked proactively.
No one in the court, whether civil or military, responded.
The emperor glanced at the ministers in the court, then stood up and walked down from the dragon throne.
"No one knows?" he asked again.
Still no one speaks.
"You don't know, right? It doesn't matter. Today, I will summon the official in charge of this case to the court. He will explain the details of this case to everyone. After he finishes, I ask everyone to make a decision together and see how this case should be judged."
"Jin Mingxue." The emperor suddenly called out.
"Your humble servant is here!" Lord Jin immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground with his knees bent.
"Tell them the details of this case."
"Yes!" Lord Lai opened his memorial and began to read it.
After the reading, there was still silence in the court.
The emperor had returned to the throne. "Now that you all know, tell us what you think about this matter."
"Your Majesty, I think that although *** was wrong, the people around her bear the greatest responsibility. They must have taken advantage of ***'s identity to bully others, and in the end, when something went wrong, it was all blamed on ***! I think that all those people should be arrested and sentenced to death to quell the anger of the people." The first to speak were those from the Cao family.
