Chapter 292: They Must Be Very Happy
Empress Lu gazed at her brows, “Where do you start with this?”
The Empress then reached into her bosom and placed the square of saltpeter-wrapped pad on the case in front of her.
Empress Lu picked it up, the smell of saltpeter came straight into her nose, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she raised her head at once: “Who did this?”
“My son also wants to know.” The Emperor’s brow was furrowed in a raw frown, “This person destroyed the underground palace in order to sway the people’s hearts, in other words, to go against our Song family’s court. Those who can do such things naturally do not want Da Liang to run towards peace and prosperity, he is not an ordinary person.”
Zhao Su made a bowl of heat relief soup and gave it to him, “But it’s been more than twenty years since the country was settled, the enemies of the previous dynasty should have long been extinct, right?”
“Of course it won’t be someone from the previous dynasty.” Empress Dowager Lu put down the saltpeter, “The former dynasty was so rotten, it would be strange if there was still someone to stand up for them. This person, it must be from later.”
“Is it a minister from the dynasty?”
Zhao Su asked this, and both Empress Dowager Lu and the Emperor fell silent.
The one who could do this couldn’t be a Jiang Yang Avenue, could it? It could only be an official serving in the dynasty ah. And it has to be a big official, or a powerful family, otherwise where would there be so much energy to wreak havoc?
“How is the mausoleum side of the current arrangements?” Empress Dowager Lu asked.
“I have just sent people to pass the three ministers to the palace, will send them to the mausoleum to investigate thoroughly. As for the mausoleum right now, responsible for supervising the construction of the general Wang Yin is leading the order to strictly guard.”
“Wang Yin?”
Zhao Su and Empress Dowager Lu almost spoke out at the same time.
The Emperor looked at them, “What happened to Wang Yin?”
Zhao Su looked at Empress Dowager Lu.
A quarter of an hour ago, she and Empress Dowager Lu were struggling with this matter, and this moment things involved Wang Yin?
Empress Dowager Lu said, “The general in charge of the imperial tomb should be more than just Wang Yin, and he has only been there for a short while, so you trust him so much?”
“Because this saltpeter, is he found, he is very conscientious, ability is not weak. The imperial mausoleum so large range, and by the heavy rain wash, this situation he can still find this key clue, I want to reuse him.”
The emperor’s words out, Zhao Su even breath held. She quickly glanced at Empress Dowager Lu, and sat up straight under her tense face. The emperor’s meaning is very clear, Wang Yin this time and have merit, has become his appreciation of people. Then Cheng family this matter is not more and more difficult to do? Lu dowager empress before also asked if it is her, she will do, this guy, the contradiction has become more and more acute, what can she do?
I don’t know while the Empress Dowager hasn’t opened her mouth, she’s gone now, let them discuss their own mother and son to discuss it first, okay?
“You are afraid to reuse him.” Before she could think about it, this sentence was poked out by Empress Dowager Lu. Zhao Su suddenly straightened his waist, only to hear the Empress Dowager Lu’s gaze coolly thrown at the emperor, and said down: “Even though this person has some ability, but he has lost his virtue, and does not deserve to be reused by the court.”
The emperor put down the cup that he drank a mouthful of: “I don’t know what the mother queen means by this?”
Empress Lu said, “Cheng Lang’s daughter, Cheng Zhuyun, was defiled by Wang Yin’s drunkenness. He hurt Cheng Zhuyun, also indirectly make Tang Cheng two family marriage fizzle out, even cause the two families to turn against each other.”
“The person who defiled Ms. Cheng family is Wang Yin?”
“You first look at this.” Empress Lu pushed the stack of evidence brought by Zhao Su in front of him.
The emperor took it in his hand and saw that half of his complexion was already gloomy. “Where did this come from?”
“From the investigation.” Empress Dowager Lu looked at Zhao Su, “You are not in the capital these days, sister Su fully investigated the case of the Tang Cheng family, and the result of the investigation is this. The Tang family took the blame for this, and got rid of a good marriage, while the Cheng family ruined a daughter, and also turned against their prospective in-laws. The most crucial person who caused all this is Wang Yin.”
The emperor’s gaze stopped at Zhao Su for a moment, then said, “But it doesn’t mean that he is the culprit.”
Zhao Su in his eyes under the eyes, inhale deeply said: “although can not say he is the culprit, but without him, will not be able to come to this point. If he can control himself, things will not develop so bad. Anyway, even if it’s not led by Wang Yin, he can’t absolve himself of the blame.”
She was unlucky to be right here, and became the centerpiece of their mother and son. And then do not want to comment she also can only hard head on.
Wang Yin is wrong, can’t because he has the merit not to ask the crime.
The temple was silent for a moment, the emperor leaned back, back against the back of the chair: “I will not be because of an unintentional mistake and cut off a capable minister, Cheng Miss things can find another solution, since things with the Tang family has nothing to do with the Tang family, that the misunderstanding between the two families can be lifted.”
“But can the ruined marriage be restored?” Empress Lu squinted at him, “Cheng Zhuyun’s chastity has been lost, are those big families under you willing to take over and marry her back as a young grandmother?”
“Her happiness doesn’t necessarily have to be given by her husband’s family’s lineage.”
“Then who do you think can give her happiness?”
The emperor was silent. A moment said: “Even if disposed of Wang Yin, her chastity can not come back, she also can not marry the big family. Dispose of wang yin, but also is our loss one more weight only. As long as Wang Yin is not intentionally, that leave him to, he at least can still serve the country, I am willing to give him a chance to make up for his sins.”
“Then the emperor is not afraid of cold Cheng family’s heart?” Empress Lu’s tone has brought some coldness, “the heart of the hand is meat, the back of the hand is also meat, Wang Yin is not the culprit, but also the direct hand of the disaster, if the emperor does not give the Cheng family a fair, Cheng family how to convince? Could it be that the Emperor will not use the Cheng family in the future?”
“I can make up for the Cheng family in other ways, I certainly feel sorry for the Cheng family’s young lady, but if she and the Cheng family have any requests I am also willing to try to fulfill them, but in the case of my son’s urgent need for people, my son would rather keep Wang Yin first!
“I know what the Empress Mother cares about, if the Cheng family does not receive justice, the Flower Moon Society will also lose troops, but the Empress Mother must know that for the Flower Moon Society to exist, there must also be a premise of dynastic stability. If my royal power is not stabilized, all new policies will be empty words!”
Just now also the atmosphere of the great hall of peace, this time suddenly became subtle.
The emperor looked grim, showing the inherent strength of an emperor. Empress Dowager Lu, who had long been a strong person, also did not show weakness, her straight back did not show a hint of giving in.
Zhao Su looked at them, sighed quietly, and spoke out to break the silence, “The murderer behind the saltpeter placed in the Imperial Tomb, and the originator of the Level Cheng Family’s lady’s drugging, would surely be so happy to see you all like this that he would burst out laughing.”
The grim-faced Empress Dowager Lu and the taut-faced Emperor suddenly paused, both looking towards her.
Zhao Su shrugged her shoulders, “Isn’t it? Isn’t that their purpose, the more they see you guys disputing and splitting up, the happier they are.”
