Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 56
"So you think they should be given a lighter sentence?"

Yuan Che pursed his lower lip and nodded after hesitating for a while. At this moment, there was no trace of innocence in his clear eyes.

Whether the law enforcement is strict is indeed a question worth thinking about. Sheng Shaoqing was just surprised that Yuan Che had begun to understand this matter at such a young age.

Could it be that the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, the son of the mouse can make a hole, and the power of the emperor's blood has awakened?

"Che'er, the queen mother is very pleased that you can think about this question, but the answer to this question, the queen mother cannot give you now."

Yuan Che tilted his head and asked in doubt, "Why?"

Sheng Shaoqing thought for a while, then asked Yuan Che back, "If the Queen Mother hadn't discovered Mrs. Li's conspiracy and they succeeded, what would be the consequences?"

"Then...then if they use troops against Nanjing without authorization, the outcome on the battlefield is uncertain, I...I can't say."

Sheng Shaoqing stroked Fu Yuanche's bun, and said gently, "This is only part of it. Once they control the military power, if they have the heart of disobedience, you and the queen mother may be decapitated tomorrow."

"Then... let's deal with it fairly!"

"But what the queen mother said was just a possibility, and these things didn't really happen, right?
"

Yuan Che nodded, and Sheng Shaoqing continued, "What the queen mother said by saying this is that it is good to have kind thoughts in your heart, but also think about whether you should be kind to others."

"The empress mother still has many doubts about Mrs. Li, but the empress assures you that she will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, but she will not let a guilty person go."

Yuan Che nodded emphatically, the queen mother really...really, what is the idiom that Taifu just taught.

right!
It's a woman who doesn't give way to a man!
If the old grandpas in Chaoshang knew about this, they would definitely quarrel in Chaoshang again.

"Then you tell the queen mother, what should you do now?"

"If you go back to the queen mother, Che'er will go back to the bedroom now! Rest well, and go to court with the queen mother tomorrow!"

Surrounded by the palace people, Yuan Che's small figure gradually drifted away until it disappeared, and Sheng Shaoqing reluctantly looked away.

【Host, your maternal brilliance is getting stronger and stronger now. 】

"That is, the son I picked up is still so sensible, of course I will be a good stepmother."

【I have located the things stolen in the palace, what are you going to do now? 】

"No hurry, no hurry", Sheng Shaoqing said slowly, "Don't you look like Wang Shanggong is useless?"

system:………………

The system still wanted to speak, but Aning came in and reported: Wang Shanggong asked to see him.

"Look, isn't it here?"

Wang Shanggong walked in quickly and knelt down with a plop, "My minister pays homage to the empress dowager, the empress dowager is always happy."

"Weichen followed the clues left by Mrs. Li before, and now I have basically figured out where the stolen goods are going."

Sheng Shaoqing raised her eyebrows proudly, look, she said something, Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there.

"only……"

"Yes……"

Wang Shanggong's face was gloomy, and he searched for stolen goods day and night, and he didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of food, so he finally found out the details.

It's just that the more she touched her, the more frightened she became. Later, she no longer dared to send someone to investigate, for fear of causing death.

Seeing Wang Shanggong who had lost weight, hesitating and refusing to speak out, Sheng Shaoqing retreated from the crowd and said slowly, "Say it now, there are only you and me here."

Wang Shanggong gritted his teeth. Anyway, if he stretched out his head and retracted his head, it was also a stab. He simply took a gamble and followed the queen mother. Maybe the queen mother would let her go because of her return.

"Empress Dowager, Mrs. Li's theft is not simple. This matter involves the government, and I dare not speak nonsense."

Oh, it turned out to be this.

"Do you want to say that Li's purpose is to control the government, this Ai family knows."

Wang Shanggong shook his head, "It's more than that. Empress Dowager, there are still many people involved behind the Li family."

Anyone else?
"After a few days of investigation, I have discovered that although Mrs. Li can move around the palace and steal things from the palace, she can transport these things out of the palace and find a safe place to store them, which is beyond Li's ability. within."

"and……"

Wang Shanggong looked up at the Empress Dowager's expression, and continued, "According to what I know, they... have complex and hidden identities, and most of them come from aristocratic families. They want to send these things to Nanjing to sell the stolen goods."

"They are well-organized, and the ministers have repeatedly spied on them, but nothing has been gained, so I have come to report to the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother to make a decision."

She was good at Shang Gong and Shang Gong, and now she actually started spying on intelligence, but it was too difficult for her.

Sheng Shaoqing frowned, what's going on?
"Who do you know now?"

"According to Wei Chen's investigation, the matter involves the Wang family of Chenliu, the Yang family of Cangzhou, and the Xu family of Binzhou."

The system timely displayed the backgrounds of these great families. They were all big families who had been famous since the previous dynasty, but what enmity or grudge did they have with the court, and they wanted to target the court?
[Is it possible that they are not targeting the court, but targeting you, the host? 】

Sheng Shaoqing:? ? ? ? ?

"What the hell did I do wrong?"

[The master is suspicious of the country, the minister is not attached, and the people don't believe it, so you did nothing wrong, you are wrong. 】

[What's more, Beiliang's rule has been suppressing Han officials, and the children of the aristocratic family have not had a bright future in recent years, so they are naturally unhappy. 】

So, that's their reason for stealing?Steal it all under her nose in the palace?

"But since they come from a family with a lot of wealth, why do they still want to steal?"

Wang Shanggong added, "However, the people involved in the incident are all offshoots. My minister is just worried. They are acting under the orders of their families, so it will be dangerous."

Sheng Shaoqing was awakened by Wang Shanggong's unintentional words, "Could it be that the descendants of the direct line are still unable to make their mark, and these side branches are even more difficult, and they are not valued by the family, and they have no money to do things, so they came up with such a method?"

The most dangerous place is often the safest place. This group of people really mastered this principle and applied it to the fullest.

[This matter has a wide impact, host, you should think twice before acting. 】

"You know, you know, you can't intensify ethnic conflicts."

"The Ai family knows."

Wang Shanggong saw that the queen mother had no other reaction after saying this sentence, and asked again, "Then, do you want me to send someone to recover those things?"

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, catching thieves and taking the stolen goods, and catching the adulterous doubles, if those people can't be caught, it doesn't make much sense to recover the things.

"Do you know when they plan to send it out? And who will escort it?"

"The first batch has already been sent to Nanjing, while the second batch is still in various places in the capital and has not been sent out. It seems that they sent them out of the capital in person in the past few days."

"At that time, I was curious why Mrs. Li asked me to take the porcelain from the treasury. Now I understand that among the treasures in the private treasury, only the white porcelain fired in my dynasty can be sold at a good price in Nanjing, and it can also be sold at a high price. Do not arouse suspicion."
