Chapter 508 Revisiting matters after the abolition
There was a lot of controversy in the court because of the abolition of the empress, and there were stacks of memorials requesting His Majesty to withdraw his will on His Majesty's imperial case.

"Master Prime Minister, please persuade Your Majesty, His Majesty's move is too hasty." The old minister couldn't help but say.

Qi Zhiyuan is tall and tall, wearing a purple official uniform, his face is like a crown jade, and he is wearing a golden jade belt around his waist. The precipitation of the years makes him exude the charm of a mature man, and at the age of [-], he also makes the surrounding officials feel ashamed.

"His Majesty has made up his mind."

"But Prime Minister, the Empress has never done anything wrong during her several years, she just slandered Fan Zhaorong on the spur of the moment, and the assassin who assassinated Fan Zhaorong was not sent by the Empress. The punishment for deposing the Empress is too much."

"Besides, Lord Taifu was once His Majesty's teacher, this..." The old minister's unfinished meaning was already very obvious.

Qi Zhiyuan glanced at the corners of his eyes, still looking refined, "What does your lord think? His majesty has to get angry to stop the fire. Otherwise, even if we old bones force your majesty to take back his order, it will be powerless for the empress."

The group of ministers suddenly hesitated, it sounds like this is the reason.

If His Majesty is not allowed to vent his dissatisfaction with the Empress, and when His Majesty sees the Empress in the future, he will think of being forced to withdraw his order by the officials, then their actions will be in vain.

So the group of ministers discussed for a long time but failed to come up with a regulation, and finally looked at Qi Zhiyuan.

"I don't know if the prime minister has any advice?"

"There are no high opinions, but there are humble opinions."

The ministers put on an attitude of listening attentively.

"If His Majesty punishes the Empress with three years' salary, confines her for half a year, and demotes the other participating ladies by one rank, what do you think?"

"This……"

It seems a bit too much to downgrade each one, but compared with sending them directly out of the palace to the temple to recuperate, it is clear at a glance which is better.

As for the empress, the salary is second. Although the six-month confinement has been a little longer, it is a great grace compared to the abolition of the empress.

Patriarch Zheng and Tai Tuo looked at each other and nodded secretly, "Then I will leave it to the Prime Minister."

When they came to visit the Prime Minister before, they just wanted to ask the Prime Minister to help clarify.

Who doesn't know that His Majesty respects the Prime Minister, and the Liufang Study, which is popular among scholars, belongs to the Prime Minister. His Majesty can let the Prime Minister have such a great influence among scholars, if he can persuade the Prime Minister.

But when they came to visit the prime minister, they were told that the prime minister was not in the mansion.

One day is a coincidence, but two days in a row is not a coincidence.

It was unexpected that the Prime Minister would let go of his mouth today, anyway, it was a good thing for them, the Tai Tuo smiled gratefully at Qi Zhiyuan.

At the beginning of the morning court, the courtiers tried to remonstrate again, His Majesty was sullen and displeased, as if he could take this group of noisy courtiers out to beat the board at any time.

"Your Majesty." Qi Zhiyuan stepped out calmly, his dark purple official robe made him more convincing.

"Your Majesty thinks that the abolition will cause serious trouble, and His Majesty must consider it carefully."

"Oh? The prime minister also thinks I'm wrong?" Gu Jinghuai said lazily, touching the jade finger on the thumb, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his black eyes made it hard to look directly at.

Qi Zhiyuan bowed his head, "I don't dare, it's just that the queen's crimes are not so far, but I can't condone it, if I punish her for three years, confine her to the Qingning Palace for half a year, and demote the rest, what does your Majesty think?"

On the dragon chair on the high platform, the young emperor was silent, his crow-green hair hanging down from his handsome face.

The ministers below also held their breath, could it be that even the prime minister can't do it?
Fan stood silently, unexpectedly did not stand up to refute them, but made Patriarch Zheng look at it several times.
