farmer's husband

Chapter 690 Women's Battle

Chai Dong, who helped her and helped her, didn't know who this she and that she were, and others might have been dizzy after hearing this.

But Li Xiaozi was not stupid, he understood what his father meant, and the corners of his lips fluttered immediately.

"Yes, my son understands!" He nodded quickly, and then left excitedly.

Half a month later, another big event happened in the capital—the imperial concubine’s elder brother, Kong Gongming, who is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, bought a Juren for 1000 taels of silver ten years ago to take the exam instead of him. When he came out, Chai Dong immediately wrote a letter of impeachment, asking the emperor to deprive Kong Shangshu of his fame and abolish his position as Shangshu.

In an instant, the government and the public were shaken, and the Kong family was also turned upside down.

It should be noted that Kong Gongming was pushed to the current position by the Kong family after a lot of effort, and he will soon hit the third position.As long as he becomes Sangong, his position will be stable, and so will the position of the Kong family.Correspondingly, King Qin's backing has also been stabilized!

Moreover, even if he is not Sangong now, just relying on his position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and many disciples under him, he can still recommend the imperial concubine to the position of queen!

As a result, now, Chai Dong suddenly found out about this matter, and there was such an uproar immediately after repaying it, the Kong family's face was about to be lost!
When the imperial concubine heard the news, she cried and knelt down in front of the emperor. "Your Majesty, although my brother did something wrong at the beginning, he has been doing things for the country conscientiously all these years. Whenever he has time, he studies diligently. Now he can write an article at will. You know this Emperor! Last New Year's Eve At night, he even composed a poem in public, didn't you praise him?"

The emperor frowned. "According to what you say, Kong Shangshu is really a candidate for the Jinshi position?"

The imperial concubine burst into tears immediately. "Brother already knew it was wrong! We also know it was wrong, and now we are all trying to correct and make up for it. Please also see that my brother has listened to the emperor's wishes wholeheartedly and worked hard for the well-being of the people over the years, Give him a chance!"

The emperor heaved a long sigh. "Aifei, get up!"

The imperial concubine was still kneeling and sobbing.

The emperor shook his head. "In this matter, Chai Qing has indeed gone too far. He knows that Kong Shangshu is the pillar of the court, and no one can replace him now, so how can he do such things indiscriminately? What he did was really disappointing to me.”

The implication of this is clearly that he did not plan to investigate Kong Shangshu's meaning in depth!

When the imperial concubine heard this, she cheered up and raised her head.

"Perhaps, Chai Yushi is in a hurry!" she said softly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows. "What are you in a hurry for?"

"Ah, the concubine said the wrong thing!" The imperial concubine hurriedly covered her lips.

The emperor's eyes darkened. "My concubine, if you have something on your mind, just tell me. You and I have been husband and wife for many years, are you still worried that I will randomly suspect you?"

The imperial concubine said in a low voice: "Then the concubine will dare to say it. But if there is something wrong with the concubine, the emperor, you must not be angry."

The emperor nodded readily. "That's natural. I'm sure I'm not angry."

The imperial concubine spoke slowly again. "Now, people outside are saying that Concubine Chai wants to take the position of concubine!"

The emperor's expression darkened immediately. "The noble concubine is not such a person."

The imperial concubine's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head again. "Yeah, my concubine thinks so too, but I can't stand the fact that people outside are saying that now. And they all say that the imperial concubine is Chai Yibo's descendant after all, and so is Chai Yushi. Even if they didn't have that plan in the first place , but now that we have reached this point, sometimes everything does not depend on personal wishes, but at that time we have to do that kind of thing. Chai Yushi, he and Chai Yibo are really similar!"

A shadow cast over the emperor's face.

"Their father and son are indeed very similar. Moreover, compared to Chai Yibo, Chai Qing is better than Chai Yibo, much better than Chai Yibo!" He said in a deep voice.

"However, Chai Yushi is also much smarter than Chai Yibo. At least he is dedicated to you, the emperor. He has never formed a party for personal gain these years. He only focuses on digging moths in the court, but he has solved a lot for you, the emperor. Trouble!" The imperial concubine immediately said again.

The emperor pursed his lips. "These things are nothing more than trifles to him."

The imperial concubine laughed.

"Although it's a trivial skill, since he is willing to keep doing this, it means that he is still happy in his heart, and he is wholeheartedly committed to serving you, Your Majesty. As for this time... he should know that there is some discord between King Qin and King Liang. He has a good relationship with King Liang, so he did this out of a desire to vent his anger for his nephew! But he understands very well, your majesty, you must not be willing to do anything to your brother, he just did this to scare us."

But the more she comforted the emperor gently, the more ugly the emperor's face became.

"I almost forgot that there has always been a close relationship between Chai Qing and King Liang!" His voice darkened.

The imperial concubine lowered her head again. "The concubine is just talking casually. Over the years, King Liang has been running a successful business in Liangzhou, and most of the money he earned has been sent to the treasury. This is enough to prove his loyalty to the emperor."

"He said he sent all the big heads, so did he really send them all?" the emperor said.

The imperial concubine's eyes flickered a few times.

Seeing that the emperor's mind had been shaken by what she said, she was about to say a few more words when she heard someone shouting outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good!"

The atmosphere that the imperial concubine had created with great difficulty was broken.

The emperor also turned his head away.

"What's the matter?" he asked impatiently.

"His Majesty, just now His Royal Highness King Yong was playing by the pond in the Imperial Garden, when he suddenly met His Highness King Qin, I don't know what the two of them said, then His Highness King Qin suddenly became angry and pushed His Highness King Yong into the water Go to the pond!"

"My little 23!"

When the emperor heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he ran out quickly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

When the imperial concubine saw this, her expression changed drastically.She quickly got up from the ground, and also picked up her skirt to chase after the emperor.

When the emperor arrived at the back garden, King Yong had already been picked up, but his body was dripping wet, even though he was wrapped in a thick quilt, he was still shaking non-stop.

Too.It's winter now, the weather is very cold, and the water in the pond is even more icy cold.King Yong was young and fell into the pond. How could his body bear it?
When he saw King Yong whose lips were black and purple from the cold, the emperor felt very distressed.

But King Yong was still trembling while shaking his head at the emperor. "Father, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Six. Just now, I accidentally fell into the water. Don't blame Brother Six!"

"How could it not be him? Everyone in the palace has seen it just now, and he is the one who pushed you down!" The emperor shouted angrily, and he turned to King Qin, "King Qin, do you know your mistake?"

King Qin lowered his head. "Yes, brother 23 was pushed into the water by his son. But, if it wasn't for him..."

"Enough! You admit that you pushed it down, and that's fine!" the emperor interrupted him.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, the imperial concubine also rushed over upon hearing the news.

Seeing her son frozen like this, she was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes.

But she still knelt down to the emperor. "Since Xiao 23 said it was a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding. You should not scold the King of Qin, let alone the sister of the imperial concubine. They are busy with family affairs now, so they must not have a good temper."

The implication was that he was clearly telling the emperor that the reason why King Qin would attack King Yong was because he was angry with Chai Dong, so he attacked King Yong!
He will bully the small with the big!
The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue.

"Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine also rushed over at this time. When she heard what Concubine Chai said, she was so anxious that she yelled before she came over, "Perhaps there is only a little friction between King Qin and King Yong? Since King Yong Not willing to blame him, it seems that this is not a big deal at all. But as an elder brother, King Qin is not willing to shirk his responsibility, which is what he should do. Wrong is wrong, and please punish him severely."

"Your majesty, no!" Concubine Chai immediately shouted again, "If you punish His Highness King Qin, how will you let Xiao 23 behave in the palace in the future? The concubine has been under the care of the imperial concubine's sister all these years, but now she treats her like this She, that concubine can't live anymore!"

As she spoke, tears fell.

She was obviously in her 40s, but she was so weak and beautiful when she cried. The emperor saw it, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"My concubine, get up quickly." He hastened to support Concubine Chai.

Concubine Chai did not move. "Your Majesty, if you don't agree to let His Highness King Qin go, the ministers and concubines will not get up."

"Let's go, let's not hold him accountable, can't we?" The emperor nodded.

Concubine Chai then got up. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, she smiled slightly at the imperial concubine: "Sister imperial concubine, His Highness Prince Qin is fine, now you can rest assured."

The imperial concubine heard this, but her eyes immediately darkened, and a cold light shot out from her eyes.

Concubine Chai also raised her chin and looked at each other generously.

The eyes of the two women met in mid-air, and sparks immediately burst out.

Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Chai, the battle between these two women has officially kicked off.
