Chapter 237
The officials were talking like a bummer, which annoyed the emperor.

You must know that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty pursued the rule of filial piety, so he could not be unfilial to the queen mother.

What's more, the emperor is a sideline heir to the great line, and the empress dowager is not his own mother and child. If he is not his own mother and child, it is very easy to create a gap.

Under such circumstances, the emperor should use his filial piety experience points on the empress dowager as much as possible, and tell the world that he, Jin Mingxuan, is qualified as the emperor, and no one can question the legitimacy of his succession.

Therefore, the matter of Concubine Hui calling the Queen Mother an old woman is not only a family matter, but also a state matter. If it is not handled properly, it will be a major event that will shake his position as emperor.

But after this incident was exposed, the best mother-in-law, the imperial concubine, ran up to him and cried, saying that she had a hard life and came from a small family, so she couldn't be the concubine of the old King Qing. But it is still impossible for the mother to become the empress dowager based on her son, and get rid of the embarrassing status of a concubine. It is fine to be a concubine for the rest of her life. Why does Concubine Hui have to repeat her mistakes?
Afterwards, the imperial concubine said that Concubine Hui was the emperor's cousin, her blood was thicker than water, and her bones and tendons were broken. The empress dowager was just a stepmother in name and had no blood relationship. Punish his own cousin.

The emperor originally wanted to punish Concubine Hui severely and give an explanation to all civil and military officials, but the empress dowager crying made him at a loss what to do, neither punished nor not punished.

For this matter, the emperor stayed in the imperial study and didn't come out after being bored for a whole day.

The next day, the emperor went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, and he was about to intercede for Concubine Hui.

But she didn't want to, the queen mother saw through his intentions at a glance, and before the emperor mentioned the matter of Concubine Hui, she got angry about Linglong being framed for adultery.

The queen mother said sharply: "Emperor, fornication is a serious crime. This matter is not only related to the reputation of the noble concubine Li, but also the reputation of the Yu family. As a woman of the Yu family, Ai's family also feels humiliated. How can you do it casually?" Just let it go?"

The emperor said gently: "Quiet mother, please calm down. This matter has indeed wronged Concubine Li, but I have already severely punished the master and servant Jiagui who led the matter. For the sake of the peace of the harem, Concubine Li will not pursue this matter any more. Why should the queen be arrested?" Do you want to let it go or not?"

The Empress Dowager said sternly: "Concubine Li is willing to turn big things into small things, that's her virtue, but this matter is also related to the reputation of the Ai family, and the Ai family must not let it go, the emperor said that he has severely punished the master and servant of Jiagui, and the concubine's private affairs Communication is a serious crime, and framing a concubine for adultery is even more serious, but the emperor just demoted Jiagui and dismissed Lily. "

The emperor hurriedly said: "My son dare not. The queen mother's status is precious, and she sets an example for the world. Naturally, it is the most important thing in my son's heart. It's just that Mrs. Jia's master and servant came from Korea to make a marriage. , I really can't punish severely, not to mention Mrs. Jia is still pregnant, no matter what, I have to think about the emperor's heir."

The queen mother snorted: "Of course the Ai family knows that the emperor's heir is the most important thing, but as the emperor said, Jiagui is just a tribute girl sent by Goryeo for marriage. With this ability, Concubine Li is being labeled as an adulterer?"

The emperor couldn't help frowning: "Mother, what do you mean..."
