Chapter 519 King's Heart (2)

She gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "If it wasn't for the sudden commotion in Piaoxiangyuan, which attracted the crowds of onlookers, Jiahe would have been beaten to death by him long ago. People like this who have no dignity or lowliness and boldness should be taken to heaven immediately. Prison, sentence him to be executed in autumn."

The emperor frowned: "Mother, I know you love Jiahe, but this matter seems strange, I have to investigate thoroughly before I can give you an explanation."

The imperial concubine was stunned: "Emperor, you... what's wrong with you? Don't you always love Jiahe? Why..."

The emperor said sternly: "A matter of government affairs affects the whole body. Wang Zhanpeng's official position is not low. I have to find out about this matter before I can make a decision. But please rest assured, if this matter is really that guy. Will not favor him."

Seeing the emperor like this, the imperial concubine felt helpless no matter how angry she was.

Chengqian Palace——

Seeing that the emperor suppressed this matter, Mother Rong asked very puzzled: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has always treated the An family favorably. Why did the Emperor not deal with such a big incident?"

Linglong lowered her head and fiddled with the emerald tassels hanging from the flower buttons on Peony's brocade and thin cotton gown: "It's not that the emperor doesn't want to deal with it, but it's not easy to deal with it."

Mother Rong said blankly: "It's not easy to deal with? The servants don't understand, so please ask your mother to give some advice."

Linglong said: "According to the time, the emperor has been on the throne for 11 years. During these 11 years, although the emperor ruled the world in the previous dynasty, he was still very afraid of the power of the queen mother."

"He was afraid that one day the Empress Dowager would dislike him and use Xiaozong's edict to abolish his throne. So for so many years, the emperor has been filial and obedient to the Empress Dowager, but in private he has always wanted to cultivate his own power so as not to The Empress Dowager's attitude towards him has changed, so I won't have nothing."

"However, as the empress of Xiaozong's first dynasty and the first emperor's period, the queen mother has gone through four dynasties and has been the mother of the world for more than 40 years. She has already accumulated huge contacts and prestige in the court. , the power has almost infiltrated the entire upper-class nobles, so it is very difficult for the emperor to cultivate a power that can compete with the queen mother."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Nanny Rong: "If you were the emperor, what would you do?"

Mother Rong thought for a while and said: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, the emperor's thoughts are the most difficult to guess, but if it is the emperor who is a servant, he will definitely find a way to avoid those officials who are born nobles, and choose to support those A humble official with no political foundation."

Linglong nodded: "That's right, that's what the emperor thinks. We all know that Wang Zhanpeng was born in a poor family. After ten years of studying hard in high school, coupled with the help and support of his wife's natal family, that's why he has climbed to his current position. For the emperor, this kind of humble official with no family background is the best object of support."

Mother Rong suddenly said: "So that's the case. No wonder Wang Zhanpeng knew that Li Shunjuan was related to Empress Minghui, but he dared to offend the Li family and make peace with Li Shunjuan because the emperor valued him. The reason behind it was so complicated. Said, I am afraid that the servants will not understand even if they think of being bald, did the empress see through this early in the morning?"

Linglong shook her head and said, "No, I didn't think of the conflict of interests behind it until I saw Ting Lan make a move."
