The favorite concubine of the system is in power

Chapter 79 Persuasion
The Empress Dowager's guard of honor went in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Eunuch Li who was waiting outside hurried forward and said respectfully, "The Empress Dowager."

The queen mother asked: "Is the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Eunuch Li replied: "Go back to the queen mother, here you are, and now I am discussing with Qi Shaohou, the servant will go in and report now."

The queen mother raised her hand: "Forget it, the Ai family will wait here."

Eunuch Li agreed, and called several young eunuchs to bring a hand-warming charcoal basin to the Empress Dowager's feet.

The door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation opened.

Qi Shaohou staggered a little, his face was devastated, and he almost sprained his feet on the steps. When he raised his eyes and saw the empress dowager's guard of honor, a few ripples inevitably appeared in his originally dead heart.

He came to the Empress Dowager almost in five steps and three steps, bowed and saluted, his eyes were red: "The Empress Dowager."

The queen mother asked: "What did the emperor say?"

The blue veins on Qi Shaohou's forehead were throbbing, and there was an unconcealable grief on his generous face: "The emperor, the emperor said to deal with it according to the law."

The queen mother couldn't help but sneered twice: "It's good to follow the law!"

Qi Shaohou wiped away his tears: "Queen Dowager, I... I really can't be without a source."

"Don't worry," the queen mother said, "the Ai family will definitely persuade the emperor."

Eunuch Li: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here."

The expression on Emperor Jiawen's face changed slightly, and he sighed softly.

He didn't know why his mother came here this time, she came to be Qi Shaohou's lobbyist.

Emperor Jiawen also thought about it seriously, Qi Shaohou was a pro-imperial faction, and Qi Shaohou could be considered to be dedicated to his duties in the past year of his reign, but Xiao Wanwan was right in saying one sentence: he is the monarch of the people of the world.

If the law is not established, he will not be able to support Zhaoguo. When the first emperor came to the throne, he personally put on armor and went into battle to frighten the northern and southern barbarians. He signed a 50-year non-intrusion treaty, but those hungry wolves are always staring at Zhaoguo. A piece of delicious meat. In the late period of the first emperor's reign, due to natural disasters and vassal disturbances, internal conflicts were serious, and the situation in Zhaoguo had long since deteriorated. If he wanted to restore the prosperity of the times, he could not condone the abuse of power by officials.

"Emperor," the Empress Dowager didn't make any detours this time, and went straight to the point, "The Qi Shaohou matter, Ai's family thinks it's inappropriate to deal with it, and the emperor should think carefully about it."

The queen mother sat down and put her hands on the brass-colored hand stove: "Although the young prince of the Hou's mansion lost two lives by mistake, the key point is not that simple according to Ai's family. The prince of the Hou's mansion, If you want a woman, there is no need for such a method of captivity, those two must have selfish motives and voluntarily went to the Marquis Mansion."

Emperor Jiawen remained silent and opened a memorial.

"Emperor, after all, Qi Shaohou is a relative of the emperor, so just give him a little lesson, and the rest..."

"Queen Mother," Emperor Jiawen raised his eyes, "the country cannot be ruled out, can the royal relatives and relatives judge others' life and death arbitrarily?"

The queen mother changed her face: "The emperor..."

"My mother doesn't need to say much," Emperor Jiawen interrupted her, "I have already made a decision on this matter, and I will not change it. The weather is cold and there is not enough charcoal fire in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Mother's best is to go back to Jingning Palace to rest and recuperate her body."

"The emperor wants to drive Ai's family away? Do you think Ai's family is an eyesore?"

"Don't dare," Emperor Jiawen's face remained the same, "it's just that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the mother is walking around for the ministers of the court. The emperor is afraid that the cold wind will damage the mother's health."

This is to remind her that even if she is the empress dowager, she must not influence the emperor's decision, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Jiawen, her words were a bit melancholy: "The Ai family is not doing this for Qi Shaohou, the Ai family is only thinking of the emperor's son, and does not want the emperor's son..." The empress dowager paused, "Qi Shaohou was the emperor when he was the first emperor. Just be reused, he is wholeheartedly for you, the emperor, don't want to hurt the heart of a loyal minister and good general."
