Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 85 Do you have an opinion?

Hearing what he said, Shen Ninghua was not very surprised. The Zhao family pushed the problem of the prescription to the Shen family, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.From Baili Qingcang's attitude, it can be seen that the emperor has been angry with the Zhao family. It would be strange if the crown prince remained indifferent at this time.

Shen Ninghua nodded: "I see."

Chu Junyi looked at her with a smile: "The second prince is not easy to get along with, you should pay more attention to yourself."

"Well, it's the same with you. The Xiao family has done nothing this time, but beware of others' jealousy."

"Thank you Ninghua for your concern."

Shen Ninghua glanced at his smiling face, and frowned slightly uncomfortable: "Your original appearance is more pleasing to the eye."

Chu Junyi touched his cheek, and his smile deepened: "Does that mean that I am much better than the second prince, at least I can still please you with my appearance."

Seeing that he was starting to be unruly, Shen Ninghua ignored her, turned around and walked towards the West Palace.Not far away, I really saw two maids with low eyebrows waiting in place, and when she saw her coming, she immediately knelt down and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness, the King of Dejun asked the slaves and servants to wait here for the princess. lead the way."

"No, I can go back by myself." Leading her way, I'm afraid it's to see if she's drunk. I thought that Baili Jinchuan's straightforward personality should be the easiest to get along with, but I didn't expect this straight-tempered person to become stubborn. It's even more terrifying.

When Baili Jinchuan and others came back from the disaster relief, the common people were happy, but the princes and officials who stood in other teams were worried.On the day when meritorious deeds are rewarded and deeds punished, the situation is immediately reversed.

Outside the palace, the common people were worried that the second prince, Shen Ninghua and others would be punished, while many officials were happy to see the result.

Shen Dong, Shen Linghan and others were imprisoned for more than a month and came out of the sky prison again, feeling like seeing the light of day again.

Zhao was even more frantic, because she was pregnant, she was imprisoned in a remote palace, and only one eunuch delivered some meals to her every day.But she couldn't eat at all, coupled with the reaction during pregnancy, it took her more than a month to lose her bones.Seeing Shen Linghan who was being escorted over by the guards at this time, she wished she could pounce on him immediately:
"Han'er?"

Shen Linghan raised her head and saw that Zhao's dead eyes were a little brighter: "Mother, my daughter is living a hard life."

Zhao's tears almost fell down: "Don't worry, Han'er, your sister will definitely save us."

Shen Linghan nodded, but a strange light flashed in her lowered eyes, and the smile on her lips was cold: Shen Ninghua, don't even think about getting out of here today.

As the silent whip resounded throughout the palace, the servants sang loudly: "The emperor is here."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Baili Qingcang sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the four rows of officials in the hall: "You should be clear about the main thing today, which is to reward Baili Jinchuan, Shen Ninghua, Xiao Jingran and others for their merits. What do you think? Take it all out and say it.”

The hall was quiet and silent, and the officials were unwilling to be the first to stand out.

After a while, Chen Yun took the lead to stand up: "Reporting to the emperor, according to my opinion, His Royal Highness the second prince's disaster relief measures are courageous, quelling the plague and disasters, and saving thousands of people. It is understandable that the merits outweigh the demerits and should be rewarded."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out to object: "My lord Chen's words are wrong. His Highness the Second Prince has followed the emperor's order to go to relieve the disaster. It is the right thing to complete the task. But he was eager for success, and he didn't report to the emperor. Under such circumstances, he privately killed 32 officials of all sizes in the south of the Yangtze River, including high-ranking and third-rank officials of the imperial court. This action is undoubtedly rebellious. It is really bold and reckless. Please the emperor severely punish it."

"Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Chen's point of view."

"The second prince is tantamount to treason and should be severely punished."

"emperor……"

The hall was like a boiling oil pan poured with a ladle of water.

Baili Qingcang sat steadily on the throne, without the slightest sign of impatience, until half an hour later, when all the officials were sweating profusely from arguing, he said: "Since you can't argue about the rules Come on, then bring all the people involved in this incident, and I will come here today to properly break the cause and effect."

Everyone quieted down unconsciously and gathered Realization at the door. The second prince, Xiao family, Shen family, Zhao family...everyone who was slightly involved was called to the main hall.

After everyone saluted, Baili Qingcang called them up: "You all know what's going on today, so let's talk about it together. I want to hear your thoughts."

Baili Jinchuan immediately knelt on the ground when he heard the words: "Father, my son is guilty, please punish Father."

"What's your fault?" Baili Qingcang looked serious, and his tone couldn't distinguish between happiness and anger.

Baili Jinchuan took out a booklet from his bosom, raised his hands and said, "Reporting to my father, my servant killed 32 Jiangnan officials on his own initiative without asking you for an order. The name and reason of the official killed by the minister, please read it."

The servant handed over the booklet, Baili Qingcang opened it and glanced at it, his expression sank suddenly: "Is what you said true?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the son's record is true. If you don't believe it, you can send officials to investigate."

Baili Qingcang clenched the book in his hand, and glanced at the officials in the hall: "Of course I will investigate. Before you investigate clearly, you should shut yourself behind the door and think about it."

"Yes, father." Baili Jinchuan was overjoyed. The booklet contained evidence of the corruption of officials in the south of the Yangtze River that he had sent to investigate. As long as the emperor is willing to investigate, he will be in danger. However, none of the officials who were killed at the beginning were innocent.

There was a flash of hostility in Baili Jinze's eyes, but his father just made Baili Jinchuan think about it?He didn't want to see the second brother escaped so easily, so he thought about looking at Zuo Yushi at the side, and gave a slight signal.

Zuo Yushi Xu Mian immediately stood up and said in tears:

"Your Majesty, it's unreasonable to do this. The second prince innocently killed the court officials and completely trampled on the laws of the Da'an Dynasty. This is not to make the people of the world laugh. As an official, how can I look at such a thing?" If it happened, please take the emperor's order back, otherwise the humble minister will be bumped to death in the Chengqian Palace, and the humble minister will desperately want to protect the emperor's reputation."

Baili Qingcang frowned, a flash of anger flashed in his heart, this Xu Mian actually forced him.

Under the leadership of Xu Mian, many officials who received hints knelt down and pleaded for orders, and Baili Qingcang took back his orders.

The officials who secretly supported the second prince were extremely anxious, but it was a pity that their number was small and they did not have an advantage at all.

Just when Baili Qingcang was burning with anger and was about to reprimand him, a crisp laughter suddenly sounded out.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Shen Ninghua who was laughing out loud.

Zuo Yushi yelled sharply: "Princess Ninghua is really too ignorant of etiquette, and she is so presumptuous in the hall!"

With a smile on her face, Shen Ninghua stepped forward to salute Baili Qingcang: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, Ninghua really couldn't hold back for a while."

The expression on Baili Qing Cang's face eased, knowing that she must have something to say in this action, he simply passed up the steps neatly: "Why is Ninghua laughing?"

Shen Ninghua looked up at Zuo Yushi Xu Mian: "Master Xu, I'm curious, what is your official position?"

Xu Mian was very disdainful towards her: "This official is from the third rank Zuo Yushi."

"Oh, it turns out that you are the censor from the third rank, but I am disrespectful." Shen Ninghua showed a look of sudden realization, "I thought you were the person with the highest official position in the hall."

Xu Mian panicked and his face changed: "What does the princess mean?"

"I don't mean anything. I just saw that Mr. Xu just called the king of Dejun and the second prince, and he kept threatening the emperor to take back his will, and even forced the emperor to dispose of his son at the cost of death. Everyone on board covered it up."

Xu Mian was frightened into a cold sweat, and quickly knelt down and said, "I want to report to the emperor, I was too excited just now, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Shen Ninghua looked at him coldly: "Master Xu, why should you be so alarmed? Although you blatantly refuted the emperor's will and disrespected the King of Dejun, you have good intentions after all. There are quite a lot of adults who are as kind as you in this hall? As she spoke, her eyes swept over the officials who had just echoed Xu Mian.

Many officials with unstable minds immediately avoided Shen Ninghua's gaze.

The good situation was disturbed, and the third prince felt unwilling: "Ninghua, you are just a woman, so you should not interfere in the affairs between officials before the court."

Shen Ninghua restrained her smile: "What the Third Highness said is true, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The third prince felt contemptuous in his heart, no matter how eloquent his teeth were, he was just a woman, no matter how high his status was, this woman could not interfere in politics!

However, Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the third prince who was looking proud: "It was I who asked the question just now, what's your opinion?"

The third prince was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "Father, please forgive me."

Baili Qingcang didn't cry out, let him kneel down, turned to look at Xu Mian and the others: "I asked the second prince to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, who else disagrees?"

To disagree is to openly refute the imperial decree, to persuade the emperor too much is to force the emperor to die, with Shen Ninghua's previous words as a foreshadowing, who dares to say more?
Although he knew that Shen Ninghua did not open his mouth for himself, Baili Jinchuan still couldn't help feeling hot in his heart. The more he got in touch with Shen Ninghua, the more he couldn't control his heart. Such a woman would stay with him no matter how expensive it was. Beside!
There is no benefit for the second prince, so everyone focused their attention on Shen Dong. The second prince is the emperor's flesh and blood, and they have some scruples, but the Shen family is different. Before Shen Dong was appointed as the prime minister, they could not be shaken. Now the dragon trapped in the shoal will drag you to death!
Baili Qingcang said: "Since the second prince's matter has been resolved, let's talk about Shen Ninghua next, what's your opinion?"

Chen Yun stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Princess Ninghua has made great contributions to the disaster relief this time, and I want to reward you heavily."

"My minister seconded the proposal." The imperial physician and Xiao Jingran who went to the disaster relief both agreed.

Baili Qingcang nodded with satisfaction: "Ninghua, you first assisted in the research of the prescription, and you performed well in the disaster relief process. What do you want?"

Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Dong, meeting his earnest gaze.

Shen Dong did not expect that one day the safety of the Shen family would be entrusted to his daughter whom he disliked the most.

Shen Ninghua turned her head: "Reporting to the emperor, Ninghua has nothing she wants."

Shen Dong's eyes widened suddenly, and the bloodshot eyes were extremely frightening: Why didn't she beg the emperor to spare the Shen family? Could it be that she just wanted to watch the Shen family be destroyed?
