Harem Seizure

Chapter 94

"Your Majesty, my minister Cheng Shimei has a book to play!"

Li Huang raised his head and glanced at Cheng Shimei, then lowered his head, his thick eyebrows furrowed.This Cheng Shimei is a protégé of Duke Qin, and currently serves as the censor.Li Huang was not afraid that the minister would have his own performance, even if it was to scold him, it was fine.But why is it the censor?
The judgment of merit and demerit in ancient times all depends on the mouth of the censor.If you are a loyal minister and the censor appreciates you, you are a good person.If you don't understand four or six, will you offend these censors?Sorry, you may be a traitor or unknown in history.

Glancing at him, she said in a deep voice, "Cheng Aiqing, what do you have to play?"

Cheng Shimei looked at Li Huang calmly, knelt down and said, "I want to read Yang Naijin's book."

"Yang Naijin? Concubine Qi's elder brother?" Li Huang searched in his mind, and suddenly remembered that he is now Chao Yilang.It's just a No. 14 rank, a sixth-rank prose official.Does this also require a royal doctor to participate in the book?

Cheng Shimei knelt down and said: "I want to join the Yang family's family style is not strict!"

"Governance of the family is not strict..." If these words sound normal, the family tradition is not strict, it is nothing more than family affairs, and the affairs of the backyard of the family's own home will not hinder the affairs of the censor.But now Concubine Qi just went to jail yesterday, and Yang's elder brother was imprisoned today, thinking about it, it's a delicate matter.

As soon as Cheng Yushi's words fell, the ministers below exploded.They all started whispering in low voices, thinking about it, when Concubine Qi was sent to prison yesterday, she was stripped down to only one piece of clothing.What about clothes?They were all taken away by Li Huang, lest she commit suicide.But the ministers didn't know about it, because they thought Concubine Qi was about to fall.This stripped the clothes to only the middle clothes, and escorted them all the way to the prison. The guards in the palace... Tsk tsk, I don't know how graceful this concubine Qi is?
Li Guo's punishment for women has always been relatively strict, and he thinks that women should be punished even more for making mistakes.But there are very few people like Concubine Qi!Even if the prisoner made a mistake, he still gave the prisoner face in the classroom, and basically did not take off his clothes to be punished, leaving a layer of clothes to hide his shame.

But what is this shirt?At that time, the inner garment, the clothes worn inside, were equivalent to underwear.This woman was seen in her underwear, she must have lost all her face.

Listening to the chattering voice below, Li Huang's complexion became more and more foul, and he could not help but hum.It has to be said that Li Huang's cold snort really worked, and the ministers below were afraid to speak.Seeing all the ministers bowing their heads in obedience, Li Huang couldn't help feeling that their whispering just now was his own illusion.

Clearing his throat, Li Huang looked at Cheng Shimei indifferently and asked, "Lack of strict family management? A mere sixth-rank official, and a fault of lax family management, why was he dragged to this Longde Hall?"

"Yes... the sixth-rank official's family affairs don't need to be dealt with in the court, but it's not Lord Yang's family that's being dealt with. It's Lord Yang's younger sister... Concubine Yang Qi."

Hearing the words Concubine Yang Qi, the ministers gasped for a while.Qin Guogong glared at Cheng Shimei, secretly thinking that this student is really crazy, to mention this matter at this time.Who knows whether the emperor is happy or angry?

Concubine Qi glanced at Duke Qin, her eyes were a little dark.Could this Old Ghost Qin be instructed by you?

Qin Guogong looked at Li Huang's eyes, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and touched his nose with his hand.I looked at Li Huang innocently, as if I didn't do anything.I just found out about this today.

Seeing that Qin Guogong was normal, he turned his eyes to Cheng Shimei who was kneeling.What does Cheng Shimei want to do?At this time, I will read Concubine Qi, what do you think?Although Concubine Qi is indeed hateful, even if no ministers came to visit her today, Emperor Li would instruct Qin Guogong and others.But now... this censor... is really difficult to handle.

Cheng Shimei also knew what Emperor Li meant, so she couldn't help but continued in a deep voice: "Concubine Qi has insulted women's virtues, and she didn't raise her father. The old father of Concubine Qi has passed away, and her elder brother is like a father. Yang Naijin should bear such mistakes I implore the emperor to remove Lord Yang from the post of Chao Yilang."

After Li Huang heard this, he frowned slightly, but his heart was already smiling.Unexpectedly, this Cheng Shimei is really in line with my wishes. Originally, this Yang Naijin was a person without much ability.The glory of the Yang family fighting back then is long gone, but the title still exists.By the generation of Concubine Qi's father, it was no longer so brilliant.However, Mr. Yang still retained his title by relying on his own ability.But this old man has a hard life, Yang Naijin is a single seedling out of Yang's family, and he is still useless.At the beginning, he directly changed his civil position and let him inherit it, but he had to gradually become a sixth-rank essay official.Eating imperial food, not doing personnel affairs.Relying on the loyalty of his family for generations, Emperor Li really couldn't touch him.At this time, this reason, this crime, is very good.

Cheng Shimei watched Li Huang frowned and thought, and lowered his head for a while, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, although Lord Yang's family is loyal, filial piety is the first priority in everything. As an elder brother, Lord Yang failed to teach his younger sister well. It violated the entrustment of Yang Jungong back then. It violated the father's order and was regarded as unfilial. You punished him like this, and at that time his crime was lightly forgiven."

Well, Cheng Shimei's charges against Yang Naijin are not small.This is unfilial...but you will be punished with a hundred sticks and exiled for thousands of miles.Li Huang smiled coldly, looked at Cheng Shimei and nodded in satisfaction, he is indeed a smart person.This censor is not in vain.

"Well, what Cheng Aiqing said is reasonable. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think!" Li Huang raised his eyes and looked at the ministers with their heads down, breaking the silence in the hall and asked.

At this moment, all the ministers were single-minded, and they bowed their hands to the emperor and said: "I think what Master Cheng said is very true."

Li Huang nodded, and immediately issued an imperial edict.Accused Yang Naijin of being unfilial and unfraternal, being unkind to his brother, and teaching his sister not to be serious.Going against my father's entrustment is really a disappointment to my father's heart. Although I feel sorry for the loyal minister, it is really difficult for the country's laws and family rules to tolerate it.After Nian became a loyal minister, he was exempted from the punishment of rod punishment and exile, and was sentenced to dismissal punishment.

After dealing with the court affairs, Emperor Li went to Yi'an Palace and told the Empress Dowager about Concubine Qi.Originally thought that the Queen Mother would be furious, but to Li Huang's surprise, the Queen Mother was quite calm.

The Empress Dowager Chu pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head to look at Li Huang, she frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Where is Yang's being imprisoned now?"

"My son has already imprisoned her in the sky prison. After all, Yang is a concubine. If there is a trial, you should be the main interrogator." Li Huang raised his head and glanced at the contemplative Empress Dowager Chu, Said quietly.

The Empress Dowager Chu looked up at Emperor Li, coughed lightly and said, "Emperor, you are the emperor and you can't handle the concubine's affairs properly. But this matter is of great importance, and you can't do it if you don't participate. Now the Empress The month is getting old, and it won't be long before the childbirth. It is really inappropriate for her to deal with this matter. And the imperial concubine is ill. There are only two noble concubines left. But the matter involved Yue'er, do you think Mrs. Gao wants to avoid suspicion?"

"Isn't it inappropriate to leave the trial of the Yang family to the Xia family alone?" Li Huang raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager Chu.Doesn't he know that?That's why I sent this matter to the Queen Mother to handle.After all, Concubine Qi used to be his bedside person, and she was really reluctant to dispose of him.

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Huang's appearance and understood Li Huang's meaning, so she just smiled and said: "How about this, the Yang family is still presided over by you. It would be good if the Xia family and the Shao family were to be assistants. This Xia family is the noble concubine , Shao is a virtuous concubine, so she can control Yang, so let them do the interrogation."

Li Huang nodded lightly, feeling that what the Queen Mother said was not bad, he smiled and said: "What you said, Queen Mother, is very true. It's just that Yang's affairs can't be suppressed. The women in the harem still want to Please, Queen Mother, scare them and tell them to keep their mouths shut."

The Empress Dowager Chu understood what Li Huang meant, she nodded quickly and said, "The Ai family still understands this matter. The matter of Concubine Qi is now known to the whole palace, maybe there will be some royal rumors Scandal, Aijia will keep their mouths shut."

Emperor Li nodded in satisfaction, then left Yi'an Palace, and immediately conveyed the imperial decree, asking Concubine Xia and Shao Yunyan to prepare for the interrogation of the concubine Yang.

The corner of Shao Yunyan's mouth twitched when she received the imperial decree from Emperor Li.He knew that Emperor Li would not be able to hold his breath, so he made such a move, dug a hole and waited for Concubine Qi to jump into it.You have done so many things, I am afraid that others will not tolerate you.

Shao Yunyan came to the interrogation hall early the next day. The interrogation hall was not like other torture halls, but it was very cold and empty, and the dignitaries couldn't help but feel creepy.Seeing that Concubine Xia actually found her and sat there, Shao Yunyan couldn't help but smile, walked up to Concubine Xia, bowed profusely and said, "Sister Xia arrived earlier than my concubine, it's my concubine who is late, please Sister, don't blame me."

Concubine Xia glanced at Shao Yunyan and frowned slightly.I couldn't help but feel a little bit of displeasure in my heart. I thought that after Gao Shi needed to avoid it, I would interrogate Concubine Qi alone with the emperor. If I behaved better, maybe the emperor would miss me.But why do you still need to point out a virtuous concubine as assistant?Concubine Xia couldn't figure this out, so how could Emperor Li want Shao Yunyan to come here to blow the cold wind?You know it's very shady here.

Seeing Shao Yunyan bend over to salute, Concubine Xia felt smooth all over.He smiled quickly, pointed to the chair on the right and said, "Sister, sit down quickly, we sisters don't talk about this. It's just that my sister is pregnant now, it's really not good to come here, not to mention that you will be hurt by the cold, Even being bumped into by that concubine Qi is not good. Sit down quickly and be safe. Cuilian pours a cup of hot tea for the empress to warm her hands and stomach." Concubine Xia cared about Shao Yunyan every word, but in fact she wished for herself Everything that was said has come true, that concubine Xian... the child will be lost.

Concubine Xia curled her lips, looked at Shao Yunyan quietly, raised her eyebrows and waited for Shao Yunyan to accept her move.
