Chapter 488 The pain of lying is finally over 36


Chapter 488: The pain of deceiving comes to an end 36

On the second day, someone in the court impeached the prince, saying that he had sold more than thirty slaves and maids to death with a stick, and demanded that the prince be severely punished.

Xue Pinggui felt his temples beating. It would be fine if it was just the prince, but why was the queen involved?

The Protector, who had been silent for a year and worked hard to be invisible here, finally jumped out: "The Queen is virtuous and kind, and will not kill anyone easily. Even in Zhaoyangyuan, I have never heard of her punishing anyone. Please." Your Majesty is aware of this!”

After calling a few accompanying palace maids and chamberlains, and asking questions, Xue Pinggui realized that the prince was not in a miserable state, but was in a real state of misery. When the queen passed by, the servants and maids in the courtyard were missing. The tables, chairs and benches in the prince's bedroom were covered with dust. The prince was extremely thin from hunger.

After inquiry, the queen learned that the prince's money had been embezzled and his servants were slack, sometimes only getting one meal a day. Then he got angry and called for all the servants and maids to take him and beat him. The prince suffered too much, so the queen agreed to the prince's request and killed them all.

Xue Pinggui suddenly became furious after hearing this, and slammed his hand on the handle of the dragon chair: "The stick is right. If it is an orphan, after the beating, it will be quartered by five horses, and all the family members will be sent to the army!"

The ministers all looked at it and remained silent. Who ordered the prince not to go to court to discuss matters, but to observe filial piety at home? Without moon silver, it’s been a long time, no wonder the slaves are slacking off.

This means that his son can only fend for himself and not be angered by others. Well, biologically!

Xue Pinggui immediately ordered a strict investigation into the matter to find out who had deducted the prince's money!

Damn it, this is my country, my son, my money, don’t let it go into other people’s pockets.

Knowing that the queen had ordered Concubine Shu and Concubine De to investigate, Xue Pinggui nodded: "Well, the queen has done a good job. Guguo is busy with affairs and has been negligent. Fortunately, the empress has helped to prevent the prince from continuing to be wronged."< br>


"Long live the wise man!" The ministers below echoed. In fact, I had already rolled my eyes in my heart. The land area of ​​Tang Dynasty was several times larger than that of Xiliang, and the prince was not allowed to have only one meal a day.

God knows whether His Majesty knew about this or not. Maybe the slave was ordered to do this. But I don’t know if they were ordered, because they were all killed with sticks.

Xue Pinggui immediately rewarded the prince with a thousand taels of silver, a banquet table, and the queen with two pieces of brocade.

Such a reward was not painful for the Tang Dynasty; but for Xiliang, it was considered moderate. At least the emperor showed his attitude that he valued the prince.

After the morning court, Xue Pinggui sent someone to deliver an oral message to Concubine Shu and Concubine De, saying that they were not doing things well and had treated the prince badly. If they made such a big mistake again, they would be severely punished.

At the same time, he ordered people to go to Zhaoyangyuan and said that he would go there for lunch.

After hearing the oral instructions, Xining pursed his lips. This move seems to be the right one!

When Sun Meiren heard that the emperor was coming to have lunch, she was secretly happy. As expected, she would be able to see more of his majesty by following the queen. She immediately went to do it herself and even cooked it herself.

During the meal, Sun Meiren left knowingly and asked Xiaoyue to serve beside her.

Xue Pinggui was eating the food and asked casually: "Why would the empress want to go to the prince's place?"

This is a trap. If you can’t answer it well, you’re doomed!

Xining said in a soft voice: "Sister Dai Zan passed away and left her children. As a long-lived wife, I should take care of them. So I went over to take a look, but I didn't expect that the prince lived such a life." After finishing speaking, He also deliberately wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief that had no tears at all.

Xue Pinggui sighed: "Don't you think that Lin'er will inherit Gu's family when he grows up? He is a direct descendant and is more suitable to inherit the throne."

As expected, Xue Pinggui had no feelings for Dai Zan, and even hated her to the core. Otherwise, after all these years of being so angry with the prince, most people would have turned against him long ago. Xue Pinggui finally waited until the right time to defeat Dai Zan, and finally won the final victory and successfully counterattacked! Xining said softly: "The prince is the eldest son and is of the blood of the previous king of Xiliang. Most of the ministers will advocate the establishment of a eldest son. Now is not the time to change the prince's name, which will cause turmoil in the court. Your Majesty has been worrying about state affairs all day long, knowing full well that when Being an emperor is not easy, Lin'er is still young, and I don't want him to get involved in disputes. If the prince inherits the throne in the future, he can return to Jiangnan and spread the branches and leaves of the Xue family. "

Xue Pinggui nodded and couldn't help but admire: "The empress has figured it out."

It is indeed not a good time to change the throne to a new crown prince. The late king has been in power for more than 20 years and has a solid foundation that cannot be pulled out in a day or two. If we talk about changing the throne to a prince, the officials and ministers who had finally found peace would not immediately cry and shout out their advice, and hit the dragon pillar if they disagreed.

Lin'er is only half a year old, whether he will be smart or not will have to wait until he grows up. You can't lose your hard-earned empire to a son with low talent and mediocre qualifications, right?

After taking two more bites, Xue Pinggui pointed to one of them: "This is quite well done."

Xining pretended to look at it in detail, but it was actually an ordinary dish. However, Xue Pinggui liked sour and salty dishes, so this dish just suited his appetite, so he said: "This should be made by Sun Meiren. I learned that His Majesty is coming to have lunch. She specially cooked a few dishes. If your Majesty likes it, please eat more.”

Xue Pinggui nodded and picked up another chopstick.

Looking at this guy's eyes shining slightly, he recalled the feeling of sneaking around here with Sun Meiren before carrying Dai Zan on his back.

After eating, Xining asked Sun Meiren to come over and wait on her, and went to sleep somewhere else. It wasn't until Xiaoyue told her to get up that she lazily got up and sent Xue Pinggui out.

Xue Pinggui seemed to be getting better and felt refreshed. Sun Meiren followed behind, her face was like a peach blossom, and the two of them knew what had happened at a glance.

As soon as Xue Pinggui left, Sun Meiren knelt down to thank her, wishing that she could be worshiped as an ancestor. Xining naturally said a few nice words and asked Sun Meiren to rest.

After Sun Meiren left, Xining picked up the ginseng tea and drank it.

Xiao Yue, who was standing by, pursed her lips: "It's really amazing. Your Majesty has to ask for water twice!"

It made her almost squirt.

In the morning, the prince came to say hello. The prince came well prepared, knowing that she liked to sleep in, so he spared all the concubines' greetings in order to sleep in, so he came here only after three o'clock in the morning.

As soon as he came in, he knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

Oh my god, Xining was shocked! The concubines' greetings were only a half-ceremony. Unless they made a mistake, they had to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Prince, please get up quickly, there is no need to pay such a big courtesy!" Xining quickly asked him to get up. If someone saw it, they would think that she was treating Dai Zan's son harshly.

The prince knelt there and was very grateful: "Thank you so much for interceding for me, Queen Mother. People say that Queen Mother is kind, but I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect that Queen Mother came to the rescue at the most difficult time. From then on, I am as filial as my biological mother!" ”
