Although Qi Ning knew that Longtai would never let the Punishment tribe enter the hands of the Sima family, the little emperor was very surprised that he was going to let himself take over the punishment department’s stall.

If he wanted to prevent the Sima family from continuing to be implicated in the case of King Huainan, controlling the Punishment Department was a top priority. Qi Ning knew this. Asking him to take over the punishment department made Qi Ning hesitant.

Longtai looked at his words, and naturally saw that Qi Ning was worried, and asked, “Are you worried that the people from the Ministry of Punishment will not accept you?”

Qi Ning sighed and said, “Your Majesty, I’m afraid that there are far more people who don’t obey me than those in the Department of Punishment.”

“I know very well that the power in the hands of the King of Huainan is mainly distributed in the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Households.” Longtai said softly: “The King of Huainan is gone, and many people in the Ministry of Punishment are worried that the Sima family will find a reason to cleanse them all. If you go to the punishment department at this time, not only will they not refuse, but in order to protect themselves, they will definitely bow down to you.”

Qi Ning knew that what Longtai said was not unreasonable, and after pondering for a moment, he said: “Since the emperor ordered, I can only put the ducks on the shelves. However, I really don’t know much about the punishment name. If you find a more suitable candidate, please also ask. Holy re-use.”

Longtai sighed: “How come I don’t know, but right now I really can’t find a more suitable candidate than you. You will stand in the punishment department first, and whether you can find another candidate will be discussed later.”

Before Qi Ning could speak, he heard footsteps and thought, Fan Dehai hurried in and said, “Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here!”

Longtai frowned and sneered, “What is she doing here at midnight?” But he still winked at Qi Ning, who cooperated tacitly. He had the experience last time, and hid behind the bookcase, his front foot just hid. Going in, the queen mother entered the imperial study on her hind foot.

Qi Ning had never seen the Queen Mother last time, but this time, the location she chose was good. Through the narrow gap between the bookcases, this time she could clearly see the appearance of the Queen Mother.

The beauty in palace dress who came in from outside the door was only thirty-four or five years old. She was wearing a long-sleeved and wide-necked leno shirt, her collarbone was half exposed, her muscles were brighter than snow, her eyes were dazzling, and her whole body was dazzling. The skeleton is slightly thick, but it is like the body of a northern woman, not like the delicate willow in the south of the Yangtze River, which is very plump and tall.

The empress dowager came from the Sima family and was very wealthy since childhood, so she was well maintained.

Longtai had already stepped forward at this time, cupped his hands and said, “My son-in-law pays respects to his mother!”

The queen mother glanced around and said, “I heard that the emperor has just returned to the palace. I wonder if everything went well today for the sacrificial ceremony?” While speaking, she had walked over and sat down on a chair.

Longtai looked very calm, and said, “The ceremony of sacrifice is complete, but… Does the queen mother know that the King of Huainan is in trouble?”

“The king of Huainan is in trouble?” The empress dowager’s plump body was shocked, as if she didn’t know what happened in the imperial mausoleum, she asked anxiously: “Then…then the Duke of Zhenguo…the Duke of Zhenguo and the emperor are both Are you all right?”

“Old Guogong devised a strategy, and effortlessly calmed down the Huainan King’s rebellion, and made great contributions.” Long Tai’s voice was calm and full of irony: “My son is thinking about how to reward him with such a great contribution.”

The Empress Dowager patted her chest, and said with a slight ease: “It’s good that the emperor is safe.” With a cold snort, he said: “Huainan King insists that he is the blood of Emperor Taizu, and has always had bad intentions. If the rebellion can be quelled, there will be no worries in the future.”

Longtai said “oh” and didn’t say much.

The queen mother’s voice immediately said softly: “Your Majesty, it is also a matter for Duke Zhen Guo to quell the rebellion. The late emperor entrusted Duke Zhen Guo to assist him in the administration, and he pacified the traitorous party, so he did not live up to the emperor’s heavy trust.”

“Empress mother, Duke Zhenguo has been named a duke, and my son doesn’t know how to reward him.” Long Tai sighed softly, “I don’t know if the queen mother has any good advice?”

The queen mother smiled and said: “The emperor doesn’t have to worry about it,

Duke Zhen is dedicated to serving the country and assisting the emperor, not for any reward.

“Although her appearance is not glamorous, but because she is well maintained and she has a foundation of beauty, she can be considered charming when she smiles.

Longtai just stood in front of the queen mother respectfully and did not answer.

“It’s just that the King of Huainan has a lot of followers in the court, and the grass will not be eradicated, and the spring breeze will blow again.” The Queen Mother’s face suddenly turned cold and severe: “What is the emperor going to do with the rest of the King of Huainan?”

“What my mother said is very true. There are many remnants of the king of Huainan, and each yamen has his remnants.” Long Tai said: “It is also because of this, to find out the remnants of the king of Huainan, we should not be too hasty to avoid wrong cases.” He raised his head slightly. , said respectfully, “I don’t know what my mother’s future plans will be?”

“The emperor is considerate.” The queen dowager nodded slightly: “However, on such a major event, you still need to listen to the meaning of Duke Zhen. The people under the king of Huainan are treacherous and cunning. You are too young to understand their tricks, Zhen Guo. The Duke has been in the court for many years, so he naturally knows how to distinguish.”

Long Tai said: “What the mother said is that the son also means the same.”

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, “That’s very good. As long as there is Duke Zhenguo to assist, those people can’t make a big wave.” After a pause, he said: “The emperor’s wedding is imminent, and this palace is here today. First, I want to ask the sacrifice. Whether the ceremony went well, and there is also a happy event that I want to tell the emperor.”

“happy event?”

The Empress Dowager sighed softly: “I had always hoped that the emperor would call Wanqiong into the palace, but the emperor did not agree. Instead, he asked Dongqi for marriage. But this is not a bad thing. The emperor is thinking about national affairs, and I am also very relieved.”

Qi Ning heard it behind the bookcase and thought to herself, the Empress Dowager obviously still wanted to welcome Sima Wanqiong into the palace, but she did not change her mind.

“Wan Qiong comes from a noble background, although my son did not welcome him into the palace, but he has been thinking about it.” Long Tai looked up at the Queen Mother’s words, and said softly: “My son is going to find a royal son of the right family in the court. , marry Wan Qiong…!” Before she could finish speaking, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said categorically, “No!”

Long Tai was startled, and the queen mother said, “Your Majesty, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, which one of the most powerful families can you find that is worthy of Wan Qiong?”

“What does the queen mean…?”

“Wan Qiong should be welcomed into the palace.” The queen mother said: “Wan Qiong is outstanding in both appearance and character. In the meaning of this palace, Princess Dong Qi can be established as the queen, but after Wan Qiong enters the palace, she will be sealed. As a noble concubine, there is no need. The emperor is the emperor, and in the future, he will naturally be the three palaces and six courtyards. After all, the princess of Dongqi is from the state of Qi.

Longtai frowned slightly, and the queen mother continued: “After Wan Qiong enters the palace, the emperor can also ask her to help Princess Dongqi manage the harem. The emperor naturally knows that Wan Qiong was born in a famous family and received the best education since childhood. After the palace, this palace can also teach her how to manage the harem, and with her intelligence and spirituality, to assist Princess Dongqi, she will naturally be able to keep the harem in good order, and in this way, it will save the emperor’s worries.”

Longtai pondered slightly, and the empress dowager’s face was slightly cold, and said: “Your Majesty, you said just now that the revolt of the country is fair and you have made great contributions, and you are thinking about how to reward it. If the emperor welcomes Wan Qiong into the palace, he will take good care of him in the future. The emperor, of course, is the best reward for Duke Zhen Guo, is it because the emperor is unwilling?”

Long Tai said: “In this case, the mother is the master.”

“Your Majesty, this palace is for your own good.” After hearing the emperor’s agreement, the empress dowager calmed down and sighed: “In the end, Princess Dongqi is an outsider after all, Wan Qiong is her own family, and Wan Qiong is there to help you. , this palace is also relieved.” He added: “This matter should not be delayed, the day after tomorrow will be the day of the emperor’s wedding, and then we will welcome Wan Qiong and Princess Dongqi into the palace.”

Qi Ning frowned, thinking that the queen mother was impatient to let Sima Wanqiong enter the palace.

Longtai was also surprised: “The day after tomorrow? Mother, is this…is this too hasty. The will has never been issued, and there is only one day left, so it’s too late anyway.”

The empress dowager said with a smile: “The emperor has been busy with government affairs for a while, and he has no time to spare. Naturally, this palace will help the emperor to think about this. This palace has already sent someone to instruct Duke Zhenguo to tell them to prepare early. When this palace and the emperor have negotiated properly, we can welcome Wan Qiong into the palace together on the big wedding day. Since the emperor agreed, this palace will send someone to the imperial palace overnight and let them prepare immediately.”

Longtai sighed: “It turns out that the mother has already arranged it.”

“This palace arranged this, just not to let the emperor bother too much.” The queen mother smiled.

“It’s just like this, isn’t it too wrong to be wronged Wanqiong?” Long Tai said: “The Ministry of Rites is not ready to welcome Wanqiong into the palace, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com When the time comes…! ”

The queen mother shook her head and said: “Wan Qiong is her own person, and there is no grievance. And when the time comes, Wan Qiong and Princess Dongqi will enter the palace together, and the Ministry of Rites has already prepared everything. It will only be one more person, and there will be no what is the problem.”

When Qi Ning heard this, he felt that something was wrong. If Sima Wanqiong and Princess Dongqi entered the palace at the same time, there would likely be trouble.

Longtai obviously realized this, and was about to say something, but the queen mother had already stood up and urged: “It is not too late, the emperor will issue two decrees now, one will be sent to the Duke’s mansion immediately, and Wanqiong will be conferred as the imperial concubine, Another decree is for the Ministry of Rites to make some preparations.”

Longtai hesitated slightly, and the queen mother said: “Your Majesty, you need the courtiers to discuss and list the noble concubine. That means the emperor is in charge, and the courtiers can’t interfere, right?”

Qi Ning thought to herself that the queen mother was really domineering, and she had the demeanor of the Sima family.

Longtai turned around and walked to the desk without hesitation. After a while, he had written down two wills, and then stamped the jade seal. Then he said to the queen mother, “Mother, I wonder if you are satisfied now?”

The queen mother had already leaned over, took a closer look, finally smiled, and said loudly: “Fan Dehai!”

Fan Dehai, who had been standing by the side, hurried forward and knelt down: “The servant is here!”

“These two imperial decrees, you will issue them overnight.” The Queen Mother said: “If there is a mistake, I am the only one who asks you!”

Fan Dehai stepped forward in a hurry, took two imperial edicts, and stepped back.

“Your Majesty has worked hard for the past few days, and you should rest early.” The Queen Mother was satisfied and smiled: “This palace will go back to the palace first.” Without saying much, she turned around and left. Qi Ning was sure that the Queen Mother was far away, so she came out from behind the bookcase. When he walked to the table, he saw Longtai clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were like knives, and his small body was shaking with anger.
