Chapter 1171: Prince Li’s Extra: Indulging the Emperor

"If the emperor feels that I have made a mistake, I will kill this old minister. It can be considered that this old man has finally contributed to the great Zhou Dynasty."

After Mr. Xu Ge finished speaking, he closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, waiting for Murong Zheng to speak.

When Murong Zheng looked at Mr. Xu Ge, who had a calm face, he felt like there was a volcano living in his heart, surging anger, erupting uncontrollably. His only remaining reason warned him over and over again that he must not get angry, must not.

Xu Ge was the most trusted courtier of the late emperor. He praised him several times and even left a last word before his death. Xu Ge would be worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple in a hundred years.

Therefore, even if he wanted to die, for the sake of his own reputation, he could not let him do so.

"Mr. Xu Ge, you are a close minister of the late emperor. You should know the late emperor's thoughts best. If the late emperor knew that you were being deceived and said these words today, I wonder if he would regret his trust in you."

"The Emperor also said that I am a close official of the late Emperor. The late Emperor respected the Queen Mother the most. If I knew that you treated the Queen Mother so poorly after his death, I would definitely regret leaving the country of Great Zhou in your hands."

Hearing that Murong Zheng's words were no longer as forceful as before, Mr. Xu Ge, who had been in the court for half his life, had already guessed what he was thinking, so he simply ignored him and just insisted.

"Xu Chong, you..." Murong Zheng had already given in, but he didn't expect Mr. Xu Ge to say such a thing without caring about his face, and in front of the Bei'an envoy. How could he take the king of his country seriously? Already?

"Your Majesty, I have been patient for thirteen years. I have wanted to risk my life many times to remonstrate with you. Every time I thought of the words of the Queen Mother, I could bear it. The Queen Mother said, you are the king of a country, if you even have a woman. It would be frustrating to not be able to pamper her, so as long as your pampering of Concubine Dong does not endanger Dazhou, it is up to you. "

When Mr. Xu Ge heard Murong Zheng calling his name, he was already irritated and angry. However, his expression remained unchanged, as calm as before, and he spoke impassionedly. His words did not conceal his respect for the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager also wrote to me and my wife about this." Chen Jingting, who was kneeling on the ground, also said.

After Chen Jingting finished speaking, several veterans and important ministers said that they had been given instructions by the Empress Dowager.

The court fell into an eerie silence after the sudden chaos.

Murong Zheng's face changed again and again, and deep down, he was extremely embarrassed and annoyed.

What did the Empress Dowager take him for? Treat him as an ignorant child? What about these courtiers? Also let them make you happy like children?

"My majestic emperor, dotes on a woman and still allows you to indulge her? This is really a big joke."

Murong Zheng suddenly spoke, his fair face was already gloomy, and his eyes were more like hiding sharp blades without any edge.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Zhou, whether you dote on a woman requires the connivance of others is your internal affair. Foreign ministers are not interested. It's just that you connived at your favorite concubine to set fire to our embassy in Bei'an, causing injuries to our two princesses. , we always have to give an explanation to Bei’an.”

Qu Jingze naturally understood that the debate in the court about the Empress Dowager was actually aimed at Concubine Dong Guifei, so when Murong Zheng was furious and wanted to vent his anger on the court officials, he suddenly spoke up and brought the topic back to its original point. trail of.

It's just that this time Qu Jingze spoke more confidently. He could clearly hear what Mr. Xu Ge and the others just said. The Empress Dowager of the Zhou Dynasty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, when dealing with Concubine Dong Guifei, the bottom line was not to harm the Zhou Dynasty.

But this time, Concubine Dong's behavior has seriously endangered the peace between Da Zhou and Bei'an. No matter what Murong Zheng's attitude is, the courtiers will definitely stand on the same front as Murong Zheng.

Moreover, as long as today's debate about the Empress Dowager is carefully directed, all the emperor's paranoia about the Empress Dowager's attitude can be directed to Concubine Dong Gui.

Qu Jingze was thinking about how to guide the topic, but Mr. Xu Ge took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I have always felt that the person who separated you and the Empress Dowager was Concubine Dong. If you hadn't protected her and acted recklessly, The Empress Dowager will not abandon the affairs of the Zhou Dynasty and escape to Hanshan."
