Chapter 1181: Prince Li’s Extra: The Ministers’ Thoughts
"Master Qu, you should also know that the two princesses of your country did not harm their lives." In the silence of the court, Murong Zheng spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it was a bit indifferent, but it made Concubine Dong Gui feel that , this voice is a clear spring in the desert of despair.
She called to the emperor in a low voice, but her previous panic was due to his voice gradually getting warmer.
She knew that the emperor would never give up on her, never.
"If the rescue had not been timely, I am afraid that both of my two princesses in Bei'an would have become dead souls." Seeing that Murong Zheng was still protecting Concubine Dong Gui, Qu Jingze became increasingly unhappy.
"The rescue was also carried out by my soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty, Princess Jiaoyang of your country, and the third prince rescued her."
Murong Zheng naturally knew the meaning of Qu Jingze's words. What he meant was that Concubine Dong wanted to put people to death and should not be spared lightly, so he could only find another way, hoping that Qu Jingze would take advantage of the third prince's life-saving grace. , the attitude is slightly gentler.
"I'm afraid that the Emperor Zhou has forgotten that our princess saved the third prince's life. The third prince did this to repay his kindness. But you, the emperor, knew that our princess saved the third prince of your country, but you didn't care about Princess Jiaoyang. You protected the murderer when he was almost killed. I wonder if this will hurt the hearts of Concubine Jin and the Third Prince."
Qu Jingze is not that easy to fool. Killing is killing, saving is saving. You can't erase the sin of murder just because you save people, not to mention that the person who saves people is not Dong Guifei.
"The foreign minister knows that the emperor loves the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine has made a big mistake. If the emperor does not punish her severely, it will not only be my Bei'an people who are afraid of the cold. The foreign minister does not want the imperial concubine's life, but she is still aloof and still aloof. Good clothes and good food, not to mention that the Emperor and Queen of Bei'an don't agree, even the foreign ministers don't agree. "
After Qu Jingze finished speaking, he looked up at Murong Zheng. He naturally knew that Murong Zheng was shrinking. He was unwilling to take the step of punishing Concubine Dong Guifei, but the facts were there and Murong Zheng could not escape.
You can save Dong Guifei's life, but you can't let her still be the beloved concubine.
Compared with the two princesses who almost died, Qu Jingze's requirements were really very low, and he was absolutely kind to Concubine Dong Gui.
"Your Majesty, do they in Bei'an want to take care of the internal affairs of our Zhou Dynasty? Concubine..." Seeing that no one in the courtiers objected, Concubine Dong Gui felt very frightened. She grabbed Murong Zheng's clothes and shook them hard.
She can't live without the emperor's favor, cannot live without fine clothes and fine food, cannot live without the power of being the deputy empress, and she has to help her children get the position of emperor.
"Your Majesty, the request of the Bei'an envoy is not excessive and should be granted."
"Your Majesty, although Bei'an is unwilling to pursue the case, Concubine Dong Gui intends to destroy the peace of the two countries. This trend cannot last forever. I ask the emperor to kill Concubine Dong as a warning to others."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has made it clear that the harem must not interfere with the government's affairs and diplomacy. Concubine Dong Guifei knowingly committed the crime, and not killing her is not enough to set the course for the government."
"I beg the Emperor to issue an order to punish Concubine Dong Gui severely."
"Please give me the emperor's decree."
All the ministers spoke out one after another. Concubine Dong Guifei, who originally wanted to keep her own glory and wealth, panicked in her heart when she saw the scene in front of her. It was clear that she had escaped death, and the envoys from Bei'an were not pursuing any further investigation. These ministers in the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall We, actually...
But no matter how angry she was in her heart, she didn't dare to say another word at the critical moment.
She looked at Murong Zheng with tears in her eyes, and used her hands secretly to make Murong Zheng feel the changes in her clothes. As expected, Murong Zheng lowered his head, and she met her eyes with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with tears.
Murong Zheng looked at the angry courtiers and finally sighed tiredly.
He knew very well that his ministers were forcing him to express his position. They all knew that they would not kill Dong Guifei, so they shouted to kill her. In this way, even if he took a step back, as far as Dong Guifei was concerned, it was just that he was gone. Worried about their lives, they will also fall into despair.
However, both Bei'an's envoys and his own ministers were waiting for him to speak.
