Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 456 Then Give Him a Better Fief
The empress dowager's expression returned to calm.

"However, the main purpose of Aijia is to save the emperor!"

"If Gu Ming is still unable to attack the bandit den by the end of the year, Gu Zheng will definitely come to negotiate terms with Ai's family. At that time, the emperor will be saved."

"Who knows, things will turn out like this."

The emperor sneered in his heart, and the queen mother also learned to lie.

Her main purpose in forcing Gu Ming to issue a military order is to take this opportunity to destroy Gu Zheng's forces: Longtang and the Brothers' Gang.

As for his son who was controlled by Gu Zheng, she would save him if she could, and let him fend for himself if she couldn't.

She asked the prince to review the memorials every day, which is the best proof.

The emperor sighed: "This may be God's will. The throne belongs to their family, so it should be returned to them."

The empress dowager's anger was provoked again.

"The Ai family really didn't expect it! The emperor is so selfish, in order to save his own life, he can even give up the throne!"

"You! You don't deserve to be an emperor at all!"

The emperor argued: "My mother's words are wrong! I will return the throne to Gu Zheng, not to save my own life, but to save the lives of all my sons!"

"Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi, if they have a way to poison me, they must also have a way to poison the crown prince who takes over the throne!"

"At that time, the queen mother will definitely abandon the prince again, but no matter who takes over the throne, Gu Zheng will try every means to poison him for peace."

"In the end, none of my sons may be able to keep..."

These words were taught by Eunuch Xiaoshun.

The empress dowager scolded angrily: "Shut up for Aijia!"

The emperor sneered: "What I said is just the truth, in order to keep my sons, I decided to return the throne to Gu Zheng!"

The empress dowager covered her heart: "How dare you..."

Her heart hurts, she is unfilial, wicked!

The emperor said: "I have made up my mind. As long as I die, someone will read the edict. If the empress wants to find out the edict and destroy it, I advise the empress not to waste her time!"

"I have been in power for more than ten years, if I don't even have one or two confidantes, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

The empress dowager almost died of anger.

The next day, the empress dowager came to the emperor's bedroom again.

"The person sent by the emperor to get the antidote, did you reply?"

"Go back, Gu Zheng wants us to show sincerity, otherwise we will never get the antidote."

"Gu Zheng also said that no matter who takes over the throne, he is not afraid."

The last sentence was said by the emperor according to the meaning of Eunuch Xiaoshun.

In fact, the original words of Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi were: the emperor broke his trust with them first, and it is impossible to give them the antidote.

The emperor knew that Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi also wanted him to die, and thought that the prince's succession to the throne must be much better than him.

If he wanted Gu Zheng and the others to change their minds, he had to give Gu Zheng enough temptations.

The empress dowager had a headache.

"How can I be sincere?"

The emperor said: "The queen mother apologized publicly, and gave Gu Zheng's family a gold medal to avoid death, and gave Gu Zheng a fief."

The empress dowager was in a very complicated mood. She hadn't been able to make up her mind to kill the emperor, but now that the emperor had expert advice, she had no choice but to save the emperor.

"I can give you a gold medal for avoiding death, and you can also give me a fief. It is impossible for the Ai family to apologize publicly!"

The emperor took the opportunity to suggest: "Then give him a better fiefdom."

The empress dowager asked him back: "According to the emperor's intention, where is the best place to entrust him with land?"

She also thought about sending them away to a remote barren land.
