Farmers have children to raise

Chapter 139 Holding hands! (1)
Liu Chen glanced at the two of them, "Sit down, if you have anything to do, sit down and talk about it."

"Yes." The queen and concubine De took their seats below.

As soon as she was seated, Empress Deng tentatively said, "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Cui Ruhai, the son of Master Cui, was killed? The murderer also said that it was the goddess doctor Baisha, and that there were all personal and physical evidence, but the Ministry of Punishment refused to release him for a long time. I don't know why? I'm afraid that this will make the hearts of the ministers cold..."

Liu Chen looked at her with unclear meaning.

Empress Deng's heart was beating like a drum, and she was uneasy.

Liu Chen suddenly said, "So the queen came here for this matter?"

"It's just that I haven't greeted the emperor for some time, by the way..." Seeing that the emperor seemed displeased with this attitude, Empress Deng immediately changed her words.

Liu Chen put down the memorial, took a sip of tea from his cup, "How did you get the news about the empress? The paper just came up from the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that the murderer has not yet been verified."

"It turns out that this is the case. The concubine also heard about it from the Cui family." Empress Deng sighed in embarrassment. She has admitted it herself, if the murderer is not her, who else could it be?"

After a pause, Empress Deng said, "The courtiers and concubines didn't want to ask questions, but when they thought about it, they were all important officials in the court, and the emperor still ordered them to do things. If they didn't respond, if they were cold-hearted, wouldn't they be slack in doing things? "

These words seem to be for the sake of the emperor, but they are actually reminding the emperor, threatening the emperor, not to offend important officials for a trivial person, if they are cold-hearted, it is a matter of great importance to the court and it is not worth it!

Which is more important, you have to weigh it clearly!
Liu Chen looked at the cup, covering the shadows in his eyes, without saying a word, but asked the concubine De, who had been silent all this time, "What do you think of this matter?"

The queen gritted her teeth, and looked at Concubine De coldly.

Concubine De was suddenly asked by the emperor, she was a little taken aback, she thought about her words and said, "Although my concubine has heard about this matter, I don't know the details... It's just that whether it's a citizen or an official, whether there is someone There is a saying, can water carry a boat and overturn it? People are like water, whether it is Master Cui or the goddess doctor Baisha, they are all the subjects of the emperor, and they should be treated fairly. case."

The queen squeezed the teacup's hand, wishing that it was the Concubine De. Isn't this remark contradicting her own?

Liu Chen nodded, "Concubine De is right, the people are not like water, I, the emperor, are all supported by them, without them, I am nothing, and if I lose the hearts of the people, I will really become a lonely family .”

Turning to look at Empress Deng, "Everything I do is to conquer the hearts of the people. As a subject, I must lead by example. What Cui Ruhai did is harming the people. You are relatives. Some things I don't like to say. Tell them well for me, even a meritorious minister should not forget his duty as a minister."

The tone was not heavy, but the meaning of the words was stern, the queen's face turned green, and she had no choice but to agree.

"The concubine will leave first." Before leaving, she glared in the direction of Concubine De.

Concubine De sighed, how could she not know that the emperor was using her to deal with the empress, but knowing that she would take the initiative to be used.

The queen was originally looking for the emperor, but in the end it turned out to be a competition with Concubine De. The others were superior, but she was beaten a lot and became ashamed.

Going back and being angry is needless to say.

After the two empresses left, Liu Chen's face was cloudy.

Sun Ping muttered in his heart, what happened to the emperor?Didn't the empress be sent away with a few words through the concubine De?Why did you get angry when you were supposed to be happy?

"Your Majesty, the tea is cold, may I change it for you?" Sun Ping stepped forward and said.

It's okay not to say, but when he got angry, the emperor directly smashed the cup on the table.

Sun Ping saw that it was okay, so he quickly wiped the water on the table with his sleeve. You can see that he wiped it quickly, and he couldn't do it quickly. The table was full of memorials, so it couldn't be damaged!

"Whatever you wipe, you should burn it." Liu Chen glared.

"Your Majesty, calm down, these notebooks can be burned." Sun Ping said cautiously.

Liu Chen snatched it over, "Look at what's written on it, it's all about asking me to severely punish the murderer, Goddess Baisha, hmph, these are people from the Cui and Deng families, and they're all threatening me, you Look at how many documents there are, there are many important ministers in the court, let me see it, it is shocking, and it makes me angry, they really think that I can't do anything with them, and I can't do without them..." A flash of light flashed in his eyes come viciously.

Sun Ping was terrified and didn't dare to say anything.

Xin said, this really annoys the emperor, it has been a long time since the emperor loses his temper, is the emperor planning to do something to the Cui Deng family?

Hey, the foundations of these two families are solid, and they have penetrated into every corner of the Great Rong Dynasty. Since the emperor did not succeed to the throne, they have been as stable as Mount Tai, unbreakable.

How easy is it to move them without causing turmoil?
After Baochun crossed over, in just half a year, he visited everything, even prison cells and other places.

If you want to ask how it tastes, although the diet and daily life are simple, they are not too different from the usual ones. Every meal has meat and vegetables, and there are snacks and fruits after the meal, except that there is no freedom.

It has been two days since the first day of interrogation, during which time no one came to intervene.

Baochun can't do anything here, and he doesn't know what's going on outside. When he asks the jailers, they don't know anything.

"Meals are delivered." Just as he was thinking about something, someone came outside.

Baochun heard that the food was delivered, but he didn't move. There was a partition above, and the food was delivered from there, and the door of the cell was not opened.

However, before the man's footsteps approached the cell, he heard someone shout, "Stop!"

The man asked the delivery man, "Why are you? Where was the man before?"

"My lord, that man's mother is sick in bed, so I can't come and let me take his place..." Why did this voice sound like it was trembling?

Baochun hurriedly got out of bed, looked out through the iron bars, and saw a man dressed as a prison guard, with a sword, he overturned the wooden tray containing the food, and saw that the face of the person delivering the food was pale.
