Chapter 401: Discussing the Emperor

The first wave of angels he sent to Pingzhou quickly sent back a message.

Shi Tao didn't like Lu Desheng, so he rarely caught the opportunity to harm Lu Desheng, so he obstructed him and tried his best to smear him.

But for Song Mo, it was expected that Lu Desheng would protect the Qin family. And he is still not sure how to treat the Qin family. The Qin family is a loyal family with a lot of talents. It's a shame to use them, but it's a pity not to use them.

The contradiction between Song and Mo is actually the contradiction between personal selfishness and national justice. To put it bluntly, he is good at planning but not good at making decisions.

After Zhang Xian returned to Chang'an, he resumed his usual treatment of accompanying him as a driver.

He endured this trick to smear Mr. Lu, and finally gritted his teeth, "Just wait, Shi Tao, you won't end well."

Song Mo was very satisfied with Zhang Xian's knowledge and interest.

Song Mo was in a good mood. After dinner, the eunuch Liang An saw that the weather was fine and suggested that he go for a walk in the imperial garden to eat.

Song Mo agreed, and unknowingly, the group of people walked near Jianzhang Palace.

Li Jieying saw him from a distance and made a vague gesture to someone before slowly retreating.

Jianzhang Palace is the palace where beautiful women are placed.

Recently, the atmosphere in the previous court was tense due to the Nanyang earthquake, and there was a lot of trouble in the palace due to the draft.

This time for the draft, the harem was opened for the first time. In addition to the queen, there were also three ladies, nine concubines, etc. waiting for their seats. In other words, in this draft, they will not only select a queen, but also a group of concubines to expand the harem.

Both the ministers of the previous dynasty and people in the harem such as the Empress Dowager and others took this matter very seriously.

Because Song Mo was only fifteen, if nothing unexpected happened, he would stay on the throne for many years.

Many of the identities of this year's show girls are not simple. Among them, the most distinguished one is Peng Lihua, the youngest eldest daughter of the Peng family in the former Chengen Palace.

The Peng family is determined to win the throne. And with the support of the Empress Dowager, Peng Lihua was also very powerful in Jianzhang Palace.

Some time ago, under Li Jieying's ingenious arrangement, Shi Rou accidentally offended Peng Lihua, a beautiful girl sent by the Empress Dowager's natal family.

No, that day, Peng Lihua found an excuse to teach Shi Rou a lesson.

Shi Rou was greatly wronged, and the emperor happened to be in the harem at this time. Her good sisters stood up for her and took her to go to the emperor for comment, and she half-rejected and half-heartedly agreed.

Although she had only met the emperor twice, Shi Rou noticed that the emperor looked at her differently, with a more pleasant look. As for Peng Lihua, she is impatient and doesn't want to see her.

To her surprise, the result of their consultation with the emperor was not satisfactory.

For several days, Shi Rou was in a bad mood. The maid who served her suggested that she go to Taiye Pond to relax.

Before Shi Rou came out, she drank a bowl of sweet wine with eggs.

There was something wrong with the bowl of sweet wine for the eggs, and she felt a little dizzy at this moment.

The maid Hongxiu helped her sit down in the pavilion next to her.

"Miss, don't be too sad. I feel aggrieved for you if you are like this."

"Hongxiu, stop talking."

"Miss, Hong Xiu feels sorry for you. The Emperor is clearly partial to Peng Xiunv! It's obvious that the truth is not difficult to find out, and the twists and turns inside can be found out, but the Emperor -"

"The Emperor is not that kind of person."

"I heard that this was not how the late emperor handled disputes in the harem when he was still alive."

"The late emperor was the late emperor, and today is today, how can this compare?" Shi Rou's last sentence was close to gibbering.

Shi Tao was placed in the position of governor of Pingzhou by the late emperor. The entire Shi family was very grateful to the late emperor.

"Yes, the late emperor was such a good person. It's a pity that he died so suddenly."

"The late emperor is indeed good..."

When you are drunk, your self-control will become weaker. In addition, you feel really aggrieved. If someone deliberately guides you at this time, you will be fooled.

What she meant in her words was that the emperor was short-sighted, not as wise as the late emperor, and not as knowledgeable as the late emperor...

Not far away, Song Mo's face was dark and gloomy, and the palace attendants who were accompanying him didn't dare to breathe.

Liang An immediately flicked his fly whisk and shouted loudly, "How dare you, a humble maid, dare to speak ill of the emperor?! Our family will definitely punish you for the crime of disrespect!"

Master Shi Rou was startled. Looking back, Shi Rou woke up and knelt down on her knees in fright. "Your Majesty, please forgive me." Her shoulders were shaking involuntarily, and her tears were like broken beads, drop by drop. Fall down.

Song Mo was unmoved. Shi Rou was beautiful. Song Mo was originally very satisfied with her and was willing to be included in the palace.

But now? His eyes narrowed slightly.

Who gave Shi Rou the confidence to say such rebellious words?

And in the Shi family, who dares to say such a thing? That must be Shi Tao! Perhaps he went further than that.

As a woman, she must have heard such words often at home, so she could not help but express her dissatisfaction with him as the emperor after being wronged.

I have to say that Song Mo is a conspiracy theory.

In the end, Song Mo did not deal with Shi Rou immediately for the sake of his own reputation, but the maid next to her was not so lucky. Liang An had her taken to the Shenxing Department.

Li Jieying quietly went to the Punishment Department and found the steward responsible for executing the palace ladies. "After all, Hongxiu comes from my family. Let's give our family a face and save her life." As he spoke, Li Jieying handed over the A purse passed.

The steward of the Shenxing Department squeezed his thin purse and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Don't worry, Eunuch Li, this slave's crime is not serious. We will just punish her with a small punishment and a big warning."

Before leaving, Li Jieying and Hongxiu exchanged a tacit look.

Shi Rou can't drink much, Hong Xiu can talk ventriloquism, and if Shi Rou doesn't cooperate, she will make her confused and unconscious, and she will go directly.

When the emperor's people make trouble, she will push Shi Rou into the water, and the matter will be accomplished.

I didn't expect Shi Rou to be so outspoken after drinking.

Here, Song Mo returned to the imperial study with a belly full of anger and ordered Lin Ran to send people to Pingzhou to check Shi Tao.

Look, the first group of people sent by Song Mo to Pingzhou to ask Shi Tao about the Qin family have not returned yet, so he sent a second group.

Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Governor's Mansion

Jiang Changyun sighed, what he was going to do next was too difficult.

He hoped that the governor would understand him, just like the chin bean at the beginning.

There was no way, the other party gave too much.

He was just an ordinary person and couldn't resist.

While sighing, he took the two bottles of wine to the kitchen.

He knew these two bottles of wine. They were clear and fragrant, and were rare fine wines. The governor would definitely like them.
