Chapter 441 The Queen's Plea

In the imperial capital, Tang Tiansheng sat high on the dragon throne, looking at the evidence sent by Chu Mo, he was extremely furious.

Although the civil and military officials below did not understand why the emperor was angry, they knew it must be related to the memorial they had just read. Despite this, they all remained silent as they did not understand the reason.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the hall, so much so that one could hear a pin drop.

Tang Tiansheng's pair of eyes filled with dragon power silently scanned everyone in the hall, especially where his gaze lingered, which frightened the minister so much that he trembled.

After taking a quick look, Tang Tiansheng no longer concealed anything and said, "It was truly thunder and lightning, and it was all the grace of the emperor. A decision made back then has caused the people of Baiwei County in Yuzhou to live in dire straits for more than a decade."

Prime Minister Wei Yu immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the current governor of Baiwei County should be General Jingyu Shen Moqian. He is a member of the Imperial Guards. Could it be that he has failed to live up to your grace?"

Tang Tiansheng clenched his fists on the dragon throne and said word by word: "How could he have failed the emperor's grace? He is clearly a traitor who has become a powerful official in Baiwei County. These are the memorials submitted by the Shadow Guard Supervisor. One of them was sent in a few days ago. Prime Minister, please take a good look at it."

After saying this, he handed the memorial to the eunuch Wubao beside him and asked him to pass it on.

Wei Yu took the memorial and read every word on it. The more he read, the more frightened he became. When he read to the end, he was so angry that his eyelids twitched.

"Well, Shen Moqian is really reckless, levying heavy taxes, forming cliques, colluding with secret guards, and killing shadow guards. He is really brave. I am not the one who is responsible for such thrilling events. It is also my dereliction of duty."

Tang Tiansheng waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, but how can a small governor be so powerful that he can even get involved in my secret guards? There must be someone backing him up."

"Who do you think it could be, Prime Minister?"

Wei Yu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am a stupid official. I just heard about this matter and didn't know who was behind it. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Tang Tiansheng then glanced at everyone and said majestically, "Who do you think dared a small governor to act so recklessly?"

All of them bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. We didn't know."

Tang Tiansheng, who saw everything, had his eyes flickering. They were all a bunch of old foxes. Knowing what happened back then, how could they not guess it? It's not that they don't know, but they just don't dare to say it.

Tang Tiansheng then said, "Okay, since you don't know, let's not talk about this for now. Keep your mouth shut. We'll settle the score later after the Shadow Guard Inspector has dealt with everything."

"But I am here to remind the people behind Shen Moqian that when the dust settles, don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless and disregarding the friendship between the monarch and his subjects."

After saying this, he glanced at a certain place in the hall with a hint of meaning.

"Who has something to report? If not, please leave the court."

At this time in the hall, the ministers who were originally preparing to submit memorials hurriedly stuffed the memorials they had written into their sleeves. Who would dare to offend His Majesty now?

After adjourning the court, Tang Tiansheng walked towards the harem with a gloomy face.

Inside Fengyi Palace, a maid ran over in a hurry, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming this way, get ready to receive him."

Li Wan'er, who was half lying on the recliner, was startled and asked, "What did you say? Shouldn't His Majesty be attending the morning court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at this time? Why are you here?"

Li Wan'er knew Tang Tiansheng too well. If it wasn't for a very important occasion, it would be impossible for the emperor to put aside his morning court and ignore state affairs to come to her.

Although he felt a strong sense of crisis, he remained calm and said, "Quick, get ready, follow me to welcome the king."

"No need, I'm already here, everyone please leave, I have something to say to the Queen."

Then Tang Tiansheng appeared in front of the temple door and stepped one foot into the hall.

Upon hearing this, all the eunuchs and maids left in a hurry, and for a moment, only the emperor and the empress were left in the palace.

"I have met your Majesty"

Tang Tiansheng turned around and stared at Li Wan'er with his eyes. The hall was dead silent.

After a long while, Tang Tiansheng slowly said, "The Queen should know the purpose of my visit."

Li Wan'er glanced at Tang Tiansheng fearfully and said, "I am stupid. Although I don't know what happened in the past few days, I can tell from your Majesty's attitude that he must have made you angry."

"I feel that I have handled all matters of the harem very well. If there is anything I have missed, I hope Your Majesty will let me know."

Tang Tiansheng sat down slowly and said, "The Queen really doesn't know? Then let me ask you, do you remember General Jingyu Shen Moqian?"

Li Wan'er's heart tightened. He had received news a few days ago that his nephew Li Mingxuan was now with him. Could it be that he had caused some trouble that alarmed the emperor?

She immediately told the truth: "Your Majesty, I certainly remember it. The hunting incident back then is still vivid in my mind. He saved my nephew, and I have always been grateful to him."

Tang Tiansheng stared at Li Wan'er's eyes, as if to verify whether she was lying.

"Then I ask you again, have you interacted with him out of gratitude over the years, or has your Li family interacted with him?"

Li Wan'er was certain at this time that something had happened, and judging from the situation, it was an earth-shattering event.

But under the gaze of Tang Tiansheng's powerful eyes, Li Wan'er still spoke the truth: "When your majesty appointed him as General Jingyu, I asked for a governor position and let him guard the area. This is already a way of repaying your kindness."

"After that, I have been staying in the harem. How can I be involved with them? As for my Li family, I don't know anything about this. I haven't been home and met my family for a long time. They did this without consulting me."

"But what evil things did Shen Moqian and the Li family do to make His Majesty so angry?"

How could Li Wan'er not know the meaning of Tang Tiansheng's questions? She just didn't dare to think about it. Otherwise, she would not have sent people to the Li family in Luzhou on purpose, and would not have sent anyone to protect her nephew Li Mingxuan.

Originally, she had a glimmer of hope, but seeing Tang Tiansheng's attitude, she was afraid that he would definitely get to the bottom of the matter.

Li Wan'er, who knew she could not stop him, looked at Tang Tiansheng with tearful eyes and said, "Your Majesty, what crime did my Li family commit? Can you please give me a lighter sentence for my sake?"

After saying that, he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

Tang Tiansheng snorted coldly and said, "Queen, what are you doing? Although this matter really has nothing to do with you and you are completely unaware of it, do you know what the people of Baiwei County in Yuzhou think?"

"That Shen Moqian was using you as a cover to commit all kinds of crimes in Baiwei County. Not only did your nephew collude with him, he even used your Li's Chamber of Commerce to make huge profits. In my opinion, such a bastard should have died back then."

"My queen, there are rumors circulating among the people. How can I stop them from talking? What can I do to restore the queen's image as the mother of the country?"

After saying that, he turned away, leaving behind a lonely figure lying on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
