LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

The Queen Mother saw the Emperor at a glance and felt a little embarrassed.

But after all, she is the emperor's mother. So what if the emperor is stingy?

The emperor walked a few steps closer and said helplessly, "Mother, it's not that I am stingy, but Jingyang Hou has just returned from the border with military merit. How can you immediately order a divorce for a meritorious official?"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly upon hearing this and said, "He has made great contributions on the battlefield, and the Emperor has already appointed him as a third-rank Zhaowu General. This is a real reward.

It is only natural for the emperor to punish him if he makes a mistake.

If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner.

The emperor can only gain the trust of the people if he clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments.

Although this world belongs to men, there would be no men without women.

If the emperor doesn't give Shuang'er an explanation for Jing Zhaoyan's preference for concubines over wives, how can the wives of the soldiers in the army stay at home and take care of their husbands and children in the future?"

The Queen Mother's words were well-reasoned and even Lu Chenshuang couldn't help but applaud her.

This is the epitome of a mother ruling the country.

The emperor and the eldest princess were also stunned when they heard it.

When did their mother become so independent-minded? Could it be that her previous weakness and incompetence were all pretend?

But think about it, although they have been the ones protecting their mother since they grew up, they did not see the throne change when they were young.

The Queen Mother noticed that the Emperor was looking at her strangely and said, "You don't have to look at me like that.

I know what you are thinking. You just think that I was weak in the past.

But if I were not weak, how could I inspire your fighting spirit?

Especially you, the emperor, have aspired to be a free and easy prince since you were young.

I really hate you for not being able to make the best of your life. Only when my position in the harem is in jeopardy can you work hard and secure your position as crown prince."

emperor:......

The emperor was shocked. Did he hear something so extraordinary? His mother had been trying to trick him for so many years.

The emperor said unconvincedly: "Mother, even if I am useless, I still have my ninth brother. He has been very strong since he was a child."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor as if he were an idiot and continued, "It is because he is too strong that I cannot control him.

He has been stubborn since he was young, and once he makes up his mind, nothing can change his mind.

He doesn't like being bound by the rules of the palace. If I force him to be emperor, I'm afraid he will just quit and leave."

emperor:......

The Queen Mother's words were really heartbreaking. What she meant was that even though she couldn't control Mu Hansu, she could control him.

But come to think of it, although he has a quirky personality, he is not a cold-hearted person.

After the emperor figured it out, he sighed deeply. The longest journey he had ever taken in his life was probably his mother's tricks.

Seeing that the emperor was speechless after hearing the words of the empress dowager, Lu Chenshuang couldn't help but want to laugh.

But she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor. Didn't she see that the eldest princess and the queen were both looking up to the sky and looking down at the ground?

She is now just a powerless divorced woman. What qualifications does she have to laugh at the emperor?

When Lu Chenshuang could no longer bear it, Mu Hansu said, "Mother, can you see now?"

With just one sentence, everyone's attention was diverted. The Queen Mother nodded happily and said, "I can see now. I think your eyesight is better now than when you were young.

Come, Laojiu, come to me."

Upon hearing this, Mu Hansu took two steps forward and walked in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took Mu Hansu's hand and said, "My mother's eyesight is better now, so it's time to put your marriage on the agenda.

I will ask the painters in the palace to send all the portraits of unmarried noble ladies from aristocratic families to the palace.

I and the Queen will help you choose first, and if there is a suitable one, you can meet him."

Mu Hansu:......

The emperor saw Mu Hansu's unwilling expression and thought about how he had just lost face in front of them, so he added fuel to the fire and said, "Yes, yes, what the queen mother said is right, Old Nine, you are already an adult, don't always worry me and the queen mother.

I hope you can get married soon, and your mother can have a grandson soon."

Upon hearing this, Mu Hansu glanced at the emperor and said, "Brother, there are so many concubines in your harem, aren't they enough for mother to hold her grandchildren?"

The emperor looked at the queen with a guilty look on his face. He and the queen grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

After he ascended the throne, he made her the queen, but later on, in order to stabilize the government, he took concubines on the left and right into the harem.

It is unknown when the Queen gradually became alienated from him and the love between them was no longer as strong as before.

When the queen saw the emperor looking at her, she just turned her face away with a sad look.

The Queen Mother saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she wanted to ease it, so she asked again: "When you came back before, your mother couldn't see you.

This time when I came back, I went to my mother's Shoukang Palace quite frequently."

When the Queen Mother said this, the Emperor and the Princess agreed.

In the past, Mu Hansu’s return to Kyoto was rarely seen, but now he can go to the palace every few days.

Mu Hansu hummed calmly and said, "I'm going to the palace to take care of some things today."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor said, "Ninth brother did come to the palace to handle some matters today.

It’s all because of Jing Zhaoyan. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. He just refuses to divorce Lu Chenshuang.

He knelt at the palace gate for three days in a row, and no matter how I tried to persuade him, he just wouldn't budge.

I have no choice but to call my ninth brother into the palace."

The empress dowager was stunned when she heard this. She had been resting in Shoukang Palace these days and had no idea about what happened in the previous dynasty.

How dare Jing Zhaoyan disobey the imperial order?

So the Queen Mother snorted coldly: "It's too late to pretend to be affectionate now, then you can call Lao Jiu, can he do anything?"

The emperor chuckled and said, "He is a soldier under Lao Jiu. It was Lao Jiu who asked me to issue the imperial decree for the divorce. If he doesn't handle it, who will?"

The Queen Mother heard this and asked again, "Is it settled now?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Of course it will be taken care of. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished when Ninth Brother takes action."

The Queen Mother was about to nod when she heard the Emperor speak again: "My ninth brother had him beaten with sixty military sticks, saying that he disrespected military discipline.

He also said that if he made trouble again, he would kill his mistress named An Ran as a sacrifice.

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhaoyan confessed his guilt on the spot.

I have to say that he is such a jerk. He refused to listen to my kind words and insisted on using punishment."

After hearing the emperor's words, Lu Chenshuang glanced at Mu Hansu. He was indeed the Grand Marshal, the God of War of the Dalin Kingdom. He was really decisive in handling things.
