The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Recently, the weather in Daye has been good, and the people have been living and working in peace and contentment. Nothing major has happened in Chang'an City either, and everything is going smoothly, so the morning court always ends quite early.

But the atmosphere in Hanyuan Hall was very bad this morning.

Zhang Xiang and General Qi were the head of the civil officials and the head of the military generals, respectively. One stood in the first row on the left and the other stood in the first row on the right. They looked at each other, both wishing to kill the other.

Qi Yejing sat down, and as soon as the morning court was about to begin, Prime Minister Zhang immediately stood up and reported General Qi.

Although he was said to be assisting General Qi, he was actually targeting Concubine Qi.

"Yesterday, Concubine Qi rushed to Fengyi Palace with a sword and injured the Queen. I beg the Emperor to order severe punishment of Concubine Qi to set things right."

"And seek justice for the Queen."

"Bullshit! It's obvious that the Queen saw that Concubine Qi had fought on the battlefield with the Emperor when she was young and that they had a deep relationship. She was afraid that Concubine Qi would be favored and give birth to a prince, which would affect her status, so she used Yun Fulan's cup of poisoned tea to poison Concubine Qi."

"Then he took the opportunity of sending her tonic medicine to further increase the toxins in her body."

"I was also worried that Concubine Qi would find out that she was poisoned and would suspect me, so I poisoned Concubine Qi."

"How can such a vicious woman be worthy of being the queen of Daye?"

"I beg the emperor to depose the queen, punish her severely, and seek justice for Concubine Qi."

Zhang Xiang filed a complaint, but General Qi was not someone to be trifled with. His daughter was harmed so badly by the Queen that she would not live for more than ten years. If he had been there at the time, he would have cut the Queen into pieces to relieve his hatred.

Zhang Xiang wiped the saliva off his face and looked cold.

"General Qi only said one side of the story. Is there any evidence to prove that the Queen did it?"

"The matter is already so obvious, do you still need evidence?"

"General Qi said this, but there is no evidence."

"Since there is no evidence, then you just made up lies and deliberately slandered the queen."

"Slandering the queen is a serious crime!"

"Beating you with a hundred military sticks would be too light a punishment."

"Mr. Zhang, say it again, do you believe I will beat you to death?"

The Queen killed his daughter, but Prime Minister Zhang not only did not feel ashamed, he also slandered his daughter. How could General Qi tolerate this?

He immediately took off his shoes and threw them at Zhang Xiang.

The distance between them was not far, and General Qi was an expert in archery, so how could he miss?

Zhang Xiang's face was instantly swollen and he even started bleeding from his nose.

He reached out and wiped it, and his anger instantly rose.

"Reckless man!"

"Qi, you are a reckless man."

"What's wrong with being a reckless man? At least he's better than a wicked, vicious guy like you, right?"

"It's no wonder the queen can't have children after doing such a sinister thing."

"And your Zhang family will be extinct sooner or later if you raise a daughter like this."

"Ahhh, Qi, I'm going to fight you!"

Zhang Xiang roared and rushed towards General Qi, but was stopped by Dong Ling and his men.

Qi Yejing's gaze slowly fell on him, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile.

"Such an incident did happen in the harem yesterday, but I ordered a blockade of the news at the time. How did Prime Minister Zhang know about it?"

"Could it be that you have planted spies in the palace, and as soon as the incident happened, someone sent you a letter asking you to help the queen seek justice?"

Qi Yejing's tone was very relaxed, but every word he said was precious.

Zhang Xiang immediately knelt down and banged his head loudly.

General Qi watched coldly and just wanted to sneer.

"Prime Minister Zhang, the emperor is asking you a question, why don't you answer?"

"Could it be that what the emperor said was right? You really have a spy in the harem?"

"Oh my god, you are spying on the emperor!"

"Do you know what crime is guilty of spying on the emperor?"

"That means the whole family will be executed."

"The whole family will be executed!"

What Zhang Xiang had just said was sent back to General Qi intactly.

But how can a hundred military sticks compare to the execution of an entire family?

Prime Minister Zhang almost hated General Qi to death.

But Qi Yejing caught him and he dared not say a word.

If you don't handle it well, your entire family will be executed.

Better to die than live.

There is hope only if you are alive.

Seeing that Zhang Xiang refused to speak, Qi Yejing spoke slowly.

"Okay, let's put aside your spying on the emperor for now. Let's first talk about Concubine Qi slashing the queen and the queen poisoning Concubine Qi."

"General Qi, do you think what Concubine Qi did was excessive?"

“Not at all.”

General Qi burst into tears.

"My son came back and told me that Concubine Qi has less than ten years to live."

"She is so young, not even 20 years old, and yet she has been harmed like this by the Queen. If I were her, I would have killed the Queen right away. How could I have spared her life?"

The corners of the mouths of civil officials and military generals twitched.

This General Qi is really straightforward. He even called the queen a dog.

However, if this is true, then the queen is indeed worse than pigs and dogs.

Describing her life as a dog's life is a bit insulting to dogs.

"General Qi, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence."

"I believe in my children. They will never lie."

"I'm going to make this clear today. If this isn't true, I'll kneel all the way from Xuanwu Gate to Fengyi Palace."

"no sooner said than done?"

"a man of his words."

Seeing Zhang Xiang walking step by step into General Qi's trap, Qi Yejing didn't know what to say.

Never mind. The Zhang family has been prosperous for five years. It’s time for someone else to take over.

He raised his hand slightly, and Dong Ling took out a thick stack of papers from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Xiang looked confused.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"The queen had planted a spy in the late Concubine Wende's palace. Her name was Mingqiu. After Concubine Wende passed away, she went to Furong Pavilion to serve Concubine Jiang."

"It is above..."

"What she has done for the Queen over the years."

"Everything is clearly written down, one by one."

"There is plenty of time. Please read carefully, word by word. Don't blink, and don't miss a single word."

There was no need to look, as soon as Zhang Xiang heard the name Mingqiu, his body went limp.

because,……

He bought Mingxia and Mingqiu from a matchmaker, trained them for several months, and then sent them to the queen.

The queen did these things without hiding them from him.

After all, he still has to use his connections to clean up the mess for the Queen.

He thought these things would never be discovered in his lifetime, but who would have thought that after just a few years, the truth would be revealed.

Seeing Zhang Xiang like this, General Qi immediately snatched the thing away, quickly looked through it, and then passed it around.

Everyone saw the crime and became angry.

"It turns out that when Concubine Yi fell from the high platform, it was not Concubine Wende who sent someone to push her, but the Queen asked Mingqiu to push her secretly."

"If Madam An hadn't asked for a peace charm for Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi would have died."

"How cruel the queen is!"

"How can such a person be worthy of being the queen of Daye?"

"Where did this happen?"

"Not only did the Queen send someone to push the pregnant Concubine Yi off the high platform, she also had Zhang Liangdi release poisonous snakes in the Imperial Garden, nearly killing Zhou Shunyi and causing Concubine Yi to give birth prematurely."

"She also instigated Concubine Shu to deal with Concubine Yi, instructed Concubine Jiang to trick Concubine Hui into drowning by the lake, and brutally murdered Qi Xiurong and Liu Fangyi."

"Even..."

"He has been in contact with Prince Rong and wants to join forces to kill the emperor."

"King Rong?"

As soon as these two words came out, Zhang Xiang's face turned pale instantly.

"No, it's impossible. The Queen has deep feelings for the Emperor. How could she team up with Prince Rong to try to kill the Emperor?"

"This is impossible."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"Someone must have deliberately framed the queen."

"I hope Your Majesty will look into this matter carefully and give the Empress some justice."

Qi Yejing's eyes darkened instantly.

"The evidence is already conclusive, and the Queen has confessed. Will Prime Minister Zhang continue to deny it?"

Zhang Xiang's last straw was taken away, and he became depressed.

Qi Yejing snorted coldly.

"Dong Ling, pass down the decree. The queen has poisoned concubines and committed countless evil deeds. From today on, she will be deposed and demoted to a useless person. She will be moved to Lengyue Palace and executed immediately after she gives birth to an imperial heir."

"Zhang Xiang is the head of all officials, but he failed to educate his daughter properly and broke the law knowingly. Three days later, he will be beheaded in public at the Caishikou of the West Market."

"Mrs. Zhang, be executed as well."

"All males of the Zhang family who are ten years old or older will be executed. Those who are under ten years old will be exiled to the frontier. Their descendants will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations within three generations."

"All women will be confiscated by the Jiaofangsi and cannot be redeemed."

"Mr. Jiang, I'll give you poisoned wine."

"Ming Xia and Ming Qiu, be beaten to death in public."

"Your Majesty is wise. Long live the Emperor."
