The young emperor looked at the reactions of the four people and wondered what they didn't understand.

His good mother actually reached out to Black Stone City's military pay. What about the military pay in the northwest, southeast, and southwest? The young emperor didn't dare to think about it.

The emperor's face was as sorrowful as if he had lost his parents. In the Golden Palace, there was deathly silence. All the civil and military officials knelt in the same posture. Some were protesting silently, some were following the crowd, and some were doing so out of necessity.

...

In the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Bian's well-maintained plump face had wrinkled into a huge bun. "How dare they?"

The young eunuch, who had returned with the news, was furious. "Empress Dowager, please think of a solution quickly! I heard that all the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace are protesting."

"protest?"

"I'm protesting that not only are your harems involved in government affairs, but you're also embezzling the military pay of the soldiers guarding the border."

"So what? Forget the 30,000 yuan in empty salary. Even the whole world belongs to my son."

After hearing what Queen Mother Bian said, the young eunuch immediately smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. The whole world of the Great Zhou belongs to the Emperor, and the Emperor is extremely filial to you."

"That's right." Queen Mother Bian smiled proudly, as if saying that the whole world belonged to her son and she could take whatever she wanted.

After hearing the guard's message, the old prince slammed his desk in anger. "How can you expect a woman who sells steamed buns to achieve anything?" The old prince became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He was also angry at his nephew for being so blind and inconsiderate that he had so many noble ladies to choose from, but he chose to have mercy on a commoner who sold steamed buns.

He admitted that the man selling steamed buns was good-looking, as he had his share of men's cunning. But he couldn't praise the man selling steamed buns. He was even rounder than his princess's hairdresser, and was so fat that he had no idea how beautiful the man selling steamed buns was.

But his big nephew was crazy about steamed buns, crazy about steamed buns, and would bang his head against the wall for steamed buns.

Ouch! Thinking back on those dark days, even though almost twenty years had passed, he still felt that the past was unbearable.

The guard saw that the old prince looked like he had a toothache and hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Old prince, calm down."

"For the sake of the Li family's ancestors and the dignity of the royal family, let's go. I must go to the Golden Palace to meet the emperor."

"Yes."

In the Golden Palace, the censors spoke eloquently, spit flying everywhere, and the memorials in their hands were dragged to the ground. Every item on them was evidence of Empress Dowager Bian's illegal accumulation of wealth.

The young emperor has gone from being shocked at first to being numb now.

He never imagined that his mother's methods of making money were beyond his understanding.

It was even the first time he realized how shameless his mother could be in order to make money.

And that shameless person with no bottom line was actually his mother.

The young emperor sat on the dragon throne with a look of despair, until a young eunuch outside announced, "The Prince of Chen requests an audience."

"Xuan." The child could finally see his relatives, and Li Hao was about to cry.

"Prince Xuanchen comes to see you."

Prince Chen walked into the Golden Palace with his head held high, his gray beard curled upwards in a unique way.

Seeing the Emperor's great uncle coming, Li Hao also acted willfully and rushed down from the throne without a care in the world. If he hadn't been concerned about their respective identities, Li Hao would have wanted to throw himself into the Emperor's great uncle's arms and cry. He was in such a difficult situation, it was so difficult for him. He wanted to cry so much, what should he do?

Prince Chen did not expect that the emperor would rush over and grab his sleeve like he did when he was a child, looking at him pitifully, as if he was about to cry at any time.

As the head of the Li royal family, Prince Chen was also the most senior member of the royal family. No one dared to get angry in front of him, whether it was the civil and military officials in the court or the Empress Dowager in the harem.

Look, another eunuch from the Cining Palace went to deliver a letter. When Empress Dowager Bian heard that Prince Chen had come to court, her face immediately changed drastically with fear.

"Oh, oh, what should I do?"

The eunuch who had dared to stir up trouble just now was now as tight-lipped as a clam, not daring to utter a single word. No matter who His Royal Highness wanted to punish, the Emperor would not object.

Empress Dowager Bian stood up anxiously from the phoenix chair, patted her chubby face with her chubby hands, and began to work hard to think of a solution.

But it seemed that these things did not exist in her mind. No matter how many times she slapped her chubby cheeks, she could not come up with a good idea.

"What should I do?" Empress Dowager Bian turned around and saw Nanny Qin, and immediately had an idea. "Hurry up and go to Duke Cheng'en's mansion to ask my father and my brother what to do about this matter."

"Yes." After receiving the oral order from Empress Dowager Bian, Nanny Qin did not dare to delay for a moment and wanted to leave the palace to go to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion to ask the master and the eldest uncle for advice.

However, as soon as Nanny Qin reached the gate of the Cining Palace, she found that the gate had been locked from the outside.

Nanny Qin was a favorite of Empress Dowager Bian. When she saw the palace gate was locked from the outside, her face immediately fell.

She was used to being arrogant, and thinking that even the Emperor would give her some respect, she began to bang on the door. "Who's outside? Open the door for me quickly. Don't delay the Empress Dowager's work. If she blames you, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Outside, there was complete silence.

"Hey, you little monkeys are so bold! I've been calling you at the door but you still won't open it. Are you planning a rebellion?"

"Oh my! A maid in the Cining Palace dared to accuse someone of rebellion. If the Empress Dowager were to come out, I wonder what crime she would fabricate for me."

"..." This voice made Nanny Qin feel terrified. You have to know that in the Zhou Dynasty, Queen Mother Bian was only afraid of one person, and that was His Royal Highness Prince Chen.

Qin Ma, a servant, followed her master and was also the most afraid of Prince Chen.

Outside the Cining Palace, the Emperor and Prince Chen stood side by side. The Emperor still refused to let go of his uncle's sleeve, and asked his uncle for advice: "What should I do?"

"Your Majesty, this is actually very easy to handle!"

"Granduncle?"

"We'll do whatever the emperor wants!" Prince Chen didn't want to be a bad guy. No matter how shallow Bian was, she was still the emperor's mother after all.

The words about punishing Bian cannot be said from his mouth, otherwise, if the emperor and Bian have a conflict of mother-son love, he will be a sinner.

"Granduncle Emperor~"

"No matter what the emperor wants to do, the emperor's uncle will always stand on his side."

The emperor was deeply moved by his uncle's words. "My uncle treats me the best."

"If the Imperial Uncle doesn't treat the Emperor well, who else can he treat well?"

"Ah."

"Your Majesty, would you like your uncle to accompany you for a walk in front?"

"need."

The young emperor, like when he was a child, grabbed his great uncle's sleeve and strode forward.

"Oh, oh, Your Majesty, please slow down. The Imperial Uncle is getting old."
