The next day, Hu Shan Xiang and Zhu Qiyu were sent out of the palace.
Zhu Qiyu was still young and did not know what had happened. He ran outside the palace excitedly.
He had lived in the palace like a bird in a cage since he was young, never seeing the sun.
"I can finally go out and play!"
Seeing Zhu Qiyu's innocent appearance, Hu Shan Xiang became even angrier.
Before the age of eight, Qi Yu was no better than Qi Zhen.
However, at the age of nine, why was the difference between the two children so obvious?
Was it because Zhu Qizhen was the true dragon and son of heaven?
The more Hu Shan Xiang thought about it, the more indignant he became. The more he hated Zhu Qiyu for failing to live up to his expectations, the angrier he felt when he thought of this.
She raised her hand and slapped her disappointing child's face.
Zhu Qiyu had an innocent look on his face as he cried.
She bared her fangs and brandished her claws at Zhu Qiyu and scolded,"He doesn't want you to stay in the palace because he's afraid that you will pose a threat to his throne in the future. What's there to be happy about? How did I give birth to such a stupid son like you!!!”
Zhu Qiyu cried even harder after being reprimanded.
He had been gifted and intelligent since he was young, and his mother loved him very much. However, these two days, his mother had suddenly become more and more strict with him, making him feel extremely afraid.
Sun Ruowei heard that Hu Shan Xiang and Zhu Qiyu were going to be sent out of the palace, so she came to see them off. When she arrived, she saw Hu Shan Xiang beating the children.
She quickly went up to stop Hu Shan Xiang and said,"Sister, if you're angry, just take it out on me. Don't take it out on the child. He's still young.”
Hu Shanxiang angrily pushed Sun Ruowei away and said,""How is he small? Your son is also nine years old and has already begun to take charge of the government. This disappointing thing, I must beat him to death today.”
"Enough! My son turned into a true dragon and sent King Hun out of the palace. I know you feel indignant. As a mother, I understand your feelings. I heard that Duogan is desolate and cold, so I specially got someone to prepare a few fur coats. You and Qi Yu must take care of yourself during this long journey. The frontier is not like the palace, so you must be more careful.”
Empress Dowager Sun's personal maid, Shuang Xi, quickly handed the fur coat to Hu Shan Xiang.
Hu Shan Xiang knocked the fur coat to the ground and said angrily,"There's no need for you to pretend here. My good sister, it's my sister who lost. Sister lost badly. Back then, for Qi Yu, I should have fought to the death with you.”
The two sisters were at daggers drawn outside the palace gate, giving the surrounding servants a fright.
Sun Ruowei was stunned on the spot. She could only watch from afar as Hu Shan Xiang turned around and pulled Zhu Qiyu's hand into the carriage, heading towards the desolate Duogan Dusi.
This trip, whether they lived or died, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it all depended on whether Hu Shan Xiang and Zhu Qiyu's lives were tough enough.
Shuang Xi picked up the fur coat on the ground and said angrily,"Empress Dowager, Imperial Consort really doesn't know how to appreciate favors. You treat her so well, but she doesn't remember your kindness. No wonder the emperor wants to send her out of the palace. A woman like her, once she gains power, who knows how she will deal with the Empress.”
Sun Ruowei laughed lightly and said,"The Imperial Concubine is too focused on winning and losing, so she loses to me in every aspect." Now that they had left the Imperial Palace, how could the delicate bodies of the mother and son bear the pain of being homeless? Let's go back to Cining Palace."
Hearing Empress Dowager Sun's words, Shuang Xi felt a chill in her heart.
As expected of the royal family, their schemes were unfathomable, making them, the servants, tremble at the side.
Shuang Xi said,"Empress Dowager, just now the Empress Dowager sent someone to summon you to Chuxiu Palace."”
"Then let's go to Chuxiu Palace to see the Empress Dowager. It's probably because of the matter of the country's brother-in-law.”
……
Chuxiu Palace.
Sun Ruowei came to greet the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan with double happiness.
"ChenQie pays her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager."
"Why did your son capture the country's great uncle? What mistake did he make? Didn't he just kill a few Wala people? How could he have the heart to put his own brother-in-law in the imperial prison?”
Sun Ruowei replied calmly,"In response to the Empress Dowager, this is a matter of the court. Our harem can't interfere."”
"Don't try to scare an old woman like me. You've always been the one managing the government. What does that little brat know about good and bad? It was you who sent my brother to the imperial prison, right? I know that you have always been biased against my brother. However, he had been managing the border trade market all these years. Even if he did not have any credit, he had worked hard, right? How can you…just lock him up in the Imperial Jail?”
"Grand Empress Dowager, you have to ask your grandson personally. He is now the Son of Heaven. You have to ask him about the matter of imprisoning the country's uncle.”
"He's your son. He has to listen to you!!!”
"He's not listening to me now. Why don't you personally summon him and ask him?" Sun Ruowei shrugged.”
"Call Qi Zhen over!"
The Grand Empress Dowager had issued a decree and the servants did not dare to delay. They immediately went to Yangxin Hall to summon Zhu Qizhen.
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was reviewing memorials in Yangxin Palace Hall. Regarding the Supreme Court's trial of the country's brother-in-law's case, he did not hesitate to choose to behead him in public according to the law.
He would never allow this kind of imperial relative who treated human lives with complete disregard to appear. It was simply throwing the face of the Ming Imperial Family.
Zhu Qizhen would not tolerate this matter!
He exchanged some of the remaining prestige points in the system for a random draw of famous officials and generals, spending 500 prestige points.
After the random draw, Zhu Qizhen had another virtuous minister-Wang Anshi.
It just so happened that the positions of the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue were still vacant, so he immediately let Wang Anshi take over the position of the Minister of Revenue.
"Wang Anshi, from now on, you are my Minister of Revenue. Do whatever you want, and I will be your backing.”
Wang Anshi was excited. He knelt in Yangxin Hall and thanked him."This lowly subject receives the decree to thank you."
After Wang Anshi left, the young eunuch Wang Zhen hurriedly came in to report,"Reporting to the emperor, the empress dowager has summoned you and wants you to go to Chuxiu Palace immediately.”
Zhu Qizhen raised his eyes and frowned. I am dealing with official matters and have no time.”
"But the Grand Empress Dowager said that she must see you today, or else she will starve herself.”
"Then let her starve. I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and will not be threatened by anyone. Pass on my oral order. If the Empress Dowager has something important to discuss with me, she will come to see me in person.”
Wang Zhen was dumbfounded as he stared at Zhu Qizhen with his mouth agape.
How could he have the guts to give such a verbal order? If this reached the ears of the Empress Dowager, wouldn't he be furious?
Since ancient times, when had the Grand Empress Dowager come to personally pay respects to the Emperor?
This... wasn't appropriate?
