When Bao Zheng brought Leng Gudu into the palace to meet the emperor.
Grand Preceptor Residence!
In the large hall, there were more than ten people sitting.
"What you have to do today is to persuade Wansui to pardon Concubine Pang!”
Senior Grand Tutor Pang said in a deep voice.
"Yes, teacher!"
The people sitting in the hall responded respectfully in unison.
"Teacher, haven't you already convinced Prime Minister Wang, the Eight Virtuous Kings, and the others? With them interceding, would there still be a problem?”
An official sitting on the right asked in confusion.
The haggard Senior Grand Tutor Pang smiled bitterly.
"All of you are my disciples, and this old man regards all of you as my trusted aides. In front of all of you, this old man will not hide anything.
Although Prime Minister Wang and the others would step forward, they were all experts at making peace and couldn't put in any effort.
Therefore, you must strike first and remonstrate with Wansui to force them to take sides.
Only in this way could he be certain that the imperial concubine would be pardoned!”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Grand Preceptor Pang continued," Everyone knows that Wansui dotes on Concubine Pang the most. He only banished her to the Cold Palace because my unfilial son has caused too much trouble and angered His Majesty.
Although we are forcing Wansui to pardon Concubine Pang this time, with Concubine Pang's ability, she will easily be favored again!
Once Concubine Pang is pregnant with the dragon seed and gives birth to a prince, the mother will be favored by the son. Your efforts today will definitely be remembered by Concubine Pang. In the future, you will repay her and have a better future!”
"Yes, teacher!"
Everyone responded respectfully in unison.
……
"Long live, although the matters of the harem are the family matters of the royal family, the emperor has no private matters. How can a dignified concubine be punished so easily?”
"His Majesty has been in power for more than ten years. He has already married, but he has no children. Any concubine is responsible for the inheritance of the royal family.”
"Concubine Pang is the daughter of the Grand Preceptor and comes from a prestigious family. She has lost her sense of propriety because she is concerned about her brother. This shows that Concubine Pang values relationships and righteousness. There is no reason for her to be banished to the Cold Palace because of this!”
In the royal study, more than ten officials knelt down and spoke angrily.
Zhao Zhen just sat behind the desk and watched quietly.
Prime Minister Wang, the Eight Virtuous Kings, and the others were dumbfounded.
They really just wanted to smooth things over.
However, these officials who had come with them were so radical. It was obvious that they wanted to drag them down with them.
After all, they had already agreed to come and plead for mercy.
Faced with such a situation, as long as they interceded, they would be on the side of these officials.
It also meant that he agreed with their words.
However, they were all things that they knew very well. No one could bring themselves to go back on their words and no longer explain things to Concubine Pang.
"Please pardon Concubine Pang. Otherwise, for the sake of longevity and the inheritance of the royal family, we will kneel and die here!”
"May the Holy Judgment be held!"
After more than ten officials spoke fiercely, they finally had a final statement.
As one person spoke, the others also spoke in a low voice.
They had all prostrated themselves in front of Zhao Zhen.
"It seems that Zhen was really too merciful in the past. Otherwise, why would he force the abdication today?”
Zhao Zhen finally spoke.
Although his words were calm, it made everyone's hearts thump.
Especially those with a keen sense of smell, their expressions changed slightly.
One had to know that it was not a small matter for the Emperor to say the word 'abstinence'.
"Concubine Pang was banished to the Cold Palace by Zhen. Her rudeness was secondary, but the more important reason was her interference in politics.
Harem interference in government affairs, has been committed to not pardon.
You are the students of the Grand Preceptor, and now you are forcing the abdication because of this matter. There are already signs of the imperial relatives monopolizing power.”
The following words made everyone present pale.
Senior Grand Tutor Pang and the officials kneeling on the ground were trembling in fear.
The words 'abdicate' already had a terrifying meaning.
The power of the consorts was even more terrifying.
What frightened them the most was that Wansui was enraged and had a power that he had never had before.
Not only did it make their hearts tremble, but they also felt an irresistible crushing force!
" Long live, please calm down. This old minister…How dare…"
Grand Preceptor Pang woke up instantly and trembled in shock.
"Shut up!"
However, he was stopped by Zhao Zhen.
"Yesterday, you were already deceiving the emperor by making excuses for Pang Yu. I thought you were old and about to lose your only son, so I didn't pursue the matter. However, you didn't repent and became even worse! If I spare you today, how can I be worthy of being this person's monarch?”
"No…this old minister has a death-exemption medallion, long live…this old minister cannot be killed!”
Grand Preceptor Pang was scared out of his wits, and the Emperor had forced him to abdicate and monopolize power.
How would he dare to have any other thoughts?
Now, he only cared about protecting his life, trembling in fear.
"Since you have the death-exemption medallion, I won't kill you this time. I will strip you of your title, confiscate your wealth, and demote you to a commoner!”
In the original play, Grand Preceptor Pang relied on Concubine Pang to be favored by Renzong and acted unscrupulously.
He was always causing trouble and going against Bao Zheng.
This caused the case that could have been completed quickly to be delayed.
The current Bao Zheng could help Zhao Zhen continuously obtain deterrence points.
How could he give him another chance to stir up trouble?
It was a pity that he finally had a death-exemption medallion in his hand, which gave him a chance to avoid death.
Even if this was his predecessor's fault, since he had replaced Ren Zong, he had no choice but to take it.
Otherwise, Zhao Zhenzhen would have killed him directly.
After saying that coldly, his sharp gaze landed on the kneeling officials.
Even though they were all prostrating on the ground and trembling.
He also felt Zhao Zhen's gaze, and he trembled even more.
It made the others who were standing tremble in fear.
Everyone could feel that the current Emperor was completely different from the past.
Not to mention that fierce aura.
Just that cold gaze alone showed his decisiveness to kill, and there was also a hint of decisiveness and dominance.
The former emperor, even when he was in a rage, could not have such a reaction!
