Chapter 1292 Remember Your Duty

Seeing that the emperor could not be persuaded, the empress dowager was also angry.

She looked at Yun Dai and shouted: "Queen, are you going to watch the emperor kill his brother in front of the court?"

Yun Dai was silent for a moment and said: "First there are monarchs and ministers, and then brothers. If King Yi makes a mistake and the emperor punishes him, King Yi, as a minister, should suffer the consequences."

"Queen!" the Queen Mother yelled angrily, "Don't forget your duty!"

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Is the Imperial Grandmother determined to protect King Yi today?"

The Empress Dowager said solemnly: "The Ai family is thinking about you! Even if King Yi makes a small mistake, he is still a prince, and his crime will not lead to death! You have to think about your situation, and you will not be satisfied until everyone betrays you!"

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her for a moment and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world is here for profit. I wonder what benefit the emperor's grandmother is doing this trip today?"

"Yuan Jing, you..."

"Here comes someone." Zhao Yuanjing interrupted her, "Take Prince Yi back to Prince Yi's Mansion and confine him. He is not allowed to go out without orders. Wei Jintai, you are responsible for guarding him."

Xu Hu led the guards in and pulled Zhao Yuanhe out.

Liang Wan knelt on the ground, at a loss.

She crawled to Yun Dai on her knees, crying and praying: "Queen, please allow me to go with the prince, please..."

Yun Dai said: "You are very affectionate towards him. If you want to follow, there is no reason for others to stop you. Go ahead."

"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness."

Liang Wan kowtowed to her, saluted the emperor, got up and followed her out.

The Empress Dowager stood there with a calm face and said: "The Ai family is getting older. A few days ago, you said that the Ai family should not care about anything and just enjoy the happiness in peace. The Ai family agreed and thought about building a room to escape the summer heat. Zhuangzi, I’ll move there when the weather gets hotter after the new year. It’ll be quiet and peaceful too.”

Zhao Yuanjing said: "If the Imperial Grandmother wants to be quiet, there is nothing unclean about her."

"The Ai family mentioned this matter to King Chun, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but King Chun said that the construction of a summer resort was rejected by the emperor." The Empress Dowager looked unhappy, "Emperor, you are saying that you want the Ai family to enjoy happiness. , and now there are constraints everywhere. What are we going to do?"

There was no smile at all in Zhao Yuanjing's eyes.

But he smiled and said, "It turns out that the Imperial Grandmother is here for this. Why should the Imperial Grandmother be anxious? I don't have much money at the moment. After the New Year, I will definitely build you a decent summer resort."

The Queen Mother said: "The Ai family does not insist on being a Zhuangzi, but they just want to advise the emperor not to be too radical in doing things, to be tolerant, and not to push people too hard. As for King Yi, a blind child, why bother with him?" , it’s enough to lock him up in Prince Yi’s Mansion.”

Zhao Yuanjing said nothing.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yun Dai again and said, "As a queen, you should remember your duty. Always admonishing the emperor is the right path."

Yun Dai said sternly: "I have been studying since I was a child, and I also know that it is said in the books of sages that benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust are the masters of heaven and earth. Apart from heaven and earth, the king is the greatest. Although I am a wife, I am also a minister."

"Ai Jia said one thing, but you have ten sentences ready." The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Everyone has said that the Queen of Dazhou is extremely intelligent and eloquent!"

"I am not worthy enough to be the Empress Dowager." Yun Dai said with a smile.

"Queen, you really can't hear nice words. The Ai family is tired. Let's go back and rest. You can take care of yourself." The Queen Mother held the eunuch's hand and left slowly.
