Chapter 370 Ninggu Pagoda 1
Chapter 370 Ninggu Pagoda (1)
The village was peaceful, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with them. Everyone went to work at sunrise and rest as usual, looking at the lights of every house, listening to the laughter of parents, the crying of children, and the humming of the elderly.
Chuxue seemed to understand why her husband liked to wander around the village.
At this moment, Mei Shijiu was almost at Ninggu Pagoda.
No one who was sent to Ninggu Pagoda came out, and almost no one came to see it, so the people guarding the tower were quite surprised when they saw the emperor looking at Mei Shijiu.
The Queen Mother was surprised when she saw Mei Shijiu.
After only a few days, the Queen Mother has become noticeably thinner, less energetic, and has a full head of hair.
With sunken eyes and colorless cheeks, sitting quietly in the empty cell, looking at it makes people feel emotional.
"The Ai family didn't know it at the time, but in the past few days, I have figured out how he could betray me. He has lived almost all his life for my son, and in the end he dragged the Feng family into it. How guilty and painful he must be.
…You know everything, right?”
Perhaps this secret has been buried in my heart for too long, so when I met Mei Shijiu, an insider, I couldn't help but tell it, or talk about it.
Mei Shijiu listened quietly. He knew that no one would be eavesdropping outside because this was Ninggu Pagoda!
Mei Shijiu didn't bother him. He didn't speak softly until the other party stopped, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Shi Jiu kept his promise. Since he burned the cauldron in public that day, he won't tell others, such as... Your Majesty, there is no airtight wall in the world.
If people don’t know, unless they do nothing themselves, it is impossible for Shi Jiu to know. Queen Mother, Shi Jiu was ordered to come here today because she wants to ask the Queen Mother something, which is related to the life and death of the Great Yuan."
For the people guarding the tower, no matter what their status was when they were alive, they are all living dead when they get here.
Each of the three families has its own territory, and they are all powerful and capable families. To a certain extent, they can even have a certain influence on the court, especially the Yue family and the Jin family.
The Yue family has disciples all over the world, and the scholarly reputation is passed down from generation to generation. The Jin family has an eight-treasure pagoda, and there are legendary history books, and it is said that it can conquer the world. The Lu family has countless money, and although there are no high-ranking officials in the court, it is far ahead in the technology of refining salt and iron.
.
"What? Boluo Kingdom? Defeat six cities in a row!"
Queen Mother Wen raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it because of this?"
Emperor Xuan should have told him, otherwise he would have taken it away when he entered the tower.
After all, she is the Queen Mother. She has been involved in government affairs for so many years. She not only knows calculations, but also knows some big things. Although she doesn't want to help the son who imprisoned her here, she is not willing to be tricked by others.
Is it about the life and death of the Great Yuan?
Mei Shijiu knew that the Queen Mother was talking about Master Feng.
This time the Queen Mother was a little unable to react.
This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Xuan learned that there was a problem with the medicinal materials he purchased, so he temporarily interrogated Lu Panda secretly and did not punish the Lu family. However, if the Lu family's problems are serious in the future, they may not be able to escape.
Leaving now?
"Queen Mother, this is not why Shijiu came here."
"The Yue family, the Jin family, the Lu family..." These three families are well-known families in the Yuan Dynasty.
"Stop! Your Majesty asked you to do an errand, but you are so perfunctory. After all, you are young."
"The Ai family doesn't know much about that old lady, but when you mentioned the Baltic Kingdom just now, the Ai family knows that she has a close relationship with the Baltic Kingdom. Everything about the Ai family and her is through a man named Hua Bo.
Ai Jia was careful and had people check him out. He was very cautious and followed him for a long time before finding out some clues. He was from the Baltic Kingdom and had been in close contact with some caravans who had passed through the Baltic Kingdom.
, After all, the Ai family is in the harem, and most of the matters that need to be dealt with outside the palace are left to..." At this point, Queen Mother Wen paused.
He couldn't help but smile, straightened his sleeves and said: "The Ai family are all here, it shows that the Holy One is still capable. He can't even clean up the entire court, but he also wants to ask those who are from the Ai family."
?Afraid of fish slipping through the net? There is no need to do so. How many of the people in the court are loyal? Most of them are just grass on the wall and fall with the wind. What is there to be afraid of? If you have to cut the grass and root it out, it may not be good. It will make the civil and military officials of the court full.
How can he, the Holy One, live peacefully even if everything is like a soldier?"
The Queen Mother adjusted her mood and continued: "However, Concubine Yu's dowry was too eye-catching, so the Ai family did not let him handle it for fear of what might happen. The Ai family went to Uncle Hua and wanted to use him to create a matchmaking relationship, but the Ai family did not say anything clearly at the time.
What they wanted to sell, they just asked him to help see if they could introduce a big customer. At that time, the Ai family also asked Qilu to go to Boluo country to find out the truth. They did not listen to Hua Bo's side of the story. The Ai family felt relieved after Qi Lu personally confirmed it.
Yes, the other party has indeed never defaulted on the payment for the goods. Every time, they accept the order in full, handing over the money and delivering the goods. Now that I think about it, the Ai family is still on the right track!"
Mei Shijiu was not in a hurry, his face was as calm as when he came, making it difficult for people to understand his thoughts, "Shi Jiu was just ordered to run an errand. If the Queen Mother doesn't want to say anything, Shi Jiu cannot force others to make things difficult for her, so she will leave at that time."
Empress Dowager Wen knew that Mei Shijiu was able to enter Ninggu Pagoda because of the emperor's orders, but she could not guess what the emperor wanted to ask specifically for him to come here.
The Queen Mother was in a trance for a while, and then sneered, "If the Aijia knows, why do I have to tell you that the Aijia is a dying man, and this Dayuan has nothing to do with me, so I will fight him."
"Yes, so if the Queen Mother knows anything, she hopes to tell the truth."
The Queen Mother took a step back in shock, sighed for a long time, and took off a jade safety buckle from her neck. It was obvious that it was worn close to her body all year round.
Obviously, Queen Mother Wen was shocked by this news.
After Mei Shijiu said that, he turned around and left.
"What a beautiful country..."
"Yes, Boluo Kingdom has attacked Dayuan. The battle report received by the Queen Mother when she arrived at Ninggu Pagoda shows that six cities have been conquered. Now, the Holy One suspects that Boluo Kingdom's attack on Dayuan was premeditated.
Dayuan has a lot of arrangements. Today I want to ask the Queen Mother, who was the person who contacted you when you sold Concubine Jade's dowry to Polo, and who sold it to, ordinary people can't eat it, and besides... Do you know about the Jin family?
The true identity of that fake old lady?”
Mei Shijiu obediently stopped and turned around to look, with an expression on his face as he cupped his hands, "The Queen Mother taught you a lesson."
The Queen Mother is a shrewd person, so she knows everything she needs to know.
Queen Mother Wen didn't mind whether Mei Shijiu was listening, and continued to speak in a low voice.
"Queen Mother, the Yue family is behind you, and the Jin family is behind Concubine Yu. Recently, another incident has been discovered. There is a big problem with the medicinal materials purchased by the Ministry of War and the Lu family. Those medicines are either fake or contain poison.
Has the Queen Mother ever thought about what would happen if these medicines were sent to the battlefield?"
"That's all, he thought about the love between mother and son, and allowed the Ai family to take this thing... Mei Shijiu, please give this thing to the Holy One. From now on, the Ai family will not owe him anything. What about Dayuan, Ai
I can’t take care of my family anymore, so you can leave.”
Mei Shijiu stretched out his hand and took it solemnly. He understood the purpose of His Majesty asking him to come. He didn't mention a word, but he figured it all out. His Majesty was still awesome.
It is said that the legitimate daughter of the Yue family will be given a peace buckle when she gets married, which means that she can use the peace buckle to ask for something from her mother's family at any time.
The Holy One was afraid that something might happen to his family, so the Queen Mother gave him this safety buckle!
