After Empress Dowager Zhang said something heartbroken, Liu Jian and others were already filled with tears in their eyes, trembling without saying a word.

At this time, someone hurried to the cabinet door. It was Zhu Houzhao who had received the news. When Zhu Houzhao saw this, his face changed. He just looked outside and he didn't dare to come in.

Empress Dowager Zhang only looked at the door and said angrily: "Emperor, come."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she shivered and hurriedly came in carefully.

Zhu Houzhao was about to laugh and asked for a few words, but when she saw Empress Dowager Zhang sitting high, her eyebrows were raised, and she said sternly: "Kneel down."

Zhu Houzhao was frightened, her face was as pale as paper, and she hurriedly knelt at the feet of Queen Mother Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang pointed at Zhu Houzhao and said coldly: "And you, the Ai family gave birth to you and raised you, and they were pregnant for ten months. How do you dote on you? Are you heartbroken? You open your eyes wide. This is your uncle. He is here, right here, look, look."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and dared not let out his anger. He had never seen his mother's queen's anger soared into the sky. He felt a little trembling in his heart.

"Ha... the wings are hard now, right? The late emperor is gone. You are the emperor and the assistant ministers. The Ai family usually stays in Renshou Palace and stays in a closed door. You don't know whether it's at least. The Ai family only asks you one question, is this person... still saved?"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "Save, save, mother, my son didn't say he wouldn't save..."

However, Empress Dowager Zhang said to him sternly: "Stop talking and let them say, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Jiao Fang, you come to express your opinion in front of the Ai family, do you want to save them or not, make your words clear, the Ai family is too lazy to be polite to you today, if you don't say it clearly, the Ai family is gone, and the Ai family is not doing well, you can't think of a good life."

It's all for this, what else can I say?

Liu Jian choked and said, "The old minister died..."

"Don't say anything about death!"

"Save." Liu Jian made a quick decision.

Empress Dowager Zhang's phoenix eyes fell on Li Dongyang: "Where are you, Li Dongyang, you also express your opinion. Aren't you very smart on weekdays? You said."

Li Dongyang did not hesitate: "Save."

Empress Dowager Zhang then turned her eyes on Xie Qian.

Xie Qian lost his temper at this time. He dared not say that state affairs were the most important. He went to analyze the traitors for the Empress Dowager what kind of tricks he was. He just said helplessly: "Save."

Empress Dowager Zhang withdrew his gaze and left Jiao Fang alone. This is actually easy to understand. Jiao Fang is a new Grand Secretary. Empress Dowager Zhang didn't take him seriously. She said coldly: "Since everyone has made the words clearly, the Ai family will say the last sentence. These words are all said by you. If you want to save them, you should be more concerned. The ugly words are ahead. Marquis Shouning is dead. People here today, except for the emperor, will not die well!"

Empress Dowager Zhang dropped this sentence and moved her steps. Her eyes touched the broken finger. Tears fell out again. She finally gritted her teeth and brushed her sleeves away.

As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang left, the monarchs and ministers in the cabinet looked at each other. Zhu Houzhao stood up, and the ministers still knelt down, all looking at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly. Her mother was obviously very depressed with such a big temper.

He shook his head, his eyes fell on his broken finger, frowned and said, "Is this Shouning Hou's broken finger?"

Liu Jian looked tired and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you haven't confirmed it yet, but... it's very likely."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "It turns out that this is the case when the finger is broken, dry, and there is no blood at all."

The faces of several cabinet masters suddenly collapsed.

Zhu Houzhao also knew that he had made a mistake, so he had to cheer up and said, "You have heard of the reprimand of the mother. Now that the mother is angry, I don't need to say what to do. The mother said well, Shouning Hou is my uncle anyway, and now I don't know what he has been tortured by those thieves. Alas... I remembered it, and I can't help but worry about him. Okay, from now on, the first priority of the cabinet is to save people, and other things can be left out. Don't show the determination of the court again. Tomorrow, let some of the bandits from the White Lotus Sect go back, and the rest of the others will be held for the time being. Those who have been released will ask them to bring their messages. They say that as long as Shouning Hou is released, everything can be discussed..."

Zhu Houzhao said something randomly, but she thought it was meaningless. After all, no one listened to the strategy he had formulated, so she returned to the palace.

The four pavilions stood up one after another, Xie Qian couldn't help but ask Liu Jian, "Mr. Liu, next..."

Liu Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Save people!"

Xie Qian took a breath and saved people... In other words, from now on, everything is aimed at saving people, and he may even make endless compromises with those sects. As for the face of the court, or whether these sects can be wiped out in the future, this is a secondary matter.

Xie Qian felt that it was very inappropriate. The imperial court was led by a group of sect bandits. After careful consideration, it was uneasy. But what could I do? The emperor could contradict him, but Empress Dowager Zhang could hardly show up. Who dared not give this face? She... Xie Qian's complicated thoughts ultimately meant not only the emperor's mother, but also the late emperor.

Thinking of the late emperor, Liu Jin, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, all of them were sad. The kindness of knowing the encounter and the feelings of the king and the subjects all came to my mind and were vivid in my mind. Unfortunately, these have only become memories, just like yesterday's yellow flowers, leaving only widows and a foolish only son, and a sigh.

Then... just save it. No matter what sacrifice you make, the court's face will be put aside first. It is important to save people.

……………………………………………………………………

I have been living in the temple for a few days, and the alchemy furnace has been delivered, which is as high as one person. This is what Ye Chunqiu specifically requested. Since it is practicing elixirs, of course we can't make small fuss.

Ye Chunqiu didn't know much about things outside. Although he is the "Immortal Lord" now, the only thing he can do is to stay here and watch the Supreme Old Mother. This woman is his current amulet. Of course, he would not expect that because he is the Immortal Lord, he has the ability to control this group of "disrupting parties". The White Lotus Sect has its own organization. Originally, the Supreme Old Mother was pushed out, but it was just a tool to seduce people's hearts. The real internal organization is still the so-called altar masters and incense masters.

Since that's the case, I'll just hold on to this acre of three-point land. The most important thing now is how to get rid of these evildoers.

Well, there seems to be no way out for the time being. The situation seems to be in a deadlock. Ye Chunqiu changed into a clean-washed Confucian shirt, which was very comfortable and transparent. He no longer had to be naked, nor had to wear a Taoist robe sent by the maid, which seemed inappropriate.
