"Emperor, I know that Danyang's affairs are causing you a headache. But I have all given birth to you and Danyang, and Haier is the only bone and blood in Danyang. You said that if you punished Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and Danyang, what will happen to Haier's future in the future? Can you promise me one thing, at least not to punish Danyang before I die?" The Empress Dowager sat there, looking at Emperor Jiayou with a serious face, and her tone was bleak.

"Mother, this matter is really not as simple as you see! The one sent out by Danyang is the dead soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion! These people cannot be trained without years of careful training. Moreover, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion secretly trains these people, and their hearts will be different!" Emperor Jiayou had already seen the report handed over by the Ministry of Justice.

Early in the morning, he was furious and smashed the amber bowl handed to him by the queen in public, punishing the newly promoted nobleman in the palace.

For a moment, everyone in the palace was in danger. It was not until the Empress Dowager personally visited the emperor's main hall that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor has always been a kind and filial person. He has never lost his temper in front of the Empress Dowager.

This time, with the persuasion of the Empress Dowager, the crisis may be over soon.

No one knew the cause of the crisis. The Queen knew a little, but just as she started to persuade her, the Emperor smashed the bowl.

The newly promoted nobleman thought he was favored, but just said one more thing, and was punished by the emperor on the spot and almost sent to the cold palace.

The Empress Dowager rushed over after hearing the news and was also disappointed. Emperor Jiayou refused to enter her request this time.

"Can you make a mistake? How could the Duke Zhenguo Mansion be loyal to all generations? How could it be that he would have done such a disobedient thing?" The Empress Dowager still couldn't believe it. If Duke Zhenguo really had a rebellious heart, Danyang would not be spared.

"My mother, I hope I got it wrong too! However, the memorial of the Ministry of Justice was clearly written, clearly! The Minister of Justice also explained to me personally!" The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, looking helpless.

"Then, Huang Youchang, the Minister of Justice, has a grudge against Danyang? Maybe he is just slander!" The Empress Dowager's eyes showed a hint of anger when she heard about the Minister of Justice.

"My mother, Huang Youchang's Minister of Justice, has been dismissed by me! Now he is unemployed at home, so it is impossible for him to do anything about this matter! And the current Minister of Justice, hasn't you asked someone to remind me to make arrangements? It is said that he is an impartial person!" The emperor's mouth was filled with a hint of mockery.

The Empress Dowager stopped talking after hearing this. If the late emperor was in the court, she would have been scolded by the late emperor for a long time. The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. This time, because of Danyang, she had already exceeded the rules too much.

"Emperor, then, then help Danyang think of a solution. I believe that Danyang must not know the inside story! She is always loving her son, so she is confused! The Duke Zhenguo Mansion is also a loyal and kind person for generations. There must be some misunderstandings here!" The Empress Dowager dared not think about what would happen if her daughter Princess Danyang was involved in rebellion!

"I will definitely check whether there is any misunderstanding! I will check the matters of Danyang carefully when Mother, I will check it out carefully. You are old and should not think too much. You should go back to your Shoukang Palace to have a good rest!" The emperor used all his best patience to persuade the Empress Dowager.

"Then Emperor, take good care of yourself!" The Empress Dowager looked at the tired emperor and knew that he was now tired of Princess Danyang.

But after all, they are still brothers and sisters. For a while, the emperor should not do anything too much to Danyang. As long as Danyang is willing to behave properly, stop.

So she stood up and helped Aunt Chen return to the palace with her close-fitting Aunt Chen. She immediately instructed her confidant palace servants to go out to find Princess Danyang, and warned her to stay at home and not go out to cause trouble again.

"Your Highness of the Princess went to Anguo Temple to pray for blessings! I rushed over and didn't see her!" The palace maid who replied was trembling and lowered her head and did not dare to look at the Empress Dowager.

"This evil devil, at this time, what time will she go to Anguo Temple?" The Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with stars and her voice was hoarse!

No, just because the emperor just received a report from Anguo Temple, there was a riot. The murderer killed more than ten people in one breath and captured hostages. The condition was to release the spies from neighboring countries who had been arrested before!

Princess Danyang is the most important hostage inside!

Before, she sent a dead soldier to assassinate good people, and later she became a hostage to exchange spies from neighboring countries. This series of events happened too coincidental!

The Empress Dowager didn't know how to tell the emperor how to find a way to save her sister!

"My mother, the neighboring countries covet our northwest pass for only one day! I also hope to recover the grasslands and horse farms that were taken away by them in the northwest border! Now, there has been a little progress in the northwest, but such a thing happened again! If I release the spy, where will the soldiers who have their lives to protect our frontier?" The emperor refused without waiting for the empress dowager to speak.

"But, isn't the Duke of Zhenguo also guarding the northwest? If he learns that Danyang has been arrested, he will probably be affected!" The Empress Dowager said softly.

"My mother, it is his duty to guard the northwest! I will deal with Danyang's affairs! If he missed the military and national affairs because of Danyang, I will definitely forgive him!" Emperor Jiayou said in a stern manner.

"You, you are so heartless! Danyang, if something happens to Danyang, the Ai family will not settle with you!" The Empress Dowager saw that Emperor Jiayou had no room for action and left angrily.

"Emperor, General Zhu Kuangzhi asked for a meeting!" As soon as the Empress Dowager left, Zhu Kuangzhi arrived.

Hearing his name, Emperor Jiayou tied his eyebrows and pondered for a while before saying, "Let him get in!"

"I've seen the emperor!" Zhu Kuangzhi came in to pay homage.

"Hmph! I won't wait for the northwest. Why are you going back to take a tide in a mixed water?" Emperor Jiayou lost his good face when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, you know, for those fine works, I have sacrificed the best brothers!" Zhu Kuangzhi frowned and his face was not good-looking.

"I know! There are internal ghosts in the Northwest Army. If you don't abandon these internal ghosts, there will be no peace in the Northwest! Besides, what clues do you already have?" The emperor looked at Zhu Kuangzhi with a deep face, and a hint of hope appeared in his eyes.

"There are indeed clues! These spies must not be released! The emperor, those who know the inside story are among them! Otherwise, why should the enemy set up this plan? Princess Danyang went there at this time!" Zhu Kuangzhi's tone was excited.

"I know what to do! You don't need to point fingers!" Emperor Jiayou couldn't help but kick him, then turned around and left.

"Thank you, the Emperor, for your wise mind!" Zhu Kuangzhi knew that he had not come in vain.
