Chapter 1585 Only a Lucky Star

Others know that the emperor favors the empress, so they dare not mention it.

But someone has to tell the emperor, let him know.

Then he was the only one who brought it up, but some words were too sharp for him to say.

Seeing the minister's faltering and hawing, fourth master knew what the minister hadn't said without thinking too much.

It's nothing more than saying that the common people talk about the queen as a disaster star and disaster water.

He tightened his eyes, his eyes were firm and sharp.

"The matter of the Ulanara family, after my review, was deliberately framed by someone behind the scenes. I will order someone to investigate this matter, and will give... the Ulanara family a clean slate."

He wanted to say that after the investigation, he would give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

But he thought about it again, why did he give everyone an explanation.

Those people are all because they listen to the wind and rain, and follow the wind and think that the Ulanara family is plotting rebellion.

In this case, the only victim was the Ulanara family.

He just needs to give the Ulanara family a clean slate.

And, give his queen an explanation.

But where is his queen?

First up, fourth master's eyes darkened.

He pursed his lips, and continued: "As for the divination by Qin Tianjian that there is a disaster star in the direction of Yongshou Palace, let alone whether what the Qin Tianjian said is true."

"My Hall of Mental Cultivation is adjacent to the Palace of Eternal Life of the Empress. Then, it is very likely that a disaster has come to my Hall of Mental Cultivation. Otherwise, during the earthquake, why would a fire befall the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

When the ministers heard what Si Ye said, they immediately said: "But the Empress's Yongshou Palace is also on fire."

"Yeah, the Tai Chi Hall is also on fire."

"The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Lord. Even if it catches fire, it will be the arrival of sparks, and it cannot be the arrival of disaster stars."

Sounds like these resounded in the hall.

They believed in this, but they could suspect that anyone was a disaster star, but it was impossible and dare not suspect that the emperor was a disaster star.

Even if a catastrophe really came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they would have to push it to others.

Or, say the disaster star is Mars.

Otherwise, everyone will think that the emperor is a catastrophe, which will only make people panic, and the spiritual pillar of the entire Qing Dynasty will be gone.

Regarding what the ministers said, fourth master did not choose to clean himself up, but took everything on him.

He said in a deep voice: "It's been four years since Yongzheng, and the queen has married me since I was an elder brother. After that, I was conferred the titles of Baylor and Prince by the ancestors one after another, until the ancestors handed over the right to inherit the throne to you." In my hands, during this period, the queen has always been by my side."

"Even when we fought against the Zhunbu last year, it was she who led the Ministry of War to develop a new type of artillery. If we really want to give her a position, then she will only be my lucky star, and she can never be a disaster star."

Speaking of this, he paused, looking down at the first circle with sharp eyes.

Everyone was so scared that they trembled and did not dare to meet his eyes.

Then, Fourth Master suddenly increased his voice, "Or, in your opinion, everything I have experienced over the years is a disaster, a disaster?"

A thick and majestic voice sounded over the hall.

The ministers who were sitting were so frightened that they knelt down one after another.

"Ministers, slaves dare not."

The ministers lay on the ground tremblingly, not even daring to breathe.

Yes, the queen has been married to the emperor for so many years.

If it was really a disaster, a disaster, it would have been a disaster long ago, so why wait until now.

And if they still say that the queen is a disaster that harms the emperor, it means that the emperor's ascension to the throne is a disaster.

You are talking nonsense with your eyes open!

The fourth master glanced at the officials, "Now the disaster area is full of mourning, you should not discuss why the earthquake happened here, the most important thing is to stabilize the emotions of the people in the disaster area and help them."

Ministers: "What the emperor said is very true."

Fourth Master: "From today, we will reduce corvee and taxes in the disaster-stricken areas, open the spare granary in the capital, and give porridge to the victims. We will also transfer two million taels of silver from the imperial court for disaster relief."

"At the same time, the six ministries and other imperial government organizations, in addition to disaster relief, mobilized wealthy officials, gentry and wealthy households from all over the Qing Dynasty to donate silver to build houses for the victims. Some active donations will be commended and rewarded by the imperial court."

"In the face of a disaster, we must unite as one, unite as one, and tide over the difficulties together. Ten families in two neighbors have a sense of compassion for each other, and can help with repairs, so as to restore their homes as soon as possible!"

Ministers: "The emperor is wise!"

Fourth master: "Similarly, it is also my responsibility that such a thing happened in the Qing Dynasty. If you shift the responsibility to a woman, it is an irresponsible and cowardly act! Therefore, I decided to issue an edict to punish myself in three days. Appease the wrath of heaven."

If there had to be someone to take on this matter, he would rather be him.

Su Peisheng on the side stood behind Fourth Master, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

The queen is no longer alive, the emperor can obviously pass the responsibility to the queen.

But the emperor took all the responsibility on himself.

Rather than calming the anger of heaven, it is better to calm the anger and panic of the common people.

Because in the feudal Qing Dynasty, whenever there was a natural or man-made disaster, everyone didn't want to believe that it was just a pure natural and man-made disaster.

They prefer to believe that their rulers are not virtuous, or that disasters have come to the Qing Dynasty.

In the end, Fourth Master looked at the backs of the ministers kowtowing, and said in a voice like a bell: "Who else has any objections?"

The lower ministers trembled and dared not speak.

For a while, the hall was eerily quiet.

Seeing that the ministers were afraid to say anything, he nodded slightly, "Very good, step back!"

After coming down to court, the fourth master immediately summoned the Punishment Department and the Sticking Pole Department to investigate the affairs of the Ulanara family.

Before the earthquake, he checked almost everything.

Now, just verify.

In addition, he also ordered people to investigate the Qin Tianjian.

Two nights later, that is, the night before the fourth master issued an edict to sin against himself, the fourth master summoned the fourteenth master into the palace.

At this moment, fourth master was sitting in front of the desk.

The Fourteenth Master knelt in front of his desk.

After the two brothers were silent for a long time, the fourth master spoke first: "Tell me, why did you plan to frame Wuge and the Ulanara family with the Queen's mother."

Fourteenth Master: "..."

"Don't talk?" The fourth master looked at the fourteenth master, "Is it because you don't like the Wulanara family's contribution to the Qing Dynasty? Or do you have a grudge against your imperial sister-in-law?"

"Neither!" Fourteenth Master was so provoked by Fourth Master that he finally spoke.

Fourth master: "Since it's not the case, it's you who was instructed by the old man."

"It has nothing to do with Mynah, don't bring everything up on Mynah." Fourteenth Master raised his head, looked at Fourth Master with piercing eyes, and said recklessly, "I just can't stand you forcing Ninth Brother to death."

Fourth Master: "..."

"Master Fourteen, what you said is meaningless. Lord Ninth ordered people to hunt down and kill the emperor and empress during the emperor's southern tour. The emperor thought of brotherhood and spared him from death. He was just imprisoned." In the Clan Mansion, it is already benevolent and righteous." Su Peisheng retorted.
