Chapter 13
Chapter 13 — I'm as frugal as a chrysanthemum, but I'm raising a poor son? Eighteen years later, I became the queen mother
He smiled. That smile was like a beam of light tearing through the darkness.
“Then please get a good night's sleep.”
“Wait until you wake up tomorrow, it will be bright.”
He helped me adjust the corner of the blanket, then turned and left. The teenager is still young, but his back is like a mountain that can be relied on. I lay in bed, for the first time, sleeping incredibly soundly. My child, has finished sharpening his fangs. Tomorrow, it will go hunting. The next day, the Great Hall of Hinh Bo. My father, the great general who was so majestic all those years ago, is now wearing a prison uniform and being escorted to the public hall. His hair has turned gray, his body is skinny, but his spine is still as straight as ever. The judge is the Minister of Justice. The Queen's people. Below the public hall, the officials who came to attend the audience filled the seats. Tien Phong, as the plaintiff, stood in the middle of the hall, crying and denouncing the "crime" of my father. He spoke clearly, beginning and end, and also presented so-called "evidence". Some books and correspondence were falsified. Even though I'm in Tuy Ngoc Hien. But with every step of progress outside, someone quietly reports it. I know, all of this is in the calculations of Trieu Hanh and Tinh Vuong. The interrogation was halfway done. The Minister of Criminal Justice is planning to pound the wooden palace and sentence him on the spot. Outside the main hall, suddenly there was a commotion.
“His Royal Highness King Tinh has arrived!”
A loud shout made the whole hall immediately go silent. Everyone looked towards the door at the same time. Tinh Vuong leaned on his cane and walked inside step by step. Behind him is Trieu Hanh. Trieu Hanh today, dressed in a prince's formal attire, his young face was covered with a seriousness that did not match his age.
“Uncle Huang, why are you here?”
The Minister of Justice quickly stood up to welcome him, sweat dripping on his forehead.
“This king comes to take a look.”
Tinh Vuong looked around, his eyes stopped on my father, and he nodded slightly. Then, he turned to look at the Minister of Justice.
“I heard, you guys are ready to condemn the crime?”
“Tell… tell the King, the evidence is accurate, so…”
“Real evidence?”
Tinh Vuong laughed coldly. Trieu Hanh stood behind him and stepped forward.
“Your Majesty.”
Trieu Hanh opened his mouth, his voice was clear, but carried a majesty that left no room for doubt.
"This prince is here. I also have some evidence. I would like to ask you to see it."
As he spoke, he took out a few books and a stack of debt papers from his sleeve. These are the evidence of Tien Phong's crimes at Thong Bao. Minister of Justice's face suddenly changed dramatically. In the blink of an eye, Tien Phong's face turned gray and his whole body fell limp to the ground.
“Pre-royal history.”
Trieu Hanh stepped in front of him and looked down from above.
"You will pay General Wen to deduct military provisions and pay for your own pocket."
“So where did your thirty thousand taels of gambling debt come from?”
“Is your salary enough to pay?”
“Or should I say, this is the Queen's reward for you?”
The last sentence, the volume was not loud, but sounded like a thunderclap. Queen Princess! Everyone took a breath of cold air. The Minister of Justice came in panic The level knelt down on the ground.
"Third prince! Please be careful!"
“Kidney language?”
Trieu Hanh smiled.
“Today, my prince would like to clarify here.”
"This matter is the Queen and Concubine Hien colluding with the foreign minister and framing the loyal loyalist!"
"The purpose is to take away my right to raise me and shake the country!"
A small teenager, standing in the middle of the street. Facing the tyranny of literature and martial arts, every word and every word was heart-wrenching. At this moment, outside the main hall, another announcement sounded.
“Your Majesty is here!”
The Emperor has arrived. He put on plain clothes and walked inside with a gloomy face. Vuong Duc Toan followed closely behind him. Everyone knelt down on the ground.
“My good queen, my good servant!”
The emperor's voice was cold as ice.
“What a great play!”
He didn't even look at Tien Phong and Minister of Justice who were kneeling on the ground. Just step straight in front of my father and personally remove the shackles from his body.
“General, you have suffered resentment.”
My father, with tears in his eyes, knelt down and bowed his head.
“God, thank you, Your Majesty!”
The emperor's eyes finally stopped on Trieu Hanh. He looked at this boy, his expression extremely complicated. There was surprise, there was scrutiny, and there was also a trace... even he himself had never noticed, which was appreciation and pride. He didn't say anything. Just turned around, waved his sleeve and left.
"Empress To Thi, you are not worthy of the position, from today onwards, take away the phoenix seal and move to the cold palace."
“Hien Phi, bestow a strip of white silk.”
“Tien Phong, tru di whole gate, slash.”
“Minister of Criminal Justice, dismissed, investigated.”
The cold decrees, one by one, were issued from Duong Tam Palace. The Queen's faction, which had been doing business for many years, completely collapsed within one day. Trees fell, monkeys scattered. That night. In the cold palace, the Queen's crazy cries were heard. At Vinh Hoa palace, a strip of white mausoleum, ending a lifetime of competition for Hien Phi. The detention order at Tuy Ngoc Hien was also lifted.
