Chapter 37: Compromise (4)

(Go to the net.)

"Lord Situ, what kind of wind is blowing you, sit up, please sit down. Go and see the net. Ruyan, show Master Situ tea!" Wang Situ stood quietly in front of the front hall, and when I saw his iron-blue face, I knew that there must be no good thing, so I hurriedly stepped forward to get close to him.

"No need. In the face of my kindness, Lord Situ refused without giving face, and then said: "The old man came to see Niangniang this time, but there is only one thing to ask for, and Niangniang does not need to be polite. "How could this old man ask me for something?" I was stunned, quite surprised.

Wang Situ didn't seem to be in a hurry to say something, but looked around leisurely, and said lightly: "It's really a newcomer and a new atmosphere, but the dress of Xiaoming Palace is very different from before." ”

"Lord Situ has won the award, but it has only been slightly retouched, and there have been no major changes. "I was both flattered and unaccustomed to his compliments.

Wang Situ raised his head suddenly, staring at me intently with a pair of eagle eyes, and his expression was quite serious: "Niangniang, don't you think there is something missing in the palace?"

I don't know what kind of medicine this old man sells in his gourd, after a little hesitation, I said with a smile on my face: "It's good, everything is fine, there is nothing missing in the palace, and the palace really doesn't feel that anything is missing." ”

Seeing that I didn't understand what he meant, Wang Situ shook his head in disappointment, then aggravated his tone, and said loudly: "What the old man said is the harem of today's saint!"

Just like five thunderbolts, my whole person was like a fool, and it took me a while to react, and I hesitated to ask him for confirmation: "Lord Situ means... Zhize, no, the emperor's harem..."

"There are too few concubines!" Lord Situ replied bluntly, unambiguously.

Looking at his arrogant appearance, I secretly scolded him in my heart, this dead old man, in charge of the heavens and the earth, even has to take care of this matter, it is really nothing to look for. Although I was still jealous of his high-ranking position, the fact that he openly interfered with my personal space with Zhize was enough to make me angry.

"What did Lord Situ say, in addition to the palace, the emperor also accepted a new Mrs. Chun, if the emperor wants to accept another concubine in the future, he will naturally be canonized. This kind of harem matter, Lord Situ intervened, it seems a little abrupt, right?" I said with a thorn in my words, and expressed the dissatisfaction in my heart vaguely.

Although Wang Situ touched a soft nail, he still looked unrelenting, and said in a mouthful: "The emperor only has two ladies now, and the prince has only one." Even if it is placed in an ordinary family, it is natural to have more children and more blessings, not to mention that the emperor is responsible for the heavy responsibility of all the people in the world, how can there be only one prince? In short, in the humble opinion of the ministers, the prosperity of the emperor's heirs is related to the future of the country and must be taken seriously. ”

Lord Situ's words are clearly meant to tell me that I think this is our own family affair is simply untenable. As long as you ascend to the position of emperor, everything must be linked to the rise and fall of the world.

"Wang Situ, whether this concubine is a concubine or not, it is the emperor's decision, what Lord Situ said is reasonable, but the palace thinks that this is not harmful to see as a good thing, at least it shows that the emperor is still diligent in national politics and does not delay women. "I racked my brains to wrestle with this old man, there was only one thought in my heart, the incident of Chunyu has made me regret it, I can't let the lesson repeat itself, I must keep my Zhize.

"The emperor is a wise man, this is not bad. After listening to my words, Wang Situ nodded slightly in agreement, and then changed his words and said: "However, there are some things that not only require the emperor's diligence, but also the cooperation of the courtiers. ”

"Oh, the concubine is ignorant, and I ask Lord Situ to make it clear. Wang Situ obviously had something to say.

"Niangniang, the old man asked you, you have been in the palace for a few days now, and you have grown a lot of knowledge, can you tell me what you think of the position of the emperor?"

I thought for a while, and then answered truthfully with the opinion in my heart: "In the past, the concubines thought that being the emperor was a very easy thing, and the courtiers were responsible for everything below, and the emperor only needed to make a judgment, whether to do it or not, but now it seems that my opinion seems too naΓ―ve." (Oriental.)

"How naΓ―ve, let's hear it?" Wang Situ changed to a more comfortable sitting position, interested in my words, and his gaze gradually softened.

"Since entering the palace, the palace has found that being the emperor is far from being as simple as imagined, in addition to government affairs, the emperor also has to deal with all kinds of complicated relationships, and find a balance between all kinds of people, and this is the most headache problem. ”

Once I opened the conversation, I found that I was actually very talkative, after all, this was all caused by my own feelings, so when I mentioned it, I was naturally very touched. "For example, just like the matter of dealing with disaster relief food a few days ago, the victims did not have enough food to tide over the difficulties, so they naturally hoped that the imperial court could distribute disaster relief food as soon as possible. As for where the imperial court got the grain, this was not a question they were worried about, and as for the big grain stockholders, they did not need to worry about food, they just wanted to sell the grain they had at a good price. They seldom consider that the victims will rise up to revolt because of the lack of food. ”

"But the emperor is different, Zhize not only has to take these issues into account, but also has to deal with a lot of corresponding affairs... In short, very troublesome. ”

After saying the words in my heart in one breath, I was relieved and felt a lot more relaxed. Lord Situ listened quietly, a smile seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth, and he praised me rarely: "Niangniang can think so far-reaching, she really deserves the demeanor of the mother of the country, Niangniang is so reasonable, the old man really admires it." ”

"To tell you the truth, the old man came to meet his mother this time, and it was really related to this disaster relief incident. Wang Situ cleared his throat and said: "Niangniang has made a great contribution this time, if it weren't for Niangniang's clever plan, I'm afraid that the food for disaster relief would not be raised so quickly, and even if it is raised, it will cost the court more silver taels." ”

"Lord Situ has won the award, and the concubine just wants to do her part for the emperor. "In the face of Lord Situ's praise, I was quite calm, but my heart was already happy, and finally someone affirmed the fruits of my labor!

"But Niangniang has thought about it, if it weren't for the help of the young owner of the rich bank, do you think things would go so smoothly?" Lord Situ's rhetorical question was right in my arms, but no, if it weren't for Qian Chong's full help and came up with such a perfect plan, it would be really hard to say how things would be now.

Wang Situ said with emotion: "Those gentry and nobles in the capital, their power is indeed too great, these people are either the royal relatives of the hereditary prince and marquis, or the important ministers of the previous dynasty, these people are all rich people with good land and thousands of dollars. They married and intermarried with each other, and gradually became a huge force, and many of the courtiers who are now in power are recommended by them, so to speak, these people play an extremely important role in the stability of the government and the opposition. ”

I was dumbfounded when Lord Situ said it, I couldn't imagine it, I couldn't imagine it, under this seemingly peaceful and prosperous scene, there was such a turbulent undercurrent, and I secretly thought to myself, according to Lord Situ, those people should be similar to the scholars in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Wang Situ still seemed to be a little unsatisfied and continued: "Niangniang, the old man asks you again, why do you think Yuan Zhixun failed so quickly?"

"Well," I replied cautiously, "It should be the result of the Northwest Army's courage and skill, Zhize's strategizing, and Chunyu's so many clever plans." ”

A contemptuous smile appeared on Wang Situ's face, and he shook his head and said, "Niangniang, you only see the surface, but the essence under the surface is not involved in the slightest. War is not only a battle for human life and strategy, but also a competition for financial resources!"

Wang Situ stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said, "Don't look at the old man who has been living in seclusion at home since the death of the first emperor, but the old man is still clear about things in the world. Although he Yuan Zhixun also has some intelligence, he has made a serious mistake since the day he ascended the throne, he promoted many officials from the bottom, and this practice will undoubtedly make these gate lords very dissatisfied. In addition, Yuan Zhixun has always had an antipathic attitude towards them, so the gentry and nobles naturally want to get rid of him quickly. ”

"Nowadays, the saints have received their strong support since they first raised their troops in Hanzhong, why would these people be willing to give money and food to support the emperor? It was because of this that the emperor was able to conquer Luoyang in such a short period of time. ”

"The emperor's position is certainly at the top of the world, and the scenery is infinite at the height, but once he falls, he is destined to fall the worst. Wang Situ paused, and his sharp eyes projected straight over: "Niangniang, aren't you worried that one day history will repeat itself?"

Lord Situ's words were like a burst of electricity, instantly piercing my heart, and there was already a cold sweat behind me. It's so cold at a high place, why didn't you think about it before?

Seeing that I was dumbfounded, Lord Situ knew that his words had worked, and he sat upright and said, "On the issue of selling grain, they are against the imperial court, which is a dangerous signal. Therefore, Niangniang, the top priority is to win over these people, so that the country can be stable. ”

I nodded with difficulty, still feeling apprehensive about what Lord Situ said just now: "What Lord Situ said is reasonable, the concubines also persuaded the emperor before, promising some benefits to those gentry and nobles, so that they can actively cooperate with the imperial court for disaster relief, but for some reason, the emperor just doesn't agree..."

"Niangniang, in fact, their conditions are very simple, and they have already informed the emperor. Master Situ smiled slightly, looking at me strangely.

"What... What conditions?" I looked at the thin old man in front of me with trepidation, not knowing what was going on.

"They just hope that the emperor can accept the women of their clan as concubines!" Lord Situ said in a shocking voice.
