Chapter 209: The Past (5)

Ye Dingxi's family is going to be beheaded, and the shock to the court is not small. The pen is www.biquge.info good at seeing the wind, and the officials who are good at seeing the wind and making the rudder meet the horses praise the emperor Shengming, and the loyal ministers and good generals shout for Ye Dingxi and worry about Beiguan. Coupled with the matter of sending the prince to the army for training, the court is a fryer. The ministers quarreled in front of the emperor, and they almost didn't fight.

The emperor was dizzy from the noise, left the military officials, and ran to Zhaohua Palace to hide from the Qingqing.

Zhao Yan comforted him and said, "All changes are not smooth at the beginning, and the ministers do not have the vision and courage of the emperor, so it will be good to implement it in the future." ”

The emperor was much more relieved, and Zhao Yan said to him again, "The concubine heard that Ye Dingxi still has a son on the run, if he comes to rescue his family, I don't know if the emperor can deal with it?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "Ye Su...? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I really forgot about him." ”

"The concubine heard that he is also a good general, if he knew that his family was going to be beheaded, he would not sit still. As the saying goes, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if the emperor can catch him, it is better to cut him together. In addition, King Xi is Ye Dingxi's in-law, so I am afraid that he will not stand idly by. The emperor should make some arrangements in advance, don't go wrong. ”

Emperor "Yes, I should give way to the north..."

He was about to say that he should let the King of the North arrange it, but Zhao Yan interrupted his words, "Your Majesty, the concubine also heard that the King of the North has always been close to the Ye family, so it is better for him to avoid suspicion in this matter." ”

The emperor thought about it, and finally arranged this matter to Teng Long, on the one hand, let him transfer the forbidden army to strictly guard the prison of the Criminal Department, and on the other hand, let him track down Ye Su's whereabouts.

After this arrangement was made, I saw that the Su family came to Zhaohua Palace with the palace people.

Zhao Yan obediently saluted the Su family, and when the emperor saw the Su family, his face showed some displeasure, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Su knelt on the ground, gave the emperor a big salute, and said, "The concubine has come to ask the emperor to take back the holy decree!"

The emperor slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! The courtiers don't understand me." You're the queen, why are you confused?"

Su said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince, and he is related to the succession of the country. There are no eyes in the army, and even if the prince makes a slight mistake, he will shake the country. ”

Before the emperor could make a sound, Zhao Yan sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said to the Su family, "A prince who can't withstand the wind and rain at all will indeed shake the country." There is a popular saying among the people, called a loving mother is more defeated, but it is a mother like you, the queen mother. ”

Dare to say such things to the Su family, Zhao Yan is indeed too presumptuous, the Su family is very angry, and said angrily, "Concubine Zhao, how dare you talk to the palace like this? Could it be that with the emperor's favor, you don't have the upper and lower humility in your eyes?

After Su finished speaking, he glanced at the emperor, and said in his heart, you are used to it!

The emperor glanced at Zhao Yan and said painlessly, "Concubine Zhao, you are presumptuous..."

Zhao Yan pretended to be guilty, "The concubine is afraid, please forgive the emperor and the queen!" But the concubine is willing to take the risk to say these words, all for the sake of the emperor, the queen's mother, and the eternal stability of the dynasty. ”

Su Shi also sneered, "For the palace, for the emperor, for the stability of the country?

Zhao Yan raised her face, unhappy, and retorted, "Don't charge the queen with a crime!" If you say so, then the concubine should ask you, the emperor is still on the throne and is still in the prime of life. The queen mother's self-talking prince, the successor of the country, is it looking forward to the emperor going west as soon as possible?"

"You... How dare you say that... You... Bold..."Su Shi was really angry, and he was a little speechless.

"Queen Xu, you said that the concubine is a disaster for the country and the people, so you don't allow the concubine to talk about the mother, right?" Zhao Yan didn't show weakness at all, she was really angry, and Su's heart trembled.

"It's the other way around, someone is coming! Concubine Zhao made a mistake without concealment, and slapped the palace on the mouth. ”

Su Shi ordered the palace people to move, but they heard the emperor say, "Okay! Don't make trouble."

The palace people didn't dare to stretch out their hands, so they all shrank back. The emperor said to Concubine Zhao, "You go down first." ”

Concubine Zhao glanced at the emperor, as if she was reluctant to leave. The emperor waved his hand at her, and she had to go to the apse very unwillingly.

Su Shi protested hatefully, "Your Majesty, does this Concubine Zhao still have rules......?"

The emperor didn't let Su Shi continue, and accused her, "If you are the queen, can't you be more generous?

Su Shi sighed in his heart, "Okay, the concubine is generous." Please ask the emperor to allow his ministers and concubines to follow the example of Empress Rongde of the previous dynasty, and let our mother and son go to the fiefdom to live in peace. ”

Saying such things again, the emperor began to get angry, "Huan'er joined the army on behalf of me, and this move is to promote the atmosphere of advocating martial arts." Concubine Zhao is not sensible, but she can still support me. You are the daughter of the Taifu, who reads poetry and books and understands righteousness, but you want to emulate Empress Rongde of the previous dynasty?"

"Empress Rongde of the former dynasty asked to abolish the crown prince of the queen and her son, even if the emperor of the previous dynasty had a share of land, a little wealth, and a title did not give them mother and son, but Empress Rongde still resolutely left the harem court with her son, so she was able to save her life and clear her name. If not, sooner or later they would have died in the chaos of the inner palace.

The emperor felt that Concubine Zhao was right to support the emperor, but the concubines did not dare to agree. If the prince makes a mistake in the army, whether there are princes and concubines in the inner palace or not, they will have thoughts that they shouldn't have. The interests involved in the concubines are intricate, and once the fight starts, the court will be in chaos, isn't this the same as the previous dynasty?"

No matter how bitter the Su clan was, the emperor just listened to it more and more annoyed, and finally said angrily, "The previous dynasty, the former dynasty, are you comparing me with that absurd and unscrupulous faint monarch?"

Su said, "The concubine doesn't dare"

The emperor continued, "You said that if Huan'er has a bad pool in the army, the inner palace will be chaotic. Then let me abolish you, abolish Huan'er, and let you take my two sisters-in-law away, and the inner palace and the court will not be in chaos? You said that Concubine Zhao brought disaster to the country and the people, and I think you are the one who wants to bring disaster to the country and the people. I will never take back the holy decree, and it is even more fantastical that you want to take Huan'er Yu'er away. ”

Su Shi said that he wanted to take his two sons away was pure anger, and he thought of a way to retreat, but it was self-defeating, and the emperor saw it as a threat to him.

"Disaster to the country and the people?" Su sneered, "Concubine Zhao's words, the emperor really listened to them. According to the courtiers and concubines, the emperor did not listen to a word, otherwise he would not have been able to sort out the facts, but instead said that the ministers and concubines would have brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

"You are really getting more and more presumptuous!" the emperor was about to explode, "Come on, send the queen back to the palace to reflect." ”

After all, she is the queen, and the palace people dare not do anything to her. Su's request for the emperor to withdraw the holy decree was not fulfilled, and she was holding her breath in her heart, and the emperor asked her to go back to the palace for reflection.

Su Shi didn't say anything more, and before leaving, he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, just look at it, with this woman here, it would be strange if there was no big mess in the inner palace and the court!"

The emperor really hated itchy, but it didn't come out. After Su left, he also returned to Taihe Palace. After Su Shi made such a fuss, he also had to think about it carefully. The decree cannot be revoked, because the king has no jokes, and the change of the imperial decree will greatly reduce the monarch's prestige and seriously affect his image in the eyes of his subjects.

Therefore, he could only exploit loopholes from other aspects, he thought about it and felt that it would be better to let the prince stay in the army for a month and find a reason to recall him, so that he could appease the courtiers. In addition, the king of the north strengthened the security of the crown prince, and in addition, he also sent additional secret guards to protect him. There are guards in the open and in the dark, and the emperor feels that the crown prince is already very safe.
