Hearing Empress Dowager Li's natural proposal, the emperor frowned, "Queen Mother!"

"What, what does the Emperor think?"

"It's not.;" The Emperor shook his head before he said slowly, "I have no other opinion on the Queen Mother's proposal, but I am afraid that this matter will disappoint the Queen Mother." ”

"What?" the Queen Mother was a little surprised, looked up and asked, "Does the Emperor have other plans?"

"The Queen Mother, please see. The emperor handed the scroll he had just put down to the Queen Mother and said, "Although the relationship between our dynasty and Qia Shun has stiffened in recent years, it is not to the point where war is indispensable. Perhaps other possibilities are unknown, but this is the letter I have just received from Cha Shun, which shows that the relationship between the two countries is indeed to the point where the two countries intersect with each other. ”

The Queen Mother was greatly surprised and took it with some excitement. However, although there was disappointment on his face after reading it, he quickly recovered, and even looked at the emperor with a little smile and said, "Is it a kiss? ”

The emperor chuckled in his heart, what does the Queen Mother mean by this?

"The queen mother is too worried, this is just what Cha Shun meant, I haven't agreed yet, and I don't plan to agree. ”

"What did the emperor say? Empress Dowager Li said, "Wouldn't it be a great joy to be able to settle the dispute with Cha Shun in such a peaceful way and give the people peace in the world?

"Once a war begins, it will inevitably end in the misery of the people. The emperor said, "I naturally don't think so, but my mirror dynasty is a big country, how can I succumb to a small border country and let it take what it wants?"

The emperor's words were wrong. Empress Dowager Li disagreed, and persuaded, "How can this be regarded as submission? Qia Shun's annual offering is not a small amount, and this amount of gold and silver is of great benefit to the people's livelihood in our country." ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't need to persuade much. The emperor's attitude was a little tough, "My sister has been living in exile for several years, and has endured countless hardships, and now she has just returned to the palace, how can I bear to let her be displaced again?"

"The emperor can't be so willful" The queen mother looked at the emperor's eyes with a little inquiry, and said slowly, "Princess Dongyang and Your Majesty are not biological brothers, and now the emperor is willing to give her a title It is a great honor, this time the princess can exchange her body for the peace of a country, this is her honor......"

"The Queen Mother. The emperor interrupted her, "In my heart, my sister is better than my own child, I have made up my mind, and the queen mother does not need to say much." ”

"Emperor, you ......" The Queen Mother was extremely angry, and seeing that the emperor showed no signs of giving in, she turned around angrily and left.

Yin Nuan and others had a hurried trip to Cha Shun this time, and the head of the Weng family regretted it greatly. It's just that he also knows that Yin Nuan needs to take medicine to save people, and he can't keep it.

"Weng Lao doesn't need to send it again. Yin Nuan hugged his fists and said, "If he has the opportunity in the future, the servant will come to visit him now." ”

The head of the Weng family has been sending people to the border, and when he saw that it was really not good to go forward, he stopped with regret, and then waved away his family, and stepped forward to Yin Nuan alone:

"Yin Langjun has both virtue and talent, and he is a person who can be friends for a long time, and he may as well give you a bottom when he is old, Yin Cong, the prince of the country, has the talent of a Ming monarch, and the two countries are at war or not, and it is possible to make friends even in the future. ”

And as long as the two countries are on good terms, trade will not be broken. And the Mirror Dynasty is rich, if the Weng family wants to open up the Mirror Dynasty trade route, according to the Weng family's many years of experience in seeing people, Yin Nuan is the best candidate.

Yin Nuan is indeed grateful for his outspokenness, a few words from the head of the Weng family have made it clear that the Weng family is returning, if the eldest prince can really hold the power in the end, according to the financial resources of the Weng family, he may be called a Qia Shun national businessman. There is a need for a long-term alliance.

And this information may not be of much benefit to Yin Nuan now, but it is indeed very important to the current situation of the Weng family, after all, the situation in the Qia Shun court is not clear now.

Yin Nuan solemnly replied: "I have thanked Weng Lao for telling him bluntly, if there is really a prosperous day of trade between the two countries, I hope that the servant and the Yin family will have the honor to have a good time with Weng Lao again." ”

Yin Nuan has always been honest in business, and Weng Lao got his promise and left satisfied.

Holding a horsewhip in his hand, he looked up in the direction of the mirror, and his heart was like an arrow.

Since the Queen Mother's anger turned around that day, the more perceptive ministers have vaguely seen the dark tide surging in the court. Unlike the panic below, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and was not much surprised by the recent situation, but there were some things that he really couldn't wait for.

The Queen Mother may not have the idea of seeking a dynasty, but in order to retain her power, her hand is too long.

Before he left the palace gate, he was kept by a small palace slave who was not eye-catching, and Song Zhao still felt a little mysterious until he stood in the imperial study and saw the figure standing behind the screen.

"Minister Song Zhao see Your Majesty!"

"Song Shilang doesn't have to be polite!" The emperor turned around, gave him a seat, and spoke directly, "I don't know what Song Shilang thinks of the current situation in the court and Qia Shun?"

Song Zhao didn't know what the emperor meant by suddenly asking, thought about it, directly filtered the previous question, and replied respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the war in Cha Shun may not start." ”

"Oh, why?"

"Return to Your Majesty!" Song Zhao said, "King Chashun is mediocre, and his national strength is not as good as before. Recently, I heard that King Cha Shun was seriously ill, and the three princes were not yet able to fight, and they should be lacking in skills when they sent troops. ”

The emperor said: "According to your intentions, then why is Qia Shun ready to make a move in recent years and even occasionally disturb my border nationals a few times?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I heard that the mother of the second prince of Cha Shun has been deeply favored by King Cha Shun, and this two princes are extremely murderous people, and this person has been committed to provoking disputes between the two countries for many years. ”

The Emperor then asked, "In that case, if the king is in power, will not the dispute between the two countries necessarily arise?"

Song Zhaodao: "However, this person has courage and no strategy, and he is not popular with the people. The one who really has the talent of unification is the eldest prince Yin Cong. This person was afraid of the king's favorite concubine and the power of the second prince before, and he was mediocre on the face, but he was secretly cultivating power. ”

The Emperor gasped, "Since you dare to say it, it's not as simple as guessing. How could you not have known about such important news before?"

"Back to Your Majesty, before Your Majesty summons, the minister is ready to ask for a visit!"

The emperor remembered that the previous palace slave report did say that this person had secretly stayed after going to court, and he had never said anything about it.

"Living in a temple and knowing the world, you are indeed a great talent, it seems that his vision is indeed good. ”

Song Zhao bowed and said: "Your Majesty praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." ”

"Why be humble. The emperor suddenly said, "Let me ask you, since you have entered the temple and held a high position because of him, whose talent can you count?"

When Song Zhao heard this, he hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the minister is Your Majesty's minister." ”

"Really?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to deceive. Song Zhaodao, "Once the minister is in the court, he is His Majesty's minister, this is the minister's heartfelt words, and it is also ...... The meaning of the five brothers. ”
