Taishi Xi Zeyan is an old man who is nearly eighty years old, although his eyes are not dazzled, his legs are not painful, his mind is clear, his body is still tough, but he is old. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info people are still rare when they reach their seventies, not to mention that at his age, the younger generations of his family are also carefully served, and they rarely let him come out and walk around.

When he came to the door, no matter how anxious Song Wenru was, he still pressed his heart and respectfully welcomed him into the door and took a seat.

The two entered Song Wenru's study and sat down, waved off the subordinates, and Taishi Xi didn't talk nonsense, looked at his neatly dressed official uniform and hat, and asked him directly: "Are you going to enter the palace to dissuade the emperor's draft?"

Song Wenru nodded: "Exactly, students can't watch the emperor mess around like this, if they sit idly by, they will be ashamed of the emperor's deathbed trust!"

Xi Zeyan stared at him for a long time, but finally sighed and said: "Runsheng, it's good that you can remember the last order of the first emperor, but you must know that the current emperor is not a Ming monarch like the first emperor." ”

The highly respected Taishi can commensurate him with words like he did in his early years, which means to express closeness, but Song Wenru can't agree with this.

"Teacher, the emperor is just young and unstable, as long as we guide ...... well"

Xi Zeyan couldn't bear to poke the student's enthusiasm, but he still sternly interrupted Song Wenru's wishful thinking: "That's from the past!"

Song Wenru raised her head in surprise.

Xi Zeyan rubbed the armrest of the smooth circle chair beside him, and softened his tone: "Runsheng, the teacher knows, you grew up watching the emperor, although he is a monarch and you are a minister, but in your heart, I am afraid that he will be regarded as the same as his own son, although this is a big rebellion, but you and I know that this is the truth, and it is also your loyalty to the emperor." ”

Although the former emperor was not easily at the mercy of his subordinates, he could at least listen to the reasonable advice of his subordinates, but what about today? ”

"The teacher doesn't mean that we will let the emperor go unto it from now on, but this time, not only can we not object, but also support, you, as the prime minister and the head of a hundred officials, must fully participate!"

"Why is that?" Could it be that the teacher he respected had also become a flattering villain?

Xi Zeyan knocked on the sandalwood bookcase: "Then you go to dissuade it, do you want the emperor to always remember Empress Xiaoyuan, really never stand up, like a common man to keep the filial piety of his dead wife for a lifetime, and keep it so depressed and gloomy?"

Song Wenru immediately shook her head.

When the first emperor died, the emperor, as a parent, was just a day for a month, and he could keep filial piety for 27 days, what was Empress Xiaoyuan, and what could the emperor keep his filial piety for a lifetime? But it is true that the emperor has been depressed in his heart, and his temperament has become more and more irritable.

"Runsheng, before doing everything, you have to think more about the pros and cons, the emperor's will now, in terms of private morality, is suspected of going back on its word, but we are courtiers, what is more important is to worry about Li Min Sheji, if the emperor can choose a more desirable woman than Empress Xiaoyuan this time, and cheer up from now on, wouldn't it be the blessing of Daqi and the blessing of Sheji? Compared with the emperor's heirs, this private virtue is a loss, it is nothing, you think about it carefully. ”

Song Wenru looked at his teacher in horror, didn't this mean that the emperor himself loved what he wanted, and he didn't have to worry if he didn't speak, as long as he made the world happy, did it mean that?

How can a courtier be like this?

Xi Zeyan lived to this age, and he saw through what the students were thinking at a glance.

He couldn't help sighing, alas, Song Wenru is a student, everything is good, but he is too upright, such a temperament is due to the fact that the emperor knew people well and was broad-minded, otherwise how could he ensure that he could still stand on the court today?

"You are also over half a hundred years old, the sea is up and down, some things, don't be too rigid in form. Do you think the emperor will listen to you if you oppose it? And as soon as you take the lead, those ministers who think the same way as you will definitely take action, and whether or not to keep it is another court dispute, and the ministers will not suffer much? Now you can only find an opportunity to grasp the direction of the matter and put everything back on the right track that the subjects expect. ”

The gray-haired old emperor taught earnestly, lest his student commit leftism again.

"Besides, now the emperor's will, for people with green ambitions, is exactly what they can't ask for, if you oppose it and block the way of other people's glory and wealth, then how much ability do you have to protect yourself?

The last words completely cooled Song Wenruchu's brain, which began to surge with enthusiasm.

A month ago, the scene of a large number of ministers receiving the cane of punishment still seemed to be in front of them, and the wailing and screaming still lingered in his ears.

Sure enough, it's unpredictable.

Song Wenru lowered her head.

Well, if the emperor can expand the harem and forget Empress Xiaoyuan from now on, it will also be an excellent thing.

Besides, how the emperor's harem is, it was originally related to the previous dynasty. The emperor's harem, in terms of reasonableness, must have new people, and a dead person must not be allowed to occupy it for a lifetime, it is better to come earlier than later.

That's it, so be it.

The two discussed in detail and reached an agreement.

The next morning, Prime Minister Song Wenru made a list in the surprised eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to express his approval of the emperor's draft will, and took the initiative to ask the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for the draft.

The emperor's dragon heart was happy, and he immediately allowed it, and the haze that shrouded the court of Daqi over the moon finally showed signs of dissipating.

And those ministers who had the intention to persuade the emperor to say a few words and make a show, when they saw the prime minister's attitude, they immediately dispelled their thoughts and praised the emperor one after another. Except for a few words of accusation from a few officials, the Great Qi court was harmonious and peaceful, and everyone turned a blind eye to the emperor's rebellion.

After all, it is normal for women in the Great Qi Dynasty to marry late, and it is normal for them to be unmarried at the age of sixteen, and most of the courtiers have women of appropriate age in their families, in case they can take advantage of this opportunity to be favored by the emperor, even if they can't be the queen in the middle palace, they can also have the opportunity to advance, and it is not impossible to fly on the branches to be a phoenix.

The emperor kept thinking about the dead queen, that is ridiculous, and the draft to expand the harem is what the subjects are happy to see.

Only Wei Beihou is really dissatisfied.

He blushed and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

There was neither opposition nor praise.

In his opinion, the emperor is not only going back on his word and disrespecting his dead daughter, but also slapping him in the face of Weibei Houfu!

If you don't have joy in your heart, then you don't want to act like that before, it seems that you are in love, it's only been a few days, and you're going to have a big draft again, it's ridiculous!

Even if he is the king and the Xu family is a minister, this is too much of a bully!

He got on his horse with the sympathetic or relieved eyes of the ministers, and went straight home. If Madame knows this news, I'm afraid she will have to add another knot!

He really doubted now, was the emperor uncertain, or was he deliberately targeting the Xu family?

The matter of selling weapons was completely resolved, and Mrs. Bai felt at ease, and she was in a good mood to prepare a gift to go to Feng Tongzhi's house to thank her.

Twice before and after, Feng Tongzhi stood on the side of the Bai family, although he didn't know where this inexplicable adult favor came from, but he still had to thank him.

Xu Chenghuan was also able to get out, and he didn't have to be stuck with Mrs. Bai all the time, and he was walking around the martial arts arena all morning.

Looking at it, her favorite is the sword, she went to Bai Bingxiong's study and picked up a long sword in her hand, thinking back to her father and brother's martial arts practice on weekdays, and tried to dance.

"Miss, do you want to dance the sword?"

Since Shao Hui went through the oolong thing of the rolling pin, now she is obedient to the eldest lady, and she won't say more nonsense than half a word, only Yingchun watched the eldest lady dance the sword curiously, and asked without holding her mouth.

Xu Chenghuan was not annoyed, thought for a while and said: "It's not sword dancing, it's sword practice and martial arts." ”

Yingchun felt incredible: "Miss, the eldest young master is not willing to practice martial arts, you are a girl, what are you doing practicing martial arts?"

Shao Hui hurriedly reached out to pull the unobstructed Yingchun: "The master does things, how can there be a place for you to speak, why do you talk so much in Yingchun!"

Xu Chenghuan put away the movements in his hand, turned his head to look at Yingchun, looked at it for a long time, and finally curled the corners of his lips and smiled.

There is nothing to say about the appearance of the eldest lady, and she is extremely good-looking when she smiles, but Yingchun feels that there is a bit of desolation in this smile for no reason.

She was taken aback by her own thoughts, and quickly shook her head to shake off the inexplicable thought and stood obediently.
