Chapter 613: Proportion
Lu Junqing's face was gloomy, and he didn't know where he was angry, so he sat on the chair as soon as he entered the door, holding his hand on the table and panting. Obviously, this breath is blocked in the throat, and it is difficult to swallow it.
Lu Mingyue said: "Dad doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as those people, the emperor has his own sense of proportion." ”
Lu Junqing snorted, "These people don't know what to think all day long, Wen Ying has made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, when he went to the southeast, he was recommended by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and at this time the Japanese were also pacified, the maritime yamen also rose, and the new regulations were implemented according to the original plan, plus the bribes and greedy silver handed over by officials from all over the south, the treasury was full of a lot at once." These are all the credit of Wen Ying, how come they become insignificant in their mouths?"
Guo Wenying faintly guessed that the court might have discussed the matter of the post-establishment in the court, presumably the courtiers opposed it, thinking that she would talk about several policies in the southeast.
She asked, "Uncle, what is going on, can you tell me in detail?"
Lu Junqing nodded and began to talk about the situation in the court today.
In fact, Guo Wenying guessed correctly, today in the court, the emperor mentioned the matter of the queen in public for the first time, and most of the courtiers proposed to let the emperor draft. In the last draft, only Yan Guifei was selected, and now she has also been put into the cold palace, speaking of which, there are only one concubine, three concubines, and four women in the emperor's harem, and there are more than this in any minister's family.
In such an empty inner palace, the emperor has no heirs, and for the sake of the emperor's heirs, it is inevitable that the ministers will propose a draft.
It's just that Feng Jingting knows Guo Wenying's temper, this woman is the least likely to be wronged, and those who go to the palace are just that, if he really opens the harem, she really dares to throw him away and run away. In order to take care of her, Feng Jingting naturally did not agree to the draft, so he opened a mouth with the courtiers.
Later, Lu Qifang proposed to select a few unmarried daughters above the fourth rank in Beijing to serve in the palace, and Feng Jingting had to accept it under pressure. Then he mentioned that he wanted to establish Guo Wenying as the queen, and once again set off a storm in the court. Those people who Guo Wenying will befriend tomorrow, in addition to Lu Huaidong's strong support, a few people guarded by Lu Qifang actually strongly opposed it.
Lu Qifang even said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, a talent like Lord Guo is only suitable for standing in the court, how can he enter the palace to accompany him? The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Southern Qi still need Lord Guo, how can women be women?"
This is a big hat buttoned on Guo Wenying's head, if Guo Wenying is on the spot, I am afraid that I want to spray a bite on his face. This Lu Qifang is used to manipulating people, this is to make up his mind to let Guo Wenying stand in the court for the rest of his life and be a cow and a horse.
Lu Junqing is Guo Wenying's uncle, but the matter involves his niece, but he can't help but speak, he said coldly: "What the prime minister said is not right, standing in the court all his life, won't Wenying get married?"
Lu Qifang smiled, "Lord Lu's words are not right, isn't Wen Ying already married? ”
Lu Junqing faintly felt bad at that time, everyone knew that Guo Wenying was married, but many people didn't know who she was marrying, and the rumors about her husband were even stranger. As a married woman, I am afraid that it is impossible to even respond to the draft.
At the beginning, Feng Jingting and her got married in private, just to give her a psychological comfort, but now this matter has become the biggest stumbling block, even if you take out the marriage certificate made at that time, I am afraid that it will not be easy to prove that the person she married is the emperor. How's that good?
He was so anxious that he rubbed his hands in the court, and looked at Dingguo Gong with his eyes, hoping that he would give him a word.
But Guo Yiqian only stood with his hands down, refusing to even say half a word, and didn't seem to see his hint at all. was so angry that Lu Junqing secretly scolded, sure enough, there is no good person surnamed Guo, it is difficult for Guo Wenying to be his niece, why is he unwilling to say a word for his niece at this time?
Later, Lu Huaidong spoke: "Your Majesty, although Wen Ying is a woman, she has contributed to the society, and her marriage should also listen to her opinions, whether to be an official or to marry, she must agree to it herself, can't we decide the affairs of other people's daughters' families in the court, right?"
Lu Qifang said with a smile: "Lord Lu's words are even more wrong, you are Guo Wenying's brother-in-law, Lord Lu is her uncle, there is still an uncle in this court, plus my half of the division commander, these are all elders, why can't you decide her marriage?"
Lu Huaidong glanced at him fiercely, and scolded angrily, "Lu Qifang, don't be a hungry man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry, you just married a beautiful wife, and you can't be happy, but you forcibly dismantle the two of you." Let me ask you, what is the benefit to you of arranging a harem for the emperor, and what is the benefit to you of not letting Guo Wenying enter the palace?"
Lu Qifang's face changed slightly, and he hugged his fist at the emperor, "Is this my personal grudge? I am also for the sake of the country, and for the stability of the mountains and rivers of the Southern Qi Dynasty." Since there is no filial piety, the emperor will not have an heir for thirty years, and he will not be drafted for the emperor, so what should I do?"
The more the two quarreled, the more fierce they became, Feng Jingting's face was also gloomy, he suddenly stood up, and said coldly: "The matter discussed today is stopped, retreat." ”
He flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked out, and the angry appearance was obviously that Long Yan was furious.
Seeing this, these courtiers did not dare to say any more, and they all bowed and saluted, and then withdrew from the main hall.
After such a delay, the morning passed, and after a morning of arguing, nothing came out in the end. Lu Qifang walked out with square steps, and as soon as he walked outside the hall, he was pulled by Lu Junyan from behind.
Lu Junyan stared at him coldly, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said coldly: "Prime Minister Lu, we usually have a good relationship, and you and Wen Ying have a lifelong friendship, why do you still want to dismantle his platform at this time?"
Lu Qifang pulled his sleeves and took two steps back before standing still, the corners of his mouth raised, "Lord Lu is also old, why should he be so angry? Wen Ying is indeed a talent, it's a pity that someone like her has entered the harem." ”
Lu Junyan said angrily: "You don't give me a sloppy eye, Wen Ying is also a big boss, you don't know who she married, do you want the two of them to stay outside the palace and inside the palace like this, husband and wife are not like husband and wife, and monarchs and ministers are not like monarchs and ministers." ”
Lu Qifang was silent for a while, he also has a deep affection for Guo Wenying, this girl has helped him a lot, if there is no her this time, the maritime yamen in the southeast and the new salt regulations will not be able to continue. It also helped him solve a lot of big troubles.
It's just that guilt doesn't work for some things, Guo Wenying has a lot of ability, but it is because of her great ability that people will be jealous, afraid that she will rule the king in the future, meddle in government affairs, and then seek the world of the Southern Qi family. Rather than this, it is better not to let her enter the palace, only outside the court, with him watching, there will be no chaos.
