Chapter 1238: Changes in the Imperial Situation The prince left Beijing
cpa300_4(); What if none of these factors are available to promote the victory of today's court meeting?
I couldn't help but glance back, in the vast snowy scene, Chang Qing's room was like her person, standing there quietly, snow-capped, which also made the silence seem even more indifferent.
I don't know how Nian Shen answered when she asked me before, but, with just a few words I said at the gate of the palace, it is impossible to change a person's opinion, Nian Shen will dare to go to the court to speak out, first, he originally had such an idea, and second, I am afraid that Chang Qing did not give him much resistance.
Therefore, when asking, Chang Qing himself asked him not to consider both sides of the court discussion, and only said his own opinions.
But what about after that?
Nian Shen's attitude has been made clear, it is contrary to his "grandfather", in this way, will Master Chang find a way to have any impact on Nian Shen - Xiao Yi is at stake? Or, with the attitude of an elder?
And at this moment, I suddenly remembered something, raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanhao's back: "Your Majesty, I seem to have heard that Your Majesty wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to follow Wu Shangshu out on patrol?"
"Hmm. β
ββ¦β¦β
My heart sank.
It seems that there is no need for Chang Taishi to take advantage of the benefits, or to exert pressure as an elder, the prince's departure from the court is the biggest weakening of Fu Badai's side.
I subconsciously said, "Then this tripβ"
"I have already issued a decree for this trip," Pei Yuanhao did not look back, but his voice was a little deep: "My will cannot be changed overnight." β
ββ¦β¦ Folk girl, understood. β
In other words, the prince must leave Beijing.
And then here we are-
When I was thinking like this, he had already led me into the small courtyard, and it happened that Mama Wu came out to pour water, and when she saw us, she hurried over to say goodbye. Pei Yuanhao waved his hand lightly and asked, "How is the princess?"
"Back to the emperor, the princess is taking a nap now. β
"Oh. I'm going to take a look. β
"Your Majesty, do you need a slave to wake up the princess?"
"No need, just look at her, don't wake up the princess. β
"Yes. β
Mama Wu served us and walked in, the room was warm, the wonderful words were tightly covered with a red silk quilt, and she slept peacefully, and her even snort could almost hear the sweetness of her sleep. Pei Yuanhao smiled and walked over to sit on the edge of the bed, looked at her for a while, Mama Wu and Su Su brought hot tea up, I thought about it, let them put it on the table, and waved their hands to let them retreat.
At this time, Pei Yuanhao turned to look at me: "Recently, her condition-"
I said softly, "Nothing has improved. β
"Anyway, she's fine. I can't rush this disease. β
"The folk girl knows. β
As he spoke, he looked back again, tucked the quilt on Miaoyan's shoulders more tightly, and then got up and put down the curtains, walked gently to the table and sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Then, looking up at me, "Are you still worried about that?"
I stood aside and said softly: "The words of His Majesty the Emperor really can't help but make the people's daughters frightened. β
"Yes," he nodded lightly: "Although today's court discussion is over, but the matter is not over, I can see that the court has let Xichuan go all these years, making Xichuan a country within a country, and the courtiers have long had objections in their hearts." This goes on for a long time......"
He didn't finish his sentence, just looked at me again.
There was no change in the expression on my face, but my heart tightened a little.
What did Pei Yuanhao mean by saying these words to me? Did he really trust me so much and discuss this matter with me? Or was he implying something to me?
I am the eldest lady of the Yan family in Xichuan, and during the time when Wu Yanqiu sent Xichuan to Xichuan, even if he did not participate in any incidents, he must have seen with his shrewdness that a large part of Xichuan's people and forces are still under my control, if Xichuan is a "country within a country", then I am at least half the master of this "country within a country".
Pei Yuanhao didn't move Liu Qinghan at the moment, naturally he had his consideration of taking the overall situation into account, but, it was impossible for Xichuan to stay still, if he really wanted to move, he was only afraid of moving-
Pei Yuanhao sat on the edge of the table, bent one hand on the edge of the table, gently stroked a piece of jade cicada hanging from his wrist, and said softly: "I know that those people in the court, colluding interests, and friends in the court, I can see these very clearly. However, if some people and some forces are friends or foes, if they don't understand, I'm afraid that they will really cause trouble. β
β¦β¦
I vaguely felt the deep meaning of his words, but I didn't dare to answer, so I just stood silently.
Neither of them spoke, and they were silent for a while, Pei Yuanhao finally seemed to feel that he should find something to say, so he asked, "You got up early and have been with the queen all the time?"
"It's not. I got up early and was going to say hello to the queen, but I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not good to disturb, so I went out for a walk first. β
"Where did you go?"
"Originally, I wanted to go to Yunhua Palace to see Concubine Niangniang and His Second Highness, but unfortunately they were not there. β
"Oh...... And concubines?"
As if he sensed something, he raised his head and looked at me, and I said, "On the night of the New Year, I saw His Royal Highness Second from afar, and I saw that His Highness had grown a lot. β
"yes......"
He said softly, as if sighing, "Speaking of which, I haven't visited them for a long time." β
ββ¦β¦β
"If it weren't for youβ"
Speaking of this, he seemed to regret his words, and hurriedly cut off the second half of the sentence, I understood that he was afraid of anything, and I didn't mention it, but smiled faintly: "It's okay for His Majesty the Emperor to go and see." Horizontally and vertically, His Royal Highness - it doesn't matter how much it hurts. β
"That's what I thought, but I couldn't get my mind out. So, since we've talked about it, why don't you accompany me over and see him now?"
ββ¦β¦β
I was a little hesitant, although it was not a big deal to visit Liu Li and Nianyun, but if I went to visit him with him, it would be a big deal.
So I smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the folk girl is already a little tired in the morning, and at this moment, I just want to rest for a while." β
"That's ......"
He was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, he just said, "That's it." β
"Your Majesty, Emperor. β
He sat in my room for a while, gossip was nothing, and I didn't have the energy to deal with it, and when it was time for noon to pass the meal, he was gone, and I was relieved, and went back to the bed, leaning against the head of the bed, and took the sweet words that had slept a little dazed into my arms.
Countless thoughts are constantly surging in my heart.
Chang Taishi, Nangong Shangshu......
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......
Queen Mother......
Fu Badai, Pei Yuanhao......
The contest between these parties was originally a very simple matter of whether to use troops against Xichuan, but now it seems to be a little confusing.
The crown prince did not stand on the side of Chang Taishi, and Pei Yuanhao still handed over the prince to Wu Yanqiu after the court discussion, and asked them to go out of Beijing to inspect.
Wu Yanqiu, which side is he on?
What is Chang Qing's view on the current situation and what impact does it have?
If, as Pei Yuanhao said, when the victory of the court today is not there, and Chang Taishi and Nangong Jinhong may win, will they launch a second attack?
At that point, what will be the end?

Several heavy snowfalls in succession hindered Wu Yanqiu and the crown prince Nianshen's trip out of Beijing, and the days dragged on again and again, and finally in early February, two days before the beginning of spring, the weather improved, and the emperor's dictation asked Shangshu and the prince to prepare, that is, to officially go out of Beijing to inspect.
On the evening of the fourth day of the second lunar month, the queen held a family banquet.
She came to invite me, but I also understood that I was not a family at all, and I would be a little ignorant if I went to the family banquet again, so I was polite, and then the prince also came to persuade me several times, but I refused.
In the evening, I heard a lively sound coming from the queen's residence, which had always been quiet, and the lights were bright until late.
The next day, the official beginning of spring, early in the morning, Miaoyan and I had just had breakfast, and Nian Shen came to the door.
He was wearing a new robe, looking very energetic, and as soon as he entered the door, he saluted me: "Aunt Qing." β
I smiled and said, "Yo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so heroic." β
He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he straightened up to look at me, and I also stroked his arm and said with a smile: "Your Highness's clothes are bright, I haven't seen Your Highness wear them before." β
"It was made for me by the queen mother, because this is my first time out of Beijing, and the queen mother let me wear it. β
I sighed: "The queen mother is really worried about her highness. β
"I also mentioned my face," Nian Shen said: "Just now after I went to bid farewell to my mother, she lectured me for a long time, and my knees hurt. β
I smiled and said, "Knee pain is a trivial matter, so does Your Highness remember?"
"Of course I remember," he said, "The queen mother also explained, Aunt Qing knows a lot, when I come to say goodbye to Aunt Qing, if Aunt Qing explains something, I have to remember it more deeply." β
"Did the Queen Mother say so?"
"yes, soβ" he said, taking a step back, and snorting at me again, "Aunt Qing has something to explain, just say it." Listen deeply. β
I couldn't help but laugh.
I thought that at this point, between me and Chang Qing, even if I don't turn against each other, there is still some mustard after all, but now it seems that mustard is indeed mustard, but what to do and what not to do, Chang Qing is still very clear.
After all, she is a clear, sober person.
Thinking of this, I gently took Nian Shen's hand and said, "What else does Aunt Qing have to explain, Your Royal Highness has grown up and can speak above the court, which is already what Aunt Qing is happy to see." What you have to do now is to keep your heart, always introspect, and never forget the path you should take because of temporary pride. β
Nian Shen listened to my words and nodded solemnly.
I asked, "How long will it take for you to come back?"
