It's a coincidence, but I'm afraid that no one in this room will believe it.

Fu Rui's identity on the face, although she is the daughter of the eldest princess and the daughter of the grandfather of the country, plus she has the title and fief given by the emperor himself, she is noble enough, but in addition to the dignity, there seems to be no other real place.

Such a person, used to make peace, his identity is noble enough, and he is not afraid of what impact he will have on the court after making peace, and on the surface, he looks like he is the best candidate.

But Fu Yuan's identity is not as simple as it seems on the surface, perhaps it should be said that the forces controlled by the eldest princess of Jinyang are not as simple as they are on the surface. In this life, the eldest princess of Jinyang is not harmonious, and she is not close to her relatives in the palace, the only thing she cares about is her own children.

It's just because half of the forces in the Yanzhen Army are now in the hands of the imperial court, and the other half of the forces, named Wen Jinghui, are actually in the hands of the eldest princess of Jinyang. And among them, obviously this half, is really the majority.

The Northern Desert Royal Court will directly mention that Furao and his relatives are just afraid that he will be mentioned by someone.

The eldest princess of Jinyang had already thought of this, and after Wen Jinghui said those words, she only sneered and said: "Who is the mastermind behind this scene, you and I know it well, then Yang Ming is only afraid that he has already become a traitor." ”

Wen Jinghui heard the words of the eldest princess of Jinyang, sighed lightly, and said that Yang Ming was a traitor, which was actually a bit too exaggerated. Yang Ming is now in a high position, and he has come to this position step by step, how can he do the thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall, at most, he is just using the Northern Desert to drill camp in the court. Although this matter involves the Northern Desert, it will never rise to the level of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

However, Wen Jinghui naturally won't defend Yang Ming, today's court, the most aggressive civil officials are actually from Yang Ming's disciples: "If Yang Ming's plan is limited to this, it's fine, I'm afraid that Yang Ming will have any tricks." ”

And this latter move was not aimed at them, but at the emperor.

Today is the day of rest, and he does not go to the morning court, but Zhao Jinyan, as the emperor, is not empty, as in the past, after getting up early, he simply had breakfast, and he began to review the folds in the imperial study.

There haven't been many twists and turns in recent days, at least not too many twists and turns on the case at this time. Zhao Jin didn't take more than an hour, and he finished reviewing all the twists and turns, he has always liked to do things in one go, and he was so engrossed in that hour that he didn't even drink a sip of tea.

And after reviewing the folds, seeing that the sky was already bright, Zhao Jinyan took the warm towel handed by the eunuch and wiped his face, and only opened his mouth and ordered: "It's almost hour, go to the palace of the emperor and grandmother to say goodbye!" ”

"Yes."

The personal eunuch responded continuously.

However, before Zhao Jinyan got up, a little eunuch walked in at the door and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen asks to see you." ”

When Zhao Jinyan heard this, he stopped, pondered slightly, nodded his head, and said one word: "Pass!" ”

The little eunuch said that the Lord Chen who came to see him was a member of the first rank of the dynasty, and when the emperor was alive, he made him a scholar, although he was not responsible for him, but he trusted him very much, and he would discuss anything important. When the emperor handed over the government affairs in his hands to Zhao Jinyan, he also focused on this Lord Chen.

As a minister left behind by the emperor, and an adult who is dedicated to the emperor and the royal family, Zhao Jinyan has given the necessary respect.

Nothing to do but ascend to the Eight Treasures Palace, this Lord Chen has been strongly supporting Zhao Jinyan since Zhao Jinyan ascended the throne, although he has always strongly supported Zhao Jinyan in his actions in the court, but it is the first time to do such a conspicuous thing in private as this.

Zhao Jinyan actually guessed the other party's intentions in his heart, but he was afraid that it had something to do with yesterday's events.

When Lord Chen walked in, Zhao Jinyan didn't say anything, just sat on the dragon chair to meet him.

After Lord Chen entered the house, he respectfully bowed to Zhao Jinyan, and did not say any nonsense, and directly expressed his intention: "Your Majesty, Weichen asked to see him this time, just for one thing, to ask the emperor to ask the envoy of the Northern Desert to ask for relatives." ”

Zhao Jinyan heard this, and spoke, but just looked at Lord Chen.

And Lord Chen raised his head fearlessly, met Zhao Jinyan's gaze, and still said respectfully: "Yesterday, Weichen didn't speak, since he saw that behind this matter, there must be some clues, but after returning home and thinking about it, he found that this matter was beneficial and harmless. ”

"Master Chen means ......"

Zhao Jinyan asked in a calm tone.

And Lord Chen slowly explained: "When the first emperor was alive, he once told Weichen about something, and he didn't want His Royal Highness the first prince to be like him and not be able to control the entire court. The emperor should understand the meaning of the emperor, and Weichen believes that the emperor's expectations for the emperor are no different from those of the prince. ”

Lord Chen's words are actually not rules, and they are a little bold, but Zhao Jinyan did not speak, just listened silently.

Seeing this, Lord Chen continued to speak boldly: "The first emperor was benevolent and felt guilty about the eldest princess of Jinyang, so he has been in power for many years and has not touched the power in the hands of the eldest princess of Jinyang. Even the eldest princess of Jinyang is a favor, but a female streamer, and a princess who is outside the court, controls this power, which is actually harmful to the court and the country. ”

Lord Chen's words, Zhao Jinyan still did not express any opinion. In fact, why did the emperor let the eldest princess of Jinyang control this power in the first place, saying that he was guilty, maybe he was more helpless, although Zhao Jinyan only knew about these things after sitting in this position, but he was not a fool. If the first emperor really let it go out of guilt, then he would not have been so ambivalent about the attitude of the eldest princess of Jinyang over the years, both honorable and defensive, and allowed Xia Yuelang to be abolished, of course, he would not have promoted Yang Ming, who had something to do with the abolished queen, again and again over the years.

"Since Lord Chen knows the inside story, he knows that it is impossible for me to let Fu Rui marry in the Northern Desert and relatives, if Fu Rui falls into the hands of the Northern Desert Royal Court, I am afraid that the influence of the court on the country will only be very important." Zhao Jinyan didn't want to talk about these old things, he just pointed out the facts objectively.

When Lord Chen heard this, he responded with a smile: "What the emperor said is reasonable, but if the lord of Nanyi County is allowed to marry the Northern Desert, it will not be a big blow to the power in the hands of the eldest princess of Jinyang." ”

How much power is in the hands of the eldest princess of Jinyang, I am afraid that even the emperor himself does not know, from the intentional neglect of guilt at the beginning, until the helpless indulgence later, and because of the identity of the eldest princess of Jinyang, all the forces are not seen in the ground, except for herself, I am afraid that no one can know how much power she has in her hands. But whether it is Zhao Jinyan or Lord Chen, they actually know that among these forces, the most feared is the power controlled by the eldest princess of Jinyang in the Yanzhen army, if the influence of the eldest princess of Jinyang can be weakened in this, the other forces are not to be afraid.

The Yanzhen Army was the Xia Family Army back then, and although it fell apart later, and now each is its own master, but the grudge between the Yanzhen Army and the Northern Desert over the years cannot be changed.

If Xia Furui marries into the Northern Desert Royal Court, it is inevitable that the attitude of the eldest princess of Jinyang will change because of this, so this is an opportunity, the faction of the Yanzhen army that is loyal to the eldest princess of Jinyang is to be heartfelt to the eldest princess of Jinyang, and I am afraid that the grudge with the northern desert will not be eliminated because of this...... And that's what they need.

Of course, taking a step back, Xia Furui can also be completely discordant, and it depends on what the eldest princess of Jinyang will come up with in exchange.

On weekdays, Zhao Jinyan naturally would not have had such a good opportunity to persecute the eldest princess of Jinyang, but now that the two factions in the DPRK and China are more powerful, Zhao Jinyan, the emperor who has not yet controlled the government, has become the key.

Of course, although there is a suspicion of taking advantage of the situation, the situation is pressing, and extraordinary things are done at extraordinary times.

Lord Chen's idea, although it is a bit despicable, is indeed for Zhao Jinyan's consideration, and if it is really implemented, the two-handed plan can be said to be foolproof, but Zhao Jinyan did not express his position on this, but just said: "It's too early to say anything about this matter, I have my own conclusion." ”

When Zhao Jinyan said this, he didn't mean to express his position.

Although Lord Chen has followed the new emperor for a short time, he can actually understand the temperament of this king, who seems to be indifferent and ruthless, but in fact he values love and righteousness, but he is afraid that he will hesitate in her heart, and she still wants to persuade something, but the non-pros and cons have been analyzed clearly, and it is useless to say more.

Lord Chen has been deeply trusted by the king over the years, in addition to loyalty, there is also one of the most commendable things, that is, he always remembers his identity, he is just a courtier, and the courtier can only give advice to the king, and the person who really makes decisions is still the king. If a minister dictates the king's decision, he is no longer a minister and cannot be called loyal.

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Jinyan's words, Lord Chen didn't say anything more, only respectfully bowed to Zhao Jinyan, got up and retreated.

After this conversation, which can be called a hidden conversation between the monarch and the minister, the eunuch who had been following Zhao Jinyan leaned over and stood on the side, as if he were an ornament.

It wasn't until a long time after Lord Chen left that Zhao Jinyan ordered his subordinates: "Go to the emperor's grandmother to say goodbye." ”

"Yes."

The eunuch didn't say a word, and hurriedly bowed down to agree.

Before Zhao Jinyan sat on the throne, he was always just a transparent prince, although he would greet his elders every day, but he always followed behind the former prince, but he didn't show any filial piety. Now that the first prince has passed away, he has become the master of this palace, and his every move is the focus of attention of everyone in the palace. And the act of greeting the Empress Dowager every day, of course, was soon discovered by everyone, and for a while, it was only rumored in the palace that the emperor was pure and filial.

Of course, Zhao Jinyan is indeed filial, he asks for peace every day, and he doesn't pull it every day, if he really doesn't go that day, it's a little strange.

Today, Zhao Jinyan is also the same as in the past, and he went to the palace of the Empress Dowager to ask for peace and accompanied the Empress Dowager to speak. may be intentional, although the influence of the empress dowager in the court over the years is still far-reaching, but the two ancestors and grandchildren have never said something related to the court, as if they have reached a tacit understanding.

Zhao Jinyan will care about the body of the Empress Dowager, will care about the daily life of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is the same, these things, if you want to talk about them in detail, there are a lot, you can talk about it for a long time, that is, today, most of the time to ask for peace, it is also a deep greeting, and when the words come to the end, the Empress Dowager today is a rare sentence: "The mourning family seems to have heard that someone asked Fu Hui yesterday?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Jinyan might as well that the Empress Dowager would suddenly mention this, and after being stunned for a moment, she immediately answered.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she smiled kindly, looked at Zhao Jinyan and said softly: "In the blink of an eye, Hibiscus is also older, she will be able to reach next year, and it is time for her to look at each other." It is said that when the child was born, the mourning family looked for the late host of Xiangguo Temple and saw her fate, at that time, the life of the master of the net holding of the straight path of Fu Hui was unspeakably expensive, but our child, which life will be bad! ”

Zhao Jinyan listened quietly and did not speak.

And the Empress Dowager seemed to recall the past, and said with a smile: "However, the mourning family turned their heads and thought about it, this pure master's words, I am afraid that there is another deep meaning, so many people in our royal family are looking for the master to approve their lives, and I haven't seen the master say that their lives are unspeakably expensive!" This woman's family, living well in her mother's family, is not good, only if she marries someone, marries a wishful husband, her husband loves her, and her children and grandchildren are full, then it is called a real good life, Your Majesty, what you said about the mourning family is right? ”

"Yes."

Zhao Jinyan responded gently.

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face deepened slightly, and she said softly: "Fu Hui, this child, has been well-behaved and lovely since she was a child, and anyone who sees her can't help but hurt her more, but this child is still a grateful person, which makes people feel even more distressed......"

When she said this, the Empress Dowager sighed softly, "If you let others go to get married, the mourning family is a little worried, but Furui, a child, has known compassion since he was a child, and the mourning family is not worried." ”

"Imperial Grandmother ......"

Zhao Jinyan obviously had a little shock on his face, he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would suddenly say such a sentence, the words of the Empress Dowager made him think that the Empress Dowager was reluctant to let Furao intercede for Fleur, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would finally choose to support Furao to go to the Northern Desert and kiss.

Zhao Jinyan was silent for a while, looked at the Empress Dowager and suddenly asked: "The Northern Desert and the capital are far apart, and the two countries are ...... If Furao's cousin really marries in the Northern Desert, I am afraid that it will be difficult to set foot on her homeland in her lifetime. It is difficult for grandmothers to reunite their grandchildren in this life......"

"yes!" The smile on the face of the Empress Dowager gradually disappeared, she looked at Zhao Jinyan, and said softly: "The mourning family has lived long enough in this life, and has encountered too many life and death, among them, there are enemies of the mourning family, and there are also the closest relatives of the mourning family. ”

After the Empress Dowager said this, she suddenly reached out and held Zhao Jinyan's hand, and said softly: "Jinyan, your eldest brother has always been gentle and elegant in dealing with people, but you are cold and self-controlled, but the mourning family can see that you are actually more affectionate and righteous than your eldest brother...... The mourning family will never question or wonder about this, your eldest brother has been cultivated as the heir to the throne since he was a child, and the person who sits in this position can be affectionate, but he must not be trapped by affection. You are not as good as your eldest brother, and you have a long way to go. ”

"Imperial Grandmother ......"

Zhao Jinyan's face was slightly moved, but the Empress Dowager stopped Zhao Jinyan's words and didn't let him continue, but said: "Your father was also a soft-hearted person back then, but later, he regretted it, and it was too late, he didn't wait for this opportunity to make up for it, so he always hoped that his future heir could make up for his regrets." Jin Yan, you have the opportunity to be the most qualified king. ”

The Empress Dowager's words made Zhao Jinyan completely silent.

He didn't speak, and the Empress Dowager didn't speak again after saying these words, she just looked at Zhao Jinyan and said softly: "Fu Hui hasn't been in the palace for some time, so let her enter the palace tomorrow to accompany the mourning family!" ”

When the Empress Dowager talked about Fleur, her face was tender and full of love, and she couldn't see it at all, and she was the one who said that she was the one who said that.

She sighed softly, looked at Zhao Jinyan, who was sitting next to her expressionlessly, and said again: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are some things, you don't have to think too much, and you don't need to think too badly, maybe Fu Rui herself would prefer to marry the Northern Desert Royal Court, we are just mediocre people!" ”

The Empress Dowager's words made Zhao Jinyan raise his head, he looked at the Empress Dowager, but said softly: "What the imperial grandmother said is right, Fu Hui may say that she is willing to marry the Northern Desert Royal Court, but ...... I also believe that if Fluff had said that, she would have decided not to do it willingly. It is said that the homeland is difficult to leave, and there are her relatives and friends in the capital, if it is not to the point of necessity, who can say that she is willing to leave her homeland. ”

"So what, a woman has to leave home after all, leave the familiar environment to become familiar with another unfamiliar environment, turn strangers into familiar people, and even become their own relatives." When the Empress Dowager said this, although she had a warm smile on her face, her eyes revealed coldness.

She looked at Zhao Jinyan, shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "Every woman comes like this, and there are a few women in the world who can have a good life without going through this." ”

Listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Zhao Jinyan unconsciously clenched his fists, he stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Imperial grandmother, I am talking to you, I don't want my cousin to be like those women, my cousin, she deserves the best in the world." ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she shook her head with a smile, and there seemed to be a trace of contempt in her eyes: "What you said, the emperor also told the mourning family back then, and he said to the mourning family, Yin'er...... Your aunt Jin Yang is his sister, the daughter of the mourning family, and deserves to be the envy of women in the world, he even said to Jin Yang that he would let Jin Yang have a lover and eventually become a family, but in the end, it was he who personally smashed the dream woven for Jin Yang. Your Majesty, there are some things that you can't promise, so don't say them, that will only make people more sad. ”

"The emperor can think about it, that is, you are willing to miss this opportunity, but if you refuse to make peace, I am afraid that there are many ministers in the court who will not agree. Obviously, it is a good thing that is beneficial and harmless, why should you refuse, Your Majesty. Although you are the emperor, you must not act willfully because of selfish desires. ”
