Chapter 91: Concubine Lotus
There was only one emperor in the imperial study who was reviewing the folds, and several little fathers-in-law who were serving tea were holding their breath, for fear of disturbing the emperor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Your father-in-law walked up to the front gently, and while taking the tea handed by the little father-in-law and putting it in the emperor's hand, he said softly: "Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the Ninth has arrived and is waiting outside the door." β
The emperor made a few strokes on the fold with his pen, and approved the fold of disaster relief in the south, and then said, "Let him come in." The emperor picked up a book and read it, saying that it was a snow disaster in the north, and many people froze to death and frostbitten. The emperor counted the silver money books in the treasury in his mind, frowned, and hesitated for a while to put the red pen back on the table.
When Feng Jiutian came in, he saw the emperor's somewhat sad face.
"Erchen has seen his father."
"Flat."
"Why is my father so sad?"
"Hey!" The emperor sighed for a lifetime, stood up and paced with his hands in his hands, walked to a huge map hanging next to him, and then said: "Everyone says that this imperial power is supreme, but where do they understand my difficulties? This management of the country is also like the life of the people, in addition to those halos, more of the daily trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt. It is necessary not only to maintain the majesty of the country, but also to be careful in planning, and if it is not thoughtful, it will make the treasury empty, and tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. β
Although Feng Jiutian had never managed the country, the little dark dragon was still doing trivial things every day, and he could understand the deep meaning of the emperor's words. He nodded in agreement and asked, "What difficulties has my father encountered?" β
The emperor pointed to the pile of folds and said, "Look, half of these folds are from me for money and food. The floods in the south cost money, the snow disaster in the north cost money, and the border guards also had little money and food...... This east wants some and the west wants some, where will the silver taels in the treasury alone be enough? β
Feng Jiutian looked at the pile of twists and turns, and also frowned. It is not appropriate to be a small family, let alone manage the entire country and take care of tens of thousands of people.
The emperor looked at Feng Jiutian and felt that he was really old, he was a child who had just joined politics, where did he know this. Thinking about the purpose of calling him over today, he asked, "Jiu'er, the military department received a report from the Northwest Pass, do you know?" β
Feng Jiutian nodded: "Erchen already knows." β
The Emperor looked up at the large area above the map, where it was the vast grassland, and it was also the rear of the Northern Underworld. He said in a deep voice: "The old king of the Northern Hades has been killed, and the great prince of the Northern Hades, Agula, has usurped the throne and ascended the throne. The courtiers were again arguing, some were the main war, and some were the main peace. I'd like to hear what you think. β
The emperor turned his head to look at Feng Jiutian with an expectant expression.
Feng Jiutian thought for a moment before he said: "The Northern Hades have changed hands, the old Northern Hades King is dead, and all the tribes are probably scattered at this time." It will take time for Agoura to recover the ministries. Moreover, the old department of the three princes will definitely not give up, and I am afraid that the North Underworld will not be able to stop for a year and a half. β
The Emperor nodded, convinced. He said: "If you take this opportunity to attack the North Underworld, what does Jiu'er think?" β
Feng Jiutian shook his head and said solemnly: "First, our side is not well prepared, and it is not good for us to start a war rashly. β
Feng Jiutian looked at the pile of twists and turns, and said: "What's more, we also have so many difficulties, if we are not careful, we will become internal and external troubles." β
"Second, there is civil strife in the north, and all forces compete and consume each other. But once there is an invasion of foreign enemies, it will make the various departments of the Northern Underworld temporarily put aside their differences and work together to resist us, which is not beautiful. As for the battle with the Northern Underworld, Erchen thought it would be a matter of time. As a matter of urgency, our side should make adequate preparations before the war in case of contingencies. β
"Jiu'er is really sensible and thorough, much better than those old guys who only know how to fight, you really didn't disappoint me, nor did you disappoint your mother." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, very pleased.
Feng Jiutian heard his father mention his mother again, and he was afraid that he would be sad, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Father, the son wants to rearrange the affairs of the military department, I don't know what my father thinks?" β
The emperor patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should draw up a charter." I believe that as long as you are willing to put your heart into it, you will be able to achieve great things. β
Feng Jiutian saw his father's support, his heart was happy, and he said goodbye to the emperor and went back to the military department.
After the Nine Emperors left, the Emperor sighed and said to your father-in-law, "It's enough for the prince to have half the intelligence of the Nine Emperors." β
Where did your father-in-law dare to accept this, and comforted him very skillfully: "They are all good sons of Your Majesty, and the Emperor should be happy that His Royal Highness the Ninth can have the ability and ambition to contribute to the country." β
Your father-in-law didn't hear the emperor's reply, and when he looked up, he saw that the emperor was staring at a certain place in the distance, and his mind didn't know where to fly.
How did he know that the emperor at this time remembered the woman who had made him willing to risk the world to marry back - Feng Jiutian's mother concubine.
The emperor remembered that he had studied with the erudite Hongru Su since he was a child. Once at Lord Su's birthday banquet, I happened to see Lord Su's daughter Su Plaice, and I was shocked. It's a pity that Miss Su has given Mu Yi, the eldest son of the noble Mu family in the capital, since she was a child, and a drama with the courtiers fighting for wives unfolded like this.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he disregarded secular etiquette and religion, forcibly married Miss Su into the palace and was named Concubine Lian.
Later, Mu Yi, the son of the Mu family, resolutely resisted the family affairs arranged by the Mu family's parents, ran away from home, and claimed to have disowned the Mu family. He walked for three years.
And in the past three years, although the emperor has guarded the people in his heart every day. How can Luohua deliberately flow ruthlessly, Miss Su is concerned about her ex-fiancΓ©, treats the emperor indifferently, and has never committed to him.
No matter how strong the emperor is, he can't force other people's feelings. What's more, although he was angry, he also knew that he was unreasonable first, and he refused to force her, just looking forward to a long time and slowly reforming her.
Three years later, that Mu Yi didn't know where he learned martial arts, but he actually escaped the protection of countless royal forest troops, quietly sneaked into the palace, and found Miss Su.
Coincidentally, the emperor still sticks to Concubine Lotus every day these days, so he is very diligent in and out of Concubine Lian's Ganlu Palace. The emperor, who happened to arrive, hid in the shadows and heard the conversation between the two concubines.
The emperor resisted the urge to rush out to question Concubine Lian, and only asked someone to scare Mu Yi away, and then he came out and looked at Concubine Lian with a sad face.
Concubine Lian didn't expect the emperor to be at the scene, and she was stunned. Adultery between harem concubines and others is a major crime of raiding the family and destroying the door. Even if it was her former fiancΓ©, but now that she has married into the royal family, and then she has a private meeting with someone and even discusses how to escape, wouldn't she be a clear cuckold to the emperor of the Ninety-Five?
Concubine Lian thought that the emperor would no longer tolerate her, and she and her lover were afraid that they would not escape the death penalty, and even their families. But what she didn't expect was that although the emperor was sad, he gently exposed the matter and did not pursue her.
While Concubine Lian was uneasy, she was also moved by the emperor's deep affection.
After that, Mu Yi broke into the palace twice in succession, but was discovered and expelled by the Praetorian Guards sent by the emperor. When he broke into the palace for the third time, the emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered someone to lay a net. When Concubine Lian heard about it, she cried in front of the emperor and claimed: "As long as the emperor is willing to let Mu Yi go, she will be the emperor's real woman." (To be continued.) )
