1215 A strong minister, a helpless emperor
As for whether he will offend the emperor because of this, he is not worried at all.
He believes that his perfect daughter will definitely impress the emperor, as long as the emperor has feelings for Yan'er, or after Yan'er gives birth to a child, the emperor will naturally not blame him, and maybe he will appreciate him for sending such an outstanding daughter to the harem.
Besides, he is just competing with the emperor in this matter, in other aspects, he will never let himself make any big mistakes, and the emperor can still hate him for ten or five years because he got an outstanding beauty?
In short, he has survived for decades, and finally has the opportunity to completely turn over and become a top nobleman, and he will definitely not give in to death at such a critical juncture!
Xia Wusheng is a very ambitious man, and he has been planning for his ambitions, but when he heard Yan Ruyi say this, he was still a little frightened by Yan Ruyi's ambition.
He was originally born in the aristocracy, and it is normal to pursue a higher position of power, and he also has this qualification and capital, but what is Yan Ruyi?
Yan Ruyi is a real poor person, without any background and support, and has not befriended any prominent magnates and big figures, and suddenly became a generalissimo with a heavy army in just a few years, what an opportunity and glory? It's a step to the sky!
However, Yan Ruyi is still not satisfied?
He even wants to go straight to the Nine Heavens Cloud Night and become the emperor's father-in-law?
Perhaps, what Yan Ruyi really wants to be is not the emperor's father-in-law, but the emperor's grandfather, right?
Think about it, Yan Ruyi has a heavy army, if his daughter really becomes the imperial concubine and gives birth to a dragon son, especially the eldest son, wouldn't he have a great chance and ability to support his grandson to inherit the throne?
When the time comes...... Xia Wusheng couldn't help but sweat just thinking about it, and at the same time he had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
This Yan Ruyi is too terrible and ambitious, if he really succeeds, one day the court will become Yan Ruyi's palm!
He is the Duke of Xia Guo, the emperor's uncle, and his ambition and his aristocratic status cannot accept such a result!
He looked at Yan Ruyi dumbfounded, and said after a while: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will really approve your resignation, so that your decades of hard work will be wasted?" ”
Yan Ruyi said lightly: "I have served the country for more than 30 years, if the emperor doesn't even refuse such a small request, what else can I mean when I am the generalissimo?" Besides, my daughter is really good, I dedicated such a good daughter to the emperor, which represents my love and loyalty to the emperor, if the emperor does not accept it, he will not look down on me, why should I sell this life. ”
Xia Wusheng said after a while: "There is really no room for maneuver in this matter?" Didn't the emperor say that he can fulfill your other wishes, why should you be obsessed with this? ”
Yan Ruyi shook his head: "I only have this one wish, no matter how much Xia Guogong says, I won't change anything." ”
Xia Wusheng took a deep breath, stood up, and arched his hand: "My father understands, my father won't say more, I just hope that Marshal Yan can take into account the overall situation, think about it carefully, and don't make a decision that you regret." ”
Yan Ruyi also stood up and politely returned the salute: "Although Ben Shuai will not change his mind, Ben Shuai is still grateful for Xia Guogong's kindness and welcomes Xia Guogong to come to Yan Mansion often as a guest in the future." ”
Xia Wusheng said "hehe" twice, noncommittal, but said: "It's getting late, and my father will leave." ”
Then he walked so fast that he didn't want to see this guy from a poor background but with ambitions higher than the sky.
After leaving the Yan Mansion, he sat in the carriage, and his heart was extremely angry and unwilling.
A martial artist from a poor background wants to be the emperor's father-in-law, and he also wants to be the future emperor's grandfather? is even more arrogant, arrogant, and conceited than him, a prince from an orthodox aristocratic background, and he can't bear it!
Thinking of this, he ignored the fact that it was almost midnight and said to the coachman, "Go to the palace." ”
When he arrived at the palace, Qiu Guhan was still in the imperial study to review the folds, and he was not tired at all.
After Xia Wusheng saw the emperor, he almost couldn't control his anger, truthfully conveyed Yan Ruyi's meaning, and then said angrily: "Your Majesty, this Yan Ruyi has soldiers in his hands, and he doesn't take the emperor in his eyes at all, and he is not worthy of being a minister of the king at all!" He didn't want to think about it, all the qiē he had now was given by the emperor, and he really thought that he earned it by himself? The emperor should ......"
"Xia Guogong, don't teach me how to do it." Qiu Guhan interrupted him lightly, "It's late, you go back, don't mention this matter in the future." ”
Xia Wusheng thought that he could take this opportunity to express his loyalty, but before the topic could be developed, he was called back by the emperor, and said in a sneering manner: "The minister, the minister has not done this well, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Qiu Guhan said: "This matter is not up to you to decide, what are you guilty of?" Let's go back. ”
Xia Wusheng didn't dare to say anything more: "The minister retired." ”
Then, Qiu Guhan sat alone in the study, leaning back against the dragon chair, clasping his fingers, and said calmly: "Uncle Yin." ”
"Uncle Yin" was what he called Elder Yin in private, and to this day, he didn't know Elder Yin's name, but he didn't ask either.
All he needed was to know that Elder Yin genuinely supported him.
Elder Yin walked out from behind the curtain, hugged his fists, and said, "What Xia Guogong said should be the truth. ”
Xia Guogong's trip to see Yan Ruyi was under the surveillance of the spies from the Military Aircraft Department, although the spies did not hear the conversation between the two with their own ears, they could still judge from many clues whether what Xia Guogong said was true or false.
Qiu Guhan's eyes flashed with exhaustion: "You go down, continue to send people to stare at Yan Ruyi." ”
Then, he was the only one left in the study.
He pressed his temples, sat for a long time, slowly stood up, walked out of the imperial study, and ordered the eunuch close to him: "Prepare for the chariot and go back to the Qianhua Palace." ”
He imagined that Yan Ruyi might be proud and unwilling to give in, but he still thought that this possibility was not very likely, and as a result, before even a day had passed, Yan Ruyi gave a final reply strongly.
This made him realize once again that his control and authority over the court and courtiers were still too weak, but now, he was fledgling, and he really couldn't handle these important ministers and generals with real power.
The night breeze was light, but his mood was heavy, and his brow could not relax.
To his surprise, as soon as he got down in front of the Qianhua Palace, a little eunuch ran up: "Your Majesty, the queen is waiting for you." ”
He was stunned: "The queen is waiting for me in the Qianhua Palace?" ”
The little eunuch nodded: "The queen has been waiting for the emperor for a long time, if the emperor does not come back, I am afraid that the mother will keep waiting." ”
Qiu Guhan quickly stepped into the palace gate and went straight to the main hall.
The lights were on in the main hall, and Feng Jinghua was wearing a white robe, sitting at the table, and was arranging troops on the sand table for a while.
