Chapter 399: Contradictory
The palace people couldn't help but laugh and endure very hard, such as Lu Ying, Mo Yu, these high-grade female officials, they had already laughed and bent over.
But the two of them were still serious, as if they were discussing a major event.
Cui Keyin made a contemplative appearance, looked like she was thinking seriously, and then said in a consultative tone: "If the emperor really doesn't know how to handle flowers and plants, it's okay to change it." It's better for the emperor to tell the concubines, it's good, why did you put your cousin in prison. Even if it's a concubine. β
After so many days, this matter has always been in her heart. Zhou Heng wiped his forehead and said, "Yin Yin, it's not that I said you, let the past pass, why don't you always fail to cross this hurdle?" Isn't Dunwen full of streets? Could it be that the emperor of my dignity asked a five-grade official to go around the prison, and he still had to explain it to you? β
In any case, he wouldn't tell her the truth, how could he help Tang Lun pierce this layer of window paper.
This seems to be very reasonable, and people who don't know hear it think it's Cui Keyin's chicken belly, and they don't let it go.
Lu Ying saw that although Zhou Heng's tone was smiling, his words were very serious, and she was afraid that Cui Keyin would not be able to hang on her face, so she hurriedly led the palace people to withdraw and put down the curtain.
Cui Keyin's eyes were red and she said, "Is the emperor saying that I am quite unreasonable?" β
If you can pretend, won't I? As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and after getting along with Zhou Heng for a long time, Cui Keyin was unconsciously influenced by him, and his temperament, which was indistinguishable in the past, gradually became lively.
Zhou Heng was pretending, and suddenly saw Cui Keyin's eyes red. It seemed to be very sad, and he was so distressed that he hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm joking with you." Then he changed the topic and said, "Do you remember what I told you, I want to show you the magnificent mountains and rivers." You can arrange it first, and we can leave in a few days. β
"Does the emperor really want to drive the expedition in person? There are generals in the court, so you might as well send them to quell the rebellion. Let's go on a hunting patrol in the future. Cui Keyin sat beside him, pressed his slender hand lightly on his forearm, looked like a little bird, and said, "Then the courtiers will not object." β
The emperor went out to patrol and hunt. Collectively referred to as hunting patrols. But. The historian is the venerable, and the emperor is also called "patrolling" when he is captured, like Emperor Zhi'an, who was captured by Zeng Xian and committed suicide. It will go down in history as "patrolling the north". And unfortunately died.
Cui Keyin is talking about hunting here. But it is a real sense of patrolling the territory, inspecting the people's feelings, and enbunning Size.
Zhou Heng frowned and said, "Don't you want to be a relative?" Didn't you read what the second brother said in the text? Do you want to confess to the charge of usurpation? β
The legitimacy of the emperor's succession to the throne cannot be desecrated. There is no room for rumors. Throughout the ages, many emperors who have not been on the throne have always racked their brains to state the rationality of their own succession, and some even did not hesitate to tamper with the history books.
Zhou Heng is above board, so naturally he doesn't have to do these dirty things, but Zhou Kang fought back, saying that he usurped the throne, which was unbearable.
Cui Keyin understood that his heart was knotted there, and said, "Didn't my cousin refute the text to the fullest?" β
Feng Shiqi sent the fold to the capital with the text, and Zhou Heng immediately ordered Tang Lun to refute it one by one and publish it all over the world. Who in the whole country can stand shoulder to shoulder with Tang Lun? As soon as the two articles are compared, Zhou Kang's essay looks naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
Cui Keyin thought that it was enough to refute Zhou Kang speechless in front of the world, and he couldn't risk his life.
Zhou Heng took the map, spread it on the kang table, hugged Cui Keyin on his lap, drew an arc on the west side of the map with his fingers, and said: "We set off from the capital, all the way to the west, after pacifying the rebels, then turn north, inspect the north, and then return to Beijing, do you think it?" β
"In this way, we will not have a short time to leave Beijing." Cui Keyin muttered: "Who does the emperor entrust government affairs to? β
Looking at the ministers of the DPRK and China, who can entrust government affairs and who can defend the capital?
Zhou Heng was obviously confident, and said: "Uncle naturally wants to follow me personally, and the government affairs can be handed over to the eldest uncle." β
Cui Zhenyi is a decent person, and most importantly, he is loyal and will not usurp the throne and stand on his own. And Zhou Heng has a secret agent in his hand, and this secret agent's continuous flow of information is enough to ensure that Cui Zhenyi can be killed as soon as he makes any changes.
There is another reason to pick him, he is Cui Keyin's maiden parent, with his love for Cui Keyin, he will definitely not break his word and get fat, plus Mrs. Zhang is in Beijing, which can be regarded as double insurance. Of course, these calculations are too realistic and cruel, and Zhou Heng will not talk to Cui Keyin in detail.
What kind of person is Cui Keyin, not to mention that he was born in a big family, and he has read a lot of books since he was a child, how can he not understand the emperor's mental skills? After contemplating slightly, Zhou Heng's unfinished meaning was already clear in his chest.
"Since the emperor has made arrangements, the concubines will obey the order." She said.
Zhou Heng said happily: "It's good for Yin Yin to agree." β
How can the ministers help him? What he is worried about is just that Cui Keyin does not support it.
The two were talking about the scenery along the way to the west, and the outside was green and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Cui asks to see you." β
"Uncle is here?" The couple looked at each other and smiled, and they both said, "It's a coincidence." β
Cui Zhenyi had a Chinese face, his waist was straight, and he walked in all directions and came to Anhua Palace. As soon as the curtain was opened, he walked around the screen and saluted: "See the emperor and Niangniang." β
Zhou Heng sat down and accepted his salute, but Cui Keyin stepped forward to help him when he was about to salute, and said, "Uncle, please take a seat." β
Cui Zhenyi didn't sit down, and said: "Niangniang's biological father died early, and the minister is like Niangniang's father. β
Cui Keyin glanced at Zhou Heng with a smile and said, "Is the eldest uncle here to persuade the emperor not to levy in person?" β
"Exactly." Cui Zhenyi stroked his chest and long beard, and said: "As a foreign relative, do you dare to think about the emperor and the mother?" I also asked the mother to persuade the emperor not to go to the battlefield easily. β
After the dispersal of the court, the courtiers discussed it once, and their opinions were unprecedentedly unanimous, and they all said that they could not let Zhou Heng drive the expedition in person no matter what, or they could persuade the emperor to change his mind, that is, they were not the courtiers, and they would not see the emperors of the past dynasties in Huangquan after their deaths.
Cui Zhenyi was even more depressed, everyone said that the emperor obeyed the queen's words, and the candidate for this persuasion was the queen. The queen is from his family. He went to Anhua Palace to ask for a meeting, and originally wanted to do Cui Keyin's ideological work, but he didn't expect Zhou Heng to come one step ahead of him instead of being in the Jinshen Palace. The main man is present, how can he say this?
Cui Keyin said with a smile: "The emperor persuaded me to follow him on the expedition." But my uncle asked me to persuade the emperor not to get into danger. I'm really torn between a few sides. β
"What?!" Cui Zhenyi was taken aback and said, "The emperor wants to take his mother to drive in person?" How does this work? β
Colleagues still thought that the emperor wanted to take charge of the imperial expedition and entrust the government affairs to the queen. The more fierce courtiers had already uttered the words "Chicken Si Chen". But he didn't expect that Zhou Heng would not only take the danger lightly, but also take his family Keyin with him. Cui Zhenyi made a decision all of a sudden, his head could be broken, blood could be shed, and it was absolutely impossible for him to agree. (To be continued.) )
