Chapter 302: Coercion
After the Empress Dowager Jiang said this, she didn't say anything more, and even the queen on the side was anxious to persuade Li Zhi to be stopped by her eyes.
She knows her son too well, and some things still need to be handled by the emperor himself in the end, no matter what the outcome is. And what she can do, what she can do, is enough.
What can really make a man see a woman's heart clearly is not others, nor the man himself, but everything that the woman does independently.
Ye Nianchen's heart is not in the emperor, which the Empress Dowager Jiang has already understood, and she feels more and more that this woman has too much influence on the emperor, and it is not a good thing for the emperor.
Therefore, frankly speaking, Empress Dowager Jiang hopes that Ye Nianchen will never appear in front of the emperor from now on, since she took the initiative to choose to flee, it is better.
And time can easily dilute everything, no matter how much weight this woman occupies in the emperor's heart, it will not be worth all after all. As long as that woman never comes out again, one day the emperor will return to the trajectory that belongs to him, be a good emperor, and create a prosperous era that people can't look up to.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Jiang believes that for Li Zhi, the price of exchanging a short emotional injury for the great merits of the emperor in the future is also reasonable. What's more, that woman didn't have her emperor in her heart, and forcibly staying by her side would only be a greater torture for the emperor in the long run.
But now, her emperor has long grown up, and he has long reigned in the world and has his own imperial authority, not to mention personal emotions that are extremely intimate and important things that make people think about a lot, even if it is a small other thing. How can he be willing to obey the arrangements of others, even if it is his own mother.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Jiang is the smartest, she can let the emperor see some things that she is not willing to see clearly, but she can't make decisions on her behalf and force her decision!
"Okay, well, it turns out that it's all a lie all morning!" Li was extremely angry, panting heavily, and sat down, his whole face was terrifyingly black.
Now, if he can't understand everything, he will really be incompetent.
I thought it would. Last night's heartfelt words more or less moved Ye Nianchen in a daze. This made him willing to believe in him and be willing to think clearly about the future path.
But now, what he saw was clearly that Ye Nianchen bullied him with one lie after another to gain his trust. Then try your best to escape from this palace. Escape from him!
He really couldn't figure it out. Why did Ye Nianchen do this to him! What is so good about that Gu Mingyi, what is there that he can't compare! Why would Ye Nianchen rather risk his life to believe in Gu Mingyi than him? Why did he hold it in his hand wholeheartedly, but he still couldn't get the slightest touch and recognition from her?
"Your Majesty......" The queen still didn't hold back after all, and persuaded at the moment: "Your Majesty, don't be too angry." Watch out for dragon bodies. The concubine thought that even if Miss Ye really left the palace, there should still be the capital, if you want to get her back......"
didn't wait for the queen to finish speaking, but Li Zhi slapped the table and said loudly: "Enough!" Since she doesn't want to stay here, I'm going to find her to do something! Since she doesn't believe in my words at all, she can't wait to run out to find death, so let her fend for herself! ”
As soon as these words came out, Mo said that it was the queen, and even the Empress Dowager Jiang on the side couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect the emperor to react like this at all.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" Empress Dowager Jiang had to ask, but she was very sure that Li Zhi's words would not be sincere: "Ye Nianchen took advantage of the emperor's accession to the throne today to sneak out of the palace without saying goodbye, although she has done too much, but she is not a person in the palace after all, and it is not an unforgivable crime." The emperor didn't say these angry words, even if she left the palace, how could she run to find death. ”
"Queen Mother, what I said is not angry!"
Deacon Li let out a long sigh, and finally controlled his emotions a little in the face of Empress Dowager Jiang's inquiry, he stood up and said expressionlessly: "This matter, the queen mother doesn't have to worry about anything, let the sons and daughters handle it themselves." In short, please rest assured that the sons will take state affairs first and will never affect the important affairs of the court. ”
"Okay, if the emperor can think like this, the queen mother will be relieved." Seeing this, Empress Dowager Jiang didn't ask any more: "The queen mother can not care about anything, only ask the emperor to cherish the dragon body, and don't let the empress and the Chinese military minister of the dynasty worry too much for the emperor." ”
"Son-in-law remember that the queen mother repented, I still have government affairs to deal with, so I will retire first." After Li finished speaking, he didn't stay anymore, turned around and walked away.
Empress Dowager Jiang waved her hand, signaling that those palace people who were still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to move didn't need to kneel anymore, and they could do whatever they should do when they retreated.
These palace people all had a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and they were grateful to the Empress Dowager Jiang at the moment, and immediately retreated after saluting.
"What is the Queen thinking?" Turning her head sideways, Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at the queen with a lost face, sighed slightly and comforted: "You don't have to be unhappy, as the queen, you are the most noble woman in Great Wei." Sometimes how much glory a person bears, how much grievance he has to swallow, as a woman, as a woman in the palace, these are all fate! ”
"The queen mother, the concubine...... The concubines didn't dare to ask the emperor how much **** the concubines had, but sometimes they really couldn't help but envy Miss Ye. ”
The queen's eyes were confused, she didn't know where to look, she just muttered: "She doesn't have to do anything, but the emperor regards her as a treasure, even if she abandons the emperor's sincerity again and again, but the emperor still cares about her and loves her so much." In fact, the concubine really didn't want Miss Ye to stay in the palace and stay by the emperor's side, what woman in the world is willing to give her husband all her sincerity to other women? But the queen mother ......"
The queen cried silently, and her heart was extremely distressed: "But when I saw that the emperor was so sad because of Miss Ye, I would rather that woman choose to stay." ”
"Silly boy, you know what you said!" Empress Dowager Jiang took the queen's hand and said slowly: "Actually, don't think too much, just do a good job of this queen." Use your sincerity to the emperor, the queen mother believes that the emperor's heart will be warmed by you one day no matter how cold it is. ”
"Really?" The queen subconsciously asked, she didn't know what she was expecting, but she understood that no matter what the answer was, as the queen mother said, it was the only thing she could do.
Empress Dowager Jiang nodded herself, but who can say for sure if this is the case?
The only thing she knows is that the emperor is now a fan of the authorities, in fact, what is the difference between his situation and the queen's situation?
Maybe people. I like to toss like this. The more you toss, the more you can't let go, even if you are tossed and your head is broken, you still enjoy it, and you can't see the person who really loves you and treats you wholeheartedly in front of you.
"Your Majesty, you can have some food." In the Imperial Study. The chamberlains carefully persuaded their emperor to eat something.
Today's enthronement ceremony has been busy for so long. In addition to drinking a bowl of porridge in the morning, the emperor said. I haven't eaten anything else until now, and I just learned the news that Miss Ye is missing, and my mood is extremely low. After returning from the Empress Dowager's palace, he locked himself in the imperial study.
Seeing that Li Zhi didn't make a sound, he was still sitting there motionless, his expression numb, the waiter thought about it, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, if you are worried about Miss Ye, the slave will send someone to find it, even if you turn over this capital, it will ......."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi, who had not reacted all the time, finally raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more.
"Pass the decree and let the city gate guard strictly investigate everyone who leaves the city, and report her whereabouts as soon as she is discovered!" Li Zhi said word by word: "In addition, summon Liu Zitong, the general of southern Xinjiang, to enter Beijing immediately to meet him, and he must not delay for a moment!" ”
"Yes!"
The attendant received the decree at the moment, and at the same time, he instantly understood the holy will.
It seems that the emperor is planning to force Miss Ye to take the initiative to show up!
Under the strict guarding of the city gate, Ye Nianchen had no way to leave the capital, and the emperor simply did not make that effort to search for it, but quickly summoned Ye Nianchen's only uncle, the general Liu Zitong, into the palace to meet him, so that as long as Miss Ye learned the news, even if she was unwilling to show up, it was impossible to ignore this only uncle.
It seems that what the emperor said in the Queen Mother's palace before will no longer send someone to find it, and the words that let Miss Ye fend for herself are really angry words. This Ye girl really deeply stabbed the emperor's heart in one fell swoop today, otherwise, with the emperor's temperament, how could she easily use the important ministers of the court to persecute and coerce.
The inner legend quickly retreated, but Li Zhi closed his eyes extremely tired.
At this moment, he was not tired of his body, but his heart, which was dripping a little bit of blood.
He never wanted to do anything to force Ye Nianchen, but now it seems that he has no other choice!
No one knew that at that moment just now, when he knew the news that Ye Nianchen had escaped on the occasion of his enthronement ceremony, all his self-confidence, all his pride, and all his dignity completely collapsed and collapsed at that moment, shattered to pieces.
Ye Nianchen fled so quickly, so decisively, and so thoroughly, the real key reason was just because he was worried about Gu Mingyi, who didn't know where he was in the capital now!
He held her in his heart, but she was full of satisfaction that there was only one Gu Mingyi, and she didn't think about him at all, which was the saddest thing about Li Zhi.
Gu Mingyi, Gu Mingyi, how can you let me let you go?
The things in the palace couldn't be hidden, and what happened on the day of the enthronement ceremony the next day was quickly known by many people in the palace.
Xiaochenxuan's mother Zhou and the housekeeper in the house were very worried.
Now, they don't know where their young lady has gone, only that the young lady is gone, and she sneaked out of the palace yesterday and disappeared.
The palace sent people, but they didn't embarrass them, but they just stayed with them in the mansion, saying that they were ordered to do so, and once there was news of Miss Ye, they had to enter the palace immediately to report.
In addition, how Zhou's mother asked about other things was just a question and three questions.
Fortunately, looking at it like this, the young lady should be safe, but she shouldn't want to be found by the emperor, so she just found a place to hide.
"Mother, maybe Miss has left Beijing and secretly returned to Southern Xinjiang!" Xiaolan now knows her identity, and she is not exclusive to Zhou's mother.
A few days ago, the young lady asked people to arrange things in the house, although she didn't say it explicitly, she should be preparing to travel far away.
Now because he was summoned to the palace halfway, he was afraid that something happened temporarily and changed, so he had to escape and leave first.
"No way, Miss must still be in the capital." Mrs. Zhou shook her head, and said with certainty: "Since the new succession, the guards at the city gate have been very strict, and after Miss was found to be not in the palace yesterday, the city gate was even stricter, even if Miss wanted to secretly go out of the city and return to southern Xinjiang, she couldn't get out of the city at all. ”
None of them knew the news that Gu Mingyi had returned to the capital, and they didn't know where Gu Mingyi lived now, let alone that Ye Nianchen was with Gu Mingyi at the moment.
"That's right, so where is Miss now? Xiaolan sighed and said, "Miss must be in some big trouble, but it's a pity that we can't help at all." ”
"If you can't help, don't help, remember, if the young lady comes to us, it must be kept secret and no one knows." Mrs. Zhou said at the moment: "Now we can only wait and see what happens, guard the house for Miss, and wait for Miss to secretly send someone to contact us." ”
"Well, don't worry, mother, I know the weight of this." Xiao Lan was talking, but saw Steward De running in in a hurry.
"Oh no, no!" The German housekeeper continued to enter Mrs. Zhou and said: "Mother Zhou, I heard that the emperor has issued an edict to summon General Liu to enter Beijing immediately!" ”
"General Liu? Isn't that Miss's uncle? When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was immediately anxious: "This, is this news reliable?" Does the emperor want to use Miss's uncle as a hostage to force Miss to show up? How is this good, how is this good? Steward De, where did you hear this news, and I don't know if the young lady knows it, what can I do! ”
"The news is absolutely reliable, I just deliberately asked the person in the palace to drink a drink, and I overheard him mention it!" Steward De hurriedly explained.
Now that the young lady is gone, they are like they have no backbone, and they are really anxious to see that things are more and more worrying to them.
When Xiaolan heard this, she thought for a while and said: "Deber, mother, don't worry, in my opinion, this is good, I will secretly go to Sister Jasmine first, and tell Sister Jasmine all the situation here, according to the relationship between Sister Jasmine and Miss, maybe she has a way to find Miss secretly, so she can also report to Miss."
"I think it's okay, there's only one way to try our luck now, it's better than if we were in a hurry at this time!" Steward De nodded in agreement. (To be continued.) )
