Chapter 639: Embattled
"So, the queen mother and Princess Rui, they were all killers of Lingshui Palace before?" Su Miao's eyes widened and she asked in surprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liang Shuo did not answer her, but continued with his own words:
"In the years before the death of the Empress Dowager Duanjing, the battle for the head of the Lingshui Palace was very fierce, and the Empress Dowager Duanjing did not stop it but watched coldly. I don't know what the purpose of the Empress Dowager Duanjing is, she handed over the position of the head of Lingshui Palace to Princess Rui, who was married at the time. ”
"Isn't Lingshui Palace in charge of the queens of the past dynasties, even if there was no queen at that time, wasn't the emperor already married at that time, and no matter what, it shouldn't be given to Princess Rui."
"At that time, there was indeed no queen, the first emperor's Empress Zhaohui had passed away before the death of the Empress Dowager Duanjing, as for me, I was not a prince at that time, and the queen was naturally just a princess, and the status of Princess Rui was the same." Liang Shuo replied lightly.
"Princess Rui and Queen Mother, who is more powerful?" Su Miao asked curiously.
Liang Shuo glanced at her: "It depends on what you are referring to, in terms of leadership skills, it is naturally the queen who is powerful; In terms of ruthlessness, no one can compare to Wei Xinyan; If it is about assassination, the most powerful is Hui Xiang, when she was thirteen years old, she was the strongest assassin in Lingshui Palace, and there was no one she couldn't assassinate. The most fatal thing about the queen is her kindness, and the most regrettable thing about the fragrance is that she has no ambition to fight for power and profit. Wei Xinyan is ruthless and ambitious, which is indeed very similar to the Empress Dowager Duanjing, and it is not surprising that the Empress Dowager Duanjing finally chose her to be in charge of Lingshui Palace. ”
Although Liang Shuo said that it was not a strange thing, Su Miao felt that this matter was a bit strange, because Lingshui Palace was handed over to the queen in the past dynasties, and it is said that Wei Xinyan became the princess Rui because the Empress Dowager Duanjing gave marriage, since it was the Empress Dowager Duanjing who gave the marriage, the Empress Dowager Duanjing had the meaning to hand over the position of the head of Lingshui Palace to Wei Xinyan, and the previous directors of Lingshui Palace were queens...... Su Miao thought about it for a long time, and her heart became inexplicably excited, and she shivered.
"It's so hot in this room, you're cold?" Liang Shuo saw her shiver, opened his mouth, and asked.
Su Miao smiled wryly, she suddenly didn't want to ask any more.
Liang Shuo said to himself: "After the death of the Empress Dowager Duanjing, Wei Xinyan carried out drastic changes in Lingshui Palace, Lingshui Palace no longer only accepts women, and Lingshui Palace is no longer hidden in the dark, Wei Xinyan spread it out under the eyes of everyone and turned it into a supervision yamen directly under the emperor. In terms of means and ability, Wei Xinyan is indeed not bad, although her leadership charm is not as good as Xinlan's at all, if Xinlan hadn't handed over half of the rights of Lingshui Palace to Wei Xinyan before her death, Wei Xinyan would not have been so smooth when she took over Lingshui Palace, but there is one point that Xinlan is not as good as her, Wei Xinyan will never be emotional, she will not be swayed by anyone. I recognize her abilities, but it's a pity that she's too greedy......"
When he said the last sentence, Liang Shuo's voice was low, so low that it was almost inaudible.
Su Miao was inexplicably a little nervous, and was hesitating in her heart whether to find an excuse to retreat back to sleep, at this moment, Qian Dehai walked in quickly from outside with a pale face, and presented an urgent report to Liang Shuo, although he was trying to calm down, Su Miao still heard nervousness and panic in his low voice:
"Emperor Qi, General Song sent an urgent report, last night when the sea bandit ships of the Kexi Kingdom suddenly attacked our country's Dingning Port, and two hours later sailed into five hundred warships, Dingning Port was lost, and now General Song retreated to Pingyi Port, blocking the entire route, but because of the large number of enemy warships, General Song's naval combat strength is insufficient, and he wrote to request reinforcements."
Liang Shuo glanced at the urgent report handed over by Qian Dehai, but he didn't open it, as if he had expected it, he was very calm and calm, he just smiled coldly, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"A bandit country is a bandit country, and it is the most suitable thing to do while the fire is burning."
Su Miao stared at his face, his heart was pounding, the border war, the domestic rebellion, and now even the Kosi country has a foot in the sea, this is no longer as simple as being embattled by the enemy, this is the rhythm that is going to end...... She's only starting to have such worries now, could it be that she has landed at the wrong time?
Qian Dehai stood aside uneasily, the emperor did not have any instructions, even he, an old man who had served the emperor for many years, couldn't react for a while to what the emperor meant, he was very uneasy.
Liang Shuo glanced at him, Qian Dehai was very loyal, but unfortunately his behavior was too conservative, and his conservative behavior eventually led to his timidity and prudence, the good thing is that he will not be greedy for bad things, and the bad place, sometimes Liang Shuo will feel angry and funny when he looks at him.
"What are you doing standing? I am seriously ill, life and death are unpredictable, and now that the prince is in charge of the country, if you don't take such a military report to the prince, what will you do for me? Still counting on me to give him a few ideas when he is lingering on the sickbed? Liang Shuo said angrily.
Qian Dehai was stunned for a moment, and was scolded by Liang Shuo, this time he finally figured it out, and hurriedly responded, stepped forward to pick up the unopened military newspaper on the table, and hurriedly retreated.
Liang Shuo leaned back in the chair and rubbed his eyebrows, in the end, his body was not in good shape, but he began to feel tired after talking a little more than usual.
Su Miao looked at him with her mouth open, and suddenly felt that the emperor was also working hard to cultivate an outstanding successor.
Feeling her gaze, Liang Shuo glanced at her and asked with a smile:
"Girl, Kosi is coming in, are you afraid?"
Su Miao thought for a while and said:
"I'm nothing, anyway, I can't find it when I fall into the pile, your emperor, you are the emperor no matter where you are."
She didn't answer his question directly, but her meaning was already very clear, compared to me, an insignificant little girl, it should be the emperor who should be afraid.
Liang Shuo understood, so he laughed, he looked at Su Miao with a smile, and said:
"You're so funny! If you live in Liangdu often, it is good to go into the palace to cook two dishes and drink a few cups with me to relieve my boredom. ”
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Why don't you just come and be my daughter-in-law, I have so many sons, you can pick one you like." ”
Su Miao was dumbfounded, looked at him with a speechless expression, and emphasized word by word:
"Folk girls only like small flavors."
"What do you like about him?" She decisively refused, and although Liang Shuo was not surprised, she was also very puzzled.
"Xiao Miwei's appearance is my favorite type." Su Miao replied seriously.
The smile on the corner of Liang Shuo's lips froze, it was really a simple answer, simple and completely without connotation, I thought it was a shocking answer...... That's a shocking answer, in a sense.
He twitched his eyebrows speechlessly, he was to blame for this, he shouldn't have asked.
