Finale (22)
Three months is not a long time, it is not a short time, for Feng Yuqian, who is looking for someone, three months is definitely not a long time, but for the Empress Dowager who guards the palace, these three months are not ordinarily long, not ordinarily difficult.
The emperor has been away from the palace for more than half a year, and has accumulated a bunch of government affairs, this time the palace ministers are lining up to see Qin Xiaoyan, the empress dowager can block one day, but what about ten days? What about 100 days?
The Empress Dowager has been holding back, the emperor has never shown up, not even in the early dynasty, can the courtiers not be suspicious?
You know, the emperor still owes them an explanation.
The emperor originally personally conquered the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he went to sea. Although he won the victory in the end and brought back a lot of wealth, the emperor has to say something to them, right?
The safety of the Son of Heaven is related to the society of the country, but it is not just the emperor's business, the emperor is so reckless, and they are the courtiers who have the responsibility to persuade.
In the first three days of the emperor's return to the palace, he didn't see anyone, and the courtiers could understand. The emperor must be extremely tired all the way, and it is normal to have no energy to summon courtiers and handle government affairs, but what about the fourth and fifth days?
You must know that although their emperor has all kinds of badness, there is one thing that all the courtiers have nothing to say, that is, diligence.
Since he ascended the throne, except for going out, he has never been absent from the early dynasty and has not dealt with political affairs.
Moreover, their emperor is arbitrary, accustomed to having things in his hands, and it is impossible for them to return to Beijing for a few days without showing up or dealing with political affairs.
After returning to Beijing for a few days, the emperor did not even show his face, and the prince did not appear in front of people, but it can be said that there is nothing strange about this matter, and the courtiers did not believe it.
The emperor is the Dinghai Divine Needle of Daqin, the emperor does not show up in front of people when he returns to Beijing, where do the ministers still have the heart to do errands. Due to the prestige of Qin Shiyan, the courtiers waited patiently for ten days under the persuasion of Jiao Shoufu and Feng Bijin, but they couldn't see the emperor for ten days, and the courtiers couldn't wait any longer.
In just half a year, the Northern Qi lost eighteen cities in a row, and seeing that the soldiers and horses of the Great Qin were about to hit the imperial court of the Northern Qi, the Northern Qi was frightened and hurriedly sent envoys to Beijing to sue for peace.
As for the Northern Qi peace talks, some people in the DPRK and China were in favor and some were against. Those who are in favor are also thinking about Great Qin, and want to take this opportunity to fight the Northern Qi Imperial Court, capture the Northern Qi Emperor alive, and let Northern Qi set up a new monarch and become an auxiliary state of Great Qin.
The ministers who opposed it were considering that the weather was cold at this time, and the soldiers of Great Qin could not adapt to it in Northern Qi, and they would not be able to take much advantage if they continued to fight.
Moreover, as soon as the weather was cold, the Fengjia army was only stationed in Northern Qi and did not continue to attack the city.
It's not that I don't want to fight, but I can't fight now, and if I really want to continue to attack the city, I have to wait for the next spring when the weather warms up.
Of course, whether the two countries are at war or peace, even Jiao Shoufu does not dare to take the idea lightly, only the emperor can decide this matter, but the fold is presented to the emperor, but there is no news for a long time.
Master Jiao, who has no choice, can only ask for a face.
The Empress Dowager received Lord Jiao's request to face the saint, rejected it once, rejected it again, and rejected it dozens of times in a row, and did not give Lord Jiao a reason, only saying that the emperor was not available to see him.
The Empress Dowager has been in the harem all her life, and she doesn't know how to deal with things in the court. I want her to be the queen, I don't want to see any concubine, I just keep rejecting it, and if I don't see it, the concubine will obediently retreat.
Now, Lord Jiao asked to see the saint, and she used the same way without thinking about it, but she didn't expect that the court and the harem were different, and the emperor and the queen were also different.
Moreover, when she was the queen, she just didn't want to see a certain concubine, so she asked people to drive that concubine away. But now, she has driven away all the ministers who asked to see Qin Shiyan, and the situation is different.
The officials who can stand in the capital, which one is not exquisite. The ministers have not been able to see the saint for many days, and countless possibilities have been staged in their minds, and the biggest possibility is that something happened to the emperor, and the queen mother took the opportunity to seize power!
When the emperor entered the palace that day, he only showed one face, and there was no sound at all after that. After Feng Yuqian escorted the emperor back to Beijing, he left the capital with soldiers and horses the next day on the grounds that the border was inseparable from people.
At that time, everyone didn't think much about it, just that the emperor had any secrets to hand over to him for execution, but now that he thinks about it, Feng Yuqian was in a hurry that day, his face was solemn, and it was not just as simple as performing a secret mission.
"Isn't there something really wrong with the emperor?" If something hadn't happened, how could he have returned to Beijing for more than ten days and not show up?
The courtiers couldn't sit still, no matter how-for-tat they usually fought in the court, they all united at this time and asked to see the saint outside the palace together.
The law does not blame the people, so many of them ask to see the Holy One at the same time, and the Holy One is not happy, so he can only reprimand them.
Lord Jiao and Feng Rujinyuan disagreed, but the two of them repeatedly asked to see the emperor, but the emperor refused to see them. wanted to inquire about the news privately, but the palace was protected by the empress dowager like an iron bucket, and they couldn't find out at all.
The emperor didn't know what was going on, and he didn't say hello to them, and they had no choice but to acquiesce to the actions of the courtiers.
As a result, there was a matter of courtiers kneeling outside the palace gate en masse, begging to see the emperor.
This is not the first time that courtiers have done such a thing, in the past, they have knelt outside the palace gate to ask the saint to take back the holy order, but once without success.
Of course, this time it didn't work out either.
The Empress Dowager directly asked the forbidden army to carry the ministers back.
That's right, it's lifted!
The Empress Dowager's approach was simple and rude, and it was really effective at the time, whether it was a civil minister or a military attaché, they were all taken aback by the sudden move of the forbidden army, and they were carried home one by one, only Lord Jiao and Feng Bijin survived.
Lord Jiao and Feng Bijin were not frightened by the Forbidden Palace at all, as soon as the forbidden army touched the two, they were retreated by the two, "Bold!" ”
"Lord Jiao, Lord Feng, the Empress Dowager has an order not to cause trouble outside the palace, please leave quickly." The forbidden army is not a vegetarian, although they dare not force their hands, but they also put on a posture of sending people away.
"The Empress Dowager! It's the Empress Dowager again! This world is the emperor's world, the emperor has not appeared for ten days, and the prince has never appeared, so many of us can't see the emperor, and the palace and the palace only listen to the orders of the queen mother, what does the queen mother do? "Is the Son of Heaven coerced to order the princes?
The last sentence, Master Jiao didn't say, but the meaning revealed in the words was clear to everyone.
The Empress Dowager repeatedly prevented the courtiers from meeting the emperor, and let heavy troops guard the palace, so that no news could flow out of the palace. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager not interfering in political affairs, the courtiers would have led troops to break through the palace gate and save the driver.
The Empress Dowager has gone too far this time, they just can't doubt it......
