Chapter Eighty-Five: Only then did he leave the cold palace and enter the Xinzhi Library
The emperor was speechless, secretly thinking that it was not your daughter who was married, you would say cool things, which woman would want her husband to have a few concubines first?
He simply said directly: "What I mean is that I hope to come up with a better plan. ”
The old minister was also very direct, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's decree has been issued, and it has been announced to the world, and the Jungar side has already known it, and it can no longer be changed, and the Celestial Empire cannot lose its trust to others." ”
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Even if Prince Jungger knows, if I change someone, I will also have the title of princess, and I will just add more dowries." ”
He clenched his fists, "If Zhunger still refuses to agree, he will be on the border and let him choose!" ”
That's what it means to go to war.
As a last resort, he didn't want to fight, and he didn't want his subjects to shed blood and sacrifice, but now, he had no choice, he couldn't let Xinyun marry far away at a young age.
Xinyun can almost be said to be his most beloved daughter, at that time he had a very good relationship with Tang Jingchen, and he was even full of expectations for this child, although it was a daughter, he did not despise half of it, but loved it like a treasure.
When they heard that the emperor was going to war, the courtiers were stunned.
The Celestial Empire has been peaceful for many years, and they don't want to fight at all, although a few generals hope for war, after all, if they win, they can be added to the rank of knight and named their wife and son, but they are not the opponent of Wenchen at all, and they will soon drown in the saliva of Wenchen.
"When Xinyan got married, what did the emperor say, the royal family was supported by the people of the world, and it should contribute to the people of the world, why did it change his mind now that it was Xinyun's turn?"
The Queen Mother walked with the support of Empress Duolun, and her majestic voice echoed in the hall.
Although she has been retired for many years, her influence is still there, and the courtiers also think so, but they don't dare to say it, and as soon as the Queen Mother says it, they all nod frequently.
The Queen Mother sneered, "Yesterday, the emperor consulted with the mourning family, and the mourning family said that this matter was unchangeable, but now the emperor is consulting with the ministers, and the emperor is now sitting on the throne, and he is less and less concerned about the mourning family." ”
"The mourning family gave birth to you, raised you, and helped you ascend the throne, how did you repay the mourning family?" In the end, the Queen Mother was already full of voice.
The Queen Mother softened her tone and sighed lowly, "Son, when you were born, there was a lot of fighting in the palace, and many children died, and the mourning family was afraid that something would happen to you, so they had to send you out for foster care. ”
"I can't sleep day and night, fighting with those concubines during the day, and missing you at night, afraid that you won't have enough food and clothing, and afraid that you will be bullied......"
The Queen Mother burst into tears, "Son, now that we have worked hard, the Celestial Empire is rich and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, do you want to destroy all this with your own hands?" Once the war starts, it's not something we can end if we want to. ”
All the ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Please ask the emperor to marry Princess Xinyun and appease the heart of Zhungeer." ”
The emperor clenched his fists, and after a while, he released weakly, even as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, there were many things, he was powerless.
For example, Tang Jingchen was deposed before, and now she is married to her daughter.
I don't know how she is doing now, the emperor's eyes can't help but cast in the direction of the cold palace, there have been too many things in the recent past, and he can't help but neglect her.
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, "Princess Xinyun is about to get married, if her biological mother is a concubine in the cold palace, she will inevitably lose face, pass on the will of the mourning family, and seal the Tang family as a nobleman, and move out of the cold palace from now on and return to Tingyuxuan." ”
None of the ministers objected, and as for the emperor himself, he could no longer tell whether he was sad or happy.
The news quickly spread to the cold palace, and the first to come to report the good news was the mother-in-law who guarded the cold palace, she walked to Tang Jingchen and knelt down, "The noble little lord is overjoyed, because Princess Xinyun is married, the queen mother will let you out!" ”
Tang Jingchen didn't like it at all, she only felt that a thunder roared on her head, she would rather live in the cold palace for the rest of her life, or even die in the cold palace, than her daughter would marry far away at the age of eight.
"How...... How to ......" She didn't know what to say, it came too suddenly, and she had high hopes yesterday, and when Chunlan gave the jade pendant to the emperor, he would try to see the old feelings, and ...... today
The mother-in-law saw that her face was cloudy, thinking that she hated herself, and she was busy kowtowing again and again, "The old slave was offended a lot before, and asked the noble little master not to care, and the old slave asked the noble little master to plead guilty." ”
Tang Jingchen didn't hear what her mother-in-law said at all, and muttered: "I want to see the Queen Mother, I want to see Xinyun......"
The eunuch who passed the decree came, and after reading the edict of the Queen Mother, he smiled and said: "This is the great grace of the Queen Mother, Tang Guiren, you can leave for the palace." ”
Tang Jingchen nodded, he didn't have time to listen to Yuxuan's change of clothes and wash, and couldn't wait to run to Cining Palace, "Queen Mother, concubines are willing to live in the cold palace for life, and I only ask the Queen Mother to take back her life." ”
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother was furious, "Is the royal decision said to be changed?" Now that the decree of the Holy Decree and the double decree have been issued, do you want the mourning family and the emperor to go back on their word? ”
Tang Jingchen kowtowed desperately, "Xinyun is only eight years old, how can she get married, the concubine begs the queen mother, and begs the queen mother for the sake of Xinyun is your granddaughter......"
"Bold!" Empress Duolun spoke, "Tang Jingchen, what do you mean by this, are you saying that the Queen Mother is not kind and does not treat Xinyun as a granddaughter?" ”
Tang Jingchen was stunned, she didn't mean that, how could the queen misinterpret it so much?
Duolun sneered, "You fornicated with the guards with the intention of eloping into the Filthy Palace, and now it is the grace of the Queen Mother to let you out, and let your daughter go to the Jungger Grassland to be the future queen, not only are you not grateful, but you dare to slander the Queen Mother, what is your intention?" ”
"Huang Eniang, my daughter-in-law has long said that this Tang Jingchen is pampered and arrogant, the reason why she came to make trouble with you is not because she thinks that she has the support of the emperor, she committed such a serious crime before, and the emperor didn't execute her, and now that she has come out, isn't it going to get worse, in the long run, not to mention other concubines, even daughters-in-law, there is no place to stand."
As she spoke, Queen Duolun began to cry, she had been in the palace for so long and had learned a lot of palace fighting skills.
The Queen Mother didn't like Tang Jingchen, so she was too lazy to argue between truth and falsehood at this time, and said in a deep voice: "The Tang family did not repent, and sent to the Xin Zheku to do hard labor, and Xinyun was written into the queen's name and married as a concubine." ”
When the emperor got the news and came to Cining Palace in shock and anger, Tang Jingchen had been dragged away by the eunuchs.
"Huang Eniang, you ......"
"The mourning family knows that the emperor's wings are stiff, and he doesn't take the mourning family in his eyes, if the emperor is not satisfied with the handling of the mourning family, the mourning family has nothing to say, so pack up and go to accompany the first emperor."
The emperor's face changed suddenly, and cold sweat immediately flowed.
The Queen Mother's words undoubtedly accused the emperor of forcing himself to death, a crime that the emperor could not bear and could not bear.
