Section 25 The Empress of the Li Dynasty
Having said this, Yao Jin already fully understood that her guess was right, although Lin Yuebai never refused to say, although she had forced her to such a point, she still only begged herself not to agree to Li Yao anything, because she had no choice, she had no way at all! The man in front of her, this former friend of her, one of the people she believed in the most - Yao Jin's chest was churning with anger, but all kinds of anger came to her mouth, and she only faintly "hummed":
"Your Majesty, the minister said when he first came in, if His Majesty wants to get anything from the minister, I'm afraid he will be disappointed. ”
"Naturally, if there are no conditions, you Yao Jin will naturally not return these nine cities, one river and thirteen counties to the widow-"
"Li Yao! I repeat, Xiao Nanguo is not yours, and this world is not yours in the first place! Don't deceive people too much!" Yao Jin's voice was high and bright, as if he wanted the entire Zhengjin Palace to hear her words, but there was no one here at all, only her echo in the huge main hall, floating around in the hall empty.
"It's not a widow, it's all now. Yao Jin, the harmonious plot is over, and next, there are not so many opportunities for you to refute. ”
"Hmph, but I, Yao Jin, may not be interested in accompanying Your Majesty in this scene. ”
The smile on the corner of Li Yao's mouth slowly solidified into a stern, he stood up, his gaze crossed Yao Jin and threw himself outside the main hall, it was already night, the inky night sky was reflected by the lights of the entire palace with a deep sapphire color, today was the day he ascended the throne, the Ministry of Rites chose and elected, and Si Tiantai counted and counted a good day, but he didn't feel relaxed for a moment, he had too many things to do, he had too many desires to achieve, his time was so insufficient, he couldn't even let go of tonight-
"Yao Jin, if you don't want your best friend to be unable to become the empress of the Li Dynasty, you'd better let go of the disdain on your face, take a good look at the situation in front of you, and think clearly about what you should say, which is the attitude you should have. ”
Yao Jin's face suddenly sank, thinking of the bedgown she saw in Lin Yuebai's house today, she couldn't wait to rush up and tear Li Yao immediately, clenched the fist in her sleeve, Yao Jin gritted her teeth and said: "Whether it is in the past life or this life, if you don't marry her as a wife and don't make her a queen, Li Yao, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder!"
"Naive, stupid. Li Yao sat down slowly, rubbing the handle of the dragon chair with one hand, "If the widow is still an unknown little guard in the palace back then, and Jin Liancheng who is used and scolded by others, you can curse me for not dying well when thunder strikes in the sky—but this is not the case! Yao Jin, open your eyes well and see clearly, in front of you is the emperor of the Li Dynasty, the heaven of the Li Dynasty! And the wife that the widow wants to marry is the queen of the Li Dynasty! You have been to Fujian, and you must know a lot about Wei, look at the history of the Li Dynasty. Look at the surrounding countries, which queen can last for a long time, and what queen can ascend to the throne only by relying on the emperor's favor!"
"So do you think that Lin Yuebai can't afford to be the queen of the Li Dynasty? Could it be that in your heart, who has a deep foundation and is worthy of the position of this queen-Li Yao, do you mean Wei Nanyan!" Yao Jin flicked her sleeves violently, and the tassels on her hair bun suddenly swayed, and she was so angry that her apricot eyes were round, although she was standing under the steps, but her gaze at the person on the dragon chair was full of contempt, and she didn't mean to look up at all.
"You're wrong Yao Jin. Li Yao said suddenly, "If you can, the widow really hopes that you will be the queen - anyway, there is never anything between you and me, even if you are the empty queen, Yuebai will not be sad...... In this world, no one dares to criticize. ”
"Hmph. Li Yao, you don't need to act coy here, aren't you just afraid that you will be the queen of Yuebai, Wei Nanyan will not be convinced, the Mo family will not be convinced, you are afraid of offending them, you are afraid that you will shake the country of the Li Dynasty - in the final analysis, what you care about most is your position as emperor! You have never thought at all, if you set up Wei Nanyan as the queen, what will Yuebai and Yuebai do?" Yao Jin closed her eyes, her brows furrowed, as if she had thought of some picture, and said in a low voice: "Do you know that she will die." ”
"The widow will never let her have an accident!" Li Yao's eyes were like a sword, and he raised his head and said: "In the hearts of widows, widows' wives and widows' queens have always been only Yuebai. But Yao Jin, you also walked out of this palace, don't you understand, even the emperor always has to scruple and worry about things!"
Phew! This emperor is what you want to do, and no one has ever forced you! Looking at Li Yao's seemingly difficult appearance, Yao Jin was not moved, but said coldly: "Your Majesty, there is no need for so many plays, there is no audience here." ”
Li Yao shook his head and said seriously: "You should know that Wei Nanyan has already gone to Yunliguan in the name of praying for the blessing of the country, and his name is Yuli Zhenren, and he has become a female Taoist. ”
"I naturally know," Yao Jin sneered, "and I also know that this good idea was proposed by you, Your Majesty, and you followed it, but it was just a trick in history to get rid of the status of a concubine in the previous dynasty after becoming a monk." Although Yao Jin is not familiar with history books, this kind of routine is well known to everyone in the market, and I still understand it!"
"This is not the widow's intention, it is Wei Nanyan's own meaning! And why did the widow agree to take this head for her, in order to win over the Mo family behind her - Yao Jin, don't think too dirty about the widow!"
"Ha! Joke! Wei Nanyan was originally a good concubine of the deep palace, did she know you? Before Li Yao became Li Yao, she didn't even know what virtues you Jin Liancheng had in mind! If you hadn't provoked her, if you weren't plotting against the Mo family behind her, now, she was doing her concubine well, how could she be some hellish female Taoist priest, how could she have ambitions for the position of queen!"
"If there was no Wei Nanyan, it would be impossible for you and the widow to talk here today, Yao Jin!" Li Yao roared angrily, which made Yao Jin a little more sober, she paused for a moment and said: "So what Your Majesty means is that Wei Nanyan has the conditions to be a queen and the heart to be a queen-then Your Majesty, since you need the Mo family behind Wei Nanyan, why can't you let Lin Yuebai go? Why do you still put her under house arrest in this palace, why do you still have to follow her-"
"Because I love her!"
......
Yao Jin was stunned, how long had it been since she had heard the word "love"? Was it from the time when Wei Yan left her, or from the night in the Zhao Mansion Courtyard, which was full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers? Yao Jin's heart suddenly felt sad and painful, her face turned from crimson to pale, she bit her lower lip tightly, and popped out a sentence word by word: "You, you are not qualified to say that you love her." ”
"The widow is more qualified than anyone else in the world! Yao Jin, the widow hopes more than anyone in the world that Yuebai is the queen of the widow! But even when the Lin family was in its prime, plus the Jiao family, it was far from being able to compare with the Mo family, not to mention that now the Lin family has long been defeated, and Yuebai has nothing but the destiny of heaven! If you want to let her sit on the throne of the queen like this, if you want to let the Mo family shut up and let the people of the world shut up-only your little Nanguo. ”
"You say...... What?"
"If you can take your little Nanguo, these nine cities, one river and thirteen counties as Lin Yuebai's dowry, and send her to the throne of this queen," Li Yao took out the sheepskin map in the sandalwood box again, and said lightly: "Then no one will dare to question Yuebai again." In this world, who can marry the entire vassal kingdom except you and Yuebai, who else can do it and be worthy of it?"
