Chapter 334: Rift
Ke Zhengyan's face also turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The minister doesn't dare! It's just that the words of God are not the words of the minister alone, and there are more living facts in front of him, and the emperor is invited to ......."
"Where is the truth?" Dongling Guyun looked at him coldly, a sharp flash flashed in his eyes, "Your so-called fact is that the queen happened to have nothing for three years? So do you dare to guarantee that as long as I set up other concubines and make them give birth to an heir, it will definitely rain from heaven and relieve the drought?"
Ke Zhengyan was stunned for a moment: "This ......"
"How?" Dongling Guyun sneered, "If the prime minister dares to guarantee 100 percent, it's not that I can't consider establishing a concubine! If any of the concubines gives birth to an heir and fails to eliminate the drought, all the concubines must become nuns!"
Ke Zhengyan was dripping in cold sweat, and his body trembled unconsciously: "This ...... Minister......"
How can he dare to guarantee anything when God is in charge? If the drought cannot be eliminated by then, they will absolutely not blame the emperor, but will only put the responsibility on his head! It is not that he is afraid of taking responsibility, but how can he want to harm so many innocent women?
Dongling Guyun smiled faintly, and his tone softened: "The Prime Minister is dedicated to the people, and I am very pleased. It's just that this matter really has nothing to do with the queen, and thanks to the queen's reminder, there is now a way to temporarily alleviate the current drought. ”
What!? There's a way?!
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Ke Zhengyan was even more surprised: "Really!?
"Your Excellency, please get up. Dongling Guyun said with a smile, "Climate change is impermanent, and no human can change it. However, both I and the Empress are convinced that the current situation will not last forever, as long as we find a way to overcome the current difficulties, the Yulin Kingdom will definitely usher in rain and rain! ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of most people showed obvious joy and abruptness: Yes! How can we forget about this stubble? The three countries have always helped each other, and it should not be a problem to borrow some grain! As long as we support them until the drought is over, it is a big deal to return them with interest.
However, Ke Zhengyan seemed a little hesitant: "This ...... Once they ask for support from other countries, they will know that the Yulin Kingdom is in trouble, in case the two countries have bad intentions again......"
"The drought has lasted for three years, if the two countries really have bad intentions, I am afraid that they will already take action, how can they wait until today?" Tanglin Guyun said indifferently, "What's more, Yingya is already the crown princess of Tianlong Kingdom, and Princess Tianyun has been married to Yulin Kingdom for many years, the two countries are worthy of the name Qin and Jin, how can they have any bad intentions? Although Mingfeng Kingdom and we are not related in marriage, how dare it confront our two countries with the strength of one country?"
Everyone nodded, and the joy on their faces became more obvious. Ke Zhengyan still frowned slightly: "But...... How does the emperor know that the two countries will definitely be willing to help us? In case they just want to take advantage of the fact that the people of Yulin are struggling and even the army is losing its combat effectiveness, then ......."
Thinking of the serious consequences that were very likely to occur, everyone couldn't help but shiver with excitement, and the joy that had just risen quickly sank: That's right! When the time comes, the two countries will wait for work, and the Yulin Kingdom will only be afraid that it will collapse into an army! Taking a step back, even if they know that fighting alone is not the opponent of the Yulin Kingdom, they can form a temporary alliance, and after destroying the Yulin Kingdom, they will add two to five and the end will be irreparable!
Seeing that he actually said such something that shook people's hearts with the respect of the prime minister, Dongling Guyun was a little angry, looked at him coldly and said: "The three kingdoms of Lingyuan have always coexisted peacefully and are a state of brothers, how could they do such an immoral thing? Not to mention that they are unknown, it is difficult to get the support of the army and the people, but on the contrary, they will plunge the people into the poison of war, and it is easy to provoke a popular uprising! Thinking that the emperors of the two countries are wise men, they should not do such a thing of digging their own graves!"
Ke Zhengyan groaned, and wanted to say something more, Dongling Guyun had already waved his hand and stood up: "Okay, the prime minister doesn't need to say more! I will immediately send envoys to the two countries to ask for help, whether they will help the Yulin Kingdom tide over the difficulties or whether they will fall into the ground, and we will soon find out!
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
When he left, the ministers shook their heads and sighed, got up, and went with their own thoughts. Ke Zhengyan stood stunned for a long time, and finally just shook his head and turned away helplessly.
"Damn! I'm so angry! It's a bunch of nonsense! It's a bunch of nonsense!"
Back in the imperial study, Dongling Guyunwu's face turned pale with anger, and he said in a loud voice. Duanmu Youning just entered the door at this time, and said with a smile: "The concubine sees the emperor! What's wrong with the emperor?"
"This Ke Zhengyan, today is really too much!" waved her hand to excuse her, Dongling Guyun still snorted angrily, "Actually bewitched the people, saying that the three-year drought is a curse, and God is condemning you ......for nothing."
The word "out" in the back was swallowed back unconsciously, and Dongling Guyun glanced at Duanmu Youning a little uncomfortably. The smile on the corner of Duanmu's lips had long froze, and after a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "Has this day finally come......?"
"Youning, don't pay attention to them, you know?" Dongling Guyun gently held her hand and said solemnly, "The so-called heavenly curse is nonsense at all, I won't believe it!"
"It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't believe it. Duanmu Youning smiled bitterly, "The important thing is that the ministers and the people believe that that that is enough!"
Tanglin Guyun was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, on the contrary, it doesn't matter if people in the world don't believe it, the important thing is that I will never believe it! As long as I don't believe it, no one will dare to touch a finger of you!"
Duanmu Youning opened his mouth, but finally skipped the topic with a sigh: "What about the request for support?
"Yes, it's still Ke Zhengyan, this old guy. Tanglin Guyun sneered unceremoniously, "What did he say that he was afraid that the two countries would take advantage of the situation after knowing the truth, and he didn't want to think that the drought in the Yulin Kingdom had lasted for three years, and if they wanted to take advantage of the situation, would they wait until today?"
"The concubines of Mingfeng Kingdom don't know, but Xunhuan will definitely not do this!" Duanmu Youning shook his head without hesitation, "His concubines know very well, not to mention that he loves Yingya deeply, even if it is for Yingya, he will definitely not be an enemy of Yulin Kingdom!"
Tanglin Guyun nodded: "I know, that's why I said that Ke Zhengyan was worried about the sky, and I have selected envoys to go to the two countries and ask them to help Yulin Kingdom, and there should be a reply soon." ”
Duanmu Youning pursed his lips, and after a while, he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, in fact, Prime Minister Ke Cheng is also dedicated to the country, and wants to do his best to assist the emperor in governing the country of Yulin. Since everyone's purpose is the same, the emperor may wish to consider his proposal......"
"I won't think about it. Tanglin Guyun shook his head without hesitation, "Youning, I really treat you, and I really don't want to make other women concubines, you don't have to test me again and again." ”
"The concubine didn't!" Duanmu Youning frowned, "The concubine is also really for the sake of the Yulin Kingdom, so she is willing to put aside her personal gains and losses, where is the temptation?"
"But I have already said that the three-year drought has nothing to do with you having nothing to do with it, why do you have to be so obsessed?" Donglin Guyun was actually a little angry, and his voice unconsciously raised, "Youning, I know that you are for the country of Yulin, but since I have already expressed my heart to you, and you personally admit that you do care about me and other women, in this case, why should you be so hypocritical and ask me to make a concubine?"
Duanmu Youning was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned a little pale: She is dedicated to the country, but in fact, she is not dedicated to Donglin Guyun, and she doesn't want him to be caught between her and the ministers?
Seeing that her face became so ugly, Tanglin Guyun also felt that what he said was a little excessive, and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "My words are too heavy, I'm sorry, I'm just ......"
"The concubine understands that the emperor doesn't have to explain. Duanmu smiled quietly, just lined with a pale face, this smile also looked pale, "The emperor works hard for state affairs, and the concubines should not cause trouble to the emperor anymore, it is the fault of the concubines, and the emperor forgives the sin." ”
As she spoke, she curtsied and bowed her head. Tanglin Guyun looked at her stunned, and an extremely uncomfortable feeling instantly passed through his heart, as if a crack as thin as a hair suddenly appeared between him and the woman who vowed to spend his life together. It's negligible, but it's real!
Suddenly a little panicked, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "Youning......! Your hands are so cold, aren't they uncomfortable?"
Yes, it's so cold, Duanmu Youning's hand was as cold as ice, making him tremble unconsciously! Withdrawing her hand, she smiled slightly: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubine is fine." The emperor still has state affairs to deal with, and the concubines retired. ”
After saying that, she bowed and slowly turned away. Tanglin Guyun didn't seem to react a little, and it wasn't until she walked out of the door that she subconsciously shouted: "Youning! you ......"
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager!" the chamberlain hurriedly came, "Please go to Ningfeng Palace immediately to meet you!"
Tanglin Guyun was helpless, so he had to stop for a while and watch her back get farther and farther away.
Rushing to Ning Feng Palace, he temporarily put away his full thoughts and stepped forward to salute: "Son, see the queen mother!"
Min Xinrou smiled and nodded: "Yun'er doesn't have to be polite, come and sit." ”
Tanglin Guyun stepped forward and sat down, and said with a smile: "The queen mother summoned her sons, but what is the important matter?"
Min Xinrou pursed her lips, as if she didn't know how to speak. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed slightly: "Ke Zhengyan has just been here......"
"What? This old fellow is getting more and more disagreeable!" Donglin Guyun couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, and his face became gloomy, "It's really hateful to dare to disturb the peace of the queen mother with those things!"
"Don't say that, how can a major national event be said to be a broken thing?" Min Xinrou reprimanded softly, "Besides, Ke Zhengyan was personally promoted by you, and he is also loyal to the country and has no selfish thoughts!"
