Chapter 92: Repression
"It seems that the Jiang family really has no desire for power," Lu Zhiye said with emotion, now such a courtier is already very good.
"Even if they hand over all the military power in their hands, I will still treat them preferentially." This is not only for Jiang Wan's sake, but also because the Jiang family is worthy of him.
"Your Majesty, it's good to know in your heart, now there should be no one in the court who dares to go against the emperor." Lu Zhiye said teasingly.
Lu Zhixing shook his head and said, "Now the matter of the Xiao family's rebellion has not been dealt with yet. ”
Lu Zhiye frowned and said, "Aren't they all already executed and surrendered?" ”
"As soon as the leader of the Xiao family died, the Xiao family's army became a plate of scattered sand, and the people in these armies did not intend to rebel but were forced to do so, so I wanted to absorb them." Lu Zhixing felt that it was a pity that the army was abandoned in vain.
Lu Zhiye thought for a while and then said, "Then let me do this matter." ”
Lu Zhixing nodded with satisfaction; "I'll leave this matter to the royal brother, I don't worry."
"Then I'll go first."
Lu Zhiye's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long for the Xiao family's parties to submit to the imperial court, and for a while, Lu Zhiye's power in the court was generally the same, and there were even some rumors that came out, but Lu Zhixing didn't care at all, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was not like this.
After hearing these rumors, Lu Zhiye sighed deeply and said, "Go and prepare things, let's leave here." ”
"Master, you're leaving again."
"yes, it's better to stay here and travel around."
"Yes, master."
Lu Zhiye still wanted to meet someone before leaving.
"Master, what you want is ready, and you're ready to go."
Lu Zhiye dressed in white clothes and rode away.
Lu Zhiye went to Xiao Diemeng's cemetery.
"Siren has passed away, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much." Lu Zhiye's eyes appeared in front of Xiao Diemeng's appearance, and the smiling appearance was really beautiful.
"I salute you for this wine." Lu Zhiye filled himself with a glass of wine and saluted the nothingness.
Slowly, tears began to wet his clothes, and Lu Zhiye slowly recounted what had happened during this time.
"Butterfly dream, this time I have lived a very complicated life, I thought I had fallen into the darkness but suddenly a light appeared in front of my eyes, but unfortunately this light is not something I can touch, now me, I don't know the meaning of my life, maybe you are still there..... Maybe you're still there, no maybe, I miss you so much, Butterfly Dream. Lu Zhiye cried in front of Xiao Diemeng's tomb.
After crying, he entered the palace and planned to say goodbye to Lu Zhixing.
"Your Majesty, I've been here long enough, and now that things have been dealt with, I think it's time for me to leave."
Lu Zhixing frowned: "Brother Huang, is there anyone talking nonsense in front of you, I will kill all those who chew the root of their tongues." "After saying that, I want to make an order.
Lu Zhiye hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, it's my temperament that I can't stay, I originally wanted to find Jiang Wan and take her away when I returned to the palace, but now that things have been figured out, I don't have any ideas." ”
Lu Zhixing was silent, hesitated for a while and said apologetically: "Brother Huang, I...."
"You're welcome, unless you give Jiang Wan to me, but you must be reluctant." Lu Zhiye said jokingly.
Lu Zhixing straightened up and nodded: "Jiang Wan is mine." ”
"Hahahaha, I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously." Lu Zhiye said with a smile.
Lu Zhixing also knew that he was joking, and there was nothing wrong, so he just patted Lu Zhiye's back and said: "If the imperial brother is tired, he will come to the palace to come and see, the door of the palace has always been open for you, and you have always been my brother, which will not change for the rest of your life." Lu Zhixing's eyes were deep and staring straight at Lu Zhiye.
Lu Zhiye could feel Lu Zhixing's strong brotherly affection and hugged him: "Good brother." ”
"Okay, it's time for me to go, I'll wait until Jiang Wan's main hall is held before leaving, you're bullying him."
"Okay." Lu Zhixing agreed to come down.
After Jiang Wan's sealing gradually spread to the outside of the palace, the Jiang family specially released the news when they left, saying that they were so open-minded in Jiang Wan's teachings, not greedy for power and only assisted Ming Jun, and for a while the folk began to spread that Jiang Wan was a virtuous and virtuous concubine who was generous and suitable for the mother of the world.
"Have you heard? , Concubine Hui in the palace is the lifesaver of all of us, if it weren't for Concubine Hui, we would all be miserable. ”
The others asked curiously when they heard this; "Say, say, what's going on?"
The woman saw that everyone was so curious, and let go and said; "You know, Concubine Hui Niangniang in the palace was the emperor's wife at the beginning, and then she was framed before she was sent to the cold palace, and later, the emperor had eyes to release the mother."
"That's right, but I heard that Queen Jiang is not very bad, and she killed the emperor's prince and murdered a lot of concubines?" Someone came out against it.
"Then you are Zheng Gu and unheard, how long ago did this happen, I have long figured out that it was not done by Concubine Hui, it was all framed by others."
"I see."
"Then what do you say about Concubine Hui saving us?" Someone asked curiously.
"Everyone knows that the Xiao family is rebelling, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"Do you know who is the person who suppressed the Xiao family's rebellion?"
"I don't know."
"That's what the people of Concubine Hui's mother's family did today, they sent 50,000 troops to suppress this rebellion, saved the emperor and saved us from the suffering of war, and after the suppression was successful, the people of the Jiang family didn't want to have a penny of power, reward, and even handed over all the 50,000 soldiers in their hands, you say this kind of courtier is still rare? This is all Concubine Hui's teachings to her mother's family. ”
After listening to it, everyone praised again and again, one passed ten, ten passed hundred, Jiang Wan was very popular among the people, and when he heard that the emperor was going to make Jiang Wan the queen, the people were very supportive, and they were praising the emperor.
Lu Zhiye saw that his goal had been achieved, so he wanted to raise this matter in the court.
In the court
"Something to start, nothing to retreat." Lu Zhixing sat on the dragon chair and looked down.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to start." A courtier stood up to report.
"Say"
"Your Majesty, if the throne is empty and the people's hearts are unstable, the minister suggests that the emperor should establish the queen to reassure the people."
This mention is in line with Lu Zhixing's intention.
"Then who do you say is more suitable for me?" Lu Zhixing made a thinking look, but in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.
"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the Hui Concubine Niangniang in the palace is the most suitable, the Hui Concubine Niangniang's family background is extraordinary, plus the virtuous and virtuous Shude is quite famous in the hearts of the people, and the Hui Concubine Niangniang is still the emperor's previous wife, so the minister thinks that the Hui Concubine Niangniang is the most suitable."
Most of the courtiers in the court agreed, but some of the courtiers still disagreed, after all, there was another high-ranking concubine in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree, now the palace has the highest position of the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang has managed the harem for many years, the palace affairs are skillful, the harem is well organized under the management of the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang is pregnant with the emperor's child and works hard, so the minister establishes the concubine Niangniang as the queen."
"The background of the noble concubine is just a palace maid, how can she be qualified to be a mother in the world?" Someone began to talk about Lin Yao's background.
"Why can't it, my background can't represent everything, and the concubine is still pregnant with the emperor's child."
In an instant, a heated debate began in the court, and the courtiers had their own reasons for insisting on their own words.
Lu Zhixing looked at the scene below with a headache, he thought that it would be very smooth after establishing Jiang Wan, but he didn't expect that Lin Yao had so many supporters, and it seemed that this concubine didn't know what he knew on his face.
The courtiers argued for a long time and did not come up with a result, so they could only throw the problem to the emperor.
"This matter is the emperor's family affair, the emperor said that whoever wants to be the queen will be the queen, wouldn't it be bad for us foreign ministers to get involved in the emperor's family affairs here." Some respectable courtiers spoke directly.
Lu Zhixing nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, I will discuss this matter with the Queen Mother before deciding, and now retreat from the court." Lu Zhixing waved his hand down.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
After Lu Zhixing left the court, he returned to his dormitory.
"I don't see anyone today." After Lu Zhixing got off the court, he locked himself up.
The matter above the court is so big, naturally Jiang Wan also learned about it.
'Hire'er, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty? Jiang Wan smiled bitterly.
I had already told the emperor before that I didn't want to be the queen, but why did the emperor still insist on doing so.
Ping'er said very happily: "Niangniang, this is the emperor cares about you, and he should want to make you the queen." In Ping'er's heart, the queen was originally the master of her family, and no one could snatch the queen's position from the mother.
Looking at Ping'er's appearance, Jiang Wan knew that she didn't understand herself, shook her head and said: "Ping'er, what this palace wants is not a name, but a ....." Forget it, Jiang Wan felt that if she said it, Ping'er would not understand, after all, such an idea is really a bit shocking, there should be no concubine in ancient and modern China and abroad, or there is only one person in the harem of no emperor.
"Mother, what do you want to say?" Seeing Jiang Wan's words halfway through, Ping'er had some doubts in her heart.
"It's okay, Hongu is a little tired and wants to take a break." Jiang Wan also figured it out, let the emperor worry about these things, if she can really become the queen, it will be a consolation, isn't it, Lu Zhixing's only wife can also press her in front of Lin Yao.
