Chapter 344: The Empress and the Prince
The kings and ministers consulted with each other until the evening.
Originally, Yang Mu was going to set up a dinner party, let the two prime ministers have dinner together, and then convene the officials of the other departments to discuss all matters related to the second Cangcheng Alliance.
To a certain extent, this is a celebration meeting and the first alliance is a little different, the time is not as tight as the first time, as the so-called common hardship, common wealth and prosperity, the diplomatic relations of the countries are also similar, when everyone has an aggressive common opponent, you can share the same hatred, quickly reach an alliance, and join an alliance to attack the Jin State, but once there is no common goal, it is time to carefully plan for your own interests.
Negotiations will not happen overnight.
This time will definitely take a lot longer than the first time.
Speaking of which, Yang Mu is also very glad that Cangguo can have a group of capable ministers, and there are such two veteran prime ministers, and he is also satisfied with his previous arrangements from the bottom of his heart, it is precisely because the twelve ministries are reasonably arranged, they can only be clear, and there is a set of effective operation methods, so in the past year, even he has not held a single court meeting, and he does not care much about state affairs in Leyuan City, and everything in Cangguo is in order.
It was precisely because of this mentality that he was very satisfied with the two prime ministers, and planned to knight the two prime ministers and officials of various departments once after the discussion was completed in the evening.
After all, an official and a knight are different, an official is a momentary honor, but a knight represents the privileges of the nobility and the hereditary family lineage.
Nowadays, in addition to some of the remaining titles of the old nobles in the court of Cangguo, many new officials do not have titles, and they are not even counted as knights.
Therefore, knighting these officials is the best reward.
The plan was well thought out, but the reality was brutal.
The so-called discussion after dinner is just Yang Mu's wishful thinking.
Because, while he was still eating, he saw a shadow probe his brain, looking behind the curtain.
It was a woman.
Judging from the phoenix pattern on the corner of the clothes, only the queen in the harem is qualified to wear a phoenix robe.
Then, he saw the queen's happy and slightly resentful eyes.
Yang Mu suddenly realized, he returned to the palace very low-key, did not notify the harem and did not report to the queen mother in advance, the two prime ministers also got the news today, the news in the harem is even more closed, presumably the queen also knows not long.
At this moment, he had already arrived at the Zichen Palace.
Yang Mu didn't know if the other concubines knew that he had returned to the palace, because the rest of the women in the entire harem did not have the right to leave the harem and come to the Zichen Hall without permission.
Let's pacify the queen first!
Yang Mu sent someone to recall the little eunuch who went to announce the decree, and then asked someone to hold a jade plate to escort the two prime ministers out of the palace, then he smiled slightly, lifted the curtain, and walked towards the queen.
"Jennan, why are you here?" Yang Mu hugged the queen's waist.
"Your Majesty!"
The queen didn't have any defense, she was a little complaining, and suddenly became a little shy, Zhen Nan is her name, Yang Mu is still calling it for the first time, plus she hasn't seen her for a year, full of thoughts gushing out in an instant, hugging Yang Mu tightly, lying her head on Yang Mu's chest, tears coming out of her eyes.
"What's wrong with you...... Okay, don't cry, I'm not back, wait and eat something in your palace. ”
Yang Mu comforted her carefully, caressed her on her back, and looked at such a woman who was once so cold and strong, but now she was crying in her arms, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, haven't you thought about concubines in the past year?" The queen raised her head and looked at Yang Mu affectionately, with tears in her eyes.
"How come, the battle on the front line is too tight, and the stakes are so high, I didn't go back and forth between the two cities, isn't this coming back?"
"However, as soon as His Majesty returned, he only summoned the ministers to discuss state affairs, and did not ask the ministers to inform the concubines personally." The queen stopped her tears a little, and complained: "Your Majesty has only let Miaoxi accompany her for the past year, if she hadn't come to Yuling Palace just now to show off, the concubine would still be kept in the dark." ”
"Show off ......"
Yang Mu only felt a headache.
Miaoxi, the bewitching trouble, is honest by his side, but he always likes to engage in some small fame behind him, and he is a little woman who will only compete for favor, and has always been compared with the queen in this regard, and now he has been by his side for a year, it can be said that he has been favored for a year, and after returning to the palace, he ran to the queen to show off, which is really her style of acting.
"Okay, don't think about it, what kind of jealousy do you have with Miaoxi, she is a concubine, you are the queen, you are humble and orderly, next time she dares to show off in front of you, you will punish her."
"The concubine doesn't care about the queen's position, as long as in His Majesty's heart, the concubine is the most important one." The queen wiped away her tears and smiled.
"Well, this one is natural. Although Miaoxi has been by my side for a year, I told you that she was in the boudoir, but she suffered a lot, and many methods I was afraid of hurting your body and did not use it for you, but Miaoxi was not merciful there. ”
"Flutter-" The queen pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty is really ...... This kind of thing has to be said as if it were a major matter of some country. ”
"Isn't it a major matter of the country!" Yang Mu patted the queen on the back and said, "You go back to the palace first, wait for me to deal with a few small things, and then go to the Ling Palace. ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine didn't come alone."
"Oh? Who else? ”
Yang Mu is not surprised, it is not easy for the rest of the concubines in the harem to come out, but if there is the queen's permission, it is still possible to bring them out together.
was looking out the door, but saw a small figure, led by an old woman, jumping in.
"Father!"
With a sweet and glutinous sound, the cute child rushed over and hugged Yang Mu's thigh.
"Jun'er! Why are you here too! ”
Yang Mu hurriedly picked up Yang Jun from the ground, the little guy is now five years old, long before he moved to Le Yuan City, he had already shown an amazing talent for learning, not only can he speak and recite all kinds of poems, but also has the appearance of a little adult, which is very popular with him.
Regardless of whether there is an adult behind these intelligences that can be taught, in short, he loves this son very much.
After all, this is the first child in his two lives.
It is also the only seedling in the second generation of the current Cangguo royal family.
In a sense, his existence is like a treasure of the town, bringing stability to the court and politics of Cangguo.
