Chapter 9: Enlightenment, Departure
The night is full of ups and downs, and the moon is full and the stars are scarce.
"Mother, has Ermine told you what he said today?" There was a hint of anger at the corner of Tian Jian's mouth, and the two sword eyebrows were deeply squeezed together.
The dark yellow candle with eyes fluttered, reflecting the translucent reflection of the white-curtained palace, and a few insect chirpings were occasionally heard in the silence outside the palace, and the palace maid with a sad color prostrated on the ground, not daring to look directly.
The queen's emaciated cheeks flashed a little sad, and the gold-embroidered collar was a little soft because of the tears, and she coughed lightly, "Wang'er, are you blind to no one so soon?" ”
"Remember, Diao Bo is your master, that is, your teacher!"
With a scrutinizing gaze, Tian Jian's heart was flustered, and he whispered: "Queen Mother, widow... Jian'er... The words don't work at all, mink ... Taifu led the crowd to resist the royal decree of the widow, how can the widow not be angry? ”
"What's the matter, are you disgusted with your mother and want to be in your hands?" The queen looked at Tian Jian coldly, the plain black brocade robe was a little wide, but it also decorated her more majestic.
"No!" Tian Jian shook his head, "The king's decree cannot be disobeyed, Taifu is not insulting the widow, but insulting the king's power!" ”
"Kingship?" The queen sneered a few times, got up from the embroidered couch, and stared at Tian Jian tightly, "You can tolerate the violation when the royal power should be violated, but when it should not be violated, it is a capital crime, this king, what he did was not for the queen mother, nor for the first king, but the hundred officials of the court, the common people up and down the Qi country!" “
"Jian'er... I see. Tian Jian said in a deep voice.
"No, you don't understand! Understanding itself is a mistake, all you have to do is to be confused, to be confused about things, but in your heart, you have to be like a mirror, Qi Guo... You've just succeeded to the throne! The queen said lightly, she remembered the first king, Qixiang Wang Tian Fazhang, he was also so young and vigorous back then, seeing that his rights were restricted by An Pingjun, he was also angry, but anger could not solve the problem!
Wrath! Woe will come!
As soon as the words fell, Tian Jian's heart was like a lightning strike, he had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and the throne was unstable, how could he go to control the hundred officials, and he was not clear about the distribution of forces between the government and the opposition.
"Do you understand?" The queen glanced at Tian Jian with pity, she wanted to provoke the pillars of Qi at a young age, which was very cruel for a young man!
But the reality does not allow her to show mercy to him, because she wants to inherit the will of the previous king and hand over the Qi country to Tian Jian safely.
"The widow doesn't understand!" Tian Jian seems to have grown a lot, and he suddenly found that this world is not as simple as he thinks, and it is not as simple as inventing a few things to change.
When the values of social consciousness and modern consciousness do not match, either one side compromises, or one side ... Oppress one side!
"Wang'er, do you know Zhuangzi's getaway?" The queen had a smile on her face.
"Getaway?" Tian Jian nodded.
"There is a fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, the Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, it turns into a bird, and it is named Peng, Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is!" The queen chanted faintly.
"What does the queen mean?" Tian Jian wondered.
"Although Kunpeng is big, but you can't see the cockroach, although there are 800 years of the year, but you don't know the past of the Spring and Autumn Period, now although you are the king, but just like Kunpeng, you can't see the hard work of the people of Qi, although it is the most extreme in the world, but I don't know where the roots of Qi are.
Isn't it a joke? The queen stroked Tian Jian's forehead and said with a smile.
"Jian'er knows what to do!" Tian Jian nodded.
"It's not easy for you to understand that." The queen shook her head faintly and chuckled.
"The widow decided to go to Jimo to investigate the people's situation." Tian Jian said firmly.
"Jimo?" The queen was shocked, and sure enough, the grown bird was finally about to spread its wings and soar, but she didn't know how sad her mother was when she was empty in her arms.
"Why?" A smile erupted into the queen's mouth.
"If you can't know the people's suffering, you can't know the grains and crops, and you can't know the laws and regulations of the Qi country, how can you be the king of the widow?" Tian Jian said with a smile.
"That's right!" The queen smiled kindly, and the hand that stroked Tian Jian's forehead was a little deadlocked.
"Then the affairs of the court will be entrusted to the queen mother." Tian Jian's eyes looked into the distance, there was a journey, it was a tempering of his beliefs, and he didn't understand how the top and bottom of the Qi country could strengthen the army and change the law, and how to truly control the royal power!
"Don't worry, there is a queen mother in the affairs of the court." The queen nodded and said, "In addition, you should bring more guards, Jimo is different from Linzi, there are many inconveniences in eating and drinking, you have to be patient, don't be impulsive when you encounter things, don't be in a hurry about dangerous things, and protect your own safety." “
"The widow understands, you can rest assured that the queen mother!" Tian Jian smiled lightly, he had never felt that he was so energetic now, when everything had a goal, there was motivation in his heart.
"Good, good, good." The queen touched Tian Jian's forehead again, like a child when she was breastfeeding, her thoughts were constantly drifting, but she floated back, and there was more emotion on the way.
"What about Taifu's business?" The queen asked.
Tian Jian was dumbfounded for a while, hesitated slightly, and said: "Taifu was promoted to Xiangbang, this is what the widow said, it cannot be changed, the higher he stands, the more wrong he is, and the widow will see if he is loyal to the country or selfish." ”
"Hmm." The queen did not refute, although she was in charge of the power, but there was no problem with this disposition, and she was also a little dissatisfied with Mink Bo in her heart.
Although Mink Bo told her what happened, no one would have a good impression of the person who made the small report, but for the sake of face, she couldn't scold Mink Bo!
Now the Xiangbang proposed by Tian Jian seems to have elevated the position of Mink Bo, but the position of Taifu was originally one of the three dukes, and in fact, the power has not been greatly improved, even if the palace is opened, it may not be able to threaten the royal power.
The Tian Qi nobles supported the royal family surnamed Tian, not Ermine, nor any family, and when there was no conflict of interests, they were happy to help their own family, not others.
"Also, the widow wants to take An Pingjun with him this time." Tian Jian's eyes narrowed a little.
"An Pingjun?" A little question flashed through the queen's mind, "Why did you bring An Pingjun, he is very old." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Tian Jian's mouth: "If An Pingjun is here, the widow will be at ease, if An Pingjun is not there, the widow will be at peace." ”
An Pingjun had to take it, and Tian Jian needed his support.
He is like a double-edged sword, he can stab himself if he is not careful, but when he holds the hilt of the sword, he is a sharp weapon!
