Chapter 103 What Does It Look Like?
In Cining Palace, Concubine Liu pulled Zhang Yan with a smile on her face and said homely words. Zhang Yan sat on the side and smiled from time to time and cared about Concubine Liu's body, both of them are not the kind of characters who like power and love to meddle in things, and they naturally complement each other when they get along.
"I heard that you reprimanded Wen Zhenmeng yesterday?" Concubine Liu asked curiously.
"He came to Grandmother, did you complain?" Zhang Yan asked with a chuckle.
"He's coming to me, but of course he doesn't dare to complain about you in front of me, I listened to what the palace people said below, saying that you reprimanded Wen Zhenmeng yesterday and didn't dare to say a word, it's very prestigious!" Concubine Liu smiled kindly.
"Grandmother laughed, Wen Zhenmeng is a cabinet minister, where will I reprimand him, but he presented me with the pros and cons in detail, hoping that I can persuade the emperor to allocate two or five million silver from the treasury to train soldiers and suppress thieves, I told him that I think he is very reasonable, but the harem will never interfere in politics!" Zhang Yan explained.
"It's just that the emperor is a little too loose compared to the past, and I also think Wen Zhenmeng is very reasonable, the world was originally the emperor's, and now there are thieves destroying the emperor's country, shouldn't the emperor take some inner treasury silver out to suppress the thieves?" Concubine Liu asked puzzled.
"Grandmother, who do you think we know more about state affairs than the emperor?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.
"Of course it's the emperor, I've lived for decades and never understood that!" Concubine Liu said with a smile.
"Does grandmother think the emperor is stupid?" Zhang Yan asked again.
"The emperor is something I've seen since I was a child, but he's smart!" Concubine Liu squinted and smiled.
"Then grandmother, do you believe in Wen Zhenmeng or in the emperor?"
"Naturally, I believe in the emperor! I won't be worried if you say this, the emperor must have done a better job than me! I'm an old woman who doesn't have much to do with that! Concubine Liu said with a sigh of relief in her heart.
Zhang Yan helped Concubine Liu to walk outside the house and bask in the sun. People are easy to get sleepy when they get old, and it just so happens that the sun is shining today, and it won't take long for Concubine Liu to lie on the chair and fall asleep!
Zhang Yan ordered someone to bring a futon and gently cover it for Concubine Liu, a touch of sadness suddenly appeared on her originally quiet face, and she looked at the sleeping Concubine Liu and sighed softly, and then sat quietly and looked at the Buddhist scriptures.
When Yang Su came in from outside the hall, he saw Zhang Yan reading quietly in the sun, and couldn't help but stop and feel uneasy!
Wang Chengen followed behind and saw Yang Su's appearance, thinking that the emperor was fascinated by Empress Zhang again, and immediately secretly beckoned the palace people to retreat, never thinking about it but letting Zhang Yan notice.
"The emperor is here!" Zhang Yan stood up and greeted with some embarrassment.
Originally, she felt that she had forgotten what happened last time, but when she saw Yang Su, she couldn't help but think about it, and even thought of what Queen Zhou said, even with her temperament, she was a little helpless in the face of Yang Su at the moment.
"Imperial sister-in-law, is the concubine in good health?" Yang Su changed the subject.
"The concubine is in good health, but she is just worried about the emperor! And the concubine is old, if the emperor is okay recently, come to see the concubine more! Zhang Yan said pointedly.
"It's my fault, I let the concubine worry about me, I really don't want to go, I will definitely come to say hello every day in the future!" Yang Su sighed and asked Zhang Yan softly, "What is the so-called matter of the imperial sister-in-law calling me this time?" β
"Wen Zhenmeng came to me yesterday, the harem should not have interfered in major national affairs, I just think that the emperor's proposal to implement the matter of the crime is a little too anxious! If the emperor is short of silver, I still have more than 100,000 taels of silver here, although it is not much, but it may be able to solve the urgent need for a while! Zhang Yan was afraid of waking up Concubine Liu, so she led Yang Su to the side, stopped under the poplar tree, and turned around to remind.
"Does the imperial sister-in-law believe me?" Yang Su looked at Zhang Yan's eyes, but found that she was dodging without a trace.
"I naturally believe in the emperor!" Zhang Yan turned her head sideways and replied.
"I have a plan for the guilt silver, I understand the pros and cons, please rest assured, I won't make a mess!" Yang Su assured.
"It's good that the emperor knows it!" Zhang Yan bowed slightly, and suddenly blushed sideways, and said softly, "Although the emperor is worried about state affairs, the emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and the heirs are very important. The emperor should never have some thoughts that should not be there, and snub the palace concubines, at least Queen Zhou has to go often, otherwise Queen Zhou will be criticized! β
"Okay, I understand, sister-in-law, I'll take the time to meet Empress Zhou!" Yang Su casually agreed.
Yang Su is different from Chongzhen, he really doesn't dare to have any undesirable thoughts about Zhang Yan, as the emperor, he has all kinds of beauties he wants, and he still lets him pick them, why bother to get into this trouble! Only today he had to do something extraordinary!
"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter, last time you also heard Queen Zhou, she misses you very much! And the crown prince is still young, and the emperor should think more about the issue of heirs! Zhang Yan said bitterly.
Yang Su nodded, the issue of heirs is a big problem for other emperors, and the infant mortality rate is extremely high in these years, and it is indeed worrying to have only one young prince. Many emperors could not even sit on the throne because they had no heirs, such as Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu, whose only crown prince died and did not give birth to children for many years, so some people were born with two hearts and re-supported Yingzong to launch a coup d'Γ©tat.
But Yang Su is different, he has already cultivated the Yuan Shen, unless he dies by himself, or the Ming Dynasty dies. So there is no need to think about the issue of heirs at all.
"Your Majesty, I've told you so many times! What you think is impossible! Don't fantasize about this, it's just a moment of impulse when you're young, and you should forget about it after a while! Don't let that delay the big thing! Zhang Yan sighed lightly and persuaded again.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand!" Yang Su responded with a positive color.
Zhang Yan bowed her head slightly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, put her hands on her abdomen, and stood quietly aside.
Yang Su didn't say goodbye and leave, but suddenly approached Zhang Yan, stretched out his hands to grab her Rouyi tightly, and pressed her under the tree under Zhang Yan's shocked gaze.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing!" Zhang Yan opened her mouth in horror and shouted softly.
Yang Su smiled bitterly and explained, "Imperial sister-in-law, I want to know what the obscene clothes you are wearing today look like!" β
"Your Majesty, do you know what you're doing?" Zhang Yanfeng asked with a stunned gaze.
"Imperial sister-in-law, I beg you, I really have a last resort!" Yang Su pleaded.
"You let me go right away!" Zhang Yan stared at Yang Su in a stern tone, and tried to withdraw her hands hard.
"No, Imperial Sister-in-law, you must tell me today!" Yang Su held Zhang Yan to prevent her from breaking free.
"Are you really not letting go?" Zhang Yan asked with an expressionless face and an indifferent tone.
"Imperial sister-in-law, please tell me! If you don't tell me, I'll see for myself! Yang Su threatened Zhang Yan to pick off her clothes.
Zhang Yan suddenly became confused, and asked angrily, "Then I don't agree, do you want to use force on me, do you want to force me to death?" β
"Imperial sister-in-law is damned by me, I was too anxious to say the wrong thing just now, imperial sister-in-law, you are angry!" Yang Su apologized again and again.
Zhang Yan's face eased slightly, turned her head sideways, and didn't want to deal with Yang Su anymore.
Just when Yang Su hesitated, Concubine Liu, who was originally asleep, suddenly let out a soft groan from her mouth, undoubtedly waking up from sleep!
