Sakura was overjoyed when she heard this, and responded sweetly: "The maidservant obeys the order." When he looked up, the figures of the emperor and Wang Bao'er had disappeared into the twilight.
The emperor stepped into the main hall of Yuxiu Palace, and saw Jing Xuanzheng and Wang Cairen's sons Li Bin and Xue Qing sitting around for dinner. Li Bin was just five years old, but due to the violent death of his biological mother, he had lost his heart since he was a child, and his expression and demeanor were full of indifference and precociousness. He sat quietly in the corner of a few cases, looking indifferently at Xueyan, who was not yet three years old, coquettishly to his mother, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty!" Jing Xuan looked up and saw the emperor, shouted with surprise on his face, and immediately beckoned to the two children, "Go and see your father." ”
The emperor was full of worries, so he only bent down and gently patted the little heads of the two children, and then ordered Jinping who was standing aside: "Take Bin'er and Xueyan down, I have something to say to your mother." ”
Jing Xuan had vaguely heard some rumors about King Mu being placed under house arrest in Gangneung City by King Gangneung, and when he saw that the emperor came without telling him, he thought that he must have come for this matter.
After Jinping and the two children retreated, Jing Xuan personally made a bowl of tea for the emperor and held it over, and asked with concern: "The emperor hasn't had dinner yet, right?" The concubine ordered someone to do it again. ”
Seeing that there was a plate of osmanthus cake in the dinner that had not yet been removed, the emperor reached out and picked up a piece and stuffed it in his mouth, chewing it slowly and said to Jing Xuan: "It is enough for me to eat two cushions and be hungry." Don't alarm anyone else. I remember that my concubine had talked to me about it some time ago. The two suspects who deliberately fabricated rumors in the palace to confuse the public seem to have something to do with the concubine who is now living in Nannei. I don't know if there is any new progress in this matter now, what is the relationship between the concubine and these two people? ”
Jing Xuan sat down beside the emperor and persuaded Wen Yan: "No matter how urgent the affairs of the court are, Your Majesty must not be sloppy in the sloppiness of his diet, so he must take extra care of the dragon's body." Later, ask someone to prepare some late-night snacks to use. ”
Seeing that the emperor was speechless, she answered the emperor's inquiry: "The concubine ordered people to inquire in many ways and learned that these two palace people in the Shangfu Bureau have a deep relationship with the concubine: since the concubine married the first emperor as the chief daughter of the Linyi tribe, the Zhong family has served in front of her. Especially during the period when the rebels captured Chang'an, only Zhong accompanied the concubine to hide the people and escaped the ravages of the rebels, so the concubine was able to be promoted to Concubine Li after the first emperor ascended to recover Chang'an.
And Tang Guo'er was originally born in Linyi, and her father was originally a Linyi warrior who escorted the concubine to Chang'an, named Nabro. Later, because of admiration for the civilized and indoctrinated style of our dynasty, the whole family lived in Chang'an City. Take the Han name Tang Shouli, the official to Zuo Weiwei Wupin soldiers and horses commanding envoys, five years ago Tang Shouli was sentenced for some reason, the whole family was reduced to slavery, this Tang Guoer was named Na Yu when she was young, and she also had a sister named Na Zhu, married to Zhang Liang as a concubine......"
When the emperor heard this, he seemed to suddenly understand something, raised his hand to interrupt Jing Xuan, and said: "In this way, the concubine has already been connected with the Zhang family through the relationship of Nazhu. I never imagined that the fish and mussels competing and the fishermen profiting would be repeated in this dynasty! ”
Jing Xuan didn't know why, and explained to the emperor: "Judging from the background of these two people alone, although they have a close relationship with the concubine, it is not enough to show that what these two people have done recently is due to the instructions of the concubine, please be cautious." ”
The emperor shook his head disapprenorovingly: "The concubine has good thoughts, all because she has not solved the key to it. I originally thought that with the prestige of the Zhang family in the harem in the past, I could tolerate Concubine Li to be favored by her father and the emperor, and she was ranked as a noble concubine, because she was born in a remote state in the south, and there was no power in the court to rely on, which was not enough to threaten herself. He linked Zhang Liang's defection to Nazhu brother Nasimo and Li Shu's sudden attack on the king of Mu and recounted it to Jing Xuan in detail, and then asked Jing Xuan: "What will Concubine Ai think of this matter after listening to Lian's narration?" ”
With Jing Xuan's intelligence, although she heard the meaning of the emperor's words, but the matter was too big, she didn't dare to speculate, so she got up and saluted the emperor, and said: "What Your Majesty asked, it is already related to the government, how dare the concubines say anything?" ”
The emperor smiled, stretched out his hand to help Jing Xuan, and said, "There are only you and me here, so what's the matter?" Don't hide it from Concubine Ai, Lian thought about Li Shu's sudden attack on the matter, and thought hard for a long time, but he still couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to listen to Concubine Ai's words here, but he suddenly opened up, and he was suffering from the fact that there was no one around him to discuss how to deal with it, so he came to disturb Concubine Ai's tranquility. I hope that Concubine Ai doesn't have to have any scruples, just say what she thinks in her heart. ”
Jing Xuan was still not at ease, and said with a smile: "There are all civil and military ministers in the court, and their knowledge and talent are slightly far above the concubines. The concubines did not dare to obey their orders. ”
The emperor snorted heavily in his nose and said angrily: "If you follow them, you will either send troops to recruit or issue an edict to appease you, and you will ruin my great affairs." ”
Jing Xuan took the opportunity to ask: "But I don't know who is the main one and who is the main caresman?" ”
The emperor glanced at Jing Xuan and replied: "The Duke of Jin thought that Li Shu's move was a rebellion, and he first proposed to send troops to conscript, and proposed to stop making peace with Tubo; Mr. Liu thought that his uncle had left his nephew in the vassal territory for a few more days, and at most he was responsible for not knowing the general situation, which should not be regarded as rebellion, and strongly persuaded Li Shu to release him in order to complete the plan of repairing Tibet. It's a pity that Jing Gong is sick in bed, otherwise, I really want to hear his opinion. If it hadn't been for your father's face-to-face reminder a few days ago, I really couldn't think of a way to reconcile with Tubo and relatives to stabilize the south and disperse the evil party in Beijing. I knew that Concubine Ai inherited her family education at a young age and was quite proficient in strategy, so I came to discuss and consider with Concubine Ai. ”
Jing Xuan first heard the emperor mention Liu Yi, and unconsciously turned red, and then heard him talk about his father, and his heart was even more sour: his father was clothed with liver and gall and fought on the battlefield for the country, but he was jealous because of his high merits and lived in Chang'an for many years. Soon after the new emperor ascended to the pole, the rebels made a comeback, and his father wanted to ask Ying to lead the army to fight to relieve the king's worries, but he was still not reused, and he wasted his time with the empty title of deputy marshal of the top soldiers and horses, and his father's illness was completely caused by depression, and the emperor knew about it but had always been indifferent.
