Chapter 26: The Power of the Ministers (2)
The loud noise at the palace gate soon attracted the attention of Taorui. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At first, I was flustered. Tao Rui is a careful and deep person. The princess's situation in the Wei Palace Tao Rui knew very well, so she was shocked and scared whenever there was a commotion. Seeing Luoying sleeping peacefully on the couch, not being woken up by the sound outside, Tao Ruide quickly went out to see the situation.
Out of the Fengyi Palace, I didn't care about the heavy rain, and the ground was full of dead branches and fallen flowers that were deceived by the wind and rain, just like the desolation when the autumn day withered. Suddenly seeing a person breaking into the rain, it was a soft costume that made Taorui's heart feel relieved. Looking more closely, Tao Rui was surprised and delighted, and called loudly, "Shizi! "It's like seeing a benefactor who saves people from the pain of hanging upside down.
"Where's my sister?" Baldaujia went straight to the point, and walked up the stone steps. It was not easy for him to come once, so naturally he hurried to see Luoying.
"The princess is asleep in it." Tao Rui followed, and the two of them entered the Fengyi Hall together.
Regardless of the rules, Bald Tujia went straight to the inner bed. Except for a few Rouran slaves and maids in the hall, all of them were palace maids of the Wei Palace, and they were startled by the sudden intrusion of the Rouran Shizi, and they all looked sideways.
When Bald Tujia saw the bed tent that Tao Rui had picked up, and his sister Luoying was sleeping on the couch, his heart fell to the ground at this time, and he gasped for breath.
"Your Highness!" Tao Rui called Luo Ying loudly.
Luo Ying opened her eyes. When she saw the scene in front of her, there was not the slightest surprise, not even the slightest indication of abnormality.
Bald Tujia walked over, and sat down on the edge of the couch without caring about being drenched, leaning over and looking down at Luo Ying. His sister was also a bright and fresh flower, where is it now so scorched and dry wood? The hair is still jet black but has lost its luster. The eyes can be beautiful, but they are no longer good.
Luo Ying looked at Bald Tujia in a daze, and suddenly blurted out, "Brother, the peach blossoms have fallen, but it's a pity that I can never go back to the Rouran Royal Court." ”
The bald protrusion was seen. Yes, he also knew in his heart that Luo Ying could never go back. Whether she is alive or dead, she can only be this nominal queen in the Wei Palace for the rest of her life. He tried to comfort her, but he couldn't say anything.
Tears poured out, and the anger in Bald Tujia's heart suddenly turned into ambition and responsibility. It was he who took charge of the fate of the clan as the future khan of Rouran, and made a covenant with Yuwentai in Chang'an. And this result, he must also bear it.
From a selfish point of view, his sister-in-law has become what she is today, and it is also indirectly caused by him, although he does not want to do so.
"Sister, don't worry," he glanced down at Luo Ying's stomach. Even if there is a quilt covering, it is obvious. Bald Tujia suddenly gained a lot of confidence. "With my sister's little prince here, my younger brother will definitely not let my sister suffer like this again."
Unexpectedly, Luo Ying shook her head. She suddenly felt in her heart that her brother could no longer be relied on. At this time, Bald Jia was just like herself a few months ago, thinking that she could rely on it with the imperial bloodline. This is very wrong, and it is because of this that she was impulsive and reckless, and she has today's results.
She couldn't let her brother repeat the same mistakes.
Bald Tujia is also an extremely intelligent person. What Luo Ying did, he clearly understood in his heart. But after all, this is his sister, and he can't watch her fall into the Wei Palace like this. At this time, his heart aroused resentment towards Yuwentai.
If it weren't for Yuwentai's selfishness, obstinate and domineering, how could it be such an ending?
In the early morning, after several days of rain, the sky finally cleared. It was still very early, and the crown princess Yuwen had already felt the dazzling sunlight outside in the Chengqian Palace.
The crown princess Yuwen is the daughter of the great prime minister Yuwentai, and she is loved by small characters. Her biological mother was born in the end of the year and retreated as a concubine, and the pity of her biological mother's early death was raised by the side of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying when she was a child. Later, the Western Wei Dynasty was established, and the king of Nanyang, Yuan Baoju, ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and asked Yuan Qin, whose son was made the crown prince, to marry the daughter of the prime minister as the crown princess. Mercy was married to Yuan Qin as the crown prince and concubine as the concubine of the prime minister.
When they first got married, Yuan Qin and Lianai were both young. Yuan Qin has a decisive personality, strong and slightly irritable. Mercy is also a human being, as its name suggests, heroic and practiced. This small character taken from the ancient famous sword was taken by her mother-in-law, the deceased eldest princess Yuan Yuying. But just as there are many unfathomable things in the world, Yuan Qin and Mercy are extraordinarily compatible. The two got married when they were young, and they have been married for several years, and they have always been in love with each other.
Pity grew up beside the eldest princess Yuan Yuying, because she has been exposed to it for a long time, and her temperament is very similar to that of her mother. Although she can ride and shoot and write poetry, as the crown princess, she has always done her best to be a woman, and she has never been slack off with courtesy to her husband and the crown prince.
Mercy had already woken up when it was still dark. Yu Mu was meticulous in her makeup, and when Yuan Qin woke up, she loved to serve her husband, and she had already decorated it neatly, and there was no one who was disordered and careless.
Love is a careful person and a caring person. She had already noticed that this morning was different from usual, and she was very silent and silent. She didn't ask a word, and when she saw the palace maids serving the same, when she turned around again, Yuan Qin was gone.
Mercy did not call the slave and the maid, and walked out of the dormitory by herself, and sure enough, she saw the familiar person standing on the stone steps under the eaves outside the hall, and she was always worried about it.
At this time, the beloved henchman Xiangzhi disappeared from the crown princess, and she also followed. Just now when she walked to Mercy's side to speak, Mercy raised her hand and stopped her, not allowing her to go any further, and naturally not allowing her to talk more. Xiang Zhi understood, didn't dare to make a sound, and looked up at the prince who didn't know yet.
Mercy knows that today is the first time that the crown prince is officially in charge of the government. Although the Chinese dynasty of the Liangyi Hall is not a great court, it is precisely because of this that the central court of the Liangyi Hall often discusses matters of great importance to the society, regardless of size. Mercy understands that the emperor Yuan Bao Ju was disheartened at this time, sick and sick, and he was getting old, and he had already had no intention of political affairs.
Her husband, the crown prince Yuanqin, has been in charge of the country for a long time, but the real Great Wei Jiangshan is supported by her father, Yuwentai, the prime minister. Of course, Lianai also understands that at this time, whether the delicate relationship between her husband, the crown prince Yuanqin, and her father, the prime minister Yuwentai, can be reconciled is far more important than the prince learning how to govern the country.
Yuan Qin may have sensed the abnormality behind him and slowly turned around. The moment he turned around, Mercy saw the heaviness on his brow. But Yuan Qin smiled as soon as he saw Mercy, and at the same time immediately walked over to her, walked to her side, regardless of Xiangzhi still on the side, approached Mercy and bowed his head and smiled with her, "Standing here quietly, haven't you looked carefully?" ”
Mercy blushed.
Xiang Zhi retreated.
"I want to see what my husband looks like in the Liangyi Palace." Mercy looked up and whispered back.
Seeing the look of pity and yearning, Yuan Qin's smile faded. His father is a puppet emperor, he is only the crown prince at this time, can he override his loving father, the great prime minister Yu Wentai, to govern by himself?
Yuan Qin looked at Lian Ai carefully and couldn't bear to let her down. Isn't he himself hot-blooded and has the ambition of an emperor? But he, the prince, can't show that he has great ambitions. How unfair is this to him?
Yuan Qin didn't want Mercy to worry, and couldn't say what was in his heart in front of her, lest Mercy worry about him. Smiled reluctantly, "Naturally, there will be a day, Qingqing must wait for me." He reached out and gently stroked his loving cheek.
The pity was only reciprocated with a smile, and did not speak again. She knew that it was best for her not to mention her father in front of her husband, so as not to add to the problem. Say too much, say too little, as long as it is not appropriate, it is not good. It would be better for her to stand by and wait until something really happens.
The sky was bright, and sure enough, as Mercy had thought before, it was a good weather with exceptionally bright and dazzling sunshine.
Except for the crown prince Yuanqin in the Liangyi Palace, no one in the Liangyi Hall had any different feelings.
It is not the first time that the crown prince Yuanqin has come to the Liangyi Hall to listen to the government. But he was about to go to the throne of the emperor as the ruler of the Great Wei. Today is the official court, and it is the first time that he and the prime minister Yu Wentai are in the court to listen to the government.
He didn't know what kind of attitude his father-in-law, Yu Wentai, the imperial minister of Great Wei and the prime minister of Great Wei, would treat him. When he had not really sat on the throne of his imperial father, his understanding of the ministers was far from clear and profound.
The crown prince Yuanqin entered the Liangyi Hall and was bowed by the courtiers, and then he found that there were two seats for the head. The two beds are set up exactly the same and stand side by side. This is clearly the prime minister Yu Wentai will sit with him. I don't know if this is the order of the prime minister, or which courtier is courteous, or is it simply the palace slave who makes his own opinion?
No matter what the situation is, it is enough to make Yuan Qin's heart burn. The national rite cannot be abolished, and the discussion in these two ceremonial halls is the state affair, and the national rite is practiced. He is a king, although he is still only a prince, but the courtesy of a monarch cannot be abolished. No matter how powerful the prime minister is, he is always a courtier in name. If he himself has this command, it is a transgression.
If it is a courtier or a servant in the palace who is diligent and makes his own opinions, then the problem is even more serious. It shows that the courtiers and minions don't take him as a prince in their eyes at all, and they don't think that he has the status of the son of heaven. In their eyes, he is not as important as the prime minister.
No matter what Yuan Qin thought, everything seemed to be very normal, no one raised objections, and no one thought it was not feasible. Yu Wentai was naturally unceremonious, and walked to the bed and sat down without asking others. He didn't even need to say a few words to the crown prince Yuan Qinqian, even if it was just superficial humility.
Yuan Qin saw that Yuwentai had already walked to the banquet bed and sat down, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and walked over and sat down on the banquet bed next to Yuwentai. Yu Wentai didn't look at him at all, nor did he say a polite word to him. It seems that it is not the prince who is beside him, but really just a student of the Chenglang Mansion. His willingness to take him to study has already given him a lot of face.
Today, there are several generals of the Pillar Kingdom in the Liangyi Palace, and at a glance, it is clear that the things discussed must be related to military affairs. Today's Great Wei, although it is not a few years ago that natural disasters have continued, but it has come through the wind and rain, and its national strength is still weak. The biggest thing is the external trouble, the external trouble is uneven, how can we calm down and enrich the country and the people?
At present, the most fatal external trouble is the dispute between the two Weis. Sooner or later, there will be a decisive battle between the two Wei, and this battle is directly related to the life and death of the two Wei.
After the ceremony, Yu Wentai motioned for several Zhu Guo generals to sit down and speak. Yu Jin, Zhao Gui and others all sat on the ground, looking at the crown prince and the prime minister who were sitting side by side, at least none of them showed abnormalities on the surface.
Guangling Wang Yuanxin was also one of the great generals of the Zhu Kingdom. It's just that he, the general of the Pillar Kingdom, is actually in name, and of course he clearly understands it in his own heart. So I never dare to do much, and I still keep it simple so as not to cause trouble. Others worry about whether they can do their job. All he had to worry about was how not to arouse suspicion.
Yuan Xin didn't know why Prime Minister Yu Wentai suddenly announced him to the Liangyi Hall today, but he decided not to say much and try not to express his position in everything.
Yuan Xin hadn't seen Yuwentai for months. I obviously feel that Yuwentai is very different from before. I never had that kind of arrogance before. Yuan Xin subconsciously glanced at the unnatural look of Prince Yuan Qin beside Yuwentai, and he sympathized and regretted it in his heart.
Looking at Yuan Qin's expression, Yuan Xin could think of what he felt in his heart. But the taste of being a puppet doesn't stop there, I'm afraid that the subsequent experience will make the prince more unforgettable and unbearable. In the middle of frying Ao, if the prince endures it, it will be just doing nothing, at least saving his life. If he can't bear it, he will end up like his younger brother Yuan Gong when the Great Wei was not divided, or the first emperor Yuan Xiu, who fled to Chang'an and still died miserably. If you are angry, you will end up with an axe.
"Brother Qingle, I haven't seen each other for a long time, are you okay?" When Yuan Xin was distracted, he suddenly heard the voice of Yuwentai like a thunderbolt above his head. Yuan Xin was so shocked that he instantly raised his head as if he had been poured ice water from his head, and an unnatural smile quickly appeared on his face in an instant, and he replied without asking, "What the prime minister said is very true, Qingle obeys the prime minister's orders." His voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't help himself and unconsciously glanced at Prince Yuanqin.
Yuan Qin saw King Guangling's expression and almost burst into tears when he heard his reply. Yuan Qin hadn't paid much attention to it before, but at this time, Fang felt that Yuan Xin was old and no longer tall and strong. Yuan Qin also felt embarrassed when he heard his words, and he regretted Yuan Xin very much. I have mixed feelings. He didn't know, Yuan Xin sympathized with him more.
Yu Wentai burst out laughing, laughing uncontrollably. After laughing, he suddenly glanced at Yuan Qin, and said to Yuan Xin again, "Brother Qingle didn't entertain singing and dancing at home, and he had already thrown the government out of the clouds, right?" ”
Yuan Xin didn't make an excuse, but only lowered his head and replied, "I'm ashamed, let the prime minister laugh." ”
Yu Jin and Zhao Gui were nothing, but when they saw Duguxin and Li Hu sitting opposite, their faces were expressionless, very weird, and they felt that something was wrong. (To be continued.) )
