Chapter 598: Empress
When Zheng Ying was in the Anguo Mansion, Zheng Jin had already arrived at Yuyang Palace. Sure enough, Empress Wei had heard about the early dynasty and was so angry that she cried, and Concubine Wen was sitting aside to comfort her.
"The prince is here." As soon as she saw Zheng Jin coming in, Concubine Wen stood up with great insight: "Then the concubine will go back first, and don't disturb the mother and the prince to talk." Lord Wang, when something like this happens, Niangniang is sad, you can comfort and comfort her. ”
Zheng Jin nodded at Concubine Wen, who quickly left. After she left, Empress Wei, who had been bowing her head and shedding tears, raised her head, half complaining, half expectantly asked, "Why did you come here alone?" ”
"Sister Sanhuang still has something to do." Zheng Jin replied gently: "I can only enter the palace to see the queen mother after about noon." ”
"Hongu didn't ask your sister again." Empress Wei seemed even more upset and began to wipe her tears again.
"Queen Mother," Zheng Jin coaxed Empress Wei in a good voice: "There are so many things in the court today, where does my father have time to come to you." ”
"However, your uncle ...... them" Empress Wei just wanted to complain, but was interrupted by Zheng Jin: "Queen Mother, don't meddle in this matter." At present, the imperial court is short of money, and the Wei family is involved in tax evasion, how can my father let it go? You must have heard, right? Today, the Anguo Mansion of the DPRK took the lead in donating silver for military expenses, and Gu Daxue and Hubu Shangshu also donated, don't you see? The father wanted the courtiers to donate. ”
"Naturally, Hongu knows." Empress Wei replied with an unhappy face: "Your father has been worried about the northern army for many days. Those courtiers can speak well on weekdays, and when there is really something, I don't see anyone who can really share the worries of your father, and it is also appropriate for them to donate some money. ”
"It's still the queen mother who knows how to think about her father," Zheng Jin could only pick up the nice words and say: "Therefore, the queen mother must also know that today's troubles in the Anguo Mansion have been arranged a long time ago." Last night, the five emperor brothers knocked on the door of the palace in the middle of the night, you don't know. The Five Emperor Brothers worked so hard in the middle of the night for the sake of today's events. ”
"yes!" Empress Wei frowned: "After he entered the palace last night, your father and emperor hurriedly ordered the household department to enter the palace...... In this way, these things are all the ideas of the old five? ”
"The five emperor brothers are also worried about the country." Zheng Jin replied unhurriedly: "Today's errand, he did a beautiful job. Therefore, the queen mother, you can't meddle in the affairs of the Wei family. Do you think, why didn't the imperial historians participate in the early and late performances, but today? In time for the day when the old lady of the Anguo Mansion carried the silver to the court? Participated in the Wei family's tax evasion? The father didn't even ask the ministers for their opinions, and directly sent the imperial historian to jointly investigate with the criminal department. Don't you understand this? This is the father who wants to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey. After a while? Father Emperor will definitely issue a decree to investigate tax evasion and illegal land trading throughout the country with great fanfare? The case of the Wei family and Lin Xiang, the father will definitely handle it strictly? No one can intervene. The queen's mother's family has been brought to justice, no matter who is found at that time? None of them have the confidence to dare to shout grievances? ”
"This idea must have come from the old five." Empress Wei was so angry that her liver hurt: "Okay! He's going to buy it in front of your father? Take our Wei family out to set up a raft. He is so selfless and worries about the country, why didn't he check whether the Xie family had evaded taxes first? I think this old five, since Xie Xiangbao protected him, is he very proud? I'm afraid you don't think this is the position of the prince? It's already in his pocket. ”
"Queen Mother!" Seeing whether Empress Wei had grasped the key point, Zheng Jin sighed helplessly, but could only explain patiently: "None of this is important, the important thing is that the five emperor brothers have done a series of things beautifully?" It is beneficial to the society, and it is also completely in line with the emperor's wishes? No one can fault it. Mother, do you need to understand? Who is it right now, against the Five Emperor Brothers? Is it against the imperial court? Is it also against his father? You must not find trouble with him at this time, and you must not cry and complain in front of your father because of the Wei family. ”
"It's hard to watch! Watching him grow bigger step by step will force you to no return! Empress Wei slapped on the coffee table, the delicate tea cup flipped to the side, and the tea flowed to the ground, soaking the corners of Empress Wei's gorgeous skirt.
"The ministers will discuss this matter with Li Xiang, and the queen mother should not interfere." Zheng Jin was too lazy to watch Empress Wei lose her temper, so he stood up and patiently continued to persuade in a good voice: "Queen Mother, your sons advise you." In small things, my father is willing to get used to you and follow you, but today's matter involves the safety of the society, and my father can't tolerate your petty nature. Erchen has told the third emperor sister to go to the household department as soon as possible to donate silver, queen mother, you are the queen, you should be an example of the world, and you must also respond as soon as possible. ”
"It's nature." Empress Wei replied with a sigh: "This palace is not really ignorant. The palace has already ordered that this year's expenses in the palace will be cut in half, and all of them will be donated for military expenses in the north. ”
"That's the best." Zheng Jin nodded: "Then the minister will retire first." ”
Empress Wei didn't get angry in front of her son, but as soon as Zheng Jin left, she smashed the tea bowl directly. The palace maid in charge of Yuyang Palace hurriedly came in, and while cleaning up, she persuaded: "Niangniang, King Yi persuaded you to say those words, it is also for your good, why do you have such a big temper." ”
"Bengong naturally knows that Jin'er is for the good of Bengong." Empress Wei replied in a hurried tone: "This palace is just angry!" Until now, the palace has to sing on stage for Zheng Ying. The mother of this palace is the world, what if you set this example? Even if the officials donate silver, the credit is not Jin'er's. It's the other way around! If this continues, I think the fifth child is afraid that he will be on the throne. On that day, it was too late to say anything! Jin'er is really, a man, so indecisive. ”
"Niangniang, you dissipate your anger, our King Yi is all right, how can he be an indecisive person?" The palace maid in charge persuaded softly and slowly: "It's just that the mother must also be considerate of King Yi's difficulties." After all, our prince and King Xin are brothers, and the two grew up together. Niangniang, in fact, think about it from another angle, there are some things that do not need to be brought forward by King Yi in person, and King Yi does not know about it, which is the best. ”
"Makes sense." Empress Wei listened to the words of the palace maid in charge, and nodded thoughtfully: "What Jin'er is inconvenient to do, this palace will do it for you." You go and ask Yun Bai to enter the palace. ”
"Niang Niang Shengming." The palace maid in charge replied respectfully, "Yun Bai is indeed a suitable candidate. Until now, he has the trust of the king! ”
