Chapter 110: Little Auntie, Take a Seat
Princess Changle, the aunt of the current emperor Zhao Xianyuan, when he ascended the throne, the Murong family did not make a small contribution.
This is also why, over the years, among the four major families, the Murong family has been one of the reasons why they are favored ministers.
Princess Changle is nearly seventy years old, because of her age, she has hardly left the house these years, she likes to be pure, and it is said that she eats fasting and recites Buddha at home. It's still hard to see your own juniors, let alone outsiders.
During the New Year's holidays, the emperor will also send people to give gifts, and at the end of the year, they almost never see each other.
And today, she rarely entered the palace.
The Emperor naturally knew where she came from.
When Wang Shun came back and forth, the emperor sighed imperceptibly, and his expression was a little unpredictable for a while.
After a long time, he put away the gloom in his eyes and said, "Invite someone in." ”
When Princess Changle entered the door, what she saw was the emperor's face full of modesty: "If the little aunt has something, she just needs to pass it on, why did you come here in person?" ”
He couldn't find fault with his expression, and while stepping forward to support her, he asked people to serve tea and water.
Princess Changle did not sit down by his movements, but let go of the emperor's hand and saluted dignifiedly: "Your Majesty." ”
She was an elder, so she didn't need to bow down.
But today's gift was for another reason, and it made the emperor look even more embarrassed.
"Little aunt, in what capacity is this to salute me?"
As a royal princess, you don't need it.
But if it is the identity of the old lady of the Murong family, no matter how high the seniority, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister.
Princess Changle naturally understood the meaning of his words, sighed, and said with anger on her face: "The Murong family is ashamed of the emperor this time, and I have come to accuse him." ”
Seeing this, the emperor's expression became cold: "Little aunt, take a seat." ”
Although he still called her little aunt, Princess Changle's heart sank.
Seeing that the emperor returned to his position and sat down, Princess Changle paused, and said bluntly: "Murong Zhong is a fool, and he broke into a catastrophe outside, all because of the teachings of this palace. Now that the matter has come out, the palace does not ask for anything else, only the emperor, and spare his life. ”
As she spoke, she took out another token from her sleeve and placed her hands on the emperor's dragon case.
When he saw this token, the emperor's eyes fell on it uncontrollably.
It was a tiger talisman representing the Murong family's military power.
One of the biggest reasons why the Murong family was able to support him to ascend to the throne back then was that the Murong family had military power.
And now, Princess Changle handed it back with her own hands.
As for the price, it is to spare Murong Zhong's life.
The emperor's irrepressible heart moved.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Princess Changle didn't force him, just turned around and sat down, holding a teacup and waiting for the emperor's reply.
After the tea, I heard him speak: "Aunt should know that national affairs are not child's play, Murong Zhong is in vain for the government and the opposition, training private soldiers, killing Zhongliang, and all kinds of behaviors are difficult to mention. Today, my aunt came to ask me, and how did I serve the people? ”
His tone was very heavy, but Princess Changle stabilized her mind.
The emperor was asking her for an answer, and as long as the answer was enough to impress him, the matter would be discussed.
Princess Changle exhaled lightly and said, "Since the emperor has investigated, he should know that this matter is not entirely Murong Zhong's doing. Over the years, the Murong family has made a big splash, and now that something happens, those who fish in troubled waters take the opportunity to splash the water, they all rush up, it's not that my Murong family is too full of loopholes, it's that they have dirty hearts and try to divide the Murong family and eat it! ”
When she said this, her eyes were full of regret: "Everyone in the court and the middle of the country is under the guise of eliminating traitors, but how many of them really want the Haiyan River in North Vietnam to be clear?" Whether they are doing it for their own selfishness or seeking justice, the emperor doesn't know at all, right? ”
Princess Changle's words reduced the emperor's anger a little.
She didn't say this completely to excuse the Murong family, in fact, the emperor had also heard about what she said.
The four major families are constantly tumbling, even if it is not the Murong family that has an accident this time, but another family, I am afraid that there are many people who come out to take the opportunity to splash dirty water.
Everyone wants to fish in troubled waters, and that's because in troubled waters, it's easier to get benefits, that's all.
Speaking of which, this time the Murong family was found to be a private soldier, but even the emperor did not dare to guarantee that the other families must be innocent.
Not to mention......
What really moved the emperor was the words of Princess Changle.
She walked up to the emperor and looked earnestly: "The Murong family is always behind you, and the little aunt will not harm you." ”
Princess Changle's analysis, whether it moved the emperor or not, at least his face was moved: "Little aunt." ”
Zhao Xianyuan is not a son-in-law, let alone the eldest son, the first emperor had several sons, but in the end, it was he, the third prince who was not the eldest son.
He didn't know what he thought, and it took a while before he spoke: "In this matter, Murong Zhong has gone too far. ”
Princess Changle knew that he wanted a step.
And this step, she is happy to give.
"Emperor rest assured, the Murong family is sorry for you, this palace will give you an explanation for this matter."
She is very old, and her back is slightly rickety, but the momentum around her body is still undiminished.
The emperor sighed and nodded, "Okay." ”
……
When Zhao Huangge rushed to Qianyuan Palace, he was seeing the back of Princess Changle leaving.
After Wang Shuncai finished sending the person, he saw her coming, and said because of consideration: "Princess, the emperor is not in a good mood right now, do you want to come back later?" ”
The meaning of his words was very obvious, but Zhao Huangge shook his head, gritted his teeth and said: "You go to pass the word, this palace wants to see the imperial brother." ”
She didn't come over in a hurry for a long time, but Princess Changle has always been the master who does not stop until she reaches her goal, and what can make her leave so quickly must be that the imperial brother has already promised her something!
Zhao Huangge guessed well, after she entered the hall, what she saw was the emperor's thoughtful face.
"Come here in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Huangge saluted first, and then said: "I heard that the little aunt is here, and the courtier wanted to say hello to her, but I didn't want her to leave in a hurry." ”
She said this in a roundabout way, but the emperor was very frank, beckoned her to come over, and said, "Look at this." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Huangge walked over, but after seeing the things on the table, he took a breath and frowned: "Tiger Fu? ”
This piece of tiger talisman is on the defense of Kyoto, that is to say, Princess Changle came today to hand over most of the military power in the hands of Jingzhong and the Xiao family.
The Emperor nodded and said, "So, I'm going to take a step back." ”
Even though he knew that Murong Zhong was raising private soldiers behind his back, the emperor had no intention of really uprooting the Murong family.
The family has a solid foundation in North Vietnam, where is it so easy to move? The reason why he wants to make a big deal out of it is just to make a profit from it.
The civil and military officials want to seek benefits, doesn't he, the emperor, want to be the emperor?
And now, his purpose has been achieved.
The Murong family is the first, and if they decline, it will inevitably lead to the flaws of other families.
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Zhao Huangge's face turned pale, and she could already see the other party's plan from the emperor's face.
Not to mention Zhao Xianyuan's obvious words.
She bit her lip and said bitterly, "Brother Huang, this matter is not appropriate. Now that the evidence is conclusive, all the piles and piles are directed at the Murong family, and the imperial brother is taking Murong Zhong lightly at this time, so how can the Manchu Dynasty civil and military see it? ”
She tried her best, but it wasn't as simple as just receiving a tiger talisman!
The Murong family was the first one she wanted to get rid of, and no one in the family after that wanted to escape.
Because only their fall will be the beginning of a change in North Vietnam!
However, Zhao Huangge said so much, but in the end, he saw that the emperor's face completely sank.
There was coldness in his voice, and he asked: "Why, Ah Ruan is also interested in political affairs?" ”
The emperor's words were not serious, but Zhao Huangge broke out in a cold sweat when he reacted to the other party's meaning.
"Brother, I'm ......"
Zhao Huangge tried to explain, but the emperor waved his hand and interrupted her, with a warning in his voice: "I know that you want to participate in political affairs, and I have no objection. But you are young and have little experience, and if you want to participate, you need to listen and watch more, understand? ”
