Chapter 128: Concentric
Zhao Xiang left, and Mrs. Zhao didn't stay long, just a few simple instructions.
Their big family affection is worse than a bowl of gruel.
Zhao Jingyi asked Zhao Ting to wash off the makeup on her face and put on clean filial clothes again, she smiled at herself in the mirror, not at all the haggard look just now.
Zhao Ting was still wondering why the master was suddenly very energetic? It's the kind of spirit that is slightly exhilarating......
"Ah Ting, you will accompany me to Ci'an Palace tomorrow to ask for peace."
Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly, but muttered in her heart, most of the past two years have been accompanied by Zhao Huan.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Jingyi waited outside Ci'an Palace early, waiting to see the Queen Mother
"She's cured?" The Queen Mother had just finished freshening up and was having breakfast in the house.
Mama Qi guessed that she should be running for the things after the establishment?
She said, "I just said that I was for you, and the plain people who wore it looked thin and looked good." β
The Queen Mother pondered for a while, she was actually not very happy that Zhao Jingyi came at this time, if Zhao Jingyi couldn't hold her breath, she used a pill to nourish her heart and calm her body to give Shen Tingnian's thoughts.
When the queen first has to be calm, calm, and tolerant, the queen mother is sure that Shen Tingnian's heart is higher than the sky, and she is not a person who will bow her head for a seat.
"Let her in."
Zhao Jingyi soon came in with Mama Qi and saluted in a regular manner, "The concubine is the queen mother." β
She hung her head obediently, looking no different from before, the queen mother called up, let her sit and talk, the people waiting in the house were all close, and there was no scruples, "The front said that he was sick, and when he saw his family, he was fine immediately." β
This means that she can't do all the plays.
Zhao Jingyi glanced up at the Queen Mother, and did not stand up and sit, "The concubine is not shallow, but anxious in her heart, and she can't take care of her body." β
"Please ask the queen mother to be the master, depose the concubine and the crown princess, the concubine is despicable and does not enter the emperor's eyes, has not been able to serve the monarch for many years, is lazy and disrespectful, and has not fulfilled her ......duties as a wife," Zhao Jingyi said, and fell to the ground, banging on the cold floor with her forehead, and her voice was sobbing, "After so many years of vain by your teachings, now the back position in the palace is vacant, and I should take the initiative to ask for abolition, worry about the king, and also count the meager husband and wife love of each other." β
"You ......" The Queen Mother didn't expect her to take the initiative to abolish and give up the position of queen, obviously hesitating for a while, "Are these words sincere?" β
No wonder she asked so directly, it's really, it's hard to believe, the Queen Mother has seen through Shen Tingnian for so many years, but what she saw the most was Zhao Jingyi, as if she was testing something, one day, one year, two years, six years, whether it was round or square, could you still see it?
"Sincerely!" Zhao Jingyi kowtowed again, her shoulders trembled slightly, obviously talking about emotion, "The concubine has no other delusions, she just wants to be in a peaceful place for the rest of her life, pray for the Great Zhou, for the emperor, and for the queen mother...... Even if it is accompanied by a green light, it is also the wish of the heart. β
Is Zhao Jingyi retreating as advancing? If she really abolished her identity as a wife, she would really have no place in the palace in the future, and the emperor had no affection for her.
Oh, that person is still Shen Tingnian.
The Queen Mother's expression moved slightly.
"Get up, it's cold on the ground, your body is good, why bother tossing......"
"Mother-"
"There is no need to say anything about this matter, the mourning family will mention it to the emperor, if you really don't want to be the queen, he will naturally not appoint you." The Queen Mother sighed in her heart and said slowly, "Some things are like this, the bitter blood you swallow with your teeth in your stomach, others may not appreciate it, if your begging is answered, it will just be your own hard life in the future." β
It can't hinder Shen Tingnian at all.
Zhao Jingyi was personally helped up by Mama Qi, and she said in a low voice: "It's a concubine...... Let the mother down. β
Seeing that she couldn't stand steadily, and her face was bleak compared to when she came, the Queen Mother shook her head slightly, "Go back and rest, let the imperial doctor ask for a pulse, don't waste your body at a young age." β
Zhao Jingyi naturally saluted respectfully, and slowly withdrew with the support of the people around her.
Mama Qi sent someone back to see the Queen Mother return to the house from the outside, she would change her clothes when she usually met guests, but she didn't look interested today, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Niangniang is sorry for the Zhao family?" After so many years of training, she actually gave up on her own. β
"Give up? You can only listen, you can only watch. The Queen Mother leaned on the cushion and smiled slightly, "Her words are not simply said to me. β
This...... Mama Qi pondered the meaning of the Queen Mother, and combined with Zhao Jingyi's statement she had just seen, she still didn't understand, "It's the old slave's brain that can't turn." β
The Queen Mother was amused by her words and laughed again, "Even you can fool you, she didn't stumble in vain today." β
Zhao Jingyi is a decent person, she has been in the palace for six years, but she has never kowtowed like this in front of people. She has guarded her face for so many years, but today she has no scruples about her identity in Ci'an Palace, how many pairs of eyes are watching here and outside.
"And she-"
"Don't listen to what she says and see what she does, but see what happens after that."
The Queen Mother promised the emperor to protect Shen Tingnian, but this does not mean that the opportunity to make her suffer a little will be stopped, so Zhao Jingyi wants to kowtow, and she accepts it safely.
Recently, she was extremely uncomfortable because Yu Siyao was taken out of Beijing by King Cong, this person has been hiding by her side for more than 20 years! She asked Shu Tai to bring people to Ci'an Palace, but she didn't know that the other party would send people out of the palace in a blink of an eye.
made her angry toothache, this account hung back and forth, and it was hung on Shen Tingnian's head.
###
After dealing with the affairs of Gongzhou and Dezhou in a row, there is no major event in the court, not that it is completely calm, but compared to before the emperor ascended the throne, there are many fewer conspiracies and conspiracy.
The court affairs are relaxed, Pu Yangxu is quite comfortable, and he has more time to accompany Shen Tingnian, and the two of them are also tired and crooked for a few days before and after spending the moon, chanting poems against each other.
"She really kowtowed and cried and begged the Queen Mother to abolish her status as a wife?" Shen Tingnian chewed the words 'kowtow' and 'crying', thoughtfully.
"If Fu Lu and them come back, they naturally can't fake it." Don't underestimate these internal servants, they are all heard in all directions, and they have relationships with various palaces, especially Fu Lu, who is the apprentice of the former chief of internal servants Fu'an, except for the group of cronies around Pu Yangxu headed by Chen Luo, other large and small Zhongguan Huangmen are headed by him.
These groups of eunuchs ...... Shen Tingnian didn't have a good feeling, otherwise there would be no need to embarrass Fu Lu last time.
"Tsk, that's really strange......" Shen Tingnian was still chewing melon seeds in his mouth.
Pu Yangxu saw that she was idle and knocked melon seeds, so he hurriedly dragged the plate over, and moved his fingers without a trace, and let people take it down.
"Why are you doing it, I still want to eat?" As soon as Shen Tingnian stretched out his hand, he was stopped by his moving arm, "It's so hot, you still muttered about a fire and a toothache yesterday......"
If you don't let her eat it, you will naturally be unhappy, but there is no way to take it down, Shen Tingnian continued: "This is going to make a big move, report to your mother first, heh." β
With a heh, it simply blends endless meanings.
Pu Yangxu nodded at the door of her head, "At this juncture, you have to remember a hair on her head, it shouldn't be so stupid." β
"Of course she's not stupid, people are clear in their hearts, you think the other way, if something happens to her at this time, my favorite concubine will become a traitorous concubine."
Pu Yangxu still shook his head in disapproval, and only replied with three words, "I'm here." β
With him, it is whimsical to pour dirty water on Shen Tingnian's head.
"Also, I've been watched firmly by you every day," Shen Tingnian thought for a while, except for Yuezhu, who was his person, and backhanded his restless fingers, "Stay away, you're not too hot." β
"I'm not hot, if you're hot, let them serve the ice-"
"Don't, you save it. July hasn't arrived," Shen Ting only heard Chen Luo say a few days ago, the cost of the provincial mansion is simply outrageous, "Now the palace is empty, and most of the people are missing, since there are not so many masters, why keep so many palace people, the old ones are sent back to their hometowns to support the elderly, and the young ones who are willing to go out of the palace to marry people let Shu Tai take over, and there are more young strong men under him......"
She just said a few words casually, but she fell into Pu Yangxu's arms, and she was simply dozing and handing over the pillow, "Good year, you are too good at saving money......"
Looking at his very happy appearance to cut the palace people, it was expected......
Shen Tingnian simply mentioned a few more points, "You will be your good emperor, I will be this bad woman, don't you want to rectify the rule of officials, and you are afraid of making drastic measures to make them rebellious." β
Rectifying the rule of officials is a headache that every emperor has to do, redundant soldiers, redundant officials, and redundant expenses...... These are all big problems that have always existed in all dynasties.
The emperor just did not plan to make meritorious contributions to the outside world now, the war broke out, whether he won or lost, it was the common people who suffered, he would not make his people live more bitterly in order to satisfy his own merits, not to mention that Emperor Renwu had enough to open up during his reign, and in his vision of the future, it was no longer appropriate to use swords.
Because, although he is in the prime of life, the treasury is still very empty, which is a depressing thing.
"In terms of restricting redundant officials, it doesn't matter if you lose one person, you lose one department, and they jump. Let's not take the initiative to reduce it, let them not be able to do it themselves. β
"The more they want to be officials, the more you let them get nothing, what does it mean for them to be officials?" Shen Tingnian showed a malicious smile, "How to do it exactly, you have to work hard for our Emperor Majesty." β
Pu Yangxu squinted, always feeling that this method was a bit of a way to hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage eight hundredβbut for the sake of his weak treasury, he gritted his teeth and decided to try.
Have a good weekend, and there is a shift in the evening, I don't know what time it will be written, so don't wait.
