Two hundred and eighteen, mother and son
At the court meeting, Ge Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao once again proposed that the imperial court agree to the request of Wara and negotiate to redeem the crown prince, after all, it is the prince of the dynasty, and it falls into the hands of the enemy, so it cannot be ignored, and the peace talks are not very embarrassing, after all, this is not without precedent.
It's a big deal when the time comes, just like the previous dynasty, and say that the prince is hunting in the north.
The protΓ©gΓ©s of Ge Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao had already passed the anger, and they all supported their opinions, while the other part of the Wenchen was looking at Wang Taifu's attitude.
Wang Taifu remained silent for a long time, and finally stood up when Emperor Jiaping asked him by name.
There was silence in the court, and everyone was waiting to see what the prince and prince would say, whether to continue to insist on their own opinions, resolutely oppose peace talks, and whether they would fight with the Warats, or take the prince back with a truce.
Wang Taifu sorted out his thoughts, stood up with a serious expression, and bowed over: "The old minister thinks that it is imperative to welcome back His Royal Highness the Prince!" The prince of our country must not fall into the hands of barbarians! β
Ge Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao glanced at each other, and both of them were surprised and delighted.
The old man's temper was as smelly and hard as a stone in a pit, and they thought that the old man was also here to make trouble today, and they were ready to continue to fight for a long time, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Wang suddenly changed her mind.
What a bonus!
With Wang Taifu's words, the remaining part of the ministers also agreed to this proposal.
Emperor Jiaping, who was sitting at the top, breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and his mood, which had always been gloomy, finally saw a little sunshine.
He had always been very moved by Shen Ge Lao and Ge Ge Lao's proposals, and after what happened to Concubine Qin, he found more and more that the sons around him were not very successful.
And the Nine Emperors are too young.
Chu Tingchuan is a very suitable heir in any aspect.
But the princess didn't let go.
For many years, Emperor Jiaping believed in Wang Taifu very much, and also felt that Wang Taifu's opinion should be carefully considered, so he had not been able to make up his mind completely.
This time he made up his mind, but if Wang Taifu still refused to agree, he would still have a pimple in his heart.
Fortunately, this time Wang Taifu finally relented.
Emperor Jiaping put aside the scruples in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and asked the courtiers to recommend a few suitable candidates for them to talk to Warat.
After a busy day, when Emperor Jiaping finally returned to the harem, the sky was already dark, and Gonggong Zhang asked him which Niangniang palace he went to, Emperor Jiaping thought about it and shook his head: "Go to the Queen Mother." β
The matter has been decided, and he also wants to talk to the Queen Mother.
Although the Queen Mother has always refused to mention this matter, he knows in his heart that it is just that the Queen Mother is considerate of him and doesn't want to say it to make him embarrassed, but the Queen Mother cares about Chu Tingchuan very much in her heart.
Now that there is good news, it is time to tell the Queen Mother, don't let the Queen Mother worry.
Gonggong Zhang agreed and ordered the royal driver to rush to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was having dinner, and when she heard that Emperor Jiaping was coming, she hurriedly asked people to come in, and when she saw that he was still wearing a yellow robe, she immediately felt distressed: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Is this just coming back from the front? β
At the same time, he sent someone to fetch the emperor's regular clothes and asked him to change them.
Emperor Jiaping changed his clothes, came back and sat next to the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, it's been a busy day, but this time the result of the discussion has been reached, the queen mother, the cabinet has already drafted the constitution, and when the candidate for the peace talks is agreed, the imperial court's mission will set off to bring Tingchuan back." β
The Queen Mother didn't expect Emperor Jiaping to come to this matter, and only after being stunned did she react, and asked with surprise and joy: "Is it?" They agreed? That's a ......."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so happy, Emperor Jiaping also felt a little guilty in his heart, nodded and said: "Yes, it has been agreed, Tingchuan can't have a good time this year, hey, that's it, there is nothing else now, I hope he will come back well." β
Speaking of this topic, both mother and son were silent for a while.
"Since that's all the talk, emperor, the mourning family will ask you, our mother and son have gone through so many things, and there is nothing more to say. The queen mother asked you, does the emperor have any plans to change the crown prince? The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Jiaping seriously: "When the prince comes back, in what capacity should he stand on?" β
This is a problem that will have to be faced sooner or later, Emperor Jiaping has actually asked himself many times before, this time facing the Queen Mother, he didn't want to be vague anymore, after thinking about it, he sighed: "Actually, I am also embarrassed for this matter, logically speaking, this matter is not Tingchuan's fault, he was designed by Xu Er in the final analysis, if it wasn't like this, it wouldn't be like this." But things happened anyway, he did fall into the hands of the Warat people, this is not good to say, Wang Taifu and his group of Wenchen, although they agreed to let him come back this time, but they may not be willing to continue to let him be the prince, Queen Mother, I don't hide it from you, I can't make a decision now, wait a minute, wait until Tingchuan comes back. β
That's the truth.
The Queen Mother also knew that it was rare to be able to talk about this, and she also knew her son's personality, so when she heard Emperor Jiaping say this, she didn't embarrass him at all, but nodded and sighed according to his words: "Yes, Emperor, you are also embarrassed, it was originally a major matter that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Chuan, and now the mourning family doesn't say anything else, I just hope that Tingchuan can come back safely, in the end, he is still just married, and he doesn't even have an heir, so how can the mourning family bear him to suffer alone in the hands of barbarians?" β
The Queen Mother said so, and Emperor Jiaping treated this matter more cautiously.
He came out of the Queen Mother kilometer, originally planned to go to the queen's palace to sit, it is really strange to say, the two couples who were originally young and hated each other, when the time passed, they had reached the age of being grandparents, but they both looked at the past things, untied the knot, and became more tolerant and considerate of each other.
Emperor Jiaping now even thinks that the old-fashioned and stubborn queen is amiable and respectable.
However, before he gave the order, someone came to pass the word, saying that Fang Liang of Jinyiwei asked to see him.
It's so late, it stands to reason that the palace gate has already been keyed, and any news should not be transmitted, unless it is a very urgent matter, so that Yu Linwei, who is guarding the door, can make an exception to pass the message.
But at this time, what else can be a big deal?
Thinking that Wei Minzhai went to the border to hunt down Second Young Master Xu, Emperor Jiaping's heart tightened.
Could it be that something went wrong over there?
But no matter what it was, since Fang Liang would choose this time to send the news in, it would be a big deal, and he immediately announced that someone would go to the imperial study.
