Chapter 21: The Mother of a Nation
There is no time to lose, so how can we delay?
Wang Kangrui arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister Xie." As he spoke, he made up his mind, and then said: "So, after 20 days, his daughter lifted the ban and regained the light of day, just in time to send a big gift to congratulate." ”
Fu Xiji nodded with a smile, remembered the incident of the day before yesterday, and said: "Lord Wang, I have mentioned to several ministers that the queen mother is going out of the palace to visit the ministers. ”
Wang Kangrui hurriedly asked, "What?" ”
Fu Xiji stroked his beard and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is inappropriate for the queen mother to come forward to appease the minister." ”
Wang Kangrui nodded and said, "I also think it's inappropriate, but right now, Your Majesty, alas, my daughter can't help it." ”
Fu Xi continued: "Yes, Your Majesty is too a bastard, forcing people to have no choice." ”
Wang Kangrui smiled bitterly: "You are always cautious! ”
Fu Xi continued: "It's all up to this, what are you careful about, you have to die early and late, if he cuts me with a knife, I will be relieved." ”
Wang Kangrui persuaded: "You dissipate your anger, Your Majesty is still young, and he is in power for the first time, so it is inevitable that he will act inappropriately." "In the end, I don't dare to reprimand the monarch like Fu Xiji.
Fu Xiji said: "Wrong behavior? Inappropriate to the point of letting a woman come forward? He snorted coldly and said, "He can also be regarded as the first emperor of the ages." He sighed and said: "At first, I just listened to the queen's proposal, but a few of us disagreed, in all dynasties, where is the emperor still there, and the queen came out alone to contact the minister?" Chicken Si Chen, isn't this a broken rule? ”
Wang Kangrui said: "Yes, when my daughter mentioned it to me, I also persuaded her, but I thought of her feelings for the community, so I should discuss and discuss with a few adults." My daughter is right, Your Majesty goes down like this, the courtiers are afraid that the heart of the king, the country, and the people will be completely cold, and when the time comes, the monarch and the ministers can't be single-minded, and the courtiers will be scattered.
Needless to say, the rest of the words are either scattered or the country is destroyed, can there be any good results?
Fu Xiji gave a thumbs up and praised: "The queen's heart is very rare, and it is really a great fortune for the country." ”
Wang Kangrui listened to Fu Xiji's words and praised his daughter, and said in his heart: "Do you agree?" "Busy asking.
Fu Xi continued: "What the queen said is reasonable, and her thoughts are reasonable, but there has never been such a thing, and we are in a dilemma." After a pause, he smiled slightly, and said, "In the end, General Liu had a high opinion, and he woke up a few of us bad old men with one word. "General Liu is Liu Ruohua's father, the general of the Chaozhen Guoda, Liu Shouye.
Wang Kangrui said "oh" and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Fu Xi continued: "General Liu is a martial artist, not like us who drop our book bags, and our brains are stiff. Listening to a few of us arguing and making up my mind, I got tired of listening. He said, 'Your Majesty and the Queen are husband and wife, when the gentlemen don't come forward, the ladies come forward, what's there to fight about, if it is put in the people, the gentlemen have gone out to fight, and the ladies in the family are waiting to die on the kang, don't they all have to show up outside? Who buys when there is no food? Who walks relatives? What do you do with such a clear point? It's not that there have been no female generals who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the queen is the mother of a country, and there is nothing wrong with going out of the palace to see her son and daughter. Why, the old boys still dare to scold their mothers? At this, he burst out laughing.
Wang Kangrui was also amused and said, "Listen to what he said." ”
Fu Xiji smiled: "The words are not rough! ”
Wang Kangrui nodded with a smile, and said in his heart: "Lao Liu is really giving face!" ”
Fu Xiji stroked his chest, smoothed his breath, smiled, his spirit was better, and said, "When we heard it, this is really the truth." When a mother goes out of the palace to see her children, what's wrong? ”
The queen is the mother of a country, Yu Gong, the master of the harem, the role model of the women in the world, Yu private, just the daughter-in-law of the royal family, the status is noble, and the place next to it is no different from ordinary women. Fu Xiji and others argued endlessly, limited by the law of etiquette, and only thought that the queen was an official position and a public identity, while Liu Shouye wanted a private identity.
However, for the sake of the emperor's face, the empress cannot make her own decisions.
Fu Xiji said: "Later, we discussed again, this thing can be done, but we have to let Niang Niang ask for a holy decree, saying that she is acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and it is also justified, so as not to attract criticism." ”
Wang Kangrui said: "Exactly! That's what my daughter thinks, too. ”
Fu Xiji praised again: "The queen is thoughtful! Then he asked, "Is there a way?" ”
Wang Kangrui said: "I don't know yet, she said she has her own way." ”
Fu Xiji nodded slowly, thought about it, and said, "Then wait first, it's not a matter of urgency." If the queen can't get the holy decree, I will go and tell Your Majesty that this is a matter of adding face to the royal family, and I think our Majesty will be happy to sit and reap the benefits easily. After a pause, he said: "Don't worry about the Queen Mother, I will go back and say that I can't let the Queen Mother sell her life and be scolded at the same time." ”
Wang Kangrui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister." By the way, my lord, my daughter asked me to ask, what should I bring as a gift when I leave the palace? ”
