Chapter 1219: Suspicion
Empress Shangguan Xia looked at Mu Yingbao, after all, she was the owner of this big tent.
"Your Highness the Nine, come in." Mu Yingbao has already spoken.
This young man was very awkward before, but since he hit Xixiang, this kid's attitude towards Yanguo's generals has been completely different.
They all told Mu Yingbao that it was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye to look at these nine highnesses.
"Xun Ying has seen Madame." After Xun Ying came in, he greeted Mu Yingbao Shili.
"Your Highness the Nine, you can't sit down here, so you just sit on the side?" Mu Yingbao asked with a smile.
"Okay." Xun Ying was very happy and sat down on the chair next to her, and her eyes glanced at the small square table in front of them.
Nanzhu stepped forward to help pour the tea, and brought another one to Xun Ying.
"Do you want to use dim sum?" Nanzhu asked softly.
"Thanks, no need." Inquiry Ying responded very politely.
In about half an hour, it will be time for lunch, and now I have a snack, and I can't eat it when I wait for the good food.
Shangguan Xia looked at her son, and then looked at Mu Yingbao, Xun Ying is her own son, he grew up in front of him, he is thirteen years old this year.
However, after his son Xunying came back from Yeonguo this time, it was as if he had changed as a different person.
It became self-doubting to Shangguan Xia, is this really her son Xunying?
The biggest change is in words and deeds, how to say it, she really can't think of the right words to describe it.
It's like, in the previous words, Xun Ying was the same as other children, well-behaved and polite.
And now, it's like a flower in a flower bed, vines and vines grow out of the flower bed, but they are so vibrant that people can't bear to forcibly prune them, so I think it's good.
It is said that a person's temperament has changed drastically, and nine times out of ten he has encountered any major changes, and basically he has become bad.
But this son, Shangguan Xia thinks that it is much cuter than the obedient and polite son before.
It's so cute that she will steal into someone else's kitchen and steal the food for her to taste.
Although this behavior was very bad, Shangguan Xia felt very relieved and happy, and couldn't bear to reprimand and punish her.
……
In the imperial study room of the Xixiang Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhou Hong had already determined that the commander of Xue Guogong of Yanguo would set off and go to Linjing to join the soldiers and horses of Xixiang and continue to recover the city captured by Wuyu.
Zhou Hong sat behind the bookcase, flipped through the folds in his hand, and he didn't even read what was on it.
Gonggong Chen watched quietly from the side, unable to figure out His Majesty the Emperor's mood at this time, and couldn't see what he was thinking now. I love Chinese.com
Neither was he happy because the continued help of the Yanguo soldiers and horses could completely knock out the black feather thief soldiers to Xixiang, and it was not like he was worried about what Yanguo soldiers and horses would do to Xixiang after defeating the black feather thief soldiers, whether it was really as they said, and solved the black feather thief soldiers and returned to Yanguo.
Outside the imperial study, a group of ministers had been waiting for a long time, and they didn't go back for lunch.
Several times I asked the little eunuch to see His Majesty's mood, and after the little eunuch went to the door and poked his head in, he said to them, no, Gonggong Chen had a warning expression several times.
The ministers didn't dare to bother anymore, and they heard from the people who served around His Majesty that His Majesty hadn't even eaten a few bites of lunch at noon.
Just when everyone was discussing how to let His Majesty see everyone, Gonggong Chen came out and let them in.
"What's the matter with all Aiqing?" Zhou Hong stood in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back and asked without replying.
"Your Majesty, the minister learned that the queen mother, Yu Guifei, and the third imperial concubine went to the Yanguo camp in the morning, and they haven't returned yet, I wonder if Your Majesty is worried about this matter?" A minister asked cautiously.
Zhou Hong turned around and looked at the person who spoke; "The queen has already sent someone back to inform them that Mrs. Xue left them there to eat, what do I have to worry about?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, the Queen's move is inappropriate. After all, she is the mother of our Xixiang country, and it is already very risky to go to see Mrs. Xue, but why do you still stay there to eat. ”
"That's it, Your Majesty, although Xue Wenyu has already left here with his troops, it doesn't mean that his wife is safe, right? Your Majesty, you don't know that incident, that is, the former emperor of Yanguo, who ended up dying and was soaked in dung, said that the idea of making him really stink for 10,000 years was Xue Wenyu's wife.
The person who can come up with such a poisonous idea is still a young woman, which is enough to show that she is a very poisonous person. ”
It started again, it started again, Zhou Hong looked at the ministers in front of him with worried faces, and he really didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, why don't you make an order now, saying that there is an urgent matter to summon the queen back to the palace. Let's see what happens, if the queen comes back safely, otherwise, Your Majesty must find a way to rescue the queen mother as soon as possible. Seeing that the emperor was silent, he was anxious.
Among the ministers who came in, there was the eldest one, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was the only one who looked at the emperor without saying a word.
"Fang Shangshu, you're all here, why don't you squeak?" The colleague on the side reminded in a low voice anxiously.
The gray-haired Fang Shangshu shook his head, still looking at the emperor, he found a very serious problem, that is, after His Majesty brought the soldiers and horses of Yanguo from His Royal Highness to fight the Ninth and relieved the danger of the capital, the whole person became very abnormal and mysterious.
That is, there is no joy that he can repel the black feather thief soldiers, and there is no worry about what Yanguo means about Xixiang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for your worries on behalf of the Queen, but for now, you should focus on other things. For example, in the reclaimed places, the construction of damaged cities, and the destroyed people's homes must also be managed.
Although the black feather thieves have not been completely driven out yet, there is no suspense in this matter, and it is the most important thing at the moment to quickly go to various places to check the situation of the granary, and if there are any, quickly open the warehouse to release grain, and formulate tax reductions and exemptions to appease the people.
Okay, I'm a little tired, I won't go to court in the afternoon, let's all retreat. Zhou Hong stopped, ignored everyone's reactions, and walked behind the bookshelf.
When the adults heard this, they naturally knew that what the emperor said made sense, but there were already other responsible adults who had done these things.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has made it very clear, let's all go back and do their jobs." Gonggong Chen simply persuaded and made a gesture of please, and the ministers had no choice but to go out.
In the imperial study, it was quiet again.
After a long time, Emperor Zhou Hong spoke; "You say, what does Mrs. Xue mean? Why did they leave the queen to eat? What's the matter with the queen, how can she respond? ”
Chen Gonggong tilted his head and thought about it seriously; "The old slave thinks, will Mrs. Xue's move be to understand His Majesty's thoughts on them through the queen mother? And the reason why the queen agreed to stay for lunch was also the same idea as her, and she wanted to understand their true intentions through this Mrs. Xue......
