Chapter 265: Choosing a Concubine
Rong Yan didn't mean to speak, but just glanced in the direction of Shangguan Wu.
There was a moment of silence.
Shangguan Wu suddenly sneered, walked out of the queue, and looked at the person who had just said the matter of the Shangguan family, and looked at the person condescendingly: "Lord Liu, the matter of my Shangguan family has been investigated when the emperor is still there, and there is nothing wrong with it now, now we are not discussing this matter, what do you want to do when you deliberately bring up this matter?" ”
"I ......"
Lord Liu immediately pinched his head, but when he saw Shangguan Wu's gloomy appearance, he pursed his lips and said: "Although the affairs of the Shangguan family have been investigated, the affairs of the Shangguan family back then were too tragic after all, who can guarantee that you have no resentment in your heart?" The emperor values you, but you Shangguan Wu really dare to ask yourself, do you have no resentment towards the emperor, the emperor, or even the entire imperial family in your heart? ”
Shangguan Wu snorted lightly.
Lord Liu continued: "You don't dare to guarantee that the first emperor is enkuan, and after finding out the affairs of the Shangguan family, he also gave you the official micro, and the emperor values you even more, but your identity is not suitable for this position." ”
"Lord Liu is wrong in this sentence."
Before Shangguan Wu could speak, Rong Yan, who had been sitting on his upper hand and had not spoken too intensely, suddenly interrupted Lord Liu's words.
Lord Liu immediately turned around, Shangguan Wu's face was gloomy, but he didn't say anything, turned around to face Rong Yan.
Rong Yan continued: "Shangguan Wu didn't have an official position because the affairs of Shangguan's family were clarified, but when Rong Yu rebelled, it was Shangguan Wu who led troops into the capital to break into the palace and save his father regardless of life and death. ”
"This ......"
Lord Liu was a little speechless for a while.
This matter is true, even if Rong Yan was more powerful in the capital at that time, but later after Rong Yan brought people into the capital, those of them who were cowering at home also knew that it was Rong Yan and Shangguan Wu who fought a flanking war, which solved the crisis in the capital.
"In this way, Shangguan Wuqin King has meritorious service and should be rewarded, plus Shangguan Wu's ability is outstanding, when I was guarding the border in northern Xinjiang, I also received Shangguan Wu's help several times, those are all strategies to stabilize the country and the country, brave and strategic, and do not make mistakes with personal feelings, do you still think such a person deserves the position of prime minister?"
Rong Yan glanced at the people below with a smile.
What happened in the capital is indeed true, but these people don't know anything about what happened in Northern Xinjiang at the beginning, as long as he insists that Shangguan Wu helped him in the first place, who can say that it is not?
Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, no one under him spoke.
Rong Yan said: "Since you all have no opinions, then this matter will be settled and retreat." ”
After coming down from the court, Yueqing followed Rong Yan to the study, and couldn't help but say on the way: "Your Majesty, although those officials in the court haven't said anything on the surface, they may secretly make some stumbling blocks, should Shangguan Wu pay attention to it?" ”
"No need, if Shangguan Wu can't even solve this little thing, it will be in vain for me to promote him like this. I'll go to the queen first, and you will order someone to send all the pieces over, and if anyone asks to see them at this time, they will all be stopped. The latter sentence was instructed by the little eunuch on the side.
"Yes."
The little eunuch beside him immediately retreated, and Yueqing still followed Rong Yan's side.
When he arrived at Weiyang Palace, Zhao Yunling was looking at the account books sent in from outside the palace, and when he saw Rong Yan coming in, he just glanced at it and lowered his head and continued to work.
After Rong Yan walked to his side, he said, "Shouldn't you be watching the recital in the imperial study at this time?" Why did you come to me? Also, didn't you say that Shangguan Wu was announced today? Those ministers let you decide so easily? ”
"Naturally, it's not so easy, but those people are just verbally powerful, using those past things as an excuse, as long as they suppress it, there will be nothing, besides, Shangguan Wu itself is not a soft persimmon, wait for two days, Shangguan Wu will do something, and that little bit of opposition will naturally disappear completely."
When he said this, he had already sent it over, and Zhao Yunling had to manage a lot of things, and there were a lot of things outside the palace alone, so the study room here was extraordinarily large, and there was a big bookshelf with account books, books, and everything.
After Rong Yan's performance was sent over, it would be good to put it next to him, Zhao Yunling moved it to the side, and asked someone to move a stool for Rong Yan, resolutely not letting go of his chair, and the eunuch who sent the things over just glanced at it and quickly withdrew.
I've been in the palace for so many years, and I've never seen a woman in the harem treat the emperor so casually, it's really very domineering, but the emperor doesn't think there's anything wrong. Everyone
Rong Yan sat down on the stool on the side and began to watch the folds, the two of them sat together and did their own things, occasionally saying a word or two, Rong Yan saw that most of the folds were made up to oppose Shangguan Wu as the prime minister, and there were other interesting things to say, Zhao Yunling would drop the ledger and go over to see the fun twists and turns that Rong Yan said.
Rong Yan has been suppressing the voice of opposition to Shangguan Wu, and after less than two days, Shangguan Wu has figured out a lot of vague things before, and on the third day, Shangguan Wu directly led people to find out the people who were missed when he arrested Rong Wu before, and also put forward a lot of suggestions that are beneficial to the people, so that in just a short time, Shangguan Wu has already gained a firm foothold in the court.
It also makes everyone understand that Shangguan Wu is not just a military general, a person like him not only has the courage to do what he says, but also has some clear thoughts that even they can't think of, and they can quickly figure things out when they think about it.
In this way, the affairs of the court were suppressed, and Rong Yan often joined forces with Shangguan Wu when he rectified the dynasty, and the atmosphere in the court was quite good for a while.
But when he went to the court a few days later, the ministers had no opinion on Shangguan Wu, but they began to persuade Rong Yan to choose a concubine.
In fact, when the filial piety period has just passed, some people have already proposed it, but Dongwen Guoguo's filial piety is in the time period, and it has just come out at that time, so not many people say that it has been a month or two now, and naturally some people have proposed it, thinking that there is only Zhao Yunling in Rong Yan's harem, and it is too disagreeable.
Moreover, Rong Yan has no children under his knees, so he should choose a concubine to expand the harem, and the heirs are.
"Your Majesty, these things should have been prepared by the queen mother, but as far as the minister knows, the queen mother seems to be busy doing business during this time, and it is estimated that she forgot about this matter, but no matter what, the emperor has no children under his knees, but the queen is only the queen in the harem, it is really unreasonable, the minister thinks that the emperor should choose a woman of appropriate age to enter the palace and extend the heirs for the emperor."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
When one person stood up, many people came forward one after another, Rong Yan just said lightly: "The affairs of the harem are my family affairs, so I won't bother you to worry about it." ”
"Your Majesty, this is not the emperor's family matter, the emperor has no children under his knees, and I am afraid that it will cause uneasiness after a long time." Immediately humane.
"Hmph, is it possible that I am already seventy or eighty, and I have to give birth to a son and inherit the throne as soon as I return to heaven?"
“……”
The people below were speechless in an instant, and Rong Yan said: "Since there is nothing else to do, let's retreat." ”
He left first, and there was no way for the officials.
Although Zhao Yunling is in the harem, he also knows a lot about the affairs of the previous dynasty, almost just after the next dynasty, someone came to tell him what happened in the court, when he heard the tempting persuasion of Rong Yan to take the harem, Zhao Yunling also smiled, Cuizhu whispered: "Miss, what are you laughing at at this time, in case the emperor is really ......"
"What are you anxious about, isn't it yet?" Zhao Yunling smiled and said: "I think the most important thing now is not those people who let Rong Yan expand the harem, but the matter of my business, I think most people can't stand it, maybe there are a lot of these folds on Rong Yan's desk now, but Rong Yan has never come to me to say it." ”
"Ah...... But you can't leave those things behind, miss. Cuizhu frowned: "But I don't seem to have heard of any queen doing business." ”
"Of course, I can't ignore it, as for those officials, there should still be some restraint now, but it has something to do with Rong Yan's selection of concubines, and it will probably break out soon, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome when the time comes."
Zhao Yunling sighed as she spoke, these troubles were all caused by herself, the identity of this queen is not convenient, but it makes her have a lot of scruples, and now in this position, Rong Yan has already endured a lot in front, she can't take it seriously.
Always have to find a way to solve it.
As soon as I thought about it, I saw the little eunuch outside running in: "Niangniang, there was news from the imperial study just now, saying that the emperor has a big temper, Lord Yueqing, please come over and have a look." ”
"Rong Yan lost his temper?"
Zhao Yunling was stunned for a moment, but he was a little curious, what Rong Yan's tantrum looked like, but he also knew that Rong Yan had always been able to suppress himself, but now he was afraid that something had happened, so he hurriedly took Cuizhu and went over there.
Someone went to pass the walk, Zhao Yunling felt that it was too slow to take things, so it was better to walk over by himself.
When I arrived at the imperial study, I saw Yueqing standing outside, and when I saw him coming, my eyes lit up: "Niangniang, you are here." ”
"What's going on?"
"It's what the court said today, the emperor has refused, but there are still a few people who come over and force the emperor to agree, and the emperor loses his temper." Moon Blue Road.
Come on, as soon as you hear this, you will know what is going on, today the court said about the selection of concubines, it can only be because of this, those ministers are too, other things are not so concerned, Rong Yan chooses women or not, they are very concerned, after thinking about it, they still go in, and as soon as they enter the door, they almost stepped on the broken porcelain, and then raised their eyes and saw a few people kneeling there neatly.
