Chapter 206: The Great Plan for the Pacification of the Southwest
Zhu Cheng's body trembled, and he hurriedly squatted down to prepare to clean up the tea bowl.
He immediately stood up and said softly: "It's just to break a teacup, and when your own palace maid comes to clean it up, you just sit here and talk to me!" ”
The girl looked up and saw him approaching, and hurriedly said: "Please father and emperor for the reckless sin, just ask father not to come over, how can it be good to be injured by broken porcelain?" ”
The emperor nodded, and raised his voice again: "Li Chang, come in!" ”
"The minion is here!"
The door of the hall creaked open, and Gonggong Li hunched over and hurriedly trotted in.
"Your Majesty, what do you command?"
"Call a few palace maids to clean up this quickly!"
"Yes, the slave cleaned up this broken porcelain piece first, don't hurt the emperor!" Gonggong Li said as Lisuo squatted down and opened the porcelain piece of the teacup.
Gonggong Li knelt on the ground, glanced at the girl with slanted eyes, and lowered his head again.
The emperor looked away, looked at the snow outside the door, and said clearly word by word: "Spread my will, Princess Zhu Cheng is my fifteenth daughter, and her mother is Concubine Zheng Guifei, Princess Zhu Cheng has been loved by me since she was a child, and she has been raised by her relatives. Luo Sigong, the minister of the palace brocade guard, has a pure character, both civil and military, and has known the princess since childhood, and has the same heart, and now in the year of the princess and the princess, he was specially promoted to be the princess of Chunyuan and married Luo Sigong, and Luo Sigong was appointed as the minister of the Qin mission to the southwest. The two chose an auspicious day to get married, and Wanger agreed with one heart to marry Qin and Jin forever, and the husband and wife were harmonious, so as to live up to their wishes. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gonggong Li's eyes were shocked, and then he quickly covered up the past, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Princess Chunyuan!" ”
"Grind, I'm going to do it now!"
The emperor finished writing with a wave of his hand, and handed it to him with a smile.
"The minion is going to make a decree!"
Watching Gonggong Li's back go away, the emperor turned his back on his hand, his face was already happy, he walked over and shook Zhu Cheng's hand, but his arm strength was heavier, he pulled her down and said happily: "Cheng'er, I didn't expect this time to treat people, in a blink of an eye, I will personally send you to marry, among my children, only you are the most suitable for me, and now I can see you marry with my own eyes, but also my heart as a father in the world!" ”
The girl's heart stiffened at this time, and she almost couldn't help but change color, so let Luo Sigong go and say peace, how could it be? The king of the southwest is so openly provocative, even the emperor doesn't pay attention to it, even if Luo Sigong has the blessing of the identity of a concubine, he can't get into the eyes of the king of the southwest, if the king of the southwest really has the intention to rebel, Luo Sigong is here to die without doubt! ”
Zhu Cheng thought like this, his heart was sour and sad after all, there were tears in his eyes, and he had to accept his fate, as long as she was in this palace for a day, she would be an item that was traded.
Patience, only patience. Like a taut string, the arrow can be shot quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. Only by persevering can you reach where you want to go.
She sneered in her heart, and in the end she still smiled and said: "Thank you to my father for understanding the righteousness, this not only gives my daughter a good home, but also fulfills the wishes of my father and mother, and the people of the world will also feel the kindness of my father, and I want to come to the southwest king can also understand my father's thoughts for the people of the world, and I will be more loyal to my father and emperor with one heart and one mind!" ”
The girl thought for a while, and said: "It's just that Luo Sigong has served his father for a long time, and he doesn't know anything about the situation in this border place, and his parents left early, and he is lonely, and he is not good at talking to people, how can he take on such a big responsibility?" I'm afraid he will lose a piece of his father's hard work. ”
The emperor didn't think so, and flicked his sleeve casually and said: "I understand Sigong, he can take on this great responsibility, and now he is also half of my son, how can my father not understand his son!" ”
The girl smiled and persuaded: "Erchen understands his father's thoughts, but some villains will think that Luo Sigong has a bad background and despise him, so they don't take his words to heart, so it's not good, it represents the meaning of his father, and the things that have a heart are regarded as intentional, but they can be dealt with like this?" ”
The emperor was stunned, the original joy was suddenly closed, and he approached her and said: "If I respond to the concert of the king of the southwest, how to lose the royal face, and how to block the mouths of everyone, only to calm the mind of the king of the southwest, I have already named him the minister of the Qincha, his words represent my words, who dares to despise him, Sigong has promised me a few days ago, and now he has set off, he promised me that he will deal with the king of the southwest, and he will marry you after he returns!" ”
Zhu Cheng was stunned for a moment, at this moment she only felt like an object that could be discarded at any time, her mother, concubine, brother and sister calculated her, and her father and emperor were also like this.
How did she not know that the heart of the king of the southwest had become a decisive hammer, if Luo Sigong could not convince him, then the emperor's meaning was that between the two of them, you would die, a good imperial power plan.
"Luo Sigong will help me solve this matter!" The Emperor was in a good mood and said, "I believe this is not a difficult thing for him, and it is said that he has been with me longer than my sons, and my sons' minds can never be guessed. ”
Zhu Cheng smiled and said: "The brothers are also filial to their father!" ”
He snorted lightly in his nose and said coldly: "None of my sons are worry-free, they all keep an eye on my position, form gangs above the court, and even do whatever it takes, your mother and imperial brother are like this, and now there is no one around me who can believe it, and sending Sigong to say peace is just an expedient measure, and it has to be done." If you subdue the king of the southwest in the future, I will definitely reward him well and marry you again! ”
Zhu Cheng knew that his mother and brother had done something wrong, and when he heard him plan to do so, he was just silent.
The king of the southwest is bent on seeking glory for his children, but he knows that honor and disgrace can change only between the overturning of one hand.
He was proud for a while, and when he was not completely powerful, he was too swaggering and swaggering, which would cause endless humiliation in the future!
The girl did not talk about the matter of the king of the southwest, but said: "Since my father has made up his mind, it is just a major marriage event, so I should tell the queen mother and inform the people of the world!" ”
The emperor said: "You are a princess, this is natural." ”
Zhu Cheng knew that there was no way to maneuver about this matter, and said in a deep voice in his ear: "Father, this rebellion of the king of the southwest must not be a whim, but to calm down the matter of the king of the southwest, as long as you advance in an orderly manner, you can naturally know them well, and the son is just worried about Luo Sigong's safety for a while, so he said this, and only asks his father to forgive him......"
Zhu Cheng elaborated on her thoughts, there were truths and falsehoods, she didn't know whether she was true or false, she only saw the situation of royal affection without family affection in the face of power and interests.
The emperor looked at her and smiled: "This is very good, Cheng'er, you are worthy of being my good daughter, you can understand my painstaking efforts, if your brothers can have half of your mind, I will be much easier!" ”
The girl only smiled and said: "My father works hard for the world, and my son doesn't understand the government, but my father is still willing to talk to my son about some family and country affairs, which is an honor to be a son!" ”
He smiled heartily: "To be a princess in this world, you naturally have to be different from ordinary women, have both ability and political integrity, and care about the people, this is what a princess of a country should do, Cheng'er, you have been cordial with me since you were a child, and you should understand this!" ”
"Erchen understands!"
How Zhu Cheng couldn't understand that since she was born in this royal family, her fate has been doomed, she has been sent to the field of interests, maybe more than other sisters, she is lucky, at least to be with the people she likes!
The winter days are very short, and the lazy sun that has just come out is long gone.
The sky became dark, and the red lanterns outside the temple shone brightly on the vast white snow.
The girl listened attentively, and the wind she only listened to seemed to be very loud, and the people who were blowing were confused, such a weather was cold and gloomy, and it was time for the New Year to come here in a blink of an eye, would Luo Sigong rush back? I just hope he can return safely.
"Father, it's getting late, let Cheng'er do something for you!"
The emperor glanced at her and said with a smile: "Yes, this day is getting shorter and shorter, and it is already dark at this time, what is Cheng'er going to do?" ”
The maiden laughed and said nothing, but took the fire fold, blew it up, and took a step to light the hard candles of each candlestick in the temple.
Hundreds of people, slowly lighting them like this, like the flame of hope in the girl's heart, her and Luo Sigong's lives will not be like this flame, gradually becoming more vigorous little by little.
Little by little, the flames brightened, and the temple was as bright as day.
Only then did Zhu Cheng Yingying walk to the emperor's side, and stood beside the emperor again, his mind was spinning, he held his breath with difficulty, his voice was as calm as the water of a cold spring under the ice, and he said calmly: "Please let my father show kindness again and let his sons go out of the palace!" ”
The emperor's eyes suddenly swept over her, faintly displeased, "What do you mean by this?" Why do you want to go out of the palace? ”
The girl smiled peacefully: "Erchen only begs his father to let Erchen get out of the harem gate as soon as possible, if he makes such a big mistake, he will definitely become a laughing stock of everyone, and he will lose face among the brothers and sisters, and the mother concubine is also angry, if the son keeps dazzling in front of her, it will only make the mother more angry." ”
The emperor said with a solemn face: "Cheng'er, what are you talking about, you are the princess of a country, where do you want to be so arrogant, who in the world dares to say that you are not?" ”
Zhu Cheng forcibly suppressed the surging choked throat and grief and indignation, and said quietly: "Erchen understands his father's thoughts, even if the king of the southwest has no intention of taking the throne, but he can't stand the blind praising of his subordinates, I'm afraid that everyone wants to be the founder of the country!" If the emperor is willing to appease the king of southwest China, then it will be time to fight for one more point of strong soldiers and horses, and one more point of chance of winning! It's just that Erchen is just a woman, he can't do this man's plan, he only thinks about giving birth to this child, if something happens to the child's father, Erchen can also have a thought, Erchen will definitely contact Sigong Feishu and let him try his best to benefit the people of the world! ”
"Cheng'er is right to say so!"
The emperor closed his eyes and could not read his thoughts.
