Chapter 419: Shaken
The queen stayed. "Situ Ji is not in a hurry to see Yu Chi Jin, and Yu Chi Jin is reluctant to accept a concubine, but it is just because of Zhuo Yu. If Zhuo Yu can be persuaded well, presumably Wei Chi Jin will be able to listen to the opinions of the courtiers. But what Situ Yu didn't expect was that Zhuo Yu was very much in favor of this matter, and she had been persuading Wei Chi Jin to take a concubine.
"Prime Minister, do you have something important?" Zhuo Yu was a little puzzled.
As the prime minister, Situ Ji is dedicated to the people. Although Zhuo Yu is the queen, she has to say something: "Presumably the queen knows that the emperor is very reluctant to accept a concubine." At present, the ministers above the court are offering advice and suggestions for the royal bloodline, and I hope that the mother will understand. ”
Zhuo Yu was delicate, and naturally knew the meaning of Situ Yu's very euphemistic expression. Not only him, but those ministers are afraid that they all feel that it is their own reason in their hearts, and the men who have not accepted concubines throughout the ages have either not had that condition, or they have a strong woman in the family. Now this situation must make people feel that the emperor favors the queen, and the queen just doesn't let the concubine live and die by pampering her.
"Prime Minister Lao is worried about this matter, not only the princes and ministers, but even the palace has mentioned this concubine again and again, and the emperor has also complained." Zhuo Yu first expressed his attitude, and then continued: "The emperor is not delayed, but he is worried that the people of the world will feel that it is because the palace has nothing to do, and he is also worried that the palace will feel like this. The meaning of Zhuo Yu's words was to inform Situ Ji that he had not stopped the concubine, and second, to show that Yu Chi Jin did not want to refuse, but had his own concerns.
At this point, Situ Yu hurriedly saluted: "I didn't expect the emperor and Niangniang to think so much, it was the ministers who were ignorant, thank you Niangniang for reminding me." ”
"The Prime Minister has known the emperor and the palace since childhood, and you know the temperament of the two of us best. There is a prime minister, I believe the emperor will definitely figure it out. ”
On the way to the Imperial Garden, Jing Yan's heart was full of questions: "Niangniang, it is obvious that you have been persuading the emperor to accept a concubine, and the emperor is not very happy about this, but others still misunderstand you so much." Fang Cai's words were very well-spoken, and he probably understood the metaphor in it, and he was very angry in his heart.
"It makes sense, don't bother with it." Zhuo Yu said on the side, not taking this matter to heart.
"However, there is something about the slave maid, I don't know whether to ask or not." Jing Yan was a little hesitant. Zhuo Yu seemed to see through her thoughts, and then said: "Do you want to know why this palace is trying to persuade the emperor to accept a concubine." ”
"Exactly. The emperor has a deep affection for his mother, and everyone in the palace knows it very well. Besides, the emperor is unwilling to accept a concubine, and this kind of good thing can't be asked for by others, but why doesn't the mother think so? Jing Yan didn't get to Zhuo Yu's position, thinking too simply.
"You know that in recent years, the courtiers have tried their best to persuade the emperor to take a concubine, and this time Situ Ji has come forward, and the pressure on the emperor because of this matter is self-evident."
"The emperor is the Son of Heaven of Wu State, what does the Son of Heaven want to do, how dare others give instructions at will." Jing Yan is ignorant of the world, has no city government, and has never thought about the delicate relationship between monarchs and ministers in the officialdom.
"The well said, water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat. Even the Son of Heaven must know this truth. Besides, those courtiers are planning for the future of the Wu Kingdom, and they are doing good things. Zhuo Yu sat on top of the chariot and did not show any gloom on his face.
"If it's an ordinary person, it's fine. But the emperor and the palace are shouldering the fate of the Wu State, and having more heirs has a non-negligible role in stabilizing the hearts of the former dynasty and the people. ”
Jing Yan nodded as if he understood, and asked again: "That Niangniang is really not afraid that the emperor will favor a certain concubine in the future, and let Niangniang go?" ”
"The emperor has experienced a lot with the palace over the years, and no one can give up this friendship. As far as the palace is concerned, the emperor is irreplaceable, and the same is true for the emperor. Thinking that maybe it was this friendship, the palace was not afraid that the emperor would change his mind in the future, because it was impossible. Obviously, his husband was going to have another woman, but Jing Yan looked at Zhuo Yu's calm face when he said these words, and he couldn't stop being sweet when he mentioned the past of the two. It seems that the relationship between the two is indeed very good, so Jing Yan can also be somewhat relieved.
"However, does Niangniang think that the Prime Minister can convince the emperor?" Jing Yan thought about the emperor's resistance to this matter these days, and wondered if Situ Ji would be blasted out by the emperor.
"I can't." Zhuo Yu knew Wei Chi Jin's mind too well, but if he recognized it, it would be even more difficult for others to change it. However, he can listen to Situ Shu's words to some extent, and he will know what is at stake. As for the rest, it's up to you to do it yourself.
Because Zhuo Yu reminded Wei Chi Jin that he was angry, Situ Ji planned to change his strategy, so as not to be reprimanded instead of persuading. Yu Chi Jin had no intention of reviewing the folds at this time, and his mind was full of Zhuo Yu's persuasion about his concubine these days. Looking at the picture of koi playing in the water left by Fang Cai Zhuoyu, it was even more uncomfortable.
"These two koi fish are very beautifully drawn, and the two of them are just right." Yu Chi Jin muttered to himself.
Situ Shu heard this as soon as he came in, subconsciously glanced at the table, and laughed: "This painting is very beautiful, needless to say, I know that it must be from the pen of the queen's mother." ”
Yu Chi Jin took the painting aside, coughed a few times to hide Fang Cai's self-talk, and said: "The queen's writing has always been good, and I am often ashamed of myself. ”
"Greetings to the emperor, the emperor cares about the people's livelihood, and he must also pay attention to his body."
"That's it. Suddenly entered the palace this time, but what is the important matter? Yu Chi Jin stood up as he spoke, and took a sip of the tea that Fang Cai Zhuo Yu had personally brewed.
"The emperor is busy with court affairs, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing recently?"
"I heard that the queen took care of him personally, and I personally inspected his homework when I went back every day, and now he is getting stronger and stronger." Thinking of this, Yu Chi Jin couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, but it was a pity that he and Zhuo Yu only had such a child, and every time he saw that Ting'er did not have a child like him in the palace, he was worried that Ting'er was lonely.
"The minister knows that the emperor is very troubled because of the concubine, but I still hope that the emperor knows that you are the monarch of Wu State, if the heir is too thin, for the people and courtiers, it will inevitably make people a little worried about the future of Wu State."
"Ridiculous, when will the Wu Kingdom rely on its heirs to revitalize, it's just nonsense!" Yu Chi Jin said coldly with Situ Ji behind his back.
"The minister knows that the emperor and the queen are more affectionate than Jin Jian, but the importance of the heir to the royal family, the emperor knows better than anyone else." Situ Ji didn't need to say too much about Yu Chi Jin, the truth that should be known, Yu Chi Jin knew very well, and the main problem was Zhuo Yu.
