Chapter 821: Embarrassed (Second Update)
Emperor Xiao Chengwen patiently explained.
He told the queen that it would definitely be risky to summon Shi Wen into the court. But this risk is definitely less than the risk of summoning Yan Yunge into the court.
All have risks, so it is natural to choose the one with less risk.
And......
"I'm also worried that Yan Yunge will fight with Ling Changzhi."
Queen Yan Yunqi rubbed her eyebrows.
She never trusted Shi Wen or Ling Changzhi.
She said bluntly: "I need someone by my side who is worthy of my trust, otherwise I will not be able to sleep well, and I will even worry about the safety of the emperor." Your Majesty, can you make more arrangements? ”
"I summoned Master Cui Zhi Cui into the court, and the three-legged stand is strong, and he restrains Ling Changzhi and Shi Wen, how about it?"
"Very good! Master Choi Sik Choi is a veteran of the imperial court, and the Choi family is also trustworthy. It's just that since Master Cui has been summoned to the court, can Shi Wen give up there? ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen bowed his head and pondered.
Empress Yan Yunqi said eagerly: "Your Majesty is worried that Lord Cui will not be able to check and balance Ling Changzhi?" ”
He didn't nod his head in acknowledgement, but he didn't deny it either.
Lord Cui is a veteran of the imperial court and has a high prestige, but it does not mean that he can suppress Ling Changzhi.
Ling Changzhi has a heavy army in his hands, and he has the support of several top families behind him.
It's a bit of a hassle!
"I'll think again."
……
"Ben Hou thought about it carefully, His Majesty summoned me to the court with two decrees, which was very abnormal. Although, because of the matter of the king of Bushan County before, His Majesty had revealed goodwill, but he didn't expect to give Benhou the title of Taishi. Eccentric! ”
Pingwu Hou Shi Wen was uneasy.
He was worried that entering the court would be a Hongmen banquet.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen has behaved strangely in the past two years, and he does not play cards according to the rules, which is elusive.
It's hard to guarantee that after solving the three county kings, he gave birth to the idea of solving the local ministers.
Summoning people into the court, cutting off their wings, ambushing with swords and axes, and when the time comes, they will take his life when they smash the cup.
Yan Yunfei scolded him in an unkind tone, "Is Master Hou afraid of death?" ”
"Who is not afraid of death? Aren't you afraid of death? ”
Pingwu Hou Shi Wen looked angry, and his beard shook three times.
Yan Yunfei said bluntly: "Since the Hou Ye is afraid of death, beware of the emperor's uneasiness and kindness, then you will resign again." Anyway, it is impossible for the emperor to send someone to escort you to Jianzhou as an official. ”
Shi Wen snorted twice, and he suddenly asked, "If Benhou goes to Jianzhou to be an official, are you willing to go along?" ”
Yan Yunfei shook her head again and again, resolutely refusing.
"When the Hou Ye was the prime minister in the capital, I never went to Beijing to accompany me. This time, I still won't follow you to Jianzhou City. ”
"Why? The queen is in Jianzhou, and most of your concubines and sisters are also married in Jianzhou. If you follow me to Jianzhou, you can meet the Yan sisters from time to time. ”
"It is precisely because the queen is in Jianzhou that I refuse to go."
Yan Yunfei looked serious.
"I'm not sure what will happen in the future," she said. If you are in harmony with Your Majesty's monarchs and ministers, then it will be fine.
If the monarch and the minister are not harmonious, or even offend the face of heaven, what will you let me do? Enter the palace to intercede? It's hard to make the queen mother caught in the middle?
All in all, if you go to the court to be an official, if I follow, I will inevitably be involved in the harem. This is a very dangerous thing.
Over the years, Sister Yunge and the court have been divided and combined, fighting and killing, and the queen has never been involved, just to avoid making it difficult for the queen to be a person at both ends.
Me too! As the eldest sister, I can't bear to make it difficult for the queen. So, you don't have to expect me to follow you to Jianzhou City. ”
"In this way, in your mind, the queen is more important than Ben Hou."
"Ridiculous!"
Yan Yunfei immediately refuted.
"Let the queen mother be caught in the middle and be a difficult person, and the person who is unlucky in the end will not be the queen mother, but you and me, the Shi family. My sisterhood with the queen mother can't withstand the use of intercession again and again. I hope this sisterhood can be used to save your life at a critical moment, not to wipe your ass. ”
Her words were direct, even a little vulgar, but she also told the truth.
Even sisters of the same mother can't withstand years of tossing.
If you don't want to destroy this friendship, then keep the bottom line and grasp the measure.
Shi Wen was dissatisfied and unwilling.
He asked again: "If Ben Hou commits a crime, will you sit idly by?" You're ruthless. ”
"The affairs of the imperial court are naturally resolved by the rules of the imperial court. If you have the courage to stir up trouble, you must have the ability to do things. If you can't calm the contradictions, don't rush to the front to stir up trouble. ”
"After all, you just won't help Benhou. It is said that virtuous helpers, which kind of virtuous helpers are you. Single-mindedly trying to save your life, are you looking forward to Ben Hou's death? ”
"If you continue to toss like this, it will be a matter of time before you die."
Yan Yunfei didn't hide it at all, and went back directly.
Shi Wen was so angry that his cheeks were crooked.
This girl, with a poisonous mouth, refuses to hope that he is good?
Every time it's dead, it's dead.
How afraid of death she is!
Yan Yunfei rubbed her eyebrows, she was indeed afraid of death.
The child has not grown up yet, and she still needs the care and education of her parents, she doesn't dare to die!
If there is no concern, death is death!
She's going to die a happier death than anyone else!
Shi Wen stroked his beard, his beard was well maintained, and he looked exceptionally stylish.
"According to your intentions, this marquis should refuse the emperor's summons and refuse to enter the court as an official?"
"If you want to go, you can go. Actually, I estimate that the emperor's summoning of you to the court this time is not necessarily a bad thing. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
Yan Yunfei pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "How many years has Ling Changzhi left?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Wen's eyes lit up instantly.
"What do you mean is that the emperor secretly summoned Ling Changzhi's class to return to the court, and he was afraid that no one would be able to suppress him, so he summoned Benhou into the court to suppress Ling Changzhi?"
"Is this possible?"
"It's too likely!"
With a snap, Shi Wen slapped his thigh violently, making a sound.
He didn't feel any pain.
He walked up and down the room, pondering the pros and cons of the matter.
He said in a loud voice: "That kid Ling Changzhi, who has led the troops for several years, is no longer what it used to be. If the emperor really asked him to return to the court, as soon as he returned, he would definitely set off a storm in the court, and it would be difficult to control.
The emperor wants to win the hearts of the people, and cannot cross the river to tear down the bridge and kill the heroes. However, Ling Changzhi is young and strong, and it is far from the time for Zhishi to retire. At this moment, the emperor was really embarrassed.
The emperor can't keep letting him go outside to lead the troops, for fear that he will become the emperor of the southern territory, and it will be even more difficult to control. It is right for him to return to the court, and the court needs a force to balance him, and it is none other than Benhou.
Hahaha...... The emperor is really as wise as a torch, so in order to repay the emperor's Longen and Jianzhou City, Benhou really has to take a trip. ”
Yan Yunfei shook her head secretly, this is a whirlpool of power, and she can't get out.
She did not object to him going to Jianzhou.
Just remind him not to underestimate the enemy.
Don't go to the end, my reputation will be ruined in the hands of Ling Changzhi.
Shi Wen snorted, "Just kidding! Ben Hou eats more salt than Ling Changzhi eats, and you have to fight Ben Hou. ”
Yan Yunfei secretly rolled her eyes, "So, next are you accepting His Majesty's holy decree?" Or do you continue to resign and wait for the next decree before relenting? ”
"So as not to have too many dreams at night, it is natural to accept."
Shi Wen is very decisive, so he doesn't play that trick of three requests and three resignations.
Beware of shooting yourself in the foot.
If His Majesty refuses to cooperate, and there is no third holy decree, he will not regret his death.
Therefore, it is most important to grasp the present.
As for what others were talking about, he never cared.
He accepted the holy decree here, gave the book to the court, and chose to enter the court.
At that end, Emperor Xiao Chengwen had already begun to hesitate and wanted to take back his fate.
As a result, Shi Wen's actions were one step faster, and before he could take back his fate, Shi Wen's performance had already arrived in the political affairs hall.
Embarrassed!
"It seems that all this is providence, and God is destined to enter the court. In that case, proceed as originally planned. ”
In order to appease Empress Yan Yunqi, he promised to ask Master Cui Zhi Cui to re-emerge from the mountain and enter the court as a concubine, balancing Shi Wen and Ling Changzhi's uncles and nephews.
These series of operations really made the courtiers incomprehensible.
What is the Emperor doing?
As for being so eager?
It gives people the feeling of being impatient and wanting to solve all the problems of the government in one go.
It's not good, it's not good!
The first to notice the anomaly was Empress Dowager Tao.
"The emperor came out of the belly of the palace, and he knew his son Mo Ruomu. I'm afraid the emperor's body will not work! ”
As soon as these words came out, Young Eunuch Mei was suddenly startled, and his face turned pale.
"Is the Queen Mother sure? In case ......"
Empress Dowager Tao interrupted him and said in a very serious tone: "There is no case for this matter. Here's a list of people you can contact on behalf of your house.
Once the emperor falls, the palace will take advantage of the situation, trace the source, set things right, and re-establish the dynasty. This matter must be kept secret, you know it, I know it, and no third person must know about it.
The people on the list, you just need to tell them, wait for the order of the palace, and start building momentum in the court as soon as the order is given. Remember? ”
"The old slave remembered the instructions of the Queen Mother. Just, is it really possible? ”
"Of course it works! From the day the emperor came out of the belly of the palace, he was a sick seedling. He didn't live long. In fact, he can live to this day, which has exceeded the expectations of this palace. It stands to reason that as early as ten years ago, his life had come to an end. The extra years were all stolen by him. I just don't know what method he used to renew his life. ”
Young Eunuch Mei looked shocked and incredible.
"Your Majesty's life was stolen?"
"Or else? He was a sick man, and the imperial doctors judged that his life expectancy was limited. As a result, his health suddenly improved. Except for stealing his life, Hongu couldn't think of any other way. ”
"Will the mother think too much? His Majesty has had a doctor to recuperate his body since he was a child, and he has been recuperating quietly, and it is reasonable for his body to be well-healed. ”
Hehe......
Empress Dowager Tao sneered again and again, "Can you cure the problems brought out of the mother's womb?" What about liars! When you didn't ask the imperial doctor, are there still those famous doctors in the world?
Back then, Hongu wanted his health to get better than anyone else. However, everyone told Hongu that he could only raise it, and that it was lucky to live to adulthood.
Not only did he live to adulthood, he also married a wife and had children, and he was an emperor for so many years. If it is said that there is no ghost name, this palace will not believe it. ”
