Chapter 329: Ruling the World Together
Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The Southern Army is dispatched!
The task is to get the food back.
In such a cold weather, troops were dispatched to grab food, and the southern army was quite resentful.
Before, he had been quelling the chaos outside and killing the thieves.
Just a few days after returning to the capital, he had to send troops to grab food.
The key is that the previous reward for quelling the chaos and killing the thieves has not yet been issued, and the commanders and generals have also been replaced, and the generals are still in the run-in period.
At this time, the troops were dispatched, and the weather was so cold, it was impossible to have no grievances.
It's just that the emperor has decreed that the southern army must be dispatched.
Fortunately, only half of the people need to be dispatched.
The imperial court's plan was a two-step process.
While sending the southern army to snatch the grain back, Shaofu was also seizing the time to raise food.
Shaofu didn't have enough food, so he tried to borrow food from the family.
As for whether the borrowed grain should be returned, that is a matter for later.
How to borrow food from the family is the key.
The family is a group of misers, so they naturally refuse to borrow food easily.
When it comes to food, everyone starts to call it poor.
It's miserable, it seems like I'm eating bran every day.
After all, Emperor Xiao Chengyi of Taining is young and inexperienced, and he is powerless to deal with these old fritters.
Empress Dowager Tao once again walked up to the Jinluan Hall to attend the early morning.
She looked at the black head below, and said solemnly: "The Wuheng Royal Court is menacing, and the soldiers are fighting bravely to kill the enemy. If it was because the supply of grain and grass was not timely, the fighter plane was delayed, so that the Wuheng Royal Court broke through the checkpoint, drove in, and entered the capital, even if the family surnamed Xiao did not end well, would you Aiqing be able to stand alone?
You Aiqing and the family behind you have been prosperous for hundreds of years, and everything is orthodox, can you watch the alien race burn, kill and loot on this beautiful country? Can you accept that you have become a lackey slave of a foreign race, driven and beaten and scolded by a foreign race, and your clothes are not there?
If you can't accept the alien race stepping into this land, please contribute your strength. At this time, any small force may change the situation on the battlefield, ensure that the country is immortal, your families are immortal, and your clothes are immortal! ”
Empress Dowager Tao was sincere in her words and sincere in her attitude.
The ministers were silent.
It's not to ignore, it's just that everyone needs time to think.
The Wuheng royal court is menacing, and in such a cold weather, they refuse to retreat, and they have always wanted to wait for an opportunity to go south.
The soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Dynasty strictly guarded all dangerous passes.
The frontier occupies a line of several hundred miles.
With such a long front, the number of soldiers and horses required to prevent the soldiers and horses of the Wuheng Royal Court from going south is terrifying.
Moreover, the front may continue to stretch at any time, and it is possible to stretch for thousands of miles.
At that time, the forces will either be dispersed, or more troops will have to be sent to the front.
The reality is that the imperial court is no longer able to support more soldiers and horses hoarded on the frontier front.
Those anti-thieves are making a lot of trouble, and they still need troops just in case.
The lack of food and grass is likely to lead to a complete defeat on the battlefield.
You must know that once the Wuheng Royal Court breaks through the defense line, no soldiers and horses can deal a strong blow to the Wuheng Royal Court along the way.
So, the line of defense is important.
No matter what, the Wuheng Royal Court must not be allowed to break through the defense line.
In order to achieve this goal, it was necessary to deliver grain, grass and cotton clothing to the defense line in a timely manner and to the hands of the generals.
Empress Dowager Tao held up more than a dozen books, "These are the books of the generals urging grain and grass, and each one is more eager than the other. It can be seen that the situation at the front line is not optimistic. Ladies and gentlemen, you can't hesitate any longer! At this critical juncture, please help you to turn the tide and protect the world. The Xiao family will rule the world with all of you. ”
In fact, in this world, the royal family and the family rule the world together.
It's just that no one has ever dared to pierce this layer of window paper.
This time, it is also the first time that a member of the royal family, or the queen mother, said the phrase "rule the world together".
The original unspoken rules are put on the bright side, which means that the royal family officially recognizes "ruling the world together"!
For the Maison officials, this is a signal, a symbol!
As the saying goes, only the right name can be said to be smooth.
The simple "co-governance of the world" is a big difference between saying it and not saying it.
Needless to say, that's the unspoken rule.
The family controls the government, and it is not so reasonable after all.
said that, then the family's control of the government seems to have legal support.
That's right.
The family does not lack food, people, or money, and what is lacking is justifiable.
Since the Empress Dowager promised to "rule the world together" in person, the courtiers also generously donated money and took the initiative to take on the important task of delivering food to the front line.
The power of the Maison is terrifying.
The problem of grain and grass that made Shaofu anxious, in one morning, all be solved, and there is still a surplus.
Even if there is no harvest for the whole year next year, the food delivered by the Maison will be enough to sustain it.
This is the power of the Maison, the rich!
is so rich that it makes Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi grit his teeth.
……
In private, Empress Dowager Tao persuaded Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi, "Don't be angry!" Getting through the current difficulties is the most important thing. ”
Xiao Chengyi said solemnly: "The queen mother should not promise the courtiers to 'rule the world together'. The world belongs to the Xiao family, and this will never change. ”
Empress Dowager Tao smiled contemptuously, "Doesn't the palace say the words 'rule the world together', and the courtiers won't control the local government and the government?" Hongu just turned the things under the table and placed them on top of the table. ”
That being said, the Queen Mother's words were of great significance. Before, they knew shame and that they had to hide under the table so as not to cause criticism. With the promise of the queen mother, they can abandon their shame and meddle in government affairs and local government affairs openly. ”
Empress Dowager Tao smiled, "The courtiers have always been very reasonable, but they only do not say anything. Now they do and talk, but they will leave behind the handle. ”
"Ridiculous!"
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi gritted his teeth and was very angry!
Empress Dowager Tao frowned, a little dissatisfied, "You think the palace is doing something wrong, why didn't you bring it up when you discussed it in advance." ”
"At that time, the queen mother did not say that she would promise to 'rule the world together'."
"Whether the palace promises or not, it can't change reality."
But what was hidden under the table was generously placed on the table, giving the lawless courtiers greater authority. The courtiers were already difficult to contain, and they pressed me step by step. As soon as the queen mother relented, the courtiers would become more and more domineering, and my situation would become more difficult. Did the Queen Mother consider these consequences before she said that? ”
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi was really angry.
On the Jinluan Palace, he didn't have time to stop the Empress Dowager Tao.
Nowadays, it is too late
He walked away, resentful in his heart.
It can't go on like this.
……
Syllable!
In Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Tao directly overturned the small table, and the tea splashed everywhere.
Since she became the queen mother, she has never moved from the Yang Palace to the Changle Palace.
"The Queen Mother is angry!"
Young Eunuch Mei persuaded softly.
Empress Dowager Tao took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "The emperor's attitude, you also saw it just now. Shaofu was short of food, he couldn't save face, and he couldn't figure out how to get the courtiers to be generous. It was Hongu who solved this most difficult problem for him.
But if you look at his attitude, not only is he grateful, but he also dislikes the fact that the palace is troublesome, and he shouldn't talk nonsense. But why didn't he want to think about it, if he didn't give some sweetness, how could the courtiers take the initiative to give food, and it was such a huge amount of food.
Moreover, the courtiers also promised to bear part of the task of transporting grain and grass, which solved the big problem of the court at once, and there was no need to levy people's husbands, which relieved the suffering of the people. He couldn't see such a big benefit, so he only stared at the words 'governing the world together'.
If this palace doesn't say these four words, isn't the world ruled by the royal family and the family? If you want the horses to run and don't let the horses eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world. He said that Bengong was ridiculous, and Bengong looked at him to be the real ridiculous! ”
Young Eunuch Mei hurriedly said: "Niang Niang is angry! Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, things have been one thing after another, and there has been no time to catch your breath. His Majesty has newly ascended the throne, he is under great pressure and anxious, and the last time he sent Luo Xiaonian for disaster relief, he was suppressed by the courtiers. His Majesty is deeply jealous of the courtier's family, and today everything is understandable. ”
"Of course Hongu understands him! But who understands Hongu? Hongu took the trouble to help him solve the problem, but he didn't appreciate it. The heart of this palace is so cold! ”
Empress Dowager Tao was in a bad mood, and under the pretext of being unwell, she closed her door for several days.
Whoever came to ask for peace was gone.
Zhong Shuyun, as the queen, naturally had to stand up at this time and do her filial piety for Emperor Xiao Chengyi of Taining.
Every morning and evening, in the morning and dusk, go to Changle Palace on time to say goodbye.
It's just that every time I go, I eat behind closed doors.
Zhong Shuyun was not discouraged, and was determined to persevere until Empress Dowager Tao was willing to see her.
Princess Chengyang learned of this situation and hurried into the palace and came to Weiyang Palace.
"It's a cold day, the Queen Mother refuses to see you, you just leave by yourself, why do you have to stand outside the gate of Changle Palace and wait for half an hour? On such a cold day, let alone half an hour, even if it is a moment's effort, it will freeze people to death. Don't you want a body anymore? The Queen Mother and the Emperor's mother and son have a conflict, don't mix it up blindly! ”
In the final analysis, Princess Chengyang still feels sorry for her daughter's body.
This winter, it's really unusually cold.
The chill that came out of the cracks in the bones.
In the capital alone, hundreds of people have frozen to death before the winter is halfway through.
Outside the capital, there will only be more people freezing to death.
Empress Zhong Shuyun said: "Mother doesn't have to worry about me. As the queen, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have a conflict, if I hide and don't do anything at this time, others should say that I, the queen, can't afford things and am not qualified to sit in this position! ”
"Who dares to say that? You tell Hongu, and Hongu cleans her up. ”
Princess Chengyang rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to be angry for her daughter.
Zhong Shuyun hurriedly said: "Mother is angry! Even if no one is talking behind my back, I can't turn a blind eye to the current situation. The Queen Mother refuses to see me, it doesn't matter. I just do what I have to do, let the Queen Mother, let Your Majesty, and let the world see my sincerity and attitude.
It's cold, and I know it, so every time I go out, I wear a thick dress and a brass hand stove, so my mother doesn't have to worry about me getting sick from the cold. ”
Princess Chengyang sighed again and again, "You, since you became a queen, it's like a different person." All day long, the rules are beneficial, and I always demand myself with the set of mothers in the world. No need! You are the queen, and you are the biggest in the harem except for the queen mother. You can do whatever you want, why are you so dignified and serious? ”
Zhong Shuyun said solemnly: "Your Majesty is very difficult at the moment, there are thousands of military affairs, and none of them are going well. At this time, I am not able to share His Majesty's worries, but I also cannot cause trouble for him. If I can do my filial piety for him and help him, I am very satisfied. ”
With that, she laughed.
It seems that she is really enjoying her life at the moment.
Others felt that she was tired, but she was willing to do it.
Princess Chengyang didn't see it.
She couldn't figure it out, her own daughter, when she was in the boudoir, was obviously a hearty girl, and she had something to say.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never broken the rules to restrain her daughters.
Why in a blink of an eye, the girl added the rules to her body, and she enjoyed it quite a bit.
She reached out and touched her daughter's forehead, "No fever!" Who is talking nonsense in your ear that makes you live every day not like a person, but like a template in a book? Are you stupid or not? Is it the next time the emperor takes a concubine, you have to smile and nod in agreement?
Let me tell you, the so-called upright queen, the mother of the world, none of them live happily, and the end is not very good. Don't be misled by the books written by pedantic scholars. ”
Zhong Shuyun frowned slightly, "Is my mother letting me be willful?" ”
Princess Chengyang said bitterly, "This palace didn't let you be willful, I'm reminding you not to live so hard." Be comfortable, be casual. Like now, the Queen Mother is angry with the emperor and refuses to see you, you go to Changle Palace to show up, just get there. There is no need to stand outside the gate of Changle Palace for half an hour, beware of freezing your body. ”
Zhong Shuyun sighed, "I understand my mother's kindness." The reason why I did this is also for Your Majesty. If she doesn't show enough sincerity, how can the Queen Mother easily forgive Your Majesty. ”
Princess Chengyang was annoyed, "You fart! If you really want to make the Queen Mother angry, the best way is to ask the emperor to go to Changle Palace in person to ask for guilt. When their mother and son met, they talked about it, and there were no contradictions. If you are alone and struggled to perform, the Queen Mother will not take care of you, but will toss you with her heart.
Let me tell you, from now on, every time you go to Changle Palace to say goodbye, as long as the Queen Mother refuses to see you, you will immediately turn around and leave, remember? You can't get used to their mother and son, and you have wronged yourself. You, the more you live, the more stupid you become, the more pedantic you live. I'll have to ask you who is talking nonsense in your ear and teaching you useless pedantic rules. ”
Zhong Shuyun smiled bitterly.
Still, she accepted her mother's advice.
"From now on, if the Queen Mother still doesn't see me, I promise not to wait stupidly outside the gate of Changle Palace. Mother can rest assured now. ”
Princess Chengyang snorted coldly, "The people around you have to clean up." Bengong has lived in the palace for many years, and the methods of those, Bengong knows better than you. It's not a good thing, the rules are long and short all day, you really think they are for your good. They clearly want to control you.
Once you follow the rules in everything, those will have a chance to come out and take care of you, the queen. When the time comes, the huge Weiyang Palace will be ruled by a bunch of cheap maids. You are more casual and comfortable in everything, they can't guess your thoughts, so they can't handle you, understand? ”
