Chapter 857: Hypochondria (Second Update)
"Why is my sister silent?"
Seeing that Yan Yunge was silent for a long time, Empress Dowager Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't my sister willing to help Hongu? My sister, like other courtiers, watched our mother and son being bullied and did nothing. ”
"The Queen Mother misunderstood!"
"You said that Bengu misunderstood, so can you give Bengu a clear answer."
Yan Yunge looked up at the other party, "Your Majesty is one or two years older than Yuan Chu, and Yuan Chu has already begun to learn to run errands. Instead of counting on me, the Queen Mother should delegate power to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty learn to participate in politics.
His Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the rightful emperor of the Great Wei, and he has not been in power for a few years. Does the Queen Mother really have to wait until Her Majesty is crowned and pro-government before she is willing to let go of power? ”
Empress Dowager Yan scolded: "Ridiculous! Your Majesty is young, and if you delegate power at this time, if you are used by someone with a heart, you will become a target. This palace is not a position of power, but no accidents are allowed. ”
"Isn't it an accident that the Queen Mother asked me to enter the court as an official?"
Yan Yunge's questioning embarrassed Empress Dowager Yan.
She let go of the other party's hand, "Speaking of which, my sister just won't help me, right." Thinking about it, sitting on the territory of the twelve counties of the two states, and changing it to the main palace, he refused to give up. No wonder the courtiers are hostile to you, because you are a veritable local prince, and you may establish yourself as the king at any time and divide the Great Wei Dynasty. ”
Yan Yunge lowered his head and smiled, "There is one thing that I must explain clearly. In addition to Pingyang County, Dongyang County, Bo County, and the territory of these three counties, the territory of the remaining nine counties under my name was taken from the hands of Beiliang.
Even if I set myself up as king one day, I can't talk about dividing the Great Wei River. I must remind the Empress Dowager that the Great Wei only owns half of the country, and don't be amorous and count the Northern Liang land on your head. ”
"Are you going to openly disagree with the court?"
Empress Dowager Yan asked sharply.
Yan Yunge waved his hand, "I never thought of going against the imperial court. Over the years, it has always been the imperial court that has been making things difficult for me and suppressing me.
Just as I said in the early court today, over the years, I have not reached out to ask the court for a penny, a person, or a weapon, but I have sent a large amount of taxes to the court every year.
However, it was precisely because I did not need the court that the court targeted me everywhere, and every three days and two ends had to discuss when I would establish myself as king.
The Queen Mother asked herself, do you really need me to help you suppress Shi Wen and Ling Changzhi, or do you want me to take the opportunity to seize my territory in order to empty me? ”
Empress Dowager Yan said emotionally: "Of course, this palace sincerely hopes that you will enter the court as an official and help this palace suppress those courtiers with ill intentions."
To tell you the truth, as early as when the first emperor determined the list of auxiliary ministers, the palace has always been against it.
At that time, the palace proposed to the first emperor that you should enter the court as an auxiliary minister.
It was the first emperor who disagreed, and the first emperor did not trust you.
However, Hongu trusts you. We are sisters, sisters, sisters, and this palace trusts you, and you will definitely not live up to this palace, right? ”
Yan Yunge's tone softened, "Thank you for the trust of the Queen Mother." However, I still say that I am not suitable to enter the court as an official.
I, a woman, as a minister of Great Wei, has already touched the nerves of many people. If I enter the imperial court and take the place of Lord Cui, I am afraid that the court will be boiling.
At that time, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will be forced to drive me out of the court.
In this case, why should I wade into this troubled water, and why should I make trouble for the Queen Mother, so that your majesty will be damaged, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Empress Dowager Yan retorted sharply, "You keep saying that you are a courtier of Great Wei, but for so many years, you have never listened to the dispatch of the imperial court, what kind of courtier is it."
Either you can simply set yourself up as a king and sit on the identity of a thief. Either you will be a real Great Wei courtier, and everything will be dispatched by the court and obey the orders of the palace. ”
Yan Yunge couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
She looked at the other party, "After talking for so long, the Queen Mother finally said the truth." Are you trying to force me to be the thief of Great Wei? ”
Empress Dowager Yan's eyes were as sharp as knives, forcing the other party, "This palace wants you to be a loyal minister of Great Wei, and you will die for the Great Wei Dynasty, are you willing?"
See, you're not happy. You are only willing to be a free prince and not be controlled by anyone.
If you have the opportunity, you even want to be the emperor yourself, the first female emperor since the beginning of the world.
We are sisters, and I know you. I even know you better than you think. You ask yourself, why did you choose this time to build a state?
Don't tell Hongu that you're here to visit your mother.
You came to Jianzhou this time to test and determine. Determine the attitude of the main house, determine the ability of His Majesty.
When you have the answer in your heart, that's when you make up your mind.
Whether you want to send troops south and grab the territory of Great Wei is all in your thoughts.
Sister, sister, if I were just a simple housewife, do you know how I would worship you, and how much I hope you can succeed?
However, fate plays tricks on people, I am the queen mother of Great Wei and the mother of His Majesty. I will never allow anyone to threaten the rivers and mountains of Great Wei, never! ”
Bang!
With her vow, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Yan Yunge put away her smile, "Since the Queen Mother said this, wouldn't it be very disrespectful if I continued to cover it up."
That's right, I'm ambitious. However, I can tell you unambiguously that I have no decisions, and I have no determination.
If I have to say what I have made up my mind, this time I came to Jianzhou, which only made me more determined in the plan of the Northern Expedition.
My goal has always been the Northern Liang, the vast north, not to go south to fight for the Great Wei River.
The Queen Mother should not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
I came to Jianzhou this time just to see you and let you take a dose of reassurance. It's a pity that my arrival seems to make you even more nervous and panicked. ”
Empress Dowager Yan was half-convinced, full of questions, "What you said is true?" You're just going on the Northern Expedition, you don't go south? ”
Yan Yunge sneered, "Why should I go south? There are my relatives here, and there are my blood ties, I can't think about it, so I have to send troops to the south?
Besides, the Great Wei court is full of talents and famous generals, and I am not sure that I can win the imperial army.
It's better to go north and compete with Liu Baoshun.
Anyway, my soldiers and horses are already familiar with the climate and topography of the Northern Liang and the soldiers of the Northern Liang.
They are all old opponents, and they are handy in fighting, and they don't need to consider the problem of adaptation. ”
Empress Dowager Yan hugged her, "Fourth sister, it was this palace that misunderstood you." The courtiers nag in the ears of the palace every day, saying that you are a wolf and a thief of the Great Wei.
The three of them became tigers, and Hongu almost fell for it, believing their words.
You're right, those courtiers are clearly envious, jealous and hateful, so they will spare no effort to attack you, be hostile to you, suppress you, and slander you.
It's all wrong with this palace, and outsiders don't want to believe you. Fourth sister, will you forgive Hongu? ”
The Queen Mother's face-changing kung fu has won the essence of inheritance, and her performance is superb, without any sense of disobedience.
It makes people feel surprised, sincere, incomparably moved and delighted.
Yan Yunge sighed secretly.
The ass decides the head, and this never lies.
Power changes a person!
Holding the power of the empire has made a person change from head to toe, from hair to the soles of his feet.
This is an inevitable change, but also an imaginary change.
She laughed at herself, she was really a mere nuisance.
She asked teasingly: "Is the Queen Mother still angry?" Do you want to force me to enter the court to be an official? ”
Empress Dowager Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head with a smile, "If you are not happy, this palace will not force you." We're still good sisters, working together, right? ”
"The Queen Mother is right in everything she says."
Empress Dowager Yan laughed happily and took Yan Yunge's hand and sat down again.
She said excitedly: "It was Bengong's gaffe just now. In the past few years, Bengong couldn't believe that he had survived.
Now that I think about it, I don't know how I got through it in the first place. Such days are too tormenting, which makes the palace suffer from gains and losses, and the spirit is extremely nervous, and there is always a suspicion that someone wants to hurt our mother and son.
Especially Shi Wen and Ling Changzhi, if there is a little movement, it will be difficult to sleep and eat in this palace.
Don't hide it from the fourth sister, over the years, this palace has not slept a peaceful night.
Look at me, I'm a lot older, I look a few years older than my actual age. Hey, it's all because I'm too worried about it, and I'm so old alive. ”
"The Queen Mother is not old, well-maintained, and still looks young and full of energy."
"No more! It's not as energetic as when I was younger. Now, it's all about holding on in one breath. If you let out this breath one day, I'm afraid that this palace will not be able to sleep for a long time. ”
Yan Yunge looked at her, "The Queen Mother likes to take care of everything, and she also treats Her Majesty as an ignorant child. However, the child will grow up one day. ”
Empress Dowager Yan was obviously not happy to discuss this topic.
She said perfunctorily: "When Your Majesty is crowned as an adult, the palace will hand over the authority to him and let him be a real emperor." ”
Yan Yunge lowered his head and smiled, no longer persuading.
As long as the topic of delegating power to the emperor is not discussed, Empress Dowager Yan's attitude is also mild.
She is like a real eldest sister, caring about her younger sister and asking questions about her long and short questions.
Yan Yunge chatted with her patiently, and the time seemed to go back to more than ten years ago, when she was still in the capital of the Northland......
The good times are always in the memory.
In today's life, there are always all kinds of unsatisfactory, imperfect, and dissatisfied
However......
Today's dissatisfaction may be a good memory for the future.
Anything is possible.
Empress Dowager Yan left her to dine in the palace, and specially called the young Xiao Yuanchu to ask about her studies.
"Congratulations to my sister, it's really enviable to have a son like this."
"The Queen Mother praises falsely, he is an ordinary qualification, not as good as His Majesty's genius, and the revival of the Great Wei is promising!"
