Chapter 643: The Emperor's Bottom Line (Three Changes)
Yan Yunge didn't wait for Ling Changzhi's good news, but first waited for the reward of the scumbag Yan Shouzhan.
It is not accurate to say that it is a reward.
At the beginning of the year, the scumbag Yan Shouzhan gave the court a book and asked the court to give him the title of prince.
The real intention of this recital is to test the attitude of the imperial court, and second, to disgust the emperor.
Of course......
If you can really give the title of king, it will be earned.
Months passed, and there was no movement, thinking that this matter was gone.
Unexpectedly, the summit took a turn ......
The emperor suddenly issued an order to seal the Marquis of Guangning Yan Shouzhan as the prince of the county, and the title was "Dongbo", which was the king of Dongbo.
The fiefdoms are Bo County and Dongyang County.
Considering that Dongbo Wang Yan was far away from the front line of the border pass, Bo County and Dongyang County were temporarily handed over to the Xiao family, the lord of Pingyang County, to be managed, assisted by Yan Yunge.
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked!
Yan Yunge's face turned green with anger!
Emperor Xiao Chengwen's hand, disgusting!
MMP!
What the hell did Ling Changzhi do.
She was so angry that she kicked over the small stool.
Xiao Shi, the county lord of Pingyang, was also so shocked that his jaw fell to the ground.
She called Yan Yunge to her side and asked, "What's the matter?" How could the emperor suddenly confer on your father the king of the county? What's even worse is that why is the fief not Youzhou, but Bo County and Dongyang County next door? ”
Yan Yunge sighed, "Ling Changzhi is incompetent!" He's messed things up! It was also I who underestimated the emperor's determination and forgot that he was the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven had the duty to defend the land.
He was willing to disgust me, telling me to have a word of suffering, and he didn't want that map, and he would not hand over Bo County and Dongyang County to me. He even did not hesitate to provoke internal disputes in our Yan family.
Hey, after all, this time I underestimated him, and I would rather die than give up an inch of land. ”
Xiao Shi frowned, "Bojun and Dongyang County were fought by you and Xiao Yi. Now, the emperor has issued an edict to give your father the territory of the two counties.
Nominally, the palace is in charge, and you assist, so it seems that this is also very good. But......
The Yan family has a large population, and your father gave the title of county king, and the fief was handed over to the foreign daughter to manage, and there will definitely be opposition within the Yan family.
Even a few months later, you may meet the Yan family, who are going to exercise the fiefdom management for your father.
The emperor's hand is really to make you have a word of suffering. He gave your father two counties, and you have no room for opposition. That's your father, after all.
The fief belongs to the Yan family, and you are a foreign daughter. Even if your father is devoted to you, it is impossible for the Yan family to watch the fiefdom fall into the hands of our mother and daughter.
If you embarrass the emperor, the emperor will create an even more difficult problem for you. How are you going to crack this game? ”
Yan Yunge gritted her teeth, "Does Mother have a good suggestion?" ”
Xiao Shi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "This palace will give the emperor a book, and ask the emperor to change the fief and give Youzhou to your father." Change the title of King of Youzhou! Youzhou is the foundation of the Yan family, and the palace believes that the Yan family also hopes that the emperor will give Youzhou as a fief. ”
Yan Yunge shook his head, "The emperor will not change his mind unless I back down." But let's go to the book, at least to express our attitude. ”
Shaw asked her, "Are you going to back down?" ”
Yan Yunge raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Of course my daughter can't back down!" Bo County, Dongyang County, I'm going to decide. The big deal was that I paid a sum of money to lease two counties from my father for a permanent term. ”
Burst!
Shaw almost squirted.
She really wanted to see what her daughter's brain was thinking.
I was able to think of a way to lease a fief.
"This is unprecedented, and even if your father agrees, Your Majesty will be hindered again. Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that the emperor is bent on preventing you from expanding your territory, in case your power grows too fast and threatens the imperial court. ”
"Bo County, Dongyang County, these two counties are going to be decided." Yan Yunge was loud, without the slightest intention of backing down.
Xiao nodded, "That's the problem, you want two counties to land and population, and the emperor will never watch the loss of land and not take measures." His defense against you is even higher than his defense against Shi Wen. Although Shi Wen was domineering, he only guarded Yuzhou and never took a step out of Yuzhou. And you, obviously, have touched the emperor's bottom line and lost your land! ”
Yan Yunge raised her eyebrows, "Mother wants to persuade me to take a step back and give the emperor a face?" ”
Xiao shook his head, "No matter who comes to persuade you, you will not back down." So this palace will not persuade you to back down! ”
"What does Mother want me to do?"
"Try not to go to war if you can, and try to solve this matter by regular means."
Yan Yunge frowned, "Ling Changzhi has done a bad job in this matter. Right now, no one can replace Ling Changzhi to convince His Majesty to change his decision. ”
"You once said that Ling Changzhi cherishes the map very much, and is willing to exchange the city for a map. This palace thought that he should not have given up on convincing His Majesty. You should have a little more confidence in Ling Changzhi. ”
"However, time waits for no one! I'm willing to give him a little more confidence, but will he be able to complete our agreement on time? ”
The implication was that time was limited, and she would use force to force the emperor to compromise if necessary.
Xiao Shi looked worried.
She really didn't want to see her daughter fight with the emperor.
Don't forget, the queen is also her own daughter.
Once the fight starts, it is equivalent to two daughters starting a war.
This situation ......
Let her be how it is!
At this moment, the next person reported that Ling Changan had come to visit and wanted to see the county guard.
Yan Yunge is the county guard of Pingyang County, and everyone calls her, some people still call her Mrs., and some people change their words to call adults.
Most of the people in the officialdom call her an adult.
Yan Yunge instructed the steward, "Please invite Young Master Ling to the flower hall for tea, and Mrs. Ben will go over in a moment." ”
"No!" The steward took the command and departed.
Xiao couldn't help but mention Yan Yunge, "Ling Chang'an is asking to see him at this time, it is very likely that he is representing Ling Changzhi." You have a good talk with him and don't make a decision lightly. ”
Yan Yunge pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Xiao Yi's side, I have already sent a letter, asking him to stand still for the time being, and wait for my order. It's a tug-of-war right now, and I'm not going to start a war rashly. ”
"Very good!" Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Flower Hall!
Ling Changan finally met Yan Yunge.
"Student meets Madame!"
"You don't have to be so polite! The imperial examination is imminent, and the seventeenth prince is not busy studying hard, so he came here today, so what's the matter? Aren't you afraid of losing time? ”
"Thank you Madame for your concern! Delaying for half a day and one day will not affect the students' imperial examinations. Students still have this self-confidence. ”
"Very good! You must know that Mrs. Ben has high hopes for you and Cui Xiucheng. As long as you don't give up, Mrs. Ben will not be stingy with high-ranking officials. ”
"Dare to ask Madame, where is the high-ranking official?"
Yan Yunge laughed, "You're not here today, it's not for yourself." What does Ling Changzhi have to say? ”
Ling Changan was embarrassed for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Madame is wise, and she can't hide anything from Madame. The student's visit today was indeed on the order of the clan brother. The clan brother said that things were not going well, it was only temporary, and he would do his best to solve it. ”
Yan Yunge sneered, "The holy decree to bestow the title of the father and the prince has been issued, and the wood has been completed, how else can he solve it?" Could it be that he has the ability to make the emperor take back his fate? ”
"One day before the holy decree reaches the hands of the Marquis of Guangning, there is still a chance to change the content of the holy decree." Ling Changan said solemnly.
"Oh?"
Yan Yunge was a little curious, "How does Ling Changzhi want to change the content of the holy decree, could it be that he plans to make an edict?" That's a big crime of killing the head, and it's tantamount to conspiracy! ”
Ling Changan lowered his head slightly, "Brother Clan, the student doesn't know exactly what to do. The student is just responsible for passing the word, please wait patiently, don't be impatient, the clan brother is hurrying to solve the problem. Strive to be able to make everyone happy. ”
Yan Yunge seemed to smile, "Okay! You send a message to Ling Changzhi, and Mrs. Ben will give him another month. If he is unable to solve the problem within a month, and cannot change the emperor's will, then Madame Ben can only solve the matter by her own means. ”
Ling Changan bowed down to receive the order.
Yan Yunge sends off tea to guests!
……
Jianzhou, Taisho Palace!
Emperor Xiao Chengwen, as usual, had lunch with Empress Yan Yunqi.
At this point in time, it is also the time he spends with the emperor every day.
The weather was hot, and Yan Yunqi lost some weight.
Like Yan Yunge, she also has a problem with bitter summer, and when it comes to midsummer, her appetite is not very good.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen teased the child for a while before asking the palace people to take the child down.
"The queen has been communicating with Yan Yunge recently?"
Yan Yunqi said calmly: "Your Majesty knows everything about my every move. In the past two months, I have not corresponded with my fourth sister. Maybe she's too busy. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course she is very busy, busy grabbing territory!" If she grabbed the land from Liu Zhang, it would be fine. But she wants to grab the land from my hands, and this matter cannot be forgiven! ”
Yan Yunqi paused, and her face was gloomy.
After a pause, she said, "Is the fourth sister really grabbing land?" I don't hear of people who have grabbed land and then paid their taxes in full. If a local official pays all the taxes, no matter what, he can be regarded as a pillar of the imperial court! ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen smiled coldly, "You want to stand up for her?" ”
"I don't stand up for anyone. When I was in the capital, Your Majesty and my fourth sister clashed several times, and I always didn't help each other. This time, too! It's just that I have some questions in my mind, and I don't know who to ask for answers. ”
"Since the two don't help each other, you shouldn't meddle in this matter. I don't want to affect the relationship between husband and wife because of this. ”
Yan Yunqi trembled in her heart, and then laughed, "Okay! I listen to Your Majesty, and I will not ask about this matter. No matter how many questions you have, you won't be able to export them. Please take care of your health and don't overwork. Although Your Majesty's body is well-maintained, you should also pay attention to maintenance on weekdays! ”
"Don't worry, I have it in mind!"
After lunch, Emperor Xiao Chengwen returned to the Ideological and Political Palace to continue to be busy with government affairs. sink
The courtiers carried it in baskets and baskets.
This is still the situation after the screening of the political affairs hall.
If it had not been screened, even if the emperor had three heads and six arms, and twenty-four hours in a day, it would have been impossible to review all the manuscripts.
Looking through the courtiers' recitals, it is all exhortation.
Basically, they are all against giving Feng Yan to defend the war.
