The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, walked into Weiyang Palace with a sick face.
After such a long delay, Empress Tao's anger had subsided.
At this time, she was already in the mood to cook tea.
"Come and sit!"
She was the first to greet Xiao Chengwen.
Xiao Chengwen took a few steps forward and bowed, "Say hello to the queen mother!" β
"Excuse me! If you are not in good health, you should not be so polite in the future. Sit down and talk! β
"My son obeys!"
Xiao Chengwen sat on the ground, his eyebrows and eyes stretched.
Queen Tao poured the tea herself and put the teacup in front of him, "Taste the tea art of this palace, but there is a regression." β
Xiao Chengwen picked up the teacup, took a sip, tasted it carefully, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the queen mother, the tea art has improved again." β
When Empress Tao heard this, she laughed.
"I have a little understanding today, but I didn't expect it to promote the improvement of tea art. Lost mulberry elm, harvested east, this person, it's really hard to tell. β
She was quite emotional.
Xiao Chengwen smiled, "Listening to the waiter, the queen mother has a big temper today. β
Queen Tao was disgusted, "You really can't open any pot." Hongu's mood is just a little better, and it is ruined by you again. β
"It's the son's, it's not. It's just that the queen mother asked her son to enter the palace, not just for those unhappy things. β
Xiao Chengwen apologized insincerely, which was very reasonable.
Empress Tao drank tea with a teacup, and she said slowly: "Today, your father and emperor received a report from Jin Wuwei, and he was angry, and he was furious in the Sizheng Palace, slashing and killing several palace people, and the courtiers were also alarmed. Such a big thing happened, how could Hongu pretend not to know and rush over as soon as possible. But I didn't expect ......"
Speaking of this, Queen Tao sneered.
I don't know if I'm ridiculing myself or I'm ridiculing Emperor Yongtai.
She continued: "Your father acted madly, and even grabbed Bengong's neck, as if he wanted to kill Bengong. Fortunately, he still has a shred of sanity. β
With that, she loosened her collar slightly, revealing her bruised neck.
Seeing this, Xiao Chengwen frowned, "The queen mother has suffered!" The father should not have treated the queen mother like this. β
Empress Tao tightened her collar and sneered, "This palace said that your father and the emperor have gone crazy." Those words, the palace told him, telling him to kill a lot of officials, and then he could fundamentally alleviate the disaster. However, he suspected that the palace harbored evil intentions and divided the relationship between him and the courtiers. I really don't know what to say. You are dedicated to sharing the worries of the court, but unfortunately, your father does not appreciate it at all. β
She had mockery on her face, not only mocking Emperor Yongtai, but also mocking Xiao Chengwen.
You can't be too naΓ―ve.
Xiao Chengwen was not disappointed, but asked carefully, "Can the queen mother tell me in detail about my father's reaction at that time." β
Empress Tao frowned slightly, obviously not wanting to recall those unpleasant experiences.
Seeing Xiao Chengwen's insistence, she opened her mouth to speak.
Xiao Chengwen listened very carefully, did not let go of every detail, and asked repeatedly.
After asking, he laughed instead.
"The queen mother said before that her son was working in vain, and the father didn't listen to those suggestions, but the son didn't think so. On the contrary, the son felt that it was precisely because his father was interested in his heart and recognized the suggestion of the queen mother that he would be furious and say words of punishment. β
When Queen Tao heard this, she couldn't help frowning.
"Bengong and your father have been married for more than 20 years, and Bengong knows his temper better than you."
Xiao Chengwen shook his head and denied it.
"The queen mother only knows about her father's past, but she doesn't know the current father. Since quelling the rebellion of the princes and kings, hasn't the queen mother noticed that her father has changed significantly? In the past, the father and emperor could calm down, be willing to give up his son, and understand the truth of repentance and slow planning.
Now, my father has become eager for quick success and good face. In front of the queen mother, how could he be embarrassed to accept those opinions? He must be annoyed and ashamed, refuted, and scolded angrily, so as to hide his inner embarrassment and embarrassment. β
Empress Tao frowned and pondered.
Xiao Chengwen continued: "My father also realized that he had to lift the butcher's knife and kill in order to succeed. It's just that this matter is extremely risky, either don't move, or hit it with one blow. If the queen mother broke the matter, if he accepted the suggestion on the spot, if it reached the ears of the courtiers, it would definitely cause an uproar. It is better to scold and show no mercy, so as to deceive others. If the queen mother doesn't believe it, it's better to wait a few days, and the father will definitely make a move. β
Empress Tao was not in a very clear mood.
If things develop later and are said by the eldest son, it means that her understanding of the emperor is one-sided.
It's dangerous.
The emperor has changed, and her thinking consciousness is still stuck in the past.
The judgment of the emperor is also stuck in the past.
It's terrible!
A mistake in judgment may lead to the destruction of the family and the disaster of death.
Empress Tao was silent.
Xiao Chengwen didn't make a sound, he drank tea quietly.
After a long time, Empress Tao spoke, "Your father is moody......"
"He just cares more about his face than before!" Xiao Chengwen interrupted Empress Tao's words, "He can't allow others to refute her, question him, and challenge him." quelled the rebellion of the princes and kings, and gave his father great confidence, confident that there was nothing in the world that he could not solve. β
When Queen Tao heard this, she laughed, "It's really arrogant." There is nothing he can't solve, and as a result, a natural disaster makes him anxious, clumsy, and laughable. β
"That's why my father is angry with my mother! Father, he couldn't accept his defeat. β
This is true.
Emperor Yongtai is a person who wants to save face.
At first, he was full of confidence that natural disasters could definitely be solved, and it was a big deal to waste some food.
Reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.
Cut production by 50%, 60%, or even 70...... So much so that the harvest is lost.
This harvest, not to mention paying taxes, even eating is a problem.
If the villagers have no food to eat, people's hearts will be unstable.
If people's hearts are unstable, they will be used by careerists.
In the blink of an eye, there may be smoke.
He destroyed the east side, and raised the west side.
The south is destroyed, and the north is in turmoil.
The lessons of blood and tears of many dynasties are vividly remembered, how can Emperor Yongtai not be worried, how can he not be angry.
More than anyone else, he was eager to kill all officials, confiscate family property, and give relief to the victims.
But can he?
However, Queen Tao also pointed out this matter, and ridiculed him for not having courage and guts, and it was strange that Emperor Yongtai was not angry.
He doesn't want to lose face!
Empress Tao was a little angry.
She suspected that Xiao Chengwen had expected all this, but she still encouraged her to hit the south wall, and she really didn't feel good.
But she was not angry.
She looked calm, "According to what you said, the next step is to wait patiently and wait for your father to take the next step." β
Xiao Chengwen nodded, "Exactly!" In addition, the queen mother can inform the Tao family that it is time to restrain one or two, and don't look too ugly. Once the father made up his mind to find someone to operate, the Tao family would easily become a target at this time. If you can't avoid destruction, you should keep to yourself and stop getting involved in land trading. β
Empress Tao said: "This palace has long reminded your eldest uncle that he has been reined in a lot recently. Compared with many families, the land bought by the Tao family is not as small as a fraction of others. β
Xiao Chengwen seemed to smile, "Is the Tao family someone else?" β
Empress Tao's face sank.
Xiao Chengwen continued: "The family of the world, from generation to generation, the relationship is intertwined, and the whole body is involved. Therefore, the father did not dare to move the family easily. However, to deal with the Tao family, the father did not have this concern. The Tao family has only been in the past twenty or thirty years, and there is no foundation at all, and there is no strong in-laws to help each other.
Move the Tao family, effortlessly. Even if the queen mother comes forward to intercede in person, she may not be able to keep the Tao family. Since the Tao family has no confidence to play the family game, it is safer to stop it as soon as possible and stand aside to watch the play. β
Xiao Chengwen's tone made Queen Tao very dissatisfied.
When he talks about the Tao family, he seems to be a clown who jumps off the beam, and he has nothing to do with him.
Empress Tao had to remind him, "The Tao family is your mother family. β
Xiao Chengwen laughed, "Mother, the son is the prince first, and then the nephew of the Tao family. The son has a correct identity, and hopes that the queen mother can also correct his identity. β
"What's the matter, are you asking this palace to give up the Tao family when necessary? Without the Tao family, what is this palace? When the time comes, any concubine will dare to ride on the top of the palace to spread wild. β
"Without the Tao family, the queen mother still has a son and a third brother."
"You're wrong!"
Empress Tao sneered.
"Without the Tao family, you are still the prince. But this palace may not be the queen. The Tao family, no matter what, the palace must be saved. This palace knows that you are calculating, but you can't sacrifice the Tao family. You have to have a little conscience! β
Empress Tao spoke bitterly, and rarely asked for one thing so sincerely.
Xiao Chengwen lowered his head with a faint smile in his eyes.
Conscience!
Can conscience eat?
He held up his teacup and hid the sneer at the corner of his lips.
Empress Tao was physically and mentally exhausted.
Talking to the eldest son is more tiring than talking to the emperor.
She rubbed her eyebrows, "You have the right idea, no one can persuade you." This palace is helpless to take you. It's just that people live in the world, they always have to have a little expectation, a little hope, and need relatives and families. β
The son understood what the queen mother meant. The queen mother is relieved that her son is measured. The Tao family, the son will not move. β
Xiao Chengwen was very simple and made a promise to Queen Tao.
Only, can this promise be trusted?
Empress Tao's face was suspicious.
Xiao Chengwen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and pierced the window paper, "The queen mother should have more trust in me." β
Empress Tao also laughed, "This palace believes in you!" The children of this palace are all sons of sincerity. β
These words are like a heart-wrenching.
implies that if Xiao Chengwen can't fulfill his promise, he won't be her child.
Xiao Chengwen pursed his lips and smiled, not caring at all.
"The queen mother's tea art is refined. The son should often go to the palace to say goodbye, so that he can have the opportunity to drink the tea cooked by his mother herself. β
Queen Tao smiled, "If you like it, you have to get it every day when you enter the palace." As long as you don't think this palace is too long-winded, arguing about your purity. β
"When I enter the palace every day, I don't have anything, I'm afraid of arguing with the queen mother. It's still the same as before, when it's okay, I enter the palace once a month a month, it's enough! β
"Whatever you want! This palace has always been so indulgent to you. β
Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled, and the sarcasm in his eyes was even stronger.
