It turned out that the queen was not really sick, but because a few days ago the child really Khan sent someone to send a generous gift to the Great Zhou Emperor, along with this generous gift there was also a Jurchen princess, sixteen years old, it is said that she was beautiful and incomparable, and was accepted into the harem by the emperor, and made an exception for her, specially added a concubine after the four concubines of Guishu Dexian, and the favor was unmatched for a while. Follow? Dream?

Seeing this, the queen couldn't help but be worried, jealous on the one hand, and worried that the emperor would affect the national policy for a woman.

After all, now the Great Zhou is in a sensitive period, whether to choose to join forces with the Jurchens against the Khitan or choose to join forces with the Khitan to fight against the Jurchens, the final result will directly affect the fate of the Khitan and the Jurchen, and thus the national fortunes of the Great Zhou.

Although the queen is not very knowledgeable about political affairs and is not allowed to participate in politics, she has the intuition of a woman, and as a queen, she has experienced ups and downs and gained insight with the emperor over the years.

Of course, Li Sui didn't want to say these words truthfully, he just vaguely told Yan Yan that the queen had been a little depressed because of her bad mood recently.

But the Queen Mother on the side heard this and asked directly: "Isn't it for that concubine?" ”

Li Sui saw that the Queen Mother directly called Concubine Chen's name, but she didn't hide it, turned to Yan Yan, and said eagerly, "Sister Yan'er, why don't you go and persuade the emperor?" The emperor has always been able to listen to you, haven't you always wanted Da Zhou and Jurchen to join forces? ”

"What do you mean? The emperor wants to join forces with the Jurchen? Yan Yan is a blindfolded face.

Because she still doesn't know about the concubine, on the fourth day of junior high school in Songlu Academy, she still feels that the emperor is obviously inclined to her remarks, how do you know what kind of Jurchen princess suddenly appeared in these short ten days?

Li Sui glanced at the Queen Mother when he heard this, and saw that the Queen Mother did not object, so he told Yan Yan the origin of this concubine.

Yan Yan also knew that this Concubine Chen secretly entered Beijing with the Jurchen delegation at the end of last month, and the emperor received this delegation the day after returning from Songlu Academy, and it is not clear what outsiders talked about, but the Jurchen princess stayed in the harem that day and was named Concubine Chen three days later.

There was such a big thing in the harem, and it quickly spread to the former dynasty, but Lu Duan didn't look like Yan Peng, under normal circumstances, it was difficult for Yan Yan to see him, and even if he met, Lu Duan would not discuss these with Yan Yan.

In fact, there was another reason why Lu Duan didn't say it, because he knew that the emperor's move was contrary to Yan Yan's suggestion, but it was in line with Lu Ming's point of view, and at the same time it was in line with his original idea.

In this case, Lu Duan naturally won't have much to do, he doesn't want to make the family uneasy again because of a Yan Yan.

It was Lu Ming who was the happiest after knowing the news, because the plan assigned to him by the emperor happened to be to unite the Jurchens to destroy the Khitan, so he spent the past few days writing at home, and he also discussed and debated with Lu Duan and the Lu family's staff.

Of course, Yan Yan didn't know these details, she knew that the emperor had told Lu Ming to write a strategy, but she didn't think much about it at that time, and thought that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to see Lu Ming's talents, how did she know that it was related to the Jurchen mission?

It's strange that the emperor obviously agreed with Yan Yan's views before, otherwise he would not have specially announced her to enter the palace for verification, let alone repeatedly brought her views to the court for discussion.

What exactly changed his mind?

Just for a woman?

Yan Yan didn't believe it, as an emperor, what beautiful and smart woman he hadn't seen, why would he be fascinated by a foreign woman?

But if it weren't for this reason, it must be something promised by the Jurchens, and the conditions that could make the Great Zhou Emperor tempt were nothing more than the sixteen states of Yanyun, and perhaps, they could also get a piece of the pie and carve up part of the Khitan land with the Jurchens and Mongolia.

If that's the case, it's a problem.

How many emperors can resist this temptation?

Could it be that the Great Zhou really wanted to repeat the tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty?

"Sister Yan'er, I'm talking to you, are you going or not?" Li Sui interrupted Yan Yan's distraction.

"Back to His Royal Highness, this matter is really not within my ability, but I think the emperor should make his own decision, and we should trust him." Yan Yan said vaguely.

Although she was also disappointed, she definitely didn't have the courage to persuade the emperor to persuade her.

Besides, Li Cong is not a hairy young man who has never seen anything in the world, he is not confused at his age, he became the emperor at the age of more than a year, and he has been in power for more than 20 years, if he can't even find a beauty, then he will be too underestimated.

Therefore, Yan Yan felt that the trouble was the condition put forward by the Jurchens, but so far, she has put out all the arguments that can be put forward, and she can't put them out, and she can't say that she is a wisp of soul from a thousand years later, she knows that the Jurchens in history repented and finally destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, so the Great Zhou will also repeat the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty.

If that's the case, I'm afraid she's not far from death.

"Sui'er, you go and call your brothers, and say that dinner is for me, and your sister Yan'er is here to give you a New Year's gift." The Queen Mother saw that Yan Yan was distracted again, and guessed that she should still have something to say, so she found a reason to send Li Sui away.

Li Sui guessed the Queen Mother's thoughts, although he really wanted to stay and listen to what Yan Yan would say, but the Queen Mother spoke, and he didn't dare to disobey.

After Li Sui went out, Ah Rong glanced at the palace maid and eunuch in the house, and then led everyone out of the door, and she personally guarded the door.

"Child, I know that you have always been smart and assertive, you can talk to me about it, is it a good thing or a bad thing about Concubine Chen?" The Queen Mother asked first.

She hadn't forgotten that her son had discussed the Jurchen and Khitan issues with Yan Yan more than once, and had praised Yan Yan more than once for being smart and insightful, so she wanted to hear Yan Yan's opinion as an outsider.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this question really stumped me, Queen Mother, the person who knows the emperor best should be you, do you think the emperor will delay state affairs because of a woman? At his age and status, what kind of woman he hadn't seen? Yan Yan replied thoughtfully.

Although these words reassured the Queen Mother, she didn't forget Yan Yan's expression, "That's not it." But if that's the case, son, what are you worried about? ”

Yan Yan was startled when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, after all, his Taoism was still too shallow, and he easily let outsiders see his thoughts.

But how should she answer this question?
