Chapter 7, Section 22 The queen is but a receptionist
Sima Lun was different from other clan kings, probably because the experience of almost being "abandoned from the city" gave him a lot of stimulation, making him more worried than other clan kings. So when he entered the palace to face the saint, he also asked his princess to visit me in the harem and gave me a large number of precious gifts brought from the north, such as precious stones, mink, ginseng, and so on.
The next day, the couple visited my mother in person and gave me many gifts. Since he wants to take refuge in me, I will not turn him away from thousands of miles away. Moreover, the current situation is that Wei and Sima Wei are temporarily in power. These two people are not my henchmen, I will have to replace them sooner or later, and I really need someone who can be used by me to appear in the core leadership of the imperial court, who can not only assist the emperor, but also be my eyes and ears.
If Sima Lun Mao recommended himself to play this role, I naturally would not object. It saves me the trouble of looking for it, doesn't it?
But Sima Lun was too greedy, and he actually asked me to support the book. I smiled and didn't refuse him to his face, but just said, "This palace can't answer you, you are also an official for many years, and you know what procedures are needed to accomplish this." First of all, someone must be put on the table, and then it will be submitted to the court minister's court, and the court will pass it, and finally hand it over to the emperor for review, and then it can be finally decided. Sima Lun smiled, "Niangniang is joking, these little things, Niangniang told the emperor, and the emperor just made another decree, where is there such trouble?" ”
Dare to love Sima Lun has been a general for so many years, but his level of knowledge is still at the stage of being a thief back then. If the appointment of the dignified Shangshu order is as easy as he said, then what do you need to do in the early court and the court? If the emperor directly orders something, the courtiers will do it.
If that's the case, wouldn't the emperor become a legendary "one-man thief"?
And. The implication of his words seems that I am used to blowing the pillow wind. I was a little displeased and said, "Where do you start?" Isn't that my meddling in government affairs? You say this, update the fastest. I don't know what will happen to add vinegar to it. ”
Sima Lun actually said with a smile: "But the people are like this, why should the mother bear the false name in vain, this is a big rule." I immediately asked, "How did the people spread it?" ”
Sima Lun also knew that he was in too much of a hurry, so he immediately laughed and said, "Weichen doesn't mean anything else, Weichen just wants to tell Niangniang that Niangniang's prestige in the hearts of the people." ”
At this point, there is no way to continue. Sima Lun was also a little embarrassed. After a few more polite words, he got up and said goodbye. After sending Sima Lun away, Xiaocui said puzzledly, "Niangniang, this King Zhao is obviously here to see you, why is he talking so domineering?" ”
I thought for a while and said, "In terms of seniority, he is an uncle, I am a nephew and granddaughter-in-law, and he is nearly thirty years older than me, and it is normal for him to build an elder frame in front of me." ”
Shan Wan said disapprehantly: "The national rite is greater than the family rite. Here is only about the monarch and the minister, who talks to him about uncles and nephews. ”
I smiled and said, "That's right, but as a grandfather-level elder." He will definitely set up a frame in front of his grandchildren. If I eat this set, won't he be able to suppress me in the future? If I don't eat. It's not too late for him to change his attitude. ”
Just like Sima Liang, the king of Runan. The array in power. In front of the emperor, he gradually filled up his uncle and brought a sword into the palace. The court did not worship, which was better than Yang Jun's presumptuousness back then. Now that he has lost his momentum, he immediately became cautious and cautious, worshipping Ruyi with his ministers every day, and he didn't dare to express his opinions casually in case of trouble.
Zhao Wang Sima Lun will be like this today, but he is just testing me to see if I am as good as the outside world says. Seeing that I was really difficult to deal with, he immediately changed his words to flatter me and called me "Weichen". In this regard, he is no different from Sima Liang, the king of Runan.
What makes him smarter than King Runan is that he knows how to use heavy gifts first, so that even if I am angry, I will try to meet his requirements for the sake of gifts. The king of Runan was greedy and stingy, and asked me to provide him with food and pay to help him feed his army. He is like this to me, the queen, and the other courtiers can be imagined. Such a person, once something happens, does not even sympathize with the rescuer, everyone only feels very happy, and they work together to beat the water dog.
Just sent off King Zhao, Sima Wei, the king of Chu, came again.
A brave and unscrupulous person like Sima Wei naturally doesn't know how to hide when he speaks, and as soon as he enters the door, he asks me anxiously, "What kind of official is Niangniang going to be the king of Zhao?"
I looked at him amusedly and said, "What a strange question the prince asks, what official can I make the king of Zhao?" On meritorious service, rewarding that is the emperor's business. Moreover, I heard that the emperor has been rewarded in the court today, it seems to be a general of the chariot and cavalry, and Mrs. Fu or something, hasn't the prince heard of it? ”
Sima Wei said, "Of course this brother knows, what the brother wants to ask is what Niangniang plans to make him an official." If the courtier's guess is correct, King Zhao entered the palace today to plead with Niang Niangdi for this matter, right? ”
I'm already getting a little impatient, and that's not how I asked for the insider.
Seeing that I was just bowing my head and drinking tea, and refused to answer his question, Sima Wei became more and more anxious, so he simply brought up the old matter, and said straight to the point, "Niangniang doesn't plan to give him Duzhishangshu, but my brother has begged Niangniang a long time ago." ”
I moved my sore waist and said, "The prince is thinking too much, and King Zhao just came in to visit me, because he heard that I was pregnant." I've been sitting for a day today, I'm a little tired, and now I want to go in and rest, so please go back. Sima Wei still wanted to be verbose, Xiaocui had already made a gesture to please, and Shan Wan helped me up and said, "I heard that the prince's house is very lively today, what is the happy event, the prince?" ”
Sima Wei paused for a moment and said, "No." ”
"No?" Shan Wan smiled and said, "But I just met Lord Liang outside, he said that he was going to the prince's mansion to eat and drink, and said that his sister Luzhu had already gone with Lord Shi first." As soon as he heard the word "green bead", Sima Wei immediately said goodbye, "Since the mother is tired, let's rest early, and the younger brother will not bother." ”
Seeing him hurrying away, looking eager, Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Wanwan, you are a trickster again, knowing that he is obsessed with green beads, you still coax him like that." When he goes back, he doesn't see the green beads, be careful that he will settle accounts with you tomorrow. ”
Shan Wan said, "Niangniang is tired, this uninteresting guy just refuses to leave, I just thought of this." Don't worry, for such a thing, Weichen bet that he was embarrassed to settle accounts with me. ”
The two of them laughed and helped me into the inner room, and just as I was on the edge of the bed, there was a loud announcement outside, "Mrs. Wei asks to see me!" ”
Xiao Cui frowned and said, "If you don't come sooner or later, you will come at this time." Niangniang, why don't you let me send her away, just say that Niangniang is asleep. Anyway, she has already entered the palace, and she will see her more days in the future. I got up again on the edge of the bed and said, "Forget it, I'll go out to see her." I forced her into the palace when she entered the palace, and I couldn't pull her in, so I left them there and ignored them. ”
The emperor has already ignored it, if I ignore it again, won't Wei Jin be depressed to death? She is a person who is used to playing outside, and now she is locked in the palace all day, and she doesn't know how her day is spent.
Alas, Wei Jin, after all, still fell victim to the political struggle. She had a chance to escape this fate. If she had been able to marry in time after losing the election as the imperial concubine, she would not have fallen to the point of entering the palace to live in the cold palace.
It is really embarrassing that such a beautiful woman has to be lonely for a lifetime.
