Chapter 8, Section 10 The Lotus Seed Soup Incident
After Sima said goodbye and left, I asked the emperor, "What are you going to do?" Did you really set him up as a concubine? ”
The emperor also hesitated. This thing, it's really tricky. If you don't change it, you're too unhappy. If you change your position, you will not only completely lose the power represented by Wei, but you will also immediately change from a hardcore person to the most dangerous enemy.
It can be seen from this incident that he is not a person with great ambitions, and he does not even have a long-term vision.
It's the same as when he indulges himself in pig farming, not caring if it will damage his image. In the choice of concubines, he only relied on his personal feelings, and put his personal preferences in an overriding position.
As for whether this would cause his subordinates to deviate from morality and endanger his throne, he did not consider. Or, he didn't bother to think so far at all, anyway, there was wine today and drunk today, and he would talk about it when he was happy today.
In terms of the personal qualities required to be an emperor, Sima was unqualified. How can such a person manage a country based on personal preferences, without considering the feelings of others and without regard for the overall situation? It's really in vain that the emperor valued him like the emperor and lifted him up. It can only be said that the first emperor also looked away.
However, this is a good thing for the emperor. It is too unproductive, and the ministers have nothing else to think about - just like Wei, if he leaves the "Tai Party", he has to return to the arms of the "Emperor Party" - and will naturally support the emperor even more. It's an either/or option.
And what we were worried about was that the "Tai Party" was too strong and would threaten the emperor's throne, but now it was suddenly solved.
Unexpectedly, without the slightest effort on my part, the "Tai Party" will collapse itself. Fastest update.
This made me feel relieved for a while, like a big rock had fallen.
Whether Sima will set up a strong opponent for himself because of this is his business. The Wei will not be embarrassed by this, and it will not have anything to do with me. All I care about is the stability of the throne and the safety of our family.
So I smiled and said to the emperor, "Since you are so insistent, let's change it for him." Force him to marry someone he doesn't like. I can't bear it either
The emperor frowned and said, "In this way, how can I explain to Old Man Wei?" He will feel that we are teasing him and insulting him. He will hate our Sima family to death. Especially hate the child. If you do this to your own Taibao, other courtiers will also be cold. If there is no one for him in the future, how can I abdicate and go into hiding? ”
I know that the emperor has a point, but I really don't want to see Wei and them rely on too much to confront the emperor, and I am even more afraid that there will be too much Wei. Once full-fledged, it will threaten the emperor's throne. Now, I have a basic understanding of living in seclusion in Peach Blossom Mountain, but I am afraid that it will become a dream for me and the emperor, a dream that cannot be realized.
Therefore, I decided to change the concubine, and put forward a very good reason, "I lost the Wei family too much, but doesn't he still have Sima Wei?" The emperor has just appointed Sima Wei as his wife. After a few days of the edict to be re-established, the emperor transferred Wei out of the East Palace, and Sima Wei was asked to fill the position of Taibao. Such. Isn't the distribution of imperial power back in equilibrium? Later, one of the two powerful ministers served the emperor. An assistant too. Since each of them is his own master, it is impossible for them to collude with each other. Jointly control the government. This thing. It's a bit of a hassle, but think about it. Actually, it's a good thing. The emperor should stop frowning. ”
The emperor still said with a little hesitation: "It is said that the king has no jokes, and I sent the edict to the daughter of the Wei family." Now that it has been re-established, I am afraid that the people of the world will laugh at it, saying that our royal family is so unassertive to even marry a daughter-in-law, this and that for a while, what do you think of other people's girls? Doesn't this ruin the reputation of other girls? ”
I don't agree with that, "Where is the corruption?" In the past, Wei Jin was well-known in the capital because she was a failed concubine, and everyone admired her. Our people in Dajin are like this, as long as a woman has been chosen by the royal family, even if she loses in the end, everyone will still flock to her, thinking that she must be extraordinary. ”
The emperor was surprised and asked, "How can this be?" Doesn't it mean that if a girl is dismissed by her in-laws, it will be difficult to marry again in the future? ”
It turned out that he was worried about this, so I can assure him" that refers to the inappropriate behavior of a folk woman who was divorced by her in-laws. How grand is the royal selection of concubines, and it is already the top of the people to be eligible to participate in the primary election, not to mention that it has become one of the final candidates, and was even canonized as a concubine for a time? Even Zuo Ying, who has been your lover for four years, went out later, and got married within three months, and the marriage is still a very good family. "How can the emperor go back on his word? You don't have any jokes. He is still entangled in the sentence "You have no jokes".
I sighed and began to play a poor mouth, "As for saying that the king has no jokes, I don't think this should be understood as saying that what the emperor says must be fulfilled, and if you want to be the emperor like that, you must not die of exhaustion?" What do you think, how many words should the emperor say in a day, there is no joke in every word, and everyone has to honor it, so that the emperor will not be allowed to live. ”
The emperor was happy, a pair of Danfeng eyes squinted at me and said, "Then Aiqing understands that the monarch has no jokes, how can he say it?" ”
"Aiqing? Hehe, I love to listen, shout a few more times. "Someone took the opportunity to be coquettish.
It will be tiring to always talk about the major affairs of the court, so you should add some condiments appropriately.
"Aiqing, Aiqing, Aiqing......"
The two put aside the topic and began to flirt, ¥
At that time, Xiao Cui and Shan Wan brought two cups of rock sugar lotus soup and were about to push the door in. As soon as the door opened a small crack, the two of them were pushed back by a shockwave called "Aiqing".
Due to the fierce firepower, Xiao Cui retreated too quickly and stepped on Shanwan's jade feet. Note: Why is it that only Shanwan is the jade foot and Xiaocui is the foot? Without him, Xiaocui is so bandit, how dare he be the word "jade foot"?
Shan Wan ached, "Ouch." As soon as the hand was released, "bang", the lotus rolled on the ground.
The emperor and I were abruptly separated, and we straightened our clothes in a panic before we asked majestically towards the door, "What was the sound just now?" ”
"Yu Niangniang, it was Aiqing who fell on the emperor just now. Oh no, damn it, slave and maid, it's wrong, it's the lotus soup that fell to the ground. ”
The emperor and I smiled at each other's acquaintances, and then continued to ask in a majestic and concerned voice, "That didn't scratch anything, did it?" ”
"No, I don't. The clothes of the slaves and maids are all dressed tightly, and there is no tactful inheritance, and the jade body is horizontal, how can it be scratched? ”
"It's good that it's not scratched."
Dead girl, don't fall into my hands.
Looking back, the emperor was covering his mouth stiffly, and his shoulders were shaking violently.
