Chapter 52 Listening to politics and causing turmoil
The news of Qi Xuan's suicide and burial soon spread throughout the capital, in the face of such a "Zhenlie" woman, the literati and were praised, she entered the palace as a slave for many years, lost half of her life to save the emperor and was named a concubine, jumped into the dragon gate, and finally chose to accompany Emperor Jiahe in this way, her life was portrayed by later generations more and more legendary, poignant, obviously glory and wealth are only one step away, but she gave up these to follow the first emperor, how much courage should it take...... That's what the world thinks.
When Bo Yan heard this, he was drafting the holy decree of posthumously sealing Qi Xuan as Empress Zhenjing with Zhao Xueyan, Zhao Xueyan insisted that this holy decree should be written by him personally, his immature hands held the brush tightly, writing stroke by stroke, his brows twisted into a pimple, and he had never been serious.
Bo Yan looked at Zhao Xueyan's side face without words, his decision was correct, although Zhao Xueyan didn't say it, but in his heart, Qi Xuan was always a special existence, although Zhao Xueyan didn't shed a single tear after hearing that Qi Xuan died, but this child couldn't let go of her nurturing grace after all, and now that she has posthumously sealed the position of Queen Qi Xuan, maybe Zhao Xueyan will no longer be sad?
Covered with a jade seal on the holy decree, Zhao Xueyan looked at the holy decree and was silent for a long time, staring at the four words "Queen Zhenjing" for a long time, smiled violently, and shook his head miserably: "Queen Zhenjing, hehe, it's really ironic, such a queen led her troops into the hall within half an hour of her father's death in a vain attempt to rebel, but now, can she go down in history and be martyred?" Oh, that's a nice thing to say. ”
Bo Rouge was silent.
"Queen Mother, do you say, are all the rumors in this world not believed? Is it all behind the scenes? Zhao Xueyan raised his head and asked.
Bo Yan smiled: "Rumors cannot be believed to be true, you must always pay attention to seeing is believing, but the most important thing is not the rumor itself, but your role in this rumor." ”
Zhao Xue was puzzled, straightened her waist and became interested.
Bo Yan said: "For example, this incident, the truth that the people see is the truth that you and I want the people to see, which is divided into three kinds of people, layout, insiders and theaters, you and I are the layout people, and the Yan family and Xuan Guifei are insiders." ”
"The people are the ones who watch the play." Zhao Xue said.
Bo Yan smiled and nodded: "Every time there is a big event, everyone sees the surface, the layout of people is for their own purposes, the people in the bureau are difficult to speak or are willing to be used, if you don't want to be like everyone, then you can only sit in a position that is enough to be in power, at least let yourself be in the bureau, use your own head to think about things, and not be stupid to be used." ”
Zhao Xueyan digested Bo Yan's words and seemed to have an understanding: "This is the reason why everyone wants to be the emperor?" ”
Bo Yan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "Yes and no, the emperor can indeed be said to be the one who controls the overall situation, but people are obsessed with the throne, more because he is in charge of life and death." ”
"It's so fun to hold someone else's life and death in your hands?" Zhao Xue was puzzled.
Bo Yan smiled: "You are now the emperor of Zhao State, do you know that your words are enough to shake Kyushu?" ”
Zhao Xueyan's eyes widened.
Bo Yan smiled and rubbed Zhao Xueyan's head: "If you want to become a Ming Jun, you still have a lot to learn." ”
Zhao Xueyan lowered her head: "Queen Mother, I'm a little scared, it's too difficult to be a Mingjun, in case I make any incorrect decisions, I can't bear the consequences." ”
"This palace and the Bo family will always be behind you, you don't have to be afraid."
Zhao Xueyan's face was still clouded, for the first time, he realized that the responsibility and burden on his body were so heavy.
Bo Yan looked at Zhao Xueyan's appearance and didn't enlighten anything, although these facts are cold and cruel, but Zhao Xueyan has succeeded to the throne, he knew earlier that these are beneficial and harmless to him, he is a child, but he is also the emperor of a country.
Thinking of this, Bo Yan couldn't help but think, although Zhao Xueyan's bloodline is pure, and it is natural to succeed to the throne, but whether it is right or wrong to push such a child to this supreme position, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he has never seen anything outside the palace, what people are suffering or displaced, he has not felt it, how can he put himself in the shoes of the people, for the monarch, what he is worried about should not be the battle between the court and the middle of the court or the throne is not guaranteed, the people should be the top priority, he hopes that Zhao Xueyan will be a Ming Jun, And not just an emperor.
Of course, Bo Yan himself doesn't know whether his idea is correct or not, and the premise of teaching Zhao Xueyan how to be a Ming Jun is to keep his throne now......
Bo Yan has been very busy in recent days, Emperor Jiahe has passed away, there are a lot of things to deal with in the palace, not to mention the layout everywhere, just every day with the palace concubines and concubines Dao Jiahe Emperor before the ranking of the crying spirit is not to consume physical strength, the so-called crying spirit is to express the reluctance to the death of Emperor Jiahe, although they are all fake crying, but at least to put the attitude out, several of the daughters of Emperor Jiahe who are married far away have come back to mourn, ranging in age from thirty to fifty years old, anyway, each one is older than Bo Yan, they have left the capital for many years, I don't have any feelings for this father, I left after a little walk, Bo Yan cried during the day, and he was busy settling these princesses at night, and by the way, he paid attention to the big and small things in the palace, and a person was eager to divide it into several uses, and he wanted to find time to meet Jin'an Now it has become a luxury, and the already thin body is a little thinner, but fortunately he is young, and his face is not thin, but the eyes are getting bigger and bigger.
But even if he is so busy, there is one thing that Bo Yan must be extra attentive to, three days later, it was Zhao Xueyan who went to the court for the first time as the prince, Bo Yan changed into court clothes early and took Zhao Xueyan's hand and came to the Qinzheng Palace step by step.
Today, all the officials are there, respectfully greeting the two of them.
Zhao Xueyan sat on the dragon chair, although he was still a little nervous, but it seemed that he had already looked much better, Bo Yan looked around, his eyes fell on Yan Qishao's head, the entire court, he was the one who needed to pay attention to the most.
A few words of routine greetings, the next courtier reported the preparations for the enthronement ceremony, and the ceremony can be held in about a month, and Qin Tianjian also looked at the day, which is an auspicious day.
Zhao Xueyan listened carefully, and said some official words while preparing to retreat from the court, but at this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites received the eyes of Master Yan, nodded and stood up.
"The old minister has something to say." The Ministry of Rites is still in the book.
Zhao Xueyan followed the prestige.
"The old minister wants to ask, from now on, when the emperor goes to court, will it be difficult for the queen mother to follow?" The Ministry of Rites is still in the book.
As soon as these words came out, the next officials were all silent, Yan Qishao raised his eyebrows, and slowly raised his head to look at the thin of the upper head.
Bo Rouge fiddled with his nails, not paying much attention: "What? Do you have an opinion on the Ministry of Rites? ”
The Ministry of Rites straightened his back: "The minister has objections!" ”
Zhao Xueyan looked at the two of them in a daze, but did not speak.
The Ministry of Rites continued: "The first emperor has left an edict to order the Bo family to assist in the government, and the queen mother has no basis for listening to the government, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
The Yan family's henchmen even claimed to be in agreement: "That's right, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!" ”
Zhao Xueyan was a little anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly explained: "I asked the queen mother to accompany me." ”
Master Yan smiled slightly, and stepped forward: "The emperor is wrong, the emperor is the emperor, the true son of heaven, the king of a country, is it possible to be a milk doll who can't do without his mother, if he relies on the queen mother so much, won't he become the laughing stock of the world!" ”
Zhao Xueyan's face turned red and lowered her head slightly.
"Lord Yan's words are excessive!" Bo Zhongqing stepped forward and reprimanded.
Master Yan smiled and arched his hand: "Weichen is just thinking about the emperor, I'm afraid the words are inappropriate, and I hope that the emperor will take care of it, Prime Minister Bo...... Oh, no, it's time to hand over the princess of the country, I know that the queen mother is from the Bo family, and it is understandable that you are eager to protect your daughter, but you must always follow the legal system, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, can you forget? The Protector has always been loyal, and I believe that it will not change because of the death of the first emperor. ”
Bo Zhongqing was pressed by the word etiquette, and couldn't help but take a step back, even if there were thousands of reasons, the word "avoid suspicion" swallowed back all these reasons, if he insisted on keeping Bo Rouge and listening to the government, even if he was a reasoned party, I am afraid that he would be deducted from the reputation of "protecting the short".
Bo Yan looked at the back and forth of the next head coldly, and his heart was extremely disgusted, he also wanted to take advantage of this time to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while, to know that he knelt in front of Emperor Jiahe's tablet with the harem concubines last night, and now he has a headache to death, but if he doesn't come, what should Zhao Xueyan do, these henchmen of the Yan family still don't eat him alive, his father is too decent, there was Emperor Jiahe who deliberately protected others and didn't dare to do anything to him, and now Emperor Jiahe has passed away, Even if my father has the identity of a protector, I am afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the malicious smear of the Yan family, just like now, as long as the Yan family puts on a courtesy basis, Bo Zhongqing will not refute, heh, don't come yourself? How could I not come?
"Lord Yan and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu understand that the palace understands that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the emperor is young after all, so what's wrong with being a mother and assisting from the side? Besides, the situation is special now, this palace is the queen mother, everything is based on the emperor, and it is really not considered to be a politician, to say that the emperor is young, and the queen mother's assistant to the government is not without precedent in the previous dynasty, and it can even be said that it is everywhere. ”
Master Yan just smiled and arched his hand, turned his head to look at Yan Qishao, Yan Qishao was silent for a moment, and stepped forward: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, but there is one point, although there is a precedent in the previous dynasty, but the Queen Mother who listens to the government is not a person who is over half a hundred years old, and she used to accompany the emperor and also heard some government affairs, and the Queen Mother, you ......."
At this point, it is to question Bo Yan's ability, but it is also said that Bo Yan has achieved the position of the queen mother at the age of sixteen, and it is just a matter of what his name is, what about his qualifications...... If she doesn't have the ability to be convincing, why should she listen to politics? Is this really the talent? Or is it just to accompany the little emperor to give him courage, if it is the latter, then it is really as Master Yan said, smiling and generous......
