164 Exit from the center of power
"The emperor wants to give me military power?" Min'er couldn't imagine that Xiang Ye would make such a decision.
There has never been an emperor who will really put the military power in the hands of the harem women, and the harem women of all dynasties, if they are contaminated with military power, they are all not the emperor is no longer there, or they are enemies with the emperor.
Xiang Ye dropped the book sent by Song Yuan, walked to Min'er and said: "You have nothing but me, and the so-called Prime Minister's Mansion will soon become a sword that will be forced against you, and I will make all plans." To be an emperor is to sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you must not relax for a moment, if one day I encounter an accident, Shen Zhe alone cannot turn the tide, there must be more and more powerful forces to support you. Otherwise, you are in a vulnerable position, and you will live a very hard life. ”
Min'er looked solemn, not coquettish, not joking: "Why did the emperor encounter an accident, the emperor said that he would protect me for the rest of his life." ”
Xiang Ye shook his head with a smile: "If the promise can be fulfilled, it will be a blessing for you and me, but if it can't be realized, people have to live realistically." In case of one day, don't panic, look for forces that can support you, protect this home for me, and protect yourself. ”
Min'er turned her back, afraid that she would cry sadly when she looked at the emperor's heavy but smiling face, although she was prepared for danger in times of peace, but the things described in her words were too realistic. And the collapse of imperial power is often in an instant, although it took Xiang Ye seven years to walk to the capital, but before the moment he stepped into the Xuanzheng Hall with his sword, the people of the Zhao Dynasty must have imagined that they could turn things around, and the real demise was the moment when the blood-stained Xuanzheng Palace.
"Min'er, did I scare you?" Xiang Ye saved her from the back and joked, "It turns out that you are also afraid, I thought you were not afraid of heaven and earth." ”
"Do I have something to fear, and the emperor will scare me every day in the future?" Min'er shook her head and said, "I don't want to have that day, I read these books, and it's not to rule the world, I'd rather not read them." ”
Xiang Ye smiled: "If you don't lend it to me, there are a few books here, and I haven't read them." It seems that it is time to go to the Song Mansion, and Song Yuan must have a lot of good books hidden in his house. ”
Min'er glanced at the table: "If you don't borrow it, if you want to see it, just sit here and watch." ”
Xiang Ye exhaled hot breath in her neck: "But I just want to see you here, where can I read a book?" ”
Min'er turned around and muttered, "Don't borrow it anyway", but she settled down and said bravely: "It's good to be together, one day the emperor will face it alone, or when I face it alone, we must all be brave to continue to live, the emperor is afraid that something will happen to him, why don't I worry about myself, that's it." ”
Xiang Ye nodded, picked up Min'er's cheek and kissed it: "Okay, then don't mention it again, I believe it will never happen." ”
"Hmm." Min'er's mood finally improved, her slender jade fingers crossed the emperor's clothes, and whispered softly, "Seeing that my younger brother is going to be a father today, is the emperor happy or envious?" The Queen Mother's expression has changed when she sees me, to be honest, I'm not in a hurry at all, please don't worry about the emperor, just follow the fate. ”
Xiang Ye picked her up and smiled disdainfully: "I have you, what else is there to envy, they should envy me." As for children, I don't force it, if it can make you physically strong, we don't want children for the rest of our lives. ”
Qingya came with tea, and saw that the emperor was holding the mother and went inside, so he was busy and retreated, although he heard half a sentence saying that he didn't want children to be done, but they couldn't be separated day and night, and the children would definitely come sooner or later. She withdrew with tea, and when she saw Zhou Huai outside, she said, "Do you want tea?" ”
Zhou Huai sneered: "What nonsense, this is the tea that the emperor drinks." ”
Qingya said: "That's also a waste, if you don't drink it, forget it." ”
Zhou Huai sighed: "Who cares about a sip of tea." ”
When Qingya heard his tone, she asked, "What's the matter, sigh, isn't everything fine?" ”
Zhou Huai shook his head: "You didn't notice it in the inner palace, I walked between the Qingming Pavilion of the Xuanzheng Hall every day, I saw and heard a lot, the power in General Shen's hands was being weakened by the emperor a little bit, and today is such a happy event, the emperor took General Shen to the Qingming Pavilion, but he asked him to allocate 200,000 troops, which will be reorganized by the emperor." ”
Qingya held the tea in her hand, looked around, and saw that no one was on the side, so she dared to continue to ask: "What does this mean, this time, how many people are left under General Shen?" ”
Zhou Huai said: "I shouldn't have said these things to you, you'd better not tell Niangniang, it's just that you and my lives were saved by General Shen, and I have to worry about repaying him in this life, so I'm worried." If the general hands over the 200,000 troops, there is almost nothing left in his hands, and he doesn't know where the emperor will organize these 200,000 people. If it's peaceful today and there is no war, how can a person like me guess it thoroughly. ”
Qingya thought about it calmly and asked Zhou Huai: "You didn't talk too much in front of the emperor, did you?" ”
Zhou Huai shook his head: "I dare?" ”
Qingya said: "This is not something you and I should interfere in, if the emperor wants to say it to Niangniang, he will naturally say it himself." Zhou Huai, even if you treat me in the future, you have to keep your mouth shut, if you accompany the king like a tiger, if the emperor finds out that you care about General Shen so much in your heart, your fate can be imagined. It's not me who provokes the relationship between you and the emperor, if you are loyal, the emperor will treat you with sincerity, but if you are not loyal......"
Zhou Huai looked at Qingya worriedly: "I'm not disloyal, I'm willing to go to the emperor's sword mountain and fire in the sea, but what about General Shen?" ”
Qingya shook her head and said: "Brothers for more than 20 years, there must be a tacit understanding between them, and we each do our part well, which is the greatest help to the general." ”
Zhou Huai bowed: "I listen to you, I can only think so, but my heart is too uncomfortable." You wait and see, there was no movement before, but as soon as the 200,000 army moved, the court should be lively. ”
The night is getting deeper, the lights in the general's mansion are gradually extinguished, Shen Zhe returned to the bedroom from the study, Yunshang has fallen asleep, the autumn cold has arrived, but she is afraid of heat in summer, only wraps the quilt around her waist, and her legs and feet are exposed, like a child. I heard that the daughters of aristocratic families have been strictly taught to sleep since they were children, but Shen Zhe prefers a natural and simple person like Yunshang. In fact, Yunshang and Min'er have many similarities, but they are completely independent, and Shen Zhe can't see Yunshang as a replacement for Min'er.
"Xianggong ......" Just as Shen Zhe was pulling the quilt for her, Yunshang woke up and smiled lazily, "Have you finished handling the court affairs?" What time is it? ”
"It's almost time." Shen Zhe covered her with a quilt and said, "I heard that if you have a big belly, you will have difficulty moving, will you sleep like this when you are ready?" ”
"You're not like this when you're not with me, and when you're by my side, I'm not honest?" Yunshang pulled her husband to lie down beside her, complaining, "What's the matter, why are you busy so late." ”
Shen Zhe lay down and said with a solemn expression: "There is something very important, I could have dealt with it in a chic manner, but now you are pregnant." ”
Yunshang suddenly sobered up, sat up even more, looked at her husband and asked, "Am I holding back?" ”
Shen Zhe shook his head again and again: "That's not what I mean, it's because I can't give up on you." ”
These words sound sweet in my heart, but now is not the time to be sweet, in the final analysis, it is still for the emperor, right, and what does the emperor want her husband to do?
"Yunshang, I'm leaving the capital, but your current body, can you go with me?" Shen Zhe asked.
"Yes, why not, you see that I am not uncomfortable at all." Yunshang grabbed Shen Zhe's arm, "I will go with you at the ends of the earth." ”
Shen Zhe touched her cheek and smiled comfortably: "Then I'll rest assured, tomorrow and tomorrow, you will wait for my news at home, no matter where you are going, I will take you away." ”
Yunshang knelt on his chest and said firmly: "Even if you are nothing one day, and you can't even support yourself, even if you take you back to my mother's house to eat, I will stand in front of you and prevent my parents from looking down on you." ”
Shen Zhe couldn't cry or laugh, and his heavy mood dissipated for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm not so down, ...... you" But with a smile and a smile, the expression on his face became heavy, and the eyes of a person who has always been gentle showed a sharp light.
Tomorrow, in the future, what will happen is difficult to predict. But the fifteen-year-old boy followed his brother on this road without hesitation, and no matter how many bumps and thorns there were, he would follow him down. As long as that person still believes in him.
A peaceful night was spent, the next day was not dawn, the courtiers were walking on the road to the court, the quiet streets were rolling wheels, horses' hooves were bursting, everything was in order, who would have thought that today would be a new beginning, for the old dynasty forces, and the future national fortunes of the Great Qi, the emperor was going to officially cut the first knife.
Min'er sent the emperor to the court, put on a crown for him with his own hands, took a few steps back and looked at it again, and said with satisfaction: "Heroic and extraordinary, I wish the emperor all the best today." ”
Xiang Ye smiled without saying a word, and walked away in stride.
Min'er didn't expect that she rested for a while after that, and then got up to comb her hair and makeup, and before her hair was tied up, amazing news came out from the Xuanzheng Palace. General Shen voluntarily handed over the power of his troops and wanted to leave the capital and go to Qiangshui Pass to lead troops to garrison.
Shen Zhe is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, he is gentle, and he holds the heaviest military power in Daqi, but now, he wants to hand over everything and withdraw from the center of power.
Min'er's expression was solemn, the comb in her hand was also put down, Qingya stood aside and said: "Niangniang, when the slave maid heard Zhou Huai say last night, it was still an army of 200,000, why did it pass overnight and become all?" ”
"Then go to Qiangshui Pass, is it the emperor's intention?" Min'er frowned, the emperor was so happy last night, she didn't see anything.
