Chapter 304: The Queen's Exhortation
In the evening, Ruizong thought about it for a day and still wandered, not to let the prince supervise the country, but to send Chen Jingheng to other places, so that he could not decide for a long time in his heart.
After all, Chen Jingheng is different from him, as the eldest son, he suffered so much when he was young, and he is also the prince he originally wanted. Now he wants to go to other places, just to make Chen Longji feel at ease, how can Ruizong be reluctant.
In the evening, when the chamberlain came in and asked about tonight's arrangements, Ruizong stood up and ordered to go to Empress Zheng's palace.
Empress Zheng was sitting in the room flipping through idle books to pass the time, when she suddenly heard a report from the eunuch that the emperor was staying in Qingning Palace tonight, and was busy asking the female official to collect the book and start preparing to take over.
By the time Ruizong arrived, the queen had already packed up and led people to kneel at the gate of Qingning Palace to pick up the car.
Seeing that Ruizong was busy leading a group of palace maids and eunuchs to get down: "The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed." β
Ruizong helped Empress Zheng up with his own hands, and then led her to the palace and sat on the couch: "We have been married for more than ten years, why be so restrained." β
The queen bowed slightly, and personally poured tea for the emperor: "This is the duty of a concubine, even if there are more than ten years, how to do it." β
Ruizong smiled when he heard this: "Since you first entered the palace, you have been the most sensible. β
Saying that, he pulled the queen to sit down and sighed: "It's also hard for you, I managed the inner courtyard of the palace for me, and now I have to manage the harem, but you are alone in many tedious things, which is really not easy." β
The queen looked at Ruizong's appearance and knew that he had something on his mind, so she couldn't help but ask tentatively: "What troubles did the emperor encounter?" β
I saw Ruizong nodded, but he didn't speak.
"If the emperor doesn't dislike the stupidity of the concubines, then talk to the concubines, although it can't help much, but at least the emperor can say it more comfortably." The queen's words were as soft as a clear spring, which made Ruizong feel very comfortable listening to it.
Then he spoke: "Today, the case of the six corpses of the king's house in the capital has been investigated. β
"Isn't that a good thing?" The queen is in the deep palace, so she naturally doesn't care about the case of the previous dynasty.
But he always knew that this incident made Ruizong very angry, and now that he heard that the case had been clarified, he couldn't help but be happy for Ruizong.
"It's good to look at, but it's not so good behind it." Ruizong let out a long sigh.
Hearing this, Queen Yan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Is there anything behind this? β
"That's not true, it's just that the crown prince Princess Taiping is more or less involved in it, and wants to implicate the Hua family. The Hua family is the foreign family of Princess Song, and now it is the only help for Bai Zhou, they want to drag the Hua family into the water, and their intention is very clear, this is to deal with Bai Zhou. Ruizong said with a hint of coldness on his face.
The queen frowned suddenly: "What does this matter have to do with Bai Zhou?" β
"There is no side relationship, just because Bai Zhou is the eldest son and grandson."
The queen didn't know what to say when she heard this, so she listened to Ruizong and continued: "In the past, I connived at Taiping, first, Taiping was my own sister, and second, I helped me many times. When the queen mother was in power, I can't forget the kindness of Taiping, so I also indulged her a lot. Unexpectedly, Taiping's pursuit of power now has the shadow of the queen mother, which makes me a little scared. β
The queen married Ruizong when she was still the prince, and naturally she also experienced that period of ascending the throne, abdication, and dormancy. also knows the kindness of Princess Taiping and Ruizong, and her current methods.
I didn't know what to say, so I could only listen quietly.
"The prince is an idea, he has his own opinions, and naturally he is unwilling to submit to Taiping's subordinates, so Taiping moved the idea of replacing the prince. It was this thought that made Bai Zhou have to get involved in this battle. Ruizong said that he was also very helpless in his heart.
"How's that to be?" Hearing that Bai Zhou was involved, the queen couldn't help but ask.
For Bai Zhou, the queen is still very concerned.
Ruizong sighed when he heard this: "Yao Chong, Song and Zhang Yue proposed today to let the crown prince supervise the country, and only if the prince supervises the country's East Palace to stabilize the country, will there be no chaos." He also proposed to let Taiping go to Luoyang, and asked Bai Zhou to go to other places to do assassination. β
"Why did you ask Bai Zhou to go to other places too?" The queen was stunned when she heard this.
"Bai Zhou is the eldest son, as long as he is in Beijing, he will remind the identity of the prince at any time. In terms of identity, the position of the prince is not stable, so for the sake of the stability of the society, he proposed to ask Bai Zhou to go to other places. Ruizong said and paused: "This matter, I have been thinking about it for a day today, and the three old ministers naturally have no selfish intentions for the country and the people, but I can't bear to ask Bai Zhou to leave Kyoto." β
The queen was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then ordered all the palace maids to retreat, and then she spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubines might as well follow what the three old ministers said, and let Bai Zhou go to other places." β
Ruizong was stunned when he heard this: "Why do you say that?" β
The reason why Ruizong said this to the queen was because the relationship between the queen and Queen Liu had always regarded Bai Zhou as her own, so she would never be biased with others, so she told her this.
The main reason is that he is selfish with Chen Jingheng, he doesn't want him to leave Beijing, and wants to find someone who can identify with him, but he didn't expect the queen to open his mouth like this.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
The queen looked at Ruizong's expression and said with a smile: "The emperor forgives the concubines for their courage, Bai Zhou, as the eldest son, will have an impact on the prince in Beijing, and it will also cause the prince to be jealous, so it will bring danger to Bai Zhou." Instead of being a prince who does nothing in Beijing, he also needs to be wary of the prince everywhere, and the concubines want him to go to other places, at least the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish can swim. You can cultivate your own power, and you can at least protect yourself without asking for others. Such a leisurely atmosphere is not much more comfortable than the days in the capital. And the emperor has ever thought about it, now that the emperor is here, the prince dares to do this to Bai Zhou, if he waits for the prince to ascend the throne one day, what will Bai Zhou do. When the time comes, the prince will definitely not let go of Bai Zhou, and when that time comes, he is afraid that Bai Zhou will be really dangerous. β
As soon as the queen's words fell, she saw Ruizong's expression change suddenly: "He dares!" β
The queen was also reckless: "There is nothing he dare not dare, if he doesn't dare, he won't plan a coup d'Γ©tat, if he doesn't dare, he won't sit on the throne of the crown prince now." If the emperor really feels sorry for Bai Zhou, he should make plans for his future, instead of thinking that Beijing is a prosperous place now, and Bai Zhou will be wronged when he goes to other places. If you consider that in the future, instead of staying in the capital now and being powerless to fight against the prince in the future, it is better to take advantage of the present and let Bai Zhou go directly to other places to cultivate his own power. When the crown prince ascends the throne one day, he will not be powerless. β
