Chapter 15: Grounded Water Pavilion (3)
"!" Mu Zhaoyi knelt on the ground with a bang, and said quickly: "It's not a secret, the old minister asked to see Niangniang today, it is indeed a matter of the previous dynasty, and I hope that Niangniang will help." ”
"What is this doing, the prime minister, please get up." He suddenly knelt down, which really startled me, and hurriedly instructed Grandpa Zeng to pick him up and help him to the seat, and said to him calmly: "I don't know what the adults want from this palace to help?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the old minister is here to increase troops in Guanzhong." Mu Zhaoyi said earnestly: "Niangniang must have heard about it. From the front and back Tang Zhuang Zongzhi in the west, the former dynasty Shu king wantonly wanted to go north, and the people and ministers in their respective dynasties were all on the sparse advice, but the two lords insisted on going their own way, and the results were in vain. This time, the emperor wants to take Guanzhong before increasing his troops, but according to what the old ministers can see, Wang Jingchong is still under the official title of Li Shouzhen in the river, how can he be bent on surrendering to Shu, Zhao Sijuan is like a murderer, and he is not a person who can be relied on. ”
I know the ins and outs of the two in my heart, and I also know that what he said is true, so I said tentatively: "According to what the prime minister said, the emperor's current plan to take the pass will fail?!" ”
"Yes, Niangniang, forgive the old minister. In the matter of increasing troops in Guanzhong, victory will cause great loss of national strength, and defeat will cause many events in the DPRK and China. If this is the case, the DPRK and the Central Committee will certainly have internal and external troubles, and the country and society will suddenly fall into turmoil. "Mother Zhao is eager to speak.
I opened the bead curtain and walked to him and said in a deep voice: "Then according to the prime minister's intentions, is it to the palace to advise the emperor?" ”
"The emperor has now been persuaded by An Siqian, Sun Hanshao and others, and is discussing the dispatch of troops in the imperial study. The old minister's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to implore the mother to help him and make sure that the emperor could take back his life. Mu Zhao said quickly.
"The emperor may not listen to the words of the palace, not to mention that it is also involved in the harem to interfere in politics......" I said this, not a prevarication, but I am not a little sure of Yu Baoyuan at the moment, and said again: "It involves military affairs, why don't you invite the queen mother?" ”
"The Queen Mother recently went to Zhaojue Temple to pray for blessings and did not return, and the current situation is urgent, once the emperor gives an order, it will be troublesome." Mu Zhaoyi hurriedly said: "Niangniang is now the head of the harem, and she has won the trust of the emperor, I believe that the emperor will listen to your words, so the old minister knelt down and asked Niangniang to admonish." And when he had spoken, he knelt down again and begged me.
I hurriedly stopped him from kneeling and said, "Prime Minister Rong Bengong thinks." ”
How would I like to see the soldiers of Dashu die in Guanzhong, and the people in Guanzhong suffer a military disaster.
Bao Yuan now insists on sending troops, listening to the meaning of his mother Zhao, if the army is defeated, there will be trouble in the DPRK and China, is it possible that Zhang Ye will rebel?
Suddenly thinking about last night's words of Bao Yuan, my heart was shocked, I only felt that my heart was beating badly, and now this situation seems to be getting more and more tricky.
"Okay, if it is for the sake of the family and the country, the palace will go to the imperial study with the adults to advise the emperor. It's just that in this matter, if the emperor has made up his mind in his heart, he may not listen to the words of this palace, and this palace can only do its best. After finishing his words and making some preparations, he took Ming'er to the imperial study.
When I arrived at the imperial study, I called Liang Shouzhen to pass it on to me.
After a while, he saw Xiao Liang talking back with a bitter face, and said, "The emperor said, Niang Niang waits first." During this time, he is discussing with the ministers the important affairs of the military aircraft. ”
I had expected that Bao Yuan would be like this, he has never been a person who does not distinguish between public and private, so he said Xiao Liang said: "You go to report to the emperor, and say that I have something important to tell you." ”
Xiao Liang looked at me in embarrassment, and went in again to pass the word. As I stood outside the temple, I was not sure that he would see me, so I stirred the Juanpa in my hand and walked back and forth in front of the temple, thinking in my heart how to persuade him for a while.
In April, the weather was not warm, and my palms were slightly sweaty.
"Niangniang, the emperor is invited." Liang Shouzhen opened the curtain and said to me.
I took a deep breath, took the bowl from Ming'er's hand, and walked into the hall with a composure.
Seeing me enter the hall, An Siqian, Sun Hanshao and others saluted and greeted him, and then wanted to withdraw from the hall, but Bao Yuan waved his hand to stop.
He frowned slightly and said to me, "Madame, what's the urgency to see me at this time?" ”
I stepped forward with a smile, presented the bowl in my hand to him, and said softly: "Yesterday, the concubine saw that the emperor was not resting well, so she specially cooked sweet soup." ”
There was a moment of tenderness on Bao Yuan's face, and he said solemnly: "This is what Madame said?" It's really nonsense, it's okay, I think you've worked hard, put things here first, and I'll eat them later. ”
"If the emperor doesn't drink now, the concubines won't leave, and taking care of the emperor's body is the most important thing in the world for the concubines." I said softly.
Bao Yuan glanced at An Siqian and Sun Hanshao, who were standing aside with their heads bowed and their hands down, and said helplessly: "Okay then." As he spoke, he took a sip, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly.
I knew he was going to be like this, and I looked at him with a smile.
"Madam, what kind of sweet soup did you give me to drink, it was as bitter as a yellow lotus."
"Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. Persuade you to pick more, this thing is the most lovesick. I smiled and said to him: "This is the sweet soup cooked by the concubine with red beans, but those couples and lovers who miss each other because of separation should be bitter in their hearts!" ”
"Madame, what are you here for?" Bao Yuan's face was cloudy.
I knelt down slowly and said to him, "The concubine came this time to increase the army. ”
"Do you know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?" Bao Yuan's voice sounded without a trace of temperature.
"This time is different from the past, the concubines are willing to take risks, and they have to vomit as soon as possible." I looked up at him and said word by word.
Seeing that the expression on his face was very different from usual, he only said with a cold face: "Oh? Then I would like to hear what Madame thinks. ”
"Your Majesty, you can hear the map of Zhuang Zong's west, and the front is heading north, and it is in vain."
"My mother has mentioned this matter many times, but I don't know the timing. If Madame has nothing to say, go back first. Bao Yuan waved his hand, impatient.
When I heard this, I raised my head and got up, slowly walked to the front of the imperial case, and said slowly: "Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream." Your Majesty, if you are not fully sure of hastily increasing troops, it will be a disaster for my people and soldiers in Dashu......"
His face was pale and there was no trace of blood, he was stunned, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, he looked back at the map of the soldiers on the table, and said decisively: "I have made up my mind, don't discuss it again." ”
"Please think twice, the soldiers have words, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!" I still insisted on holding my voice.
"How can Mrs. Hua Rui grow the ambition of others and destroy my prestige in Dashu!" The voice of Zhang Ye, the Chinese scholar, suddenly sounded behind him, and Bao Yuan and I were shocked.
Zhang Ye entered without transmission, and stood in the hall with an awe-inspiring expression, Bao Yuanyin was displeased, and called with a smile: "Show the prime minister a seat." ”
I never thought that there would be such a situation as we are now.
"I'm afraid that once this matter fails, the DPRK and China will have many troubles, and the DPRK and China will have many events!" The words of the mother Zhao in my temple are noisy and noisy and swirling in my head.
