Chapter 294: The Problem
"Your Majesty, don't you know, this princess's mother looks up to my holy dynasty civilization, her daughter has been raised by a Han nurse since she was a child, not only beautiful, but also fluent in Chinese, can chant poetry and paint, and is also proficient in Tatar singing and dancing, she is really a rare and versatile woman."
Emperor Yongchang was a little hesitant, he and Mei Guifei had a very strong relationship, more than ten years later, the original love has been transformed into mutual affection, he was reluctant to Mei Guifei to be sad, but the old man reached this age, he already felt that life was passing rapidly, youth was about to be gone, they were eager to catch the tail of youth, hoping to revitalize the majesty, Dong Jincai's proposal was very much his heart.
Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Dong Jin knew that there was a door to this matter, and he pouted again: "The emperor's harem is empty, and it is long overdue to enter the newcomers. ”
"I still don't think it's appropriate."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with this? Just like Mei Guifei entered the palace, Miao Xinjiang immediately became our vassal country, more than ten years, the two countries have communicated with each other, the people coexist peacefully, and there has never been a prosperous scene in southern Xinjiang, only this one, the emperor has surpassed countless emperors before, becoming the emperor of the ages, if the northern Xinjiang can also follow suit, then the emperor's merits are unprecedented. ”
Emperor Yongchang Long Yan Dayue asked the little eunuch to immediately pass the decree and call Gao Tingfeng into the palace, after he finished the order, he suddenly remembered that he promised the two princes that he would go to the school to test their martial arts today, so he asked Dong Jincai to convey it on his behalf, and he got up and left in a hurry.
Dong Jincai slandered Emperor Yongchang in his heart: "Hmph, I want to be a bitch, and I want to set up a memorial arch, but when the time comes, others will beg him to accept beauties, as if he doesn't let the beautiful princess enter the palace, he will be sorry for the people of the world, I've seen shameless, I've never seen this." Because he conveyed it to Gao Tingfeng, he revealed that he was bewitching the emperor, Gao Tingfeng is a very stubborn person who admits death, neither supports Shen Mingzhao nor himself, and is a representative of a third-party force among the ministers of the court. Although their group is small in number, they can rise to prominence, which is inseparable from the emperor's support and their own tough attitude.
Gao Tingfeng hurriedly came to the upper study, but saw Dong Jincai standing inside, and wondered, Dong Jincai stepped forward to salute: "Lord Gao is invited." ”
"What about the emperor? Why are you here? ”
"The emperor has an urgent matter to leave, let the humble post tell the lord one thing."
"What's the matter?"
Dong Jincai considered the wording: "Since Concubine Mei Guifei entered the palace, the situation in Miaojiang has been calm, and the people in southern Xinjiang have benefited a lot, and here in northern Xinjiang, can you also follow suit?" For example, let the eldest princess of the Hulun tribe also come and kiss? ”
"This?" Gao Tingfeng was really a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it, he asked Dong Jincai: "What about the holy decree?" ”
"I haven't had time to write it yet, so let's see the attitude over there."
Gao Tingfeng left with a snort, the letter of state sent to northern Xinjiang to inform Huluner of the peace talks had just been sent away, and it came out like this, how could it be discussed? The emperor is in his forties, Huluner is only in his twenties, his sisters are married, and his sister must be still very young, and Huluner's maternal family is strong, if he provokes that side, let alone peace talks, it is possible to fight.
Qian Jun received the holy decree and knew that his plan to leave in two months would probably not be realized, and he felt very sorry for his wife and son. But he really couldn't let go of the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, so he apologized to Wen Jin with guilt.
"You are a man, you have your own pursuits and ideals, so that you can completely let go of the outside world, live in a small family affair like the prince, and become more and more narrow and selfish, I can't bear it, but, Shizi, do you understand the intentions of me and my children?"
"I understand, I will protect myself and our family."
"Well, if you can think about this promise before you do anything, I'll be satisfied."
The next day, Wen Jin explained this to Qian Qian, and Qian Qian was very worried: "If Daddy doesn't leave the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, there are some things that can't be escaped." ”
"Then, let's help him, okay?"
"How can you help?"
"Let your father talk to us about what he wants to do every day, you, I, help him come up with ideas, the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, do you think this is the truth?"
"Yes, mother."
When Wen Jin told her husband this request, Qian Jun raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she did not object, she came back every day to tell them a little about northern affairs, and sometimes talked about the progress of peace talks.
Qian Jun learned that Dong Jincai had bewitched the emperor and asked Hulun to sacrifice the princess and relatives.
"Dong Jincai is too shameless." Wen Jin sighed.
Qian Jun shook his head: "If he wants face, how can he come up with such a bad idea." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Stop, there's nothing to talk about, Huluner only has a little sister Wuyun Qige, fourteen years old this year, that's a real grassland flower, very beautiful, also smart and clever, is the pearl of his and his mother's palm, I can't hold it in my hand at all times, and I already have a marriage contract with the patriarch's son on his mother's side, and I must not send it to Beijing."
"But if you join forces with your uncle to suppress it, will it make the emperor unhappy? I see that in the emperor's palace in the past two years, he has continuously entered the beauty, and the concubine's side has also died, and all her efforts are used to teach the children, and she doesn't care about it, the emperor doesn't seem to have reached the level of mediocrity of the emperor, and he is very concerned about the education of the two princes, and he is obviously trained as a successor, and the concubine has such a guarantee, and probably won't care about the emperor, or, she knows that she can't manage the emperor at all, and the pressure on your side can be imagined. ”
"Yes, I can also see that the attitude of the concubine must have a lot to do with the emperor's different thoughts, no matter how difficult this matter is, I will not give up easily, I will never allow Dong Jincai to sabotage the peace talks."
Wen Jin could only comfort: "Don't come hard, you have to think more tactfully, for example, Wuyun Qige already has a marriage contract, we all pay attention to not breaking up people's marriages, and the emperor should be understandable, right?" ”
"Dong Jincai will definitely take advantage of this to make a big fuss, saying that there is no sincerity over there, this villain is eloquent, and he has a good way of turning the clouds and rain, which is much more difficult to deal with than Yao Guangyuan." Qian Jun frowned, probably afraid that Wen Jin would be worried, so he smiled again, "I will have a way." ”
"You tell us more about the Huluner family, and the three of us can discuss it, maybe we can find a gap and solve this problem easily." Wen Jin's words were not to comfort him, although she was not sure that she would be able to help, but first of all, she had an attitude, which could make Qian Jun feel at ease, feeling that there was a family in the same boat, he was not alone, he had something to rely on, and he was not guilty because he couldn't take his family away on time.
"yes, okay." Qian Jun's answer is also serious, after all, this time, it involves a woman's problem, with the help of his wife, maybe there will be fewer detours, men and women have very different ways of thinking, and the wife may be able to find a good way.
Gao Tingfeng's biggest characteristic is stubbornness, and the second characteristic is loyalty, he is now going all out to deal with Huluner's department, forcing people to send his daughter over, Hulun'er is already furious, but he doesn't dare to turn his face, lest he fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy, but if he talks about peace in a humiliating way, his face is disgraced, he has no prestige in front of his subordinates, and the peace he has won has lost its due meaning, he is in a dilemma, so he has to drag, hoping that there will be a turnaround.
Dong Jincai was happy, he said in front of the emperor: "Hulun'er has no sincerity at all, fooling our Heavenly Empire like this is simply to be killed." ”
Although Emperor Yongchang didn't say anything, he obviously showed an unhappy look, and Dong Jincai secretly rejoiced.
Things are at an impasse, Qian Jun has also become the most embarrassing person, he stole into the north the year before, helped Huluner defeat Maoton, became the idol of hundreds of people and courtiers, and also got Huluner's greatest trust, it was he who persuaded Huluner to negotiate peace with this side, but at the moment, although Huluner didn't say anything, but if he can think about it, he must have complained about Qian Jun.
Emperor Yongchang was also dissatisfied with Qian Jun, thinking that he had a good relationship with Huluner and had a great influence on that side, but now he refused to say a word for him.
Wen Jin saw that the man was becoming more and more silent, and he was also very anxious, on this day, after sending Jin Jin to the study, he and Qian Qian took Midnight to play in the garden: "Mother, this flower is so beautiful, cut it out for you to wear, okay?" ”
"No, this flower is too big, you see, it's bigger than my mother's face, and I wear it on my head, so others can only see the flowers, but I can't see my mother."
"Hahaha-" Qian Qian laughed, since he was sensible in his previous life, he lived in all kinds of suffering, what he saw every day was his mother's tears, and what he heard was her cry, how could he be in the mood to enjoy the flowers and scenery and enjoy life? Naturally, I didn't pay attention to what kind of flowers a woman should wear.
"Mother, will you get another flower?"
"Okay." Chunlan took a small pair of scissors, cut off a pink April chrysanthemum the size of a child's fist, trimmed the flower branches, and asked Qian Qian to help insert it into Wen Jin's sideburns.
"Wow, my mother is so beautiful, she is the most beautiful woman."
"My mother is old, where is the most beautiful, there are more beautiful girls than my mother." "No, no, my mother is the most beautiful." Xia Ye has not been as good as Chunlan, but she has become the big girl next to Wen Jin by virtue of her sweet mouth, and she complimented Wen Jin with a smile: "Although the princess is not the youngest, she is still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, even a young woman, and she is not as good-looking as you." ”
