102. I am the emperor anyway
"Pengcheng is in the land of Guanzhong, Xiangcheng is under Changzhou, and a small half of the Central Plains is in our hands. Now that the enemy is outside Xiangcheng, he can't commit Changzhou, and he can't commit Jingshi. Liang Rui insisted on his thoughts.
She poured boiling water into the teapot and closed the lid: "I want to relieve my worries as soon as possible, and I want to bring this world under unification." ”
Liang Rui saw her leisurely demeanor, and stopped talking in a muffled voice.
"Since I have placed the burden of the Northern Expedition on your shoulders, I naturally want you to finish your sentence. As the saying goes, the morale of the army is unstable and the morale is greatly reduced. You are their commander-in-chief, and your every move affects them. What is the reason for returning to Beijing with Qi Yunzhang this time? She poured two cups of tea and placed one in front of him.
Liang Rui saw that she had this question, but he didn't say anything.
"Let me speak for you, you want to come back and persuade me to give up the northern expedition. You don't want to see war, but why do I want to see it? Famine internal and external worries, don't you want to help me at this time? In the past, you were the commander of the Imperial Guards personally selected by me, and now you are the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition. She made the stakes clear to Liang Rui.
"Now the hungry people can't have enough to eat, and they still hope to have the strength to fight." Liang Rui bumped into her.
"The treasury has no money and food, so I distribute the food and wages to the rich households. In recent years, the domestic mining market has long been saturated, and the north is the world that both the emperor and the business want to get. Qi Yunzhang's method is to reach such an agreement with the rich family, and the heavy troops of the imperial court can recover the lost territory, so that they can have a mining market. If this battle is not fought, everyone will die. She told the truth like Liang Rui.
Liang Rui is stubborn, but he also understands the stakes: "In this way, Lord Qi also put a trap on the emperor, and he had to do it." ”
"It's not just Qi Yunzhang, the world is the big trap that traps me." She sighed with emotion as she took a sip of tea.
"The minister just came back to see, what he was worried about, the emperor is still clear." Liang Rui held the teacup and said what he was thinking.
She couldn't express the short-term love in her heart: "You have some worries in your heart, and I am also natural." ”
Liang Rui received such a response from her, and his cold and dull expression when he came in before eased a lot, and he put the empty teacup in front of her and asked her to pour him another cup.
"You must no longer have any objections to the Northern Expedition, this matter is not for me to do, but for the people of the world to do. Someone must feed the famine, and those who feed must receive some profit. No matter how high I am, I can't change the distance between the rich and the poor in the world. No one is born unearned. The name of the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition is on you, and you are the blade of my recovery of the Northland. She simply made the trade-off of interests clear to Liang Rui.
Liang Rui sighed and said: "As long as the emperor is not the one who is driven by interests and the one who is driven." ”
She couldn't answer him, so she had to lift the teapot and pour her a cup of tea.
Liang Rui walked side by side with her, and walked slowly on the paths on both sides of the green bamboo out of the Xuan Tea Pavilion: "In the past, you were the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, but now the position of the commander is still reserved for you, and the deputy commander Cheng Tianshu temporarily guards the inner palace on your behalf." I'll keep this spot waiting for you to come back. For the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion and for me to hand over this great mountain and river to the prince intact, there are some things I dare to think. I also have the queen, she is my queen, and I naturally want to settle her down. ”
In order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, and because women are already shy, she naturally does not know her intentions.
Liang Rui thought about it, so he said: "The minister regards it as a promise from the emperor to the minister, and I hope that the emperor will fulfill his promise to the minister when the flowers bloom and the moon shines." ”
"This..."She didn't want to be held by Liang Rui.
"Your Majesty, just send it here, the minister is in a hurry to leave the palace and go home to see his mother." Out of the gate of Mingde Palace, Liang Rui asked to leave.
She finally told him: "Okay, I will be sent here, and the road ahead will fall on you." ”
Liang Rui flicked his cloak and walked away, blurring her vision when he descended the stone steps. At this moment, her heart softened, and her nose was a little sour.
At this moment, she knew that she was so concerned about Liang Rui's feelings, but could she tell whether she wanted the country or her lover?
Everything put her in a dilemma after the war in Changzhou began, Liang Rui served in the forbidden army, and the more the Liang family was favored, the more right and wrong there were after all. Many people are not convinced that Liang Jingguan is the prime minister, his only son is favored and has little real ability.
She thinks that the place where a manly husband shows himself is to cross the horse to defend the country and help the king calm the world, and then no amount of rumors will be automatically shattered.
In the past, she could be willful, but now she understands the responsibility on her shoulders, and naturally knows that she must do it once and for all.
She followed the rule of only going to the imperial study once a day, and quietly delegated the power to watch the recitals and distinguish priorities to the eight permanent attendants who had just taken office.
"How? What is there to tell me today? She asked as soon as she entered the door of the study.
"The ministers have seen the emperor." The eight of them were busy, and as soon as they saw her come in, they all stopped what they were doing and came to salute.
"Get up, I come to the Imperial Study once a day, as usual. National affairs are conveyed to me through your mouths, and there are so many twists and turns, but don't miss any important things. She told everyone present.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that we will take care of the matter of the performance?" Shao Qinxuan asked.
She looked at everyone present, and asked with a smile: "The officials of the inner palace are directly listening to the heavens, and in the past, they were all held by the children of high-ranking families, which would cause autocracy. I asked you to take the position, and I didn't give you a real position, but what you hold in your hands is the top secret of the Ning Mansion. If I give you power, I will become the emperor in the harem? ”
"The ministers don't dare to be so rebellious." Those present were terrified.
"I have put in your hands the power to prioritize and prioritize things, so that you do not miss out on big and small matters, and report them in a categorical manner. Behind you is the rulership of a hundred officials and the peaceful life of the people of the whole country. Not to be underestimated. She said what she meant.
"Wait for me." Eight people hurriedly saluted.
"Don't be so nervous, they all say that a companion is like a tiger, I am not the tiger, and I have not killed anyone. You are the best students in the world. It is also the will of the people. I believe you all understand what to do. Today she made it all clear.
"Your Majesty, the minister dared to ask, did you choose eight children of the family to be the guide of the people in the world. We are not poor people who cannot know their suffering. Baek Sang-hyuk voiced the doubts in his heart.
