"What nonsense are they talking about?"

Tuoba Hong took her hand and walked in gently, and said softly as he walked: "Miao Lian, don't ask, you know these guys, don't you find something to show their loyalty one day?" It's not the first day I've played with them. ”

As a minister, he was greedy for money, and he had the right and ambition to constantly pry favor with the king in order to be promoted; The other group of people with higher wisdom will decide by judging the temperament of the monarch: for example, the emperor is upright, then they will choose to speak out, commonly known as "selling straight", in all kinds of big and small matters, but all the problems they think are not in line with "morality" and "ancestral family law", they will speak up to the end, and the emperor must finally submit to their will. At first, it was a small official who made a difficulty, and then a big official followed up, and it evolved into a huge force on the palace. Even if the behavior fails in the end, even if he is punished by the emperor, he can at least leave a reputation as a "loyal minister".

From the war against the Southern Dynasties, to the relocation of the capital to Luoyang, to the attitude towards the Empress Dowager Feng, the contest between Tuoba Hong and the ministers has long been commonplace.

Feng Miaolian looked at him carefully, trying to see from his face whether there was hidden anger and pain, but she looked at him for a long time and found nothing.

The dinner was very pleasant, and Tuoba Hong was talking and laughing all the time.

In the end, Feng Miaolian finally couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, where is Liu'er?" ”

Although this sentence was said in an understated tone, at that time, Feng Miaolian really pinched a cold sweat, and her heart was pounding hard.

Later, even her eyelids drooped, as if Tuobahong's gaze was an extremely sharp blade, and she didn't dare to face it at all.

"Miaolian, don't you know where Liu'er went?"

She raised her head in surprise, almost thinking it was an illusion: Tuoba Hong's gaze had not changed at all, it was still gentle and soft, but she paused, and continued without waiting for her to answer: "Miao Lian, last time I went to Zhaoyang Palace, I saw the boxes you distributed to Liu Er and Baozhu, and I know that you have the heart to let them out to marry." So this time, after thinking about it, I let Liu Er and a group of palace maids go out first. ”

He said "a batch", not a person.

"Miao Lian, you were groggy and not in good health a few days ago, so I forgot to mention this to you. By the way, it will be good for Liu Er to go out, you can rest assured that she has arranged a very good marriage for her at home......"

Tuoba Hong said a rough location, but it was not detailed, Feng Miaolian listened to it, and couldn't say anything, that place was very, very far away, from then on, the ends of the world, it was almost destined to be impossible to meet again in a lifetime.

Why did you send Liu'er so far away?

She didn't ask any further, vaguely aware of something, but she didn't want to go any further.

Some things are better to be confused.

It was late at night.

Tossing and turning, this night, the two of them had no sleep.

When Tuoba Hong turned over again, he noticed that the people around him were slightly sideways, and his body looked very bulky when he was about to turn over. He reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulder: "Miao Lian, can't sleep?" ”

She simply sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and was silent for a while.

Tuoba Hong also sat up, took the quilt and covered her, and then asked, "Miaolian, what do you want?" ”

"Your Majesty, have those ministers repeatedly forced the palace on you?"

Tuoba Hong laughed: "It's not this time that I've been forced into the palace, Miaolian, it's not that you don't know." Why care what they say? What's one thing these guys don't offer to obstruct? ”

Although he was understatement, she felt that the tone under this understatement was full of a kind of extreme hardship—such hardship that few people could experience.

However, as a pillow person, a husband and wife for many years, how can she not have a little experience?

Moreover, the dissolution of the harem is an unprecedented thing, and it is inevitable that the ministers will fiercely oppose it. Even Master Feng realized that he couldn't protect himself, how could he stay out of the matter as a party to the matter?

"Today, Master Feng...... My father ......" She blushed a little, and was so embarrassed when she called her father, and paused before she broke off: "My father came to me today, and he was very worried, and asked me to dissuade you from giving up that idea, otherwise it will cause extremely terrible consequences......"

Tuoba Hong looked at her interestingly: "Ha, Miaolian, then you want me to give up?" ”

Her red face could not be seen in the night, only she could feel it: "No...... I don't want you to give up......" The voice was low, but very clear and clear.

Tuoba Hong laughed.

At this moment, my heart was unusually happy, and the unhappiness of these days was suddenly swept away.

The most precious thing between husband and wife is trust. It was as if the feeling of years ago had returned, and there were no secrets between him and her. Master Feng's private secret meeting was replaced by one that no one would say it—at least, the emperor and the concubine would not say it to each other.

However, Feng Miaolian not only said it, but also did not hold back.

He laughed: "Miao Lian, Master Feng's worry is a little reasonable, but it is not as serious as you think. The ministers are just worried about the appearance of the next Empress Dowager Feng......"

She wondered: Isn't that the point?

Tuoba Hong, he himself is not worried?

The emperors of all dynasties are worried about the problem of the heroine interfering in politics, why is he unwilling?

There is only one point, she didn't expect that the emperors of all dynasties were indeed worried, but Tuoba Hong was not the emperor of all dynasties - he was just the emperor of the northern country, an emperor who dared to make drastic reforms and dare to move the capital to Luoyang. Because he was so confident in his own abilities that he didn't worry about anyone threatening his position.

Because of this self-confidence, he not only did not guard against his brothers like the emperors of previous dynasties, but he was even very lenient towards his ministers. If a man's heart is big enough, will he not be able to accommodate a woman?

Only men who are not confident and strong will be on guard against their women step by step, and they are eager to put women in glass bottles as decorations.

As we all know, the first emperor Luo Jia never seemed to have any precautions against Fang Fei during his lifetime, and at that time, his world was not threatened in any way.

"Miao Lian, it's normal for Master Feng to think like this. But Master Feng also underestimated me, this kind of thing, no matter how serious it is, it can't be moved to the capital, when the capital was moved, hundreds of people jointly wrote a letter of protest. This time, the total number of people in the palace is less than ten, and besides, except for the Xianbei relatives as the main force, the other ministers have nothing special to say......" He paused, "I will try to make them understand a truth, this matter, in the final analysis, is my family matter!" ”

The harem matter is just the emperor's family affair.

Especially a person like Tuoba Hong, who is gentle on the outside and very tough on the inside. In the southern and northern wars, the ministers can give advice, but when it comes to which woman the emperor likes and which wife he wants to work with, no one is allowed to interfere.

Even if it is a royal relative, it can't be.

He was categorical: "Miaolian, there is nothing to discuss, and I have nothing to be ashamed of." Regardless of seniority or other conditions, if I do this, they can't find any way to attack, it's just to grasp the ancestral family law and hold on......"

The so-called ancestral family law, that is a great irony. In order to prevent women from interfering in politics, Taizu even made a bad move like killing his mother, but in the end, the most famous woman in the history of the Northern Kingdom was actually a woman, and her fame was not even comparable to all the emperors under Taizu combined.

It's a big joke.

She looked up at him, and saw his hearty laughter, and there was a feeling of awe in her heart—she had maintained such awe, or admiration, for him before leaving the family temple.

A woman always has to look up to a man before she can really die.

In the dark, he seemed to answer her suspicions: "Miaolian, in fact, they don't know you, and their worries are completely unnecessary." You are completely different from the Queen Mother, you are not as smart and intelligent as the Queen Mother...... You won't be angry if I say that, will you? ”

She shook her head in the dark.

It's a fact.

Compare yourself with the Queen Mother? That's unthinkable. The Queen Mother has long thought about what to do with this country and the direction of the future, but what about her Feng Miaolian? I never think about this kind of big problem, morning and twilight, I just think about what to do with the men around me, and whether this life will be safe until the end of my life.

The realm of human beings determines the fate of the future.

"Miao Lian, we have always lived a simple and happy life before. But I don't know when I don't feel happy at all. I wondered a long time ago, why the hell is this? However, I couldn't find a better way to think about it, and I really didn't have the leisure to pay attention to them anymore, so I wanted to do it once and for all. ”

Monogamy is always the only way to resolve disputes.

Gradually, she understood exactly what he meant.

This has been her wish for many years, but when it really appears at this moment, it feels so unreal.

"Miao Lian, do you know what I regret the most?"

“？？”

"I didn't make you queen from the beginning......"

"I know...... Your Majesty, that's because you're good to me...... You're afraid that my son's life will be in danger of my husband......"

"No...... Miao Lian, you don't know, it's not like this......"

At this time, she was really slightly puzzled.

In the dark, he even blushed a little.

"The Queen Mother treated you well when she was alive, I know...... She really wants you to be the queen...... However, at that time, I felt that the Queen Mother controlled me too much...... I can't stand those confinements at all......"

It dawned on her.

She is a member of the Queen Mother's Party - although it is only an insignificant small role, but the person closest to the Queen Mother. Moreover, she is not close to the family, only close to the Queen Mother, she is the queen, if the Empress Dowager Feng does not die, she will always be inclined to the Empress Dowager Feng. In this way, the power of the harem is still in the hands of Empress Dowager Feng forever.
