Chapter 422: Obscure
The emperor quietly avoided the Queen Mother's words, and the Queen Mother smiled and continued: "I heard that there is a big and small incident in the capital today, has the emperor heard of it?" ”
The emperor didn't care much, "A huge east, there will be countless folds all day long, and the ministers can hear big things and small things every day, but I don't know which one the emperor is referring to?" ”
Seeing this, the Queen Mother didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "The mourning family refers to the thing that Li'er did, but I don't know if the emperor has heard of it?" ”
The emperor didn't pretend to be stupid, and nodded, "The matter of leaving the king, the son has already heard what the people below have said, this matter is indeed too impulsive to leave the king, then Lord Zhao is also a squire of the military department, and the court is in the middle of the third grade, and the king directly sent his subordinates to discount his son's leg in front of him, which is really hurtful to the heavens." ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "The mourning family didn't say anything about hurting the heavens, but the emperor was merciful." ”
The emperor smiled when he heard this, "The emperor is raised." ”
As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in the queen mother's tone, the emperor directly admitted it, and the queen mother didn't dwell on it at this time, so she changed her words and said, "Since the emperor knows about this matter, he must have already prepared a way to deal with this matter, this Lord Zhao has also heard of it, and he is narrow-minded, so he must not stop easily this time, but he doesn't know what the emperor thinks, if Lord Zhao sues the king to the court, how is the emperor going to solve it?" ”
The smile on the emperor's face disappeared a little, and he became a straight man and said: "This matter is indeed a little too much for the king to do, although Lord Zhao is narrow-minded, but he has been an official for several years and has outstanding ability. ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Listening to the emperor's words, are you ready to stand on Lord Zhao's side?" This helps others deal with their own sons, it can't be justified. ”
The emperor frowned, "The king has gone too far this time, I see that he is too smooth, relying on me to favor him, he will be lawless, this time I should teach him a lesson, let him reflect and reflect." ”
The queen mother smiled when she heard this, and the emperor asked suspiciously, "Why is the emperor's mother laughing?" ”
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor and said: "When the emperor said this, the mourning family listened to it without logic, so he smiled." ”
The emperor's smile was completely retracted, "I just don't know what the emperor's opinion is?" ”
The Queen Mother was not polite, and said directly, "At this time, in the eyes of the mourning family, what the king did was not too much, it was the son of Lord Zhao who was bold and dared to flirt with the princess, this is a man who must not be able to bear it, leaving the king's move, like a man, the mourning family is very happy and agrees." ”
The emperor frowned disapprovingly, "Huang Eniang, you should know that Tao Li'er is not the daughter-in-law candidate that the son of the minister likes, so the son ......"
"I heard that this time the barbarians are menacing, the ministers of the former dynasty are the main battle or the main and hype, but I don't know what the emperor thinks, the mourning family thinks that the lord and the others inevitably seem to be too timid, the mourning family means that the barbarians dare to offend, so they naturally want to send troops to suppress it, so as not to fuel their arrogance, this to deal with the barbarians, naturally the first recommended experienced General Tong."
The queen mother interrupted the emperor to speak, and the more the emperor listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and then said: "General Tong is my courtier, if it is the main battle at this time, it is natural to let General Tong go, General Tong has always been clear about public and private." ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "Does the emperor really think so? If it's true, then I heard a few days ago that the emperor divided the tiger talisman into two should be the old fool of the mourning family? ”
The emperor was choked by the Queen Mother's words, his eyelids drooped half, this move was also to share one or two for General Tong, the Queen Mother smiled, "Emperor, ten years have passed, General Tong is not the high-spirited general back then, he is no longer young, more sons and daughters of Tongfu who accompany him, General Tong's loyalty cannot be denied, but the emperor's move is inevitably a little chilling, Tongfu has done their best for our Mo family, and many people have died, and now Tongfu is only Tong Yimeng, a lone seedling, The emperor first borrowed Tong Yimeng to cut half of General Tong's military power, and then wanted to borrow Lord Zhao's position to leave the princess except Tao Li'er, even if he was a loyal subordinate, he must have been disheartened by his master like this, so the loss of a loyal subordinate was nothing, but when the time came, it affected the morale on the battlefield, but the gain outweighed the loss. ”
After the queen mother finished speaking, she took a leisurely sip of tea, and the emperor restrained his eyes, making people unable to see clearly, and kept turning the wrench on his thumb in his right hand.
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor, and then added, "The criminal minister Taishi Huaiyu defected, and he removed a lot of our abscesses. Now there are still a few people available in the court, presumably the emperor can see it more clearly than a woman in the mourning family, and the emperor understands it himself. ”
Saying that, he got up, "Okay, this ginseng soup has also been drunk, and the emperor should continue to deal with the government affairs, so the mourning family will not bother and drive back to the palace." ”
The emperor stood up and saluted, "The son of the minister respectfully sends the emperor's mother." ”
The emperor watched the figure of the Queen Mother go away, his eyes were complicated, and finally announced that Gonggong Li came over, "You send someone to send the spices from the Western Regions to Tongfu, and say that it is for Tao Li'er, as for the reason, you can figure it out yourself." ”
"Yes." Gonggong Li responded respectfully, turned around and left, and ordered someone to do it.
Tao Li'er was a little surprised when she received the spices, this sun came out in the west? The emperor sent spices to her?
Tao Li'er asked Gonggong Li suspiciously, "Gonggong Li, you are with the emperor, do you know what the emperor means by sending me this spice?" Please also mention a point. ”
Xiang'er took the opportunity to send a purse, Gonggong Li took it, put it in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "It is all said in this holy decree, saying that I think Miss Tao is smart and clever, and she can bring blessings to His Royal Highness Liwang." ”
Tao Li'er listened to the official answer, smiled and said nothing, and sent away Gonggong Li, Tao Li'er casually handed the spices to Xiang'er next to her, "Find a doctor to check, if it's okay, send it to your sister-in-law, sister-in-law doesn't love this Western Regions spice the most, just right, this is still a tribute, if you want to use it, use the best." ”
Xiang'er took the spices and went down, Tao Li'er returned to the West Courtyard, and saw Qin Laoyao sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and Xiaoxue was making tea for him next to him, Qin Laoyao looked at Tao Li'er and said, "He is showing you goodwill, why do you feel a little honored?" ”
Tao Li'er's eyes skimmed, "It's just spices, and it's not that I can't afford them." ”
Qin Lao Yao continued, "This reply from Xunfeng Lou has not yet come, let me ask you first, if this emperor shows favor to you and is willing to let you tie the knot with King Li, will you let go of the Tao family's family feud?" ”
