Chapter 234

Empress Cao didn't follow her words, only glanced at the inner room, and then said with a smile: "Sister Qin, your daughter looks very similar to you when you were young, if Your Majesty sees her, Your Majesty will definitely like her very much." When she said this, she actually wanted to ask from the side if His Majesty had already come here to see her.

Princess Ming is a smart person, and she vaguely understood what she wanted to ask, so she only glanced at her before saying: "King Ming rebelled, and now he has become a prisoner, even if His Majesty cares about brotherhood, but King Ming is wrong is wrong." This time I am a sinner, and Scarlet is the daughter of a sinner, where can I have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty? It is the queen's mother, if it weren't for the love I once had, I wouldn't have set foot here in my life. ”

Empress Cao said: "Sister Qin, don't be a sinner, since Your Majesty has forgiven the sins of the three kings and retained the title of the three kings, you have already forgiven the three kings." My sister is still the princess, and Scarlet is still the daughter of a noble county king. Sister Qin, now this is only temporary, His Majesty has already ordered the Ministry of Engineering to build a mansion for the three kings, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness King Ming will have his own mansion. ”

If so, the sinner is grateful. After that, Princess Ming was silent for a moment, and then looked at Queen Cao, who was sitting on the top seat, "Queen Mother, I don't know if there are any instructions for coming here this time? If so, please ask Queen Mother to say directly, what the sinner woman can do, she will definitely help Queen Mother." ”

Empress Cao thought about it, but did not immediately answer Princess Ming's question, but only said: "Back then...... I'm seriously ill, and after I wake up, why is my sister going to marry King Ming? Sister, do you know, Your Majesty is for your sister, but you have a big illness, why don't you say it when you love each other so much? For your sister, Your Majesty has been in pain for 30 years! What are those so-called romantic affairs, so many women in the harem who have been favored and fortunate to get a position, Your Majesty is all for your sister to see, everything is for you to reads;. ”

Empress Cao said excitedly, she was jealous and unwilling, but more desperate and uncomfortable.

There were only two people in the room, and they used to be old acquaintances, and when it came to the anger, Queen Cao actually shed tears.

"I like Your Majesty, and I like him from the first time I saw him, and when I hid behind my sister and looked at him. But he only has his sister in his eyes, and I know that compared to my sister, I am just an ordinary girl, and I don't dare to expect His Majesty to be able to pamper me as much as he doted on my sister back then. But then I learned that in the eyes of His Majesty, there has never been anyone, and his heart was gone thirty years ago. Empress Cao was already crying with tears all over her face, her eyes were red, her chest rose and fell, and she continued excitedly, "Why?"

In comparison, Princess Ming was very calm, about the past mentioned in Queen Cao's mouth, Princess Ming only blinked her eyes slightly, and her delicate red lips pursed slightly tighter.

"At the beginning, Empress Liu knew about the matter between me and His Majesty. Princess Ming said calmly, "You also know that at that time, Emperor Taizu was sick and bedridden, and the power of the court was in the hands of Empress Liu. Once Emperor Taizu died, the crown prince at that time ascended the throne as emperor, and the biggest threat to the Liu family was the four kings. After Empress Liu knew about me and His Majesty, she found me and asked her to marry King Ming without crying, otherwise, she would have the ability to toss Your Majesty. Although sometimes I seem to be not afraid of heaven and earth, but in fact I am very fragile, I am really afraid, I dare not gamble, so I can only admit defeat. ”

"That's the case...... Empress Cao softened, a little depressed, and only murmured, "That's the case." ”

She was obviously dissatisfied with such a reason, she didn't want Princess Ming to marry King Ming for His Majesty's safety, deep down, she really hoped that Princess Ming betrayed His Majesty. In that case, even if it is difficult for His Majesty to let go of her, when he learns the truth and sees her true face clearly, he should gradually forget it.

But no, she wronged herself for the sake of His Majesty, she was noble.

Empress Cao was very painful, but she endured it, and only continued: "I came here today, first, I want our sisters to reminisce about the old relationship, and second, I do have something I want to ask my sister for help. I thought about it, I am afraid that this matter will only be heard by my sister, and His Majesty will listen. ”

"What's the matter?" Princess Ming raised her eyebrows, "I'm just a sinner, how can Your Majesty listen to me." ”

Empress Cao got up, walked towards Princess Ming, sat down next to her, and pleaded: "Sister must promise me, this matter, really only if my sister speaks, Your Majesty will listen." Her expression was sincere, and her eyes were shining with tears, which made people look at it and couldn't bear to refuse.

"If the queen mother has any orders, just say it. Princess Ming replied softly.

Empress Cao said: "Since Emperor Taizu went, the Liu family has controlled the government, blamed the people harshly, and made the people miserable. But now that it is good, His Majesty ascended the throne as the emperor, killed the Liu family, and finally returned the world to peace. But the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and now that there is a virtuous prince in the capital, there is no longer room for a Jin king with great achievements. Although the king of Jin has military exploits, he is only a prince after all, and if he wants to ensure the stability of the overall situation, the king of Jin must go to the fiefdom of Luoyang. I have already asked the King of Jin to talk about this, but the King of Jin did not listen, I am really afraid that he will be proud of his achievements and destroy his future. ”

"Is it self-destruction of the future, or is it ruining the future of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Princess Ming asked softly.

Empress Cao was taken aback, and then frowned: "Sister Qin, what do you mean by this?"

Princess Ming slowly retracted her gaze and only looked at the void in the distance: "At the beginning, Empress Liu wanted to keep the son of the four kings as a hostage in the capital, but it was the second son Yong who was sent by Yizhou. At that time, I was thinking, thinking that this Gongzi Yong was not favored. Otherwise, why didn't King Yi and his wife send their eldest son to Beijing?"

"Ting'er is the eldest son, and he needs to hold up the lintel reads;. Empress Cao didn't feel guilty, "Only by performing their duties can they last long, besides, isn't Yong'er also good now?"

Princess Ming pulled the corners of her lips and chuckled: "Yes, nine deaths, you finally survived, you only saw the result, you don't care." De'er and King Jin were close friends when they were protons, and De'er told me that among the four of them, only King Jin was the best, so Liu had been making things difficult in every way. Several times, His Royal Highness King Jin almost died in the palace, if it weren't for his fate, would the queen still have no guilt at all?"

Empress Cao was slightly stunned, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, and argued: "Both of them are the flesh that fell from my body, and I naturally love them all, but when I have to make a choice, I think I have a choice." I took the overall situation into account at that time and sent my son to Beijing, so what's wrong? Okay, Sister Qin, I didn't come here today to argue with you about this matter, besides, what's the point of mentioning this matter now?"

"No, aren't you here today to talk about the matter between the prince and the king of Jin?" Princess Ming said, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court, since Empress Liu is first, do you think Your Majesty will not be afraid of you? You are anxious to assist the prince to ascend the throne, just like Empress Liu back then, a lesson from the past, Your Majesty is smart, and he can understand." ”

Empress Cao was shocked, not because she said that Her Majesty could understand it, but it was just strange, how could Princess Ming know so much?

"Your Majesty is too obvious, Your Majesty knows in his heart, he just didn't say it. Princess Ming saw that she was stunned, so she relieved her doubts and said, "Since the Son of Heaven is here, the prince is only for the prince, as long as His Majesty wants to change, he can change it at any time." The King of Jin has indeed made great achievements in war, and this time it should be the time to reward meritorious deeds, and instead of rewarding them, he will belittle them, and will not distinguish between rewards and punishments? When the new dynasty was first established, if he was rewarded or not, who would be desperately loyal to His Majesty and loyal to the imperial court in the future? The King of Jin was an example, and his example was set up by His Majesty himself. His Majesty hopes that the monarch and the people will be united, so that they can be unanimous with the outside world, so that the barbarians of the four seas will not dare to invade the territory of the Central Plains. Then there is ......" Princess Ming paused lightly, glanced at Empress Cao from the corner of her eyes, and then said, "The relationship between me and Your Majesty now, at best, is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and at the smallest, it is the relationship between the uncle and the younger brother-in-law. ”

"Your Majesty has always liked my sister so much. Empress Cao clasped her hands tightly, tried her best to endure the fire of jealousy in her heart, and bit her lip tightly and said, "At any time, you can speak the truth, and you will consider it from the position of the overall situation of the world." But I'm just a mother, I just hope that my two sons don't fight to the death for the throne, I hope they can perform their duties and work together for the benefit of the people of the world. ”

"If the King of Jin goes to Luoyang, there will be no more contradictions?" Princess Ming said, "What if there is another war? Does Your Majesty summon the King of Jin back to Beijing or not? Does the King of Jin make another military exploit, or is he only sent to Luoyang?

"You ......" Empress Cao stood up suddenly, trembling with anger, "How dare you talk to me like this." ”

Princess Ming was not panicked, and hurriedly knelt down: "The sinner woman lost her words, please forgive the queen." ”

Empress Cao lowered her eyes and looked at her, obviously extremely jealous in her heart, but she wanted to hold her chin high and walked out steadily with a proud attitude.

Even if you lose your heart, you don't want to lose your identity......

After Queen Cao left, Zhao Fei, who had been hiding in the back room and eavesdropping, hurriedly ran out, helped his mother up, frowned and said, "Mother, I scared my daughter to death, my daughter thought she would punish you." ”

"Don't be afraid. Princess Ming comforted, "With the mother concubine here, it will be fine." Okay, it's getting late today, let's go and rest together. 166 Reading Network
