Chapter 79: The Queen Mother's Thoughts

A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, if she is too shrewd, for her own brocade clothes and food, it is not a good thing for a family that is in a high position and has many concubines, which the Queen Mother has a natural stubborn cognition.

"Hua Weilan, you are lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot. Qin Luoyi smiled secretly in her heart, how a woman behaves depends on the other party's preferences, and she can't talk nonsense.

With a day's notice, Qin Luoyi will naturally prepare carefully, since she has plans to fight Song Jinya to the end, she must seize every opportunity to give herself more talismans, and it is inevitable to see the Queen Mother this time.

As early as before, she secretly stuffed a few purses into the slaves and maids around the Queen Mother, and inquired about the Queen Mother's preferences, and the object of inquiry was the maid next to Mama Li behind the Queen Mother.

"Good, all right. The Queen Mother's face was happy, she didn't mind Qin Luoyi's silence, she seemed to be very fond of Hua Weilan, and her reasonable performance seemed to favor Hua Weilan more.

Concubine Song Jinya naturally doesn't care about these details, she still has to pay attention to the prince, her ears have grown up to listen to the conversation between the prince and Rong Yunhe.

Although these two brothers are flattering and remembrance, she also has to pay attention.

The banquet was incomprehensible to everyone's minds, but it was pressed by the queen mother, who seemed to be happy and laughing.

"Someone, bring the things. "The Queen Mother invites people to dinner, and she can't let people go bare-handed, it's too face-saving, not to mention that as the Queen Mother, her net worth is not comparable to ordinary people, how can she be stingy.

The tray was covered with red satin, supported by a maidservant, and respectfully sent to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother unveiled her hands, and a pair of emerald green bracelets exuded a soft halo, showing in front of everyone's eyes.

"Today the mourning family is happy, and you are deeply pleased with the mourning family, come, one by one. As he spoke, he took the bracelet and handed it to the two, one for each of them, impartially.

"Empress Dowager Xie, how can this be done!" The two were flattered, although they knew that even if they went to see the princess, there would be a reward, but they were still very happy.

"It's not more polite, the elders can't give it away, take it all, treat the prince well in the future, don't do anything wrong. ”

The Queen Mother said so, and the two of them naturally didn't refuse, anyway, this is a common routine.

"The son is late, and the queen mother forgives her sins. ”

At this moment, the emperor walked over with a stiff smile, and seemed to not want to disturb the queen mother's interest, so he did not let anyone report it.

But the sudden arrival of the emperor still made everyone startled, and they were busy saluting.

"I'm just here to beg for food, you all have to be even, do whatever you want, don't disturb the queen mother's interest. The emperor was very generous, looked at the kneeling and quickly waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, why do you have time to come to see the mourning family today, sit down, sit down. The Queen Mother was kind and pleasant, and she didn't mind that the emperor suddenly disturbed her.

The palace maid had already moved a chair, and the emperor was not particular about it, so he sat next to the queen mother.

With the emperor here, everyone felt uncomfortable, and the queen mother also talked to the emperor more often, these two talked, others did not dare to interject, and the atmosphere became solemn, but fortunately, the banquet was almost the same.

Rong Yunhe is not small, Concubine Jin, who is almost forty, can still win the emperor's favor, her eyes are naturally there, from the moment the emperor appeared, she found that the emperor had something on her mind, and she guessed in her heart, but she has been here with the queen mother today, and she is naturally not clear about the affairs of the court, and she has not had time to ask, and she is also confused.

The emperor is not young anymore, he sits firmly in the country, he has worked hard for half his life, and now he is older, and he has begun to indulge a little, and he is rarely in the harem on weekdays, and he is majestic, but after talking to the queen mother today, he took a sip of wine and looked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, what do you have in mind?" Song Jinya said carefully, she loves the concubine, she can be loved by the emperor, and sometimes it is not suitable for others to say it, but she can also say it.

The emperor's face was not good-looking, he snorted coldly, and said: "Recently, the DPRK and China have not been calm, the war in the northwest has recurred, and there are constant troubles, and even the vassal kings who are guarding various places have begun to move, they are doing it carefully, but with that little bit of caution, how can they hide it." ”

Song Jinya was shocked, opened her round eyes, looked at the emperor and said, "How is this good?"

It's not that you don't know what to do, but you deliberately pretend to be like this, in fact, you can't wait for the vassal king to mess up, otherwise you won't have a chance. Song Jinya's small movements, Qin Luoyi naturally understood it, and was more vigilant in his heart, this Song Jinya was really difficult to deal with, and her every move was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The emperor was obviously still angry, and it was not easy to settle down, but he didn't expect this thing to happen, and he couldn't help but sigh angrily: "I'm not dead yet, these vassal kings, one by one, began to secretly communicate with the Western Xia, with the intention of cutting the land for the king." ”

"Then the emperor should hurry up and punish them, otherwise what should be done if this chaos continues for a long time. "Although Song Jinya also hopes that the vassal king will make a little mess, but he can't make too much trouble, colluding with Western Xia, plus Rongdi in the west, this country will be lost if it is not good, so that Rong Yunhe will be an emperor, and he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne, and if he doesn't do it, he will be beheaded, she is naturally not happy to see it.

"Can't catch the handle?" Although the Queen Mother was not born well, she was able to fight to the end in the harem of the first emperor, and even won the position of the Queen Mother, so she is naturally not a fool.

"Well, although I know that they have bad intentions, they don't let people grasp the handle so easily, and I can't do anything if I want to punish them. The Emperor sighed, his gaze gloomy.

As an emperor, he can use unsightly means, but it also depends on the person, he can't start with the territory of the vassal king, and he is running like an iron bucket one by one, so he can only start from the righteousness and the law of the country, but how can the vassal king let him grasp the handle so easily.

"I have long seen that these people don't have a few good things, and their henchmen are in great trouble. The Queen Mother sighed.

When the elders talk about national affairs, the juniors have no chance of interjecting, so they can only bow their heads and open their ears to listen one by one.

"Cutting the domain, this matter is imminent. The emperor showed murderous intentions, obviously he had this idea for a long time, but he didn't mention it openly, and now he has no choice but to pave the way for the prince.

"What should you do about this?" There are no outsiders here, and the Queen Mother did not say that they had a secret discussion in private, and many of the vassal kings were royal brothers.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long term. The emperor took a sip of wine, vented, was in a better mood, and his eyes fell on Rong Yunhe, today's protagonist is the protagonist, he has the heart to try, and immediately asked: "He'er, you also know a little about the situation now, I don't know what you think about the matter of the vassal king?"

The crown prince Rong Yutao still lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth were raised, giving people an unfathomable feeling, hey, third brother, this is your chance to perform, don't let your father down.

As the crown prince, he can participate in court politics, he naturally knows more than Rong Yunhe, and it is normal for the emperor not to ask him.

Rong Yunhe obviously didn't expect the emperor to ask this question, although he has always been involved in political affairs, but he is more of an observer, but now that the emperor asks, he must give an answer.

After thinking about it, Rong Yunhe said: "The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, the people of the Western Regions, the ambition of the wolf, it is not feasible to reform, it is necessary to fight with heavy troops, although the Western Xia is ready to move, but they don't know what to do, the vassal kings of various places, since the hearts of the people are back, the emperor can order them to lead troops to be the vanguard to fight against the enemy from the Western Regions." ”

Isn't this just driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, because you said it for so long, and the words were chiseled, the prince Rong Yutao sneered in his heart, and he was even more disdainful.

Song Jinya knows her son, and it is reluctant to be an emperor of Taiping, but to say such a major event, she lacks decisiveness and ruthlessness, and this answer is obviously not the emperor's heart.

The emperor is naturally dissatisfied, this kind of strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, anyone can think of it, but he is afraid of raising tigers, those vassal kings, I don't know how many private soldiers in their hands, and now if they still let them lead the army to fight against the Western Regions, it is not to send them another batch of troops, although the western invasion is fierce, but the scale is not large, as long as you defend it wholeheartedly, if you let the vassal king go, it is not a chance to give them training.

If you can't get the soldiers for them, they will all become theirs in the end.

"I have also thought about this move, but raising tigers is not the best choice, you must remember, the world is bustling, profit comes and goes, not just look at one place. The emperor shook his head, but Rong Yunhe's comments were good, he was such an honest person, and the emperor didn't criticize him, just two sentences of comments, he didn't have any hope.

"Yes, you should think twice about what you want to do in the future. Rong Yunhe was a little embarrassed, and his heart beat like a drum.

"Yes. ”

The emperor nodded, and Song Jinya looked at Rong Yunhe's eyes full of melancholy, this kid still has to grind.

The emperor glanced at the others, and saw Qin Luoyi sitting quietly on the side, frowning, remembering Qin Luoyi's words at the beginning, he felt that Qin Luoyi's ideas were often unexpected, and he couldn't help but move, and said: "You are Qin Luoyi, I see that you are a person with ideas, I don't know what you think about this matter?"

When the emperor has been an emperor for so many years, if you want to say that you have no vision, the throne will not be stable, not to mention that this emperor has taken good care of the country, naturally he is very shrewd, and he can see that Qin Luoyi is not simple.

Qin Luoyi was stunned for a moment, he pretended to be a grandson, how could he still notice himself, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine feels that the matter of the vassal king should not be rash, and the whole body should be moved. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, this plan was in line with his appetite, to put it simply, it was to divide internally first, let them contain each other, and then summon them back to face the saints, and not let them go out to make trouble.

"It's a long-term solution. The emperor nodded, but in front of so many people, although her words were good, she didn't praise them much, but the emperor was happy, and he still said very generously: "It's rare to have this insight, reward!"

The emperor's reward is not as simple as a bracelet, not to mention that the emperor is still happy, and cloth and silver are naturally indispensable.

Qin Luoyi was also excited, he could be appreciated by the emperor, and he had another layer of protection
