Section 13: Cultivating cronies

As soon as the early dynasty ended, Queen Meng hurriedly ordered me to go to the harem to see her, probably because I had something to ask me for my inexplicable performance in the court!

I was not in a hurry to go to the harem to see her, but immediately asked the eunuch to summon Xiao Qing and asked her to go with me to the harem to meet Queen Meng!

I took Xiao Qing to Queen Meng's harem, Queen Meng was very surprised, I didn't expect me to bring her directly over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, Empress Meng is also a person who has seen the world, so she did not act panicked about this, but calmly beckoned us to sit down and talk.

With Xiao Qing here, it was inconvenient for the queen to ask more about the affairs of the court, so she just smiled and let us drink tea and eat fruits, and did not take the initiative to start a conversation, which probably wanted me to start a show.

I took a sip of tea and asked Xiao Qing with a smile, "Lord Fengchang, do you know why I brought you to see Her Majesty?"

Xiao Qing heard me ask her, she immediately nervously put down the teacup in her hand, and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince summoned me to see Her Majesty the Queen, there must be something important to explain, and the official understands!"

I smiled and asked, "Do you understand why I want to do everything I can to promote you to the post of Fengchang?"

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, she blinked her big beautiful eyes, and after thinking for a long time, she stammered and replied: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, didn't you say it, because I am more loyal and good......-looking."

Speaking of which, she was embarrassed to continue, because these were all words praising her beauty, so she was naturally embarrassed to say it completely!

I laughed out loud after listening to it, which made Queen Meng and Xiao Qing a little inexplicable, and looked at me very suspiciously!

After laughing, I got up and moved my muscles, learned from the ancients to put my hands behind my back, and then paced small steps around their tables, turning my back to the two of them as I went, and said slowly: "There is no law, there is no law, everything is chaotic, and the country will not be a country, so the law is the foundation of the country!"

Xiao Qing was shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly got up and followed me respectfully, listening to my teachings seriously.

This person has a very correct attitude at a glance, and it is estimated that he is a talent that can be created, at least in terms of mentality, he is a person who wants to do a serious career!

I then said to her, who bowed her head and bent down beside me: "Directly promoted from Yushi to Fengchang, such an exceptional promotion, which is very rare in all dynasties, can Lord Xiao know what this means?"

Xiao Qing lowered her head and replied, "Your Majesty is dull, I hope His Royal Highness the Prince can guide you!"

I nodded, and continued to pac and said: "Old Prime Minister Xiao is the hero of my great Yongguo, if it wasn't for the old prime minister Xiao to give advice, how could my great Yongguo settle down in Yongzhou!

As soon as I said this, then I heard a plop, Xiao Qing was moved to kneel on the ground, and replied with tears in her eyes: "My Xiao family can be so praised by His Royal Highness the Prince today, and my father will be moved to tears in the spirit of heaven, and I and the descendants of the Xiao family are also grateful to Dade! Xia Guan is not talented, he has no achievements in the imperial court, and he has also been favored by the first emperor to take up the post of imperial history, and Xia Guan remembers the kindness of the first emperor and never dares to forget! Now Xia Guan is fortunate to have the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Majesty the Queen, and once again made an exception to the position of Fengchang, and Xia Guan is flattered! The ministers will be loyal to the great yong, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will never give up!"

After hearing this, Empress Meng immediately comforted her and said: "Aiqing, please get up, His Royal Highness the Prince just said, you and I are a family, don't be too restrained! Come on, come on, sit down and talk!"

Xiao Qing rubbed her eyes, got up and wiped her tears, and then sat back on the cushion quietly!

Empress Meng looked at Xiao Qing who lowered her head, then looked up and glared at me with a smile, meaning to blame me for making everyone cry!

I nodded, sat back on the cushion, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qing, and continued to say to her: "The queen mother and I both know that Lord Xiao is a loyal servant of the imperial court, and in the factional disputes of the imperial court, he still maintains only loyalty to the royal family, and can maintain loyalty despite power, this is great loyalty!"

After hearing this, Xiao Qing replied angrily: "The first emperor is as kind to my Xiao clan as a mountain, how can we bend down because we are afraid of power! Prime Minister Wang Cheng is calling for wind and rain in the court, and the imperial uncle is in power and is ambitious, and the disputes between the two factions are not uncommon, causing chaos in the government and the opposition, and the people's lives are even more miserable! If we don't rectify the dynasty, I am afraid that our Dayong Kingdom will be destroyed in the hands of these two people!"

After hearing this, Empress Meng was overjoyed, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she looked at me sideways and said nothing!

I nodded and continued to say to her, "If we want to rectify the court, then according to Lord Xiao, what should we do?"

Xiao Qing blurted out without hesitation: "We should strictly enforce the law and discipline, curb the phenomenon of favoritism and malpractice, suppress these forces that form parties for personal gain, and eradicate traitors and villains in the court!"

I nodded again and continued to ask her, "That's a good point, but where do we start?"

Xiao Qing blurted out again: "The law is the foundation of the country, and it should be followed by ......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qing suddenly stopped, and suddenly she seemed to understand something, then got up and took a few steps back, and seriously bowed to me and Queen Meng and said, "Please forgive your ignorance, I think I should understand the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Majesty the Queen by now!"

Empress Meng and I were overjoyed and laughed together.

Xiao Qing knelt on the ground, and she was very ashamed and laughed!

Empress Meng got up, then stepped forward, personally helped her up from the ground, and then pulled her to sit down beside her very warmly, touched her delicate hand and said: "Oh, Lord Xiao is very old, has both ability and political integrity, is beautiful and moving, and is the first talented woman in Yongzhou!

Xiao Qing's face turned red after hearing this, and she said very shyly: "Your Majesty the Queen has praised you falsely! The villain has been an official in the court for more than two years, and he still has not made any achievements, and he dare not slack off in his heart to serve the court, how dare he talk about the marriage of his children!"

Empress Meng comforted her and said: "Men should marry and women should marry, and they can't miss their marriage because of state affairs!"

Xiao Qing's expression became a little serious, and she arched her hand and said seriously: "Xiaguan once swore in front of my father's spirit that if I can't make contributions to the Dayong country, I should never marry! When I return to the Central Plains, it will be my Xiao Qing's wedding day!"

Such bold words, if I hadn't heard them with my own ears, it would be really hard to believe that this was from the mouth of an ancient woman, and she was also a talented woman in the officialdom with a beautiful national color!

Obviously, Queen Meng was moved by her words, and couldn't help but hug Xiao Qing, her eyes were full of tears!

This is not good, how can you be so out of shape as a queen, originally we came to influence her, how can we be influenced by her in turn.

But Xiao Qing was also very excited, she hugged the queen tightly, and tears flowed out!

In ancient times, there was a sarcastic remark about women, saying that the merchant girl did not know how ruthless the country would die, and she still sang the flowers in the backyard across the river! However, compared with the merchant girl in the ancient poem, the two of them were in completely different moods, both of them were crying for the loss of the country, and their hearts were full of confidence and expectation for the restoration of the country!

After the two of them calmed down, I said to Xiao Qing: "Lord Xiao, from today onwards, you should be a good student and revise the law, this matter is also a meritorious contribution to the country, and it is far more important than killing the enemy on the battlefield!"

Xiao Qing bowed her head and replied: "Xia Guan understands that we were originally in charge of the clerical position, and we have long had many different views on the law, and we have been suffering from not having the opportunity to rewrite it!

I replied, "I don't say much, but only one sentence, the purpose of which is to ensure that the law is for the benefit of the people! Therefore, when revising the law, everything must be considered from the perspective of the people, and it must be beneficial to the country and the people! At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to one point, that is, it is necessary to ensure that the new law can be implemented everywhere to the end, otherwise everything will be in vain!"

Xiao Qing nodded again and again after hearing this, and said excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Prince is a genius in governing the country in the world, after listening to His Royal Highness's words, the lower official immediately opened his house, and the lower official knew how to do it!"

After saying that, Xiao Qing couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave, probably to get started immediately!

Empress Meng looked at the direction she was leaving, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "This Lord Xiao is really strange, didn't she finally want to thank you for the people just now, Huang'er, why did you leave in such a hurry?"

I smiled and said, "This woman is a practical person, and she disdains to say those flattering words, so she is in a hurry to go to the affairs of the law!"

Empress Meng nodded knowingly, then frowned and asked me, "Emperor, the queen mother has something unclear, why did you say that when you promoted Lord Xiao above the court?

I nodded, and replied earnestly: "Endure the humiliation of the moment, deliberately behave vulgarly, can prevent the other party from being wary of us too early, so that we will have more time to make arrangements!

After hearing this, Empress Meng smiled and nodded, then stretched out her hand to hold me in her arms, and said very movingly: "It's still my emperor's wisdom, the queen mother has been taught, and all major events in the future will be arranged by the queen!"

After saying that, Queen Meng hugged me, sat on the cushion and shook it slowly, and then she said happily: "In the past, the queen mother could only count on Prime Minister Wang for everything, but Prime Minister Wang Cheng made the queen mother very uneasy! Now the queen mother can rely on my family Jue'er, this feeling is really different, think about the queen mother feels happy! Since Jue'er talked to the queen mother last time, the queen mother has slept very well these days, and everything she eats feels very fragrant! With such a smart son as you, the queen mother is really content!"

After saying that, she continued to hold me and shake me, and in an instant, I saw a trace of tears in her eyes!

I'm sorry Queen Meng, I know that I am not your biological son, I came to this illusory world to possess your son, this is not what I want, I have no choice!

I don't know where your son has gone, or where his soul is! I have made countless calculations about my appearance, but I can't figure out what it is, let alone where your son's soul has gone!

Thank you for your love for me, thank you for trusting me, thank you for being the queen!

Please rest assured, when I Xiao Feng comes to this virtual world, all the wicked and sinister villains will not want to escape! With me, Xiao Feng, no one will want to bully you anymore, because in this illusory world, you are my mother......
