Chapter 98: Faithfulness

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with a straight face.

The emperor leaned on the back of the chair and said lightly: "What does the queen mother want to say?" ”

"Doesn't the emperor know what the mourning family wants to say?" The Empress Dowager sighed, "The emperor has been in power for twenty years, and he knows better than anyone else, but the mourning family can't figure it out, so I want to ask you what you think." ”

The emperor smiled.

The queen mother is advancing by retreating, he knows.

"You also said that your son knows better than anyone else, so don't worry so much," the emperor said, "I can make up my own mind." ”

The Queen Mother's brows furrowed, suppressed her temper in her heart, and persuaded: "The king of a country cannot be ruled by one person. ”

A hint of impatience flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"You ......" the Queen Mother's hand in her sleeve clenched into a fist.

She wanted to persuade her, but obviously, the emperor did not have the patience.

This made the Queen Mother's heart anxious.

"What mistake did the Taifu make, you want to lock him up in the palace, and let people surround the Taifu Mansion," the Queen Mother raised her voice and asked, "The Taifu has been diligent all his life, and has done his best for the Great Zhou and the emperor, why does the emperor treat him like this at such an advanced age?" He is not only a courtier, he is also an emperor! ”

The emperor had heard these words too many times, so that before the queen mother spoke, his heart was full of indignation.

"So, I'm going to listen to him all the time?" The emperor asked.

The queen mother said sharply: "Is the emperor rebellious?" If your wings are stiff, you can't look down on Mrs. Xu? ”

"It's not that I don't look down on him, it's that he ......" After a pause, the emperor shook his head, "The queen mother doesn't want to intercede for the Taifu, and I won't do anything to the Taifu." ”

"What if you don't treat him?" The Empress Dowager tasted this and said angrily, "So you just want to humiliate him?

Taking advantage of the lack of a dynasty during the New Year, Guan Taifu surrounded the Xu family and stopped the civil and military ministers outside the palace, just to vent your temper?

Your Majesty, you are sitting on a dragon chair, not a cradle! ”

The emperor's face was cloudy.

The most unpleasant thing for him is that others treat him as a child who needs to be taught by hand.

Mrs. Xu is like this, and so is the queen mother.

"The queen mother doesn't need to say much," the emperor stood up, his voice cold, "I have my own measure. ”

The queen mother also got up, tilted her head, and looked at her son, who was much taller than her: "Then you can talk to the mourning family about your proportions!" ”

Between the arguments, the topic returned to square one.

No matter how angry and dissatisfied she was, the Queen Mother did not just focus on venting her emotions and forgot the center of the topic.

The emperor turned his head away and ignored the queen mother's question.

The Empress Dowager didn't give in for half a step: "You think Taifu is stubborn and pedantic, but don't forget that when you were a teenager and didn't understand anything, it was Taifu who taught you how to deal with courtiers, and when you first ascended the throne, it was Taifu who taught you how to be an emperor!" When it is difficult to choose various contradictions, it is still Taifu who analyzes the situation for the emperor and has the current big week step by step! ”

"Am I denying the merits of Taifu?" The unpleasant words made the emperor angry, and said in a deep voice, "The queen mother asked me to listen to this and that, and I listened to ......."

The Empress Dowager interrupted the emperor's words: "What they say is beneficial to the Great Zhou!" ”

"Yes, it is good for the Great Zhou," the emperor sneered, "what about me?

Lin Xuan's heart is full of Da Zhou, how is it, is it me who is loyal?

Do you take me in your eyes?

Queen Mother, I have passed the age of my establishment, and I know how to be an emperor! Please also ask the queen mother to be a queen mother! ”

After saying this, the emperor threw down his sleeves and strode out of the hall.

The queen mother wanted to stop him, but her blood was surging, her eyes were full of flowers, and she was supported by her grandmothers in a staggering manner and rested on the couch.

Mama Xia persuaded her while comforting her: "Niangniang, don't be angry with the emperor." ”

"He couldn't listen to what the mourners were saying." The Queen Mother sighed.

"Niangniang, then mother and son, the emperor has grown up," Xia Mama pondered and said, "As the emperor said, he is thirty-six, not sixteen years old, and the people around him interfere too much, he will be dissatisfied, the old lady just cares too much about him, you ......"

"If he doesn't go astray, will Taifu say about him? Will the mourners say about him? The Queen Mother said, "He is now bent on going his own way!" ”

Seeing that Mama Xia was going to persuade again, the Queen Mother waved her hand: "Truth, everyone knows that the emperor listens to Deng Guoshi, not the mourning family, and the harem does not interfere in politics to block the mourning family." ”

This made the Queen Mother feel cold.

Mother-in-law's mother and son, why doesn't she understand what the emperor is thinking?

The Great Zhou Dynasty was built for a short time, and the important ministers all worked hard with the first emperor back then, and it was impossible for the young emperor to satisfy everyone at that time.

But they are loyal to Da Zhou.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, this is enough.

The emperor just mentioned Lin Xuan, and the queen mother also knew that Lin Xuan and the emperor could not be of the same mind, but so what?

Lin Xuan has talent and ability, he will do everything to fight for Da Zhou, such a person can be used.

The first thing the emperor wants to ensure is to sit firmly on that chair.

Now, twenty years later.

The emperor felt that he was sitting firmly, and he began to be dissatisfied with the Xu Taifu who pointed fingers, and the old man who was only loyal to Da Zhou and had some slander against him, what he wanted was courtiers who were sincere to him......

There is nothing wrong with this demand for "loyalty."

It's just that, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the emperor is too eager.

I've endured it for 20 years, so why not put up with it for a few more years?

Thirty-six only, not sixty-six or seventy-six!

Will they not survive the old ministers?

And what made the emperor anxious, there is no doubt that it was Deng Guoshi's traitor!

On the other hand, the emperor returned to the imperial study.

Gonggong Xu served tea, but it was useless for the emperor to take a sip.

"Lord Taibao is still waiting outside the palace gate," Gonggong Xu observed the emperor's expression and said, "I can't persuade you." ”

"Let him go." After speaking, the emperor leaned back and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Seeing this, Gonggong Xu retreated.

After a while, the little waiter outside probed his brain.

Gonggong Xu went out to ask, took a sip, and returned to the palace.

The emperor heard the voice and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Gong said fairly: "Huang Taishi and the three adults of Sangu also arrived at the gate of the palace, saying that tonight is the fifth and seventh days of His Royal Highness, and they came to offer incense to His Royal Highness." ”

Hearing this, the emperor opened his eyes.

In the dark eyes, there was a gloomy color.

"Which old guy came up with the idea?" The emperor scolded, "Let them go!" ”

Outside the palace, Fan Taibao coughed twice and exchanged information with several other people.

"Yongning Hou mentioned it to me, and I quickly called the others," Xu Shaobao and Fan Taibao said, "No matter what, let's talk about it in the palace first, there is always more news in the palace than outside." ”

Fan Taibao asked: "The old marquis didn't come?" ”

"Let's get closer to His Highness," Xu Shaobao said, "Master Hou is here, it's not appropriate." ”

Fan Taibao nodded thoughtfully: "First ask the old lady what made the emperor angry." ”
