"Chen Ge, please hurry up, why do you want to make this big gift?"

Ye Tianhuai wanted to help him up first, but he didn't want Chen Yuansi to be unusually stubborn, he knelt on the ground and said: "If Your Majesty can't fulfill the wish of the old minister, please also ask Your Majesty to see that the old minister has been loyal to the court for many years, and now he is weak and sick, the quasi-old minister will return to his hometown." ”

Not again.

Ye Tianhuai was irritable in his heart.

In his previous life, Chen Yuansi also made many compromises for the emperor's succession, quoting scriptures in the court to use both soft and hard, equating the matter of marrying a concubine with whether he could sit on the throne, and finally almost impeached her as the emperor with his ministers and made her abdicate.

Ye Tianhuai couldn't withstand their attack, and finally reluctantly agreed, and ordered the Chen family daughter and the Gu family girl to be included in the harem together, but before the agreement was made on who would be the queen, Ye Tianhuai's identity was revealed, and the marriage was over.

Now Chen Yuansi uses Wenchen's set of admonitions to tell the old man to return to his hometown to force her, in the final analysis, it is better to change the soup than the medicine.

The corners of Ye Tianhuai's mouth hooked up a somewhat pathetic smile.

Yes, with her current situation, she has no military power in her hands, and she has no close ministers around her, and her name is Ninety-Five Supreme, which is really a fish on the case. What else does she have besides the title of emperor?

The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is crowded, all for profit. This is especially true in the court, where is there any good intentions for no reason.

She wanted to win over Chen Yuansi because she wanted to rely on him to suppress Gu Shihai, and Chen Yuansi spoke for her because she was worried about the position of the queen beside her.

To be more precise, what he wants is a prince with the blood of the Chen family.

But this is something that Ye Qianhuai can't give anyway.

Ye Tianhuai's expression darkened, she made a decision in her heart, a decision to gamble.

Then, she put away all kinds of thoughts, and smiled at Chen Yuansi with a pleasant smile: "What is Chen Ge Lao talking about?" I grew up under the watchful eyes of Chen Gelao, and if I say I am close, others cannot compare. If a family doesn't talk to two families, you get up quickly. ”

When Chen Yuansi heard that "the family doesn't talk to the two families", he seemed to be worried, and then slowly stood up with the support of Ye Tianhuai.

"The daughter of the Chen Mansion has such talent, if she can't have a good family, don't say that Chen Ge is reluctant, and I have to sigh." Ye Tianhuai paused, and said, "To tell you the truth, since I came to power, I have read all the excerpts handed over by the cabinet to the post, and I don't want to stand up, but I can't do it." ”

"Chen Ge Lao also knows that after the death of the Empress Dowager Jingmin last year, there was no one in charge of the harem. Since ancient times, parents have been in charge of major marriage events, and the royal family is no exception. But my parents died early, and I didn't make a family decision for me, so I can only make my own decisions. This is already unfilial piety. It has been less than two years since the imperial examination returned to heaven, and I am still in the filial piety period, and the big marriage in the filial piety period is a great unfilial piety. Dajing governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and as an example for the subjects of the world, how can I do such a thing? ”

Ye Qianhuai said sincerely, but Chen Yuansi was unmoved, he subconsciously wanted to let go of Ye Qianhuai's hand holding him, but was firmly grasped by Ye Tianhuai.

Ye Tianhuai changed his words and said, "However, it is rare for Chen Ge Lao to open his mouth to me once, how can I not allow it?" What's more, seeing a thousand gold and ink treasures today, I am very sad. ”

She took off the jade pendant on her waist, put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it with some reluctance, stuffed it into Chen Yuansi's hand, and said: "This jade pendant was given to me by the queen mother when I ascended the throne, and I took it with me for two years and never left my body. ”

When Chen Yuansi heard her talk about the preciousness of this jade pendant, he refused. Ye Tianhuai forcibly stuffed the jade pendant into his hand, and said, "When I saw this painting today, I suddenly realized that I had met a confidant. It's rare to have a confidant in life, Chen Ge Lao. This piece of jade pendant is a marriage between me and the Chen family, if Chen Ge Lao does not accept it, he will not allow this family business. ”

Chen Yuansi didn't expect Ye Tianhuai to suddenly relax about this marriage, he was surprised, and he didn't resist as much as Fang Cai.

"Your Majesty, this piece of jade pendant old minister knows, and he has followed the Empress Dowager Jingmin for a lifetime. This is too precious, and the old minister really doesn't dare to accept it. ”

Ye Tianhuai said: "When the queen mother gave me this jade pendant back then, she asked me to give it to my queen in the future. ”

When Chen Yuansi heard this, the boulder fell in his heart. His half-closed and half-open eyes suddenly opened completely, swept down and knelt, made a big salute, and said, "The old minister bows to thank Your Majesty for your favor." ”

"Hurry up. From now on, we will all be a family. Ye Tianhuai helped Chen Yuansi up, and said, "It's just that I am still serving filial piety, and the big wedding must be put on hold after the filial piety period." Even so, it's still okay to get married right now. Now that the Ministry of Rites is reorganized, I can't spare my hands, and when the Spring Festival is busy for a while, I will let the Ministry of Rites start to handle the engagement matters. What does Chen Ge Lao think? ”

This is indeed a compromise solution, Chen Yuan thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Shengming, you have thought it through. It's just that Lao Chen is worried that the vacancy in this Ministry of Rites will not be able to be selected for a while. ”

"Speaking of which, the candidate for the Ministry of Rites, what advice does Elder Chen Ge have?" Ye Qianhuai followed his words and asked.

"The Ministry of Rites has always been controlled by Gu Shihai, and the ministers have little interference, and he does not know as much about the personnel of the Ministry of Rites. If Your Majesty wants to promote a person from among the people of the Ministry of Rites, it is better to ask him than to ask the minister. But if His Majesty wants to transfer someone from another ministry to take charge of the Ministry of Rites, Lao Chen has a few candidates here. ”

The topic of the big wedding passed like this, and Chen Yuansi and Ye Tianhuai chatted about the rectification of the Ministry of Rites and many matters in the DPRK and China, and they talked about the sunset in the west.

I have to say that as soon as the marriage was decided, Chen Yuansi's attitude towards Ye Tianhuai had changed greatly, and it was really a family that didn't talk to each other.

Chen Yuansi has been in the cabinet for nearly ten years, and he has been in charge of the household department and the official department all the year round, and the life history of Manchu officials and the financial account books of Dajing are all in his mind. Listening to his words, Ye Tianhuai benefited a lot.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Tianhuai got up and was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something, maybe he could ask Chen Yuansi.

"Elder Chen Ge, I still don't know anything."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"It is said that Shi Taiping is the person recommended by Gu Shihai. Why didn't Gu Shihai protect him this time? ”

Chen Yuansi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when you were in the court, Gu Shihai scolded Shi Taiping in court?" ”

Ye Qianhuai nodded. Gu Shihai was furious at that time, and even Ye Tianhuai felt a little surprised.

"According to the old minister, Shi Taiping's spring selling questions was probably done secretly behind Gu Shihai's back, so there was the scene of going up."

Chen Yuansi's words woke Ye Tianhuai.

No wonder Gu Shihai turned his face against him in court, and he didn't protect him at all afterwards. I'm afraid that in Gu Shihai's eyes, Shi Taiping is already an unusable person with hard wings.

"Is there a disagreement between the two of them this time?" Ye Qianhuai asked again.

"I don't know how they get along with each other. However, Shi Taiping was a Jinke Tanhua of the Xingrui Dynasty, and he also served as the secretary of the literary school, and selling the official mantle was never his original intention. Chen Yuansi sighed lightly and said in a deep voice, "But the old minister once heard that he had a son who was a gambler and owed a lot of debts in the black street. ”

Ye Tianhuai understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and said, "I see. ”

But no matter what he did, Gu Shihai would not be able to keep him anymore.

Of course, Ye Qianhuai couldn't tolerate him.

Suffering is no excuse for depravity.
