Chapter 11: Coercion to give up the expedition
"Your Majesty, can you hear clearly and understand the usefulness of this jade pendant?" , "Queen Mother, what's the use of taking out this jade pendant at this time?" "When Emperor Yan knew what the jade pendant meant, he understood that the matter of the expedition might change.
"What does the queen mother want, it is inconvenient for the sons to speculate, and please ask the queen mother to make it clear", Emperor Yan really didn't want to tear his face with Xia Ji, until the last moment, he still had hope, and hoped that Xia Ji would not force people too much. Xia Ji snorted softly, picked up the jade pendant and hung it between the two.
"The mourning family wants to exchange it for a promise from the emperor", Xia Ji looked at Emperor Yan's eyes and continued: "The mourning family wants the emperor to personally conquer the matter, so let's stop it." "The Queen Mother!" The Flame Emperor said sharply, Xia Ji's move really angered the Flame Emperor.
Emperor Yan wanted to say something, but Old Prince Gu preemptively said, "I'm afraid this is to disappoint the Queen Mother, I'm afraid this promise can't be exchanged." Hearing this, Xia Ji and Emperor Yan looked at Old Prince Gu at the same time. "What does the prince mean by this, I'm afraid that I want to go against the will of the first emperor?"
"The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister is afraid that the queen mother will misunderstand the meaning of the first emperor", "What do you mean? As soon as Old Prince Gu's words came out, not only Emperor Yan didn't understand, but even Xia Ji was a little stunned, and he didn't understand what this old man wanted, so he asked.
Compared with Xia Ji's stunnedness, Yan was afraid that at this time, he wanted to know more about why Old Prince Gu said this, as if he saw hope, he followed Xia Ji's words and said, "There is also Prince Lao's explicit."
"Back to the queen mother and the emperor, when the first emperor gave this ice pear plate phoenix jade, he said that he could get a promise from the emperors of later generations, this is not false, there is no need to go to the memory room to check, the old minister can testify that there is indeed such a thing."
"Then what did the prince mean by what he said just now", Emperor Yan was a little discouraged, he thought that the matter of the jade pendant would take a turn for the better, but he didn't expect it to be the case, and he interrupted the words of the old prince Gu a little uncontrollably.
"Please also ask the emperor, Rong Chen to elaborate", this old prince Gu was not shocked, Emperor Yan nodded lightly at the old prince Gu, and motioned for the old prince Gu to continue.
"When the emperor gave this jade pendant, the old man was present, the jade pendant was not fake, and the promise was even more false, but if the old man is not mistaken, this jade pendant is a tribute from Liwan Kingdom.
When Gonggong Yan took the imperial study to the emperor, when the emperor saw this jade pendant, he felt that it was particularly suitable for the queen mother, and wanted to give the queen mother to play, and ordered the old minister who was in the imperial study room to go to this Changning Palace together, wanting to give the queen mother a great honor."
Old Prince Gu was talking unhurriedly like telling a story, just like a few confidants and friends reminiscing about the past, which was a little out of place with this tense atmosphere.
Xia Ji on the side couldn't hold back her emotions a little, and interrupted, "Lord Wang, what are you going to say, do you remember the past?" ", "Please also ask the Queen Mother to forgive her sins, this person is old, he just likes to recall the past, and he talks a lot, he really wants to serve the old", Gu Lao Houye bent down slightly, and said with a pun on Xia Ji's guilt.
Old Prince Gu straightened up suddenly, his hands naturally hung down at his sides, a pair of eyes stared straight at Xia Ji, looking at Xia Ji's eyes as if they would shoot out an ice blade, and the aura around him became completely different from just now, a feeling of wind and thunder without being frightened, and a group of demons were chaotic and not afraid.
"When the emperor gave the ice pear plate phoenix jade to the queen mother, the emperor said that the queen Xia, who helped me to earthquake disaster, and gave birth to Lin'er, which attracted the mercy of the heavens, and the heavens rained down to save the people of the Ying Dynasty from suffering, I gave this jade pendant to the queen in front of the harem concubines and important ministers of the court, and promised that those who hold this jade pendant can get a promise from me or the future kings of the Ying Dynasty."
"Old Prince Gu has said so much, the emperor should understand, do you know how to do it?" Xia Ji turned to look at the Flame Emperor, walked towards the Flame Emperor step by step, and said mercilessly.
Although Emperor Yan is a king, he is a child in front of Xia Ji, and he looks a little nervous in the face of Xia Ji's step-by-step pressing, but he can't lose the face of the king, so he is so stiff.
And the two juniors standing on the side were not much better, even Gu Yanting, who had always been cold on weekdays, was inevitably a little apprehensive, not to mention Mo Chengbei, who couldn't sink in the first place, was forced by Xia Ji's momentum to dare not look directly, and looked at Old Prince Gu with an unknown expression.
"Queen Mother, why are you so anxious, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten what you said at the time!" As soon as Old Prince Gu said that the peak was transferred, the Flame Emperor found attachment in helplessness.
"Then dare to ask the queen mother, how to thank my father for his love at that time", no matter how the expedition is imperative, there will never be any mistakes, even if it offends the queen mother. The Flame Emperor raised his eyes and looked directly at Xia Ji, the uneasiness just now disappeared at this time, and the emperor's momentum was fully displayed.
Xia Ji was a little speechless by such a question, and for a while, she could only look at the Flame Emperor coldly, unable to deal with it. I just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Old Prince Gu.
"The old minister dared to answer the emperor's doubts for the mother, when the mother took the jade pendant and said to the emperor, the concubine will live up to the emperor's high expectations, make good use of this jade pendant for the emperor to help take care of the harem affairs, do not let the emperor worry about the harem affairs, have more energy for the benefit of the people, the first emperor returned, after this virtuous, I am blessed, this jade is worthy of the degree."
Old Prince Gu said and walked towards Xia Ji, and his momentum was unstoppable. "This jade pendant is not involved in the country, the expedition is still a state affair, and the state affairs are decided by the emperor of the dynasty, and the harem cannot interfere in politics." The three of them stood on three legs and looked at each other, and the momentum around them was like a grandeur, shocking in all directions. Mo Chengbei on the side looked at Gu Yanting, who was quite calm beside him, for comfort.
"Mourning the family, asking for his son", "I am the emperor", Emperor Yan decisively blocked Xia Ji's words, at this time he couldn't take care of so much, even if it was a biological mother and son, it was impossible to interfere in politics in the harem.
"Is it wrong for the mourning family to protect their children?" "That's right, but the courtiers need the emperor, the people need the emperor even more, and the emperor is also protecting his 'children'."
"Only if my children are good can I bless the people of the world", "The emperor has Mo Chengbei and Gu Yanting to protect him, and there are 100,000 troops to follow ......", "Should these two children take risks?" Xia Ji pointed at Mo Chengbei and Gu Yanting and said.
"This is what they should do as courtiers, just like the emperor." Emperor Yan and Old Prince Gu said this to me, forcing Xia Ji to retreat one after another, and she was furious. "Okay, good, good ......, the mourning family will use this jade pendant to manage family affairs today."
Xia Ji turned around and walked towards the seat, her tone was lonely, and her back looked very sad, which made Emperor Yan feel a little soft-hearted, and wanted to go up to help Xia Ji, Emperor Yan knew in his heart that what Xia Ji did today was all for his son, and he was afraid that his son would be in danger.
But this time forward, the expedition is bound to run aground, he must not do this, for Xia Ji's debt can only be made up for in the future, Emperor Yan just hid his guilty heart and stopped his body that had advanced slightly.
