Chapter 183: Dark Tide Surging (2)
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face sank suddenly, and there was a gloomy look on her face, Emperor Dehui put down the teacup, leaned back lazily, and said leisurely: "I just let Zuo Xiang review these folds for the first time, and dispose of some trivial matters and some irrelevant excerpts. As the minister of the humerus, it is his duty to share my worries, and I feel that there is nothing wrong with it. β
The Queen Mother's eyebrows tightened, and the more she listened to it, the more ugly her face became, and finally she couldn't help but say aggressively: "As the emperor is the king of a country, the affairs of the state are related to the country, and how can there be trivialities?!" It is the emperor's responsibility to deal with the government and approve the recitals, so how can he allow others to do it for him? ! β
However, Emperor Dehui seemed to turn a deaf ear to the Empress Dowager's harsh words, and still said in a casual tone: "As long as Eli Sheji, why not? β
Seeing that Emperor Dehui still looked indifferent, the Queen Mother's eyes froze, and the anger in her heart instantly jumped upwards and rushed straight to her head, as if the next moment, she was about to overflow her eyes.
Just when she was about to have a seizure, she heard Emperor Dehui suddenly chuckle and said: "Although the queen mother is in the harem, hasn't she always been worried about the affairs of the court. β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was suddenly stunned, looked at Emperor Dehui in disbelief, and asked with a trembling lip: "Is the emperor accusing the mourning family of interfering in court affairs?" β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the consternation in her eyes instantly turned into a red flame, and then pointed at Emperor Dehui angrily, and said in a fierce voice: "Over the years, the emperor has neglected the desolation of politics and indulged in wine, and even the number of times he went to the court was only a handful. If it weren't for the mourning family's efforts to win over the ministers for you, how could you sit firmly in the world? If it weren't for the mourning family guarding the ancestral inheritance for you, I am afraid that the power has long been lost, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of Nanling? β
The Queen Mother trembled with anger, glaring at the son in front of her who had done her best to support the upper position, and felt sad in her heart, "What the mourning family has done, which one is not thinking about the emperor, and which one is not thinking about the foundation of Nanling for hundreds of years?" But in the end, the emperor not only did not listen to the advice, insisted on delegating power to the left minister, and allowed the ministers to mess with the government, but also accused the mourning family of meddling in the affairs of the court! β
In the face of the Queen Mother's aggressive questioning, Emperor Dehui's eyes were obviously a little more impatient, and he frowned slightly: "How can I ever accuse the queen mother of interfering in politics, why should the queen mother be angry?" Although the society is important, the joy of fish and water is also human nature. Besides, the left minister is dedicated to the country, and he is the purlin of the country, but he is just asked to share some government affairs for me, why did he become a minister in the mouth of the queen mother? β
The Queen Mother listened to Emperor Dehui's ridiculous remarks, and her forehead jumped with anger, it seems that the emperor is determined to protect the Hua family, even if she is angry at the moment, she can only grit her teeth and hold this breath in her heart. She knew that the emperor was deeply bewitched by the Hua family's father and daughter, and if she forced her to speak again, she was afraid that she would completely ruin the relationship between their mother and son, but instead fell into the Hua family's divisive plan, and finally let the Hua family get what they wanted.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother had to suppress the anger in her heart, eased her complexion, and said bitterly: "The mourning family just hopes that the emperor can put more of his mind on political affairs, don't indulge in wine every day, and be happy, at least the early dynasty must be there in person, so that the ministers can know who is the lord of the world." Only by making them fearful can they be jealous. β
"The queen mother's words are wrong, is it possible that they will not recognize me as a monarch if I don't go to court?" Emperor Dehui's eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth hooked up a contemptuous smile, and his eyes were undisguised disdain and ruthlessness, "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, if they dare to be disrespectful to me, I will take off their heads, what is the difficulty?" β
The Queen Mother's eyebrows twisted, and she was about to refute it, but she saw Emperor Dehui pressing her eyebrows impatiently, "It's not that I don't want to go to the court, it's really that those ministers are both verbose and annoying, and they have to discuss a trivial matter for an hour or two, and they are drowsy when they hear it, but as soon as they look for a solution, they are long and have nothing to say." I go to the court every day to listen to their nonsense, but it is better to stay in the palace and still be quiet. β
Quiet? When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but feel ridiculous, and a little sadness suddenly appeared on her face. What kind of virtue is her son, she doesn't know, the emperor is immersed in the wine pond and meat forest every day, drunk and dreaming of death, how can he ever have half a point of peace? His high-sounding remarks were just an excuse for his stupidity and incompetence.
The Queen Mother suddenly felt her heart blocked, but out of her understanding of Emperor Dehui, she still patiently advised: "What is the trivial matter of allowing the courtiers to perform in the court?" As the king of a country, if he can't even control the court, how can he manage the world? The Emperor is self-reliantβ"
"The Queen Mother." Before the Queen Mother could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Emperor Dehui.
His gaze slowly stared towards the Queen Mother, the corners of his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to suppress a thin anger, and there was a little more coldness in his eyes, "I am here to visit the Queen Mother, not to discuss political affairs with the Queen Mother." If the queen mother is preoccupied with government affairs, then I will not bother the queen mother. β
Emperor Dehui said that, and was about to get up, but he heard the Queen Mother laugh sadly, and said to himself: "Good, good, very good...... Now that the emperor has full wings, he no longer needs me as the queen mother. β
The Queen Mother looked at the increasingly strange son in front of her, and felt cold in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh faintly, with a sadness in her eyes.
Emperor Dehui looked at the Queen Mother fixedly, her expression was dark, and there seemed to be something hidden in the depths of her eyes, which was indistinguishable.
After a while, I saw him close his eyes, his eyebrows seemed to turn a little spring, and he bent his lips and said, "Why did the queen mother say this?" I just wish I could gossip more with my mother. β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but be a little moved, but then she looked at her and said, "The mourning family will not discuss state affairs with the emperor today, let's talk about family life." β
The queen mother spoke, picked up the tea cup on the side, moistened her mouthpiece, and then slowly spoke: "Last night, the palace was attacked, and the concubines in the harem were either frightened or in a mess, only the queen cared about the emperor, and in the middle of the night, she had to accompany the emperor regardless of her own safety, but the emperor left the queen alone in the palace to take care of the harem affairs, and went to Qionghua Palace with the guards. Did the emperor ever worry about the Empress's safety? β
As soon as the Queen Mother spoke, Emperor Dehui's gaze darkened, as if something quietly crossed from the bottom of his eyes, and then disappeared.
"It seems that the queen has come to visit the queen mother." After hearing this, Emperor Dehui narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his fingertips lightly on the desk, and said with a smile, "The queen mother is too worried, although I have taken away the close guards, but my Dragon Yin Hall is guarded by forbidden troops inside and out, what danger will the queen have?" Besides, as the head of the six palaces, it is within the queen's duty to manage the harem for me, since she still has the energy to toss in the middle of the night, then I let her do her duty as a queen, what's wrong? β
