Chapter 256: For the sake of the country
Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are traveling on behalf of the emperor for the first time, and in the face of the heads of the major families, the courtiers have no bottom in their hearts, for their own safety, they want to bring a team of soldiers from Qianniuwei to protect the safety of the courtiers, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”
When the emperor heard this, the Qianniuwei soldiers were Chu Chenyuan's people, and he couldn't care about it at all.
Since Yun Sheng asked, she was willing to take it, so he pushed the boat down the river and fell into favors.
"Okay!" The emperor solved a major matter, and he was indeed happy in his heart, and said, "Even if Miss Yun Er doesn't say it, I have to send someone to protect Miss Yun Er, since Miss Yun Er is willing to use the soldiers of Qianniuwei, that is their blessing!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yun Shengtian continued, "The courtiers are a woman, they have never been far away, if they are deceived, their life and death are trivial matters, and they can't complete the mission handed over by the emperor, and they delay the major affairs of the country, so it's the courtiers' no."
For the sake of the country's social welfare, he also asked the emperor to appoint a weighty minister to accompany the courtiers.
The emperor can rest assured, this errand has been done well, and the credit is all the deputy envoy's, and if something goes wrong, the courtiers will bear it! ”
This?
The ministers glanced at each other.
Who doesn't know that the soldiers of Qianniuwei only obey the regent, and now they only obey the cloud saint.
Really went wrong, let Yun Sheng bear the burden, the soldiers of the Thousand Niu Guard, still have to chop them into pulp?
As for the credit, they felt that this trip, except for Yun Shengtian who could make some reputation, none of them would be able to reap any benefits from following them.
What's more, after discussing it before, after Yun Shengtian set off, he waited for Situ Lan to take the bait, followed Yun Shengtian, and helped Yun Shengtian get the grain, grass and military salary.
No matter how bad it is, what Situ Lan has in his hand is silver, as long as Situ Lan is in front of Miss Yun Er, with Miss Yun Er's means, he is still worried that Situ Lan's silver will not be able to get it?
Everyone glanced at each other, remembered that the person who proposed to let Situ Lan follow was Prime Minister Zuo, so they set their eyes on Prime Minister Zuo.
Prime Minister Zuo was scolded by Yun Sheng just now, and he had long forgotten to discuss it in advance, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he remembered it.
"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Zuo took a step forward, "The minister has a proposal!" ”
"Say!" The emperor saw that Prime Minister Zuo was very involved in acting, and immediately cooperated.
"The minister thinks it is very appropriate to invite the prince of Situ Mansion as the deputy envoy and cooperate with Miss Yun Er to go to the major families!"
This was under the gathering of several ministers who secretly defected to Chu Chenyuan, and they tried their best to ask Prime Minister Zuo to push Situ Lan out.
The Emperor said, "Tell me why! ”
The emperor and Prime Minister Zuo sang and harmonized, and according to what was agreed in advance, Situ Lan was implicated.
Don't you know, this is exactly what Chu Chenyuan and Yun Shengtian discussed in advance, and the two of them still think that Yun Shengtian is quite easy to fool.
"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Zuo said very seriously, "Situ Gongzi and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent are cousins, and he has been supporting His Royal Highness the Prince Regent all these years, so he will not watch Miss Yun Er be ordered in danger.
Besides, Situ Gongzi has been in business for many years and has accumulated rich experience in dealing with people, and with Miss Yun Er, he will definitely do his best to assist Miss Yun Er and complete the tasks assigned by the emperor. ”
In fact, when they were talking in private, some people said that Situ Lan liked Yun Shengtian in his heart, and this time he forced Yun Shengtian to repay his debts in the regent palace, and I am afraid that he also had an idea about Yun Shengtian, and wanted to take advantage of this time to ask Yun Shengtian to bow his head and marry him.
This is also the reason why they feel that Situ Lan can take over the errand of deputy envoy.
At this time, these private words, of course, could not be said in front of Yun Shengtian.
Their fear that Yun Sheng would turn his face and throw off the stall was only one of the reasons, and more importantly, they were afraid that Yun Sheng would give them a handful of poisonous powder.
The emperor nodded, "Prime Minister Zuo's proposal is very good, I don't know if Miss Yun Er may accept Situ Gongzi as a deputy envoy and go with Miss Yun Er?" ”
"Well...... Yun Sheng paused, "Situ Gongzi is a merchant, and his identity is probably not worthy of accepting the emperor's gift." ”
"Miss Yun Er, I don't understand!" Prime Minister Zuo kindly explained, "As long as the emperor is willing, don't say that it's just a businessman, it's a repeat offense in the court, and it's not a matter of the emperor's words?" ”
Yun Sheng glanced at him, "So it can still be like this?" No wonder people with ulterior motives want to be emperors, it turns out that being an emperor can turn his hands into clouds and rain with his hands, and even repeat offenders in the court can be officials, so Situ Gongzi is indeed qualified. ”
The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Zuo fiercely, and shut up without speaking.
The emperor hurriedly said, "Miss Yun Er misunderstood, how could I let the imperial court repeat offenders and increase officials to the knighthood, and Prime Minister Zuo is just an analogy!" ”
Prime Minister Zuo also realized that he had said the wrong thing, took a step back, and didn't dare to say more.
"What the emperor meant, the courtiers understand, that is, Situ Gongzi is fully qualified to be the deputy envoy of the courtiers?" Yun Shengtian looked at the emperor, word by word, and said it clearly.
It's not acting, who wouldn't.
The emperor nodded, "It's just that I sent people to look for Situ Gongzi, but there is no one to see so far, I don't know if Miss Yun Er knows where Situ Gongzi is now?" ”
"What's this?" Yun Sheng raised his face, "The courtiers don't know. ”
The emperor's face suddenly darkened, if Situ Lan couldn't be the deputy envoy and set off with Yun Shengtian, the right deputy envoy candidate would be really difficult to deal with.
Yun Shengtian continued, "Since the emperor is optimistic about Situ Gongzi, then post a notice on the matter of conferring an official position on Situ Gongzi and make it public."
If Situ Gongzi can see the notice and cooperate with the courtiers to go to the major families in time, then Situ Gongzi can also be regarded as sharing worries for the country and contributing to the society, and will return to the court in the future, even if the emperor asks Situ Gongzi to stand at the foot of the steps as a minister, it will be well deserved.
If Situ Gongzi didn't see the notice, or if he saw the notice, and didn't cooperate with the courtiers to complete the emperor's mission, then Situ Gongzi wouldn't blame the emperor for turning his face ruthlessly and erasing Situ Gongzi's official position.
I don't know if the emperor thinks that the courtiers say this, and they may accept it? ”
The emperor sent Situ Lan to follow Yun Shengtian, firstly, in order to let Situ Lan continue to provide food and grass and military salaries, and more importantly, he still wanted Yun Shengtian to set off quickly, he could wait, the Yuntian army at the border pass, and wait for a day, he would lose a lot of soldiers.
He can't afford it!
"Okay!" The emperor made a decision, "Just do what Miss Yun Er said!" ”
The emperor pointed to a room full of ministers, "What's the use of me raising you?" Why don't you hurry up and go to the Emperor Taishang Spirit to repent! ”
The ministers hurriedly thanked him and walked out to guard the spirit of the emperor.
Prime Minister Zuo, who was walking at the end, was stopped by the emperor again, "Prime Minister Zuo stays!" ”
Prime Minister Zuo's legs and stomach trembled, he was not afraid that the emperor would send him on an errand, he was afraid that he would choke Yun Shengtian with a word and give him a handful of poisonous powder, he couldn't stand it.
At this time, the emperor was about to reuse Yun Shengtian, even if Yun Shengtian poisoned him, the emperor would not treat Yun Shengtian as anything, but he died in vain.
"What does the emperor command!" In the end, it was Prime Minister Zuo, who stabilized his mind and asked softly.
"Why don't Aiqing hurry up and send someone to post a notice to find Situ Gongzi? By the way, the holy decree of the deputy envoy of Situ Gongzi was prepared, and after seeing Situ Gongzi, he hurriedly issued it! "The emperor has a calm voice, you are becoming more and more unreliable in doing things.
"Yes! Go now! ”
Prime Minister Zuo hurried down.
Yun Shengtian also stood up, "Your Majesty, the courtiers will go back to the house, and wait for the emperor to arrange the entourage and the honor guard that should be there, and leave immediately." The courtiers retired first! ”
The emperor was already tired from sitting down, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Miss Yun Er will go back to the house and wait!" ”
Yun Sheng took a few steps back and turned to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the emperor's bedroom, the emperor was lying on the pillow all of a sudden.
This time, the queen mother and the imperial concubine had experience and knew that the emperor was tired, so they did not alarm the others, covered the emperor with a quilt, and sat in front of the bed together.
