Chapter Seventy-Nine: Concubine Guo's Thoughts
Concubine Guo's brows furrowed deeply, "As long as this dispute can be settled, it is not impossible for my palace to pay a price." ”
When the words fell, many officials frowned.
"The prince has not been buried yet, and I am thinking about paying the price for peace, what face is standing on this small court?" The person who spoke was Zhao Wanjin, the head of the household department of the Southern Dynasty.
Concubine Guo was a little annoyed in her heart, the weight of Zhao Wanjin's words was not small, in the entire Southern Dynasty, he was deeply trusted by Ye Xiong.
With Zhao Wanjin taking the lead, everyone's courage gradually increased.
Zhou Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and spoke at this time, "What Lord Zhao said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The old minister seconded the proposal."
…
For a time, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty directly opposed Concubine Guo's views.
Concubine Guo's face was very ugly, and her tone was also a little cold, "Since you don't want to fight with the imperial court, then you will follow you, but although I am a woman, I am not bullied." ”
"From now on, I will take charge of the Southern Dynasty, and I will handle all the big and small affairs in the Southern Dynasty."
The words fell, and the court fell silent again.
Zhao Wanjin raised his eyebrows, in fact, the ministers had long thought that Concubine Guo would come out to act as the government, and they thought that she would shirk it, but they didn't expect it to be so direct.
Zhao Wanjin spoke again, "I agree that Concubine Guo will temporarily take charge of the government, and wait for His Royal Highness the prince to return, and then return the government to the prince." ”
The officials are all human spirits, and when they heard this, they instantly understood where the greasy was.
Lord Zhao directly blocked Concubine Guo's way.
He only agreed to Concubine Guo temporarily taking charge of the government.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
…
There was another burst of openings.
Concubine Guo looked at Zhao Wanjin below, her eyes were full of fire, and she wanted to kill him.
This man is simply unreasonable.
The court meeting dispersed, and the civil and military officials of the Southern Dynasty had a smile on their faces.
For Concubine Guo's request, they naturally couldn't fully agree.
Even if she was the most favored concubine of the prince during his lifetime.
They did not want to leave a bad name in the history books in the future.
At the court meeting, everyone also confirmed the time of the prince's burial, which was set three days later.
This is a bit rushed, but since Concubine Guo has asked for it at the moment, they still have to agree to this, and they can't save face with everything.
In the depths of the palace, Concubine Guo's face was still not very good-looking.
In front of her, a young general was enjoying a fine tea.
Concubine Guo glanced at him, and then said in a deep voice: "Today's matter, why don't you stand up and express your support for me?" ”
The young general put down the teacup and looked at her with a smile on his face, "I don't know what Concubine Guo is referring to?" ”
When Concubine Guo saw that she was pretending to be dead, she was even more angry, so she simply turned her head and sulked.
The young general refilled a cup of tea by himself, "Concubine Guo, you are too anxious, as Zhao Wanjin said, the prince's bones are not cold, you want to deny the prince's decision before his death, and make peace with the court." ”
"How can you make many officials, especially military generals, stop, in the future history books, one of them will be counted as one, and all of them will have to be recorded as disloyal and unjust."
Concubine Guo's face changed, and she turned her head, "Is it so serious?" ”
The young general's brows furrowed slightly, and the hands that wanted to serve tea were stunned in mid-air.
He looked at Concubine Guo, and the two looked at each other.
The general nodded, "It's even more serious than that." ”
Concubine Guo's face showed a sudden look, "No wonder they are willing to turn their faces directly with me." ”
A look of confusion then appeared on her face, "Then what do you think my top priority should be now?" ”
The young general drank the tea from his cup again, and his face showed a sense of enjoyment.
I don't know why the more he drank it, the more he liked it, the tea tasted slightly astringent, and it turned around in his mouth, and soon after swallowing it, it had an endless aftertaste.
It's not a feeling that drinks can bring.
Concubine Guo's brows furrowed slightly, "If you like to drink tea so much, when you leave later, I'll let the scary people wrap some for you." ”
"I don't like to drink it on weekdays, this was originally reserved for the prince to drink, but now that the prince is no longer alive, it's useless to keep it."
When the general heard this, he stood up and bent down to Concubine Guo and arched his hand, "In that case, the last general thanked Concubine Guo for the reward." ”
Concubine Guo waved her hand and motioned for him to sit down, "You don't need to be so respectful here, you have to understand that you and I are grasshoppers on a rope." ”
"If I can stay in power, your family and you will definitely have a smooth sail in the Southern Dynasty."
"But if I fall, it will be extremely difficult for a young general like you in the Southern Dynasty to come out, and your family will not have much strength."
"You are now the commander of the palace, and you have real power in the official residence, which is just a promise I made to you when I just took power."
After Concubine Guo said this, her eyes looked at him deeply.
His words that seemed to be advice but were actually warnings, I hope the young general can listen to them.
The general smiled, "Concubine Guo, don't worry, I naturally understand what to do." ”
"I can have today, and it is thanks to Concubine Guo's support, otherwise I would still be just a small general in the local city."
Guo Fei nodded, "You can understand best, then can you answer my question just now?" ”
The young general spoke in a suppressed voice, "Don't forget that you are only in power for a while and not all the time. ”
"I know your thoughts, and the civil and military officials also know your thoughts, so the most important thing for Concubine Guo at the moment should be to prevent His Royal Highness the Prince from returning to the Southern Dynasty."
"If something goes wrong too late and you want to make up for it, you're in trouble."
Concubine Guo frowned deeply, "What you said makes sense, I should send someone to the north immediately, if I can get rid of that kid, it will naturally be the best." ”
The general shook his head and looked at Concubine Guo as she spoke, "Don't do this, if the operation fails, and His Royal Highness the Prince catches the handle and returns to the Southern Dynasty, your situation will become even more difficult." ”
Concubine Guo hurriedly spoke, "Then what should I do?" ”
The general smiled, and then said, "There are two most appropriate methods at the moment, one is to find His Highness, and hurriedly reveal his traces to the Jia Dynasty, so that the Jia Dynasty army can surround and kill him, which is to kill people with a knife." ”
"The second is to order an army to go north to find the prince, but in fact, let them find His Highness and kill him, this is not tired of deceit."
When Concubine Guo heard this, her face fell into contemplation, and after a while she asked again, "I wonder which of the two methods the general thinks is more appropriate?" ”
The young general smiled, "If you want to make a good name without making a difference, it is naturally the second type." ”
"First of all, the entire Southern Dynasty will feel that you, as a mother, attach great importance to His Royal Highness the Prince, and secondly, the whole army will personally besiege and kill the Prince, and then it will naturally be very certain, and there will be no other disputes."
Concubine Guo nodded, "You're right, but which general should I let lead the troops north?" ”
The young general smiled, "There's a guy in the north right now. ”
