Chapter 84: King Rui

The eldest princess sighed and said, "Then how did the emperor decide the two things I reported just now?"

"What's the matter?"

The eldest princess looked so angry that she was about to vomit blood, barely suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and admonished: "Your Majesty, please pay attention, otherwise how can I be worthy of the emperor's entrustment." ”

"Father asked the imperial aunt to assist me in governing the government, you have already done a good job, why are you under so much pressure?" The emperor said as if the eldest princess had asked too much, which made the eldest princess angry.

Seeing his aunt's almost green face, the emperor hurriedly sat up and said, "I was thinking about the war situation in the north just now, but I didn't hear it clearly, please ask the imperial aunt to say it again." ”

The eldest princess could not easily expose the fact that the emperor was distracted, so she had to repeat: "First of all, after the rat demon rebellion a few years ago, the grain harvest was not good, and the vitality of the common people was greatly damaged.......

"This has been handed over to King Rui to negotiate with the ministries. ”

"Your Majesty, the relationship between the people's livelihood and the people's livelihood is a fundamental matter of the country, how can this matter be handed over to King Rui? ”

"I believe in him. ”

“......”

"Doesn't the imperial aunt believe him?"

“......”

"What's the second thing?"

The eldest princess sighed and took out a book: "This book, what does the emperor plan to do?"

"This book again?!"

"Yes, it's this book again. ”

"It's forbidden. ”

“......”

Looking at the eldest princess's helpless appearance, the emperor also pouted: "Don't say I don't care, I have banned it many times." Why is it that someone keeps printing it privately? Is this book so good-looking?"

"Should the emperor send a secret guard to find out who this Wenhua is? Dare to insinuate and slander the emperor in such a way, so that the people of the world can misunderstand the emperor! And this Sun daughter, is there really such a person in the cold palace or even the harem?" the eldest princess asked.

The emperor didn't care, and said with a very hearty smile: "It's just a down-and-out literati who deliberately made up his life, right? Why bother, if I check it more carefully, wouldn't it be more confirmed by this fact?"

The eldest princess frowned: "But, how do I remember that eight or nine years ago, the emperor did bring a folk girl of unknown origin back to the palace, and you pampered her for a while?"

"Yes? I don't remember. ”

After thinking about it, the eldest princess said: "Your Majesty, the world is watching the excitement with this book, thinking that everything in the book is true, and thinking that you are a ridiculous and unscrupulous king, mainly because of ...... The back position is empty!"

"Imperial aunt, dear aunt, shall we not mention this stubble?" replied, pressing his temple.

"Your Majesty, you are not small......"

The emperor rolled his eyes and shouted, "Ahem...... Xiao Jingzi, Xuan Imperial Doctor! I have a headache, no, I have a cold, my throat hurts! ”

The shrill voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door: "Yes-"

The eldest princess shook her head and turned away.

The little eunuch saw the eldest princess turn and go away, so he entered the imperial study and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, are you still proclaiming?"

"What do you say?" the emperor raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Jingzi was very clever and stopped talking. The emperor always used the trick of pretending to be sick to deal with the eldest princess's urging to marry. Why bother? Marry a queen, Xiao Jingzi can't understand.

"Help me call Sun Dong, the head of the Imperial Forest Army, to come over. "The emperor commanded.

"Yes. When Xiao Jingzi retreated, he was still muttering in his heart, in addition to government affairs, the emperor likes to have a little fun everywhere, sometimes he goes out with distant cousins such as King Zheng and King Zhao, and sometimes studies martial arts with the head Sun Dong, but rarely with the serious and cold King Rui. However, the emperor must be the most trusting of King Rui, and likes to hand over all matters in the court to King Rui.

In the evening, Rui Wang's Mansion.

A young man in his twenties with a frosty face was unkemptly tied to the jade crown, his facial features were as neat as a knife carving, and he was looking through the six pieces of music that had been sent, but he did not approve them.

The woman in the hooded trench coat walked in, looked at everything in front of her, and asked, "Did he even let you approve the fold?"

"The eldest princess. The young man stood up and saluted respectfully.

"King Rui. ”

King Rui made a gesture of "please sit down", and when he saw the eldest princess seated, he asked, "Why are you here?"

"When I came, I wanted to ask the emperor about it. ”

"What's wrong with the emperor?" King Rui was puzzled.

"You also know, that folk book has seriously affected the emperor's image, and people privately talk about the emperor as a faint king who robbed the people's daughters......"

"The emperor is just lazy, not faint. ”

"Yes, how could he rob the people's daughters? He is almost thirty, not only does he have no queen, but there are few women in the harem, and he does not have a son and a half daughter. The eldest princess said.

"That's true. ”

"So, what I want to know is, why did he put back the matter of his confrontation? King Rui, you grew up with him, maybe there are some things that are inconvenient to say to elders like me, but to your peers, you will never hide it, right?"

King Rui's brows furrowed: "What does the eldest princess mean?" ”

“...... Now, apart from you brothers, he especially likes to summon a few strategists and the head of the Imperial Forest Army named Sun Dong. Lowering her voice, the eldest princess asked.

"Many years ago, the emperor did bring a folk girl into the harem, and it seems that he was also pampered, and then there were always two nobles, although I don't know why there is nothing, maybe I don't covet women, but it shouldn't be what you think. King Rui replied.

"Then why not make a queen?"

"I don't know. However, he has few women in his harem, and the queen mother is also young, so she can help manage the harem. ”

"Don't mention that woman to me, the bearded girl from the northwest border, is actually blue-eyed, lowly status, I don't know how to hook up with the emperor, gave birth to a prince, and passed on a pair of blue eyes to our saint, and now she has become the most noble woman in our Dajin country. The eldest princess said angrily.

"You are the most powerful woman in our country, and the emperors have relied on you to help the emperor manage the country. Rui Wang said, although cold, but not sycophant, but just stating the facts.

The eldest princess knew, nodded, and then asked, "The person who wrote the notebook, do you want to check it?"

What is there to check, he would print and ban books so unimpeded, and it wasn't someone who instructed others to help? King Rui thought to himself, but didn't say anything.

King Rui's coldness made it difficult for people to answer anything, and the eldest princess whispered: "Everything I have done is for you. ”

Ruiwang was noncommittal. In front of the emperor, who is it for maintaining the appearance of a good aunt who is enthusiastic and assisting?

"That...... Don't talk about the emperor, why haven't you married? Didn't King Wu urge you?" asked the eldest princess with a frown. King Wu is the father of King Rui, the emperor's cousin, and the cousin of the eldest princess.

"I have my own plans for marriage. King Rui replied that his father was far away in the territory, and he couldn't care about him, a son who was in the imperial capital with a higher rank than himself.

Seeing King Rui's indifferent appearance, the eldest princess had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go...... When I got back, I had to send someone to find out where he had the amulet. ”

King Rui nodded and said, "Greet General Zhennan for me." "General Zhennan is the husband of the eldest princess.

Obviously it's nothing, but I always feel that it doesn't sound like a taste, and the eldest princess nodded hesitantly.
