Chapter 399: Deliberation
The young Emperor Jingyuan had a solemn face on his face, if he drove several imperial uncles to the fiefdom, how should the world evaluate himself?
"Emperor, if you want to become the emperor of the ages, you can't be soft-hearted. The Empress Dowager said with a warning.
"I know that this matter is still decided after I think about it. ”
Emperor Jingyuan walked casually in the palace, and there were no concubines in the harem for the time being, so it seemed empty.
"Your Majesty, in front of you is the Queen Mother's bedroom, do you want to go in and sit down. The attendant beside him asked.
Gonggong Hong went to the cemetery with Emperor Xuanhua to guard the tomb, and the person next to Emperor Jingyuan was the person who came out of the prince's mansion with him, and understood His Majesty's intentions, knowing that he was in a heavy mood after talking to the Empress Dowager today, and he was trying his best to amuse him in his mind.
"Okay, let's go in and see the concubine. Emperor Jing Yuan raised his feet and walked towards the Empress Dowager's palace.
The Empress Dowager Tang, who received the news, was already waiting at the entrance of the palace, and after seeing people, she asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Without waiting for Emperor Jing Yuan to speak, he then instructed the people around him: "You go down and bring a three-yuan soup to Your Majesty." ”
looked at Emperor Jing Yuan and said: "It hasn't been much since you sat on the throne, how can you feel so thin, and you have to pay attention to your body when you are busy with official business." ”
Empress Dowager Tang kept babbling, and Emperor Jing Yuan did not have a trace of impatience, but felt a lot calmer in his heart.
When Emperor Jingyuan drank the soup into his stomach, he hesitated and said, "Today, the imperial grandmother proposed to let the imperial uncles return to their respective fiefdoms. ”
When Empress Dowager Tang heard this, she was even very happy with herself, but when she saw Emperor Jingyuan's face was gloomy, she asked, "Doesn't Your Majesty want to take them back?"
"During the reign of the emperor's grandfather, he never drove the imperial uncles to the fiefdom, and I began to dare to dare the imperial uncles when I succeeded to the throne, lest future generations leave me with infamy. ”
"Is it only for this reason that Your Majesty disagrees?"
"I just didn't think about whether or not to let them go. ”
"If you become an emperor of the ages, not only is you diligent and intelligent, but also has the means, Your Majesty is too soft-hearted. ”
"Does the Queen Mother want me to do the same?"
"The Queen Mother only wants you to stay out of danger, and if someone threatens His Majesty's throne, the Queen Mother feels that it is necessary to nip them in the bud. Empress Dowager Tang said meaningfully.
"I know, let the queen rest, I go out for a walk. ”
Today's Emperor Jing Yuan is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and his figure is slender in the dim light.
Grandfather Huang, what would you do if you were there? Would you also approve of me sending a few imperial uncles to the fief? Could it be that being an emperor is ultimately just the fate of a lonely family?
The young Emperor Jingyuan had an indescribable melancholy, he knew in his heart that the imperial grandmother was for his own good, and if he allowed a few imperial uncles to be in the capital, he would not be too secure on the throne.
Especially the second emperor uncle Xiao Xinrong, the second emperor uncle was relieved of the military power, these are just expedient measures, the second emperor uncle is very powerful in the palace, even if there is no military power, he is a popular figure, how can such a powerful person sleep next to his pillow, Emperor Jing Yuan tried hard to convince himself in his heart.
Wang Ge Lao pinched a letter in his hand, hesitated for a moment and presented it, and Emperor Jingyuan read it and transferred it to the Empress Dowager.
When Emperor Jingyuan went to the court, the empress dowager appeared in the court openly under the name of His Majesty's young age.
When he went to court for the first time, there was a lot of opposition to the ministers, and it was not until Emperor Jingyuan sent down a few of the most powerful shouts that everyone shut up.
The ministers saw that Emperor Jingyuan supported the Empress Dowager so much, so they had to follow the holy will, fortunately, the Empress Dowager was not too involved in the government affairs, but Emperor Jingyuan would always encounter thorny problems and consult the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that Emperor Jingyuan handed this letter to the Queen Mother, some people were already beating drums in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.
"Wang Ge Lao, please invite a few adult princes to return to their fiefdoms, and you can talk about it. Seeing that the Empress Dowager finished reading the recital, Emperor Jing Yuan spoke.
Some people were surprised, some people were surprised, some people objected in their hearts, His Royal Highness Jin Luan suddenly screamed, and the noise was endless.
Wechen objected. "The first to come out is Tong Yingwang.
"Why is Tong Bianxiu opposed?" asked Emperor Jing Yuan.
"The first emperor has just become immortal, isn't it too ruthless to drive a few princes back to the fiefdom?"
The minister did not agree with what Tong Editing's words. ”
Tang Juntong came out and said: "All kings have fiefs, and the princes should return to the fiefs when they become adults, which is also the rule left by the first emperors. ”
The minister seconded. Wang Ge Lao finally couldn't help but walk out, and said with a heavy heart: "The example of the anti-king not long ago is a living lesson, if you leave all the princes in Kyoto, you will not be afraid of sudden changes!"
This sentence is said that no one below dares to intercede, lest he have a reputation for bad intentions.
Xiao Xinge soon received the news, and Xiahou Shuang waited for him to read the secret letter and asked, "Brother Chun, what's wrong?"
Xiao Xinge said apologetically to Xiahou Shuang with a cold face: "Shuang'er, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to the palace." ”
"What's going on?" asked Xiahou Shuang, taken aback.
"Someone has already played, let our princes follow the rules set by our ancestors, and the princes who have already married will return to their fiefdoms. ”
"Has Your Majesty already agreed?" asked Xiahou Shuang with uneasiness.
"That's not true, but I didn't object to it, but I just left it in the middle. "Staying in China explained that it was under consideration, and both of them understood that Emperor Jingyuan would agree to this matter sooner or later.
"I have long expected this day, but I am just going to wronged your mother and son, and I will be afraid to go all the way to thousands of miles away. The more Xiao Xinrong spoke, the more guilty he felt.
Since Xiahou Shuang married into the palace, the queen mother did not like it because she did not suffer less, she thought that she could ascend the throne, and then she would not be looking at anyone's face, but she didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, and his father actually passed the throne to his grandson.
was originally the elder of the grandson, but now he has to bow and grovel when he sees him, which is indescribably awkward, not to mention that the queen mother regarded Shuang'er as a thorn in her side because of her niece, and now she is even more unscrupulous in suppressing Shuang'er in public in the palace.
Xiao Xinrong felt that it was the biggest mistake that he didn't fight for the throne in the first place, if he was a newcomer, he would definitely have to put away this temper and get the throne first.
Xiahou Shuang looked at Xiao Xinrong's unspeakable discomfort in his heart, he was a dignified man, a brave and resourceful prince in the court, and he repeatedly quarreled with the first emperor for himself, and he missed the throne.
Emperor Jingyuan, who was originally a junior, directly stepped down from Brother Chun's military power after ascending the throne, turning this once amazing and brilliant generation of heroes into an idle prince.
