The ministers were still thinking wildly, Xiao Xuan had already stepped out, kneeled on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Wei ministers lead the order."
The young man's voice was loud and bright, with vigor and vigor. This kind of vigor seemed to be something that hadn't been seen in the court of the Great Zhou for a long time.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "You don't live up to my expectations here, you must regain Guoguo, and I will allow you whatever you want when you come back."
Xiao Xuanlang said: "Weird ministers will live up to your majesty's entrustment." The young man was full of spirits, with a dazzling light, which made people unable to move their eyes.
The emperor said some words of encouragement, and suddenly there was a noisy voice outside. The emperor frowned, "What's the noise outside?"
The little yellow gate hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is here."
Queen Mother? The emperor's eyebrows furrowed tighter. He obviously blocked the news. Why did the queen mother come over so soon? The Queen Mother would never set foot in the court, and this trip must be for Xiao Xuan's business.
The emperor hurriedly got up and got off the square platform. The officials hurriedly avoided both sides, kneeling on both sides, and the emperor walked to the door.
The queen mother wore a bright yellow court dress. The dress was embroidered with five-claw golden dragons. On the front of her chest she hung Dongzhu and Chaozhu, giving her a calm atmosphere.
The Queen Mother walked slowly, walking into the hall step by step, without squinting her eyes, showing the royal majesty.
"Mother, why are you here?" The emperor greeted him.
The Queen Mother dressed up so solemnly, and the emperor suddenly felt a little flustered, especially when the queen mother had a soft smile on her face at this time, but there was no emotion in her eyes. The emperor and the queen mother, mother and son for so many years, naturally know that the queen mother is really moving.
"Why, I can't come?" the queen mother asked rhetorically.
Da Zhou not only did not restrict women's participation in political affairs, but also encouraged women to discuss politics, especially the queen mother is the mother of the emperor, and the queen is the wife of the emperor, and they are even more qualified to assist the emperor.
It's just that the queen dowager and the queen stayed in the deep palace for a long time, and they never asked about the affairs of the government. As time passed, the emperor would forget that it was normal for the queen dowager to appear at the Golden Luang Palace.
"Naturally not," said the emperor. "Since the son became the throne, the queen will never be the future, so the son is curious."
"Naturally you don't want me to come," the queen mother sneered, "I won't come, because Xuan'er went to the battlefield. The sword on the battlefield doesn't have eyes. If Xuan'er has any shortcomings, how will you make the Aijia face a hundred years later? Go to see your brother?"
"Grandma, don't worry, grandson will return triumphantly." Xiao Xuan added, patting his chest.
"I'm talking to your uncle, where can you interrupt?" The queen mother glared at Xiao Xuan. Although her tone was stern, it was not threatening to Xiao Xuan at all.
Xiao Xuan did not answer, and the emperor coughed slightly, "He is only responsible for commanding the troops, so naturally someone will protect him."
"Protection? It sounds good, just relying on the tens of thousands of people, it's like fighting against Guo country's elite soldiers? The family is not allowed. If you must let Xuan'er go to the battlefield, you can, but you have to allocate more people. With those tens of thousands of people alone, wanting to win Guoguo is nothing short of a dream."
"Queen, it's not that I don't want to call more people, it's really that Da Zhou can't call people now."
"Can't transfer people? Are you stupid when you are a mourner? Although the mourner doesn't care much about politics, the mourner has heard of the issue of the right to send troops to the public transport a few days ago. The police commander 200,000 soldiers, you Come tell Ai Jia, this
Where did you arrange the 200,000 troops? "
The queen mother was so aggressive that the emperor naturally couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said, "The minister there will allocate another 20,000 horses to Xuan'er."
"Twenty thousand? In the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Guo country, what use is it for you to give another 20,000? **The 200,000 horses out of the bus must be given at least half." The queen mother became increasingly disappointed with this son. .
Although the throne is tempting, and the desire for power can easily confuse people, it is really chilling to squander family affection in this way and not close to humanity.
The emperor wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Xuan, and he was willing to agree to the Queen Mother's request.
The empress dowager burst into tears, her fingers in the depths, and tremblingly pointed at the tip of the emperor's nose, "Your brother has such a little blood, Xiao Jue, if you still have a little brotherhood with your brother, you will agree to the request of Laijia."
In the impression of the emperor, the queen mother has always been calm and calm. She is not strong, but has her own persistence. The emperor has never seen the queen mother shed tears. Even if the first emperor died, even if the queen mother was extremely sad, she never shed a single tear.
Therefore, when the queen mother shed tears, the emperor suddenly became a little at a loss.
"Mother, it's a child minister or not, don't be sad."
The emperor was not because he felt sorry for the queen mother, but because he made his biological mother weep. If it is recorded by a historian, how will future generations talk about him
"Xiao Jue, your brother died so early, you can see how the two children grew up. In any case, you can only make two choices today, either not let Xuan'er go to the battlefield, or more Send some people to follow."
The emperor was silent. He just wanted to secretly remove Xiao Xuan and let Xiao Xuan go to the east. The edict had already been issued, so he naturally wouldn't take it back.
The emperor was hesitating, and suddenly a courtier came out and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, Prince Yu is dead, and only a scent of incense is left. Please think of Prince Yu’s heroic and sacrificed friendship and answer the request of the Queen Mother."
It was Gu Pingzhang who was talking.
Gu Pingzhang is the veteran of the two dynasties, from the official to the court. Although he has passed the old age, he is very energetic and his hair is meticulously combed and tied carefully on the top of his head.
Xiao Xuan heard Gu Pingzhang's voice and raised his head to look at Gu Pingzhang, his chest was also hot.
He has always made trouble for Gu Pingzhang for a long time, but Gu Pingzhang has never been impatient and has always set an example to him by precept and deeds. Gu Pingzhang has taught many students, and the most talented of them is Feng Yan. Only him, when others mention him, he looks regretful.
But Xiao Xuan knew that Gu Pingzhang treated these students equally.
Gu Pingzhang became an official at the age of 20, and it has been fifty years now. Naturally, he knows the mind of the emperor, but Gu Pingzhang still has to stand up just to protect his students.
In fact, Gu Pingzhang has already reached the age of being an official. Normally, he rarely comes to court, but he does not know why he came today.
Xiao Xuan thought that Gu Pingzhang was Xie Yunqing's grandfather, isn't it what Xie Yunqing and Gu Pingzhang said
However, Xie Yun Qingming told him that he would not involve the Xie family and the Gu family.
As soon as Gu Pingzhang stood up, another person appeared. "Weichen also felt that the Queen Mother's request was reasonable." It turned out to be the queen's elder brother.
A few more people knelt on the ground and stood on the side of the Queen Mother.
The emperor shook his body for a moment. He did not expect that the scene would suddenly turn down.
So many people stand on the opposite side of him.
The queen mother suppressed him with filial piety, and the courtiers united to force him to make a decision. The only ones who didn't stand up were Gao Shiwei and a few emperors close to his ministers.
Tianzi's mind was very confused, he held his forehead and his body shook slightly. The little yellow gate hurriedly helped the emperor to sit on the dragon chair. The emperor closed his eyes and rested for a while before waving his hand, "So, another 60,000 horses will be allocated to the king of Yu. If the king of Yu can't conquer the kingdom of Guo, he will have peace Fang Luocheng ended in the same way."
His voice is a little weak.
Xiao Xuan knew that this was the greatest opportunity the emperor's grandmother and his officials had won for him. He knelt heavily on the ground. Although he was kneeling the emperor, he knew that he was kneeling the queen mother and all the courtiers who spoke for him.
"Weichen Xie, Your Majesty Longen, the Weichen will certainly not let your Majesty's high hopes be let down, and the Weichen will return to Beijing with Guoguo's surrender letter."
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor repatriated all his officials, leaving only Gao Shiwei.
"Look, what's this called?" The emperor slammed the back of his right hand against the palm of his left hand, patted the back of his hand red without noticing it. "The queen mother dared to go to the Jinluan Temple to threaten me. What is even more hateful is that my ministers are also fighting against me."
Gao Shiwei said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother spoils her grandson. Although she did not expect it, it is reasonable. It's just that how did the Queen Mother learn about the news, so coincidental that you just read the edict. Come here later, don't you think it is suspicious?"
Gao Shiwei knew that the emperor was now in anger, so he only dared to speak cautiously.
The emperor came over with afterthought, "You mean, someone confided to the Queen Mother?"
He has been sending people to follow Xiao Xuan since Xiao Xuan went out of the palace yesterday. Throughout the night, there was his own secret whistle around the Yu Prince's Mansion, and there was not a single person coming out of the Yu Prince's Mansion until this morning.
How could Xiao Xuan pass a message to the Queen Mother
"Impossible. I have been keeping people paying close attention to Xiao Xuan's movements. Xiao Xuan will not have the opportunity to inform the Queen Mother." The emperor shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the Weichen is suspicious, the queen mother has placed a hand in your palace."
The emperor was shocked, and immediately denied: "The queen mother is my biological mother. Where does she need to be by her side?" He said that, and the emperor's heart was also shaken.
He knew the Queen Mother's methods. It's just that he has been paying close attention to the movements of Xiao Xuan's side, and forgot to pay attention to the movements of the queen mother's side.
Seeing the emperor hesitated, Gao Shiwei said: "The queen mother is your biological mother, but also the grandmother of the king Yu, and the only incense of the king Yu. The queen mother should value the king Yu. However, the queen mother is too protective of the king. If the king Yu becomes rebellious in the future, is the queen mother on your side or on the side of the king Yu?"
Gao Shiwei doesn't have much political talent, but what he likes most is this muddy water that disrupts the court. Especially, Gao Shiwei hated Prince Yu when he was young. Now Prince Yu is gone, and his hatred of Prince Yu has been transferred to his son.
The emperor had always had concerns about Xiao Xuan. The former and queen dowager spoiled Xiao Xuan only out of family affection, but if this doting was contaminated with the desire for power, the emperor would not be able to tolerate Xiao Xuan's existence.
"You have to arrange this, and you must let King Yu die in the East." The emperor's tone was cold and unfeeling.
"Weichen takes the order." Gao Shiwei knelt on the ground immediately and agreed.
