The queen is a woman with means, but she is just a woman after all, a woman who has been locked up in the harem and lost her freedom.
Her reminder was useful, but it was too late!
Xiao Tianyao's Jinwu Guard is only a day's journey away from the capital, and as long as Xiao Tianyao is willing, he can break into the city at any time.
At this time, the emperor went to the Central Empire to rescue troops. When the people from the Central Empire came, the daylilies were cold. By then, Xiao Tianyao was already sitting on the throne. Who would the Central Empire help
"What help are you looking for from the empire? Hugh is talking nonsense, Tianyao has returned in triumph, and I have a great victory in Dongwen, so why do I need the help of the empire." Hearing the advice given by the minister, the emperor's head hurt even more, and his heart became more and more irritable.
Some things can be said and some things cannot be said. Xiao Tianyao's troops are already outside the city, what's the use of looking for rescue soldiers now
Moreover, he had already sent people to the Central Empire, but the Empire simply ignored it. For the empire, as long as Dongwen is there, they don't care about who is the emperor at all, just look at the central empire's attitude towards Nanman.
When the new emperor of Nanman raised his army, the ruling emperor of Nanman also sent someone to the empire to ask for help, but the empire simply ignored it.
"Your Majesty, King Xiao ignored His Majesty's will and brought troops into the city. This matter must not be tolerated." The minister who was sanctified in private, seeing the Emperor's rejection, knelt on the ground and looked loyal to the Emperor.
The emperor pressed his temples with a headache, and said impatiently: "Okay, there is no need to talk about this matter. Tianyao is my younger brother, and I believe him."
Some things can be said and some things cannot be said. What I have to do now is not to ask the empire to help him suppress Xiao Tianyao's arrogance, but to appease Xiao Tianyao and not let him send troops.
Now there is a commotion to suppress Xiao Tianyao, what if Xiao Tianyao finds a reason and something really happened
At that time, what if the empire sent people? His emperor is dead, can the empire let him live
"Your Majesty..." The minister still wanted to give advice, but the emperor was very impatient, and before he finished speaking, he said, "Kneel down."
The minister was helpless and withdrew with a worried look on his face.
However, after all, he has completed the task. As for whether the emperor will listen to his advice, it is not up to him to decide.
After receiving the news, the queen was silent for a long time before she spoke quietly, "I think too highly of myself and too low of Your Majesty. This is the time to ask for help, this is the time to appease."
"Niangniang..." Seeing the Queen's dejected expression, the maid who was accompanying her couldn't help but worry.
"I'm fine." The Empress closed her eyes to hide the discouragement in her heart, and sighed softly: "Go find Xiao Qilai, I have something to tell him."
"Yes, Niangniang." Mammy bowed and stepped back, and at the same time took all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace down.
Not long after, the seventh prince came and stayed in the hall with the queen for half an hour. No one knew what the mother and son said, but they only knew that after the seventh prince left the queen, he went to see the emperor.
Before all the princes, even the prince, the seventh prince found the emperor first, and actively requested to go outside the city to appease the three armies, and at the same time welcomed Prince Xiao back to the capital.
The so-called appeasement of the three armies and welcoming Xiao Wangfu to return to Beijing is just a nice thing to say, but it is actually a hostage to show the emperor's sincerity, so that Xiao Tianyao can't find a reason to send troops.
"Qi'er, you don't have to do this, your brother is here." The emperor was having a headache about Xiao Tianyao, and even thought about whether to go out to greet him in person to show his grace and sincerity.
But after thinking about it, if he wanted to go out of the city to meet him in person, it would be equivalent to bowing down to Xiao Tianyao, putting the emperor's face on the ground and letting Xiao Tianyao trample on it.
"Father, the prince's elder brother is not feeling well, the son is a direct son, and the aunt also likes the son, so it's better for the son to go." The seventh prince explained with a puffed bun face.
In fact, when going out to meet Xiao Tianyao, the crown prince was seriously ill and could not go, so the third prince Xiao Zian was also suitable. He is the son of the favored concubine, a young king who is full of talent and won the heart of the emperor. His status is second only to that of the prince. The prince will not be seriously ill, so it would be better to be replaced by him.
Of course, the eldest prince who is brave and good at fighting is also suitable, but the emperor does not like the eldest prince, and the eldest prince will not want to stand out in such a thing.
However, as soon as the third prince mentioned a word to Concubine Zhou, he was stopped by Concubine Zhou, who would not let him go to the emperor or die.
Xiao Tianyao's army was just outside the city, and Concubine Zhou would never believe him if he had no second thoughts. At this time, going out of the city and going to the Jinwuwei camp is equivalent to falling into the hands of Xiao Tianyao and letting him slaughter.
If Xiao Tianyao thought about his uncle and nephew, it would be fine, but if he didn't think about his uncle and nephew, the person who went there would be a prince or a prince.
Xiao Zian didn't want to make his mother angry, so he persuaded Concubine Zhou Guifei with good words in the palace, and the seventh prince took the lead in this delay.
After the seventh prince explained the reasons, the emperor was also a little moved, but when he saw the small body of the seventh prince, the emperor couldn't nod his head.
The seventh prince was only a few years old, and he really wanted the seventh prince to pick up Xiao Tianyao. Maybe Xiao Tianyao thought he was the emperor and deliberately embarrassed him.
"Little Seven..." The emperor was in a slightly better mood because his son was caring, and he waved to the seventh prince, motioning for the seventh prince to come to him.
The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment, then silently stepped forward.
The emperor looked at his son, who was as tall as the table, with a loving expression on his face, "Xiao Qi, the emperor knows what you are thinking, but you are too young. It is not appropriate for you to go out of the city to meet your Uncle Xiao."
"Royal father, this son wants to share his worries for the royal father." The seventh prince lowered his head and looked aggrieved.
"Seven children, wait, when you grow up, you will be able to share the worries of the father and the emperor." The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, more than a dozen sons and daughters, are the only ones who are truly caring.
"Xiao Qi, you are still young, the father will take care of these matters, all you have to do now is to study hard." The emperor looked at the seventh prince, and thought of the prince who pretended to be sick when he was in trouble, and couldn't help shaking his head.
It's the same heir, why is the gap so big
Is it because the prince was not raised by the queen when he was young
Of course, this idea just flashed by, and the emperor put it down. He would never admit that he did not teach the prince well, and if the prince was wrong, it must be his own fault.
"Father..." The seventh prince tugged at the corner of the emperor's clothes and refused to leave.
"Good, the emperor has a memorial to approve." The emperor felt a little sour, secretly regretting that he had not treated the seventh prince well enough. At the same time, he also decided that once the matter was over, he would bring the Seventh Prince with him and teach him personally.
If the crown prince is not useful, Xiao Qi is the best candidate.
The seventh prince had to loosen the hem of the emperor's clothes, stood in front of the emperor sluggishly, bowed listlessly, turned around, and walked very slowly one step at a time.
The emperor was both moved and amused when he saw the seventh prince.
Really a child.
The seventh prince just walked to the center of the hall, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the emperor with a bright face...
