He used what he thought was a tolerant and gentle tone, with a hint of flattery, but Bian Cheng was so dazed that he didn't care about it at all.
If it was short, he could still listen to it. But if it was too long, he was really impatient, so he still didn't listen this time.
But he also said: "Oh, I know."
"Just do as you say."
Everyone: "..."
This matter was too complicated and contradictory, and it was difficult to make a decision, so no one proposed a solution at all. They told the emperor just to let him make a decision. But the emperor kept saying that we should do as they said. What did they say? Just do it this way.
"The Emperor is tired. I suggest that the Emperor go back to the palace to rest. Later, I will write this matter in detail in the memorial and deal with it after the Emperor has rested." The Taifu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said.
The late Emperor's empire must not collapse. The Tutor knew very well that the more the Emperor appeared to be in a bad state and continued to be so, the more people would have ideas.
Since ancient times, the emperor's incompetence or absurdity would cause turmoil in the court. Now there is an undercurrent, but the emperor has never worried about it, and he has not even noticed it. The Taifu is very worried. It is really the emperor's performance that is too poor, which makes him I feel hopeless.
Why don't you stay here and lose your dignity in front of all the civil and military officials? How can you deter others from now on
But Bian Cheng felt comfortable hearing these words. He now wanted to go back to the palace to enjoy himself, so he said:
"Okay, I will definitely read the memorial."
Having said that, when Bian Cheng returned, he started to live in a state of drunkenness and dreams again.
Memorials and all that have been forgotten.
He returned to the court just to prevent Meng Li from continuing to be in power, and in his heart, as long as he returned to the court, everything would be fine.
It’s not like he can’t make decisions, just come to him if you need anything.
It was just that memorials from all over the country were pouring into his imperial study, but he had never been there once. He still drank when he went to court. In his heart, the courtiers had accepted him like this.
He didn't listen to a word he said. Although he didn't listen to the serious business, if someone advised him not to drink, or advised him to review memorials, saying that people from all over the country were waiting for his reply, he would be able to hear clearly and refute them, saying what was in his heart. There are many, no need for others to urge you.
Selective deafness.
Privately, he said to Taifu: "Just solve those trivial matters."
"Don't bother me with it."
Taifu: "..."
If the emperor is like this, he might as well drink in the palace every day. He occupies this position but fails to fulfill his obligations.
I also express my gratitude to the empress for her hard work, thoughtfulness and wise decision-making.
Not only the Tutor thought this way, but also the adults from all over the country. They rushed to send the memorial to the capital because of urgent matters and hoped to get the order as soon as possible. However, they heard that the emperor didn't even read it, which was deeply chilling.
It's really not as good as the Queen Empress, who can give them a quick answer. Sometimes the capital needs a quick solution to minimize the loss. There are too many delays now.
The Queen Mother also knew about the Emperor's poor performance in the court. She sighed deeply and looked at Meng Li:
"What should the Ai family do?"
Meng Li sighed: "I don't know."
"Why don't you go and assist the Emperor..." The Queen Mother stared at her. She felt that the Queen was already able to handle political affairs. It would be feasible if she could handle it together with the Emperor.
Let the Queen come up with a solution and the Emperor just needs to nod or deny.
If the emperor really doesn't want to read those memorials, he can just ask the queen to read them to him.
In this way, the power is actually still in the hands of the emperor, and the queen only plays the role of a tool. When the matter is resolved, outsiders will no longer say that the emperor is ridiculous.
Meng Li glanced at the Queen Mother, noticed her thoughts, and said calmly:
"Mother, the Emperor has been very disgusted with my concubine recently. I don't dare to stay in front of him any longer, for fear of getting angry."
The Queen Mother said disapprovingly:
"Queen, what are you talking about? It is a big step for the emperor to go to court. It is an excellent start. Moreover, he is your husband. At this time, you should not shrink back, but We should step forward bravely and lead the emperor towards the light."
"The Emperor will definitely not allow it..." Meng Li hesitated.
The Queen Mother actually couldn't think of any good way to get the Emperor to accept the Queen to help him, but she had already thought of the plan and had to put it into practice, so she said bravely:
"You have to try, you are husband and wife, you have to influence him with love and warmth."
Meng Li: "..."
Probation
She felt like laughing for no reason.
"Okay, it's just that if I go directly, the emperor will definitely be very repulsive. It would be best if the mother can communicate with the emperor in advance." Meng Li said.
The Queen Mother was also very hesitant: "If the Ai family makes sense..." I don't expect you to go either.
But after thinking about it, the queen really couldn't run directly to the emperor and say I'm here to help you. After all, this is a matter of government affairs...
"Then let Aijia try it." The Queen Mother said.
Meng Li nodded, and the Queen Mother suddenly said: "By the way, the Zheng family in the cold palace seems to be sick."
"Do you know what the Ai family heard about a few days ago?"
Meng Li shook his head: "I didn't know before, but now I know it."
It seemed that Qiaozhu had mentioned Concubine Zheng to her before, but she was busy at the time and interrupted her, so she said nothing more.
"Look..." The Queen Mother stared at Meng Li, probably because Meng Li meant that if she was left to fend for herself, she would not arrange for an imperial doctor to be given to her.
Meng Li smiled: "I know what I am doing."
"Then it's up to you. The Ai family doesn't have the energy to worry about her affairs." The Queen Mother could not change her frown. She was worried about the emperor and the country all day long, fearing that it would become unstable.
The Queen Mother went to find the Emperor, and Meng Li left the Queen Mother Palace and walked under the palace wall. She folded her collar. It was already winter...
"I would like to go to the palace." Meng Li said to Qiaozhu.
Liu Meiren was still in the capital, and she didn't let her go. Liu Meiren stayed outside for several months, and she spent all her money on her.
It felt like it was time to let her go, as the Emperor was already suffering from an alcohol addiction that he couldn't quit.
"Your Majesty's coming out of the palace will attract a lot of attention," Qiaozhu said.
Meng Li looked at her: "So I will use your identity to leave the palace."
Qiaozhu: "... The queen's beauty and nobility are hard to hide, how can she pretend to be so ordinary as a servant?"
Meng Li smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. When the time comes, you just need to wear my clothes and lie in the palace."
"The most important thing is to lend you the pass token." She added.
You can use the space to go out directly, but then you won't be able to talk to Liu Meiren with her true face.
