The next day, Meng Li went to the Queen Mother in person.
He wanted to find out the result of yesterday's discussion between the Queen Mother and the Emperor. As a result, the Queen Mother looked even more haggard.
Meng Li asked: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother was extremely sad:
"Ever since the emperor behaved like this, the Aijia's health has not been good. Yesterday, I went and raised the idea of Aijia. The emperor's excessive words made the Aijia feel angry, which made the situation worse."
Meng Li: "It's normal for the emperor not to agree. Mother and queen don't have to worry too much."
"What should I do if I don't worry? If something happens to this country, how will I see the late emperor in a hundred years?"
"It's my concubine's fault that I couldn't make the emperor get better." Meng Li saw that she was getting anxious and said directly.
Now you have to be more polite to the Queen Mother, maybe it will work in the future.
"My child, I can't blame you..." The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "The Ai family is really tired. You should go to the Tutor to discuss it and see if there is a solution."
"Anyway, we can't let the emperor go on like this."
Meng Li nodded: "I understand."
She obediently went to find the Taifu. The Taifu looked at Meng Li with a feeling of intimacy. He had not seen the Queen much since the Emperor returned to the court.
When it came to the matter of the emperor, Taifu hesitated to speak. Meng Li said:
"If you have anything to say, Master, please speak directly."
"I don't know if this is right, but I feel uncomfortable holding these words in my heart."
Meng Li nodded: "You say."
"Now that the Queen Mother is ill, she has no intention of presiding over the overall situation. Although the Emperor said that he wants to preside over the overall situation, he has not planned anything in his position. There are many affairs in the world that cannot be delayed. If there is a delay, big trouble will occur. I can only ask the Queen to take action. Help.”
Meng Li smiled bitterly: "I am not willing to stand by and watch, but the emperor does not allow me to intervene, so I have no choice."
"This is indeed difficult to explain to the Emperor."
"But the wisdom of the empress is unparalleled. I only hope that the empress can point me to a clear path when I can't find the direction." Taifu said.
He really didn't have enough brains for many things. He had to admit that the queen was a great talent in governing the country. If she were a monarch, she would be a wise ruler.
Just a pity.
He had no choice but to choose the Queen.
In fact, it was just because Meng Li had been the emperor of several worlds and gained some good experiences. Those experiences were not only gained by her, but also accumulated by the ancestors of the people who commissioned them at that time.
"Okay, I will definitely help anyone who can help Taifu." Meng Li did not refuse.
It must be good for the Taifu to rely on her, and it will become a habit.
But she cannot be the emperor's tool forever. Her ultimate goal is to take power. Since the Tutor has said this today, the situation is almost over.
It should also be catalyzed.
Everything has been laid out, and she has a group of ministers who are willing to support her, and some royal family members have begun to accept her, so it will be relatively easy for her to take full power.
If she doesn't do these things, it will simply make Bian Cheng unable to take care of himself, and it will be difficult for him to take power smoothly. The royal family is not really unmanned. If she has no one to support her, I don't know how many people will jump out to refute her. Moreover, her own mother clan Not strong enough to take power by force.
Most people were probably disappointed with the emperor, and now the emperor himself stood up to compare with her...
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Meng Li smiled slightly when he thought of this, but then he heard Taifu say:
"Master Zheng, I asked you to ask me something yesterday."
Meng Li thought about it and realized that the Master Zheng mentioned by the Tutor was the father of Concubine Zheng in the harem.
Now that she no longer has the position of concubine, the Queen Mother said yesterday that she was ill. Her father must be worried that she would die of illness and die in the palace.
She thought for a while, what was Lord Zheng's attitude towards her
It seems that I have always maintained a neutral attitude...
Neither against her nor for her.
Then... Meng Li was worried about it.
As Meng Li expected, the Taifu said: "My lord, I hope that the empress can treat his daughter well. If she can treat Zheng family well, he..."
The Tutor was a little hesitant, not sure whether he should say it or not. The nature of some words changed when he said them, but he still managed to convey the message for others. He could only continue:
"He is willing to support the empress, saying that only the empress can stabilize the situation."
Meng Li smiled and said, "Master Zheng is overthinking it. Everything I do is for the emperor and the people. Who does he think of me? I am not greedy for anything around me."
The Taifu smiled and heard Meng Li say to him:
"Excuse me, Master, please go back and tell Mr. Zheng that Concubine Zheng has just entered the cold palace and still has the right to ask the imperial doctor. Maybe it is because of her own inconvenience. I will arrange for the imperial doctor to come there."
When the Taifu heard Meng Li's words, his heart sank. Did the Queen mean to agree to a deal with Lord Zheng
The front foot said it righteously, and agreed in a blink of an eye.
This is really...
Did she really have some idea
He sighed deeply in his heart, not knowing what to do.
She frowned and thought for a long time, and felt that it was normal for capable people to have ideas. If she could stabilize the country, it was up to her. There was a prince in the harem, and the country belonged to the Bian family in the end.
She is also a person protected by Zhu Niao, and will definitely bring blessings to the people. This can be seen from the wise decisions she made.
There are also some temporary laws she issued, which indeed improved the problems that had existed before.
The Taifu had an intuition that now was the best time to join the team. If he joined the wrong team and stuck to the emperor's side, the family's fortune would not be very good in the future.
The emperor is really hopeless. If the queen comes to power one day, it will be difficult for those who have opposed her to be reused.
On the contrary, if the emperor suddenly cheers up, takes back the imperial power, and wins the battle with the queen, then he will no longer be reused by the emperor.
This is gambling.
Bet on who will win.
Gamble with the family's future.
But after thinking about it, I realized that before Liu Meiren's death, when everything was normal, the emperor was not as good as the late emperor in handling affairs, let alone the empress.
If the queen is determined to fight with him, she may not lose.
The Taifu thought over and over in his mind that the bet was on the family's future. With a heartbeat, he also bowed his hands to Meng Li and said:
"If the queen wants to save this country, I am willing to help you."
"Don't you, Taifu, dislike me for being a woman in a deep palace? Don't you think it's difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility?" Meng Li raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
She expressed her attitude first, and the Taifu also expressed his attitude immediately. It was obvious that she was a decisive person.
He is also a person who can afford to gamble.
The Taifu thought for a while and said seriously: "At first, I thought so. It was the Queen Mother who convinced me. Later, when I came into contact with the empress, I felt admiration. If the empress can make the people of the country well, why should I stick to the world?" Where is it?"
