"My aunt is dedicated to her nephew and the country of the Tang Dynasty. My nephew understands!"
Perhaps out of inner guilt, Emperor Yongping's attitude toward the eldest princess was surprisingly good. Even the self-identification changed directly from me to the self-identification of juniors.
It's a pity that Emperor Yongping didn't know the princess's inner plan at all. If he knew that the princess was deliberately doing these things just to evade him and make him lose prestige in front of the courtiers, he would probably eat her alive. I have the heart of a princess.
"This is what aunt should do!"
"When the Tang Dynasty gets better, my aunt will get better!"
The two simple words of the eldest princess really spoke to Emperor Yongping's heart.
"Aunt, you are absolutely right!"
After hearing the words of the eldest princess, Emperor Yongping really felt as if he had met a confidant.
He re-appointed nobles and people from the royal family, thinking that they are all people who share the country, and they should understand that only when the Tang Dynasty is good, they will be good.
But the result is that these people just can't get past the wall.
"Sir, there is actually no need to be too anxious. Everything must be done slowly. Haste makes waste!"
"Above the court, you should be more relaxed in your demands on the ministers. If you push too hard, it will inevitably backfire!"
"Auntie is right, I will pay attention to it."
…
After talking to the eldest princess, the anxious Emperor Yongping slowly calmed down. As the eldest princess said, he was indeed a little anxious.
"Hold on, haste makes waste!"
"As long as my aunt helps me, there will be no chaos in this world!"
Emperor Yongping's mentality calmed down, and he naturally became less impatient when looking at problems.
However, he just thought a little more, and the Queen Mother sent someone to invite him over.
"Mother!"
Emperor Yongping's relationship with the Queen Mother did not get along very well during this period, because he still had some complaints against the Queen Mother in his heart. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, he felt that he wouldn't be where he is today with King Yan.
"Did you see that the eldest princess made friends with the courtiers?"
After the Queen Mother received the news, the first thing she did was to pass it on to Emperor Yongping. When she thought about it, Emperor Yongping should come to see her as soon as possible after hearing the news and discuss countermeasures with her.
But instead of waiting for Emperor Yongping, the Queen Mother waited for the news that the eldest princess had entered the palace to meet Emperor Yongping. Although she controlled Nightingale, she never thought of placing anyone around Emperor Yongping. After all, Emperor Yongping was her only son.
But at this moment, the Queen Mother felt a little regretful. She should have made arrangements earlier.
If she had arranged people around Emperor Yongping early, then she must have known what the eldest princess said to Emperor Yongping, and she would not be blinded now and not knowing anything.
"After returning to my mother, my son saw it!"
"Just now, my aunt came to see me and told me everything. I trust my aunt!"
Emperor Yongping did not show any fear towards the eldest princess, but instead spoke for the eldest princess. He was not a brainless person, so how could he not know that the Queen Mother called him here to speak ill of the eldest princess
However, Emperor Yongping felt that there was no need to doubt the princess's loyalty to him.
"You are confused!"
The Queen Mother was really furious after hearing what Emperor Yongping said.
Fortunately, she always thought that this son was very smart. Although he was not an unparalleled emperor as an emperor, he was at least someone who could distinguish between good and evil.
But at this moment, the Queen Mother felt that her son was so stupid!
"Why did the queen say this?"
Emperor Yongping frowned and looked at the Queen Mother with some displeasure, "My aunt has always been good to my son and minister. When my son and minister were assassinated before, my aunt risked her life to protect her."
"Mother, if my aunt harbored evil intentions towards me, then I might have been killed by a thief a long time ago, and you would have been a white-haired person giving a black-haired person, and become the empress dowager!"
"I know that my mother doesn't like my aunt, but when it comes to court matters, I still hope that my mother can abide by her duties!"
"Emperor Taizu established a rule long ago that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"
"Mother, even though you are my queen, you still have to abide by these rules."
Emperor Yongping's words were really stabbing the Queen Mother in the heart.
She was originally sitting steadily, but after hearing Emperor Yongping's words, the Queen Mother suddenly shook her body, her vision turned black, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Empress!"
It was the nun beside the Queen Mother who stepped forward in time and supported the Queen Mother, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Mother!"
Emperor Yongping was also shocked when he saw the Queen Mother like this.
Although he really resented the Queen Mother's dictation and the Queen Mother's prejudice against the eldest princess, after all, the Queen Mother was his biological mother. No matter how much he disliked her, he still had filial piety towards the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the Queen Mother almost fainted, Emperor Yongping quickly admitted his mistake and begged the Queen Mother to take care of himself and not to be angry. It was all his son's fault.
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yongping, who was worried about her health, and sighed quietly, saying: "Emperor, the Ai family is not asking you to target the eldest princess, they are just trying to make you have more evil intentions!"
"It is true that there is no precedent for a woman to be emperor in our Tang Dynasty, and there is no such precedent in previous dynasties. However, you have to think more about everything!"
"What's the temperament of the eldest princess?"
"She is no ordinary princess. You should know this better than the Ai family."
"Since you don't like Aijia to talk too much, then Aijia will stop talking!"
The Queen Mother was really sad.
It can be said that she worked hard for this son. But she never expected that in the son's mind, she, the mother, was not as important as the eldest princess.
"That's it, that's all. Let such a son go!"
The Queen Mother was sad, and naturally she didn't want to waste energy and words to say anything. She was afraid that if she kept talking, sooner or later, Emperor Yongping would be pissed off by this big guy!
"Mother, take care of yourself, son and minister, please retire!"
After discovering that the Queen Mother didn't want to talk, Emperor Yongping simply resigned and left.
In today's Tang Dynasty, there are many things going on.
As an emperor, Emperor Yongping was also really busy. Memorials from local officials were sent to the capital one after another and placed in front of Emperor Yongping. They impeached and sued those local noble families for not obeying the king's laws, and asked Emperor Yongping how to deal with them.
Regarding these tricks, Emperor Yongping was really overwhelmed.
In his opinion, these local officials are all cunning and cunning.
The ancients said that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his subjects, and the Lord is concerned about the humiliation of his subjects.
The ministers were supposed to share the king's worries, but when it came to him, they all did the opposite.
If Emperor Yongping had his true intention, he wanted to remove these officials immediately.
If local aristocratic families do not abide by the king's laws, they will naturally be dealt with according to the law. Is there anything I need to ask for instructions on? One or two of them are afraid of offending others. What is the use of such officials? (End of chapter)
