Bian Min'er rushed forward and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I'm talking nonsense! I've fallen for evil! Please forgive the Bian family!"
Emperor Sheng Yuan kicked her away and said solemnly, "Come here, take General Bian and a few imperial uncles to the side hall for a while! Huangjie, please go to the various prefectures for inspection, or pay them back as soon as possible. Innocent." If Bian Min'er didn't admit it personally in front of the civil and military officials, even if he got the evidence in private, it would not be easy to catch everyone.
But now, Bian Min'er has provoked a conflict between Han Chen and the nobles of the Jiuli clan, making the two irreconcilable and difficult to reconcile. And the Jiuli people are not monolithic, as long as they make good use of these contradictions, they can get rid of these confidants in one fell swoop. To be honest, the so-called truth revealed by Bian Miner was just a conjecture deduced by the scouts he sent based on clues, and there was no evidence. But so what? Bian Min'er's confession is proof. He copied from various prefectures, and if there is no proof, he can place a few at will.
In other words, the Bian family and several princes are already chess pieces in his hands, whether they are abandoned or abandoned, they are all at his disposal.
Bian Zhaoxiong and several princes had already committed the crime of treason, so they did not dare to resist, and they were besieged by the imperial guards and went to the side hall. The female relatives of the Bian family were taken away one by one, especially Bian Min'er, who looked lost and almost collapsed.
The nobles of the Jiuli clan were silent, and the Han courtiers were also solemn. They were secretly thinking about how to end this matter, but the emperor said in a warm voice, "Today is a big day for the students, how can they be disturbed by a little thing? Come, let's have a banquet. !"
The emperor has a good belly! At this time, he is still able to hold his breath, and he is worthy of being the hero of the world! Thinking like this, the honors and honors of the Jiuli tribe were convinced, and the Han courtiers were even more loyal to him. Just because they know that if the emperor can't sit firmly in the country and change any Jiuli royal family to the top, the first unlucky person will definitely be the Han Chinese.
"Let the emperor quickly appoint a Han woman as the queen, and give birth to the eldest son with half the blood of the Han people, so as to consolidate the kinship between the two ethnic groups and deepen the integration of the ethnic group." This matter has become an urgent task for Han officials to solve. They looked left and right, looked at each other, and selected the most suitable candidate in their hearts. After this incident, the emperor's mood can be imagined. If the Han people recommend another woman he is not satisfied with, or even extremely disgusted with, and tell him to refuse to stand up for a long time, God knows when the nobles of the Jiuli tribe think about it. The law, and what kind of change will happen.
The battle for the latter position is imminent, and as long as the Han women are the first, the issue of candidates will be second. What's more, the Imperial Palace has always been benevolent, righteous, loyal and faithful to the family. Miss Guan has an upright personality, both talent and beauty, as well as foresight. Having her as the empress can suppress the Pan family's daughter who is now in charge of the sixth palace.
The emperor's words revealed that he wanted to marry Miss Guan as his queen, and he must have some sincere love for her. If you don't send her into the palace at this time, when will you wait? If the Pan clan's daughter is pregnant first, it is difficult to guarantee that the honors and honors of the Jiuli clan will not take her to the top in the name of "bringing a dragon heir", and then it will be too late to select a suitable candidate among the Han women.
The moment has passed, and there is no room for delay. Before we can get together to discuss, the Han courtiers have quietly reached a consensus. However, Guan Suyi, who was in charge of all this, seemed to be unaware, as he took a sip from the teacup, and gently patted the frightened younger brother.
Mr. Zhong settled down, and then he listened to it, "Is this what you call the bottom line?"
"Yeah. Wouldn't it be better to take the Bian family and a few princes in one pot? Save me in the future when I enter the palace, they will still point fingers at me and chatter endlessly." Guan Suyi lowered her voice, "Furthermore, the Bian family wants to try to usurp the throne. Several princes wanted to make the vassal a big one. They colluded with the Hu people and Xue thieves to weaken Wei's national power and split Wei's territory. Their territory expanded and their positions were stabilized. The situation of encirclement, then how should the people of the Central Plains live? The reason why I do such insidious and treacherous things is to eliminate harm for the people and be loyal to the country.”
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhong thought, rubbing her brows and sighing, "You are still plausible and calm when such an earth-shattering mess is made. When did you become like this? I almost don't recognize you."
"Mother, I want to enter the palace in the future. If I don't even have this means, how can I hold down the concubines of the six palaces? Can I hold down the empress dowager and several widows of the princes in Changle Palace? You should be grateful for my change. That's it." From now on, Guan Suyi just wants to be herself. She may compromise to win the favor of Kunal, or do something against her conscience to protect herself and her children, but as Kunal said, at least in Wei, no one can trample on her except him. Dignity, hurt her family. That's enough.
From the wife of the common people to the mother of a country, from being unloved to being favored, her current life has far exceeded her imagination and expectations. If she didn't readily accept it, she would instead reject it again and again, and even she would call herself a "stupid".
Mr. Zhong was speechless by the blocking of his daughter, and after a long while, he said embarrassingly, "Well, this is the path you chose by yourself. Even if the front is full of swords, swords, and halberds, you have to go on."
"My daughter has already realized this." Guan Suyi raised her glass and took a sip. Seeing that Kunal was looking at him from a distance, she immediately smiled.
Emperor Shengyuan was stunned for a while, but after a few breaths, the gloomy complexion had all receded, and it became a sunny day. He smiled and invited all the scholars to take their seats, and then ordered Bai Fu to immediately go to his private vault to find a decent golden hairpin and send it to Miss Guan to be shocked.
But after a while, Bai Fu walked up to Miss Guan, put a brocade box in both hands, opened it to see, and found a more luxurious nine-tailed phoenix hairpin inside, with phoenix wings adorned with red sapphires and shiny pearls, The phoenix tail is fluttering in the wind, vibrating and wanting to fly, it is like the nirvana of a divine bird, the treasure is shining in all directions, and it is vivid.
The surrounding female relatives exclaimed in amazement, and the male guests were even more determined to recommend Miss Guan as the latter. It can not only please the emperor, but also suppress the concubines of the Jiuli clan, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. With Miss Guan's talent, courage, and grace, she is enough to be the opponent of Pan's daughter. I heard that the other party has led soldiers, killed people, has a strong personality, and has superb martial arts. If it were an ordinary Chinese woman who entered the palace, I am afraid she would not be the enemy of her unity.
Thinking of this, they couldn't find a more suitable candidate besides Miss Guan.
When the phoenix hairpin flew up to the clouds and shone brightly, there was no more Han Chen's mood floating and hesitating. Guan Suyi stroked her undisturbed hair, and then dragged her long skirt embroidered with peonies on the floor, meandering forward, bowing down, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward."
"Madam, please get up quickly!" Emperor Sheng Yuan walked straight off the throne, helped her up, reached out and touched her temples, smiled and praised, "This phoenix hairpin has been placed in my private library for a long time, although it is dazzling, but no owner is worthy of it. . Now flying into Madam's black hair, I am fortunate to set off Madam's beautiful and moon-like appearance, and it finally complements each other."
These words are euphemistic, but not so subtle, everyone here is not a fool, how can they not understand it? The emperor made it clear that he was proclaiming the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty that his favorite candidate for the queen was only Miss Guan from beginning to end. I just don't know when the two had an affair, before leaving or after leaving? But who would dare to delve into this question? Just thinking about it in my mind.
Guan Suyi's smile was shy and her eyes were gleaming, which made Emperor Shengyuan stunned for a moment. He finally regained his sanity, and took a few steps forward to take his wife back to her seat. Then he sat down with red ears and raised his voice, "Today I am fortunate enough to be the backbone of the pillars, and tomorrow I will be each one's arms and support the court. For the benefit of the people, it is not worthwhile to study hard and study hard, and set lofty aspirations. Come, drink! Don't need to respect me, but only respect heaven and earth, ancestors, and society!"
"Respect heaven and earth, ancestors, and society!" Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses and got up and drank them all.
In the solemn and solemn atmosphere, a violent cough suddenly sounded, and everyone looked around at a loss. Only then did they realize that Guan Mumu, the heir adopted by the Emperor's Mansion, had also drank a cup with pride and was burying his head in the layers of Miss Guan. He coughed desperately in the hem of his skirt, and his small appearance was both embarrassed and cute.
He was not the only child who entered the palace for a banquet, but he was the youngest. In addition, he was very curious about the contents of the cup. One of them lost his temper and made a joke. The old man Guan hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, but heard Emperor Shengyuan laughing loudly, "Little son is sincere, other children use tea instead of wine, but he is not ambiguous at all, and he drank a glass of spirits as soon as he came, and I really have me. Generation style. Come, come to me, drink slowly, I will teach you."
Mu Mu admired her brother-in-law so much, she immediately ran over after hearing this, lay on his knees while coughing, and whispered "Brother-in-law".
Emperor Shengyuan was very happy, he picked up his brother-in-law, exchanged a glass of mild fruit wine, dipped it with chopsticks and slowly fed it to him, with a gentle demeanor and considerate actions, he caught sight of the lady sitting at the bottom showing a displeased look, and then secretly He pressed the jug and signaled him not to let his younger brother drink too much, and then he stopped embarrassingly.
Both of them are the focus of attention, how can no one notice the brow and eye lawsuits that come and go? Not to mention, the emperor is so domineering, it seems that Miss Guan has decided to eat it. It seems that the candidate for the latter position is a certainty and cannot be changed.
-----
At the same time, in the secret room of the back hall, the disheveled "Bian Min'er" was pulling his face bit by bit to reveal his true face. Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw that it was the gold that should have been serving Guan Suyi.
"You learned onomatopoeia? It's quite like that. How do you feel about insulting the master one by one?" A tall man walked in carrying the real Bian Min'er.
"According to the order, fortunately not humiliated." Jin Zi was about to go to heaven, but he couldn't explain it, and said, "I have to go back to serve the young lady. Where are you taking this person? My young lady said she wanted to see her. On the one hand, can you help arrange it?"
"The person the Queen Mother wants to see, how dare we neglect it? After the banquet, you can bring the mother to the underground palace." The man knocked on the floor tiles, descended from the slowly opening dark passage, and soon disappeared into the flickering dim yellow candlelight.
