Concubine Ya looked at the Seventh Prince and said again, "Do you really think that this peaceful and prosperous world is governed by a saint?" In this world, hundreds of officials and ministers have worked hard to manage it. How can there be so many vertical arches and the world is governed. A disaster, the imperial court to dozens of people to deal with, first the county to convey the disaster, the prefect briefly reported, the four concubines and the three divisions to draw up countermeasures, silver two, and then the sage Zhu Pi, in the transfer to the treasury, to get silver two. Finally, troops were sent from the capital to escort them to the disaster area. ”

"This kind of thing is simple to say, but in fact there are a lot to consider, how much silver taels to be sent for disaster relief. There are too many, layers of deductions, but the treasury is wasted. If it is less, it will be sent again. The location of this degree is calculated according to the number of people affected by the disaster and the price of nearby rice. You have never thought about these things, and if you are allowed to become a saint, you will be able to hear a master of success, and if you are not good, you will be an incompetent king. Even if you take a copy of the "Records of the Gentlemen" (the list of officials and alternate officials of the Yu Dynasty, which is used to check when changing officials) in front of you, you will not be able to circle it. ”

"When Emperor Gao established the Holy Dynasty, the scholars of the north and the south competed with each other, and the nobles of the Han family fought with each other. Emperor Gao and your father spent so much effort that they could barely resolve it. This palace asks you, if you ascend the throne, what should you do? ”

Concubine Ya's words were like a series of arrows, and the words were inserted into the hearts of the Seven Princes, the Seven Princes were just submissive and didn't dare to speak out, he never thought about these problems, what he only thought about was that he could have great power in his hands, and he could solve anything in the court. was questioned by Concubine Ya, and he realized that being an emperor may not be as simple as he thought.

Concubine Ya looked at him and said, "None of your three brothers are emperors, so this palace will not harm the public for personal reasons." The world only knows that your grandfather flattered the Empress Dowager, but they don't know your grandfather's pain at that time. At that time, your father was still young, the court was worried about internal and external troubles, and the country was in danger, and your grandfather could only put the stability of the court first. What your grandfather told the palace is now being forwarded to you. Only one person rules the world, how can he serve one person for the world? ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, looked at Concubine Ya, and found that he had not understood who his mother was for so many years. He was silent, and so was Concubine Ya. After a long time, Concubine Ya said, "Since you think that this palace has not helped anything, then this palace will help you once, and within ten years, your father will definitely come to see you, and when the time comes, you will tell him that you will voluntarily go to the Tianshan camp, be a pawn, charge for the Holy Dynasty, and atone for your sins." Your father will definitely agree, and you don't have to copy books in these three provincial palaces. ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Queen Mother, do you really want to be a pawn?" ”

"If you say that, your father will naturally not agree, and he may become a guerrilla general at that time, but you have to resign, and you can be a hundred presidents. If you go to the army, you can let these 100 people live and die for you, it's amazing. If you had 3,000 soldiers who were willing to serve the dead, you wouldn't be locked up here today to copy books. ”

When the seventh prince heard this, he was silent for a long time and didn't speak, and when Concubine Ya saw this situation, she continued, "It's your business whether you listen or not, since this palace wants to help you, I will help you to the end." If there is a change in the capital, you must not return to Beijing. Let your tenth brother come back. When he comes back, you ask him to give you the seal. ”

"Queen Mother, if the child doesn't come back, won't there be no chance?"

"Hmph, do you think you'll have a chance when you come back? The governor of Zhili Mansion is your ninth brother's person, and the governor of Longyou Mansion is your fourth brother-in-law. When the time comes, you will not be able to bring in even ten soldiers without a decree. You might as well keep those 200,000 soldiers in your hands and support your own troops. If there is an opportunity, he is leading his troops into Beijing. If you don't have a chance, wait until the dust settles and the princes are divided, and you will immediately become a vassal and do not return to Beijing. It is enough for the soldier to bring your cronies. ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he thought for a while and said, "The military power of the queen mother has already reached my hands, how can I let it go, if I have always held the military power, they will not be able to do anything to me." Flash"

Seeing that the Seventh Prince was so inflexible, Concubine Ya held back her anger and said, "You really don't understand, this time is not that time, if the dust settles, it will be easy for the saint to deprive you of your military power." You might as well be a happy prince and live happily for a lifetime. That's all it takes, if you can listen to what Hongu has to say, then you can naturally be at ease. If you make your own decisions, then this palace can't save you, think about it carefully, if you can't even tell this power, then this palace has nothing to say to you. ”

After Concubine Ya finished speaking, she turned around and left here, ignoring the Seven Princes at all.

Concubine Ya left here and arrived at the imperial study, after the eunuch went in to make a statement, soon the emperor opened the door, held Concubine Ya's hand, took her hand and came in and said, "I didn't expect Yingying to come to see me." ”

Concubine Ya blushed, bowed slightly to the emperor, and then said, "Sage, there are still ministers here." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Haha, between this husband and wife, no matter what gossip about others, if I call you a little boy (a nickname for the emperor for the empress, similar to a wife. Isn't it a birth? ”

Concubine Ya said yes, and the minister also prepared a chair at this time for Concubine Ya to sit down. After Concubine Ya thanked her, she said to the emperor, "This time the concubine came for the unfilial son, and the concubine was negligent in disciplining, so that he exceeded his authority and bent the law, recklessly acted for personal gain, and asked the saint to punish him." ”

The sage smiled and said, "Yingying, why do you and I have to say this, I have never been convinced in my life, and the only thing I admire is you." Yingying, when the queen mother praised you, you have unparalleled intelligence, and you are the female prime minister who can help me rejuvenate the country and secure the country, I didn't believe it at first, and finally I had to admire, and the queen mother looked at people above me. ”

Concubine Ya modestly said that she didn't dare, thinking in her heart the meaning of the sage's words, and soon she understood, and said to the emperor, "Sage, you are joking, the concubine is just a woman, thanks to the sage's refusal to give up, for the sage, you share your worries and solve problems." The concubines are thin and short-sighted, and it is really difficult to reach the saints. The sage cave shines on the nine shadows, and he must have known the meaning of the concubine. ”

She knew in her heart that the sage's words were full of guns and sticks, and Fang Mou was broken, these two people were the two strategists who assisted Song Taizong in forcing the palace, and they used these two to describe themselves, plus yesterday's incident, it was obvious that they were both positive and negative. She knew that the saint already knew what she had said to the Seventh Prince just now, but she didn't have anything to worry about, even if she said these words in front of the saint, there was nothing.

"Yingying, since you have a future for your son, I don't know what you are going to do with the second and third children? Wen Lu is indeed not the material to be an emperor, but Wen Xun may not be able to hold the public instrument and ascend to the throne. The emperor looked at Concubine Ya with a sincere expression in his eyes, as if he was telling the truth.

Concubine Ya and the emperor have been getting along for many years, so she naturally understands the emperor's temperament, and said to the emperor, "Whether Wen Xun can hold the public weapon depends on the sage's Jitian imperial edict. ”

The emperor laughed and said, "Yingying, between our husband and wife, why are you so strange, you go out first." The courtiers and maids around understood that what was going to be discussed next was a big matter, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Yingying, who do you think of my ten sons is the most in line with my heart?"

"Sage, you have already given Yaodi the Dragon Shadow Sword that Emperor Gao rewarded you, how could the concubines not know?" Since the two of them opened the skylight, they didn't try to come and try.

The emperor didn't answer, but just looked at Concubine Ya, who avoided it a little according to etiquette, and then said again, "Sage, this palace once asked Yaodi if he was powerful with this sword. He didn't seem to know that this sword had cold poison on it, and if he was injured by this sword, without your antidote, the saint, he would definitely die within three days. ”

The Emperor nodded and motioned for Concubine Ya to continue. Concubine Ya continued, "If the saint doesn't tell Yaodi about this, do you believe that Yaodi will never hurt himself with this sword? Of course, Yaodi did not disappoint the saint, even if he held this poisonous sword, he would not be poisoned here. Most of the things in the world are similar, and this position of the Great Ruo, also known as the position of Great Suffering, is not it also a dragon shadow sword? ”

The emperor sighed and said, "My sons say that my mind is as deep as the sea, and I can't guess it, and I can't figure it out. This is just their ignorance, if they hear Yingying's words, will they stop fighting and assist Wenjin wholeheartedly. ”

The emperor did not answer directly, but the meaning of his words was very clear, and he intended to pass on the throne to Yaode.

Concubine Ya didn't continue, the emperor smiled bitterly, walked up to her side, looked at her and said, "Do you know why I don't like to go to your Ice Spring Palace so much? Yingying, you're so smart, sometimes I'm worried......"

The emperor didn't say any more, and Concubine Ya also understood, and said to the emperor, "Why worry about this, the saint, the concubine is already old, and she won't live for a few years." And the life of the saint is still very long, and the saint should not blame the concubine for not being able to accompany the saint all the time. ”

"Hey, Yingying, why bother saying these ominous words, I can't do without you, and the court can't do without you. There's been a lot of talking, so go back first, and I'll come to the Ice Spring Palace to see you tonight." ”

Concubine Ya said yes, saluted and exited the imperial study, couldn't help coughing a few times, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and when the cough was finished, she looked at the blood stains on the handkerchief, put it away quietly, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and thought about many things.

In the end, she returned to her palace and said to her maid, "You go and tell Jiusi, let Jiusi tell the sage, and say that the palace has not seen his family for many years, and I hope the sage will be gracious and let the nephew of the palace enter the palace for a while." ”

The maid said yes, and after she left, a maid came up with medicinal soup and said to Concubine Ya, "Niangniang, the imperial doctor said, Niangniang, you have to pay more attention to rest." ”
