1097 The Queen Mother was furious
Whether the Empress Dowager summoned Shen Weizhou, the Duke of Liang, to the south to quell the chaos not only made the foreign courtiers deeply entangled, but even the emperor was puzzled by the Empress Dowager's actions.
"The current turmoil in Ki is not as severe as in previous years, but it is also precarious. In this case, it is necessary for the strong minister to enter the arch position, why does the queen mother only call her brother-in-law, not her brother-in-law? In the past, my brother-in-law was able to turn the tide with a lonely crowd, not to mention that now, if he crosses the river and enters the capital, who else dares to make a noise now? ”
In the hall of the garden, after the initial panic faded, the emperor gradually regained some of his ability to think, and his words were not lacking in order, which shows that the past few years have not been wasted, at least in the face of this internal problem, he has really thought about and gained.
The queen mother regained her graceful posture at this time, and after hearing the emperor's question, her face also showed a little appreciation: "Evil things are frequent, people's hearts are turbulent, the emperor, you can still be sure and think about it, it can be seen that the years are not long." But you still think too shallowly about this matter. ”
"Kinai is disturbed at the moment, and as soon as Qiangliang is in, the important ministers are affected. One was a riot in Langya Township, and the crowd was surging. Although these two incidents seem to be troublesome, they are far from being a major trouble when they go to the root of the problem. Or there are strongmen who have evil intentions and hide them, and deceive my mother and son to live in the palace and not communicate with the outside world, because they are using this strong attitude to fulfill their selfish desires. ”
The Empress Dowager has been in the dynasty for many years, and she is not completely wise, although she was panicked because of the sudden change and the shadow of her heart, but after calming down, she gradually made her own judgment on the situation: "Your brother-in-law is a pillar of the society, and the emperor has this strong support, which can be described as a blessing, if the first emperor had this ...... Alas! ”
Thinking of the old things of the first emperor, the queen mother couldn't help but sigh, and waited until her emotions calmed down a little, and then continued to teach the emperor: "It is precisely because your brother-in-law is the important weapon of the country that you must use it appropriately, and you should not act rashly." Scabies minor diseases are used with tiger and wolf medicine, even if the medicine is eliminated, it is probably necessary to be weak and not replenished. Emperor, do you still remember that there is still Wei Zhou in Jiangbei, don't those internal and external ministers know? Now I only call your uncle, that is, to administer a relieving medicine, and the ministers outside the palace still have a little talent, so they should use this as a warning to quickly fix the chaos. ”
When the emperor heard this, his face showed a somewhat enlightened expression, but another question came to his mind, if the chaos could really be determined so easily and quickly, why bother to recall the uncle in one more move?
Although he and the Empress Dowager had both experienced the Su Jun Rebellion, even if the emperor was not as profound as the Empress Dowager due to his age, because he had personally experienced the panic of being monitored by the rebels at that time, he was much more vigilant than the Empress Dowager about the entry of the soldiers into the capital of Liyang.
However, the emperor was still hesitating whether to continue to ask, and the attendants outside the palace came to report that it was Yu Bing who had entered the meeting, so the emperor could only press his doubts down.
Soon, Yu Bing hurriedly walked to the temple to worship.
"At this time, don't be polite. Since Zhi Gong has arrived in the capital, what is the situation of his troops there, and does he have the confidence to quickly settle the chaos? ”
The Empress Dowager raised her hand to signal Yu Bing to sit at the table, and then asked. Although she was sure in her words when she was teaching the emperor, in fact, she was also worried about how the situation was going.
Yu Bing heard that the Empress Dowager seemed to be still looking forward to their brother to solve the Langya Township Rebellion, and thought of Yu Yi's thoughts, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said: "Zhigong is also a long-cherished Gong Gong to serve the heart, day and night vigilant and longing, because after receiving the order, he set off immediately, and the march was still smooth......
"Needless to say, my family has inherited the grace of the country for a long time, isn't this what should be done? You sue me, does Zhigong have the confidence to calm down the Langya Township Rebellion as soon as possible? Although I also have the heart to summon my brother into the internal use, but the internal and external groups, you should also work hard. ”
Facing her own brothers, the queen mother naturally had a lot less useless cover-up, waved her hand to interrupt Yu Bing's words, and continued to ask.
Yu Bing's face was bitter after hearing this: "This is where the dilemma lies, although Liyang is close to Gyeonggi and can be reached by boat, but the water is exhausted and the wind is fierce, so the march needs to be made by land." Zhigong did not know the details of the accident, and in his eagerness, he inevitably prepared inappropriately, and first marched with a small number of people, but now the soldiers are weak, and they must take a little rest and recuperate, and at the same time wait for the successor division. Moreover, after Liyang was turned into an inner town, the allocation of money and food became increasingly poor, and now it is also short of all uses, so it is really not suitable to invest in a battle in a hurry......"
What kind of results their brothers can achieve in Ki at the moment, the most important thing at the moment is the support of the Empress Dowager. Only with a preliminary foothold and stability, with the development of the situation, the oppression brought by the Jingzhou side to the Taiwan assistants will gradually become prominent.
So although the two brothers had decided that they could not directly participate in the battle, they did not dare to explicitly refuse the empress dowager and disobey her wishes, so on the way back, Yu Bing also thought about it for a long time and came up with some excuses to delay temporarily.
Hearing Yu Bing say this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be disappointed. At the beginning of the news of the chaos in Langya Township, she was indeed panicked, but after calming down, she was looking forward to snickering, thinking that this was a good opportunity to completely cut off the Wang family.
You must know that Langya Wang is a thorn in her heart, and even the dead Wang Dao Airong is unwilling to give it. It was dragged down before, and it has been shaken by the frequent persuasion of the Taiwan assistants, and it happened that at this time, the children of the Wang family died by themselves, which made the queen mother see the possibility of avenging the first emperor!
She is in the dynasty for a long time, and she naturally knows the current atmosphere of the court, although the Taiwanese assistants are happy to help her suppress the Wang family, but if she really kills the entire Langya Wang family, these people will definitely prevaricate and refuse to carry it out.
Outsiders may think that she forcibly summoned Yu Yi into the palace because of the panic of the frightened bird, but in fact she wanted to use her brother to completely kill the Wang family.
Of course, there are also rumors in the current situation that the Langya Wang family and Yu Yi have an adulterous relationship, but this is also a kind of slander in the eyes of the queen mother, you must know that Wang Yunzhi, who gathered the villagers to make trouble, has a grudge against the Yu family to kill his father. How can the two sides reach a consensus?
Over the years, the queen mother has not seen some intrigues and tricks that cannot be put on the table, and she is convinced that this is nothing more than another plot by the ministers to prevent her from using her mother's family. It's just that now, how can she be easily manipulated by others anymore.
But when she heard Yu Bing's many words and said that she couldn't go to war, the queen mother was very dissatisfied in her heart, and she opened her mouth and was ready to scold, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that the emperor who was still in the palace also wanted to save Yu Bing's decency for her elders, so she asked the emperor to leave first.
After the emperor left the palace, the queen mother's face sank, and she pointed at Yu Bing and said, "Now that my family is talking privately, I don't have to hide it." Ji Jian, you have lived in the capital in recent years, and you and I have often met, usually you often speak in front of me because you have the ambition to serve the country and cannot be used by the king, and the court gate grows together, don't I know what you are thinking in your heart? ”
"Probably you yourself also complained in your heart that I only valued my in-laws and didn't care about my family over the years, but didn't I trust my mother's family in previous years, so how did my brother repay me? I don't care about my safety, honor or disgrace, the danger of social security is about to collapse in the hands of my family, and the great evil has been exposed at that time, and I can't rest until I die. If I continue to force my brother into the fold regardless of the current situation, how is this any different from the evil woman who corrupts the ancestral business of the society? ”
Hearing the Queen Mother's tone becoming colder, a layer of fine sweat also welled up on Yu Bing's forehead, but he really didn't expect the Queen Mother's reaction to be so intense.
He was just about to say a few words, but soon the voice of the Queen Mother came into his ears again: "People are not plants and trees, how can they ignore human affection?" So as soon as I see the opportunity, I also want to arrange for my family to use and accumulate Bo Xun to make up for the old mistakes of the family. For this reason, he even ignored the disturbance of the Taiwan situation and privately called each other, but you said that I can't fight? ”
"Liyang is lacking, open your mouth and come out, then you tell me, what has Zhigong done in Liyang all these years? What kind of face do you have to say that you have a heart for serving for a long time? It's completely useless, so what's the use of my heart? ”
When the Queen Mother said this, her face became even more pale: "Even if the current situation is in danger, can it be worse than the old misfortune of the past?" Back then, my virtuous son-in-law Wei Zhou used so much strength to go to danger and chaos, but now you want to say that I am incompetent in battle? If you can't fight, what is the purpose of crossing the river with childishness? Why do you want to be virtuous? Then Ji Jian, you came to talk to me, what qualifications do you have to be unhappy? ”
When Yu Bing heard the queen mother reprimanding him so harshly, he was already sweating profusely for a while, and he couldn't speak, so he could only skip the crown and pause again and again, saying that he must urge Yu Yi to fight Langya as soon as possible, and deal with the past first.
Hearing Yu Bing's statement, the Queen Mother's face turned a little pale, and she also felt that her words were a bit serious, and ordered Yu Bing to be included in the table, before she sighed: "I have such a strong attitude, why am I not trapped in the old evil of the eldest brother." If my brothers are all talented and grow up, I will not be so poor, for example, if the Central Plains in the past years can be completed in my family, I can even look up to the ancestors of Jin Zuo and the world, and the state affairs will be entrusted to my family without hesitation. ”
The Empress Dowager consciously softened her tone, but she still felt harsh in Yu Bing's ears, which was tantamount to saying that their brother was not worthy of carrying shoes for her virtuous son-in-law Shen Weizhou, and she had no ability to pioneer at all.
After a little silence, Yu Bingcai sighed and said: "I am also honest and cowardly, and I live up to my sister's intimacy, but when it comes to the deeds of serving the country and repaying for crimes, it is really not inferior to others." The reason why this time is short and difficult is that it is not because of treacherous schemes. Zhigong came from afar, and there was no place to stay, so he could only temporarily borrow Shen Sikong's other business for use. However, the Shen clan is not a jewel and jade, but there is a lack of food and goods, so that the Zhigong soldiers are hungry and have nothing to eat......"
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she also frowned: "The Shen family's relatives are rich and boastful, how can they be shorter than material?" She didn't think there was anything wrong with Yu Yi occupying the Shen family's business, after all, it was all a state affair, and she borrowed it.
Finally brought the topic here, Yu Bing naturally no longer stayed hard, not only did he say that he was in need, but also greatly exaggerated the layout of Shen's Beiye Najian Fort, and the external meaning was all implied that Shen Chong was running such a place in, and he must not have any good intentions.
The so-called accumulation of ruined bones, the queen mother has long been dissatisfied with Shen Chong, and when she heard Yu Bing say this, the disgust on her face naturally became more obvious.
However, a lot of the grievances accumulated before were almost vented on Yu Bing, and the emotions were not very intense at this time, but he just looked at Yu Bing and said seriously: "You don't want to talk about people and wrongs, and don't notice your own faults." Although Wei Zhou was born in a despicable door, he can forge ahead as a virtuous minister of the society, and he is praised at home. From others to myself, although my family has the eldest brother who takes the lead in the old evils, as long as the brothers continue to work hard, they may not be able to do it again in the coming year! ”
Seeing that the topic fell back to him, Yu Bing also felt embarrassed, nodded his head busily, and was also thinking about how to deal with such a strong urge from the Queen Mother.
