The palace is so luxurious that anyone who sees it will feel that their imagination is limited by poverty.
Now tell her about the bitterness?
Meng Li looked at the emperor and shouted bitterly:
โโฆโฆ Your Majesty. โ
The Emperor sighed and said earnestly:
"National teacher, for you, just open your mouth and say, the difficulty lies here."
Meng Li said: "But the emperor, God has already given instructions, and we can't help but react, so as not to be blamed by God!" โ
The emperor glanced at Jia Zhengchu, his body changed direction, and he said:
"What does the national teacher think he should do?"
Meng Li: ......
It's so hard to communicate.
Didn't she say that the border defense should be strengthened?
Forgot again?
Meng Li said again: "The minister thinks that the border defense is empty, and the defense should be strengthened. โ
The emperor disagreed, and he said: "National teacher, no one has come to attack the border for several years, how dare you conclude that there will be disaster on the border?" โ
"The current defense can save a lot of silver taels, and the current defense force is also set up from the first emperor."
Meng Li: ......
The first emperor has accumulated power for a long time, and foreigners naturally dare not come to attack, and now that the faint monarch is in power, what is so strange that foreigners take the opportunity to enter.
Jia Zhengchu answered:
"National teacher, the emperor is right, strengthening border defense will definitely cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it will also cost the people and money, and besides, the national teacher, you are also predicting now, which is not a fact."
"Even if someone on the frontier comes to disturb you, it will be too late to dispatch troops nearby."
Meng Li ignored Jia Zhengchu and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister dares to guarantee with his life, the minister watched the sky last night, that is, there is a disaster star on the northern border, and then the barbarians will enter the city to slaughter and plunder, and the people on the border will suffer!"
โ
Then he said firmly:
"If this matter is false, the minister is willing to apologize with death, and ask the emperor to strengthen the border defense, so that the barbarian will not be able to enter the land of Daqi once!"
With that, she stroked her sleeve and knelt on the ground.
This kneeling is for the sake of the people on the border.
The emperor saw Meng Li kneeling, the national teacher didn't have to kneel to the Son of Heaven since ancient times, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, this was forcing him, he was annoyed, he stretched out his hand and retracted it:
"You...... National teacher, this ...... What is this for? โ
"Or do you think that my rule is unpopular and cannot deter barbarians?"
The emperor was moody, suddenly angry, and stared at Meng Li.
Meng Wei said that she felt so, but she didn't show it on her face:
"The minister is guilty, but the minister has no such intention, but the barbarians are never reasonable, they want to rob them when they lack food and drink, this is their fault, the emperor is wise and martial, but they can't stand up to them to embark on this road, this time there is God's will first, it is not trivial, so please also ask the emperor to strengthen the border defense!"
I had to force her to tell a lie.
Reluctant to have financial and material resources, it was the people on the border who suffered the disaster, and they were washed away by foreigners.
It was because the defense was not strengthened at that time, and the people had already come in and washed it a few times, and then withdrew.
Fortunately, this time it was just a temptation, and the troops sent were insufficient, otherwise, the border city would have been occupied.
Losing the lead is also part of the reason for losing the war.
Tempted out, went back to prepare for the preparation, and then attacked the Great Qi Dynasty in a big way.
If this battle is still lost here, it must be to boost the arrogance of the other party, and once again it is the same as the plot, raising troops to attack Daqi, and it will be a lot of misery.
It also hampers her plans.
It's a pity that it is imminent at this time, but as long as there is still time to ease, she would rather find a way to pull people to rebel than spend so much time with this emperor.
The emperor asked Meng Li what he said, and he was satisfied.
He pondered for a moment and waved his hand at Meng Li:
"National teacher, you should get up first, and this matter will be discussed tomorrow morning."
Meng Li sighed, got up and exited the council hall.
The emperor looked at Jia Zhengchu:
"What's going on with that?"
Jia Zhengchu has always been observant of words and feelings, he looked at the emperor's expression and hesitated, and he couldn't figure out which way the balance in the emperor's heart was favoring, so he had to say:
"Your Majesty, the slave is a castration, I don't understand it very well, the only thing the slave can do is to serve the emperor well and make the emperor comfortable."
The Emperor laughs:
"It's still the beginning of my speech, so I like to listen."
Immediately I was a little worried, looking at the sworn appearance of the national teacher, is it really going to war?
The emperor doesn't completely disbelieve in ghosts and gods, and doesn't respect heaven and earth, but he just thinks that the words of the female national teacher are not so convincing.
Meng Li came out of the council hall, and the little eunuch led the way, ready to leave the palace and return home.
Sigh.
Lu Yushou Taifei, Meng Li gave up:
"The concubine is well."
Concubine Shou smiled at Meng Li, this smile, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes became more obvious, and she shouted:
"Master Kuni."
Meng Li nodded and smiled, the two were not familiar with each other on weekdays, and they were limited to meeting and saying hello.
Concubine Shou is also a capable person in the harem, after the death of the first emperor, the first emperor's women are basically cold, only this Shou Taifei is one of the few who can live comfortably in the palace except for the current queen mother.
She also has a son, when the emperor ascended the throne, he was still young, and now he is crowned king, there is no fief, and he lives in Beijing, and he seems to have no sense of existence.
The next day, in the last dynasty, the emperor was still late.
The ministers waited in the hall for about half an hour before the emperor sat on the dragon chair surrounded by eunuchs.
I didn't listen to the courtiers report the matter, so I hurriedly told the courtiers about what happened with Meng Li yesterday and let the courtiers discuss.
The courtiers looked at each other, and Prime Minister Zuo looked at Meng Li:
"What the national teacher said is true?"
Before Meng Li could speak, the right prime minister snorted and looked at the left prime minister:
"Prime Minister Zuo, what do you mean by this? How can the words of the national teacher Chrysostom be false? โ
Meng Li glanced at the two old men, the left and right prime ministers disagreed many times, and there was a difference between loyalty and treachery, the left prime minister was a good sycophant emperor, and the right prime minister was straightforward, but he loved the country and the people.
It is a rare clear stream in the court.
The emperor prefers the left prime minister, but the right prime minister was entrusted by the first emperor to assist the emperor, even if he was dragging the orphan minister, the emperor was helpless.
Meng Li didn't bother to speak.
The left prime minister stared at the right prime minister proudly:
"The national teacher has just taken office, and he is still young, the old man just asked, confirm, what are you anxious about?"
Right Prime Minister: "Don't think I don't know that you despise the national teacher, think that it is harmful for a woman to be a national teacher, the position of the national teacher has transcended the world, and there is no distinction between secular men and women." โ
Meng Li: ......???
Right Prime Minister, you are so upright, let me say directly to you, what is good?
She glanced at the right prime minister strangely, and the left prime minister took the opportunity to say:
"You're the one who despises the national teacher, right? I've never thought of it that way. โ
Right Cheng looked at Meng Li's eyes, and suddenly felt embarrassed, and he said to Meng Li:
"National teacher, I don't mean that."
Prime Minister Zuo: "I know whether I have this intention or not." โ
The emperor on the dragon chair: "Okay, I'll let you discuss things, what are you arguing about?" โ
