In the Wenhua Palace, the sky had already darkened, but the palace was brightly lit. Hu Hui, Yu Qian, Shen Yi and other ministers, none of them left, they all stood quietly in the palace, waiting for the result.
However, it can be seen from the occasional whispers that the minds of these elders are not calm.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wynn is back!"
As the waiter hurried in to report, everyone's spirits were immediately lifted.
Then, when Wynn, dressed in a python robe, walked in from outside the hall, everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on him.
"My servant comes to see Your Majesty."
Wynn bowed solemnly and unhurriedly.
"No rites, what did the Holy Mother say?"
Knowing what everyone below was concerned about, Zhu Qiyu didn't mince words and asked directly.
So, Wynn bowed his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the Holy Mother said that although it was inappropriate to confer the Supreme Emperor, she was still caring about old relationships, so it would not be good to rush back. So she was asked to stay in the Nangong Palace as a female official to serve the Supreme Emperor. I wish you peace by your side."
This answer was obviously not satisfactory, and the ministers present immediately frowned.
What they wanted was for Empress Dowager Sun to issue an order to send the Mongolian woman back, so that the Ming Dynasty could stay away from the disputes in the grassland and wait and see what would happen.
But now, the canonization has been withdrawn, but the people have stayed.
Although it is not a marriage, but just staying as a female official, it is not a big deal and should not cause Tatar to speculate too much, but it still leaves some hidden worries.
After all, she was Ye Xian's younger sister. Even if we did not talk about the impact on the Tatars, her status alone always made people feel that her purpose in entering the palace was not simple.
Escape from war?
First of all, why is he so weak that he can't even protect his sister, so he wants to come to Ming Dynasty to avoid disaster?
If it really comes to this point, I'm afraid that the one who comes is not his sister, but himself first, along with a lot of Wala nobles.
After looking at each other, the eldest Hu Hui asked.
"Eunuch Wynn, this matter is not trivial. Haven't you clearly explained the impact to Our Lady?"
These words were said with a hint of questioning, and they were in front of the emperor. Therefore, we could only push the eldest Mr. Hu to take action.
However, Wynn's temper was obviously better than they thought. In other words, he had already expected this scenario, so he cupped his hands and said.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zong. Although our family did not tell Our Lady the details of this matter, we did tell Our Lady in detail about my sister's special status and influence on the court, but... …”
Wynn paused for a moment. Seeing that a group of elders seemed to have thought of something, he continued.
"But the Holy Mother said that it is just a woman who can control the war. She also said... She also said that Your Majesty is making a fuss out of a molehill. If Tuotuo Buhua really offends me because of this matter, it will only be because he has premeditated it, not because of it. There is something else to do with this matter."
The tone of these words was exactly the same as that of the Supreme Emperor, which immediately made the elders present look a little ugly.
It is true that what Empress Dowager Sun said is not unreasonable. If a war breaks out, the underlying reason must be that both sides or one of them wants to fight.
But this does not mean that the real trigger of the war is not important. At least, it determines the opportunity for the war to start. This often plays a vital role in who can win when the two sides are about the same strength.
.
Of course, Wynn's words were slightly suspected of being a denunciation.
Most of the ministers present had come into contact with the Queen Mother Sun, and had even handled political affairs with her after the Civil War.
To be fair, although the Queen Mother's political abilities are not that outstanding, she still understands the general situation and understands the overall situation in most cases.
Even if the Supreme Emperor could not drive away the Mongolian woman due to the friendship he had in Yibei, why did the Queen Mother Sun do it?
Wynn naturally felt the suspicion of everyone present, but he didn't care.
At this time, the emperor frowned and said, seemingly a little dissatisfied.
"I sent you to deliver the message, so naturally you should explain everything to the Holy Mother in detail. But you just said that you only told the Holy Mother about the impact of this matter, but you did not explain the deliberate plans and calculations of Bedu and others.
What is everything about the Supreme Emperor?"
Seeing this situation, Wynn's face froze, and he seemed a little hesitant. However, the emperor had to answer his questions, so after just a moment, Wynn continued.
"Your Majesty, when I arrived at Cining Palace, Eunuch Ruan Lang was also there. At that time, as soon as I entered Cining Palace, the Holy Mother asked my slave if she was here because of the Supreme Emperor's proposal to marry a Mongolian woman. She also said that Eunuch Ruan Lang had already
This matter was informed to her, so the slave did not elaborate on the ins and outs of this matter with the Holy Mother."
Okay, now the case is solved!
Who is Ruan Lang?
He was a close eunuch of the Supreme Emperor, and was personally selected by Empress Dowager Sun to serve in Nangong.
What could be the reason for him appearing in Cining Palace at this time?
The elders almost didn't even need to think about it, and they understood that it must have been sent by the Supreme Emperor. Moreover, in all likelihood, it was because they expected that the Emperor would go to Cining Palace to find Empress Dowager Sun after failing to find him. Therefore, in advance,
Let Ruan Lang pass and block this road too.
Otherwise, how can we explain that what the Empress Dowager Sun said was exactly the same as that of the Supreme Emperor?
If you put it this way, it can be explained.
After all, the Empress Dowager Sun is the biological mother of the Supreme Emperor. Even if she cares about the overall situation, she is not familiar with court affairs. In her eyes, the Supreme Emperor's words are definitely more trustworthy than those of people from other dynasties.
So in all likelihood, the Queen Mother really believed what the Emperor said and felt that a mere Mongolian woman had nothing to do with the overall situation, so she took her in anyway.
If you think about it this way, it is easy to understand Empress Dowager Sun's edict.
To make a sister of the Wala leader who once kidnapped the Supreme Emperor a concubine, the Queen Mother could not afford to disgrace this person. However, since the Supreme Emperor insisted and it was not a big deal, she could barely give the Supreme Emperor some face and stay in the palace to serve her...
The ministers automatically restored the whole story and couldn't help but feel a headache. It seemed that there was no chance of finding the Empress Dowager Sun to issue the order.
Among the crowd, only Master Hu had a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he vaguely understood something.
However, when he raised his head, he saw the emperor's half-smiling look, and quickly lowered his head, looking at his nose and heart, and looking at the lines on the carpet, pretending that he didn't know anything.
However, even if this was the case, Wynn on the side still seemed to feel that it was not enough and continued.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the treatment of the Mongolian woman, Our Lady also has a few words for me to tell your Majesty and all the elders."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present immediately gathered, and even the emperor cheered up and asked.
"What words?"
So, under the gaze of everyone, Hua En said.
"The Holy Mother said that when the Emperor gave the Zen throne to His Majesty, he believed that Your Majesty could stabilize the country and protect the peace of the ancestors and the country. Now there are many virtuous ministers in the court to assist. If the Ming Dynasty can win once, it will definitely be able to win the second.
This time, she believes that even if the war breaks out again, His Majesty and the many courtiers in the court will be able to deal with it properly..."
If Empress Dowager Sun were here, she would immediately become furious.
What did she ask Wynn to convey?
These words were indeed said by her, but they were meant to block Wynn's mouth. When did she ask him to convey them?
However, such small details are obviously not what the ministers in the palace care about now.
In other words, even if they knew it, they wouldn't care. After all, it's not easy to say such things casually. In front of the emperor, Wynn would definitely not have the guts to lie.
Therefore, the content of these words is far more important than the way in which they are conveyed.
As long as it was said by Empress Dowager Sun, even if it was not said through Huaien's mouth at this time, there would be other channels for the news to spread.
After all, there can be no lies.
And the content of these words... really makes people feel a little uncomfortable!
Ming Litou's words were to praise the emperor and the ministers for being able to "safeguard the country and protect the ancestors and the country." But in fact, the implicit meaning of the words was that if you can't handle such a small thing, what do you want to do?
However, how can a soldier's deadly weapon be blurted out so easily?
Not to mention that the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been fully restored, the Miao land is in constant war, and there are many major issues in the court that need to be dealt with urgently, so it is not appropriate to start a war rashly.
Even if a war breaks out and can be won, the number of soldiers and civilians who will die when the upper lip touches the lower lip is immeasurable.
Now, the Queen Mother's words, "Even if war breaks out again, I believe that Your Majesty and the ministers in the court can deal with it properly", she said it lightly, but if you take a closer look, no matter how you listen to it, you will feel uncomfortable!
Therefore, after listening, everyone's expressions were quite ugly. After a while, the chief assistant Wang Ao said.
"Your Majesty, what the Holy Mother said is wrong. The affairs of the imperial court are complicated and complex, and one hair can affect the whole body. It is the duty of ministers to be careful and cautious to ensure the safety of the Sheji Ancestral Temple. However, if you can take care of yourself alone, you will not be involved. Why should I, the Ming Dynasty, rush there when we enter the grassland and see the flames of war?"
"The Holy Mother lives deep in the palace, so she may not know much about the affairs of the Sheji Dynasty, so what she said is biased. I think this matter needs to be disclosed to the Holy Mother again. The Mongolian woman staying in the Nangong still needs to be considered. .”
What Wang Ao said was not tactful, it could even be said to be bold, but in this special scenario, it was understandable.
You must know that the words of Empress Dowager Sun just now were only carried by the ministers. The core target of accusation should be the emperor who is currently sitting on the throne.
Otherwise, she would not specifically emphasize that "the Supreme Emperor gave the throne to the emperor because he believed that the emperor could stabilize the country." On the other hand, this sentence means that if the emperor cannot stabilize the country, why should he take the throne?
Therefore, the first time the ministers heard this sentence, they were worried that the emperor would be angry because of this. If so, the situation would become even more ugly.
Therefore, Wang Ao spoke out the words first to prevent the emperor from saying these words and causing irreversible consequences.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yi also followed.
"Yes, your majesty, the Holy Mother has been in the harem for a long time after all. She must have been unaware of it for a while and failed to understand the reasons, so she issued this edict. I believe that as long as your majesty explains the reason clearly to the Holy Mother, the Holy Mother will definitely understand. Reason, change of mind."
However, in the face of the two men's persuasion, Zhu Qiyu's face remained cold and he did not respond.
At this time, Yu Qian on the side shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, I think that although what Shen Shangshu and Chief Assistant said is reasonable, they did not say the key point."
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu's expression changed and he asked.
"So Mr. Yu, what do you think is the key point?"
"Of course it is with the Supreme Emperor!"
Yu Shaobao has always been straightforward and dares to speak out!
In one sentence, everyone's attention was successfully focused on him.
But this time, Zhu Qiyu became interested and continued to ask.
"Why do you say that?"
So, Yu Qian cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty is aware that the two adults have just said that the Holy Mother lives deep in the palace and is not familiar with government affairs. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make decisions on matters involving government affairs."
"However, the Supreme Emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years. He should understand that the complicated relationship between Oara and Tatar, as well as with me, the Ming Dynasty, and the identity of Yexian's sister is so special. Accepting her in the palace will inevitably have inestimable effects on the relationship between the three parties. Influence."
"However, even so, the Supreme Emperor still sent Ruan Lang to Cining Palace to lobby the Holy Mother. This move was actually done for his own selfish reasons, regardless of national affairs!"
I have to say that only Yu Qian dared to say these words.
However, it was more than that. Amidst everyone's doubtful eyes, Yu Qian continued.
"In addition, Our Lady's handling of this matter was also quite inappropriate."
"The Holy Mother has said that your Majesty is now in charge of all matters in the DPRK. Even if you cannot clearly determine the twists and turns, you should know that your Majesty sent Eunuch Huai'en to pass the message after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons of all parties. It is also for the stability of the DPRK situation.
, the actions of Border Peace.”
"However, the Holy Mother only relied on Ruan Lang's words to realize that the matter was innocuous and concluded that your Majesty was making a fuss out of a molehill and issued an edict to keep the Mongolian woman in the palace. It was really an arbitrary move!"
Yes, this time the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were scolded together.
One is disregarding the overall situation, and the other is biased, which are not good words anyway.
However, after the emperor listened, his expression was a little unpredictable. He was silent for a moment and asked.
"In Mr. Yu's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"
So, Yu Qian raised his head and said with determination.
"Your Majesty, please send another message to implore the Queen Mother to rescind the imperial edict, and at the same time send orders to the Wala envoy to leave the capital within a time limit. After that, the Ministry of War will check them one by one according to the roster to ensure that the people leaving the capital and the people entering the capital are the same, and no one is missed!
"
As soon as the words fell, the Wenhua Palace suddenly became audible, and the boss's eyes fell on Yu Qian's body, all of which were extremely complicated...
