Chapter 195 Dajing can no longer have a long princess!
Royal palace, royal garden.
Yuan Xiu held Yuan Yun's hand and walked in front, followed by eunuchs, palace maids, Heng Wenhao and other guards.
When he walked to a lotus pond, Yuan Xiu said behind him: "Just wait here, don't follow me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Heng Wenhao accepted the order and immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife and stood still, and the guards immediately dispersed.
Yuan Xiu and Yuan Yun walked forward for more than ten steps before stopping and saying, "Sister, I don't agree with you recruiting Zhao Cheng as your consort."
Seeing Yuan Xiu bluntly vetoing the matter, Yuan Yun was not surprised, and said calmly: "This matter was announced at the state banquet, and it will soon be known to the whole world. If you go back on your word now, you will offend the right person at home.
Prime Minister's Office, it will offend the Southern Zhou Dynasty to the outside world, this is not a good decision."
"Sister, have you forgotten what happened when you were a child? When I first ascended the throne, how much grievances did we both suffer?"
Yuan Xiu said with a serious look: "The Empress Dowager Feng listened to the government behind the curtain, and her relatives were misbehaving. Several regents were doing their own things, and they all roasted me on the fire for their own benefit! At that time, everyone in Tianze Palace regarded me as a puppet.
, don’t even take me seriously!”
"It was you, my sister! You asked me to endure the humiliation and pretend to be a young kid to confuse them. My sister was working in the dark, developing the power of the royal family and gradually allowing the Yuan family members to infiltrate all parts of the court, while at the same time instigating Zhao Huan and
Those relationships with my relatives allow Zhao Huan to be used by me."
"In the end, I relied on Zhao Huan and the emperor's uncle, Champion Wang, to overthrow them, but I still couldn't take charge. Fortunately, the emperor's uncle was his own family after all, and he also led troops all year round, so he didn't have many constraints on me, but Zhao Huan gave me at that time
The pressure, sister, have you forgotten?"
"When Zhao Huan reprimanded me, no one in the civil or military court dared to refute him!!"
"Later on, if I hadn't promoted Wen Tai to check and balance Zhao Huan, and if the emperor's uncle took the initiative to guard the south for Dajing and leave the center of the imperial court, I could have used the opportunity to drive Zhao Huan to Yanchuan. Otherwise, let alone me being able to
If you take charge of the government at the age of six, you may not be able to take power even if you wait until you are twenty-six!"
Yuan Xiu blushed and said excitedly: "My sister is now recruiting Zhao Cheng as her consort. Even if the Youxiang Mansion cannot move to Changsui, Zhao Cheng, as the eldest son of Zhao Huan and the heir to the Youxiang Mansion, if he stays in Changsui, Guangzhou
Making connections and managing with heart is equivalent to Zhao Huan coming back!"
"Sister! You know Zhao Huan, you can't give him a chance!"
Yuan Yun listened patiently to Yuan Xiu's words, but shook her head and said: "It is precisely because I know Zhao Huan's character that I feel that you are worrying too much about this matter. Don't forget that back then, it was Zhao Huan who was able to personally govern you.
Huan defeated Empress Dowager Feng and her relatives for you. When you were able to take charge of the throne, it was Zhao Huan who retreated bravely without fighting or rushing."
"He is forced to have no choice!" Yuan Xiu argued: "The emperor's uncle has left, how dare he not leave? I have already worshiped Wen Tai as the left prime minister, which is obviously reducing his power! If he doesn't leave,
Then the only solution is to kill the fish and defeat the net!”
Yuan Yun chuckled lightly and said: "You are too naive. The emperor's uncle had already gone to Yunjing at that time. If Zhao Huan really wanted to defeat him, could Wen Tai at that time help you block the powerful Zhao Huan?"
Yuan Xiu raised his eyebrows and fell into silence.
"I know what you are thinking. You ascended the throne at the age of eleven and lived a life of fear until you took office at the age of sixteen. There was Empress Dowager Feng before you and Zhao Huan behind you. Their power overwhelmed you. But my sister wants to
Let me tell you, you have grown up and should not be forever affected by the shadow of fear in your childhood."
Yuan Yun covered Yuan Xiu's hand and said: "I look at people not only in the past, but also in the present. Regarding the judgment of the past, I think Zhao Huan retreated to Yanchuan bravely because of his loyalty to Dajing. He
I didn't want the court to be in turmoil and the country to be in chaos, so I returned the power to you. Looking at Zhao Huan now, he never asked the court for anything, nor did he ask you to come back. Even the three expeditions in the past five years were requested by the court.
They wanted him to come out of the mountain. But after it was done, did the court give him the honor and reward he deserved?"
"No? But did Zhao Huan have an extreme reaction? No, right?"
"The moment he left Changsui five years ago, Zhao Huan had already given up on joining politics. Now he just wants to live out his old age happily. This is how I know him."
"Brother, don't be wary of such a person. On the contrary, if you want to be wary of someone, I remind you to be wary of the Wen family. The Wen family has developed too fast in the past five years."
Yuan Xiu leaned against the fence next to the lotus pond, thought for a while and then said: "Perhaps my sister has not cared about government affairs in these years and has lost her sensitivity. Or maybe my sister is about to become Zhao Huan's daughter-in-law, and she has no feelings for Zhao Huan."
The view is biased.”
Yuan Yun frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"My meaning is very simple. Wen Tai must be careful, and Zhao Huan must be careful! Even the emperor's uncle who is far away in Yunjing must be careful!" Yuan Xiu's face became extremely fierce, and he said sternly: "A tiger is a tiger, even if he is napping.
No matter how old you are, as long as you get off the mountain, you will be a tiger, and you cannot turn into a cat!"
Yuan Yun sighed and said: "It seems that you are determined to disagree."
"Yes, I have never violated your wishes, but this time, I will never agree!" Yuan Xiu said firmly.
Yuan Yun took a deep look at Yuan Xiu, and then knelt down on her knees.
Yuan Xiu was shocked and immediately went to help Yuan Yun, but Yuan Yun wouldn't get up.
Yuan Xiu said angrily: "Sister, for the sake of Zhao Cheng, is it more than this?!"
Yuan Yun said: "You are the emperor, I should kneel to you, so this kneeling is not that my sister kneels down to my brother, but I, Yuan Yun, beg the emperor to let me go!"
"Let you go??" Yuan Xiu was a little confused and asked: "What do you mean by letting you go??!"
Yuan Yun lowered her head and said: "I'm not young anymore. It's hard to meet the person I like this time, and I have the opportunity to pursue happiness. If I don't seize it, there are only two possibilities for my future."
"One is to die of old age in the palace, miserable and miserable, silently counting the passing years with an anxious heart, and dying in depression."
"One is that if Zhou Jinghuan comes again, I will eventually become a pawn of the empire's responsibility and be married to a country where I am unfamiliar."
Yuan Xiu immediately said: "This is impossible! I will not do this to you!"
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Your Majesty is still young, full of enthusiasm, and has the courage to protect your sister. But as you grow older and experience more, your blood will cool down."
Yuan Yun raised her head, looked at Yuan Xiu with tears in her eyes, and said: "Yuan Yun has never begged the emperor, and my sister has never begged my brother. Just this time, let me go."
"Dajing can no longer have an eldest princess!"
Yuan Xiu was shocked: "What?? You want to give up your identity as the eldest princess of Dajing for Zhao Cheng??!"
