Chapter 872 Dilemma

Everything that happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival night's sacrifice was soon known to the empress dowager. What she was worried about was that the young emperor seemed not to be interested in the concubines selected by her and the ministers. Instead, she was very interested in the two "old lovers". This would not only affect the plan to spread the royal family, but also affect the young emperor's in charge of the rule. In fact, Empress Dowager Yang was also very self-aware. She knew that her governing ability was limited, but in order to help the young emperor clear the obstacles to rule in the future, she still followed the court and temporarily put the young emperor aside on the advice of strict courtesy.

However, the initial decision of Jiangnan was complicated, and many major matters were required to be reviewed by Empress Dowager Yang. Although there were many ministers to assist in the administration, she still felt very difficult and transferred major matters to the young emperor for handling, but she still felt unsatisfied. Moreover, she was also very aware that the young emperor would not only neglect government affairs during the long term, but also misunderstand the ministers and cause some things for no reason.

Now that Empress Dowager Yang has been in power for nearly half a year, she has been in charge of the government. According to her plan, she wants to get the little emperor to marry this year and then take charge of the rule. But this naughty child is not only unhappy, but also has so many things to do. It is really inappropriate to sing those erotic platitudes in public with the slang girl. If it is spread, it will damage the royal reputation, but it will also say that the little emperor is absurd and ruin the worldly style. This kind of ugly thing cannot be told to outsiders. Empress Dowager Yang can only summon Yingjieyan to ask him to persuade him. Who made him the imperial teacher?

As the saying goes, "No one knows a son is better than a father." Although Ying Jieyan is an imperial teacher, he also acted as a father in his growth. He naturally knew his temper very well, had many advantages and was also prominent in character, and was often very stubborn about what he had identified, that is, it was very difficult for others to convince him to change his mind. Therefore, to make this happen, you must find a different approach, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed.

Ying Jieyan thought about it for a long time, and he thought that although the little emperor was strong, he was not without weaknesses. One was filial piety, and he thought that he had been in power since he was five years old and controlled the overall situation. The empress dowager asked him to "cultivate" with one sentence, and the little emperor obediently handed over power and left the court. This would never be done without filial piety; the other was that the little emperor always put state affairs first, and could make concessions even if he suffered great grievances.

So, Ying Jieyan decided to use this to convince the young emperor to follow the arrangements of the empress dowager and the ministers, and brought Liu Fu as a companion, preparing to play one with a red face and the other with a white face and take him down. Someone wrote a letter to ask the civil officials to take charge of military affairs and enter the Privy Council, which was not a nonsense of his red mouth and white teeth, but Qu Gao and Wu were not as serious as he said.

But the development of the matter was beyond the expectations of the two. As soon as they spoke, they were blocked by the little emperor's depressed words. Not only did they show indifference to state affairs, but they even wanted to abandon the country and leave, and opened up a new world. They no longer wanted to be rigged by their mercy and court affairs, and lived a leisurely life. The little emperor said sincerely and could not tell the truth for a while. In this way, their plan was completely ruined, and they also made themselves nervous and dared not say what they wanted to say...

"Oh, and my father, this is better than the blue!" Seeing this, Liu Fu smiled and shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, I'm old." Ying Jieyan also said with a wry smile. He wanted to attack him in a roundabout way, but the little emperor beat him up and wiped him out, but instead he fell into a passive state. Thinking that the master was slandered by his apprentice, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"You are both my masters and trusted officials. I have always relied on them and never hide them from them when I have any problems, but you shouldn't work together to plot against me!" Zhao Bing said with a cold face as if he was wronged.

"I have to let Your Majesty down on your trust, I hope I will forgive you!" Ying Jieyan bowed to the little emperor and said.

"Sir, how dare I bear it!" Zhao Bing hurriedly replied, then quickly got up and poured tea ceremony for the two of them.

"Although I have the suspicion of deceiving the king with my father, I have no selfishness, all for the sake of Your Majesty!" Liu Fu said with politeness.

"I see that you and the other two are selfish!" Zhao Bing said angrily.

"Your Majesty, don't blame me for wrongly accusing me. Have you ever had selfish thoughts?" Liu Fu cried out and said, "After hearing this, he cried out."

"Since you have no selfish intentions, why are there no one in the candidates in the You clan, and no one in the Mr. Clan? Isn't you having selfish thoughts?" Zhao Bing asked back.

"This... Your Majesty, all the women of the right age in my family are married, I will not agree!" Liu Fu did not expect that the little emperor's selfishness was like this, and he was a little amused and laughed.

"Your Majesty, all the daughters in my family have been married, and the granddaughter, who is only one or five years old among my grandchildren, has not had a marriage contract. If Your Majesty is willing to wait for a few more years, I will send him to the palace candidate." Ying Jieyan also said after hearing this.

"You must have received the news, so you will make an engagement contract for a woman of the right age in the clan and come to make excuses for me!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true!" Liu Fu waved his hands repeatedly, but he didn't know how to explain.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to ask me to enter the palace for my daughter? Is there any news?" Ying Jieyan said strangely when he saw that the little emperor didn't seem to be messing around.

"You two, I know the truth and the truth, are loyal to the court, and are highly respected, knowledgeable and talented. The children in the family will definitely not be wrong. Why do you need to be picky and choose? I just make it the queen directly? Why do you need to be so worried? You have to bother with your two gentlemen to come and advise." Zhao Bing sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty trusts me so much, which makes me panic." Ying Jieyan and the others looked at each other, and they both felt it was too ridiculous. He politely said to the young emperor, "The girls selected this time are all the women from innocent families selected by various prefectures. They are both good and talented. And the five girls selected after the election are from famous families, with good looks, outstanding talents, and virtuous virtues. Can none of them be seen by Your Majesty?"

"well……"

"Your Majesty, don't be willful. I heard from the Empress Dowager. After worshiping the moon, Your Majesty wanted to release more than ten beautiful girls from the palace. Is it all unsatisfactory?" Liu Fu saw that the little emperor just sighed and persuaded him.

"What do you want me to say, two of you?" Zhao Bing said with a bitter face.

"Have Your Majesty been too picky? These beautiful girls have been carefully selected. It won't be so unbearable, right?" Seeing the little emperor's appearance, Ying Jieyan felt increasingly unsure and asked with a frown.

"It's not that I'm picky. Both of you know that my food and clothing have always been simple and vulgar. Although the food after the moon sacrifice that day was not exquisite, it was much better than what I usually used. But many people were unwilling to eat and could not swallow it. I asked them to leave the palace for their sake, so as not to be wronged in the palace." Zhao Bing explained hurriedly.

"This... Your Majesty's words are not false, but it is too hasty to decide whether to stay or not." The little emperor's reasons seem sufficient, but you should know that even women in wealthy families are not a must-eat for every meal, especially when they are having a banquet, they always taste it briefly to appear reserved and well-educated. However, the little emperor used military standards to ask them not to allow leftovers, which was really difficult for them to do, Liu Fu said.

"Are they sloppy? Once they are elected, they will be the mother of the world, representing the royal family, and they will be rich and frugal in every day, but they will ask the people to be thrifty in the family. How can they convince the people of the world?" Zhao Bing asked back.

"Your Majesty, this may be just because they had a meal with You for the first time. They were nervous and they did not understand Your Majesty's rules. It is also forgiven. Your Majesty does not have to be serious about this small matter." Ying Jieyan felt that what he said was reasonable, but he must not follow it at this moment, otherwise the matter would be even more impossible.

"It is a good thing for Your Majesty to choose concubines to be more rigorous, but it cannot be too harsh." Liu Fu saw that the young emperor wanted to open his mouth to refute, so he said first, "I have seen the portrait of the daughter of the Cheng family. I am as beautiful as a flower. I have heard that I have been taught since I was a child, and I am knowledgeable and talented, and I am good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I also learn to manage the family with my mother. It must be good!"

"Haha, did Governor Liu take the benefits of their family and help him lobby so hard!" Zhao Bing heard this and pointed at Liu Fu and said.

"Where is your Majesty saying this? Although I and his ancestors have been ministers in the same palace, they have never had a close relationship with each other, and there is no way to talk about the benefits they receive!" Liu Fu was shocked and hurriedly defended himself.

"I see that the daughter of the Wu family is beautiful and good at singing and dancing. However, her virtues are far inferior. Not only do she like extravagance, but she also likes extravagance and has too much selfishness. If she is selected, the harem will not catch fire, and it will be a war every day. Besides, it is not easy for me to earn some money, so I can't afford it." Zhao Bing sighed and shook his head and said authentically.

"Your Majesty only hurriedly, how can you know? Don't just listen to it and believe it!" Ying Jieyan was surprised. How the little emperor knew about this, and he couldn't help but suspect that he had heard the slander and frowned and reminded him.

"Mr. I once taught that you should observe your actions and not make arbitrary judgments when you hear your words. I followed your instructions and looked carefully before I knew it. If Mr. I saw what he did at that time, I would probably be deeply dissatisfied." Zhao Bing said.

"Your Majesty is careful!" Although Ying Jieyan was choked back by the little emperor, he knew that he had extraordinary abilities in his knowledge of people. He could only sigh, "I think the daughter of the Lei family is good. She was born in a farming and studying family. Her life must be simple and good at managing the family."

"What the sir said is right, but the Lei family's daughter is one of the few people who eat all the meals. She only heard that she is good at managing the family. She got rid of poverty and became rich in a few years after taking charge of the family. Her family is well-off, but it is very suitable for my spleen and stomach." Zhao Bing nodded repeatedly and said.

"If there is such a thing, you must not be the last one!" Ying Jieyan waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this.

"Why is this?" Zhao Bing asked back.

"If you are good at managing, you must be good at calculating. Your Majesty doesn't want the harem to become a place for merchants!" Ying Jie Yan Lue explained after thinking. He knew very well that the little emperor was already good at making money. If the couple had this good, then he would not dare to think about what the harem of the Song Dynasty would become.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and all the ministers think that the daughter of the Wu family is the best and is the queen's first choice. I wonder what your Majesty wants?" Liu Fu was really qualified. He was worried that the little emperor would mention it again, so he immediately changed his mind and skipped the other two and took out the trump card.

"Your Majesty, the three wise men of the Wu family are loyal to the king and serve the country, and are in charge of the government and love the people. They are actually the officials of the country. The daughter who has such family education must be wrong. And the ministers have also heard of her virtuous and virtuous, and have a good family spirit. Anyone who has seen her will say that she is appropriate in treating people and treats things well and speaks and acts generously and appropriately." Ying Jieyan quickly agreed. This time he also learned to be smart. He no longer said that he only heard about himself, but added other people's comments to increase persuasion.

"Sir, I'm right. As I see, it's really true, it's hard to pick out anything. But..." Zhao Bing touched his chin thoughtfully, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Since Your Majesty can't see anything, it must be good. The Empress Dowager is very satisfied with it, so don't be picky anymore." Ying Jieyan snatched the words and said.

"Sir, it's not too late to judge after I finish my words!" Zhao Bing was a little funny. Why is this old man more anxious than himself? He is not marrying a wife. "It is because he is too calm and decent that I suspect that he has known my habits and likes and dislikes in advance. The Wu family is huge and has many officials, many of them have old age with officials in the court. They find out my privacy and then deliberately guide him to agree with me."

"Your Majesty makes sense. If this is true, then the Wu family will send him to the election will have a deep meaning." Ying Jieyan became nervous when he heard this. You should know that inquiring about the emperor's privacy is a big deal, and it also shows that he has ulterior motives. In addition, the Wu family is powerful and is incompatible with the officials in the court. Then a group of relatives will inevitably form. If there is cooperation in the palace, he will definitely have the ability to control the government and affect the emperor's judgment.

"Yes, you must be careful. This matter needs to be reviewed in detail, and you must not be careless!" Liu Fu became cautious after hearing this and nodded.

"I said that the matter of the Empress Dowager should not be too hasty, and should be done with caution. After you go back, you should still persuade the Empress Dowager more. Don't lose the big picture because of the small, and be in a hurry and will cause endless disasters!" Zhao Bing said when he saw this.

"Oh, the daughter of the Chen family is most in line with Your Majesty's wishes, right?" Ying Jieyan felt something was wrong after hearing this, and then thought about it and said in confusion.

"Sir, right." Zhao Bing admitted this time, "Chen Shu met me since she was a child, and his father and uncle were also familiar with me. She can be said to be aware of the roots and bottom lines. Although he acted casually and seemed rude, he was kind-hearted and could distinguish between big things. But...ah!"

"Why did Your Majesty sigh?" Liu Fu asked anxiously as he heard a lot of helplessness and sadness in His Majesty's sigh.

"The Chen brothers are all important officials in the court. My confidant is a very useful wise minister and general. Once they are made the queen, their brothers will inevitably resign and resign as usual, and then the country will inevitably lose its pillars and make me embarrassed!" Zhao Bing sighed again.
