Chapter 239: Opening a Yamen and Building a Mansion
"Your Highness, you can leave these high-sounding reasons to others. Do you think I will believe them?" Liu Ruxu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"The Queen Mother is right. These words are indeed high-sounding. But if the Queen Mother didn't want to get rid of the eldest princess, why would I take such a trick?"
After finishing speaking, Li Yunxing raised his head and looked at Liu Ruxu, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Liu Ruxu frowned and stared at Li Yunxing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really becoming more and more eloquent, even I dare to arrange it!" Liu Ruxu said through gritted teeth.
Although Li Yunxing was smiling, the gloomy look in his eyes was clearly visible.
He had been planning this for a long time, how could he give up because of Liu Ruxu's empty words of "The Emperor does not agree".
"Mother, you are the lord of the first palace. I dare not make any mistakes, but you'd better realize one thing clearly. I am the prince, and you are only the queen after all."
It was an ancestral instruction that the harem should not interfere with politics. He believed that Liu Ruxu knew this better than anyone else. If he dared to interfere randomly again, be careful that he would turn his back on others.
"Your Highness, you should also know that I have many ways to make your plan fail."
With her identity here, even though Li Yunxing was very scheming and deep in the city, he still had nothing to do with her.
Once Liu Ruxu assumed the posture of a queen, even Li Yunxing had to think twice.
The atmosphere between the two instantly felt like the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the surrounding temperature plummeted several degrees, making people's hair stand on end.
If the place where the eyes met was tangible, it would be the light and shadow of swords, extremely intense.
After a while, Li Yunxing chuckled and said, "The Queen is right. I should restrain my temper. Otherwise, if I always annoy the Queen, will I be able to sit on the throne of the prince safely in the future?"
These words seemed peaceful, but they contained a strong sense of threat.
He was well aware of Liu Ruxu's character. Such a tough woman would never allow anyone to challenge her dignity and authority, not to mention that she had indeed done him a big favor.
Liu Ruxu heard that Li Yunxing had surrendered in front of her for the first time, which was rare.
"Your Majesty, what you said is too exaggerated." Liu Ruxu snorted softly and calmed down the momentum just now.
She understood that if she were to be aggressive now, she would probably arouse Li Yunxing's jealousy.
Although the two are destined to be incompatible, it does not mean that Liu Rushu will break up with Li Yunxing at this juncture.
Seeing that she had restrained her arrogance, Li Yunxing continued, "Nothing in this world can escape the ears of the queen, and I naturally understand the painstaking efforts of the queen."
Although he was wary of Liu Ruxu, she was still the queen, and this weight was enough to deter him.
What's more, now that the Wu Dynasty is experiencing internal and external troubles, she needs to contain the entire situation.
He would not be so stupid as to ruin the entire chess game just because of a mere Liu Ruxu.
After Liu Ruxu heard this, she nodded slightly with satisfaction and said, "If you are willing to follow my suggestion, it will save you a lot of trouble, but if it is done, you must promise your mother and concubine something."
thing."
"Oh? Mother, please speak."
"Everyone of you has taken part in the fight against the Huns this time, except for one person..."
Liu Ruxu turned around and looked out the window, leaving only the peripheral vision of her eyes.
After Li Yunxing heard this, his eyes turned and he understood instantly.
It turns out that Liu Ruxu's trip was to seek an explanation for the second prince Li Yunxing.
"The Second Prince is used to being pampered and pampered. Does the Queen Mother still want me to send him to the battlefield?"
Li Yunxing's voice was cold, but his tone was undeniably domineering.
Sure enough, I heard Liu Ruxu continue to say, "That's not necessary."
Previously, after Li Yunxing sent Su Zhaoyang to the capital, he was not only injured, but also came back with the crime of "losing food and grass", and finally died unexpectedly.
If the second prince is allowed to go rashly again, who knows how many unexpected changes will happen secretly.
She wanted to seize power with Li Yunxing, not pave the way for Li Yunxing, so naturally she would not let the second prince take risks.
"The second prince has now reached the age of opening a palace, and the affairs of the court should be arranged. I feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been working hard day and night. If the Second Prince is there to help, the Crown Prince will be able to relax a lot."
After Liu Ruxu finished speaking, she looked at Li Yunxing with a smile, waiting for his answer.
Opening a government office and building a mansion is a top priority for a prince. If a royal man has been unable to open a government office and build a mansion, it means that he is still "underage" conceptually.
Then, the prince cannot get married, own his own mansion, have his own vassals, or be crowned king or general. Most importantly, he is not qualified to participate in government affairs.
Liu Ruxu took this opportunity to find Li Yunxing, just because she wanted the second prince to start learning court politics.
After all, the second prince is now fifteen years old and will have to go to court sooner or later.
Moreover, only when the second prince goes to court can he better control the military power and prepare for his future accession to the throne.
Li Yunxing's mind was so delicate that he understood Liu Ruxu's plan at a glance.
But his expression didn't change at all, he remained calm and calm.
Liu Ruxu's original purpose of coming this time was to give the second prince a chance to attend the morning court.
Once the second prince has the opportunity to go to court and appears in the court, the threat he poses to the court and the prince will be nothing more than a kind of fire.
It will only make the political affairs of the Wu Dynasty more muddy.
When Li Yunxing heard this, he just curled his lips and smiled, showing no intention of agreeing.
"Queen, I am the prince, not my father. If this prince wants to open an office and build a palace under the imperial system of the Wu Dynasty, he must be canonized by the emperor himself in order to be effective. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?"
Seeing Li Yunxing's tough attitude, Liu Ruxu's eyes flashed.
"Your Highness, Emperor Wu is seriously ill now. As long as you are willing to nod, who in the court would dare not to listen."
Li Yunxing hesitated when he heard the words, and then sneered: "What the Empress said is really funny. Isn't there you, the Empress, on top of this palace? How can you ignore the laws of the country for your own selfish interests?"
Li Yunxing's sarcastic remarks made Liu Ruxu furious.
She has a noble status, dominates the harem with one hand, and has always had everything going smoothly. She has never been ridiculed and ridiculed like this.
Liu Ruxu's eyes suddenly darkened, "Prince, everything I do is for the sake of the overall situation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire study immediately fell into an awkward silence.
Neither of them spoke, they just stood quietly.
"Empress, even if you don't lay the groundwork, I am still prepared to let the second emperor's brother attend the morning court."
