Chapter 258 The late emperors orphan is given to the Southern Barbarian King, and the empress reveals her feelings
, willing to accept Xu Qingxiao
Marquis Xinwu's voice was not loud, but his tone was full of nervousness.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao was a little shocked.
"The prince is here?"
Xu Qingxiao frowned and looked at Marquis Xinwu, his eyes full of doubts.
When did another prince come?
Marquis Xinwu did not continue, but glanced at Yang Hu, his meaning was very simple.
"It's one of our own."
Xu Qingxiao did not let Yang Hu leave, but said very directly, this is one of his own, there is no need to be careful.
As soon as he said this, Marquis Xinwu didn't say anything. If it were someone else, he might be displeased, but Xu Qingxiao was different. Xu Qingxiao was now the backbone of the Wei Dynasty.
Her status and power are second only to the empress, and her prestige in the Wei Dynasty is not weaker than that of the empress.
"Your Majesty."
"The Ministry of Rites received news a few days ago. It came from the Tuxie Dynasty. It told me in the Wei Dynasty that there was a person who claimed to be the orphan of the late emperor and was living in the Tuxie Dynasty. Now that the Tuxie Dynasty has verified his true identity, he is indeed the orphan of the late emperor."
"So in recent days, we have sent people to escort him to the capital of Wei Dynasty. Now the prince has set off from Tuxie and rushed to Wei Dynasty."
Marquis Xinwu opened his mouth and said this.
"The news came a few days ago? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he said this, Marquis Xinwu smiled bitterly.
"You didn't know what you were doing in those days. The Ministry of Rites came to see you, but people in the palace told you that you were busy with important things, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"Then it's Buddhist debate. It's hard to say anything at this time for fear of distracting you, so your Majesty sent me over as soon as the debate was over."
Marquis Xinwu said this.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao became a little silent.
A few days ago, I was refining a first-grade divine weapon cannon.
"Will Your Majesty summon me to the palace?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"kindness."
"Every official is waiting for you now."
Marquis Xinwu nodded.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao didn't waste any time and followed Marquis Xinwu directly to the Wei Palace.
About a quarter of an hour.
Xu Qingxiao came to the Wei Palace.
At this moment.
In the main hall, an extremely fierce quarrel had already begun.
"Now that the Dragon Cauldron of Central Continent has been revealed, the Tuxie Dynasty moved the so-called prince out because they didn't want to see my Wei Dynasty flourish, so they deliberately brought a fake prince here to disgust me, the Wei Dynasty."
"I suggest that you don't need to pay attention to this at all and just refuse to leave the country."
This is Chen Zhengru's voice. He doesn't care whether he is a prince or not.
The idea is very simple, just reject him from the country, regardless of whether he is a real prince or not.
As soon as this was said, it immediately aroused some opposition.
"No."
"This matter is not in line with etiquette. Furthermore, the Tuxie Dynasty escorted us here and refused to go out. Doesn't that mean that we are guilty? When word gets out, His Majesty will feel guilty. What should we do?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't have any other thoughts, but based on the reports from spies, this matter has been spread a lot in Central Continent, and there are also some rumors in the Wei Dynasty recently."
"If I, the Wei Dynasty, refuse to see this person, I'm afraid I will be found guilty of some unfounded charges. By then, it won't be the same."
This is Wang Xinzhi's voice.
He is the Minister of Rites, and he is very clear about these things and how big the impact will be, so even if he takes huge risks, he will speak up and support the Wei prince's entry into Beijing.
Regardless of whether he is a real prince or not, please come over and take a look first.
If not, then of course it’s best. If so, then
All in all, refusing is unreasonable. Doesn’t this give others an opportunity to scold you?
"No."
"This must not be done."
"Where has this kind of thing happened since ancient times? Now our country, Wei, is peaceful and peaceful. Your Majesty is in power, and everything is going smoothly. Suddenly a prince appears, and he is from Tuxie. If there is nothing fishy in this, I will never believe it."
Chen Zhengru was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He usually would not take the initiative to say anything, but now he directly held great opposition to this matter.
As for the others, they didn't speak the whole time.
It’s not that they can’t get a word in, it’s that they don’t dare to speak, and they can’t talk nonsense.
The late emperor's orphan has returned. This is really not a good thing for the Wei Dynasty, and it is even an extremely difficult matter.
One is the current emperor, and the other is the emperor who should have become the Wei Dynasty, especially since the current emperor is still a woman.
This is actually already very troublesome.
The other party obviously has the support of Tuxie, not only the support of the Tuxie Dynasty, but also the support of the Chu Yuan Dynasty. As for whether there is support from others, no one can say, but it is impossible to say that there is no support.
possible.
Someone just wanted to target Wei, and this time they used an invincible killing move.
The late emperor's orphan was found.
Yu Qing, if the identity of the other party is true, then he should be the new emperor of Wei Dynasty.
Yu Li, the empress has only been in power for the second year. It is difficult to say that she has deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If Xu Qingxiao had not supported the Wei Dynasty in these years, I am afraid that the empress might have been forced into the palace once this prince came.
Things in the court are extremely complicated.
All civil and military officials must support the empress. How could the country change its master at will?
But now I feel there are too many tricky and embarrassing points.
Will the feudal lords everywhere sit back and watch?
Will the two dynasties stand idly by?
What attitude will those rebel organizations, including those whom Xu Qingxiao offended, have?
So to put it simply, if this prince of Wei dares to come to Wei, he has made all preparations. The power behind him must not be underestimated.
On the surface, there are vassal kings, the Tuxie Dynasty, the Chu Yuan Dynasty, some rebel organizations active in the Wei Dynasty, and some invisible enemies. If we really want to set up some imaginary enemies, the Seven Star Taoist Sect, and Buddhism, these are not
The allies of the Wei Dynasty can be regarded as the forces behind the prince.
In other words, it is possible to become the force behind the prince.
Under such circumstances, the officials in the court, even if they want to support the empress, must think carefully about it.
If you are a prince with no background and power and returns to the Wei Dynasty, then everything is easier to say. Let's be brighter. First, check your identity to confirm that you are the prince, make you a prince, and then let you enjoy your old age in peace.
Be ruthless, investigate your identity, and then be gone.
Well, no more.
But now that a prince with such a strong background has returned, everything is hard to say.
What is the concept if we really succeed in seizing the throne? The concept is that the Wei Dynasty has changed and a new emperor has been replaced.
It's okay for these ministers, after all, most of them are old ministers, and they are not considered to be the empress's people, but some of them still need to be cleaned up. For example, Xu Qingxiao's power is definitely not as great as it is now.
After all, Xu Qingxiao and the Empress are completely tied together.
It can only be said that it is impossible for the late emperor's orphan to touch Xu Qingxiao at the moment, but there is no guarantee whether Xu Qingxiao will be touched in the future.
Therefore, they cannot say anything at this juncture. If the new emperor ascends the throne, every word they say now will become the cause and effect of their exile in the future.
But what surprised all the ministers was that Wang Xinzhi, who was particularly calm, dared to take the initiative to speak on this matter. This was clearly to offend His Majesty.
Naturally, everyone was a little curious and didn't understand what Wang Xinzhi was thinking.
The two quarreled fiercely, each holding their own opinions in the hall, and what they said was reasonable.
On the Dragon Throne.
Ji Ling, on the other hand, seemed very calm, not angry or uncomfortable. Instead, he sat quietly in the dragon chair and looked outside the hall.
Soon, when she saw Xu Qingxiao's figure, she subconsciously looked away.
Then, the empress looked over again, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Xu Aiqing."
She shouted, and for a moment, the hall became quiet. Everyone looked at Xu Qingxiao outside the hall, as if they had found their backbone.
"I'll wait to see you, Your Majesty."
The ministers opened their mouths and bowed slightly to Xu Qingxiao.
Today, Xu Qingxiao's status in the Wei Dynasty is indeed getting higher and higher.
The words "Ping Rebellion King" are no longer a simple war to quell the rebellion, but all the troubles of the Wei Dynasty. It's like a Buddhist debate. It was obvious that you were going to lose, but Xu Qingxiao won the argument forcefully.
Or use Buddhism to win the argument.
For the officials of the Wei Dynasty, Xu Qingxiao has become the backbone, the backbone of everyone, and they naturally respect Xu Qingxiao more and more. In the past, calling him "Prince" was considered a prestige for his position.
Now I call you Wangye, but I really mean it from my heart.
"My lord, Xu Qingxiao, pays homage to His Majesty."
"I've met all the princes."
When Xu Qingxiao entered the palace, he bowed to the princes, then looked at Chen Zhengru and others and bowed slightly.
"Xu Aiqing is polite."
Ji Ling said, she didn't care about the conversation in the court. The disputes between the two sides had their own reasons, but what she was looking forward to more was Xu Qingxiao's arrival.
Now that Xu Qingxiao is here, Ji Ling cheers up.
"My dear, has Marquis Xinwu informed you of the matter?"
Ji Ling opened his mouth and asked Xu Qingxiao, straight to the point.
"Return to Your Majesty, I believe that Marquis Wu has informed you."
"I came here especially for this matter."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
After saying this, Ji Ling continued.
"Then Xu Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
Ji Ling looked at Xu Qingxiao and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron is about to transform into the Central Continent Dragon Cauldron. During this period, no mistakes can be made."
When Xu Qingxiao spoke, he was very direct. The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron transformed into the Central Continent Dragon Cauldron. No matter what happens during this period, it cannot affect it.
Sending an orphan of the late emperor to seize power? Wishful thinking.
As soon as these words were said, most officials couldn't help but nodded. They still agreed with Xu Qingxiao's words.
Chen Zhengru also breathed a sigh of relief.
But Wang Xinzhi shook his head. He did not start a direct argument with Xu Qingxiao like he did with Chen Zhengru.
Instead, he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty."
"The late emperor's orphan has returned. Nowadays, there are a lot of rumors among the people. It cannot be ruled out that some people spread it deliberately."
"But no matter what, the prince must know that the people's hearts are hard to calm down, and rumors have started. If the Wei Dynasty does not accept the return of the prince, I am afraid it will affect our Wei Dynasty Longding."
"And more importantly, our Confucianism and Taoism will also be destroyed. There are differences between elders and younger ones, and men come first before women. This is the core of Confucianism and Taoism, not just in the Wei Dynasty."
"Even if it is Tuxie, Chuyuan, or even the entire world of mortals, if you don't care, you will fall into the conspiracy of these people."
Wang Xinzhi spoke with a gentle tone, trying his best to persuade Xu Qingxiao, hoping that Xu Qingxiao could understand this truth.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty Wang has misunderstood. My intention is not to not accept the return of the late emperor's orphan to the court."
"But to find out the identity."
"Everyone, please allow me to say something disrespectful. If this is the orphan of the late emperor and the real prince of Wei, then everything will be easy."
"But what if he isn't? How can the Tuxie Dynasty be so sure that he is my prince of Wei? Is he the orphan of the late emperor?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke.
Xu Qingxiao also had some information about the late emperor's orphan, who was in Ping'an County. As for who it was, Xu Qingxiao didn't know.
But why did the good-looking orphan escape to the Tuxie Dynasty? There are some problems in this.
Of course Xu Qingxiao believed that the Tuxie Dynasty did not dare to send a fake prince here, but it was impossible not to investigate carefully, otherwise you just said so?
Who are you? The Tuxie Dynasty still wants to interfere in the internal affairs of Wei Dynasty? Do you want to die?
"Then what does the prince mean?"
Wang Xinzhi looked at Xu Qingxiao, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Welcome the prince and investigate his identity. If the investigation is clear, we will make plans. If we find someone pretending to be a fake person, we will kill him without mercy."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and expressed her thoughts.
Whether it's a delaying tactic or a secret attack, in short, it's impossible for him to shake the empress's status.
You must know that the only clue to the best spiritual gold now is in the Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure.
The only way to open the Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure is the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron.
So Xu Qingxiao naturally doesn't want anyone to destroy it, no one can do it.
As soon as he said these words, Chen Zhengru's voice sounded.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty knew what Xu Qingxiao was thinking, but they couldn't speak out, so Chen Zhengru said.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that."
"The other party is obviously prepared. If this person really comes to the capital of Wei Dynasty, I'm afraid he will stir up trouble."
"Strictly check his identity? To be honest, I believe he is the orphan of the late emperor. Otherwise, he would not dare to come to the capital of the Wei Dynasty."
"Once your identity is verified, what should you do?"
Chen Zhengru's idea is very simple. This is a big trouble. The other party is confident if he dares to come. Instead of doing this, it is better to just let him go.
Try every means to isolate him and never allow him to enter the Wei Dynasty. This is absolutely true.
Chen Zhengru's method is very direct and has many problems, but it is the best solution at present, and there is no one.
"Chen Shangshu, how did you say this?"
"If he is really the orphan of the late emperor, do you know what trouble it will cause for me, the Great Wei, if we isolate him?"
"If we reject the royal family, everyone in the world will laugh at me, the Wei Dynasty. If we, the Wei Dynasty, govern the country with Confucianism, the foundation of our country will be destroyed."
"The Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty will definitely interfere with our Wei Dynasty as soon as possible."
"Even the vassal kings from all over the country will insist on this matter. When the time comes, the gods will be angry."
"It's okay if the people insult us, but the people will definitely think that this is His Majesty's intention. As long as it is exaggerated a little, this matter will only become more and more troublesome."
"Originally, we could discuss it slowly. If you refuse the prince to enter the court, you will put me in the water and fire, and your majesty in the water and fire. By then, all the civil and military officials in the court will be sinners for the ages."
Wang Xinzhi pointed at Chen Zhengru and said.
He is the Minister of Rites, and he understands the affairs of the Ministry of Rites better. Once this kind of thing spreads, and someone comes to you in an upright manner, you refuse to meet or even isolate the other person.
Isn't this a disguised admission that the other party is a prince, but when he comes, he will affect His Majesty, so he is not allowed to come in?
Isn't this a case of having enough to do and causing trouble for yourself?
What Wang Xinzhi said is indeed true.
Xu Qingxiao understood what Wang Xinzhi meant. In the final analysis, whether it was a vassal king, a Tuxie dynasty, or even some secret forces, they were nothing.
What really worries Wang Xinzhi, and what worries everyone, is that people's words are scary.
Since ancient times, men have been in charge of the household, and there are divisions between elders and younger ones.
The emperor is a woman, which is unprecedented in itself, and there is no choice.
Ji Ling is a woman, the empress of the Wei Dynasty, something that has never happened before. Furthermore, Ji Ling is not the eldest daughter. Based on the above two points, to be honest, since she has no choice, it is okay to let her inherit the throne.
But when the prince comes back, in fact, for the people, they prefer a man to be the emperor, and the elders and younger ones should be divided.
This is not as simple as a preference, but has been like this since ancient times. This is a concept deeply rooted in Confucianism and Taoism.
It is precisely for this reason that these people can make perfect use of this matter to guide the people.
This is the real trouble.
Otherwise, do you really think that these forces can shake Wei?
After all, it is not a matter for the common people.
Fortunately, the Wei Dynasty came up with Xu Qingxiao and managed the country in an orderly manner, so that no natural or man-made disasters occurred.
The people are gradually getting richer.
Without Xu Qingxiao, things would be really troublesome. Now with Xu Qingxiao, many things can be eased.
"Don't be so verbose."
"If you can't join our Wei Dynasty, you just can't join our Wei Dynasty."
Chen Zhengru spoke, he was determined not to let the other party enter the Wei Dynasty, no matter what, he would not do it.
Without entering the Wei Dynasty, many things can be handled properly. Even if there are some problems, the worst is to use troops to suppress them.
Let the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War deal with it. It is really impossible to let these eunuchs do such a thing.
Anyone who dares to make noise or shout will be investigated strictly.
After all, when extraordinary measures are used in extraordinary times, one must either not do them at all, or do them more ruthlessly.
But Wang Xinzhi took a deep breath and bowed to the empress.
"Your Majesty, you must never agree."
"Since ancient times, blocking is worse than sparing. If we follow what Chen Shangshu said, let alone saying that the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron cannot be cast, just saying that the orphans of the royal family are kept outside the imperial city will lead to unnecessary disputes inside and outside the court. Discord."
"When the time comes, the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty join forces to interfere, support a group of thieves, and disrupt our Wei Dynasty, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
When Wang Xinzhi spoke, he was determined and did not agree with Chen Zhengru's point of view.
It's not that he supports the prince, but that he is disrespectful of etiquette, and the impact it brings is too bad, extremely bad.
If there was only one dynasty in Central Continent, the Wei Dynasty, then everything would be easy to say, but the problem is that the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty are watching with eager eyes.
You really don't take the prince seriously, so you go back and directly give the prince troops, then give the prince power, let him raise troops to kill, and then the domestic vassal kings respond.
With one order, what situation would the Wei Dynasty fall into?
You said everyone is united? But the problem is, who doesn’t want to climb up? Especially these people in the court, no one in the Ministry of War wants to become the new Minister of the Ministry of War?
Is there no one in the Household Department who wants to be the new Secretary of the Household Department?
They are using the banner of justice. I, the orphan of the late emperor, want to return to the Wei Dynasty to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan, but the Wei Dynasty actually refuses to let me go? Then I can only do this.
Kill him back justifiably, the people don't know what to say, after all, both are reasonable.
In cooperation with the feudal lords from various places, internal and external strife breaks out at the same time. How to solve this problem?
You said there was a first-class warrior in the Wei Dynasty? OK, what do you say when a first-class warrior appears? Just kill the orphan of the late emperor? Is this possible? Does that mean that on the other hand, you can also kill the current emperor?
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, especially royal affairs.
I'm afraid it would be difficult for a first-grade warrior to intervene in this matter. It's not that someone wants to rebel. In the final analysis, you can't stand.
The two of them seemed to be a little different from each other when talking to each other.
this moment.
Xu Qingxiao took a deep breath, looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.
"Two adults, please stop arguing."
"I have a plan. I wonder if you two would like to hear it?"
Xu Qingxiao knew that both Chen Zhengru and Wang Xinzhi were actually doing the best for Wei, but they just had different ideas.
He doesn't want any internal conflicts to occur.
"Your Majesty, please speak clearly."
The two still maintained respect for Xu Qingxiao.
"Rejecting the prince from the capital of the Wei Kingdom is indeed unacceptable. If word spreads, it will cause great trouble and unpopularity among the people."
"However, it is not appropriate to keep strictly checking the identity. It is better to do this. After checking the identity, please ask Your Majesty to grant the prince the throne. Nan Shu is very good. Let the prince go to Nan Shu and become the king, which can be regarded as guarding one side."
"If I can serve the Wei Dynasty, I will have nothing to worry about in my life. What do you think?"
Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
It's definitely not possible to refuse.
But it is even more impossible to let him come to the capital of the Wei Dynasty.
So it would be better to just let the other party go to the land of Southern Shu and make him the King of Southern Shu. That would definitely not be a bad idea.
As for whether there is any dissent, that is another matter. At least there is buffering time.
It won't be like now, where head-on confrontation is not good for anyone.
Huairou is always the kingly way.
As soon as these words were said, the officials were a little thoughtful, and Chen Zhengru and Wang Xinzhi couldn't help but fall silent.
After a while, Chen Zhengru nodded.
"What the prince said is indeed true."
He gave an answer and acknowledged this. Although he still introduced this scourge into the Wei Dynasty, he would not make things too rigid anyway.
The title of king is also a hidden danger, but it is not a big problem and can at least be solved gradually.
"Can."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Wang Xinzhi also agreed. He also knew what Chen Zhengru's concerns were. The plan proposed by Xu Qingxiao was indeed feasible, and it was a case of trying to make a fool of yourself.
There will be trouble in the future, but at least it won't be as intense as it is now.
"I agree with Xu Aiqing's words."
"Chen Shangshu, based on what Xu Aiqing said, drafted an imperial edict to find out his identity first. If he is really my father's orphan, he is my brother, and I will let him go to Southern Shu and become king. It is my best intention."
"Okay, if there is nothing else, please retreat."
The empress also agreed with Xu Qingxiao's words.
At that moment, all civil and military officials in the court bowed to the empress.
"Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
After the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty shouted, Ji Ling stood up and left the hall.
At this moment, all the officials also stood up and left, going their separate ways.
Everyone was still a bit silent. It was impossible to remain calm after something like this happened.
I don't even have the intention to chat anymore, I plan to go back and think about the next changes.
Today, what Xu Qingxiao said in the palace was indeed fine, but there was one thing that everyone ignored, that is, would the other party accept it?
If you accept it, everything will be easy to talk about, at least it won't lead to a direct rift.
But what if you don’t accept it?
So what should I do?
Kill each other?
Who dares to kill?
The empress didn't even dare to kill her. To do so would be to kill her brother. This was a treasonous act. Unless someone made a huge mistake, such as rebelling, otherwise, to kill her would be to kill her brother.
Kill Xu Qingxiao?
That would be even more impossible.
So no one has raised this question, but everyone has already thought about it.
"Shouren, if nothing happens, can you come and sit in my staff department?"
After walking out of the hall, Chen Zhengru spoke directly and invited Xu Qingxiao to sit in the staff department.
Before Xu Qingxiao could speak, Wang Xinzhi also came over, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Shouren, I have something to ask you about. Come and sit in my etiquette department."
Wang Xinzhi spoke.
It was obvious that the two of them were completely at loggerheads, and both wanted to win over Xu Qingxiao, hoping that Xu Qingxiao would support them.
Hearing the two people's kindness, Xu Qingxiao was a little bit dumbfounded.
At this moment, a eunuch came and came to Xu Qingxiao.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty invites you to go to the Imperial Garden."
Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Naturally, he didn't want to offend the two ministers. It was a good thing that his majesty invited him over now.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao nodded, then smiled gently at the two ministers. The two of them nodded without saying anything and left.
soon.
Xu Qingxiao followed the eunuch.
All the way to the Imperial Garden.
In the Imperial Garden of the Wei Dynasty, hundreds of flower species were planted, but according to the color matching, not all of them were concentrated together, making them look bright and distinct.
Walk all the way in.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao saw the figure of the empress.
There was no one around her, she was wearing a light red robe, embroidered with a golden dragon, and stood quietly by the lake.
Viewed from the back, the empress's figure can be said to be graceful and graceful. To say she is extremely beautiful is indeed not a compliment.
What's more, the empress's appearance is also the most beautiful in the world. The strands of hair hanging down make people inexplicably intoxicated.
Ji Ling is definitely the most beautiful woman Xu Qingxiao has ever seen.
Even Luo Baiyi was slightly inferior, mainly because of her temperament. After all, Ji Ling was the Empress of Wei.
With this status blessing, how many people in the world can compare with it?
I just don’t know who this kind of woman will fall in love with in the future. The more I think about Xu Qingxiao, the more I can’t express the feeling.
However, Xu Qingxiao didn't think much and bowed deeply to the empress.
"My lord, Xu Qingxiao, I have met Your Majesty."
"Xu Aiqing is exempt from the gift."
At that moment, the empress spoke, but she did not turn around and come back. Instead, she looked at the lake and slowly spoke.
"Xu Aiqing, what do you think of what happened in the court today?"
When the empress spoke, she was still asking Xu Qingxiao about this matter.
After saying this, Xu Qingxiao became a little silent.
He couldn't help but look at the lake, and then sighed longly.
To be honest, Chen Zhengru and Wang Xinzhi have already made it clear in the court where things should be said.
What are the dangers coming in?
What are the dangers of not coming in?
The two people made it very clear, and I believe everyone understands it.
So, Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and said.
"If this person is really the orphan of the late emperor, it will indeed be a bit tricky."
Xu Qingxiao spoke, this was his answer.
The late emperor's orphan, Ji Ling's brother, this identity really made Xu Qingxiao feel troubled.
If it was an outsider, such and such a prince, Xu Qingxiao didn't care, and at worst he would kill him.
But the late emperor's orphan could not do it.
He is a minister of the Wei Dynasty, and he is also a Confucian semi-sage. He can have his own ideas, but he must not go against the nature of heaven and earth.
Men and women, young and old, these two points are Confucianism. Unless you are desperate to overthrow Confucianism.
If this is really overturned, he will definitely cause huge trouble.
In the Wei Dynasty, there would be countless quarrels, with the younger sons fighting for the family property and the older sons fighting for the family property, and the daughters fighting for the family property with their parents. If it was a healthy development, it would be okay, and women would also have their own advantages.
I'm afraid that the disgusting situation will develop, especially for women. If the Tuxie Dynasty casually uses some tricks and plays the gender card, the Wei Dynasty will be in complete trouble.
This kind of crisis cannot be seen or felt, but it is hidden in the dark and can make a dynasty pay a heavy price at any time.
Xu Qingxiao didn't dare to touch this kind of thing, and she would never touch it.
I don't have the ability to overthrow Confucianism.
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
Ji Ling spoke.
So asked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no other choice this time."
"But your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if he is really the orphan of the late emperor, you don't have to worry too much. The throne is already stable."
"I will always support your Majesty. Giving him the throne is already the greatest gift. Your Majesty is in power and the Wei Dynasty is flourishing. There is no fault and there is nothing to worry about."
Xu Qingxiao's tone became more determined.
Indeed not.
What else can be done? After all, he has royal blood flowing in his body. He is still the son of the late emperor and the former prince of the Wei Dynasty.
However, Xu Qingxiao's tone was also very determined.
Never mind this or that.
Now that the throne of the emperor has been determined, there are still so many opinions?
So what if it really comes? Let the empress step down like this? Is this possible?
If there is a crisis in the country, or some disaster occurs, you would force the empress to abdicate. This is understandable, but the country does not have any problems now.
Therefore, there is no such thing as letting the empress abdicate.
But it’s okay to feel nauseous.
"well."
"Forget it, now that it's here, let's make peace with it."
"Xu Aiqing, this time you won the Buddhist debate for the Wei Dynasty. I have nothing to reward you yet."
"I can give you whatever you want."
The empress spoke out, she turned around, and her face appeared.
Indeed, no matter how many times I see Ji Ling, she is still indescribably beautiful and heartwarming.
She is truly a beauty in the world.
As for the empress's words, Xu Qingxiao didn't care. What else did she need?
Do you have the heart for martial arts? Obviously you don’t.
In terms of power, he is also the prince of Wei.
In terms of status, Confucianism and Taoism are enough.
Xu Qingxiao really couldn't think of anything else she wanted.
If you really want to say it, there is only one.
I want the Empress of Wei.
This is Xu Qingxiao's idea. Of course it is just a joking idea, just think about it in your heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't need any reward. If Your Majesty really wants a reward, just give Nanyu Prefecture more tax exemptions. It can also be regarded as a blessing to my hometown."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and said this.
But what he didn't know was that Ji Ling heard Xu Qingxiao's inner thoughts again.
Ji Ling cultivates his mind power, but it is difficult to successfully practice this kind of magical power. He can only vaguely hear the voices of others.
To be precise, it is not called the voice of the heart, but the understanding of the other person's mind.
In most cases, it is impossible to know. There are only two times before and after. This is the second time.
Hear Xu Qingxiao's inner thoughts again.
Ji Ling didn't have the same big reaction as the first time, but was a little surprised and had some indescribable feelings.
A long time passed.
Ji Ling looked at Xu Qingxiao, her beautiful eyes looking a little strange.
"My dear, do you seriously think so?"
Ji Ling opened his mouth and asked Xu Qingxiao.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao was a little confused.
Isn’t it normal to benefit your hometown? I am not short of money or power now.
However, since it was the empress who was asking, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but look at the empress seriously, with an extremely correct expression and attitude.
"Your Majesty, I do think so."
Xu Qingxiao looked at the empress's beautiful eyes and made a decisive decision.
As soon as she said these words, the empress was inexplicably confused. She avoided Xu Qingxiao's gaze and turned around again.
Looking at the ripples on the lake, I felt a little silent and a little unsure of how to answer.
After a long time.
The empress spoke.
"Xu Aiqing, come to the palace often when you have nothing to do."
This was the queen's answer.
She didn't know what to say either.
She had always known that Xu Qingxiao liked her, but at first her first reaction was that it was impossible and she would not accept it.
But later, as Xu Qingxiao stood up again and again and made selfless sacrifices for Wei, she understood that Xu Qingxiao had been paying for herself.
Therefore, my feelings towards Xu Qingxiao also changed again and again.
Until the moment Xu Qingxiao became a saint, the empress did have an indescribable feeling for Xu Qingxiao.
Especially when she learned that Xu Qingxiao had been to Taohua Temple, she felt uncomfortable and unhappy.
Now, at this moment, Xu Qingxiao is still thinking of herself.
The empress was even more confused about herself.
If she were not the emperor of Wei, she would be willing to do so.
But as an emperor, the empress always puts the country first.
However, she didn't want to break Xu Qingxiao's heart.
But there was also a little bit of other thoughts, but she was not aware of them.
Now, Ji Ling mustered up the courage to make a formal attempt to let Xu Qingxiao come to the palace more so that the two of them could communicate more with each other.
However, Xu Qingxiao didn't know what Ji Ling was thinking.
On the contrary, Xu Qingxiao thought that the empress felt pressure and asked her to come to the palace more often, firstly to get close to her, and secondly to win over her.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao slowly spoke.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely come to the palace more often."
Xu Qingxiao gave the answer.
The next moment, the empress nodded and did not dare to turn around. She just looked at the lake quietly.
The two of them were slightly silent.
After a while, the empress opened her mouth and wanted to chat with Xu Qingxiao. Suddenly, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. I still have official duties to attend to."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
Standing here, he didn't know what the empress was going to do. He also had something to do, so he offered to go back first.
"good."
"Xu Aiqing, walk slowly."
Hearing Xu Qingxiao speak like this, Ji Ling also followed suit.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao turned around and left.
After just a few steps, Ji Ling's voice sounded again.
"Xu Aiqing."
Ji Ling spoke up.
At that moment, Xu Qingxiao stopped and looked back.
"It's okay from now on. Don't go to Peach Blossom Temple. After all, Aiqing is also my great prince of Wei."
This is the voice of the empress.
Xu Qingxiao felt a little weird for no reason.
What happened to Peach Blossom Temple?
Isn’t this a shameful place?
Also, what if I can’t see anyone? I don’t have a wife, so I won’t let you do this?
Your Majesty, do you think my control is too broad?
Oh, no, it’s Your Majesty, are you too lenient?
But no matter what, Xu Qingxiao nodded.
The female emperor.
Have to be coaxed.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will try my best not to go there in the future."
Xu Qingxiao answered and left directly after speaking.
Hearing Xu Qingxiao's answer, a smile appeared on Ji Ling's face.
Then continued to look at the lakeside.
He picked up a flower and gently took off a petal while muttering some words.
That's it.
Time passes slowly.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came.
The story of the orphan of the first emperor of the Wei Dynasty gradually began to spread.
There were some sounds originally.
Now that the prince is sure to return, naturally there are a lot more rumors.
And there are many voices who are willing to support the prince's enthronement and inheritance of the throne.
He believed that it was inappropriate for a woman to be the emperor, especially for a young son.
In addition, nothing good happened in the Wei Dynasty in the past two years. Although tax reductions and exemptions were granted, there were also many ups and downs.
Even if there is some real merit, most of it was done by Xu Qingxiao.
It's not the empress's fault either.
Even in Kyoto, the Tenchibun Palace also gave some responses.
He was a great Confucian from the Tiandi Wen Palace. He did not directly tell the prince to come back and succeed him, but instead went out of his way to explain Confucianism.
Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, giving precedence to the younger ones, and so on.
Everyone knows whether there is any insinuation or not.
And at this moment.
In an official way.
This is the only way to pass through the border of the Wei Dynasty.
Ten miles further.
It’s like stepping into the Wei Dynasty.
In officialdom.
An extremely luxurious team appeared.
Nine white horses pull a jade chariot.
There is a man sitting in the jade chariot. Through the gauze curtain, you can see the man's outline.
He is brave and handsome, but there is a domineering look in his eyebrows.
And around the jade chariot, there were hundreds of experts protecting it, and an elite army of 500 people protecting it.
Behind the jade chariot, there was another jade chariot, in which sat a woman with a voluptuous figure and exuding fragrance.
At this moment.
A team came quickly, carrying a message.
"Your Majesty has a decree."
"Verify the identity of the prince, and if it is correct, give the prince the title of Nanman King, guard the place, and enjoy the bliss."
As the will sounded.
The next moment, laughter like silver bells sounded.
"Is this the prince of the Wei Dynasty? He is so majestic. Before he even arrived in Kyoto, the Empress of the Wei Dynasty gave him a royal title."
The sound is pleasant, coming from the jade chariot behind.
But the next moment.
The heroic man in the jade chariot slowly uttered one word.
