The empress sighed and said: "An Qi, the nobility is deeply rooted in Beiyi. When the interests of the nobility are involved, they will stick together. This is why your supporters don't speak for you, so we, mother and daughter, want to weaken
The power of the nobles is as difficult as ascending to the sky. If they directly fall out and say that the letter is forged, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If they do not kill them, it will make them more courageous. If they kill them, they will completely fall out with the nobles. Then the nobles will
The rebellion was a matter of course, and the Queen Mother didn't want to see the Northern Yi rebelling and killing each other, so she didn't expose it."
Princess Anqi could understand the empress, so she asked: "Does the empress really want to follow the nobles' wishes and kill Xiao Zhan?"
The empress shook her head: "I don't want to kill him, let alone ruin Mu Ruxue's achievements."
"Do you know? The reason why I lived in the palace in the past and didn't like to go out was because I didn't want to see the country I ruled, where beggars were everywhere. Wherever I went, I would encounter bones frozen to death in the ice and snow."
"But recently, I have to go out for three days and two days because there are no beggars on the street. Common people are wearing clothes from Mu Ruxue Garment Factory. They are all clean and energetic. They are walking on the streets of Beijing.
It’s a lively and prosperous scene. Common people can afford to go out to restaurants, and common people’s children can also afford to buy candied haws. Seeing this prosperous scene, I feel very relieved. I hope that every city in Beiyi can be like this, lively.
Prosperity, not mourning everywhere.”
"I don't want to kill Xiao Zhan's family and ruin this hard-won earth-shaking change."
"But if you don't kill me, the nobles will rebel against me. So now I'm in a dilemma. I don't know what to do, so I came to your East Palace and asked you to have a heart-to-heart talk. By the way, I asked you to ask Xiao Zhan and Mu Ruxue to come over. I want to
Discuss with them and the couple on how to prevent the nobles from killing them and keep this result. You can ask people to invite the couple over now."
After hearing this, Princess Anqi immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "To be honest with the Queen Mother, Xiao Zhan and his wife have come to the East Palace a long time ago, and they even showed the letter written by Ping Xihou to Xiao Zhan to my son!"
After speaking, she took out the letter and handed it to the empress.
Then he shouted: "Xiao Zhan, Ruxue, you two, come down!"
After the empress read the contents of the letter, Xiao Zhan and Mu Ruxue also came downstairs and knelt down to worship the empress.
"Common people see Her Majesty the Empress, long live long live long live long live!"
"Plain body."
"Thank you, Empress!"
The couple stood up, and the empress asked: "Ping Xihou asked you two to go back, what are your plans?"
Mu Ruxue said truthfully: "Back to the empress, our husband and wife's plan is to hand over the property to Princess An Qi to take care of it. Let's go back to Xiliang. After all, Xiliang has two concubines, Xiao Zhan. Who should be the emperor?"
Clearly, if we don’t go back, we are afraid that King Yu will be harmful to Xiliang, and the lives of Xiao Zhan’s concubines may be in danger. Xiao Zhan has always been affectionate and does not want his concubines to be killed, so he wants to go back to resolve the issue with King Yu.
After the hatred is over, our family will return to Beiyi and help the people in Beiyi live a good life. After all, the people in Beiyi sacrificed their lives to save our family. We will not ignore them, and we also ask the Empress to approve us first.
Go back to Xiliang!"
The empress looked confused: "I would like to allow you to return home, but the nobles will not let you go back alive. What's more, if you go back and hand over your property to An Qi, she will not be able to keep it. The nobles will use the property controlled by An Qi to harm them.
On the grounds of their own interests, they requested that the property be divided among the nobility."
"Because of the rules set by our ancestors, the Nalan family only enjoys imperial power, and all expenses are allocated from the national treasury. A certain amount is given to the Nalan family every year, and the Nalan family cannot compete with the nobles for wealth and other interests, so
Your property can only be controlled by yourself. Angel can help you keep your property, but if you hand it over to anyone, you cannot keep it. Therefore, you cannot leave. If you leave, your hard work will be in vain.
The billions of employees will not be able to enjoy the benefits you provide. The aristocrats will deprive them of their benefits. At most, they will be allowed to eat two meals a day without even thinking about their salary. By then, the business will be taken over by the aristocrats, and the hundreds of millions who run the business will
Civilians will also lose their jobs, and employees' families will return to the same situation as before without food. All your efforts will become the wedding dress of the nobles."
