Chapter 199 If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight
"Then invite him in."
As soon as Jiang Bo finished speaking, he saw Mr. Su coming in tremblingly, holding a cane.
"Old minister, please see Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Jiang Bo quickly stepped forward to help him.
"Quick, give me a seat."
Chang Fu on the side also had quick eyesight and quick hands. Upon seeing this, he quickly moved a stool and placed it behind Mr. Su.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
After Mr. Su sat down, he looked around and saw the mess all over the ground.
"Why is Your Majesty so angry? Is it because of the establishment of a queen?"
Forehead……
Jiang Bo looked a little embarrassed.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard the old master say: "I am here today just for the Queen's sake."
When Jiang Bo heard this, he was shocked.
"Could it be that you too, Taifu..."
"Then others don't know who Miss Xiao is. Could it be that the old minister doesn't know yet?" Taifu shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, you know that I am a pedantic and conservative person. Let me not mention other things. In the past two years, my granddaughter-in-law was clamoring to go to the battlefield with you. No matter how others stopped me, I could just say 'no'
Character?
From this, Your Majesty can also know that the old minister is not here to dissuade Your Majesty today.
What's more, after all, the Mu family and our Su family are now in-laws. If a queen can be born, it will be of great benefit to the Su family without any harm."
"Then Taifu, what do you mean..."
This makes Jiang Bo a little confused.
Mrs. Su is almost 80 years old. She can't go to the palace with such trouble just to tell him that she must fight against all opinions and stick to the end, right?
Seeing Old Taifu Su again, he said: "I just want to ask your Majesty, what is your Majesty's plan to do with Feng Guochun's incident today?"
One sentence made Jiang Bo stunned.
If there was a way to solve it, he wouldn't be so angry.
But I heard Taifu Su say: "Kill him? This is the simplest and most effective way."
"But Feng Guochun is not afraid of death. He even wants you to do this. Ha, I have been a civil servant for decades. Don't you know what these descendants are thinking?
Nowadays, in the peaceful and prosperous times, he couldn't find a way to show his merits. He finally disturbed the three points of justice and stood on the opposite side of the king. He became a warrior who dared to be the first in the world. He wished that the trouble would become more and more tragic.
Moreover, even if Your Majesty has complied with his wishes, has Your Majesty ever thought about what kind of situation you would put Miss Mu in when she enters the palace in the future?
A woman who lets the emperor force a civil servant to death before she even enters the palace is destined to become the target of public criticism.
Hasn't Your Majesty seen the fate of a target of public criticism?
Do you want Miss Mu to go through this a second time?"
Jiang Bo didn't care what Taifu Su said before.
If Feng Guochun wants to be a hero, let him be one. He doesn't even mind and gives him a Ling Chi and Corpse Whipping Set.
But what he said next really touched him.
Taifu Su asked him: "I know what your Majesty is thinking. She is the girl you love, so you wish you could give her the best. But your Majesty feels that what you think is best is true for her."
Okay?"
Jiang Bo sat behind the long desk, and his initial enthusiasm gradually cooled down.
After that, there was a long silence.
The entire Qianming Palace was quiet for a long time before Jiang Bo's desolate voice was heard: "What do you think I should do, Grand Master Yi?"
"Your Majesty, please postpone the matter of establishing a queen."
After talking for a long time and going round and round, I finally came to dissuade him.
But Jiang Bo was convinced by these words.
Taifu Su is truly a civil servant who has been a civil servant for decades. This advice can be used to defeat the enemy with one move.
"Old minister, I know that Your Majesty cherishes that girl. No matter what you do, you feel that you have wronged her. But let her attract too much attention early and let everyone look at her with enlarged eyes. Isn't this a kind of injustice?
Your Majesty and the old ministers all know that protection means placing her carefully and storing her properly to prevent her from being exposed prematurely.
Your Majesty, please let Miss Cao enter the palace.
Firstly, you can get the support of Song Guogong, and secondly, you can share the attention of Miss Mu.
Only if Your Majesty makes it impossible for the courtiers to find fault, will the girl you like be allowed to exist."
"Ah."
Taifu Su said a lot, but suddenly, he heard Jiang Bo's sneer.
"I really don't know what to do." He said.
"Since I decided to rush into the imperial city to rescue her two years ago, everything seems to be out of my control.
From now on, it is wrong for me to be the emperor, and it is wrong not to be the emperor. It is wrong for me to establish a queen, and it is wrong not to establish a queen. It is wrong for me to accept a concubine, and it is also wrong not to accept a concubine...
I really don’t know what to do.”
He had never been like this before.
He gallops on the battlefield and does whatever he wants. He can be himself as he pleases. Even if he has to risk his life, what is there to fear about life and death?
How did that happen?
Will you look around like this and be in a dilemma?
He felt...he was so tired, more tired than ever before.
Taifu Su said: "Your Majesty, life is like this. There are gains and losses. If you want to wear a crown, you have to bear its weight. I believe that if Miss Mu knew about it, she would also understand His Majesty.
What's more, suspending the establishment of a queen does not mean not refusing to establish one.
If one day, Miss Mu gives birth to a prince, and His Majesty provides more support to her mother's family, everything will fall into place.
It’s better than going your own way like this, isn’t it?”
When Taifu Su said this, he suddenly coughed twice.
After saying this, he felt that it was almost done, so he stood up.
"Ahem..."
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I should go home and drink... ahem... take some medicine... I'll take my leave now."
The bones in my body are getting worse day by day. I don’t know how long I will have to recuperate when I go home this time.
**
Soon after Taifu Su returned, an imperial edict was passed down.
The girl from the Cao family was named Concubine Cao and entered the palace on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The girl from the Xiao family was concubine Yi and entered the palace on the same day.
In addition, in the past few years, the harem has been cold and the concubine position has been vacant. Let the Ministry of Rites select women to enter the palace. The important thing is that they must have outstanding virtues and be generous. There is no limit to the number. The most important thing is character. The best is to be modest and dull. Avoid
Those who are jealous and quarrelsome.
After this imperial edict was promulgated, the county head of the Cao family went crazy with joy.
After waiting for several years, I finally entered the palace.
Although she has become an old girl and entered the palace with many other girls, it is finally her turn, isn't it?
She was so happy that she wished she could sleep with the imperial edict in her arms.
The other ministers were naturally happy too.
This old iron tree has finally bloomed.
The ministers who were originally very dissatisfied with the Emperor's extra kindness to the Xiao family and allowing Miss Xiao to enter the palace suddenly had no objections at all.
People are like this, if you ask them to open a window, they will find it difficult to accept.
But if you say you lift the roof, they will think that opening the windows is not a big deal.
Thinking about it now, it would be no big deal for Miss Xiao to just enter the palace as a concubine. There are so many women in the harem, and once His Majesty's freshness wears off, nothing will happen to her.
The most important thing now is the issue of national heir. Once it is solved, nothing will happen.
