"I want to personally conquer Beiling." Uncle Nine Emperors looked calm, not knowing at all how lethal his words were.
Bang... The chopsticks on the table fell to the ground, but Feng Qingchen had no intention of paying attention. He just looked at Uncle Nine Emperors blankly: "When?"
It was too sudden. Not to mention her, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were probably not mentally prepared. Although the war between Beiling and Dongling was stalemate, it was not serious enough to require Uncle Nine Emperors to personally conquer it.
There are many fierce generals in Dongling. Feng Qingchen can imagine how puzzled the civil and military officials in the court would be if the regent was not needed to personally conquer them.
"In less than five days." If there weren't some matters to be arranged, Uncle Nine Emperors might have taken the people away tomorrow.
When Feng Qingchen heard this, his expression became more solemn: "So urgent? What happened in Beiling?"
"It's okay." Uncle Nine Emperor's face was still indifferent, leaving Feng Qingchen confused: "It's okay, why are you going to Beiling in person? The Grand Empress Dowager's canonization ceremony will be held in half a month, and you won't participate?"
This is not giving face to my mother.
"I am not the emperor, so the Grand Emperor's canonization ceremony has nothing to do with me." Uncle Nine Emperors said calmly, without any intention of being angry.
"But she is your mother." If you don't come forward, you will be scolded to death by those civil servants.
Uncle Nine Emperors shook his head and said with a hint of self-mockery: "She is the Empress Dowager, the little emperor's grandmother. If she is just my own mother, then she can only be an old concubine."
"These two things are not contradictory." Uncle Nine Emperors was using strong words to find reasons for not coming forward.
However, it is not wrong to think so. If Mrs. Min had not faked her death and the late emperor had not had the idea of making the Nine Emperors Uncle the crown prince, he would never have made Mrs. Min the queen, causing trouble to the new emperor.
"This is really a mess." Feng Qingchen stopped trying to persuade him. Uncle Nine Emperors did not attend Mrs. Min's canonization ceremony. Although some people would say that Uncle Nine Emperors was unfilial, Uncle Nine Emperors took state affairs as his priority and did not do so.
Said he was wrong.
Of course, another point is that by not participating in the canonization ceremony, the Nine Emperors Uncle is telling everyone in disguise that the Nine Emperors Uncle will not be Mrs. Min's reliance in seizing power. At least in the harem, Empress Dowager Xie is still respected, and those who want to step on her and fawn over her
Mrs. Min's people don't dare to be presumptuous.
Women's rights come from men. Uncle Nine Emperors did not support the Empress Dowager or obey her advice. The Empress Dowager was just an ordinary old woman in the palace. She had no other privileges except being more noble than ordinary women.
"I'm very satisfied with this meal." As he stood up, Feng Qingchen said to Uncle Nine Emperors beside him.
It's not bad news that the Nine Emperors Uncle is going on an expedition.
The two of them walked out of Zhufeng Tower together. If it was possible that they were dazzled before, now they are 100% sure that Uncle Nine Emperors was supporting Feng Qingchen.
In the palace, Queen Mother Xie received the news. Gao Xuan's heart finally calmed down. She finally didn't have to worry. A Buddha bigger than her came to the palace, weighing her down.
The person who least wants Mrs. Min to be conferred is not the Nine Emperors Uncle nor Feng Qingchen, but the Queen Mother Xie. Regardless of the previous dynasty, in this three-acre harem, everyone must live by the face of the Queen Mother Xie. Suddenly there are more
A great empress dowager, who is also the regent's biological mother, is really going to enter the palace. There will be no place for the empress dowager Xie in the future.
Many people in the palace were already thinking about how to hug the new master's lap. The appearance of the Nine Emperors Uncle calmed down those who were watching.
Now it is certain that Uncle Nine Emperors will not seek power for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager Xie was extremely happy. That night, she sent dozens of delicacies from the palace to the Feng Mansion. In order to avoid the dishes getting cold, the imperial chef prepared one and thanked the Empress Dowager
Let people rush over and send them there quickly.
As a result, as soon as the first dish arrived at Feng Mansion and the last dish came out of the pot, the people at the foot of the imperial city saw those young generals wearing bodyguards carrying vegetable boxes and galloping all the way.
Picture...
The news that Feng Qingchen had fallen out of favor was broken without attacking.
"Mrs. Xie is indeed smart." Wang Jinling praised.
He came to Uncle Jiuhuang because of the incident at Zhufeng Tower at noon. Uncle Jiuhuang and Feng Qingchen went to Zhufeng Tower and only had one meal. Nothing happened. Not only the officials outside,
Even Wang Jinling felt that there must be something fishy about this matter, so in the afternoon, he went to the house to inquire about the news personally, and met the legendary Mrs. Min by the way.
It was no coincidence that Wang Jinling was a minister of the imperial court. When Mrs. Min appeared, he was taking a bath. Although they met from a distance later, they had never interacted with each other. This visit was the first time the two of them had crossed paths.
"The Queen Mother is indeed outstanding." This was Wang Jinling's evaluation of Mrs. Min. Every word was a compliment, but both Uncle Nine Emperors and Wang Jinling knew that this was by no means a compliment but a precaution.
Even if they can't detect anything wrong with Mrs. Min, with the keenness of Wang Jinling and Uncle Nine Emperors, they can understand that Mrs. Min is not as beautiful as she appears.
As a human son, even if Uncle Jiu Huang doesn't have deep feelings for Mrs. Min, he will not comment on the quality of his mother with others. He just needs to understand some things in his heart.
"The king is going to conquer Beiling in person, please make arrangements for the trip." Uncle Nine Emperors broke the news to Wang Jinling when he was unprepared.
Although Wang Jinling did not lose his composure, he was startled and asked in surprise: "What happened to Beiling that you have to fight in person?"
If his intelligence is correct, Dongling is not in danger yet. When the regent needs to personally conquer the battlefield, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. This move by the Nine Emperors Uncle is too dangerous.
Wang Jinling persuaded with disapproval: "You are not the Nine Emperors Uncle without real power now. You are the regent of Dongling. Every move you make affects the people of the world. I don't agree with you going to the battlefield."
Wang Jinling really wanted to unite with the ministers, depose the little emperor, and make the Nine Emperors Uncle the emperor.
He wanted to see if he could still be so cool and unrestrained when he became the emperor. He could leave whenever he wanted. No matter what was dangerous, he would rush forward without any regard for the fragile hearts of ordinary courtiers like them...
"The war in Beiling has dragged on for too long." Uncle Nine Emperors naturally understood Wang Jinling's concerns, but he had a reason to go this time.
This morning, he received news from Liancheng that Lan Jingyang was very bad. If his guess was correct, Liancheng would definitely back down for the sake of Lan Jingyang's life, and then he would definitely take Lan Jingyang with him.
Yang, go and seek treatment from the Master of the Mysterious Medicine Valley. Even if he doesn’t agree to it, he and Liancheng can be completely divorced if they just break up...
Wang Jinling, even if Wang Jinling knew about these things, would not agree. Wang Jinling once again raised objections: "The battle in Beiling will be over soon. If you are dissatisfied, you can issue an order to reprimand the soldiers on the front line, or you can replace them.
Uncle Nine Emperors, you are now the regent of Dongling. What you have to do is to handle the government affairs and control the overall situation, not to lead troops to fight. These generals will do it. Don't even think about conquering Beiling yourself. I'm satisfied.
No one in the civil and military affairs of the court will agree. Be careful of those die-hard old ministers who will hit the pillars one by one to remonstrate to the death."
The Nine Emperors Uncle has always pushed his limits, and Wang Jinling has made up his mind not to give in at all this time. If he backs off this time, maybe next time, the Nine Emperors Uncle will not go on a personal expedition, but will go to the Huangquan Road of the former imperial tomb.
