I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 65

People's sorrows and joys are not the same.

On the dragon chair at the side, the little emperor, who was still a little angry at getting up in his heart, felt a lot more refreshed when he saw his aunt being embarrassed, and even most of the resentment towards Li Yuntang dissipated.

After all, it was he who first discovered the contradiction between the empress dowager and the courtiers; it was also thanks to him that he informed the emperor of the matter before the Pingzhang Pavilion discussion; the little emperor took advantage of the opportunity to bury this nail.

Now Li Yuntang's attempt to sow dissension has begun to bear fruit, and the two sides began to fight in court.

Li Yuntang, who took the memorial and returned to the emperor, passed the back of the golden dragon chair where the emperor was sitting, and secretly glanced back at the Empress Dowager Yi'an under the cover of the dragon chair.

I saw her extremely beautiful face with red lips, shaved eyebrows, and a little makeup was covered with frost, and her extremely neat silver teeth were clenched tightly.

This three-point resentment, but short-term and helpless, can only stare at other people's expressions with murderous eyes, which makes Li Yuntang look thoughtful.

The Empress Dowager Yi'an didn't know that she was being stared at, and made some arrangements in her mind. She took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then opened her mouth in a relaxed tone:

"Everything you said is reasonable, but there are two things that are not well thought out:

One is that the more than [-] Han soldiers and the hundreds of thousands of peasants all made more or less contributions to this battle;
If you recall Zhendinghou first and give rewards separately instead of rewarding the soldiers at the same time, it will inevitably make people feel bad. You should understand the principle of "don't worry about scarcity but worry about unevenness".

The second is that the mountains and rivers of Dongyu country are far away, the specific situation is not clear to the court;
There is a saying that "the general will be outside, and the emperor's order will not be accepted." If the top of the temple rashly orders regardless of the truth, it will make a mistake like Song Taizong's "Pingrong Wanquan Formation", and it is easy to leave hidden dangers. "

After saying the two points, the Empress Dowager Yi'an raised a slender little finger, slightly opened the curtain, and glanced down through the crack.

He found that there was neither any expression of mutual exchange of looks, nor any discussion of whispering among the officials; he knew that no dissatisfaction had been aroused, so he continued to suggest:
"How about this, the imperial court sent an envoy to the south to the Zhending waiting army; after a careful investigation, after finding out the situation, it will be reported to the lower heaven; by then the news of Dongyu will be clear, and it will be more convenient to go to the temple to make calculations. appropriate."

The Queen Mother, who couldn't think of any good method in a short time, could only use the dragging formula temporarily.

The distance between the capital and Ava City, where Gao Xiaogong's army is located, is about eight thousand miles; and the road is rugged and difficult to navigate; even if the whole journey is fast, the round-trip time will be close to two months.

After this trip, the queen mother has a lot of buffer time, and can take the opportunity to think about countermeasures.

But the courtiers who have already made up their minds will naturally not be dismissed with a few words; Shangguan Meng glanced at Qian Shilin who was frozen in place, cursed secretly, "mud can't support the wall", and went out to play:

"Report to Your Majesty and Queen Mother, these two matters are not difficult to resolve.

Counting from the day when Ava City was breached, two months had passed, and the rewards sent by the land of Yundian had already been distributed in advance, and the morale of the army was naturally stable.

On the contrary, the Marquis of Zhending devoted all his energy and thought that he was not rewarded; now he can take advantage of the offering of captives at the Meridian Gate to recall them for a reward.

As for the situation where the mountains are high and the water is far away, it is not difficult to solve;
When the captives returned, only Zhendinghou and his personal guards were recalled, and the rest were stationed at the same place; several lieutenants who assisted Zhendinghou in using troops were all veterans in the battlefield, and they were also proficient in the situation of the Southwest Yi to appease the newly acquired land , of course. "

After rejecting the two reasons, Shangguan Meng glanced at the helpless Qian Shilin with a pair of cloudy eyes, motioned him to learn a little bit, and continued to question:
"I don't know what your Majesty and the Queen Mother think."

This said that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager were mentioned, but anyone could understand that the purpose of this remark was to make the little emperor stand out, and the title of Empress Dowager was just a polite incidental.

The little emperor who wanted to watch from the sidelines and watch the two sides fight to the death, after receiving the kicked ball, there was a hint of eagerness on his face.

After all, she was made things difficult by the queen mother many times before, and now the feng shui is taking turns, and it's the little emperor's turn to grow up and fight against the generals, so she took the quarrel without thinking:
"Shangguange's words are true!"

After finishing speaking, the little emperor turned his body slightly, suppressed the joy in his heart, and whispered in the direction of his aunt:
"Queen, it just so happens that I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. If he comes back soon, I will be less concerned about him."

The little emperor didn't have any feelings for this nominal uncle, who had met no more than a handful of times in total; his hypocritical longing was just to annoy his aunt and vent his anger.

After all, such opportunities are not many.

The Empress Dowager Yi'an felt more and more that the goodwill she released by turning a blind eye to Li Yuntang who lied to her before was all a wink to a blind man; to mock.

But this arrogant queen mother was helpless for a while.

Because of this matter, after the little emperor opened his mouth, it has become the common will of the emperor and the courtiers. The two sides joined forces on this matter, which has both righteousness and execution ability.

Even if the Empress Dowager does not stamp the "Kun'an" golden seal, as long as there is an executor and the administrative procedures are in operation, as long as the Marquis Zhending does not want to rebel, he must obediently obey his orders; and at the leadership level, with the endorsement of the little emperor, this decree is natural. orthodoxy.

As long as the Empress Dowager doesn't have the courage to risk her life and face each other in battle, she will have to suffer from this dumbness!
In the court struggle, when there is no absolute advantage, the game is to use strength to fight; since Li Yuntang planted the nail of Zhending Hou's return to the country, the little emperor finally won a small staged victory.

At the same time, this staged victory also to a certain extent weakened the possibility of the queen mother turning the tables.

Empress Yi'an closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed:
"Since the emperor agreed, the Ai family naturally has no objection..."

It just so happened that the queen mother's helpless surrender fell into Li Yuntang's eyes. He recalled the queen mother scratching himself and wanting to ask about the itinerary, and a trace of evil fire suddenly arose in his heart:
After the little emperor formally took power, he would also use his power to let this aloof and mighty empress dowager perform a show in front of him—from gnashing his teeth in disgust to helplessly submitting.

Revenge like this is fun!
After that, the contents of the early court were all trivial and trivial matters, the little emperor and Li Yuntang listened absent-mindedly, waiting for the last topic of their attention.

But until the end of the court meeting, these two officials did not wait for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to give a presentation and bring up the matter of the foreign envoy's audience!

Li Yuntang felt like he had miscalculated?
　Thank you for the reward and make it up tomorrow. If you want to drink the little emperor's bath water, come back tomorrow!
