Chapter 24 Marriage
"Mr. Chen Ge, please hurry up, why do you want to perform such a grand ceremony?"

Ye Qinghuai wanted to help him up first, but he didn't want Chen Yuansi to be extremely stubborn. He knelt on the ground and said: "If your majesty can't let the old minister's wish come true, please let your majesty see that the old minister has been loyal to the court for many years and is now weak and sick." , the quasi-veteran will return to his hometown."

Again.

Ye Qinghuai was restless.

In the previous life, Chen Yuansi also made a lot of troubles for the emperor's succession. He quoted the scriptures in the court and acted softly and hard. He equated the marriage of the queen with the ability to secure the throne, and finally led the officials to impeach her as the emperor. Let her abdicate.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't bear their offensive, so she reluctantly agreed, and ordered that the girls of the Chen family and the daughter of the Gu family be brought into the harem together, but before they agreed on who would be the queen, the identity of Ye Qinghuai's daughter was revealed. The marriage is over.

Now Chen Yuansi uses the civil servant's remonstrance method to force her to return home, but in the end it is better to change the soup instead of the medicine.

The corner of Ye Qinghuai's mouth twitched into a sad smile.

That's right, given her current situation, she has no military power in her hands, and no close ministers around her. She is called the Nine-Five Supreme, but she is actually a fish on the case.Besides the title of emperor, what else does she have?

The prosperity of the world is all for Lilai.All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.This is especially true in the court, where there is no good intention for no reason.

She wanted to win over Chen Yuansi because she wanted to rely on him to suppress Gu Shihai, and Chen Yuansi spoke for her because she was thinking about the queen beside her.

To be more precise, what he wanted was a prince with the blood of the Chen family.

But this is exactly what Ye Qinghuai can't give anyway.

Ye Qinghuai's expression darkened, she made a decision in her heart, a huge gamble.

Then, she put all her thoughts in order, and smiled kindly at Chen Yuansi: "What are you talking about, Mr. Chen Ge? I was raised by Mr. Chen Ge. If you say that you are close, no one else can compare. A family People don't speak two different languages, so get up quickly."

When Chen Yuansi heard that "one family does not speak the same language", he seemed to think about it, and then slowly stood up with Ye Qinghuai's support.

"The daughter of Chen's family has such talent, if she can't have a good marriage, don't say that Chen Ge is reluctant, I will also sigh with regret." Ye Qinghuai paused, and then said, "To tell you the truth, since I took office personally, the cabinet I have read all the papers that were handed over to ask for a queen, it's not that I don't want to be a queen, it's just that I have no way to do so."

"Elder Chen Ge also knows that after the death of Empress Dowager Jingmin last year, no one in the harem took charge. Since ancient times, the parents have made decisions on major marriages, and the royal family is no exception. But my parents passed away early and did not make a marriage for me. I can only Make decisions by yourself. This is already unfilial. It has been less than two years since the imperial examination passed away, and I am still in the period of filial piety. If I get married during the filial period, it is a big unfilial. The great scene governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. As a model for the people of the world, how can I make a Such a thing?"

What Ye Qinghuai said was sincere, but Chen Yuansi was unmoved on his face. He subconsciously wanted to let go of Ye Qinghuai's hand that was supporting him, but Ye Qinghuai firmly grasped it.

Ye Qinghuai changed the subject and said: "However, it is rare for Mr. Chen Ge to speak to me once. How can I not allow it? What's more, seeing Qianjin Mobao today is very heartwarming."

She took off the jade pendant around her waist, put it in the palm of her hand, looked at it with some reluctance, stuffed it into Chen Yuansi's hand, and said: "This jade pendant was given to me by my queen mother when I ascended the throne. Get away."

When Chen Yuansi heard her talk about the preciousness of the jade pendant, she refused it.However, Ye Qinghuai forced the jade pendant into his hand, and said: "When I saw this painting today, I suddenly felt that I had met a confidant. A confidant is rare in life, Mr. Chen Ge. This jade pendant is the right of me and the Chen family. If Mr. Chen Ge refuses to accept the betrothal things, then he will not allow this marriage."

Chen Yuansi did not expect that Ye Qinghuai would suddenly let go of this marriage, he was surprised, and his rejection was not as strong as before.

"Your Majesty, this jade pendant is known to the veteran, and has been with Queen Mother Jingmin for the rest of his life. It is too precious, and the veteran dare not accept it."

Ye Qinghuai said: "When my mother gave me this jade pendant, she asked me to give it to my queen in the future."

When Chen Yuansi heard this, a huge stone fell from his heart.His half-closed eyes suddenly opened completely, he knelt down, made a big salute, and said: "The old minister thanked His Majesty for his kindness."

"Get up quickly. We will be a family from now on." Ye Qinghuai helped Chen Yuansi up, and said, "It's just that I'm still serving filial piety, and the big wedding has to be postponed after the filial piety period. Even so, engagement is still possible right now Now that the Ministry of Rituals is being reorganized, there is no free time. When Chun Wei is done with work, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to handle the engagement. What do you think of Chen Ge?"

This is indeed a compromise, Chen Yuan thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and thoughtful. However, Lao Chen is worried that the vacancy in the Ministry of Rites will not be able to find a candidate for a while."

"Speaking of this matter, what advice does Mr. Chen Ge have for the candidate for the Ministry of Rites?" Ye Qinghuai followed his words and asked.

"The Ministry of Rites has always been controlled by Gu Shihai. Veteran ministers seldom intervene. He doesn't know the details of the personnel affairs of the Ministry of Rites. If your majesty wants to promote someone from the Ministry of Rites, it is better to ask him than the old minister. But if your majesty wants to promote someone from the Ministry of Rites To transfer someone to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, there are quite a few candidates for this veteran."

The topic of the big wedding ended just like that. Chen Yuansi and Ye Qinghuai chatted about the issue of the Ministry of Rites and various affairs in the court and the sun set.

It has to be said that as soon as the marriage was settled, Chen Yuansi's attitude towards Ye Qinghuai changed a lot. It was true that the family stopped talking about each other.

Chen Yuansi has been in the cabinet for nearly ten years. He has been in charge of the household department and the official department all the year round.Listening to his words, Ye Qinghuai benefited a lot.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Qinghuai got up and was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, maybe she could ask Chen Yuansi for advice.

"Old Chen Ge, there is still one thing I don't understand."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Ordinarily, Shi Taiping was recommended by Gu Shihai. Why didn't Gu Shihai protect him this time?"

Chen Yuansi pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Gu Shihai scolded Shi Taiping in court?"

Ye Qinghuai nodded.Gu Shihai was furious at that time, even Ye Qinghuai felt a little surprised.

"According to the old minister, Shi Taiping Chunwei sold the titles, probably secretly doing it behind Gu Shihai's back, that's why there was the scene of going up."

Ye Qinghuai was awakened by Chen Yuansi's words.

No wonder Gu Shihai turned against him in court and didn't protect him at all afterwards.I'm afraid that in Gu Shihai's eyes, Shi Taiping is already an unusable person with stiff wings.

"The rift between the two of them is only this time?" Ye Qinghuai asked again.

"I don't know how they get along with the old minister. But Shi Taiping was a famous scholar in Xingrui's dynasty, and he also served as the secretary of a literary school. Selling officials and nobles was definitely not his original intention." Chen Yuansi sighed lightly, and muttered, " But the old minister once heard that he had a son who was fond of gambling and owed a lot of debts in the black street."

Ye Qinghuai understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and said, "So that's how it is."

But no matter what he did, Gu Shihai would never let him stay.

Of course, Ye Qinghuai couldn't tolerate him either.

Suffering is no excuse for depravity.
