The enchanting queen of the three realms

Chapter 16

These few days the emperor has been worrying about the affairs of the frontier, Qingzhu didn't want to get involved, but seeing the emperor's sullen look, he felt very uncomfortable.

"What is the emperor worried about?" Qingzhu walked to the emperor and asked.

The emperor hugged Qingzhu into his arms and said, "It's just some political matters."

Qingzhu looked at the emperor and asked, "Can the emperor trust Qingzhu?"

The emperor said to Qingzhu, "In this world, I don't believe that Qingzhu believes in whom?"

Qingzhu smiled, so happily, she decided that she would help the emperor solve the frontier problem, "then ask the emperor to talk about the troubles in his heart."

The emperor looked at Qingzhu. He knew that Qingzhu was a smart woman. She wanted to help him. He felt very relieved. Qingzhu's behavior showed that Qingzhu still had her own in her heart. The military power held by the prime minister was a serious threat to him. In addition, people in the court only fear and obey him, and no one dares to tell the truth to him, which makes him need a trustworthy and reliable person even more, and this best candidate is Qingzhu. I told Qingzhu everything.

Qingzhu sat on the chair and quietly thought about how to deal with it, while the emperor peeled her favorite orange for Qingzhu.After peeling it, he handed it to Qingzhu, who took the emperor's orange and said, "If we want to solve the frontier issue, we should first solve the prime minister's issue."

The emperor asked, "The prime minister is the elder of the court. If the prime minister is easily abolished, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in the court. Coupled with the degree of trust of the ministers in him, it will still be more or less a threat to me."

Qingzhu said to the emperor, "Compared with the eight sage kings and the prime minister, which one is more popular?"

The emperor said, "The eight virtuous kings are sincere and unpretentious, and always treat people and things fairly. He is not as old and cunning as the prime minister, and the city is extremely deep. He treats people sincerely and gathers more affinity. He has the weight of the eight sage kings in the court." It is also very important, if the two are compared with each other, it is really hard to tell the difference."

Qingzhu soon had an idea in his mind and said, "Since one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, how about we have a snipe and a clam fight for the fisherman's benefit?"

The emperor dotingly placed a kiss on Qingzhu's face and said, "My concubine is really a treasure of mine. Since my concubine has already thought of a plan, I would like to hear the details."

Qingzhu said, "The affairs of the frontier fortress will be handled by the eight sage kings and the prime minister. Whoever can persuade the frontier fortress will have the military power. There is no reason for someone to object, are you right, Your Majesty?"

The emperor chuckled, "It makes sense."

Qingzhu continued, "Our goal is to convince the frontiers first. No matter who persuades the frontiers, we are the winners. We can also give the prime minister a blow. Don't think that being trusted by the emperor means you have nothing to worry about, and let him think that the Eight Sage Kings He is his greatest opponent, and only by getting rid of the Eight Wise Kings himself can we sit more securely, and the prime minister's ambitions will soon be exposed, so let's convict him again and abolish the prime minister, killing two birds with one stone."

The emperor laughed loudly, "Haha. What a kill two birds with one stone."

Early in the morning, the emperor said to the ministers, "The frontier fortress has always been my heartache, and now the frontier fortress is using the fact that the white concubine was thrown into the cold palace as an excuse to take over our country's territory. I have been troubled by this matter. What's the trick?"

A minister said, "The minister believes that Concubine Bai should be appointed as the empress. Only in this way can the anger of the frontier fortress be calmed down and live in peace."

The emperor asked, "If the frontier fortress asks again that only the imperial concubine sits on my dragon chair and will not pay attention to our country, should I give up the dragon chair?"

The minister immediately knelt down and said, "You should die."

The emperor ignored him, and then said, "Since everyone has not paid more attention, I will talk about my own thoughts. I decided to let the Eight Sage Kings handle this matter with the prime minister. Whoever can persuade the frontier fortress, I will reward him with military power." , do you have any objections?"

The Baxian King said, "I don't know anything about frontier fortresses, so it must be difficult for me to shoulder the heavy responsibility."

The emperor asked, "Eight Wise King, you have been ignoring the government affairs just to seek leisure. I understand you, but now the frontier fortress has threatened the territorial issue of the country. There is a saying that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Do you still want to refuse?" ?"

The Baxian King said, "I am willing to work with the prime minister to resolve the frontier issue."

Seeing that the Eight Sage Kings had agreed, the emperor stood up and left the hall. Eunuch Su shouted, "Retire."

After retiring from the court, the Eighth Wise King was stopped by the prime minister as soon as he walked out of the hall. The prime minister said to the Eighth Wise King, "Does the Eighth King have any countermeasures to deal with the frontier fortress?"

The Baxian King had always had a bad impression of the prime minister, thinking that the old fox would have no way to get his words out of his mouth, and said, "Of course there are."

The prime minister hurriedly asked, "What countermeasures are there?"

The Baxian King said contemptuously, "The emperor said that we should handle the frontier affairs together, but he didn't say that we should discuss it together? Could it be that the prime minister is worried that the military power will not be guaranteed?"

The prime minister pretended to be calm and said, "Just kidding, why would I worry about this? There is a saying that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If it is really the Eighth Prince who persuades the frontier fortress this time, the old minister is willing to give up the military power. "

The Baxian King smiled and said, "I hope that the Prime Minister will keep his word and don't cry to this king when the time comes, haha, this king will take a step first."

The prime minister looked at the back of the eight sage kings leaving, and he couldn't get angry. Good eight sage kings, don't think you are a prince. I am afraid of you. No one can do it except me to persuade the frontiers. See if you don't see me The coffin doesn't shed tears, we'll just have to wait and see.

Qing Zhu sat by the lotus pond, soaking her feet in the water, seeing the fish swimming freely, she couldn't help feeling a little envious, when can she leave the palace and be as free as a fish?
"See Empress Qing."

Qing Zhu looked up and saw that it was the Eight Sage Kings, and said, "You are here."

The Baxian King looked at Qingzhu, and couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart. The woman he loves the most is married to his own brother. Such a combination makes him feel so embarrassing, "You haven't changed at all."

Qingzhu smiled and said to the Eight Sage Kings, "I see you have changed, there is a little more sadness in your eyes."

The Eighth Sage King sat on the stone bench and said expressionlessly, "Really?"

Qingzhu splashed her feet on the water, and there were ripples in the water, Qingzhu said, "It's just that you didn't notice it yourself, this time I came to you to ask for something important."

The Eighth Sage King asked, "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best."

Qing Zhu looked at the Eight Sage Kings, and said with a smile, "It's very simple, just to oppose the prime minister, and the more obvious the better."

The Baxian King felt that Qingzhu's words were a little strange, so he asked, "Do you have any enmity with the prime minister?"

Qingzhu said, "Didn't you say that as long as you can do something, you will definitely do your best? Don't you get scared when you hear the prime minister?"

The Baxian King smiled lightly and said, "Why am I afraid of that old man? I just want to know the reason why you targeted the prime minister. Since you don't want to say it, I won't force it, so I agree."

The summer wind blows, the hair of the green bamboo flutters with the wind, and a trace of fragrance permeates the air. The Eighth Prince looks at the beautiful green bamboo in front of him, and his heart is filled with mixed feelings. When he finds himself falling in love with the green bamboo, Qingzhu left him, and when he finally met her again, she became his own brother's concubine, how could he bear such a blow?Since you can't love her openly, then bury this love deeply, and be her flower protector, only quietly guarding her side, as long as she can be happy, as long as she can be happy, as long as she is not hurt, I am satisfied.
