[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

When they arrived at the Suo Mansion, Xuan Ye asked her: "I'm going to see Soni, will you go to the inner house to meet your mother, or go with me?"

Zhu Jin wondered what Xuan Ye meant, he was unwilling to make public all the way, Cao Yin was the only one who came with him, and even Suo'etu didn't inform him, and after returning home, it was Ama Kabula who answered the door, look at her Ama obviously got the news early in the morning. When she goes to the inner courtyard, it will be easy for her to see Irgenjue Luoshi, but this visit will definitely cause countless people in the inner courtyard. Everyone in the city knew that the emperor had come to Suofu to see Soni.

After all, this is not what Xuan Ye wanted, so she just smiled and replied: "The concubine is going with the emperor, and the concubine has not seen Mafa for a long time, and I miss him very much, and now I just go with the emperor Look."

Xuan Ye was noncommittal to her answer, nodded and said nothing more, only let Gabula lead the way, and the group of three went to Sony's yard.

Kabula here at Sony has already made arrangements. There are no idlers, only two maids who have been serving Sony all year round. He went to guard outside the courtyard gate, and then he turned his head to Xuan Ye and said, "Your Majesty, Ah Ma is meeting the Emperor inside. According to the Emperor's order, Ah Ma did not dare to come out to greet the Emperor, so she had to kneel inside to greet the Emperor. The slave is here The outside is guarded by the emperor, the emperor can rest assured."

Before Xuanye could speak, Zhujin followed Kabula's words and said: "The concubine is also guarding outside with Ama, the emperor just goes in first, and the concubine will go in after the emperor and Mafa have finished talking about state affairs. Look at Marfa."

She always remembered that Xuan Ye had doubted her. She was not interested in these politics at first. Expressing her unwillingness to follow in, it can be regarded as expressing to Xuan Ye her unwillingness to intervene in politics as a queen.

"It's fine if you, Ama, don't go in. You are my queen, how can I let you stand in the cold wind and suffer from the cold? Then I would be too unreasonable,"

Zhu Jin's words made Xuan Ye smile, "I am discussing state affairs with Sony, you can listen to it, and I grant you permission not to avoid it."

After returning from Nanyuan, he knew that the emperor's grandmother asked her carefully about all the things that happened in Nanyuan in those few days, and she also told the emperor's grandmother one by one, but she never told him about it. Telling the secret, it can be seen that she has a sense of proportion in her heart, and knows what to say and what not to say. Xuanye feels that, just for this, he should not suspect her of wanting to interfere in politics. He thought, when he was discussing important matters with Sony , she can listen from the sidelines, there is no need to avoid it.

Xuan Ye said so, there is no need for Zhu Jin to avoid it on purpose, she followed Xuan Ye into the room, and at a glance she saw Sonny really kneeling in the room, seeing Sonny wearing only a thin coat, she I became anxious all of a sudden, and went over to help Sonny up in a hurry: "Mafa, how can you kneel here in this cold weather in single clothes? It's still snowing outside. Zensheng is good?"

She also knew in her heart that this was the rule, and she couldn't complain, but felt sorry for Sony's cold.

Soni didn't let Zhujin help him up, he just knelt down, looked up at Xuanye, then looked at Zhujin, and smiled lovingly: "Your Majesty is sympathetic, I don't dare to be an old minister. There is a charcoal fire in this room, and I can't freeze the old minister." What's more, it's snowing outside but not inside the house, the emperor is coming, he should go outside the mansion to greet him, but now the emperor welcomes the old officials in the inner room, it's extra gracious, how can the old officials not know the rules and rely on the old to sell the old?"

Sony said this passage, intermittently several times, and only continued after a few heavy coughs.

"Suo Zhongtang, get up quickly, there is only me and the queen here, no outsiders are here, so there is no need for Suo Zhongtang to be polite,"

Xuan Ye signaled Zhu Jin to help Soni up, and went forward to help Sonny to lean on the bed with him, and after Sonny sat down, he smiled, "Suo Zhongtang is sick, and he shouldn't be bothered by these red tapes." Bound, I do not allow you to go out to meet, why do you have to kneel in the room to meet? Suo Zhongtang does not need to have a queen, the queen is the granddaughter of Zhongtang, and the court should respect the rules and regulations. This is in the private house , naturally the family law is the strongest, Zhongtang only wants to see you today as his granddaughter and grandson-in-law."

"The old minister dare not,"

Soni said, "The veteran has been sick since winter and cannot serve as a council member. He can only rest in the palace. The emperor and the empress dowager always remember the veteran, and often send the imperial doctor to see the old minister's illness. The old minister is so grateful that I can’t repay the empress dowager and the emperor’s sympathy for the old minister!”

"You are the minister of the humerus of the imperial court. Both the imperial grandmother and I still rely on you, and the imperial court also needs you. At this juncture, you can't be troubled. The imperial grandmother and I also don't want the middle court to have trouble!"

Sony has not been in court for several months. Although there are three other auxiliary ministers who handle the government affairs, without Sony to frighten these people in the court, these three people are not of one mind, and they often quarrel. The most important thing is Su The quarrel between Kesaha and Oboi sometimes lasts for several days, and the government affairs are not resolved at all. The auxiliary ministers are arguing, and Zhu Zhuo can't go on, so the decree cannot be implemented. If it is not urgent, it is fine. I don't know how many things have been delayed. He listened to the government and listened anxiously, but he couldn't do anything. He only thought in his heart that if this continues, the Qing Dynasty doesn't know what it will be harmed by these gangsters It looks like it!

So Sony must recover from illness and return to court, and he also hopes that Sony can return to court after illness, and all he can do is to have the imperial physician come frequently and give medicines from time to time. important.

Xuanye is sitting in front of the bed and talking with Sony, while Zhujin has already found a seat to sit quietly and listen to the two of them talking.

"Your majesty, even if the emperor doesn't come to see the old minister, the old minister still wants to invite the emperor to come. The old minister has something to say that I don't understand in the memorial, and I can't write it. I can only tell the emperor face to face."

Hearing what Xuan Ye said, and thinking about his physical condition, Soni could only sigh, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that this old minister doesn't want to recover from his illness and return to court. , all the time limit is running out, and the old minister is already suffering from illness, if it is not because of the unfinished business of the emperor, the old minister is not at ease, I am afraid that he will not be able to persist until now, even if the old minister can still live, but the veteran also understands, but It's been a matter of the past two years, and the old minister doesn't have many days left, so I'm afraid the old minister can't complete the blueprint for the emperor one by one. The old minister can only pave the road for the emperor, but the emperor needs to go by himself It's all over!"

Xuanye also listened to the reports from the imperial physician every time. He knew that Sonny's health was getting worse and worse, and the imperial physician told him the same way. The medication was delayed, and there might be a year or two, but it was already dying. It looked like the oil was running out, and it was impossible to think about it well, so he brought the pearls and brocades to see Soni in person, which was also what the emperor's grandmother had ordered him to do.

"Just say what Zhongtang has to say. I'll listen. I will keep what Zhongtang said firmly in my heart."

"The veteran has already made a plan for the emperor. The emperor has already married, and the matter of taking charge of the government can already be put on the agenda. After this year passes, and the spring of next March, the veteran will take the lead in writing a letter asking the emperor to take charge of the government. At that time, how many How many people sincerely hope that the emperor will be in charge, but those who have hesitation and hesitation must be unwilling to return to the emperor. For such people, the emperor does not need to pay attention to them, just do what he knows That's it."

"Don't bother?"

Xuan Ye frowned and said, "Does Zhongtang want me to turn a blind eye?"

After he came to power, those who were hesitant and unwilling to return to power must be stumbling him. If he ignored it, even if he was in power, it would be very difficult for him to implement his own government orders.

"That's right, that's exactly what the old minister meant. Because the old minister's papers, the emperor must keep them in the middle. Since they keep the papers in the middle, naturally they don't need to pay attention to those who made the papers at night."

Soni explained, "If the emperor wants to be in charge of the government, all the courtiers must sincerely ask the emperor to be in charge of the government. Even if they are not sincere, they must be willing on the surface. All civil and military officials must ask the emperor to be in charge. At that time, the emperor will be able to govern personally, no matter whether everyone likes it or not, as long as everyone agrees, the emperor can govern personally."

"Master Zhongtang means that if there is one person who is not willing, I will not be able to take charge of the government? And even if they are all willing, they still have to ask me, so that I can take charge of the government?"

Xuan Ye said, "But Master Zhongtang, have you ever thought about it? This Obai is the first to disagree. How could he ask me to take over the government?"

"Even if Oboi can agree to let the emperor be in charge, how can he beg the emperor? Besides, let alone Oboi, I don't think all the ministers of civil and military affairs are willing to beg. Since they are all accepted, why should anyone beg? Your majesty Do you need to be so twitchy when you are in charge of the government? I don’t understand, it’s fine if you just agree to be in charge of the government. Why bother? The emperor and Mafa have been looking forward to the government. Do you want this?"

After listening to it for a long time, Zhu Jin couldn't help interjecting and asked, she felt in her heart that it was unnecessary for the ministers to beg Xuan Ye to be in charge. She didn't understand this in her previous life. , I had to ask in spite of the rules.

Sony was a little nervous about his granddaughter's interruption, for fear that Xuan Ye would be angry, but Xuan Ye let out a smile when he heard it, and replied: "What do you not understand? A Jin, you don't know, let the ministers Shang Zhezi asked me to be in charge of the government, but I still have to decline again and again, and I have to go back and forth three times before I can agree to be in charge of the government, this is a rule, and it is also a style, if it is not like this, how can I show that I am virtuous?"

"The emperor is right, that's the truth,"

Sony also said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Oboi's disapproval. At the beginning, he definitely wouldn't agree, but it is the ancestral system to govern at the age of 14. The first emperor was in charge at the age of 14. Obai was ordered by the late emperor. If he does not follow this rule, then he is deceiving the emperor to resist the will and intend to rebel. At that time, if the emperor does not show up, some people will look down on him. If the emperor arouses public outrage, then Oboi will seek his own death! What's more, it is also a rule that the emperor does not change the paternal system for three years after he ascended the throne. The first emperor was 14 years old, so the emperor must do the same. It's too late, and it can't be delayed for two years."

Therefore, in the end, all civil and military officials will obediently ask the emperor to take charge of the government. At that time, the real time is ripe.
