Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

The three of them were all taken aback for a moment, and then pointed to Meng Jiachen who buried his head in Wei Ruozhu's chest at the same time, tears like the Qiantang River bursting.

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohui needs to be involved in this matter." Since Daiyu was one of the maids, she took the lead in saying this.

Wei Ruozhu held his forehead: "..."

Don't look at her as the queen regent now, but there is really nothing she can do about her daughter.

She first smiled apologetically at Xue Hengjun who was completely sluggish, and helped Meng Jiachen who was hanging on her body like an octopus, and walked to the side of the phoenix chair almost half-carrying Meng Jiachen.

As she walked, she lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing again?"

There is a bit of irrefutable majesty in the tone.

Who knew that Meng Jiachen approached with a playful smile and said, "Mother, tell me, do you trust me or these ministers?"

"This is a major national event, not a place where you can mess around." Wei Ruozhu was a little angry, "Who allowed you to come here? This is a place to discuss major issues, not a place for you to play around."

"Father." Meng Jiachen answered simply, "He said that the sooner you learn about this kind of important government affairs, the better. If you are late, you should be led by the nose by these ministers."

If it wasn't for Wei Ruozhu's self-cultivation, he would really roll his eyes.

Regarding the matter of the crown prince, the emperor, Wei Ruozhu, and Empress Dowager Zhen reached a wonderful consensus. Because the Empress Dowager Zhen forced those concubines who had children to death, she would naturally not consider adopting from the clan. Wei Ruozhu said nothing, Meng Jiachen was her biological daughter. As for the emperor, the emperor also knew that his health was basically not going to get better. Instead of taking advantage of his brothers at that time, it would be better for his daughter to inherit the throne.

Among these daughters, the emperor asked himself that although he dotes on the eldest daughter more, everyone would like a child who can speak well and act like a baby, but when it comes to the connections in the court and the intelligence of his mind, he still has to talk about Meng Jiachen, who appreciates this even more. Daughter, even in private, this child has no shape at all, and has a playful smile all day long.

Meng Jiachen's temperament is evasive, gentle on the surface, but in fact his ideas are righteous and stubborn, and he has never played cards according to common sense, so it is not easy to be manipulated by the cabinet ministers.

The matter of choosing the crown prince, of course, can't be carried away by emotion, because it is related to the achievements of the ancestors and the family of the Meng family.

Although the Queen's matter is unreasonable in terms of etiquette, but the rules are made by people, right?

The emperor had a good plan. When Meng Jiachen went to pay his respects today, he thought that Meng Jiachen was not young at this time, so he might as well go to listen to the government and practice. Anyway, the Empress Dowager Zhen felt the cold a few days ago and couldn't get up. With Wei Ruozhu alone, he was still a little uneasy, so he told Meng Jiachen to let her help his mother with the government affairs for a few days.

Meng Jiachen also knew what his parents arranged for him, so he went without saying anything.

then……

She quarreled with Xue Hengjun.

Wei Ruozhu actually agreed with it at the beginning, but what she didn't expect was that Meng Jiachen would come here for her.

"Go in." Wei Ruozhu pointed to the bead curtain behind the phoenix chair, "I'll tell you about your business later."

With a straight face, Meng Jiachen walked away without hesitation as if he was going to the execution ground.

Only then did the rest of the ministers salute Wei Ruozhu.

"What do you want to discuss with the Qing family?" Wei Ruozhu said with a face, the good mood of the afternoon was completely ruined by Meng Jiachen.

Only then did Xue Hengjun tell the whole story of the incident.

However, it is to send troops southward in three directions, Siam has agreed to send troops, but it is still a bit doubtful who should lead the army on the Fujian sea road.

If Lin Xi hadn't joined the cabinet, then it would have been Lin Xi, and Shi Ding hadn't gone south, so it wouldn't be impossible to let Shi Ding go.

But these two people are now civil servants, and they didn't even mention it.

"Why did you change people?" Lin Yuzhen frowned and muttered, "What's wrong with Feng Tang?"

She remembered it was Feng Tang.

Because the Queen of Scotland announced her right to inherit the British throne, she has been busy communicating with the Holy See on behalf of the Queen of Scotland these days, talking birds all day long, staying with foreign envoys, and not paying attention Let's see what's going on here.

She just came from Honglu Temple and wanted to go home on the way, but was blocked here.

"Originally it was Feng Tang, but Feng Tang broke his leg a few days before his death. It was broken in the Xishan paddock," Ning Yun explained. She glanced at Daiyu, then raised her chin to glance at the inner room. , "It is said that it is because of that guy, and no one knows exactly how it is because of the tight cover. It will be a bit embarrassing to replace it with someone."

Meritorious and poor families have always been a difficult place.

Daiyu said helplessly: "Sooner or later, this girl will need a capable person to take care of her." Then she hurriedly asked, "What happened at that time? No one looked into it?"

Ning Yun said: "Who would dare?"

That's right, who would have trouble with the princess?

Girls from the Meng family are not the same as those from the Aixinjueluo family. The princesses of the Aixinjueluo family are like canaries in a cage.

There are too many examples, but from the fact that basically all the princesses are related to seizing the reserve and rebellion, and basically retreated unscathed, it can be seen that this group of children is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Wei Ruozhu knew that Meng Jiachen didn't like everyone in the Feng family, but he didn't expect the child to be so bold. He had already scolded him severely for making such a move that day, and then he still had the guts to come here to quarrel today.

Although he was scolded, Meng Jiachen didn't admit his mistake. He had a good reason, and this family couldn't do it.

Because of a big fight with Meng Jiachen, Xue Hengjun also consciously changed the candidate

——They are mother and daughter.

The six people discussed secretly again, and then singled out this person.

"Marquis of Pingyang." Wei Ruozhu thought for a while, and this is a good candidate, "He is talented in literature and martial arts, and he is the general who will attack the Northwest that day, so it is decided."

A few people discussed other trivial matters, such as the fluctuation of the Yellow River this year, the harvest on both sides of the river, and so on.

"The three of you stay here for a while." Wei Ruozhu stopped Ning Yun and the others when the ministers all retreated, "Go to the side hall and wait, you are also here, I have something to discuss with you. "

After finishing speaking, he walked into the living room, dragged Meng Jiachen to the Daming Palace.

"Our family should talk."

##

Daming Palace.

Wei Ruozhu threw out all the palace people and scolded the emperor Meng Jiachen.

"You're used to it." Wei Ruozhu pointed at Meng Jiachen and said angrily.

The emperor put his arms around Meng Jiachen indiscriminately, and said, "Why am I still used to it?"

"Isn't it you who is used to it? Is it possible that I am used to it?" Wei Ruozhu sat angrily on the armchair carved with dragons and phoenixes, "You don't know, this girl is so bold now , got into a quarrel with Xue Cifu, and made an old minister of his age unable to step down, saying no, no matter how hard he looked for him."

Meng Jiachen said: "Father, are you facing me or my mother?"

After a long time, the emperor squeezed out a sentence, "Can't you solve your problems by yourself?" Then he rubbed his forehead, "My head hurts, my chest hurts, my whole body hurts, ahhhhh, hurry up and send the doctor."

Meng Jiachen said: "Don't change the subject." She looked at Wei Ruozhu and said to the emperor: "If one day my mother and I both fall into the water, who will you save?"

The emperor answered very simply this time, "I don't know how to use water." Then he patted Meng Jiachen, "Your mother knows how to drink, why don't you hurry up and beg your mother?"

Wei Ruozhu laughed angrily at the father and daughter.

"It's really a child of your Meng family. You can't talk more than your brain." Wei Ruozhu scolded Meng Jiachen, "You won't tell people well? Kneel down at the Taimiao every now and then. If you want to go so much, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing that Wei Ruozhu was really angry, Meng Jiachen quickly approached with a playful smile, and squatted in front of Wei Ruozhu, "Mother, I know I was wrong, so don't be angry."

"You know you're wrong, tell me when did you correct it?" Wei Ruozhu stared at Meng Jiachen, "You have an idea, but when did you not listen to me and not regret it?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Meng Jiachen prevaricated.

Wei Ruozhu was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, "You go out first, I will talk to your father."

Only then did Meng Jiachen slip away like oil on his feet.

Only then did Wei Ruozhu get to the point, "I have something to tell you." She sat on the dragon bed and whispered something to the emperor in a low voice. ?”

Wei Ruozhu sighed, "Seven out of ten."

The emperor frowned, "News from Tianjiangwei?"

"Xichang." Wei Ruozhu answered simply, "But it's basically like this, brother, do you think this matter, do you want to..."

After all, this matter was between the two countries, and there were too many disputes involved, so she had to say hello to the emperor.

"When the father was so halfway back then, he felt that there was a problem. The result was good, and something really happened." The emperor said helplessly, "As long as the checks and balances are out of balance, Taixi will definitely take advantage of it...Taixi... .”

"How is the incident with the Holy See Taixi at Honglu Temple going?" The emperor thought for a while, but asked an irrelevant question.

After all, they are husband and wife for many years, and Wei Ruozhu also understands, "There will be a conclusion in October at the latest. Even if the Holy See does not nod, England will not dare to act rashly. On the other side of Russia, as long as it is Chen Jun in the northwest, the Northeast Islands will send troops. , should not intervene without authorization."

The emperor said, "That's not bad."

"Brother, in your opinion..." Wei Ruozhu asked tentatively.

"Extend your hand." The emperor said to Wei Ruozhu, "See if we want to go together."

Wei Ruozhu stretched out his hand as he said, and the emperor wrote a word of war in her hand. Wei Ruozhu stared at her, thought for a while and said, "It's a coincidence."

"Then what do you think?"

Wei Ruozhu wrote a word "Tong" in the palm of the emperor's hand.

The emperor frowned, "I am a big country, I practice benevolence, Confucianism governs the country, and treat the surrounding small countries with courtesy, it has always been like this since the Qin and Han Dynasties."

"Today is not as good as before." Wei Ruozhu sighed, and she also knew that this matter could not be done easily, because once it started, there would be no turning back. There is a gap in my Jin Dynasty. From this incident, you can also see that Fusang is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it. Once the time comes, we will be attacked from both sides. Now we are naturally not afraid, but a hundred years later What? Can you guarantee that we will..."

The emperor stretched out his hand to stop Wei Ruozhu's next words, "I understand the truth, we can't do much for our children and grandchildren, but it's better to think about the future."

This is agreed.

"But we can't be the first to start this battle." The emperor rubbed his temples, "We have to learn from a famous teacher."

"I've thought of this." Wei Ruozhu was originally smart, and she thought of everything. If she was still a prince concubine, she would put on a pretense, saying that your majesty is wise, and wants to be ahead of her concubines, etc., but now this In such a general situation, it would be useless to talk about these useless things.

"Then let's do this." The emperor was straightforward.

Regarding Wei Ruozhu's intelligence, he didn't think anything of it, but he was relieved that Wei Ruozhu would handle affairs, because the future of the country was to be handed over to their daughter. But in the end, Meng Jiachen was born together, and now the affairs of the court are basically decided by the queen guard. With his wings already full, he can't do much, so he is naturally happy to see Wei Ruozhu arrange everything properly and hand it over to his daughter.

Children, if you coax them and sing about their bad faces, they will get close to whoever they are.

Coupled with the fact that Wei Ruozhu is strict with children now, and the relationship between mother and daughter is not as good as before. Of course, he is not afraid that there will be chaos after Empress Wu in the future.

If the concubine's daughter or the clan's adoptive ascended the throne, facing this aunt, she would be restrained in terms of patriarchal law, but the biological daughter is different. After all, it is the biological one. No matter what you do, you can be forgiven, so you can control Mother, even if he becomes the Supreme Emperor, it will be easy to control the government, isn't it?

Wei Ruozhu himself was well aware of the small calculations in the emperor's mind.

After all, so many years have passed.

If the emperor can accept Meng Jiachen as the empress, it is absolutely impossible to touch her before Meng Jiachen takes the throne. After he takes the throne, it is Meng Jiachen's own decision.

After all, the relationship between a daughter and her mother is much closer than that of a father. Although Meng Jiachen sometimes cries and fights with the emperor, but to put it bluntly, it is just a matter of face, because the emperor promised to reciprocate when he can ascend the throne, coaxing the emperor Just be happy, at the critical moment, it is absolutely impossible to stand on the father's side.

The royal family is all about saving face.

The child has a scale in his heart.

That day, the two princesses in the East Palace, apart from food and clothing, had such a disparity in treatment in front of their father, how much Meng Jiachen still saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

As a mother, she knows what her daughter will do when she speaks. Wei Ruozhu knows that Meng Jiachen's various behaviors are just to maintain a balance and make the emperor feel that her daughter has a crack with her mother, so the two of them can't even get angry. After failing to pass, Lian Shou staged such a good show.

The author has something to say:
