​‍‌​‍‌☆、Emperor Strategy 13

Xiao Yu’s prediction was indeed good. After the news spread in the palace that the emperor was getting married, people in Liang Jing were in a state of confusion.At that time, the emperor’s selection of concubines in the harem was not customized. Most of the concubines in the palace were selected by the inner court from the Gyeonggi area, and they were selected from good families with innocent family backgrounds. The more important queens, concubines, concubines, etc. were mostly recommended by the emperor’s aunts and sisters.

Yao Ji’s direct aunt, Princess Anyang, has passed away long ago, and her sister, Princess Rongshou, has not yet opened a palace but still lives in the palace. The job of “pimping” the emperor fell on her cousins.Although they are said to be cousins, the blood relationship is actually very far. Most of them are Guangzong’s cousins, and the most virtuous and respected among them is the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty, the cousin of the young emperor.

Yaoji then saw her tremblingly entering the palace, walking slowly in front of her, and then tremblingly dancing and saluting. She quickly asked someone to stop her: “My aunt, don’t be too polite. Duan Hongyuan, please give me a seat.”

The eldest princess of Song Dynasty looked pleased: “The saint has grown up, it’s time to spread the branches and leaves of our family.”

Yao Ji felt guilty and could only apologize with a stiff face. Then she saw the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty taking out a stack of rosters: “These are all ladies from the capital. I have seen them for the saint. They all have good looks and good tempers. The saint will see which ones he likes. If he likes them all, no one will say anything after accepting them.”

But she was not afraid of what others would say, but she couldn’t bear it. Yao Ji felt like crying, and she still had to take the roster and look through it.As expected, they were all ladies from well-known families, and most of them were girls from aristocratic families, and there were also quite a few young ladies from noble families. This was natural. The noble families wanted to be the father-in-law of the emperor, and the nobles wanted to be the father-in-law of the emperor, too, but they couldn’t watch them eat meat. We couldn’t even take a sip of the soup.

This was something Yao Ji had not expected. She originally thought that the nobles would not get involved in this matter because they were under Xiao Yu’s control.Xiao Yu said, “Power moves people’s hearts. How can I stop people from thinking about the position of queen?” Besides, even if she fails to become a queen, there is no chance of becoming a queen mother.

Yao Ji could only sigh and sigh all day long. As soon as she heard that any princess asked to enter the palace, her eyelids jumped wildly.Of course, such prevarication was not the answer. It was rare that she lost her temper and kicked out all the princesses who came to the palace to “sell ladies”. She also passed on an oral message. This wedding is only for the first generation, and I intend to belong to the three daughters of the Duke of Qi. There is no need to mention the others.

There was an immediate uproar in both the government and the public. Not to mention that the queen’s position fell to the Duke of Qi. What did the emperor convey by doing this?

You must know that the aristocratic family’s willingness to send girls to the palace is actually a signal to make peace with the emperor. As long as the emperor is not stupid, he will naturally accept the young ladies sent to the palace by the aristocratic families, but he does not do this.

For this reason, Cui Jun deliberately persuaded the young emperor during the lecture: “Sage, I’m afraid this is inappropriate.” Such a slap in the face will only cause dissatisfaction in the family.

Yao Ji couldn’t tell her the pain, so she could only put on an enigmatic look: “I know it, you don’t need to persuade me anymore.”

“So, the saint has gone astray with the regent?” Chao Qian was puzzled. Is the emperor stupid?

“But Xiao Qi didn’t end up with anything good,” another minister said, “The honorable nobles have been jumping up and down during this period, but they haven’t gotten what they wanted?”

“You don’t understand,” Zhang Jingan sneered, “No one got what they wanted. It’s the best for Xiao Qi. There will be no other people between him and the saint.” Just like this, the emperor aroused public anger, and Zhang Jingan couldn’t help but be suspicious. Looking at the emperor’s daily words and deeds, it doesn’t seem like he lacks political literacy. How could he do such a stupid thing this time.

Jiang Yong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sneered: “It doesn’t matter if you go all the way with Xiao Qi. If the emperor is not good, then let someone else do it. I think King Zhou is suitable.” – King Zhou is Xiao Shen’s title.

When Cui Jun heard this, he couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted sternly: “Mr. Jiang, be careful what you say!”

Jiang Yong smiled: “Master, why should I take it seriously? I’m just joking.”

But whether this was a joke or not, everyone present knew very well that the matter of abolishing the establishment was a life-threatening matter, but the family had done this kind of thing before. Since they had the intention of abolishing the establishment, everyone couldn’t help but think about it secretly. Everyone except Cui Jun, who looked gloomy, didn’t know what they were thinking.

After everyone resigned, Zhang Jingan left Jiang Yong behind: “Mr. Jiang, are you serious about what you just said?” Seeing Jiang Yong’s noncommittal, he sighed slightly, “Although the saint’s behavior is inappropriate, it is not to the point of deposing him.” After all, he had watched the little emperor in the past few years, and the emperor had always been polite to him, and he was still a little hesitant in his heart.

Jiang Yong said, “Has Mr. Zhang heard about the rumors in Beijing?”

Zhang Jingan was stunned for a moment, then realized: “You mean… the rumors about the saint’s masculine behavior? Could it be…”

“It may not be without reason,” Jiang Yong said with a hint of coldness between his brows, “If the saint really has an affair with Xiao Qi, and given Xiao Qi’s attitude of hating the family, if we don’t plan in advance, I’m afraid it will be too late.”

Naturally, Yao Ji didn’t know about this private conversation. The palace was busy preparing for the emperor’s wedding, and there was a lot of commotion.Yao Ji’s feelings about this were extremely complicated. She had a secret talk with Yuan Shou’an, the Duke of Qi. Yuan Shou’an repeatedly promised: “How can I not want my daughter to be loyal to the saint? Besides, she entered the palace and became the queen. To put it bluntly, it is a great honor for my Yuan family, and it is something that I dare not even think about. This is the grace of the saint.”

Yao Ji could see that he said this from the bottom of his heart. I am afraid that most people in this era would also think so. Being able to be a queen, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?Even if she marries a real man, that man may not respect her and love her. She might as well be rich and powerful.

She thinks that she has always strived to have a clear conscience when doing things. She has no selfish motives, but sometimes she lacks understanding and empathy for others.As Xiao Yu said, you are not a fish, how can you know the happiness of fish?A’s arsenic, B’s honey, the ancients never deceived me.

She told Xiao Yu her thoughts. Xiao Yu thought for a while and suddenly asked: “What if something is arsenic in the eyes of A and B, but you have to do it?”

Yao Ji couldn’t help but think of the choice that led to her breakup with Li Zheng in her previous life: “I will swallow it myself.”

“You are not suitable to be an emperor, Yaoyao,” Xiao Yu smiled, “A king must be kind, self-disciplined, and diligent. You have done all of these very well, but the most important thing is that you can’t do it.”

“Am I not cruel enough?” she said softly.

Knowing that those sacrifices are no choice, knowing that those injuries are inevitable.Before this, she had never realized so deeply that things in the world were always helpless.Power is inherently heavy and dirty, but sitting in the highest seat in the world, she seems to be carrying cold shackles.

“Jiang Yong was forced to take up his official position due to illness. The various reasons are related to Shen Qi.”

Shen Qi was imprisoned on the charge of communicating with Yi Di, but Yao Ji checked the documents and classics and found that the circumstances of the case were too weird.All the evidence is perfect, link by link, nailing Shen Qi to the pillar of shame of being a collaborator.

“Shen Qi has always been known as a cruel man. He was born in poverty. He was just a minor official in Jingzhao for the first fifty years, but later he rose to great heights and became the prime minister.” Xiao Yu’s voice was extremely calm. “The family was dissatisfied with him, and the nobles were also dissatisfied with him. However, in order to reform, he used fierce methods and almost offended the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. So when he was imprisoned, no one was there for him.He begged for mercy, and the three departments of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai held a joint trial. It only took ten days to convict him for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and beheaded him to barbarize his tribe.

“But everyone knows that Shen Qi was wronged, including the late emperor.

“But he has to die, and if he doesn’t die, the whole court will rise up to attack. When the conflict reaches its most acute point, one person must bear all the stigma and sacrifice for the overall situation.”

“So Shen Qi is dead.” Yao Ji only felt that her voice was vague and she didn’t know where it landed.

“Yes, he is dead…even if he did nothing wrong,” Xiao Yu’s lips showed a vain smile, “This is the emperor. No matter whether he is wise or foolish, no one is clean.”

More than a month passed after that, and Qin Tianjian finally calculated the auspicious day for the emperor’s wedding.The time is set on June 13th. At that time, the royal family still followed the ancient etiquette when getting married. However, including the wedding ceremony, the emperor did not need to go there in person.

On the eighth day of April, the palace sent envoys to the Qi Duke’s Mansion to propose marriage, but on June 13th, the streets of Beijing were packed with people.Liang Jingzhong lifted the curfew for the first time that day, and built a huge Aoshan mountain outside the forbidden city. At dusk, fireworks and firecrackers exploded all over the sky, making the city colorful and colorful.

There was a banquet in the palace all night long, and those who could enter the palace to receive the banquet were all the royal relatives and important ministers. Because of his noble status, Xiao Yu sat on the first seat among the official guests with several old princes. On his left was King Jin who had just recovered from a serious illness. The old man took a wine cup and drank a cup with Xiao Yu: “The saint is considered an adult from now on. I feel happy. Come on, Qi Lang, have another drink.”

He held the wine cup with a smile on his lips, but the smile seemed to be separated by a layer of melancholy and falseness.

“The newlyweds should be entering the bridal chamber by now…” King Jin murmured to himself, but before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu stood up suddenly. King Jin was startled, “Qi Lang, where are you going?” However, Xiao Yu’s back was lost in the noise.
