Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 719 Changsun's Persuasion

Ma Zhou's explanation was very clear, and Yang Gongren could understand it too.To put it simply, Wei Zheng did nothing wrong, the officials knew this, and the emperor also knew it.Moreover, the emperor also knew that it was wrong to do so, but he still wanted to do it.

Therefore, Yang Gongren asked: "Since you said that His Majesty knew it was inappropriate for you to do so, why did you persist?"

"Two reasons." Ma Zhou said: "First, Your Majesty is really infatuated with Princess Qin. Cough cough cough cough." At this point, Ma Zhou coughed, vaguely.After all, this is not something glorious, and he is not good at evaluating the emperor.

Then, he said: "As for the other one, it is that the group of ministers opposed His Majesty, which made His Majesty very uncomfortable, because you are forcing His Majesty to do things. And Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he followed the late Emperor to conquer the world and destroy the Turks. Such an emperor, His Majesty, can only persuade His Majesty with kind words, and cannot confront His Majesty with strong persuasion, otherwise it will only be counterproductive."

Hearing this, Yang Gongren understood.

"You are right."

Immediately afterwards, he asked again: "In your opinion, how will this matter develop?"

"It's very simple, either you compromise, or His Majesty the Emperor eliminates those uncompromising ministers. Even, including Wei Zheng."

"How can this be done? As the Son of Heaven, how can he demote his loyal ministers for doing something wrong? Isn't this just nonsense!" Yang Gongren shook his head and said.

"Xiangguo thinks how to solve it is the best of both worlds?" Shangguanyi asked.

Yang Gongren smiled wryly, "I don't have that ability."

Ma Zhou said, "There is another way."

"any solution?"

"Wei Zheng compromises."

"You mean, as long as Wei Zheng doesn't care about this matter, His Majesty will not continue to pursue it?" Yang Gongren guessed.

"That's right." Ma Zhou said: "Actually, if you go around, you can't get around Princess Naqin. If His Majesty doesn't do what he wants this time, he will always feel in his heart that you are persecuting him."

Yang Gongren was silent, he really didn't want Princess Qin to enter the palace.Because not only is there disharmony in etiquette, but it will also affect Queen Yang's status.

Because the emperor loves this woman so much, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
If Princess Qin is not allowed to enter the palace, who knows who His Majesty will relegate next?
Seemingly seeing Yang Gongren's entanglement, Ma Zhou reminded: "Xiangguo, you must not stand out in this matter, otherwise His Majesty will definitely be dissatisfied. Wei Zheng is the most suitable person. He opposes His Majesty, and His Majesty has nothing to do."

Yang Gongren nodded, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

What Wei Zheng did was right in the end, and the emperor knew he was right. More importantly, Wei Zheng was a former minister of the emperor's hidden residence, and he had a natural advantage in the emperor's heart.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, he clearly knew that this was wrong, but he insisted on doing it. But he also understands the truth, and he didn't go his own way, go to war, and even didn't demote Wei Zheng. I really don't know how to comment."

Ma Zhou agreed with Yang Gongren's words very much.

If the emperor didn't listen to anyone this time, and directly conferred the title of Concubine Qin, it could still be said that the emperor acted arbitrarily and would not listen to persuasion.However, what Wei Zheng said was so ugly, the emperor not only didn't punish him, but rewarded him instead, which made the courtiers very depressed.

You clearly know what you are doing is wrong, but why do you still do it.

Shangguanyi said with a smile: "Your Majesty's temper sometimes looks like a child's."

"What You Shao said is exactly." Ma Zhou clapped his hands.

Yang Gongren said: "Oh, something will happen next."

Hearing this, Ma Zhou smiled lightly, but said nothing.

Not long after, Yang Gongren left, leaving behind Ma Zhou and Shangguanyi.

"Brother Ma, what kind of person is Your Majesty?" Shangguanyi asked curiously.

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that he is the king of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that sometimes he is too domineering, and he doesn't care what outsiders think of him. This makes me very strange. An ordinary emperor can be your majesty." Such a feat must be conscientious, and he must be cautious in order to win the title of Mingjun.

But Your Majesty, it seems that he doesn't care about the evaluation of Ming Jun.Hey, that Wei Shangshu wants His Majesty the Emperor to be a Mingjun, but His Majesty himself doesn't seem to be very interested.From my point of view, His Majesty doesn't care about his own reputation. "

"You can see clearly."

Ma Zhou smiled and drank a glass of wine.

As an outsider, he can naturally jump out and see clearly.

Three days later, outside the Ganlu Palace.

The Changsun family stood pretty, and the queen whispered next to her: "Second sister-in-law, I have no choice but to ask you to persuade your majesty. His majesty has been sick for a few days, and the court will not be opened, and the ministers are also worried. I hope you can persuade His Majesty.

Back then when His Majesty wanted to accept you, I had nothing to do with it, but now that things have developed to such an extent, no one would have thought of it. "

Mrs. Changsun nodded slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the incident happened because of me, and I will give you an explanation for your Majesty the Empress."

"It's not to explain to me, but to persuade Your Majesty not to be childish." Empress Yang smiled wryly and shook her head, "I never thought about it, Your Majesty will be like this this time."

Changsun said: "I know what to do."

In the hall, Li Zhiyun was reading the newspaper boredly.In the past few days, he asked Xuanyiwei to send over all the documents of ministers with dirty buttocks, and then told Yushitai to investigate and arrest them one by one, one by one, and killed more than a dozen corpses in succession.

Although he was angry, he was not too angry to get carried away. The courtiers who were relegated were either incompetent, or the kind with a lot of black material.

"Who will be next?"

Just as he was thinking about something, a voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, Princess Qin asks to see you." Gao Liangzhong came over and reported in a low voice.

"Huh?" Li Zhiyun looked at Gao Liangzhong, "Why is she here?"

Gao Liangzhong bowed his head and said, "It was brought by the empress."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun frowned a little, and then said: "Let her in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Mrs. Changsun stepped into the Ganlu Hall.

"Meet Your Majesty and greet Your Majesty."

"I'm safe, Guanyin's servant is free." Li Zhiyun stepped forward and helped her up.

Changsun looked at the emperor and asked, "Does Your Majesty want my concubine to die without a place to bury her?"

"Why did you say that?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled.

Changsun said: "Nowadays, all officials in the government and the public are panic-stricken. They all know that it is because they do not agree with His Majesty's concubine, which makes His Majesty furious. Has Your Majesty ever thought about how a concubine should behave if this matter is spread?

What will happen to the concubine's reputation in the history books in the future? "

Li Zhiyun pursed his lips, feeling quite a headache.

He was really angry not because of this incident, but because those guys dared to force him to do something.

But the Guanyin servant girl was right.

I don't need to care about fame, what about her?
"Oh." Li Zhiyun shook his head, "You guys don't understand."

Changsun said: "I am a stupid woman, and I really don't understand your majesty's foresight, but I know that your majesty must not abolish the government because of my concubine, otherwise my concubine will be listed in the history books in the future, and there will be people who praise Si Daji."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun said: "Yes, I did not think about it this time."

In his heart, he didn't think he was ill-considered at all, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

It's just that whoever makes him unhappy, he will make him unhappy.

Some people, although loyal, don't distinguish between priorities, which already made him very uncomfortable.

Although he is an emperor, he is also a human being after all.

"Since your majesty knows your mistake, please return to the government." Changsun said.

"You are here, if I don't go out again, who knows if they will let all the officials kneel outside the imperial city next time, so I have to go out and admit my mistake!" Li Zhiyun's eyes flashed a cold look.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

No one should try to force yourself, otherwise whoever you are will die!
