System, help me be an empress

Chapter 37
As the days passed, the Oirat cavalry in front became tighter and tighter, and the battle reports were delivered more and more urgently.The noisy streets in the past are now full of people drinking tea, and the atmosphere in the entire capital is tense.

On the first day of February, Oala envoys went to Beijing again to try to negotiate, but failed repeatedly;
On the third day of February, the Oirat cavalry gave up attacking the three northern cities, intending to bypass Shanhaiguan and go directly north;
On the ninth day of February, the Oirat cavalry took Emperor Sheng Yuan with them, and they came to the capital in a few days.

……

General Wala seems to be certain to win the upper capital for this trip, and he recruited more than 5 horses from Wala. Adding up the front and back, I am afraid that nearly [-] cavalry will go north!

At this time, in Shangjing City, there were less than [-] soldiers at full count, and most of these [-] soldiers had never experienced the battlefield.

During this period, in addition to facing the pressure brought by Oirat, Xu Youxi also frequently received letters from the Empress Dowager Xie from Jiangnan, in which she repeatedly mentioned that Xu Shengshi must be saved no matter what.

The content of these letters was repeated over and over again, and there were only a few sentences:
"No matter how important it is to go to the capital, can it be worth your brother's life?"

"Youxi, your father often told me that the people in the court are complicated, and the queen mother can understand your determination to keep the ancestral property, but you are a weak girl who has just reached the age of [-], and you must not be able to figure out the gang of 'wolves and tigers' in the court! "

"When your imperial brother was going to the royal conquest, the court praised him, saying that your imperial brother's contribution is comparable to that of the founder of the country, and that the man is determined to make meritorious deeds. Now that I think about it, your imperial brother must have been deceived by treacherous officials! You must not repeat the same mistakes! "

Xu Youxi had been with Xie Xixi day and night for six years anyway, so she knew a little about Xie Xixi's temperament. The fact that she could write these words in her letter must be due to the careful guidance of some people in the court.

Before entering the palace, Xie Xixi was a pampered and ignorant young lady. After entering the palace, Emperor Chongjiu wished to present all the treasures in the world to her; Beloved empress, after becoming a queen, Xie Xixi has worked hard to become a decent mother of a country.

It's a pity that Xie Xixi has never understood, and can't understand, why in some people's lives, congress is greater than family, and faith is more important than blood.

Faced with Xie Xixi's repeated letters of questioning, Xu Youxi felt that sadness was unavoidable, but more of it was a sense of powerlessness.

Xu Youxi never wrote a single sentence to refute Xie Xixi's reasoning. Every time she replied, she was very sincere and kept repeating and repeating. The court is already working hard to find a solution, and the matter will be resolved soon.

But Xu Youxi never mentioned what solution he thought of and how to solve the matter.Xie Xixi is not stupid, and the perfunctory attitude in Xu Youxi's letter naturally cannot deceive her. After exchanging several letters, Xie Xixi gave up on Xu Youxi's voluntary surrender. Exchange money for Xu Shengshi.

However, Xu Youxi's forces have long been everywhere in the Jiangnan area, and Xie Xixi's every move is watched by special eyeliners and reported at any time.

Xu Youxi sighed more and more. Seeing that Dagan and Wala were about to go to war, her mother did not forget to send funds to the enemy.

How to do it!

My mother can only bear it.

Xie Xixi wanted to make money, so Xu Youxi arranged for wealthy businessmen in advance to let them practice how to hand over their treasures with unwilling eyes, and then find a group of people to accompany Xie Xixi to continue messing around. In short, don't let her have the idea of ​​returning to Beijing.

In the end, they exchanged the gold and silver treasures sent to Wala for fakes.

The closer the Oirat cavalry approached Shangjing, the louder the retreating voices in the court hall became, and there were many people talking about the queen mother in the memorial.

Another morning.

"Your Majesty, I have a letter to write to you." Feng Heran stood up during the official affairs, "I am entrusted by the Empress Dowager to write a letter to Your Majesty."

"Play."

"Although the Empress Dowager temporarily resides in Jiangnan, she still cares about Shangjing. The Empress Dowager begs the minister to remind Your Majesty, for the sake of the deep bond of flesh and blood, Your Majesty must save the Supreme Emperor, and the Empress Dowager will also wait for His Majesty's reunion in Jiangnan."

The meaning of the Wala people's negotiations was to exchange Shangjing for Emperor Sheng Yuan; the idea of ​​the Queen Mother Xie Xixi was to let Xu Youxi agree to the Wala people's request in exchange for the safety of the two children.

【Feng Heran in the Ministry of Officials】

Integrity: 22%; Efficiency: 46%; Loyalty: 35%; Policy: 42%
Xu Youxi spoke softly: "Are you a member of the Ministry of Officials? I see that you are not very old. Are the elders in your family still alive?"

Feng Heran paused in his heart, and replied honestly: "My mother, Yu Chen, passed away long ago when I was young, and my father has been tending the orchard in his hometown all year round."

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma. Why are you busy with court affairs every day instead of taking care of your father at home?" Xu Youxi asked, "Since you have chosen loyalty first and filial piety, how can you convince me?"

"But the minister's father also wishes that the minister will serve as an official in the court and seek the well-being of the people." Feng Heran quibbled.

Xu Youxi immediately retorted: "How can your father think the same way as your mother! How do you know that your mother's last wish is not that you can accompany her by your father's side and be filial?"

"This……"

His mother had passed away long ago, so how could he ask for it!

"For example, if you only listen to what the queen mother says, how do you know if my father hopes that I can defend the capital with my life? Do you think there are so many heroic souls in my grandparents who are willing to see me give up going to the capital and run away in despair? Jiangnan? I naturally abide by filial piety, and the ancestors of the old Xu family have been watching my every move in the sky!" Xu Youxi got up from the dragon chair and looked down at the officials.

Xu Youxi continued to speak loudly: "Among the officials, whoever thinks that I am not filial, just point it out. I will go to the ancestral hall immediately after I come down to court, and I implore the ancestors of the Xu family to entrust your dream to you!"

"...Don't worry if you don't see it in your dream. Perhaps the ancestors paid special attention to it and hope to have an interview."

There are not many people who do practical things in the court officials, but there are many trolls.

At this time, these speech officials who made the emperors hate each other so much were blocked by Xu Youxi's words, and no one knew how to speak.

"Your Majesty is sage, and his filial piety is unparalleled in the world, and he is an example for the world." Meng Zhiqian, Minister of the Ministry of War, took the lead in kneeling down to support the new emperor.

"Your Majesty's filial piety is unparalleled in the world!" The rest of the court officials answered the words one after another, knelt down and shouted in unison.

The palm print eunuch Zhou Yuxue hurriedly ordered the subordinates behind him: "Notify the historian quickly, and record this passage quickly. All the officials in the court will kneel down and praise your majesty for being unparalleled in filial piety and righteousness, as a model for the world."

Xu Youxi glanced indifferently at the kneeling kneeling crowd of civil and military officials.

Hey, who do you look down on? Do you think you can overwhelm me by talking about the Queen Mother and filial piety?
But having said that, since she can arrange big-bodied people to be spies in Wala, can the Wala people also buy officials to speak for them?
Xu Youxi calculated that after this matter was settled, some people would have to find a reason to be transferred.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

　Xie Xixi: All the officials are wolves, tigers and leopards. It's terrible. My family, Youxi, will be bullied.

　　The inner os of the ministers: Fuck, tell me who is the jackal!
　　Xu Youxi is brewing wolfberry tea: What are you looking at, how about health preservation, hum, I have great ambitions, and I will live for five hundred years!
