Chapter 1091 The Empress Dowager's Fury

Whether the empress dowager summoned Liang Gong Shen Weizhou to go south to quell the chaos not only made the officials of the foreign court deeply entangled, but even the emperor was puzzled by the empress dowager's approach.

"Currently the turmoil in Jinai is not as severe as in previous years, but it is still in jeopardy. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to have a strong minister and a good assistant. Why does the mother only call her brother-in-law instead of her brother-in-law? In previous years, my brother-in-law could be lonely The few people are trying their best to turn the tide, not to mention if he crosses the river and enters the capital now, who else would dare to make noise?"

In the hall in the garden, after the initial panic faded, the emperor gradually recovered some thinking ability, and his words were not lacking in order. It can be seen that the past few years were not in vain, at least he had really thought about this internal problem. And get something.

The empress dowager returned to her graceful posture at this moment, and after hearing the emperor's question, she also showed a little appreciation on her face: "Evil things happen frequently, and people's hearts are turbulent. Emperor, you can still be determined and think carefully. , it can be seen that the age is not in vain. But you still think too superficially about this matter."

"The current disturbances in Ji Nei, one is the disturbance in Qiangliang in Jinji, and all the important officials are affected. The other is the disturbance in Langya Township, and the crowd is raging. Although these two things seem to be troublesome, but the root cause is far from being discussed. Serious trouble. Maybe there is a strong person with evil intentions, who deceives my mother and son to live in the palace and not communicate with outsiders, because of this harsh attitude to fulfill their selfish desires."

The empress dowager has been in court for many years, and she is not completely out of wit. Although she was panicked by the sudden change and the shadow in her heart, after she calmed down, she gradually came to her own judgment on the situation: "Your brother-in-law is sincere. You are the pillar of the country, Shi Xiongchen, the emperor, you have such a strong assistant, it can be said that you are very lucky, if the former emperor had this... ah!"

Thinking about the old affairs of the former emperor, the empress dowager couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and when she calmed down a little, she continued to teach the emperor: "Because your brother-in-law is an important weapon in the country, so you must use it properly, and don't act rashly." Scabies is treated with medicine for tigers and wolves. Even if the medicine cures the disease, it will probably not make up for it. Emperor, you still remember that there is still Weizhou in Jiangbei, don’t those internal and external ministers not know? I only call your uncle now, and then It's a slow medicine, and the officials outside the palace have a little bit of talent, so they should use this as a warning to stop the chaos as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the emperor had a somewhat enlightened expression on his face, but another question arose in his mind, if the chaos can really be resolved quickly, why bother to recall the uncle?

Although both he and the empress dowager had experienced the Su Jun Rebellion, even though the emperor was not as profound as the empress dowager due to his age, at that time he had personally experienced the fear of being monitored by rebellious soldiers. Much more vigilant than the empress dowager.

But the emperor was still hesitating whether he should continue to ask questions, and the servants outside the palace came to report that it was Yu Bing who had come to see him, so the emperor could only suppress his doubts.

Soon, Yu Bing hurried to the hall to worship.

"At times like this, don't be too polite. Now that Zhigong has arrived in the capital, how is his army going? Do you have the confidence and strategy to quickly settle the chaos?"

The Empress Dowager raised her hand to signal Yu Bing to enter the table, and then asked.Although her words were not lacking in certainty when teaching the emperor, in fact, she was very worried about how the situation would go.

When Yu Bing heard that the Empress Dowager seemed to be still expecting their brothers to resolve the chaos in Langya Township, and thought of Yu Yi's thoughts, Yu Bing couldn't help sighing in his heart, and then said: "Zhi Gong has also been cherished for a long time to serve his heart, and he is vigilant day and night. , because I set off immediately after receiving the order, and the march was relatively smooth..."

"I don't need to say more about these empty words. My family has been honored by the country for a long time. Isn't this the right thing to do? Tell me, do you have the confidence to put down the chaos in Langya Township as soon as possible? , but look inside and out, you should also work hard yourself.”

Facing her own brothers, the Empress Dowager naturally lost a lot of needless concealment, interrupted Yu Bing's words with a wave of her hand, and continued to ask.

After hearing the words, Yu Bing's face became bitter again: "This is exactly where the disease is. Although Liyang is close to the capital, it can be reached by boat every day and night, but the water is exhausted and the wind is strong, so the march can only be done safely by land. Childish Gong I don't know the details of the changes in the capital, and it is inevitable that the preparations will not be thorough under the rush. First, we will march with a small number of people. Right now, the soldiers are weak and need to rest for a while. At the same time, we will wait for the successors. Moreover, after Liyang has been transferred to the inner town , the allocation of money and food is becoming increasingly scarce, and at the moment there is also a shortage of everything, it is really not suitable to fight in a hurry..."

What kind of results their brothers can achieve in Kinai now, the most important thing right now is the support from the empress dowager.Only when the initial stability is established, with the development of the situation, the oppression brought by the Jingzhou side to the Taiwan assistants will gradually become prominent.

Therefore, even though the two brothers had decided not to directly participate in the battle, they did not dare to explicitly reject the Empress Dowager and disobey her intentions, so Yu Bing thought for a long time on the way home and came up with some excuses to delay temporarily.

Hearing what Yu Bing said, the Empress Dowager was greatly disappointed.When the news of the chaos in Langya Township came, she was indeed terrified, but after she calmed down, she was full of anticipation and joy, thinking that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the trend and completely cut off the Wang family.

You must know that the Langya Wang family is a thorn in her heart, even the dead Wang Dao Ai Rong is unwilling to give it.He was dragged down by force before, and has been shaken by the frequent persuasion of the Taiwan assistants. At this time, the children of the Wang family committed suicide by themselves, which made the empress dowager see the possibility of avenging the late emperor!

She has been in the court for a long time, and she naturally knows the atmosphere of the current court situation. Although the Taiwan assistants are happy to help her suppress the Wang family, if they really want to kill the entire Langya Wang family, these people will definitely shirk and refuse to carry out.

Outsiders might think that she forcibly summoned Yu Yi because of her fear, but in fact she wanted to use her own brothers to completely kill the Wang family.

Of course, there are rumors in the current situation that the Langya Wang family and Yu Yiyin have an affair, but this is also a kind of slander in the eyes of the empress dowager. You must know that Wang Yunzhi, who gathered the villagers to make trouble, has a feud with the Yu family who killed his father. .How can the two parties reach a consensus when they judge others by themselves?

Over the years, the empress dowager had seen some tricks and tricks that could not be put on the table, and she was convinced that this was just another plot by the ministers to prevent her from using her mother's family.But now, how could she be easily manipulated by others.

But after hearing Yu Bing's many statements that she could not go to war, the empress dowager felt extremely dissatisfied in her heart, and opened her mouth to scold, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that the emperor who was still in the palace wanted to save some of the elders for Yu Bing Decent, so she let the emperor leave first.

After the emperor left the palace, the empress dowager's expression sank suddenly, and she pointed at Yu Bing and said, "I don't have to hide my family's secrets now. Ji Jian, you have been living here in recent years, and I often see you. Usually, you often state your words in front of me because you only have the ambition to serve the country and cannot be used by the king's order, and the court grows together, don't I know what you are thinking?"

"Perhaps you also blame me in your heart for only respecting in-laws and not family members these years, but did I not trust my mother's family in the past years, and how will my brothers repay me? I don't care about my safety, honor or disgrace, and the society is in danger of collapse in my family Hand, the great evil has been exposed at that time, and I can't rest in peace until I die. If I continue to force my brothers in regardless of the current situation, how is this different from the evil woman who ruined the ancestral property of the country?"

Hearing the Empress Dowager's tone becoming more and more stern, Yu Bing also had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He really didn't expect the Empress Dowager's reaction to be so intense.

He was about to open his mouth to say a few words, but soon the voice of the empress dowager came to his ears again: "People are not grass and trees, how can we disregard human relations and family affection? So when I see the opportunity, I also want to arrange for my family to use , accumulating Bo Xun to make up for the old mistakes of the family. For this reason, even disregarding Taiwan's situation and disturbance, privately summoning people, but you said I can't fight?"

"Liyang is exhausted, and he speaks out as soon as he opens his mouth. Then tell me, what did Zhigong do in Liyang all these years? What face does he have to say that he has a heart to serve you for a long time? It's completely useless, why should I want his heart?"

The empress dowager's face became even more livid when she said this: "Even if the current situation is in danger, can it be worse than the old disaster? Back then, my virtuous son-in-law, Wei Zhou, used so little effort to settle the chaos, but now you want to tell me Incompetent to fight? If you can’t fight, what is the purpose of crossing the river childishly? Why do all the virtuous and good people come from other families? Then Ji Jian came to tell me, what right do you have to harbor injustice?”

When Yu Bing heard the empress dowager's harsh reprimand, he was already sweating profusely for a while, and he couldn't speak more, so he could only bow his head again and again, saying that he must urge Yu Yi to fight Langya as soon as possible, and deal with the present first.

Hearing Yu Bing's statement, the Empress Dowager turned pale, and also felt that the words were a bit serious, ordered Yu Bing to be included in the banquet, and then sighed: "I have such a severe attitude, so I am trapped in the old evil of the elder brother. If all my brothers were talented and advanced, I would not be so ill. For example, if the victory in the Central Plains could be achieved in my family in the past, I would be able to look up to my ancestors in Jin Zuo and be worthy of the world. I will entrust my family with all state affairs without hesitation."

The Empress Dowager consciously softened her tone, but Yu Bing still felt harsh in her ears. This was like saying that their brothers were not worthy of carrying shoes for her virtuous son-in-law Shen Weizhou, and they had no ability to develop.

After pondering for a while, Yu Bing let out a long sigh and said: "I am also really talented and cowardly, I have failed my sister's intimacy and trust, but when it comes to serving the country and repaying sins, I am not inferior to others. The reason why this time is short and difficult , so it’s not because of a conspiracy. Zhigong came from afar and had no place to stay, so he could only borrow Shen Sikong’s other business temporarily. Hunger, nothing to eat..."

When the empress dowager heard this, she also frowned: "The Shen family is so rich, how could it be less than useful?" She didn't think there was anything wrong with Yu Yi occupying the other business of the Shen family, after all, it was for When it comes to state affairs, borrowing is also borrowing.

Finally bringing the topic to this point, Yu Bing naturally stopped working hard, not only talking about food shortages, but also exaggerating the layout of the strong fortress of Shen's Bieye, implying that Shen Chong is running such a place in Kinki, There must be no kindness.

The empress dowager had long been dissatisfied with Shen Chong for the so-called destruction of bones. When she heard Yu Bing say this, the disgust on her face became more obvious.

However, many of the grievances accumulated before have almost been vented on Yu Bing. At the moment, the emotions are not very intense, but he just looked at Yu Bingyu and said earnestly: "Don't talk about people's faults, and don't look at your own faults. Wei Zhou and he Although he was born in a humble family, he is able to forge ahead and become a virtuous minister of the country, which is praised all over the world. From others to ourselves, although there is an older brother in my family who took the lead in the past, but as long as the brothers continue to work hard, they may not be able to make good in the coming year!"

Seeing that the topic fell back on himself, Yu Bing also felt embarrassed, and hurriedly nodded, thinking about how to deal with such a strong urging from the empress dowager.
