It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 36 Those who don’t know think you are the emperor

"Empress Dowager, do you mean that I can be the queen?" Cai Mingyi said excitedly.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but want to give herself a slap in the face. Could it be that she was really old? My vision has deteriorated so much, how could I choose one that is not as good as the other?

The Queen Mother didn't know whether to cover her mouth or her own brain.

"Empress Dowager, do you have a headache?" Cai Mingyi asked with concern.

In fact, apart from being brainless and unable to control her mouth, she doesn't have any major shortcomings. At least she is much stronger than Ruan Lian in terms of loyalty.

Aunt Rong took a few steps forward and whispered a few words into the Queen Mother's ear, who nodded with her eyes slightly closed.

What can she do if she doesn't support her? If she speaks out, she will throw water away. As a queen mother, it's hard for her to slap herself in the face.

"Mingyi, you have to be careful about your words and deeds in the harem. I just pretended that I didn't hear what I just said, and you didn't say it either. Moreover, you are not allowed to talk to anyone about what happened here today, even if your grandma asks. Don't say it, lest she worry," the Queen Mother couldn't help but tell her again and again.

Cai Mingyi smiled and promised, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I have the strictest mouth."

The Queen Mother had three words written all over her face: I don't believe it, but Cai Mingyi didn't notice it and was still chatting with the Queen Mother.

Your mouth is like that of an old cotton-waisted man. Who can believe you when you say you have the most severe words...

In order to prevent this person from being disadvantageous to her before she even started, the Queen Mother specially asked Nanny Rong to follow Cai Mingyi to ensure that every word she said was thought through.

On the other side, in the court hall, Jiang Simian also expressed his intention to patrol the southwest border, which aroused opposition from the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, think twice. The southwest border is a place of turmoil. Coupled with the severe drought this year, the people are very excited. If we visit privately incognito at this time, it is inevitable that some blind people will hurt your Majesty's dragon body. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that the donations from the southwest border have not been going too smoothly recently. Not only the common people, but also the wealthy businessmen have some complaints."

"The most troublesome thing is the group of scholars. They all talk nonsense, but the ideas they put forward are not practical at all. They all shout that our officials are protecting each other and suppressing them."

...

The ministers discussed one after another, trying to dispel Jiang Simian's idea of ​​going to the southwest frontier. They listed the miserable situation in the southwestern frontier one by one, saying that the southwestern frontier was like a hell on earth.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jiang Simian clapped his hands and stood up.

"I never expected that the situation in the southwest border would be like this now. This is when the people need me most. Needless to say, everyone, we should prepare for the inspection of the southwest border without delay."

The ministers were stunned for a moment, why couldn't the emperor just follow his own ideas?

"Your Majesty, think twice. It is too dangerous to pay a private visit incognito. I am afraid!"

Crash.

In an instant, he fell to his knees again.

Jiang Simian's face was speechless, but it was obvious that his knees were flexible.

"When did I say that I would pay a private visit incognito?"

After the words fell, all the ministers looked at each other in confusion. Indeed, the emperor never said the word "private visit incognito" from beginning to end.

But generally speaking, understanding people’s sentiments involves private interviews in private.

I don’t know which one opened his mouth and asked what was in his heart.

Jiang Simian smiled and said: "Everyone has misunderstood. Not only am I not doing a private visit incognito, but I am going to patrol the southwest border with great fanfare." Why is written all over the faces of everyone.

The emperor rolled his eyes and said, "No, no, no, they are all important ministers of the dynasty. You can't even think about such a trivial matter, right?!"

As soon as these words came out, even Academician Cai couldn't help but recite the words Jiang Simian had just said three times, carefully trying to figure out the deep meaning.

"Anyway, you will understand after I go to the southwest border, and I will solve all the things you are worried about by then."

The ministers prostrated themselves on the ground again, "Your Majesty, think twice!"

Jiang Simian smiled slightly and said, "Anyone who tries to persuade me to think twice will be killed before going on patrol."

"Your Majesty, three...uh!"

"Retreat!"

The ministers went back one by one with sad faces, but Jiang Simian was in a good mood and told Yuan Qifeng the good news.

"Don't say it, you're right, these guys can be really effective if they scare you once in a while."

Yuan Qifeng was lying on the imperial concubine's couch in Qianqing Palace, yawning and said, "If it weren't for the foundation I laid for you in the past two years, you would think that those people would compromise so easily."

"Yes, yes, who are you? You belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..." Jiang Simian patted the dragon's butt and fanned him, "Then please help me think about who I need to bring with me. By the way, let's take care of today." The discount has been approved..."

When Liu Xu came in, he saw his master fanning Jiang Changzai.

I originally thought that I was used to His Majesty acting like a dog-legger in front of Jiang Changzai, but when I saw Liu Xu, I still didn't look at him, and I felt heartbroken.

It was difficult for him to decide which one was better, the former one who was always ready to fight and kill, or the current one who was held in Jiang Changzai's hand.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Liu Xu coming in and staring at him without saying a word, Jiang Simian asked angrily, didn't you see that the person on the imperial concubine's bed was about to get angry? The eunuch was there, and he didn't have any eyesight.

"Oh, by the way, that's it, Your Majesty, that Concubine Ming is clamoring to see you," Liu Xu came back to his senses and said quickly.

"Ming Fei? Who is she?" Jiang Simian's mind went blank when he suddenly said it.

Liu Xu was speechless. Except for Jiang Changzai, you didn't remember anyone in the harem. He quickly said: "She is the granddaughter of Academician Cai. She was just drafted into the palace some time ago. You personally canonized the Ming Concubine."

"Oh~" Jiang Simian remembered, "I don't have time, I won't go."

Liu Xu's face was full of embarrassment, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ming has been making trouble in Deyang Palace all morning. Do you think you can..."

At this time, Yuan Qifeng, who was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, sat up and said angrily: "Did Eunuch Liu not understand your majesty's words, or did he accept concubine Ming's favor and speak for her like this? Your majesty has said so." If you don’t have time to go, just go and convey the message. Besides, does she think the emperor is a monkey performing on the street? She can meet him if he wants to, and if she wants to make trouble, just let her make trouble."

Liu Xu was very dissatisfied with Yuan Qifeng's sudden interruption. You said that you, a young Chang Zai, are still involved in the affairs of Concubine Ming. The Emperor hasn't spoken yet. You will be convicted of this. I don't know. I thought you were the emperor.

Behind Jiang Simian's back, he rolled his eyes at Yuan Qifeng, and then stared at Jiang Simian seriously, waiting for her to give him an order.

Unexpectedly, the latter looked at me with a confused look on his face, "Why are you looking at me like this? Didn't you understand what Jiang Changzai just said?!"
