After the court meeting the next day, Li Si and others took Ying Wu to the Sihai Palace.
Seeing Ying Wu come in and salute tremblingly, I suppressed the anger in my heart and stepped forward to help Ying Wu sit down: "Zong Zheng is not in good health, why are you here today."
Ying Wu obviously couldn't bear it, but he still bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have something to say to Your Majesty."
I gave Li Si and others a cold look and didn't let them sit down.
No matter what they thought, I forced out a smile and said, "Zongzheng just sends someone with a message."
Ying Wu's condition was no longer very good. After taking a few deep breaths, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame them. It's the old minister who insisted on coming."
I said helplessly: "You guys, sit down."
The four people quickly thanked them, sat down and straightened their bodies, not daring to breathe.
"If Zongzheng has anything to say, just say it. I'm listening."
Ying Wu nodded slightly, his gray eyebrows twitching slightly: "Old minister, I beg your Majesty not to make Taoyao your queen!"
I didn’t want Ying Wu to die excitedly in the Sihai Palace, so I said softly: “Why? Apart from being a merchant, how can Taoyao be inferior to those so-called Jade Leaves and Golden Branches?”
Ying Wu shook his head, took a breath, and said seriously: "I still say what I said, I have no objection to your majesty marrying Taoyao. But the queen's dignity is equal to that of the emperor, worshiping heaven and earth, Qicheng ancestral temple, mother is in the world. If a businessman For the sake of the future, the people of the world will give priority to business and neglect agriculture! Moreover, there are also Ying clan members. If His Majesty comes out to speak out, I am afraid that the clan will imitate him. Where is the majesty of the royal family? How many people will be eager to be rich and powerful? Has Your Majesty ever considered it? Too much to shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty?"
"I know that Your Majesty values commerce. However, the Shang Lord's laws are extremely strict in favoring agriculture and suppressing commerce. However, most of the laws only restrict merchants from obtaining excessive status and reputation, rather than completely banning merchants from trading. Since Your Majesty has frequent contacts with Taoyao, Secret, don’t you know that Ba Widow Qing and Wushi Luo were reused during the emperor’s reign? The low status of merchants does not conflict with the prosperity of commerce."
I remained silent for a long time without answering, and then I said harshly: "Taoyao is willing to dedicate all his wealth to the court, isn't that enough to set an example for the world?"
Ying Wu sighed and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty, if the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly; if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished. Has Your Majesty forgotten the teachings of Confucianism? The fate of many people is determined from birth, and it cannot be changed by the day after tomorrow. .”
I understood the meaning of Ying Wu's words. Taoyao's fate was already determined, and my fate could not be changed by being an emperor. I murmured, "Princes, generals, and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?"
Ying Wu didn't hear clearly: "What did your Majesty say?"
I shook my head: "Nothing. Who does Zongzheng think I should make as my queen?"
Ying Wu's eyebrows relaxed slightly: "I have no intention of making a decision for your majesty. I just hope that your majesty can carefully consider my words. I only hope that I can have an explanation with all the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty."
What I said today was to persuade me not to make Tao Yao my queen, but what I said last time was to persuade me to choose Li Shiyun as my queen.
I sighed, stood up and said, "I understand, don't worry Zongzheng, I will consider it carefully. Meng He, send Zongzheng back home."
Ying Wu hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn't bear to say anything more. He was also young...
After Ying Wu left, I lay directly on the couch, feeling weak all over.
"Being an emperor is so tiring."
When Li Si and others heard this, they immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt."
I didn't get up, and I was too lazy to say anything else.
Li Si carefully explained: "After your Majesty spoke to me yesterday, I was frightened for a moment and wanted to ask Zong Zheng for advice. I never thought that Zong Zheng was extremely concerned about your majesty and insisted on coming to see him in person. I couldn't stop him..."
After not hearing my reply for a long time, Li Si lowered his head and looked at each other, then carefully looked up at the couch, and was shocked when he heard heavy breathing coming from the couch.
Qiwan stepped forward carefully and whispered: "Your Majesty is asleep, how about some adults..."
Several people quickly bowed respectfully and stepped back lightly.
Outside the hall, Li Si glanced at a few people and sighed helplessly: "I'm afraid a few of us..."
He hesitated to speak, but Feng Jie and others understood what he meant. After all, they were on the opposite side of me, so they could only comfort themselves by thinking that Da Qin was considering it.
I slept until the palace lantern came on, and I was still a little tired when I woke up.
"Qi Wan, why did I fall asleep? What time is it now? Where are Li Si and the others?"
Qi Wan hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is too tired. Li Xiang and others have already retreated. It is the end of Youshi now."
I haven't had a good night's sleep since Mao Dun appeared. She slowly stood up with her hands on the bed, and Qiwan immediately took two steps to help me stand up.
After taking a sip of tea, my head became clearer. Thinking of Ying Wu's words, I shook my head again and felt heavy.
"Qi Wan, prepare the car, I want to leave the palace."
Not long after, the car arrived at Basi Terrace. I got out of the car and looked at the familiar gate in front of me. It was inside that I promised Tao Yao that I would make her the queen.
The boy at the door recognized me and hurriedly went in to report.
"No need to report it, I was just passing by." I really didn't know how to say it.
He turned around and got on the carriage: "Go back."
Sleepless night.
The next day, Meng He reported and Ying Lan asked to see him.
My voice was slightly hoarse, and I forced a smile and said, "Why are you here?"
Ying Lan looked at my expression and said distressedly: "Your Majesty looks tired, but you should pay attention to rest."
I waved my hand: "It's okay, there are just some things that are difficult to deal with."
I suddenly woke up and vaguely guessed something: "Did Taoyao ask you to come?"
Sure enough, Ying Lan nodded, took out a silk letter from her sleeve and presented it to me: "Sister Taoyao said that there is a letter she entrusted me to present to Your Majesty."
It seemed that the boy told her. I secretly regretted it and shouldn't have gone.
Opening the silk book, there is Tao Yaojuan's beautiful handwriting on it, and there is only one poem that has been "modified" by the devil:
Recipe, Shining. You are Fusu, and you are dragging the plants.
The peach blossoms are strong in the heart. The king's worries are the concubine's worries.
Leizu's position is not worthy of regret, and he will return with Liu Tongxin.
I held the silk book in my hand tightly and murmured in my mouth: "Lei Zu's position is not something to be cherished...but how many people are pushing me for this Lei Zu's position!"
Ying Lan noticed that my mood was wrong and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is about Sister Taoyao..."
I nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "I will send you a letter in reply, and you can give it to Taoyao for me."
Ying Lan nodded, not knowing what to say, it's a royal matter...
I picked up my pen and wrote the same poem about magic modification:
There are fusu trees on the mountain, trailing their plants. I am a peach blossom, and I am here for a short time.
There are Fusu on the mountain, which is full of crowns. Your support is where I am.
I am worried about the position of the emperor, and I am worried about the heart of the willow.
