After finalizing the agreement with Cao Wei about Cao Qian's mission to the Xisiluo regime, Li Jie left Xiangluan Pavilion first, leaving space for the Cao Wei brothers and sisters.
Cao Xiuyuan entered the palace at the age of fifteen. She was a talented person at first, and later became a beauty, Jieyu, Chongyuan. Although she is now a first-class Xiuyuan, it does not mean how favored she is.
Her promotion to Xiuyuan depends on her family background.
Cao Bin's daughter, this is enough for Song Zhenzong to treat her well.
Because she was not favored, Cao Xiuyuan had no children, but only adopted an adopted daughter.
If you think about it carefully, she and Cao Wei have not met in person for several years. It is reasonable for Li Jie to leave more space for their brother and sister.
After returning to Funing Hall, Li Jie immediately received a message from Baoci Hall.
The Queen Mother seemed to be in a bad mood today, and her lunch portion was only one-third of her usual size.
Li Jie could more or less guess why Liu E was in a bad mood.
If Li Jie had not intervened, Liu E's current situation would not be so difficult.
There are powerful officials outside, but there are vigorous officials inside, and internal and external troubles are nothing more than this.
At noon, the chamberlain of Baoci Palace sent yesterday's papers to Funing Palace. Li Jie casually flipped through a few copies and ignored them.
Nothing new!
In addition to daily government affairs, most of these notes are about discussing tea methods.
Among them, the most outrageous one was written by Li Ziang from Zhihuzhou. In this letter, he reported that holy rice grew in the lake fields in Suzhou and Xiuzhou, which helped a large number of hungry people.
It's really the same name as his father, which is outrageous.
Li Ziang is Li Pu's eldest son. Li Pu is Ding Wei's best friend and is also related to Lin Te by marriage.
I don't know whether it was because Li Ziang had been away from Beijing for a long time, because he didn't know about the changes in Beijing, or because he had ulterior motives, but he actually caused another auspicious act.
If Song Zhenzong was still alive, he might give Li Ziang some rewards.
After all, this is holy rice and a sign of good luck!
Song Zhenzong's favorite thing was auspiciousness.
In fact, everyone who understands the auspicious thing knows that it is fake. Song Zhenzong also knows that it is fake. You know that it is fake. I know that you know that it is fake.
But that's not critical.
The key is that "auspiciousness" is real!
It is true that destiny is mine. First update@
The enshrinement of the Book of Heaven is nothing more than a farce of self-comfort and self-hypnosis. It is the emperor's new clothes.
It is not the emperor who suffers, nor the ministers who are all dressed in red and purple. It is only the common people who suffer.
Unfortunately, no matter what Li Ziang had in mind, his plan was destined to fail.
Not only Li Jie didn't believe in auspiciousness, but Liu E didn't believe in these things either.
This can actually be seen from Liu E's actions.
If Liu E really believed in auspiciousness, she would not agree to Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian's proposal to bury the Book of Heaven in Zhenzong's imperial mausoleum.
Of course, Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian's suggestions were also very stupid. The reason they proposed to be buried with the late emperor was that the Book of Heaven was a gift from heaven and belonged exclusively to the late emperor. Things in heaven should not be left on earth.
Language is indeed a meaning. The same meaning, if expressed in a different way, may lead to completely different results.
Bao Ci Hall.
After listening to Lin's report, Liu E's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Ever since the late emperor ascended to immortality, the officials had never given her any peace of mind.
It’s enough to summon Cao Wei back to the capital, but now he wants to send Cao Wei’s son Cao Qian as an envoy?
What exactly do the officials want to do?
Aren't you afraid of causing revenge from the Xia people?
The relationship between Zusiluo and the Xia people has never been very good. The two sides have attacked each other. In the past, the court's attitude was to let it go and not help each other.
As far as this dynasty is concerned, no matter whether they are Gusiluo or Xia people, they are all barbarians.
Two barbarians attacking each other was completely a good thing for the court.
Wouldn't it be nice to sit on a mountain and watch a tiger fight?
At this time, if the imperial court goes to the side and fights against each other, the northwest, which has been peaceful for a long time, is likely to start fighting again.
In fact, this is not what makes Liu E most angry.
What really made her angry was that the officials didn't discuss it with her in advance and just bypassed it. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 68: Face-to-face questioning
He made the final decision on such important military matters as her.
call!
suck!
call!
suck!
Liu E took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down the turbulent emotions in her chest.
"Put it in the Funing Palace."
With an order, the entire Baoci Palace immediately started to move. Traveling between the emperor and the empress, even within the palace, was not an easy task.
Not long after, Li Jie received news that Liu E was coming.
The little chamberlain who came to deliver the message this time was very interesting. He quietly warned him and told Li Jie that the Queen Mother was probably here to question him.
Of course, what the little chamberlain said was very tactful, not as straightforward as the translation.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu E arrived at Funing Hall.
"Goodbye, Madam."
On normal days, Liu E might have smiled and accepted Li Jie's greetings, but today, she didn't have that leisurely attitude.
After entering the palace, Liu E spoke bluntly as soon as he sat down.
"Guan Jia, did you issue a decree today, ordering Cao Qian, the son of General Cao, to go as an envoy?"
"That's right."
Regarding this matter, Li Jie had no intention of hiding it from Liu E, because he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
Zunsiluo is not a fool. If Cao Qian didn't bring something with her, how could Zunsiluo believe it based on Cao Qian's white teeth?
Therefore, the central purpose is a must.
Li Jie not only issued a decree, but also specially retrieved a batch of valuable items from the inner treasury, such as rhinoceros horns, fragrant medicine and other items.
After all, we can’t let Cao Qian come in empty-handed, right?
It's only natural to bring some reward items.
There was a decree in the past, and supplies in the internal treasury were used in the later. Liu E's eyeliner spread all over the palace. How could she not know about such a big movement?
"Does the official know what consequences this matter will have?"
"Have the officials considered whether Cao Qian can take on this important task?"
"Have the officials ever thought about me and the late emperor?"
Liu E's rising and falling chest was enough to prove how angry she was now.
"Madam, please be patient."
Li Jie acted very calmly and replied without changing his expression.
However, the calmer he appeared, the angrier Liu E became.
How long has it been and the officials still haven’t realized their mistake?
In an instant, Liu E remembered the advice her ex-husband Liu Mei had given her.
It may be a good choice to adopt King Jing's son Yunchu into the palace. First update@
In Liu E's view, the current attitude of the officials is very problematic!
If the late emperor had not only had such a prince, the official family would certainly not have acted so recklessly!
Thinking of this, Liu E suddenly felt a sad emotion in her heart.
If he had a son, how could the throne fall into the hands of others?
If he had a son, how could he be bullied like this?
Yes, in Liu E's eyes, Li Jie despised and bullied her by doing this.
