On this day, Yan Muan supervised the early training of Yong and Xu, and was summoned into the palace by the emperor's people. The emperor had already learned about the rumors outside, and learned from Yongchang that it was Yan Muan's handiwork, so he decided to do it himself Meet her.
"What do you think?"
The emperor asked these four words as soon as he saw Yan Mu'an. Yan Mu'an raised his eyebrows and said, "You have no mouth. Will you die if you tell everything?" 】
The corner of the emperor's lips twitched slightly, "I heard that those rumors in the city are your handiwork?"
Only then did Yan Muan understand, "It's me. I thought that since the Emperor has taken action against Prince Laoping and others, he would naturally want everyone to know about it. If there is no explanation and only the courtiers know, this will be a royal scandal in the hearts of the people. But when the matter is revealed, another way of saying it is that the emperor seeks justice for the people. Although this justice comes a little late, it is enough to arouse the people's indignation and let them know that the emperor is thinking about them."
"I once heard about the previous dynasty. The court was unpopular with the people. When the rebels attacked, the people opened the city gates themselves. I also heard that the people took it upon themselves to defend their homes and country. When faced with the iron hoof of foreign enemies, the whole people joined forces. Even the old man Weak women and children also know how to drive those people out, which shows that the hearts of these people are very important."
"If the emperor wants to change the current situation in Southern Qi, he should have it."
As she talked, she found a place for herself and sat down. Anyway, she was now in a cooperative relationship with the prince, and with interests tied up, she naturally became a lot more courageous.
The emperor didn't care about these little details. He naturally knew that people's support was important and he had been working hard for it over the years. However, people's support was rare, so it was good enough not to be scolded.
"Is this it?"
Yan Mu'an smiled and said: "You can't expect to become a fat baby in one bite if you take it step by step."
"First let the people know that the emperor is thinking about them, and then proceed to introduce a series of things that are beneficial to the people, such as relaxing political orders to some extent, such as strict officials bullying the people, etc. The fund-raising for Zhaojue Temple started two years ago. Once some effects are achieved, things will definitely get better in the long run. The premise is that the emperor should let the people know what he has done and what decrees he has issued."
"If the emperor has thought hard for a long time and came up with a clever plan, thinking that if the silk removal is carried out, the people will definitely benefit and the court will be better, but the adults below are not angry, and the people don't know, or what the people know is not what the emperor thinks. It’s two different things, isn’t it just like beating a chicken to a flying egg and causing a whole body of coquettishness?”
The emperor felt that what she said was so right, that was it, it spoke to his heart! ! !
He thought very hard and forgot to eat and sleep. He thought he had come up with a wonderful plan to change Southern Qi, but when he said it, the courtiers either shouted "No, no, no," or they acted against him. He was so angry that he wanted to kill everyone. It's a pity that it can't be done. Otherwise, if he were born to the same parents, why would he look like this, so battered and tortured?
Yan Mu'an continued: "If someone could spread this news among the people as soon as possible, wouldn't the people know about it? It is not impossible to use the people to force the officials when they have to, and it can also make the people appreciate the emperor's kindness. .”
The emperor's eyes were bright. He looked at Yan Mu'an as if he were looking at some treasure. Yan Mu'an immediately raised alarm bells, "What kind of look is this from the Dog Emperor? Does he want to break through the moral bottom line?" 】
emperor
Just now he thought Yan Muan was very good, but it must be an illusion!
"This matter was done well, but from now on, you should stop taking care of this matter. I will arrange for someone to do it."
His reputation must be in his own hands. If he ever offends the Yan family, wouldn't it be worse for her to have others spread rumors and ruin her reputation?
Yan Muan couldn't wait to do it, after all, she had to pay for it herself.
"What happened to Yongxu and the other three?"
Yan Mu'an said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Before Tiansheng's people come, I will give you three different princes."
Seeing that she was so confident, the emperor made a strange choice to believe her, "I have learned about your proposal and decided to adopt it. Uncle Chengyi will come to the palace in the afternoon. You will come out to talk to him in person. I hope that he can serve me wholeheartedly and do everything for me in the future." Tell me the things you want to say but can't, and win over the people I want to win over."
"You can do it, right?"
Yan Muan.
[Suddenly I feel like a thug. 】
"It can be done, but Your Majesty, seeing that I am so diligent, if the court outside wants to impeach me for interfering in court affairs at will, you must support me."
"I won't treat you badly."
Yan's behavior made him know one thing: people should be given benefits when doing things, even if he is the emperor.
Yan Mu'an stood up with a smile and went to the harem to see the queen. At this moment, the queen was talking to a beautiful woman in front of her. Her words were somewhat harsh, "I told you to eat more. The emperor likes pink. Why do you wear so simple clothes? I Why don’t you wear the clothes the palace ordered to give you?”
"Although you are beautiful, your skin is not smooth enough. Do you insist on taking the flower petal bath every day?"
"How are you doing with your piano skills and poetry?"
When he said this, he gave Yan Mu'an a look that said she was just sitting there. Yan Mu'an found it very interesting. The queen personally trained beauties to serve the emperor. It can be seen that the emperor really did not like the queen at all.
His eyes fell on the beauty. Not to mention the emperor, even she felt a little tasteless. She was beautiful, but her expression was shrinking and she had no temperament. It was really not good.
He spoke in a small voice, "I forgive you, I am afraid."
[The queen is not a good person. She doesn’t want to serve the emperor but wants me to go. I can’t do that. 】
Yan Muan's eyes lit up, so was this intentional?
Do you also dislike the emperor, or do you feel that you belong to someone else?
"Since you are scared, you must be obedient. Will I still harm you?"
The queen took a deep breath and said, "If you can win the favor of the emperor, your parents and brothers will rise to great heights because of it. You should also consider them."
[I want to consider it, but I can't take it. The emperor has bad breath. It stinks. 】
Yan Muan lowered his head, fearing that he would laugh. Does the emperor know that he has bad breath?
How angry is it?
Do you want to tactfully remind him to see the imperial doctor and stop the fire?
The queen waved her hand to make the beauty retreat, and said helplessly to Yan Mu'an, "You see, it's not easy for me."
Yan Mu'an smiled and said: "A girl from outside the palace must be scared when she sees the emperor. Instead of spending time on her, my sister-in-law should ask the imperial doctor to take care of the emperor's spleen and stomach. I just saw the emperor, and his face was glowing." , I think my spleen and stomach are not very good. When your body is good, your mood will naturally be good. When your mood is good, you will want to come to the harem."
The queen thought it made sense, and said that the imperial doctor had to go to the emperor every day to ask for Ping'an's pulse, but he prescribed medicine, but it didn't work.
"Is it possible that the emperor did not take the medicine?"
Yan Mu'an felt that even if the medical technology of this era was not very advanced, it would not be impossible to cure a spleen deficiency.
