Chapter 821 Embarrassed(1/2)
Emperor Xiao Chengwen explained patiently.
He told the queen that there must be risks when summoning Shi Wen to the North Korea. But this risk must be less than the risk when summoning Yan Yunge to the North Korea.
They all have risks, so naturally they choose the one with the lower risk.
and……
"I'm still worried that Yan Yunge will fight with Ling Changzhi."
Queen Yan Yunqi rubbed her eyebrows.
She never trusted Shi Wen or Ling Changzhi.
She said bluntly: "I need someone around me who is worthy of my trust, otherwise I will be unable to sleep or eat, and I may even be worried about the safety of the emperor. Your Majesty, can you make more arrangements, okay?"
"I have summoned Lord Cui Zhi and Cui into the court, and he will restrain Ling Changzhi and Shi Wen, how about it?"
"Very good! Lord Cui Zhi and Cui are senior officials of the court, and the Cui family is also trustworthy. However, since Lord Cui is summoned to the court, can Shi Wen give up?"
Emperor Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and thought deeply.
Queen Yan Yunqi said anxiously: "Is Your Majesty worried that Lord Cui will not be able to balance Ling Changzhi?"
He did not nod and admitted, but did not deny it.
Lord Cui is a veteran of the imperial court and has a high prestige, but it does not mean that he can suppress Ling Changzhi.
Ling Changzhi held heavy troops and had the support of several top families behind him.
Something is a bit troublesome!
"I think about it again."
...
"I think about it carefully. Your Majesty sent two orders to summon me to the court. This is very abnormal. Although, because of the incident of Prince Bushan, Your Majesty had revealed good intentions before, but he didn't expect that he would grant this title to the Grand Tutor. It's strange!"
Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, felt uneasy.
He was worried that entering the court would be a Hongmen banquet.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen has been acting strangely in the past two years and is elusive in his opinion.
It is hard to guarantee whether it was because the three princes had solved the problem and had the intention of solving the local powerful ministers.
He summoned the man to the court, cut off his wings, and ambushed his sword and axe. Once the time comes, he would throw the cup as a digit and take his life.
Yan Yunfei called him in a bad tone, "Are the Marquis afraid of death?"
"Who isn't afraid of death? Are you not afraid of death?"
Pingwu Hou Shi was warm and his beard shook three times.
Yan Yunfei said bluntly: "Since the marquis is afraid of death and be careful that the emperor is uneasy, then you can resign again. Anyway, the emperor cannot send someone to escort you to Jianzhou as an official."
Shi Wen snorted twice, and he suddenly asked, "If this marquis went to Jianzhou to be an official, would you be willing to go with him?"
Yan Yunfei shook her head repeatedly and refused firmly.
"When the Marquis was the prime minister in the capital, I never came to the capital to accompany him. This time, I will still not follow you to Jianzhou City."
"Why? The queen is in Jianzhou, and most of your illegitimate sisters are married in Jianzhou. If you follow me to Jianzhou, you can meet the Yan sisters from time to time."
"It is precisely because the queen is in Jianzhou that I refuse to go."
Yan Yunfei looked serious.
She said seriously: "I don't make sure what will happen in the future. If you are in harmony with Your Majesty, the king and the ministers, that's all.
If the ruler and his subjects are not in harmony, or even offend the heavenly face, what do you ask me to do? Go to the palace to plead with mercy? It is difficult for the Empress to be caught in the middle?
In short, if you go to the court to be an official, if I follow you, you will inevitably be involved in the harem. This is a very dangerous thing.
In recent years, Yun Ge's sister has broken up and reunited with the court, fighting and killing, and has never involved the queen, just to avoid making it difficult for the queen to be a human being.
I am the same! As the eldest sister, I don’t have the heart to make it difficult for the queen to be a human being. So, you don’t have to expect me to follow you to Jianzhou City.”
"In this way, in your mind, the queen is more important than this marquis."
"absurd!"
Yan Yunfei immediately refuted.
"If the Empress is stuck in the middle and is difficult to be a human being, the unlucky person in the end will not be the Empress, but you and me, the Shi family. My sisterly relationship with the Empress cannot withstand the use of pleading again and again. I hope this sisterly relationship can be used to save my life at critical moments, not to wipe your butt."
Her words were direct and even a little vulgar, but she also revealed the truth.
Even the sisters of a mother cannot withstand years of tossing and trouble.
If you don’t want to destroy this friendship, then keep the bottom line and grasp the right position.
Shi Wen was not satisfied and unwilling to accept it.
He asked again: "If this marquis commits a crime, do you just sit back and see? You are so cruel."
"The affairs of the court are naturally solved by the rules of the court. If you have the courage to raise trouble, you must have the ability to calm things down. If you can't calm the conflict, don't rush to the front to raise trouble."
"After all, you just refuse to help me. It's said that a good wife is a good wife, who are you? You are determined to save your life. Are you looking forward to my death?"
"If you keep going like this, it will be a matter of time before death."
Yan Yunfei did not hide her any concealment and directly retorted.
Shi Wen was so angry that her cheeks were tilted.
This girl is so vicious that she refuses to look forward to his good fortune?
Every time I die, I die.
How afraid of death is she?
Yan Yunfei rubbed her eyebrows, she was indeed afraid of death.
The child has not grown up yet and still needs the care and education of his parents. She dare not die!
If you are free from worries, you will die!
She will die more happily than anyone else!
Shi Wen stroked his beard, and his beard was well maintained and looked particularly stylish.
"According to your wishes, should this marquis refuse the emperor's summons and refuse to enter the court to become an official?"
"You can go if you want to. Actually, I guess, it may not be a bad thing for the emperor to call you into the court this time."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Yan Yunfei thought about it for a while and asked back: "How many years have Ling Changzhi left?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Wen's eyes lit up instantly.
"What do you mean is that the emperor sneakily summoned Ling Changzhi to return to the court, fearing that no one could suppress him, so he summoned this marquis to the court to suppress Ling Changzhi?"
"Is there any possibility?"
"It's so possible!"
With a snap, Shi Wen slapped his thigh violently and made a sound.
He didn't bother with pain.
He walked around the room, thinking about the pros and cons of the matter.
He kept saying, "That boy Ling Changzhi has led his troops for several years, and it is no longer the same as before. If the emperor really asked him to return to the court, he would definitely cause storms in the court as soon as he came back, and it would be difficult to control it.
The emperor must win over the hearts of the people, and cannot cross the river and destroy bridges or kill meritorious officials. However, Ling Changzhi was young and strong, and he was far from the time to retire. Now, the emperor was indeed embarrassed.
The emperor could not always let him lead troops outside, for fear that he would become the emperor of the southern territory and would be even more difficult to control. It is appropriate to let him return to the court. The court needs a force to check and balance him, and it is my marquis.
Hahaha... The emperor is indeed as wise as a torch. In order to repay the emperor's long grace and Jianzhou City, I really have to go there."
Yan Yunfei shook her head secretly, she was burying into the vortex of power and could not get out.
She did not object to his trip to Jianzhou.
Just remind him not to underestimate the enemy.
Don’t end up, your reputation for being a lifetime was destroyed in the hands of Ling Changzhi.
Shi Wen snorted, "Just kidding! My marquis ate more salt than Ling Changzhi's meals. Don't attack me."
Yan Yunfei rolled her eyes secretly, "So, will you accept Your Majesty's imperial edict next? Or will you continue to resign and wait for the next imperial edict to give up?"
"In order to avoid the night is long and the dreams are too many, we will naturally accept it."
Shi Wen was very decisive, so he didn't play the trick of asking for three words.
Be careful to shoot yourself in the foot.
If His Majesty refuses to cooperate and there is no third imperial edict, wouldn’t he regret death?
Therefore, grasping what is now is the most important thing.
As for others' discussions, he never cared about it.
