Fate with you

Chapter 84

Convincing the clan is half the work, and if the minister objects again, it will be the foreign minister in the end.

Mu Sheng retreated because he didn't want the emperor's reputation to be damaged.

The emperor refused to retreat, because he wanted to do this from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't retreat.Once she retreats, Yili Huangfu will follow immediately. At that time, she will be extremely passive.

The tragedy of the Taiping dynasty must never happen to her again.

The emperor thought that he was too radical, and wanted to settle the matter quickly. This strong attitude made the minister displeased, so it was time to slow down his attitude.It's just that you have to start to do it, and you can't put it on hold.The longer it drags on, the more arrogance the minister will grow.In the court, either the ministers are strong and the ruler is weak, or the ruler is noble and the ministers are light, how can she tolerate the ministers pointing at her private affairs.

Mu Sheng was still hesitating, the emperor raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, his tone was light: "Don't be afraid, I say it can be done, it must be done, the ministers are just firm in their words, this matter has nothing to do with them."

The next morning, Meng Xiuyi summoned Ji An to Jianzhang Palace to discuss matters. After Mu Sheng's hesitation, she was completely tired of playing hide-and-seek with the ministers.Take this matter out, put it on the court case, and discuss it openly.

First summon Ji An, and then summon several other prime ministers, one by one, she decided to defeat them one by one.

The reason why we started with Ji An was that although Ji An asked her to release the arresting officials, he never mentioned anything about the incident from the beginning to the end.It was the same as usual, all Ji An's admonitions were state affairs, and he never pointed fingers at her private affairs, which was why the emperor valued Ji An.

As soon as Ji Ang arrived, Meng Xiuyi asked him to sit down, and then told the story openly and honestly.

Ji Ang was also agile, without the slightest hesitation, and said: "This is your Majesty's family business."

Yesterday, after His Majesty granted his request, he immediately issued an order to release the detaining officials without further delay. This made Ji Ang very happy, thinking that His Majesty was just being impatient and confused for a while, after all, he was still the son of Shengtian, so he brought up Lihou , Ji Ang no longer hesitated.This person's thinking is very simple, the emperor's most important thing is to govern the country, as long as His Majesty has the world in mind, it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not?

Meng Xiuyi was overjoyed to get his affirmation, but she knew that Ji An did not object because of his personality, and it was not so easy for others to persuade him.

Another day later, Meng Xiuyi summoned another chancellor.This old man's surname is Gu, and he was born in the Gu family in Hanoi.It's just that when you are old, you will inevitably be stubborn, and you come from a family, so you will inevitably be a little rigid.As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he immediately said: "This matter is absurd, and I dare not agree to it."

The emperor said sincerely: "Why should you not?"

"There has never been one in ancient times."

"It has never existed since ancient times, and it began with me."

Gu Xingzhi raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, don't let the world discuss it."

"Every new thing will inevitably cause people to discuss it. Once you get used to it, it will be like a drink and a meal, just ordinary." The emperor said.

"The royal family is a model for the world. Every word and deed is the standard for the world. If your Majesty is willful, the order of the world will be chaotic." Gu Xingzhi looked at the emperor with earnest words, "If it was someone else, there might be a cover-up, but this matter..., Empress After Li, how can there be such a reason in this world?"

The emperor sat up straight, and she knelt and sat face to face with Gu Xingzhi to show her intimacy, and now she sighed: "It is impossible to say that there is no precedent to follow." No one has done this before, Now she is doing it, and it is very difficult.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been conscientious and conscientious, serving the public all day long, but have I ever been slack?" Meng Xiuyi asked suddenly, turning around.

Gu Xingzhi said in a serious voice: "Your Majesty is diligent and strict with self-discipline, which is the blessing of ministers and common people."

"I'm old, and in this palace, it's rare to see a woman, and I fall in love with her, and now I want to enroll her as the empress, and serve her nearby. This has relieved my daily fatigue of worrying about the country and the people. Is this too much?" she asked. It is hard work to govern the country and the people conscientiously. When I finally see a woman I like, I should reward her for being so diligent.The emperor has softened his tone.

Gu Xingzhi said: "Girl, no, if it's a man, it's all up to Your Majesty."

"Girl and man, what's the matter with Yu Qing? Anyway, it's either Qing's concubine!" The emperor was also a little annoyed.

Gu Xingzhi's face did not change: "This is a ritual law, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a member of the minister's family."

He was very firm, and it seemed that it was not going to work.

Ministers who occupy righteousness will not give in easily.

Meng Xiuyi summoned the remaining three ministers one after another, but they all refused to agree.The situation is dire.

Meng Xiuyi had no choice but to point out that there is no provision in the etiquette law that prohibits daughters from marrying, saying that this is an ambiguous matter.

In fact, some agreed. In order to cater to the holy will, Tai Changqing even dug out a set of precedents from ancient times. I don't know if it is true or not, and gathered a group of people to fight against those ministers who refused to agree.

Meng Xiuyi looked anxious to death.

She endured it for several days, but the courtiers still refused to back down.Meng Xiuyi was angry.

Just at this time, Pang Zhongzhi played Gu Mingzhi, governor of Changle County, who led the people into chaos.

This is a big deal.Let the people do chaos, what chaos?When people and chaos are connected together, they are often related to "anti".This Gu Mingzhi, governor of Changle County, happened to be a younger brother of Gu Xingzhi's clan, if he was convicted, he would have a full family.

Even after the ceremony, they refused to listen. According to the steps, the next one should be the back soldier!

Meng Xiuyi concealed the secret melody and revealed his name to the public, causing an uproar in the court. After the confrontation, this is even more important for the stability of the society.Gu Xingzhi had to avoid suspicion and asked for leave to stay at home.When it goes up, it is supported by his relatives and friends.

The emperor said: "It's just a secret melody, it's hard to judge whether it's true or not, so Jin Yiwei rushed to find out the truth, if it's true, mobilize the local army to put down the rebellion, and take Gu Mingzhi to the capital to be punished!"

It's Jin Yiwei again!

The faces of all the ministers changed when they heard the name of Jin Yiwei!It is difficult to control the matter in Jin Yiwei's hands, who knows that Pang Zhongzhi is very happy.Mu Sheng stood at the head of all the officials, seeing the emperor's uncertain expression, she knew what she was thinking.

To the ministers, the name of Jinyiwei is creepy, but to His Majesty, Jinyiwei is easy to control.

Perhaps, this is a breakthrough point that can force everyone to agree.

During this period of time, apart from being single-minded about opposing or catering to the emperor, the ministers also devoted a lot of attention to guessing who the girl who was "fortunate" to win His Majesty's heart was. She thought she was a female official who was well-read and well-informed.

It's just that there are so many female officials in the palace that I really don't know which one it is.

Meng Xiuyi intended to protect Mu Sheng, so naturally he leaked something speciously and intentionally, which was enough to impress the minister.

It's just because of this, it's not good for Mu Sheng to be too unscrupulous with her.

It was night, Mu Sheng stayed in the palace, and worked with His Majesty to complete a few appointments for the Jinyiwei to be dispatched abroad, and it was time to assign each assignment.

Mu Sheng resigned, Meng Xiuyi looked at the burning candlestick, sighed, touched her cheek lightly, and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the situation is, I will never abandon you."

During these days, she always said something that reassured Mu Sheng, gentle and meticulous.Mu Sheng lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and gave a low "hmm".

Meng Xiuyi twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Don't leave tonight, it's okay to spend a night in the palace occasionally." Fortunately, although they didn't deliberately hide it in the past, they were very quiet after all, and no one dared to spy on the emperor. Therefore, no one knew that when Lord Shangqing stayed in the palace, he slept in the emperor's bedroom.

Mu Sheng agreed, but she never dared to face the emperor.The emperor was not displeased either, unlike her previous irascibility, during this period of time, she was extremely patient and tolerant towards Mu Sheng.

In this way, Mu Sheng felt very guilty.

"Are you going back to the Zhengshitang, or are you here?" Meng Xiuyi asked.

Mu Sheng looked up at her, and said in a low voice: "Didn't His Majesty insist on keeping me by your side in the past?"

Meng Xiuyi smiled: "I'm already in the midst of foreign aggression, and I can't fall into internal troubles anymore. I will let you first and listen to your opinion."

Mu Sheng couldn't help laughing at what he said.The originally heavy heart was also relieved, His Majesty always reassured her that she would definitely be able to do it, but never asked her whether she agreed with her to do so, she knew her inner conflict, on the one hand she couldn't bear to put her in a predicament, If one is not good, this matter will become a lifelong stain, but on the other hand, she is also afraid.

At the age of the emperor, there is really no delay. The matter of enshrining the emperor's husband was proposed by a minister many years ago, but His Majesty has been perfunctory and evasive.But there will always be a day that can't be pushed, what will happen then?

The emperor holds great power, but also shoulders responsibilities. Diligent governance is the first, and determining the successor is the second.

The ministers will not just watch the emperor's husband being vacant, they will have a day when they can't bear it, and at that time, they will urge the emperor to choose an emperor's husband as they are now against the queen.

What will she do then?If His Majesty finally could not bear the pressure and agreed, how would she deal with herself?

This is a matter of not advancing or retreating, and there is no way to have both.

Looking at His Majesty who was looking relaxed and trying to comfort her, Mu Sheng suddenly felt that she was really selfish. She clearly hoped that His Majesty would persevere to the end, but because of all kinds of regrets, she didn't even say a word of encouragement to His Majesty, and let her fight alone.

"What's the matter? So deep all of a sudden?" Seeing that her smile suddenly froze, Meng Xiuyi asked in a relaxed manner.

Mu Sheng raised her head, looked at her, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, you must succeed and make me a queen. I don't want to leave you, not even the slightest possibility."

Meng Xiuyi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "It's natural." She carefully looked at Mu Sheng's resolute expression, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I am very resolute, and I am the same. If we, wife and wife, work together, we will be able to cut gold .”

Hearing her talking about wives, Mu Sheng suddenly felt hot for some reason, smiled cheerfully and shyly, and lowered her head slightly.The smooth and white back of the neck slowly unfolded in front of Meng Xiuyi's eyes, gentle and seductive.

Meng Xiuyi took a deep breath, it seemed that she couldn't choose where Mu Sheng lived tonight.
