It's hard to be the emperor who crosses the eagle

Zhang Ning responded and exited the imperial study.

Su Ruochen was silent for a while, and whispered something to Xiaoshi.

After listening to Xiaoshi, her eyes were full of reluctance, and her voice was nasal: "The official family, the servants have been running around, it is rare to be able to accompany the servants at this time..."

Su Ruo looked down coldly, and scolded softly: "Xiaoshi, you can be regarded as taught by me, how can you not understand my thoughts? What is the most important thing now, you should understand in your heart, how can you do such a small thing?" Daughter attitude? If you go and finish this matter, you have made a contribution to the country, and I will reward you in the future."

Xiaoshi blinked her eyes, looking forward to saying: "Xiaoshi just needs to stay with the butler."

Su Ruochen's expression softened, and he said softly, "The seat next to me will be reserved for you."

When Xiaoshi heard it, she immediately said happily: "This is what the officials said!"

Su Ruochen laughed and said, "I said it, is it okay?"

Xiaoshi's face straightened, and she knelt down and said, "Xiaoshi will live up to the orders of the officials!"

After Xiaoshi left, Su Ruochen chose a young eunuch who was fairly nimble to take care of her daily life temporarily.Although he did everything by himself before time travel, but the emperor who has been in this world for so long has already been completely corrupted, so why pretend to be noble when someone serves him?

Therefore, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality...

As for whether Xiaoshi would betray her, Su Ruochen had great confidence in him.After all, he has been under Xiaoshi's care these days, if Xiaoshi betrayed, he would have finished playing.

This anticlimactic plot to assassinate Su Ruochen, it reminded Su Ruochen of an idea.

Murong... right?Although I can't catch you and slaughtered the whip corpse now, but I can't let you have nothing to do, thinking about how to calculate Jiangshan Sheji and how to make trouble for him all day long, right?This time, Su Ruochen will take the initiative to give you a chaotic situation, go and play by yourself!I will not accompany you!

Su Ruochen was very relieved to throw Xiaoshi out to handle this matter.

Next, let's go to the dungeon to see those few assassins who can't ask anything, right?After all, you have to do a full set of acting, and it would be a bit fake to proceed to the next step without going to the prison.

Following Zhang Ning into the dungeon, Su Ruo shunned everyone and didn't know what to do in there alone.

——Actually, I didn’t do anything, just looked here and there, observed the entire execution room upside down, and then took a closer look at the assassins, and then walked out.

As soon as Su Ruochen came out of the execution room, he ordered: "The few people inside should be imprisoned first, and then be executed later." The corner of his mouth was filled with a smile, and he looked confident and confident. There is a lot of money in the execution room.

Zhang Ning reminded: "Your Majesty, you will have a big wedding at the beginning of August, and the world will be pardoned at that time. If you will be executed after autumn..."

Su Ruochen smiled and said, "They still have something to say, so naturally they can't kill them."

Ignoring Zhang Ning who was surprised in his heart, Su Ruochen walked out quickly.

After leaving the dungeon, he took a few deep breaths.The air in the dungeon is really...

Zhang Ning then followed out, and his expression returned to Gujing Wubo.

"Zhang Ning," Su Ruo Shen said, "You have traveled around the world for several years, but have you ever heard of Gusu Murong?"

Zhang Ning thought carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Su Ruochen was noncommittal, with a calm face, and said: "Go and check, and submit everything related to the Murong surname of the Beiyan Xianbei royal family."

"Yes."

Su Ruochen returned to the imperial study room. Due to the rebellion of Liu Wenqing, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, he has lost track of him now. It is impossible to know whether he is dead or alive. Su Ruochen has no suitable candidate, so the position of chief assistant is vacated.

Su Ruochen directly asked Yang Zhao, who was idle in Lin'an City and was waiting to get married, to take the army to ransack the house, which can be regarded as recycling.

Not long after sitting down, a servant came to report: "Officials, why is the servant of the Ministry of Rites begging to see you?"

What is mediocrity?Why is he here at this time?Could it be that there is news about Liu Wenqing?But that should be provided to Yang Zhao.Or, what's the matter?Su Ruo thought deeply, but her face was very calm, and said: "Let him in."

He Weiyong is a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and a goatee. In Su Ruochen's opinion, he is very entertaining.

After He Weiyong saluted, he presented a secret letter and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Mongolian Prince Tuo Lei arrived in Lin'an ten days ago and wanted to see His Majesty. But at that time... there was an important matter in the court, so it was delayed until now. Originally Liu Wenqing is in charge of this matter, but..." He Weiyong paused, and continued: "Yesterday, the Mongolian envoy asked for an audience again, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

So it's them... Su Ruochen's expression didn't change, as if he knew it long ago.He picked up the secret letter and saw that it was sealed with wax.After tearing it open, Su Ruochen took out the paper inside, unfolded it and read it again.

Putting down the secret letter, Su Ruochen ordered: "I know, let's arrange it at the end of tomorrow. Remember, don't make a big fuss, just bring it to the palace in secret."

"The humble minister obeys the order." He Weiyong thought that there must be some secret way, so he didn't ask too much, just wanted to complete his own duties well, and it would be best if he could be promoted to an official and make a fortune, so that there would be no catastrophe Difficulties will do.Since the emperor told us to go east, let's not fight against him.As for that idiot Liu Wenqing, he is completely ambitious and has no self-knowledge. His power and status are only available to the Son of Heaven. How can he use something like "the Son of Heaven disrespects the saints" as a cover?Now it's alright, although it's missing, maybe it was handled secretly by the emperor, and even my own home was confiscated...

well.As a human being, it’s better to be content; as an official, don’t be so hypocritical.He Weiyong is well versed in the way of harmony.

Su Ruochen waved his hand: "Go down."

"Yes."

Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. It seems that He Weiyong is more suitable to be the chief assistant than Liu Wenqing.It's just... I don't know what his ambition is?Su Ruo's expression was cloudy and uncertain.

Find some time and try it.

Secretly made up his mind, Su Ruochen went to the Queen Mother.

Princess An was not liked by the Queen Mother, Su Ruochen couldn't change this, so she had to let her stay in the bedroom by herself, and find some court ladies and eunuchs to play with her.

Xie Daoqing actually accompanied the Queen Mother, seeing Xie Daoqing sitting on the right side of the Quan Queen Mother, and Jia Yaoer sitting on the left side, Su Ruochen couldn't help being slightly stunned.

The two saluted and said: "The concubine has seen the official's house."

Su Ruochen smiled and said, "There's no need to be too polite. I'm relieved to have you with me."

Seeing Su Ruochen's arrival, the queen mother showed joy behind her, and said with a smile: "Officials, why do you have time to visit me?"

Su Ruochen smiled wryly and said, "Ma'am, isn't your son here?"

Empress Dowager Quan showed her kindness at the back, and scolded with a smile: "You boy, you must have encountered something again, and you want to ask me, an old woman, for help?"

Su Ruo said in a deep voice: "It's better to know a child than a mother, and the one who knows me is also the empress."

Although the Queen Mother is the mother of the body that Su Ruochen took over halfway, Su Ruochen has accepted the memory of this body after all, and her personality has also been affected. Coupled with the past few years of getting along, the Queen Mother also knows a little about him of.

Queen Mother Quan said: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Su Ruochen didn't answer first, and said to Xie Daoqing and Jia Luo'er, "You go back first, I will accompany you today, my lady."

Xie Daoqing's eyes flashed with reluctance, but he still said in a regular manner: "The concubine will leave."

Jia Luo'er's complexion was haggard, it seemed that she knew about Jia She being killed by the rebels.Her eyes were reddish, and she looked at Su Ruochen with resentment.Originally, it was supposed to make men feel infinite love and pity, but for some reason, Su Ruochen only felt a chill.

Jia She's death was too strange, could it really have something to do with those rebellions?

After sending away the two daughters, Su Ruochen asked the Queen Mother to back away from her left and right sides, and then said: "Your Majesty, my son has something to discuss with you."

Queen Mother Quan said: "What's the matter?"

Su Ruo said deeply: "Mother, at the beginning of tomorrow, the Mongolian Prince Tuo Lei will come to the palace to discuss the alliance with our Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time send troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin. My son would like to invite you to come forward and talk with him in detail behind the curtain."

Queen Mother Quan said: "My old woman knows nothing about these important national affairs, how can she be in charge?"

Su Ruo said with a deep smile: "The son will be next to the empress, and the empress only needs to listen to her son at that time."

The Empress Dowager Quan nodded, and asked again: "Why do the officials do such complicated things?"

Su Ruo said deeply: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. My son's actions this time are to confuse the Mongols, confuse their thinking, and make them think that the Empress is the manipulator behind the Song Dynasty. They believe easily, but once they have doubts, the son can take advantage of it."

"Two things," Su Ruochen continued, "Your Majesty said that my son had a cold. Even if they don't believe that you are behind the scenes, they will think that his son was actually stabbed and seriously injured during the sacrifice. I can't recover for a while. And the empress wants to take this opportunity to learn from Empress Lu Wuzhao..."

Empress Dowager Quan's complexion changed, and she said angrily: "Officials, how can you let me do this...such..."

Su Ruochen quickly appeased Queen Dowager Quan and said: "Madam, my son doesn't mean that. My son just wants Madam to accompany him in a play. I will leave the rest to my son."

Empress Dowager Quan sighed, and complained: "You, the old woman sold you this old body of bones, so you can just watch."

Su Ruochen immediately stepped forward, pressed the Queen Mother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mother, why did my son torment you? Mother, my son's craftsmanship has not deteriorated, right?"

The Empress Dowager Quan's eyes looked lovingly through the corridor of time, as if she had returned to a long time ago, when their family was still living the life of ordinary people... Although the life at that time was not as good as the current life. I have gained a lot, but I have happiness that I can't have now.

"Ju'er, in a few days, call Rui'er into the palace, and our family will have a good reunion."

Hearing Queen Mother Quan call out her name from a long time ago, Su Ruochen responded softly: "Okay."

At the beginning of the next day, He Weiyong took Torre to the queen mother's residence alone.

Although I don't understand what the Son of Heaven means, He Weiyong is definitely a typical example of what you should know and what you shouldn't know without asking too much.So even though he was puzzled, he didn't dare to show it, and dutifully led the Mongolian prince to his destination.

"Why is my humble minister so mediocre? I have brought Prince Tuolei of Mongolia to see the Queen Mother."

After a while, a court lady came out from inside to convey the Queen Mother's will.

She said crisply: "My lord, the queen mother wants you to leave first. When the matter is settled, the empress will naturally send someone to send Prince Torre away."

He Weiyong was confused for a while, but it didn't show on his face.He respectfully said: "Why is a mediocre minister obedient to the Empress Dowager's order?"

Torre was surprised when he heard the words, he actually saw the Queen Mother of Song?Didn't the Queen Mother never care about political affairs?Now why... Could it be that the information obtained by Mongolia is wrong?

Anyway, let's wait and see.

Torre restrained his thoughts and followed the maid into the palace gate.

The location chosen by the Queen Mother is an empty side hall, which is generally not used by anyone.

As soon as Torre entered, he saw only one chair and one table in the empty lobby.

The maid stopped and said to Torre: "Prince Torre, please rest here for a while, the queen mother will discuss with you there. After all, men and women are different, so be careful not to provoke criticism."

Torre followed the maid's gesture and looked over to a side room with the door half-closed.

At this time, another court lady served a cup of tea and retreated.

The maid said again: "If you don't have anything to say, the maidservant will leave." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Torre to express anything, she went out.

To put it mildly.The maid is like this, the master... Torre sat calmly on the chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. He looked calm, but he couldn't help being wary of the Queen Mother Song who was about to negotiate with him. .

A soft, old voice came from the side room: "Prince Torre, the official family feels a little sick and needs to rest in bed. This time, let the old man come."

Torre's heart moved, and a suspicious look appeared on his face just right.He asked uncertainly: "Empress Dowager Song, can you make the decision?"

Empress Dowager Quan said: "The old man is the biological mother of the official family. How can the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty not be the master?"

Torre suddenly said: "So, the queen mother can fully represent the emperor of Song?"
