Chapter 155: Be Able to Bend and Stretch
When it comes to military and state affairs, in addition to the regent, the emperor also ordered several cabinet ministers to go to the imperial study to discuss affairs. Several clan elders, as well as King Qi and King Ning were also there.
Chen Fu pushed open the door of the imperial study and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the regent is here."
There was silence in the imperial study room.
Rong Yu silently stepped into the imperial study room. He was dressed in a black robe woven with gold and embroidered with python patterns, which made him tall and tall. His face was dignified and indifferent, his eyebrows were as cold as the ice and snow of Tianshan Mountain, and his whole body exuded a noble pressure that made people awe and surrender.
As soon as he entered, the air in the imperial study seemed to drop several degrees instantly.
King Qi, King Ning, and several cabinet ministers all saluted respectfully: "See the regent."
"See the little emperor uncle."
Rong Yu said indifferently, "No courtesy," and sat down on the chair brought by Chen Fu. The chair was close to the imperial case, making it easier to talk.
A dark light flashed across Rong Chuyun's eyes, and the hand holding on to the information tightened unconsciously, and then he smiled faintly: "I would like to congratulate the emperor's uncle on his happy wedding. The gift I gave to the little emperor's aunt has been brought back by Nan Xiang. When he returns in three days, the emperor's uncle can take the emperor's aunt to the Prime Minister's Mansion to bring back the gifts. "
Everyone in the imperial study room had different thoughts after hearing this.
Although there are differences between the monarch and his ministers, in the royal family, the monarch and his ministers are in front and behind in seniority, but the regent still holds the power of regency. At least for now, he can be on an equal footing with the emperor, and he also occupies the status of an elder. Regardless of whether it is public or private, the regent has absolute control.
It was obviously a little inappropriate for His Majesty the Emperor to use the words "reward" in front of the Regent.
However, the Prince Regent would probably not argue with him about these words. It was just that the emperor asked Nan Xiang to take the congratulatory gift that was supposed to be given to the Princess Regent back. This move was obviously more inappropriate than the inappropriate choice of words.
Not to mention the water thrown out by the married daughter, the relationship between the Prime Minister and this daughter seems to have dropped to the freezing point due to the divorce incident in the Prime Minister's Mansion some time ago. Miss Nan did not even leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Getting on the sedan, it can be seen that the relationship has become tense.
At this time, the emperor asked the prime minister to take the congratulatory gift for the princess regent back, and also asked the prince regent to return with the newlywed princess three days later?
What exactly does it mean?
"Qingyang." Rong Yu spoke with a cold voice.
Qingyang heard his master calling him in the imperial study. He opened the door and walked in. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty."
"The wedding gift from the Emperor to the Princess is in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You and Chen Fu should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, take inventory of the things, and deliver them to the Prince Regent's Mansion in large quantities to the Princess."
Qingyang accepted the order: "Yes."
Chen Fu's expression changed slightly and he subconsciously looked at the emperor.
The other people in the imperial study were also stunned for a moment. They did not expect that the newlywed regent had no intention of saving face for the emperor in front of so many people. This order was a slap in the emperor's face.
Everyone quietly lowered their eyes, feeling really sour and complicated in their hearts.
Rong Chuyun's face froze for a moment, and a gloomy and strange light flashed across his eyes, and he was obviously very angry. However, he really did not have the confidence to get angry with the regent.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and he had to raise a smile and scold Chen Fu: "Since the emperor asked you to go, why don't you go quickly? What are you doing here?"
Chen Fu swallowed, turned around and walked out quickly, and only dared to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead when he walked outside the imperial study room.
"I didn't consider this matter carefully. I hope your uncle won't take it to heart." Rong Chuyun smiled lightly, and his voice that suppressed his anger sounded quite gentle, "Actually, I couldn't bear to see the Prime Minister and the Emperor's aunt having a dispute. , After all, we are biological father and daughter, how can we have an overnight feud? However, it is indeed rude of me to not get the consent of the emperor in advance, and I would like to apologize to the emperor. "
Everyone secretly thought that the emperor was indeed a capable and capable man.
Rong Yu said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
The temperature in the Imperial Study Room dropped again and again. Even though several cabinet ministers had been immersed in officialdom for decades and had seen countless storms, they still felt the uneasiness running down their spines.
The silence lasted for a moment.
Rong Chuyun used the action of drinking tea to cover up his almost out-of-control emotions. He took a sip of tea. He put down the tea cup and found his normal voice: "An emergency report has just been sent. There are 50,000 new elites on the border of Shu. It seems that There are signs of provoking troops again. I want the emperor to lead troops to the border immediately to suppress the Shu army and stop their wantonness, so that the people of the two countries can avoid the suffering of the war. I wonder what the emperor's uncle thinks? "
When the cabinet ministers and several clan princes heard these words, their expressions changed.
"Shu wants to raise troops again?"
"This is simply unreasonable! We were defeated by the Regent's Xuanjia Army last year and fled, losing three cities. Now you haven't learned your lesson?"
"The barbarians of Shu are warlike in nature and have repeatedly started wars. It is really unforgivable! In my opinion, they should be completely defeated and defeated, so that they will never be able to fight again."
"War is a waste of people and money. The Shu Kingdom is only increasing its troops at the border. It is hard to say whether it will really go to war with the Zhou Dynasty. Please be patient." Apparently some people have different opinions. "With the current military and financial resources of the Shu Kingdom, they should not be too impatient." Not stupid enough to start a war with Dazhou."
Rong Chuyun kept his eyes on Rong Yu's face, seeing that he remained unmoved from the beginning to the end. His indifferent face was calm and calm, making it impossible to see what was in his heart. He seemed to have a deeper heart than the king. , deep and unpredictable.
"What does the emperor think?"
"The prince and princess of Shu are already on their way to Da Zhou." Rong Yu said, his voice as cold as water, "Their purpose should be marriage rather than war. As for who the princess of Shu wants to marry and who the emperor wants her to marry, both sides can sit down and discuss it. If Shu really wants to raise an army, I have already chosen someone to lead the army, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about it."
Having someone to lead the army?
The emperor's expression changed: "What does the emperor's uncle mean... to choose another commander?"
Rong Yu said calmly: "The two generals under my command are both brave and good at fighting. They have experienced several large and small battles with me. I believe in their abilities and will definitely protect the northern border for me and prevent any soldier from Shu from offending the territory of Da Zhou."
Rong Chuyun pursed his lips, and a hand hanging in his sleeve clenched unconsciously.
What is good at fighting? His purpose is to transfer the regent away from the imperial capital, not to give his generals a chance to show off!
"The Shu army is savage and strong. Only if the uncle goes there in person can the emperor feel at ease." The King of Qi spoke calmly, "The uncle is now the god of war of the Great Zhou, and his reputation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people-"
"No need to flatter me." Rong Yu interrupted him, "Regarding the marriage with Shu, the emperor can choose a suitable one from the princes who have not yet married, or if the emperor intends to take this princess into the harem, then it is not impossible to make her a concubine. The emperor can make these decisions himself."
Paused, "As for the expedition, the king has his own decision in his heart, and the emperor does not need to worry."
