Chapter 348: No Interference in Government, Dealing with Eunuchs
"How do you think I should deal with Prince Dun?"
Naturally, Zhen Huan did not disappoint him and put forward her own ideas.
The emperor was told not to punish Prince Dun, but to have his wife persuade Prince Dun so that he could come in person to apologize and give an explanation to the ministers.
In this way, this dilemma can be solved smoothly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems that Zhen Huan has some insights into state affairs, which can sometimes be of some use.
"It is true that heroes are often tempted by beautiful women, but why is the Tenth Lady willing to persuade Prince Dun on my behalf?"
The emperor smiled and joked with Zhen Huan for a few words, then raised his question again.
Zhen Huan chuckled, and then proposed to confer the title of Beile on Prince Dun's brother, and to bring his most beloved daughter into the palace and confer the title of Heshuo Princess.
Hearing this, the Emperor looked at Zhen Huan with a little more suspicion, but Zhen Huan, who was immersed in her own intelligence, did not notice this.
Instead, she took on the task of persuading Prince Dun's wife with a coquettish look, not taking Empress Yixiu seriously at all.
The Emperor naturally knew that Zhen Huan's behavior would make the Queen unhappy, but he didn't care about it at the moment. As long as Zhen Huan could help him solve this problem, it would be enough.
"Among all the harems, only my Wan Qing can help me solve my problems."
The emperor was naturally not stingy with his praise, and after hearing this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
As expected, she was the only concubine in the palace who could discuss government affairs with the emperor and give him advice.
Although Concubine Xuan is a concubine, she is not as good as herself in this aspect.
"My ministers receive my salary every day, but they are unable to help me solve the problem. They are really useless."
"I am just a concubine in the harem. My knowledge is naturally not as broad as that of the ministers in the court. Therefore, I can only make a name for myself in the small ways among the sisters-in-law."
"Besides, this is not my idea. It's just that the emperor is concerned about the brotherly relationship with Prince Dun, so he made it difficult."
Although Zhen Huan was somewhat complacent at the moment, she still remembered the rule that the harem could not interfere in politics, so she did not dare to take the blame on herself. Instead, she smiled and attributed the matter to the emperor's wishes.
"Sister-in-law."
The emperor chewed over the two words that Zhen Huan inadvertently said in his mind, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that Concubine Wan is really too ambitious and might even want to become the queen. Otherwise, how could she be called a sister-in-law of Prince Dun's wife?
However, if she could come up with the best of both worlds for me like she did today, he could tolerate Wanpin's ambition.
"Those ministers are familiar with book ethics, but they don't necessarily know more about the emperor than I do. I am just guessing at the emperor's will."
Zhen Huan did not notice the complexity in the emperor's eyes. Instead, she smiled sweetly and complimented the emperor.
He had no idea that, for the emperor, those who knew his feelings too well were often the ones he feared the most.
There was a bit more suspicion in the emperor's eyes when he looked at Zhen Huan. It would be best if Concubine Wan just wanted to be the queen. If she had any other thoughts, she could not be kept.
"Hanhuan understands my intentions best, but sooner or later I will not be able to keep Prince Dun."
When Zhen Huan looked at him again, the emperor's eyes were full of tenderness and affection for Zhen Huan.
"Prince Dun is arrogant and domineering. The emperor has such intentions, which is a good thing for the people of the world."
"But the emperor cannot get rid of Prince Dun now. He needs the right time to act."
Zhen Huan was unusually unrestrained at this moment, and her words even seemed to be trying to advise the Emperor.
"Of course, I don't intend to take action now."
"Once this matter is completely resolved, I will let your father take up an important position in the Censorate, so that he can impeach all the officials on my behalf."
"Not only that, I will also promote those talented people who are not in league with Prince Dun Nian Gengyao."
Seeing this, the emperor said a few more words about some unimportant things, which made Zhen Huan think that the emperor treated her differently.
On this side, after learning that Zhen Huan went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Fu Cha Zhixi smiled, brought some things, and came to the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in a sedan chair.
As soon as Su Peisheng saw Fu Cha Zhixi, he hurriedly came up to her with a smile.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and good health."
"Get up. I heard that the emperor was worried about state affairs today, so he didn't eat well. I brought some good food here. I wonder if the emperor is available to see me now."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Su Peisheng and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, what a coincidence! Concubine Wan is in there right now."
Thinking of Jinxi's previous request to him, Su Peisheng would naturally prefer Concubine Wan, but he would not easily offend Concubine Xuan.
"I see. I'm sorry I came at an unfortunate time. Please take this thing in to the Emperor and I will go back first."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Su Peisheng meaningfully, but did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he readily asked Su Qin to hand over the food box.
Su Peisheng had been in the palace for so long that he naturally understood that Fu Cha Zhixi must have seen through his little trick, so he quickly stopped Fu Cha Zhixi with a flattering smile.
After all, Su Peisheng didn't dare to be so bold as to throw away the food box she sent him, so he had to take the food to the emperor.
When the emperor saw the food box, he knew that he had been there. How could Su Peisheng get away with it if he didn't report it?
But if there was no food box, Su Peisheng would have just said this. If she had left directly, even if she complained to the emperor afterwards, she would not be able to say anything.
You have to know that Su Peisheng didn't say anything else, he just told the truth.
"Your Majesty, I will report this to the Emperor right away."
When a concubine asks for an audience with the emperor, she needs to report this to the emperor regardless of whether there are other concubines present. However, there is no explicit rule on this matter, so Su Peisheng wants to take advantage of this and leave the opportunity to comfort the emperor to Concubine Wan alone.
After all, the first person who comes forward to comfort the emperor naturally has more heart than others and is more likely to be remembered by the emperor.
When the emperor heard Su Peisheng's report, his eyes lit up.
He was a little tired after talking about these things with Zhen Huan, so Xier coming here at this time was just the right time, and it could also help him relax a little.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and blessings."
Before Fu Cha Zhixi knelt down, the emperor walked over quickly and pulled her up.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and good health."
"Get up, Wanpin."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at Zhen Huan and said.
