MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 11
The Empress is a member of the family. If she is pregnant with a prince, she will be a perfect puppet.
But Dai Ruyan said it was the Dai family, why did the Dai family remove the wings that they had placed with their own hands?
If you think about it deeply, the fetus in the womb of the dignified empress can be silenced without the emperor even finding out, how terrible the power of the Dai family is, I am really afraid.
Gong Yu stared blankly at Dai Ruyan, only to feel the confusion in her head, she swallowed and replied:
"I'm a little scared."
Dai Ruyan's fingertips lightly stroked Gong Yu's brow, and the light fell on her jade-like skin, but Dai Ruyan's whole body seemed bright and dark, as if it was unreal.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Dai Ruyan retracted her hand and said softly.
The bright sunlight outside the window fell on the side of the hand. Because of the pain in the knee, Gong Yu couldn't move, so she could only ask: "Why do you do this?"
"A baby boy is far easier to control than the eldest brother."
Dai Ruyan picked up the thin blanket on the side and put it on Gong Yu and replied, "Because my aunt is not willing to become Dai's minion."
So is this dealing with traitors from the Dai clan?
Gong Yu's heart was beating so fast, she grabbed Dai Ruyan's hand with some fear and asked seriously, "Ayan."
"Huh?" Dai Ruyan's eyes reflected Gong Yu's slightly nervous expression, and her fingertips rubbed Gong Yu's palm as if reassuringly said: "So this is the consequence of betraying the Dai clan."
"Xiao Jiu, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid." Gong Yu replied, sweating on her palm, "It's fun."
Obviously Gong Yu's disguise was not enough, Dai Ruyan hugged Gong Yu and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we will succeed."
The faint fragrance lingering on the tip of the nose, along with Gong Yu's breathing, entered the bottom of her heart inexplicably, making Gong Yu feel at ease.
Like the tide receding, the court fell into an inexplicable calm. When it was cold and dew, Gong Yu came out of the sedan chair early in the morning, and there was still a very thick fog outside.
The high palace road separates the palace and the capital, Gong Yu's rapid pace crosses the threshold, and it is never too late to listen to political affairs.
"Long live, long live, my emperor."
Gong Yu stood aside with all the princes, bowing his head and looking curiously at the splendid hall, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair was pale.
The losses caused by that war were huge for the palace country, and the taxation became more and more heavy, but extravagance still prevailed among the palace officials.
"Your Majesty, this minister proposes to increase the tax on the land to supplement the treasury with silver taels."
"What Aiqing said is very true, but now that the tax is heavier, I am afraid that the people's voices will accumulate grievances and cause people's anger."
"Your Majesty is the Supreme Being of Ninety-five, how dare the people not obey?"
"The minister waits for a second opinion."
All the officials knelt down, and only the prime minister stood in the hall, and this prime minister was Dai Ruyan's father, Daili.
This kind of situation in the early dynasty is almost the same beginning of this period of time. Gong Yu originally thought that the emperor should be supreme in the world, but now he saw with his own eyes that he was coerced by a powerful minister, and even a simple edict might be blocked by a hundred officials. Unable to execute.
The Taifu took a step forward, his eyes were burning, and he turned to inspect the hundreds of officials and said: "Nonsense, taxation has its own household department to formulate plans, and now it is not until the end of the year, how can you add taxation at will."
"The minister suggested that officials should advocate frugality, and hundreds of officials would follow suit. Why should the national treasury be insufficient?"
Immediately, the hall was silent, and only the historian was left with a quick writing. Gong Yu could clearly feel the murderous aura in the hall.
I saw the emperor coughing lightly: "Regarding the taxation, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run."
After chatting and going back to the original point, Gong Yu was hungry when the morning was over.
The fog outside was gradually dissipating, Gong Yu stretched his arms and slowly walked in the palace hall, and the hundreds of officials walked silently, like modern office workers.
The prime minister of that generation looked at Tai Fu with disdain, and the two parted ways.
It's just that the third highness was quite close to the prime minister of that generation, and the fourth highness on the side sneered: "What is the prime minister of that generation, I really think this palace country is a surname."
Gong Yu walked with his back straight and unhurriedly, walking with the Tai Fu, he heard the Tai Fu sigh, and said helplessly: "The common people have no grains due to natural disasters, and the officials in power are like bloodthirsty locusts. How can the people of this palace country not suffer?"
"Taifu has a heart. The father has not yet decided on this matter, so there should be room for it."
Taifu shook his head and took care of himself to leave, and the palace road came to an end, Gong Yu got into the sedan chair and said, "Go to replace my sister."
When the sedan chair stopped, Gong Yu got out of the sedan chair, and saw that there was a sedan chair in front of the door, the size of which seemed to be a royal relative.
"Prince Rong, walk slowly." The maid was waiting by the door.
Gong Yu stepped forward hesitantly, only to see the maid looking at it: "Today my young lady is tired and sees no visitors."
Forehead…
"Prince Rong just entered, how can I be exhausted when it's my turn?"
"His Royal Highness, the ninth highness, ran to my young lady every three days. Wouldn't it be a source of criticism?"
It was the first time that someone said so bluntly, Gong Yu was a little bit annoyed in her heart, so she approached boldly.
The maid stepped back and said, "Could it be that your Ninth Highness wants to trespass the house?"
"You maid is very courageous. If you commit the following crimes, what's the crime?" Gong Yu scolded her face very seriously.
The maid was a little flustered and avoided the answer: "His Royal Highness...what do you want to do?"
"I... don't want to do anything." Gong Yu snorted softly, took a look inside, turned around and waved his sleeves away.
Gong Yu is naturally free to come and go in this courtyard on weekdays, but today it is really strange.
Gong Yu took the sedan chair back to the mansion, thinking that there were still a large number of guards inside just now, it seemed that there were important people inside.
Returning to the mansion, Gong Yu frowned, ignoring the scrutiny of the old housekeeper, and walked into the study on his own.
"Isn't your little highness always hungry?" the old butler approached and asked.
Only then did Gong Yu react, clutching her stomach and saying, "I'm a little hungry."
"Then let someone set the meal on the table." Gong Yu sat down and said.
Although the mansion is large, it is very deserted. Gong Yu is holding the soup bowl and drinking slowly, and his head suddenly thinks of Prince Narong.
In modern terms, this Prince Rong is the uncle of the old aristocracy. He has money in his hands. Although he has little power, he is also a prince. No one will take the initiative to provoke him if his position is there.
□□Prince has not been different from the Prime Minister in the court recently, but he is quite close in private.
There are only two possibilities for a prince to get close to a powerful minister, one is beneficial, and the other is demand.
rebellion?
Or plotting something?
Gong Yu drank the soup slowly, unable to guess Daijia's intentions.
Chaotang's taxation was delayed for more than half a month, and finally the Taifu went out to investigate the disaster situation and then negotiate.
This is probably the disadvantage of the meeting, and in the end, no conclusion has been reached.
After the early court, Gong Yu entered the hall in a panic and asked to go with the Taifu. The emperor asked unexpectedly, "Xiao Jiu, you are still young, so it's better for your brother to observe the people's feelings with the Taifu."
"Back to the father, the son wants to hone early, so as to share the worries for the father."
Unconsciously, the gray-haired emperor looked at his young son with a moving expression, and was about to speak, when the Taifu beside him said, "Your Majesty, since the ninth highness has such thoughts, it is better to go with the old ministers to comfort the hearts of the people."
"Then I'll be sure." The emperor replied slack.
"Thank you Father Wang Enzhun."
When Gong Yu told Dai Ruyan the news, Dai Ruyan, who was about to leave, looked at Gong Yu with a puzzled look, frowned slightly and said, "It's not right."
Hey?
"Why is it wrong?" Gong Yu looked at him puzzled.
Dai Ruyan dropped the chess piece in his hand and sighed softly: "It's my fault, I should have told you earlier, it's better not to interfere in the disaster."
"Ayan is saying that there is something strange about the disaster?"
"You shouldn't get involved in this."
Gong Yu immediately dropped the chess piece and said, "Anyway, sooner or later, we have to contact."
"Father made up his mind not to let anyone get in his way, you... don't make a fool of yourself."
"It's okay to have a grandfather here. At most, I just look at it and don't talk nonsense."
Dai Ruyan's eyes were dim, and her fingertips were rubbing against Heizi, as if she helplessly lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, you are still too simple."
Gong Yu was puzzled and asked, "Then just tell me if you are wrong."
"But now I haven't figured out the situation." Dai Ruyan packed up the chessboard, her brows filled with annoyance, probably because she had no intention of playing chess.
The topic came to an abrupt end, Gong Yuxin seemed to have been scratched by a cat, her eyes looking straight at Dai Ruyan.
However, Dai Ruyan's patience is not comparable to Gong Yu's. Gong Yu had to sit close and ask, "Ayan..."
"Elder sister?" Gong Yu called in a different way, and said in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
Dai Ruyanjing sat aside, completely ignoring Gong Yu's intentions.
"I'm also experiencing experience, and I'll be back in just a few months."
"You want the third and fourth brothers to follow the father and the king in person. The sixth brother is very talented, and the only one left is me. I have nothing to do. Now I have more good reputation, so that I will have the confidence to marry my sister in the future." Gong Yu was cheeky and shamed, and secretly kissed the next generation Ruyan's cheek and said pitifully.
Dai Ruyan tilted her head slightly, and although she didn't answer, her earlobes were already red.
Gong Yu smiled and half hugged Dai Ruyan and said, "Don't worry, my life is on the line."
Going through this kind of thing for 800 years, Gong Yu can be bumped into something that may not be encountered, but it will die so soon.
Dai Ruyan's sigh sounded beside her ears, the whole person was held in Dai Ruyan's arms, Gong Yu still didn't react.
Dai Ruyan said helplessly, "Xiao Jiu..."
"Huh?" Gong Yu responded to the inexplicably nervous heartbeat.
"Can't trust anyone, only you can trust yourself?"
The tip of Gong Yu's nose rubbed against Dai Ruyan's gauze skirt, but she felt that it smelled very good, and replied in a trance: "I understand, I don't believe anyone except Ayan."
"Better, don't even believe me." Dai Ruyan said in a low voice with dark eyes.
"That won't work." Gong Yu slightly distanced himself, and said with a smile, "We are two grasshoppers on the same rope. Naturally, we have to share the blessings and the misfortunes."
Dai Ruyan was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and lightly hung the tip of Xia Gongyu's nose, her eyes were full of tenderness, and Gong Yu was so dazed that she almost forgot to breathe.
