Chapter 181 Rejection (one more)
But as soon as the Queen Mother Yuan’s voice fell, she heard the emperor’s indifferent reply:
"No need."
The three words are neither light nor heavy, neither cold nor hot, and there is a hint of sternness in his tone, which is beyond doubt.
Liushuang was stunned for a while, and stood still with his head down.
The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense again because of the emperor's words.
Meeting the sharp and gloomy eyes of Empress Dowager Yuan, the emperor casually flicked his sleeves, rubbed the gourd-shaped hand stove in his hand, and continued: "The empress dowager also said that I, the father, must give my son the details."
"Yu's daughter can't do it."
The emperor's tone became colder and sharper, and when he said the last five words, he was decisive.
"..." Empress Dowager Yuan's expression changed instantly, and she looked at the emperor who was only a foot away from her with a look as if looking at a stranger.
The emperor has always been soft-tempered. He rarely gets angry on weekdays. To put it nicely, he is mild-mannered. To put it badly, he is cowardly and easy to manipulate.
The Empress Dowager Yuan had been married to the late emperor for more than 20 years. Only eight years ago, when the eldest prince was sent to South Vietnam as a hostage, she saw the emperor get angry once.
After eight years, the Empress Dowager Yuan had already forgotten about it. She didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly be hard-hearted today, so she refuted her words in public. Even Chu You turned his eyes away from Gu Yuncong's body, slightly squinting. He looked at the emperor in amazement.
Empress Dowager Yuan's body stiffened, her face turned blue and red, her wrists trembled uncontrollably, and every word was frosty: "Does the emperor have an opinion on the family?"
She asked straight to the point, her voice resounding throughout the deck and clearly reaching the ears of others around her.
Those children of the noble family all looked at the emperor and the empress dowager, and pricked up their ears.
The dragon robe on the emperor's body was rolled up by the cold wind, and the cloak draped on the outside bulged slightly, making his figure thinner and thinner.
The Emperor stared directly at Empress Dowager Yuan's gloomy eyes without evasion, and announced in a slow and firm tone:
"My eldest prince does not marry daughters of noble families."
After finishing speaking, the emperor turned his head to look at Chu Yi, who was beside him. When facing his son, he had that gentle smile again, and his loving expression seemed to say, "On the first day of the new year, don't worry, you have father here."
"..." Chu Yi smiled slightly, her beautifully shaped pupils narrowed slightly, and her pupils were gleaming.
Daddy is still like this, exactly the same as when he was a child, nothing has changed.
Empress Dowager Yuan did not expect that the emperor not only rejected her categorically, but did not even find an excuse, and her face instantly turned blue.
She has lived a smooth life in this life. She was valued by her parents and brothers when she was in her parents' home. She was also deeply favored by the late emperor when she married the late emperor. Even if the late emperor died, she was still the empress dowager above, the most honorable woman in this dynasty.
Her fingertips digged deeply into her tender palm, her eyes dark.
More and more people looked over here, and even the son who was blowing the flute put down the jade flute in his hand.
The sound of the flute stopped, and the surroundings were silent, except for the gusts of cold wind whistling on the plywood.
Yuan Zhe, who was standing beside Chu You, stared straight at the emperor, his eyes were as deep as abyss, and his hands were thoughtfully behind his back.
First Fengyang, then the emperor...
They are so uncharacteristically, are they planning to take action against the aristocratic family? !
is really funny.
Yuan Zhe's eyes turned cold a little bit, as if a snowstorm was raging in his eyes, and he sneered in his heart: Grandfather and father were right, as expected, they are incompetent today, and have no self-awareness.
If he were to go up today, he would be patient and dormant, and like the late emperor, he would slowly figure it out, slowly grasp the court in his hands, and then plan other things.
It’s only been a year since I ascended the throne, and I didn’t even have a seat on the dragon chair, so I wanted to take a knife on their family, thinking I was Emperor Taizu!
The Empress Dowager Yuan still stared at the emperor, and smiled, but the smile was not as wide as her eyes, and asked, "Then Aijia also asked the emperor if there are any girls he likes? Aijia can also help Zhangzhangyan."
The emperor smiled leisurely, and said calmly: "Emperor Taizu once said that marriage should not only be about the life of the parents, but also about mutual wishes."
This sentence seems to be saying that Chu Yi will choose his own marriage, so he will not spare the Queen Mother.
Hearing the emperor mention Emperor Taizu, Yuan Zhe's eyes turned gloomy again.
At that time, Emperor Taizu launched an uprising, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and the previous dynasty was defeated all the way. When the overall situation of Jiangbei was set, their Yuan family and other noble families also took the initiative to surrender to Taizu and worship him as the master.
However, Emperor Taizu hated the aristocratic family because the family did not help him conquer the previous dynasty, and was dedicated to supporting those poor officials to replace the family.
Most of their noble families have been passed down for hundreds or even hundreds of years. They are big families in the prefectures and counties they belong to. They have also suppressed the scholars of the poor family in the local area. However, Emperor Taizu acted resolutely and immediately killed the chickens to warn the monkeys, and the Qingzhou Wang family was destroyed.
Other aristocratic families would not dare to do it again.
Emperor Taizu has always been a man of two words.
But in this great Jing Dynasty, there was only this amazing Taizu Emperor.
It is said that tiger fathers have no dogs, and everyone knows that the late emperor is not as good as the Taizu Emperor... and now even the late emperor is not as good as him!
The three generations of emperors in the Dajing Dynasty are not as good as one generation...
Yuan Zhe looked at the emperor's profile with an almost contemptuous look that could not hide his old and sickly face.
I was raised and abandoned by the late emperor this morning, so what is there to be afraid of?
Just like what my father said, since this one is not obedient, then change to another obedient one.
Yuan Zhe slowly shifted his gaze from the emperor to King Kang Chuyou.
Chu You is standing under the roof of the painting boat, the shadow of the roof casts a faint shadow on his well-defined side face, which makes his narrow and sharp eyes colder than the cold wind, like a leopard about to hunt. .
Kang Kang has the blood of the family in his body, and he is naturally on their side. Moreover, King Kang is still young and needs the support of their family.
"Seventh Emperor Brother," the emperor also looked at Chu You like Yuan Zhe, his eyes were meaningful, and he slowly asked with a smile, "Do you think this sentence is right or wrong?"
"..." Chu You's face sank, his thin lips pursed tightly.
This sentence originally came from his mouth. It was what he said to the emperor when he asked the emperor to fulfill him and Gu Yunchang last year. At this time, the emperor just returned the original words.
Ying looked at the emperor's slightly provocative eyes, and Chu You's thin mouth gradually formed a sneer, his eyes darkened.
He and his concubine are in love with each other, and they truly love each other. It has nothing to do with those external family backgrounds. He loves concubine because of this person, whether her surname is Gu or whether she is the daughter of Gu Ce does not matter.
嫆'er loves him only because he is him, not because he has the brilliance of King Kang.
Their feelings are different.
But the Emperor...
The emperor kept talking about "Taizu" and "two loves", but he was using chicken feathers as an arrow. To put it bluntly, it was just to suppress the family.
