After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 24 Marriage

"Mr. Chen Ge, please get up quickly. Why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony?"

Ye Qinghuai wanted to help him up first, but Chen Yuansi was unusually stubborn. He knelt on the ground and said: "If your majesty cannot grant this old minister's wish, please consider that the old minister has been loyal to the court for many years and is now weak and sick.

, the quasi-veteran minister retires and returns home."

here we go again.

Ye Qinghuai felt agitated.

In her previous life, Chen Yuansi also made countless twists and turns on the matter of the emperor's establishment. She used both hard and soft tactics in court, quoting scriptures, and equated the issue of marrying a concubine after the emperor's establishment with whether he could securely sit on the throne. In the end, he almost led the ministers to impeach her as the emperor.

Let her abdicate.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't withstand their offensive, and finally reluctantly agreed, and decreed that the Chen family's daughter and the Gu family's daughter should be included in the harem. However, before they could decide who would be the queen, the identity of Ye Qinghuai's woman was leaked.

The marriage was over.

Now Chen Yuansi is forcing her to use the civil servant's advice of resigning from old age and returning home. In the final analysis, it is better to change the soup rather than the medicine.

A somewhat sad smile appeared on Ye Qinghuai's lips.

Yes, given her current situation, with no military power in her hands and no close ministers around her, the title of Ninth Five Supreme Being is actually a piece of cake. Apart from the title of emperor, what else does she have?

The bustle in the world is all for profit. The bustling world is all for profit. This is especially true in the court, where there are no good intentions for no reason.

She wanted to win over Chen Yuansi because she wanted to use him to suppress Gu Shihai, while Chen Yuansi spoke for her because he was concerned about the position of queen next to her.

To be more precise, what he wanted was a prince with the blood of the Chen family.

But this was something Ye Qinghuai couldn't give anyway.

Ye Qinghuai's expression darkened, and she made a decision in her heart, a huge gamble.

Then, she put all her thoughts in order and smiled pleasantly at Chen Yuansi: "What is Mr. Chen Ge talking about? I was raised by Mr. Chen Ge. If we say we are close, no one else can compare. We are a family.

If people don't speak the same language, get up quickly."

When Chen Yuansi heard that "one family does not speak the same language as the other," he seemed to think for a moment, and then slowly stood up with the support of Ye Qinghuai.

"The daughter of the Chen family is so talented. If she cannot have a good marriage, let alone Chen Ge, I will sigh with regret." Ye Qinghuai paused and then said, "To tell you the truth, since I took charge, the cabinet has

I have read all the details of the memorial that was handed to me asking for a queen. It’s not that I don’t want to be queen, it’s that I have no way to do so.”

"Mr. Chen Ge also knows that after the death of Empress Dowager Jingmin last year, there was no one in charge of the harem. Since ancient times, parents have made the final decision on marriage matters, and the royal family is no exception. But my parents died young and did not make any arrangements for my marriage. I can only

Making the decision yourself. This is already unfilial. It has been less than two years since the emperor passed away, and I am still in the period of filial piety. It would be extremely unfilial to get married during the period of filial piety. Da Jing governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. As an example for all the people in the world, how can I do this?

Is this the case?"

Ye Qinghuai spoke sincerely, but Chen Yuansi remained unmoved. He subconsciously wanted to let go of Ye Qinghuai's hand that was holding him, but Ye Qinghuai held it firmly.

Ye Qinghuai changed the topic and said: "But it is rare for Mr. Chen Ge to speak to me once, how can I refuse to agree? What's more, seeing a thousand gold calligraphy treasure today is very popular with me."

She took off the jade pendant from her waist, looked at it with some reluctance, put it into Chen Yuansi's hand, and said: "This jade pendant was given to me by my mother when I ascended the throne. I have kept it for two years, and I have never

Leave."

When Chen Yuansi heard her talk about the preciousness of the jade pendant, he refused. However, Ye Qinghuai forced the jade pendant into his hand and said: "When I saw this painting today, I suddenly felt that I had met a close friend. It is rare in life.

A close friend, Mr. Chen Ge. This jade pendant is used as a betrothal gift between me and the Chen family. If Mr. Chen Ge does not accept it, he will not allow this marriage."

Chen Yuansi didn't expect that Ye Qinghuai would suddenly relax about the marriage. He looked surprised and refused as hard as before.

"Your Majesty, I know that this jade pendant has been with Queen Mother Jingmin all my life. It is too valuable, and I really don't dare to accept it."

Ye Qinghuai said: "When my mother gave me this jade pendant back then, she asked me to give it to my queen in the future."

When Chen Yuansi heard this, a huge stone fell in his heart. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened completely, he knelt down, made a big salute, and said: "Old minister, I thank you for your kindness."

"Get up quickly. We will all be a family from now on." Ye Qinghuai helped Chen Yuansi up and said, "It's just that I am still observing filial piety, and the wedding must be postponed after the filial piety period. Even so, it is still possible to get engaged now.

.Now that the Ministry of Etiquette is under rectification, there is no room for it. When Chunwei is done with his busy schedule, I will ask the Ministry of Etiquette to take care of the engagement. What do you think, Mr. Chen Ge?"

This is indeed a compromise. Chen Yuansi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is wise and has thought carefully. However, Lao Chen is worried that the vacancy in the Ministry of Etiquette will not be filled for a while."

"Speaking of this matter, does Mr. Chen Ge have any suggestions for the candidate to be the Minister of Rites?" Ye Qinghuai followed his words and asked.

"The Ministry of Rites has always been controlled by Gu Shihai, and the veteran has little involvement. He does not know the details of the personnel in the Ministry of Rites. If Your Majesty wants to promote someone from the Ministry of Rites, it is better to ask him than to ask the veteran. But if Your Majesty wants to promote someone from another department,

If you want to transfer someone to take charge of the Ministry of Rites, I have several candidates here."

The topic of the wedding was over. Chen Yuansi and Ye Qinghuai talked about the issue of the Ministry of Etiquette and many matters in the court until the sun set.

It has to be said that as soon as the marriage was finalized, Chen Yuansi's attitude towards Ye Qinghuai changed a lot. It was true that one family no longer talked about two families.

Chen Yuansi has been in the cabinet for nearly ten years, and has controlled the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel all year round. The biographies of Manchu officials and the financial accounts of Da Jing are all stored in his mind. Ye Qinghuai benefited deeply from listening to his words.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Qinghuai stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something, and he might want to ask Chen Yuansi for advice.

"Mr. Chen Ge, I still have something unclear."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Ordinarily, Shi Taiping was recommended by Gu Shihai. Why didn't Gu Shihai protect him this time?"

Chen Yuansi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Gu Shihai scolded Shi Taiping in court that day?"

Ye Qinghuai nodded. Gu Shihai was furious at that time, and even Ye Qinghuai felt a little surprised.

"In my opinion, Shi Taiping did it secretly behind Gu Shihai's back. That's why the scene happened."

Chen Yuansi's words awakened Ye Qinghuai.

No wonder Gu Shihai fell out with him in court and didn't protect him at all afterwards. I'm afraid that in Gu Shihai's eyes, Shi Taiping was already a useless person with stiff wings.

"Did the rift between the two of them only arise this time?" Ye Qinghuai asked again.

"I don't know how they get along with each other. But Shi Taiping was a top talent in the Xingrui Dynasty, and he also served as secretary of a literary school. Selling an official position and getting a title was definitely not his original intention." Chen Yuansi sighed softly and pondered, "

But I once heard that he had a son who was fond of gambling and owed a lot of debts on the underworld."

Ye Qinghuai understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, saying: "That's it."

But no matter what he did, Gu Shihai would never be able to keep him again.

Of course, Ye Qinghuai couldn't tolerate him either.

Suffering is no excuse for degradation.
