System, help me be an empress

Chapter 49 The Empress Dowager Returns to Beijing
Two more days passed.

Xu Youxi received the news that the carriages of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager had arrived outside the gate of Shangjing City.The confidentiality work of this trip was done very well. Although the journey was far away, nothing happened on the way.

Before Xu Youxi changed clothes and came out of the palace to greet him, Jin Yiwei handed over new news, saying that the empress dowager directed the carriage to Beijing and went straight to Xu Shengshi's temporary residence in Shangjing.

The news that came back next was even stranger.

——The carriage of the Empress Dowager Xie Xixi entered the capital gate, but the Empress Dowager ordered someone to pick some wicker by the river, especially emphasizing the need for the hard and durable ones.

"..."

Anyway, Xu Youxi was sweating from the fright of the news.

Mother, domestic violence is not advocated!
Wearing a yellow robe, Xu Youxi paced back and forth in the Imperial Study Room, pondering over and over, should she first exchange for an invulnerable armor and put it on in advance, and then use her years of training as an emperor's excellent acting skills to scream miserable, so as to vent her anger on Xie Xixi?

——The Queen Mother Xie Xixi arrived at Xu Shengshi's residence in the carriage, and she knocked on the door vigorously with her hand. After waiting for a long time, no one opened the door, so she called the guards to knock the door open, only then did she see the confusion in the room It looks like Xu Shengshi.

——Empress Dowager Xie Xixi was chasing Xu Shengshi around with a willow stick.

The above is the information that Jin Yiwei followed.

Xu Youxi breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he didn't come to beat me.

"Did the Empress Dowager say that she... beat the emperor, Xu Shengshi, why?" Xu Youxi coughed a few times and asked.

"The Empress Dowager did not say so."

Xu Youxi hurriedly changed her clothes, not forgetting to put on an extra soft armor inside, and then nervously went to greet her at the gate of the palace.

Empress Dowager Xie Xixi just got out of the carriage when she saw Xu Youxi who had been sent to the south of the Yangtze River when she was a child. She had grown up so much that she couldn't control her tears and hugged Xu Youxi while calling "my son".

Xu Youxi: I have imagined thousands of endings of being beaten, but I have never thought about the drama of confessing relatives!

Xie Xixi is covered with snow-white fur, and her fair face is like a peach blossom in full bloom. It seems that time has never existed on Xie Xixi. Ten years have been like a day, and she is a girl with just the right color.

"Mother's Queen." Xu Youxi hugged Xie Xixi comfortingly, and Xu Ling, the Jin Yiwei who was standing beside him, had a very good look, and immediately stole all the willow sticks on the carriage, and quickly threw them away.

"Youxi, quickly tell mother how you have been in Jiangnan for the past ten years, and have you suffered any hardships?" Xie Xixi really cried, her slender eyelashes were wet, which made her more beautiful By the way, "By the way, ask someone to move your father down to listen to it together. We talked about you every day in Shangjing. Your illness has been good and bad over the years. How many times has my mother woke up in a dream? I am afraid that we will not be reunited." that day."

In order not to be urged to return to Shangjing, Mr. Jiang and Xu Youxi had to band together and pretend to be sick from time to time.The Eldest Princess would go to the south twice a year because she was concerned about the consort who was guarding the border. Each time she went for about half a year, she was unable to take care of the affairs of the family under normal circumstances.

"I'm all cured."

At this time, Jin Yiwei was moving the soft chair where the Supreme Emperor was sitting in the carriage. The Supreme Emperor, who had a stiff expression, also shed tears after seeing Xu Youxi.

"It's enough to recover from illness, and it's enough to be free from disasters and illnesses. Mother came back all the way, and heard the common people praising you on the way, saying that Youxi is a good emperor. Mother is very happy to hear that!" The queen mother Xie Xi said. He didn't mention Xu Shengshi's matter, but just took Xu Youxi's hand and talked to her non-stop, as if he could never finish talking.

"How is your father's illness?"

Speaking of this, Xie Xixi felt a little distressed again: "It's much better than before, and I can recognize people, and he understands when you talk to him. It's just that he can't speak, and he can't move."

"That means it's developing in a good direction, and it will get better." Xu Youxi has already exchanged the medicine for curing the disease, and plans to use it for Emperor Chongjiu step by step.

Xie Xixi looked at Xu Youxi seriously for a long time, wishing to make up for all the memories she owed over the years, and finally burst out laughing: "Youxi looks good in a dragon robe."

Driven by Xie Xixi's joy, Xu Youxi also felt better.

"Mother's queen..." Seeing that Xie Xixi didn't mention Xu Shengshi's matter, Xu Youxi couldn't hold back, "I demoted the emperor to a commoner, and I know that you will feel sad if you do this, but the emperor made a mistake. After all, I have given him a chance, but there is really no way."

Xu Youxi lowered her eyes, but her tone was firm.

"That kid Xu Shengshi is a fool!" Xie Xixi hugged Xu Youxi and whispered in her ear, "Do you know why mother beat him?"

Xu Youxi shook his head.

"Because he knew that you were planning to defend the capital city, and he asked the gatekeepers to open the city gate to let the Oirat cavalry in. Mother beat him to tell him that when a man is a man, he should either not say a word, or he should say a word. He Since you swore to protect your sister, why did you shrink back and backtrack at the moment of life and death?" Xie Xixi had a mocking expression on her face, she almost lost her two children, "Youxi, you can blame him, but don't Hate him. If it wasn’t for Wala’s sudden request that Daqian follow Datang’s example and send the princess to marry him, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to fight with your imperial brother’s weak character.”

Xu Youxi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that everything made sense.

It also included Xu Shengshi's disappointed and complicated eyes when he saw himself for the last time.

……

Xu Youxi simply accompanied Xie Xixi for a while, and then hid back in the imperial study room under the pretext of reviewing the memorial.

Xu Youxi felt a little uncomfortable, and sighed: "Since ancient times, there have been many relatives who have denied the emperor, and I still can't cultivate."

But Xu Youxi gradually calmed down, and looked at Liang Ding: "During the border battle, there were 40 to 5000 cavalry in Oirat, but there were 40 elite soldiers in Dagan, of which [-] were from the Shenji Battalion, and they were fully equipped with firearms. The result was [-] elite soldiers The entire army was wiped out, which shows how useless the commander of the battle is, and the innocent sacrifices are clearly caused by man."

Xu Youxi claimed to be a smart person, but she was almost taken in by Xie Xixi's unintentional words.

Why did she attribute the root cause of "Xu Shengshi's command error that caused 40 soldiers to die on the battlefield" to "to prevent the princess from marrying in Wala"?
First, follow the precepts from the ancestors.

No marriage, no tribute, no vassal, no land.

Regardless of whether Xu Shengshi is his imperial brother or not, as long as he has the instructions from his ancestors, he should not agree to the request for marriage.

Second, Dagan refused to make a marriage, so did Wala take the initiative to attack Dagan?

not at all.

On the contrary, it was Xu Shengshi's initiative to propose the imperial conquest first. Didn't he have the idea of ​​imitating his ancestors and achieving the military exploits of "sealing wolves and living in Xuxu"?

Thirdly, which idiot is commanding the battle, and can forcefully lose all games in a game that is sure to win!

So?

In the end, let a person who didn't know what happened from the beginning to the end feel guilty about whether he was the chief culprit of this battle? !
Xu Youxi figured it out, Xu Shengshi was still to blame for this matter, he did something wrong, why was he not even willing to repent, why should he feel guilty for him?

Thinking about it this way, Xu Youxi recruited Jin Yiwei and told them not to subsidize Xu Shengshi's money from today onwards. If he is short of money, he will arrange hard work for him, and save the money to subsidize the families of the martyrs who died in battle. Isn't it good!
You say you don't understand human suffering, then learn it unforgettable.

　Happy, I caught several chasing ones yesterday!
