Chapter 217 Competition

"What are you talking about? Are you going to Xizhao?" Empress Dowager Shu looked at Wen Caiqing in consternment.

Queen Su opened her eyes in disbelief. What's wrong with this woman? Hearing that protons were to be sent to Xizhao, all the women in the harem were in danger and came up with various ways to escape. If you have a child that makes your child sick and you don't have a child, such as Qin Guifei will make you sick. But this woman, who she thought would come up with a smarter way to escape, actually asked herself to be a proton? Did the sun come out from all directions?

"Yes, Empress Dowager, who has been in the palace for so long, asked herself that she has made no contribution to the emperor and the Taici country. Now the emperor is making it difficult for the selection of protons. He is restless about sleeping and eating. Cai Qing wants to share his worries for the emperor and give a contribution to the people of the world!"

Wen Caiqing's tone was light, but it sounded particularly sincere, which made Empress Dowager Shu's eyes turn red. "Everyone else avoid it, but you have to recommend yourself to Xizhao... I didn't expect that you are such a good child who takes care of the overall situation and understands the general situation. With your words, my family is very happy. Child, you don't have to go to Xizhao, just let your family go.

Anyway, my family is old, and I have nothing to worry about except the emperor. The emperor will take care of you, and the family can go there at ease. The mourning family is the empress dowager of a country. Can't it set off his only daughter of the emperor of Xizhao..."

Empress Su and Wen Caiqing were scared to hear what she said, so they got up and knelt down together, "Empress Dowager, you must not say that. Hundreds of good filial piety is the first, and the emperor is the example of the people in the world. How can he send his mother to a foreign country? Isn't that be laughed at by the people all over the world? If the people follow suit, it will be the emperor's wrong to govern the country. Do you want the emperor to become an unfilial and unfaithful person?

"Don't say anything. Concubine Li has this idea about the emperor's country. As the emperor's biological mother, how can she be indifferent and do her best when she sees her son in embarrassment? My family has made up his mind, so don't persuade him!" Empress Dowager Shu closed her eyes resolutely, and she would not listen to anyone who persuaded her.

Empress Su and Wen Caiqing panicked and hurriedly sent someone to invite Jiang Shize.

Jiang Shize hurried to Shou'an Palace and saw the queen and Princess Li kneeling in front of the empress dowager. He was very surprised, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, please persuade the Empress Dowager to go to Xizhao as a proton!" Empress Su hurriedly reported, "My concubine and sister Li have been persuading me for a long time, but the Empress Dowager can't listen to anything..."

"What?!" Jiang Shize's face was dark and gloomy. He had no intention of accepting Xi Zhao's proposal and preparing to go on an expedition. However, those old ministers couldn't do it on the left and the right, and they couldn't make a decision for a long time. However, at this time, the old lady came to make trouble again? Isn't this the way for those old immortals?

"Mother, why do you suffer so?" He suppressed his troubled mood and came forward to persuade him kindly, "Ordinary men can do their best to deal with things at home and try their best not to burden his wife and children. My son is the king of a country, and he will try to deal with national affairs. How can he not be as good as ordinary people? So what face does the emperor have to face the people of Li people?

Empress Dowager Shu opened her eyes leisurely and sighed, "Your Majesty, because you are the king of a country, many things are involuntarily, and how can they be compared with ordinary men? When my family is old, I have no talent and no virtue all my life. This is the only thing I can do for the emperor and our benevolent country before I die. Just let theai jia go, so that theai jia will have the face to see your father under the nine springs!"

"Mother..." Jiang Shize saw for the first time that his mother was so resolute and secretly anxious. Because of the rumor that the emperor took his wife, he could not get close to his father from the beginning, and even hated the father who gave him such a shame. Perhaps in order to make up for the lack of father-son affection, he doubled his proximity to his mother. Although he has always been known for his viciousness and determination, he is very filial to his mother.

How can he let his old mother go to a foreign country and die alone? This is something he can't tolerate under any circumstances.

His eyes were awesome, "Mother, you don't have to do any protons. I will order you to send troops to fight and destroy Xizhao!"

When Empress Dowager Shu heard what he said, she was immediately anxious, "Your Majesty, it's impossible. This battle can't be fought. Once the war with Xizhao is started, the lives will be lost, the people of Lebanon will be displaced, and the world will be unstable, which will shake the root of the country. Never, never..."

"It's just a small Xi Zhao, why be afraid? My Taici country is also a great country. How can I be led by it? Jiang Shize had made up his mind and turned his head and ordered, " Lou Ming, immediately summon the minister of the court to listen to the order in Zhaoyang Hall!"

"This..." Lou Ming hesitated.

"Your Majesty, you can't!" Empress Dowager Shu got up from the chair anxiously, bent her knees and knelt down, "I beg the emperor to take back my life for the people of Li!"

Jiang Shize was shocked, "Mother, what are you doing?" He hurried forward to help him, "Mother, please get up quickly. Aren't you going to break the evil minister and let the minister be struck by God?"

"If you don't take back your life, your family will kneel down here!" Empress Dowager Shu was cruel.

"Mother, why do you have to force your children like this?" Jiang Shize saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he also ploped and knelt in front of Empress Dowager Shu. The palace people in the room saw that all the upper hall had knelt down, and they didn't dare to stand. They all knelt down.

Wen Caiqing saw that the mother and son were deadlocked, knelt down and moved forward two steps, and kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty, it is not a wise to start a war. It will only hurt people and hurt money and mourn everywhere. Empress Dowager, you are the empress dowager of a country. The emperor's biological mother, and you can't be a proton in public or private. Let Caiqing go to Xizhao as a proton, which is the best solution!"

"Wen Caiqing, shut up!" Jiang Shize stared at him fiercely.

"Your Majesty..." Wen Caiqing kowtowed again and said earnestly, "You are the king of a country and the parents of the people of the world. Do you have the heart to let countless people fall into trouble because of the war? One concubine can be exchanged for peace in the world and happiness of the people, which is the best strategy. Please think twice!"

Empress Dowager Shu listened and sighed more and more, "Your Majesty, a woman saved the benefits of this. Why do you insist on it? You are the emperor. How can you miss the world's major events because of your love for children? Wouldn't that be a faint king?"
