Chapter 1281 His Majesty is very uneasy

It's difficult to be a person with a clear conscience.

Often, when you are doing something, you can only say to yourself: This time, I have a clear conscience.

Yun Chu could have said this this time, but later he felt that it was unnecessary. Even if he said it, even if the gods and ghosts in heaven and earth knew his intention, it would be useless if people didn't know.

Therefore, he decided that even if he died unjustly, he would never complain.

It's what you want to do, and you have to bear the consequences, whether good or bad.

Making such a grand wish under the vast starry sky could easily attract the attention of the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, so in the second half of the night, dark clouds covered the starry sky and heavy rain poured down.

It was beyond Yun Chu's expectation that a team of more than 100,000 people suddenly encountered such a situation and did not scatter in the open wilderness. However, everyone wanted to squeeze into the tent, so more than a hundred people instantly entered the tent of Yun Chu and his wife.

Because most of the people coming in were women, Yun Chu had to leave the tent and walk into the heavy rain. Yu Xiurong was very happy and kept accepting greetings from the women. She could now be regarded as a leading figure in the Chang'an women's world.

Yu Xiurong knew that what her husband was doing was actually very dangerous, but it was at this dangerous moment that she stood firmly behind her husband and helped him deal with things that were inconvenient for him to handle.

This is the case with the women before us.

They definitely didn't just come to their tent to take shelter from the rain.

After thinking of a countermeasure, Yu Xiurong said with a smile: "If we can successfully welcome His Majesty back to Chang'an this time, we will be the heroes of Chang'an..."

Yun Chu stood outside the tent, Yin Erhu holding an umbrella for him. He listened to his wife making promises to those noble ladies inside. He couldn't help laughing. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

The rain was heavy, accompanied by thunder and lightning. When the ground and the sky were covered with water, hundreds of thousands of people were still hiding under shelters, quietly waiting for dawn, because everyone knew that the stronger the storm, the less likely it would last.

Even in such bad weather, there was still a team of people moving slowly forward in the heavy rain.

Wu Mei was not sleepy at all. Listening to the sound of heavy rain outside the carriage, she muttered to herself, "Is my hope so unacceptable to heaven and earth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud thunder sounded in his ears, and then there was a commotion outside the carriage.

Nanny Chun climbed into the carriage and trembled as she said to Wu Mei, "Six soldiers were killed by lightning."

Wu Mei raised her eyebrows slightly and said indifferently: "Keep going."

Nanny Chun paused for a moment, and seeing that the queen had no intention of changing her mind, she climbed out of the carriage again. After a moment, the team that had stopped moving continued to move forward.

Lightning flashed continuously, occasionally illuminating Wu Mei's cold face.

She really didn't understand why Yun Chu suddenly did this when it was most beneficial to him and even Chang'an.

This was extremely irrational. Wu Mei thought about it carefully for most of the night but still couldn't figure out Yun Chu's purpose in doing this.

The power triangle of the Tang Dynasty, namely the emperor, the empress and the prince, has been stable for many years. Now it depends on whose body can no longer bear it. At this point, there is no doubt that the emperor will be the first to collapse. Once this point collapses, the Tang Dynasty will usher in a dual power system, that is, the prince will become the emperor and she will become the empress dowager.

Moreover, this trend is unlikely to change at present.

Yun Chu is a powerful official. All knowledgeable people in the world can see clearly that whenever power is unified, it is also the most dangerous time for the powerful official. What a powerful official wants is to disperse power, so that he can walk between two or three things with ease.

At this time, it is really incomprehensible to offend the prince and her for a dying emperor.

In the process of ascending the throne, Wu Mei believed that even if Yun Chu was very kind to Crown Prince Li Hong, Li Hong would never forgive his behavior which was almost like betrayal.

How kind was Changsun Wuji to Li Zhi? It could be said that Changsun Wuji personally helped him ascend the throne. But what happened? Wasn't he strangled to death by the soldiers on the Shu Road in the end?

Wu Mei didn't believe that Yun Chu, with his intelligence, would not see this.

The emperor would die no matter what, and, just recently, both the imperial physician and the medical masters invited from the public had confirmed this clearly.

Even after the old immortal diagnosed the emperor's pulse for the last time, he never went to Jiucheng Palace to diagnose the emperor again.

All of this indicates one thing - the emperor is dying. The bombardment of Chang'an City was the emperor's final madness caused by his inability to vent his anger. The beating of Yun Jin further showed that the emperor's resentment had reached the point where he had nowhere to vent. As for the fact that he used the back of the knife instead of the blade to chop the giant bear, it proved that the emperor's state of mind had completely collapsed.

As long as they continue to provoke the emperor, as long as he keeps killing people without reason, when the emperor kills people to the point of angering heaven and man, both the prince and she can naturally get the power that belongs to them.

Yun Chu's sudden action disrupted everyone's plans and put both the prince and her in an extremely embarrassing situation. If people in the world knew that the prince, the emperor's son, and the queen, the emperor's wife, wished the emperor would die soon... both the prince and she, the queen, would lose the basis for continuing to hold power.

"Yun Chu, what on earth are you going to do?"

Wu Mei sighed, and at a certain moment, she began to doubt whether what she did was right...

When Nanny Chun climbed into the carriage again, Wu Mei looked at her raised buttocks with disgust and raised her foot to kick her off. When her foot was about to touch Nanny Chun's flattering face, she suddenly stopped and said to Nanny Chun, "Ride a fast horse immediately and go to Yun Chu's camp to ask him what he wants to do."

Nanny Chun looked pitifully at the dark and stormy night and waited for a moment. Seeing that the queen had no intention of changing her mind, she turned around and climbed down from the carriage. However, this time, her wet dress left a water stain on the red carpet of the carriage, which made the red color no longer dazzling, but black, like a streak of blood.

"How will Yunchu's men survive such a rainy night?"

Li Zhi, who was awakened by the thunder, leaned lazily on the giant bear and asked the eunuch He Chun.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Those people will not disperse, and Yun Chu will definitely come to Jiucheng Palace."

"What is Xue Rengui doing?"

"Your Majesty, the general has just finished his inspection in the rain and has returned to the army to rest."

"Let Yun Jin inspect it again."

He Chun was shocked when he heard this and whispered, "Why not let the prince go to inspect it?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Let Yun Jin go..."

He Chun sighed secretly and went to find Yun Jin to pass on the message.

Naha is not afraid of thunder and lightning at all. On the contrary, she likes such scenes a little. Since she was very young, she sat in her eldest brother's arms to watch the lightning and thunder in the Western Regions. Every time she encountered such a scene, she could get a story that made her happy.

Li Hong leaned in Naha's arms with his chest naked. Lightning illuminated his face again and again. He was not afraid of lightning and thunder because his master told him that this was just an ordinary weather change. It was caused by the friction between two clouds with different charges colliding with each other and generating electricity.

It's the same principle as the sparks produced when a glass stick is rubbed against fur.

"Over the vast sea, the winds rolled up the dark clouds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, the seagulls flew proudly like black lightning.

Sometimes its wings touched the waves, and sometimes it rushed towards the dark clouds like an arrow, shouting - and in the bird's brave shouts, the dark clouds heard joy.

In this cry - full of desire for the storm! In this cry, the dark clouds heard the power of anger, the flame of passion and the confidence of victory..."

Listening to Naha reciting this passage in a court aria, Li Hong looked up at Naha's round chin and whispered, "I only heard Haiyan's fear from the bottom of her heart. There was no bravery, no fearlessness, only deep fear.

Only fear can make Haiyan fight against the dark clouds, strong winds and waves. To be honest, it is all forced. No one would give up a good life and fight like a self-abuse. Fighting is generally the work of desperate people. "

Naha said: "The seagulls, sea ducks, and penguins behind will feel afraid when facing a storm, but the petrels are not."

Li Hong sighed and said, "Master has been in the Gobi Desert since he was born. He has never seen any other sea except the East China Sea. Whether it is the petrel, the sea duck, or the strange penguin, they are all just things imagined by Master.

Only those who have seen the sea know how terrifying it is. "

"Brother also said that there are countless treasures on the sea."

"We haven't even harvested all the wealth on land yet, so why risk going to the sea?"

Naha tapped Li Hong's head with her round chin and said, "When the wealth on land is harvested, I will send people to the sea to find my wealth. So, I am the sea swallow, and you are the sea duck and the stupid penguin."

Li Hong dotingly played with Naha's soft and boneless hands and said, "Okay, okay, you are an indestructible sea swallow, and I am a cowardly sea duck."

Seeing the lightning and thunder fading away, Li Hong was just about to regroup and have a good sleep when a eunuch in black walked into his bedroom and put a note in the hand of Crown Prince Li Hong.

After reading it, Li Hong felt a surge of anger in his heart. He crumpled the note in his palm, turned back and gave Naha an ugly smile, saying, "You take a good rest. I'll go outside and take a look."

Naha looked at Li Hong's hurriedly leaving back and whispered: "The older you get, the more boring it becomes."

After leaving the bedroom, Li Hong said coldly to the black-robed eunuch: "Is the Secretary General inspecting the military camp?"

The black-robed eunuch said, "Your Majesty is very uneasy, very uneasy."
