Following the words, a lady wearing luxurious palace clothes walked in from outside the palace.

Yan Ruoli met the Queen Mother for the first time and looked at her curiously.

The Queen Mother is in her 60s and looks a little younger than her actual age, as if she is around fifty.

She has an elegant temperament and a calm expression. Judging from her appearance, she must have been a beauty when she was young.

When she walked into the palace and saw Tuoba Duan lying on the ground, the Queen Mother's eyes showed pain.

She looked at Tuoba Feng sitting on the dragon chair again, and after a while, she sighed softly.

Ye Weiyun and Ye Linyuan came forward to greet them. Ye Weiyun specially pulled Yan Ruoli over and introduced him to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at Yan Ruoli and nodded gently.

"Sure enough, she is a strange woman. She is not inferior to men. When we first meet, I don't have anything good, so I will give you this as a meeting gift."

She took off a jade bracelet from her hand, took Yan Ruoli's hand and put it on her.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yan Ruoli thanked her, "Wei Yun has also prepared a gift for you and is about to send it to you."

"No need, I don't need anything anymore."

The Queen Mother's voice was calm, which made people feel that she had either suppressed all her emotions to the deepest part of her heart, or that she had no emotions at all.

Ye Linyuan said in a somewhat apologetic tone: "You saved us in the first place, and we didn't want to retaliate, but... no matter what, we did it, and you should blame us."

The Queen Mother shook her head.

"No need to apologize. Who can tell what is right and wrong? I have always known about the Tuoba family robbing the Ye family. I also know how much the Ye family has paid for the Tuoba family in the past generations. Duan'er shouldn't I should not accuse you of being suspicious of you. The end he has ended up in is also caused by himself. "

If Tuoba Duan had not suddenly attacked the Ye family, then the Ye family would still be working hard to protect the Tuoba family.

How could they rebel against the Tuoba family?

It was the villain Tuobaduan who came first, no one else is to blame.

Ye Weiyun said: "Empress Dowager, we are going to build a palace for you. Where do you think it is better to build it?"

"No need to build it."

The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at the dome of the deep palace with a distant look in her eyes.

"I didn't want to enter the palace back then, but I couldn't help myself. I thought I would die of old age in the palace and never be free. Now, I can finally make my own choice. I want to become a monk, and Baoqing'an outside the city is very close. good."

"The Empress Dowager..."

Ye Linyuan wanted to persuade, but the Queen Mother raised her hand to stop him.

"Stop talking, I've thought about it a long time ago. I'm deeply tired of life in this palace. In my later years, being able to accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns and find peace of mind is what I want in my heart."

Ye Weiyun and Ye Linyuan looked at each other.

Ye Linyuan said: "If you want to go to Baoqing'an for a while, we will send someone to take you there. If you change your mind one day, you can always come to us."

"Okay, thank you."

The Queen Mother took one last look at Tuobaduan lying on the ground, said nothing, turned around and went out.

Her steps are firm.

Ye Linyuan quickly sent someone to escort the Queen Mother.

Watching the Queen Mother go away, Ye Linyuan murmured: "I remember my father once told me that the first time he and the Queen Mother met was at Baoqing'an."

Yan Ruoli also heard Ye Weiyun say that the Queen Mother and her grandfather were once in love.

But in the end, she had no choice but to marry into the palace, and her grandfather married his grandmother.

When the Queen Mother went to Baoqing'an to become a monk, did she look away or not?

I am afraid that only the Queen Mother herself can answer this question.

Tuoba Duan and Tuoba Feng's father and son were dead, Tuoba Huan was also imprisoned in the dungeon, and the remaining officials dispersed.

Some surrendered to the Ye family, and some took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city and find another way out.

Ye's father and son and Yan Ruoli were busy cleaning up the mess and reorganizing the capital.

Officials in various ministries were re-appointed, and all military garrisons were replaced by Ye's army.

Ye Jia had been an official in the previous dynasty for many years and was very familiar with the officials in the dynasty. He knew who was available and who was not.

These matters were handled fairly smoothly.

Three full days passed, and order was finally restored in the capital.

A minister knelt down to Ye Linyuan and said: "The country cannot be without a master for a day. I sincerely ask the marshal to ascend the treasure to calm the people's hearts."

He made this move, and the other ministers knelt down one after another, asking Ye Linyuan to ascend the throne.

Jing Lingfeng and Xiao Zhi watched the show from a distance.

Jing Lingfeng whispered: "When the situation calms down, these sycophants will make trouble again."

Xiao Zhiyuan also dislikes people who follow others, but he can understand the situation at hand.

"They are not completely flattering. I know these people well. They are all useful talents and have good character. It is right for them to invite Marshal Ye to the throne."

Although he was far away from the capital and nestled in Nanzhou, he had a general understanding of the situation of these officials in the previous dynasty.

The officials who can be used by the Ye family should be no different.

Jing Lingfeng is also a person in the officialdom, so of course he understands and agrees with what he said.

"They're pretty good, but I still don't feel comfortable with the situation."

"What are your plans?" Xiao Zhiyuan asked.

Along the way, the two of them had similar temperaments and became good friends who talked about everything.

Jing Lingfeng said: "I prefer a military career. When things settle down here, I want to guard the border. What about you?"

Xiao Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I would like to go back to Nanzhou. Nanzhou is also considered a border gate, right? But Nanzhou today is different from the past."

Jing Lingfeng looked at the people in front and said, "Maybe I will be able to realize my wish soon."

Sure enough, Ye Linyuan in front said: "Now we are only stabilizing the capital. There are still many places in the country that have not been calmed down and are controlled by local forces and aristocratic families. When these hidden dangers are eliminated and the country is truly stable, we can talk about this matter .”

One minister said: "It is precisely because of the need to quell the chaos that it is even more important to ascend the throne as soon as possible so that he can issue an edict to the world and win over people's hearts."

"Yes, you should first ascend the throne and then quell the chaos, so that you can become famous." Another minister said.

The other ministers echoed the advice.

Ye Linyuan raised his hand and pressed it down to signal them to be quiet.

"I have made up my mind. First put an end to the chaos, and then talk about ascending the throne."

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the ministers had no choice but to follow his arrangements.

Jing Lingfeng stepped forward and asked for help.

"Marshal, Jing Lingfeng is willing to lead troops to quell the chaos."

Xiao Zhiyuan also hurriedly came forward to ask for instructions: "Marshal, Xiao Zhiyuan is also willing to lead troops to quell the chaos."

The two of them came all the way from Nanzhou to the capital. They wanted to have a big fight, but they ended up feeling lonely.

Many cities surrendered after hearing the news, and those who refused to surrender were basically eliminated by the musketeers.

They were both unhappy and wanted to actually have some fighting.

Ye Linyuan agreed.

Jing Lingfeng and Xiao Zhiyuan each led an army to quell the chaos.

The two of them wanted to compete.

After walking out of the palace gate, Jing Lingfeng said: "Brother Xiao, according to the Marshal's instructions, I will go east and you will go west. Let's compete to see who can clear up the chaos first."
