After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

All the men in the Liyang Palace went to Dali to provide disaster relief. Fu Guiyun was busy taking care of her mother-in-law's illness and helping to transport food all day, so the concubines from various courtyards were exempted from paying their respects to the Chuxian Palace.

Han Nian was full of longing for the future. She asked Fu Guiyun for a few days off and went home to take care of her mother. Chu Huaixi had no one to bother her, and the whole house was very quiet.

However, the two letters from Xu Jinzhou and the Duke of Changguo's Mansion were sent to the palace, causing Emperor Hui to have a lot of worries for a while.

"Liu Cheng, this scum, has really brought shame upon me."

Emperor Hui was standing in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, having a tantrum. Before he had calmed down, the Empress and Princess Huaiyi rushed in anxiously.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for my cousin."

Queen Liu knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly: "My Liu family has devoted all our lives to Your Majesty, but Lu Linchu dared not take the Duke's mansion's prince seriously and wantonly committed violence and hurt people. If Your Majesty does not punish him severely, it will only damage Your Majesty's reputation."

"Do you still know that I have dignity?"

Emperor Hui threw the memorial in his hand fiercely in front of her: "Liu Cheng, that bastard, as the prince of the Duke's Mansion and a royal relative, did such a shameless thing. How dare you, the mother of a country, come to plead for him?"

Empress Liu picked up the memorial on the ground and read it roughly. She was immediately furious: "Xu Jinzhou must have been instigated by the Lu family to deliberately smear the Duke's Mansion. Your Majesty must not believe it."

Princess Huaiyi also echoed, "Yes, my brother, the letter from the Duke of Chang clearly stated that the daughter of the Han family was willing to have an affair with the Prince Liu, and Lu Linchu became jealous and took advantage of his power to hurt the Prince Liu."

"Jealous?"

Emperor Hui laughed, "No matter how bad the Han family girl is, she is still a loyal and brave descendant. The imperial sister also said that Liu Cheng had an affair with someone. Lu Linchu, that playboy, knows to treat others with courtesy as a brother and sister. Liu Cheng, as the son of the Duke's Mansion and a relative of the emperor, had an affair with someone and ruined his reputation. Has he learned all the knowledge of poetry, books and etiquette?"

These words left the eldest princess speechless.

Yes, Lu Linchu really did better than Liucheng in this regard.

She could only look at the queen helplessly and choose to shut up.

"Lu Linchu wanted to kill this scum of your Liu family. If Xu Jinzhou hadn't thought about him being your queen's cousin and only sentenced him to castration, that scum would have been beheaded long ago."

Emperor Hui was furious: "He has committed such an unforgivable act, he should have died long ago, but now the Queen is still accusing Xu Jinzhou of wrongdoing. I think you are unworthy of your position as the Queen, and you are unworthy of being the mother of the world."

"Your Majesty..."

Empress Liu suddenly felt guilty and was about to open her mouth to explain, but Emperor Hui angrily shouted, "Shut up."

Now is the time to go to war with Jiangzuo, so winning people's hearts is particularly important. Liucheng has brought disgrace to the royal family, and it would be fine if he really died. I can also take advantage of the situation to turn the situation around for him.

It is really disappointing that this guy is still shamelessly lingering on.

"The Great Kang Kingdom is protected by the lives of thousands of soldiers. I will never allow anyone to oppress the descendants of the loyal and good and make the soldiers feel disheartened."

Looking at Hu An, Emperor Hui said sternly: "Pass on my decree, demote the Duke of Changguo to the Marquis of Changsheng, and punish Liucheng with flogging for his lack of respect for the law of the land, and exile him to the north for three thousand miles."

The empress turned pale when she heard this, but before she could reprimand him, Emperor Hui pointed at her angrily and said, "The empress is not sure whether she is loyal or treacherous. She will be confined to Cuiting Palace for a month to reflect on her mistakes."

Princess Huaiyi felt that the punishment was too severe and wanted to plead for mercy, but was stopped by Emperor Hui. She could only watch the empress being taken out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

When the hall was quiet, Princess Huaiyi dared to speak again: "Royal brother, the Queen is your first wife after all, and the Liu family is her mother's family. If you really think Liu Cheng is wrong, just punish him. Why take your anger out on the Duke of Changguo?"

"What does the emperor know?"

Emperor Hui was impatient: "At this moment, I must not lose the support of the people of Jiangzuo, and I must not let the Liyang Palace complain about me. If I want to destroy them, I must first make them crazy. Now I would rather hold the father and son in my arms."

Princess Huaiyi had long hated the Lu family, especially that waste Lu Linchu. She felt even more uncomfortable since she learned that he had conquered Dali.

It turned out that this person had been acting the whole time, and he had deceived himself so badly.

"Since my brother is afraid of the Lu family, he should have made plans earlier. Why did he give Darong and Dali to the Lu family?"

She said dissatisfiedly: "I heard that the royal brother has secretly transferred the troops of the Kyoto South Camp to the southern border. Since he wants to eradicate the Lu family, why not order the general to join forces with the two uncles to directly wipe out the entire Jiangzuo?"

Emperor Hui frowned and thought deeply. His sister's words reminded him.

This old fellow Lu Chen is brave and good at fighting, and the Lu family army he leads is invincible. If the two imperial uncles fail, the general's 150,000 troops may not be enough to flatten Liyang City.

Especially now that the entire Dayong and Dali have been awarded to King Liyang.

Knowing that the princess knew Song Weizhao well, he still asked first: "Do you think the traitor Song Weizhao has the ability to return to Yundu?"

"Song Weizhao?"

Princess Huaiyi snorted with disdain: "Why would my brother worry about this man? He would sit back and watch his entire family being slaughtered and hide in the enemy country. He is a complete coward. How can he have the face to come back?"

I really overestimated him before. "My royal brother, there is no need to worry about this person anymore. Let him linger in the North for a while. The most important thing now is to get rid of the Lu family."

"What the emperor said is very true."

Emperor Hui smiled knowingly and no longer had any worries.

Now that we have made up our minds, we must burn our boats and resolve these major threats in the south first.

"I will now secretly order the 200,000 defenders of the camp in the north of the city to rush to the southern border."

As the Cui family girl was about to enter the capital, Emperor Hui narrowed his eyes sinisterly and said, "This time, I will eliminate the forces of the three kings in the southern border."

When the late emperor was alive, Princess Huaiyi disagreed with her father's decision to enfeoff three kings in the south. Now that her younger brother has such ambition, she is truly relieved.

"Then my sister hopes that my brother can realize his ambition soon."

The brother and sister smiled at each other, as if they had heard the good news coming from the south.

......

Han Nian had just returned to the palace from her mother's home when she heard that the Duke of Chang's mansion had been demoted and that bastard Liu Cheng had been exiled. She was happy in Shuhua Garden for several days.

But staying in the inner court for a long time was really depressing. It was not as free and easy as before in the Tanhua Courtyard. Without the order from the Crown Prince's Consort, one could not even leave the inner court.

The guards clearly recognized her face, but they acted as if they were blind and stopped her from leaving the inner court.

In desperation, she had to go to Chuxian Palace to ask for the Crown Prince's wife.

The New Year is just half a month away. As the grain in the city's granary is continuously transported to Dali, and the money, grain and cloth from Lu Youxi and Wangzhuang have not yet arrived in the city, Fu Guiyun is gradually becoming anxious.

However, Dali was still in chaos and a riot must not happen. She had to find a way to maintain it. She ordered Cheng Kui to send more people to try to transfer grain from the surrounding areas, and asked Huang Sheng to stabilize the grain prices in the city.

Under her full coordination, Cheng Kui and Hong Qian ordered people to open up several official roads that were not particularly damaged. They braved the wind and snow to bring back part of the annual tribute from Wangzhuang, and urgently transferred tens of thousands of shi of grain from the nearby Yejiazhuang and the county town. Only in this way did they stabilize the situation in the city.

After finishing everything, she was counting the account books in the palace accounting office when she saw Han Nian walk in with a sullen look on her face.

After bowing respectfully, Han Nian began to pester her and complain coquettishly.

"Princess, the New Year is coming soon. I want to go out and buy some New Year's goods for my mother. Is that okay with you?"

"Didn't you just come back from your mother's house a few days ago?"

Fu Guiyun put down the account book in his hand in annoyance and said, "How can a concubine of a royal family run back to her parents' home? If you don't know, you would think that the Liyang Palace can't afford to support a concubine."
