The Dragon's Families of Mountains and Rivers

Zhuyang Pavilion of Wangfu "...So, little master, you just ran away without making a sound?"

Yun De and Yun Jiu stood side by side, looking at each other, and when they looked carefully, they could even find the corners of their eyes twitching.

Yun Ghou took a sip of tea in a calm manner, and he did not look at all embarrassed when he fled in a hurry.

"Master, why are you running away!" Yunde suddenly jumped up and slapped his thigh, "I've been looking forward to it for so many years, isn't it just the day when the throne will be returned?! The emperor took the initiative to mention this matter, such a once-in-a-lifetime event Opportunity, why did you run away!?" "Yes, master, why do you..." Even Yun Jiu, who has always been calm, is a little bit impatient at the moment, but he is not like Yun De who has been with the master for many years. He knew his master's temperament very well, and he had no scruples in his speech and behavior. Although his face was anxious, he hesitated when he said something, for fear of breaking the rules of master and servant.

Yun Wei didn't care much, "Uncle Jiu might as well speak up if he has something to say."

Seeing that the master's expression was the same, Yun Jiu said bluntly, "Master, this old slave knows that this matter is of great importance and involves a lot, and in your capacity, you can't take the initiative to violate the emperor's taboo to mention this matter, but now, the emperor Take the initiative to mention the return of the throne, why not push the boat along?"

"Yes! Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my master, what are you thinking about?" Yunde was so anxious that he hurriedly turned around.

"A few years ago, you were too young to take the throne and become the target of public criticism. After the New Year's Eve, you will be sixteen years old. Although there are rules for succession to the crown, the emperor can take the initiative to promise this. With his wrist Being kind and capable, it is natural to block the mouths of Youyou, if that is the case, why should there be any scruples?"

Since the death of the first king and concubine in the palace, the only remaining master in the palace is the infant son. These years, the people in the palace kept a low profile and did not want to cause troubles in Dayin's eventful autumn. Just don't worry about it.

The only king with a different surname in the Dayin Dynasty is too enviable.

If it weren't for the power accumulated by the Yun family for generations, the only remaining blood of the Yun family would have been cut off long ago, for all the filth that has been exposed and hidden in the past few years?

"Yes! Master, what are you so worried about?"

Yun Wei sighed slightly, and raised his finger to point to the sky.

Seeing his gesture, Yun Jiu was startled, "Master, you mean..."

"Scrupulous ass, who else is there besides the master who can turn his hands into clouds and rain his hands?" In the past few years, Yunde's temper was so hot that he almost exploded at a single point. He was straightforward and straightforward, and he didn't have so many twists and turns in his heart.

Yun Jiu glared at Yun De, "Yun De, speak carefully."

"Be careful what you say?! You have been aggrieved for so many years, and now you have to be careful when you say a word?" Yun De almost jumped to his feet and scolded angrily. Nine glared at him.

"I have to be cautious in what I say in this mansion?!" Yun De almost yelled.

Yun Jiu hated iron but steel, "So what about the mansion? Be careful that the walls have ears! You still think our palace is not eye-catching enough, and it's not enough to make people want to get rid of it?!"

Yun De, "..." He glanced sideways at Yun Wai, who was sitting upright, and shut his mouth embarrassingly.

"master."

"It's embarrassing for all uncles." Yun Wai felt a little touched, but also a little sad.

"I dare not be an old slave!" Hearing this uncle, Yun Jiu waved his hands again and again, "Master, this is a disgrace to this old slave. This old slave is ashamed and dare not be an uncle. This old slave is responsible for the princess of the past." Please, let the master suffer so much in the bitter cold of the northwest..." As he spoke, Yun Jiu's eyes turned red.

"Uncle Jiu..." Yun Gai felt helpless, "If the father, queen and concubine were still alive, they would also send Yun Gie to the army to grow up and experience training. Why do you have to suffer so much?" None of the sons of the Yun family were in the army. Grown up in pampering!

"But it's not such an experience..."

"What's the difference? In the Northwest these years, I haven't been treated harshly at all. The Northwest is where our Yun family's direct descendants are. This is already the safest place. Why is Uncle Jiu still so bitter?"

Speaking of this, Yun Ghou suddenly froze for a moment, remembering what the emperor said in the palace before...

At that time, the situation in the world was turbulent, King Qi rebelled, the crown prince was assassinated, the first emperor suddenly entered the sky, the crisis was on the verge of breaking out, and the world was at the critical juncture of rekindling the flames of war at any time. There is also a looming trend of turmoil. In this situation, Xuan Zhan, the third son of the emperor, was enthroned as emperor by the last emperor.

At such a critical moment, the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to send him to the northwest.

The Northwest Army is a direct descendant of the Yun family, known throughout the world.

No matter how chaotic the world is, as the only blood of the Yun family, he will be safe and sound in the army.

Knowing the relationship, the emperor still sent him to the northwest without hesitation...

"And, Uncle Jiu, I am not referring to Your Majesty."

"what?!"

"What?!"

Yun Wei's words stunned the two loyal servants of the Yun family who had been writhing in blood and fire for half their lives.

"Master, you are..."

Yun Wei motioned for the two of them to sit down, "Your Majesty probably has no intention of disturbing the Yun family."

"Why did master say that?" Yun Jiu was puzzled.

"I'm afraid His Majesty knows everything about the Xuan Tie Army well."

"what?!"

When Yun Wai said that, both Yun Jiu and Yun De's expressions changed drastically, "How could he know such a secret thing?!"

Yun Ghou shook his head, signaling them to stay calm, "I received a secret report from Qingque, that the Black Tie Army that escorted me to the northwest was only dispatched after receiving a secret order from the Black Tie."

"Mysterious iron secret order?!"

"I inherited the position of Patriarch at the age of 12, and only then did I have the Iron Mysterious Order to mobilize half of the Black Iron Army's strength. Before that, even though I was the only blood of the Yun family, I was still unable to mobilize the Black Iron Army. If I guessed correctly, the Black Iron Secret Order , should be the same as the Tiexuan Secret Order, only by becoming the head of the family can you be qualified to mobilize the Xuan Tie Army, the Xuan clan, who can become the head of the family, besides His Majesty, who else has the ability?"

"How could it be?! Didn't it mean that the Xuantie secret decree will not be passed on to the reigning emperor?!" Yunde's tiger eyes almost fell into the sockets, and the eyeballs that were about to burst were red.

Yun Jiu's heart was pounding like thunder, "No one has mastered this mysterious order for decades. From Lord Yunyi to the late king, the black iron army that can be mobilized is only half of the iron mysterious order. If the Xuan's secret order is in the hands of the emperor , this..." The emperor who is in charge of the power of the world controls half of the strength of the Black Tie Army, so...the Yun family lost even the last amulet.

"Uncle Jiu, it's not if."

When Yun Jiu heard this, her heart was completely cold.

"The emperor is..."

"He won't overthrow the Yun family. If he really wanted to do something, he would have done it more than ten years ago."

Although it is a family banquet, there are many red tapes in the royal family banquet, and the rules cannot be broken in the slightest.

Xuan Zhan didn't like such an occasion, but he had to go through the motions.

The New Year's Eve family banquet is the only day in the year when everyone in the harem can eat with the emperor. On weekdays, the emperor is busy with political affairs, so it is rare for the emperor to set foot in the harem. People, looking forward to it day and night, are looking forward to the arrival of His Majesty's holy car.

They finally looked forward to the day when they could meet each other. Naturally, they all dressed up charmingly in order to win His Majesty's favor, win the Emperor's heart in one fell swoop, and look forward to the supreme favor.

The banquet began at the end of Shen Shi and the beginning of You Shi, and His Majesty always waited for the time to arrive.

"His Majesty is here!"

The loud singing sounded outside the hall, and the people inside the hall who were waiting to meet him got up and knelt down to greet His Majesty the Emperor.

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

Entering the palace, Xuan Zhan frowned indistinctly, and then resumed his usual calm indifference, "Excuse me, let's get back together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xuan Zhan stepped onto the dragon chair, "Today is a family banquet, there is no need to be formal, let's all sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

From the queen down, they all took their seats cautiously.

Xuan Zhan raised his eyes and looked at Zhang who was sitting at the end of the four concubines. Thinking of the man who ran as fast as possible, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, making an exception and asked, "It's also a while for Concubine De to enter the palace. It’s getting old, but are you still used to it?”

The emperor suddenly made a sound, Concubine De was not the only one who was overly frightened, everyone sitting there was startled, and when they looked sideways, envy was already in their eyes, and jealousy was hidden in their eyes.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is nothing unaccustomed to my concubine." Zhang suppressed the panic in his heart, got up and was blessed, and replied with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, "Just get used to it." I was afraid that you would not be used to it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Xuan Zhan smiled and motioned her to sit down, "Sit down. This year is your first New Year's Eve in the palace, and you are allowed to go out to visit your relatives."

Pregnant?Of course it is necessary, you are thinking about the person on my heart, it is really difficult for me not to worry about it.

"what?!"

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback by the emperor's words, her eyes widened in astonishment.

There were gasps one after another, and the jealousy in the eyes of everyone in the harem could no longer be concealed.

"The matter of visiting relatives will be handled by the queen." In a simple sentence, His Majesty the emperor just moved his mouth on this matter, but it is a great grace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't suppress the surge in her heart, and Xie En's voice was trembling.When kneeling on the ground, the sound of knocking on the blue bricks was crisp.

Even if she knew that the emperor's casual confession would make her a thorn in the side of all the concubines in the harem, but so what?She can leave the palace, it is enough for her to step out of this palace gate!

I heard that that person has returned to Beijing...

"Yes, the courtiers and concubines lead the decree." The queen got up, smiled and blessed the emperor, her face was a little stiff, but she concealed it very well and didn't show it at all.

"Okay, let's all take our seats."

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand indifferently, and when the corners of his eyes caught those knife-like gazes, the smile in the Emperor's eyes became real.

Xuanhuang had three sons, the crown prince was the eldest, and died in a rebellion, the second son of the emperor was mediocre, he had no talent for governing the country and no ability to secure the country, he was not big-hearted, he was named king early, and enjoyed the joy of worry-free.Xuanzhan, the third son of the emperor, ascended the throne as emperor.

The former emperor's brothers and sisters did not have many heirs, and the direct royal family was naturally not very large.The other collateral clans are naturally not eligible to enjoy the feast of His Majesty the Emperor.

Xuan Zhan just goes through the motions every year, sits and talks for a while, and is not going to continue to sit patiently.

"I'm tired, go ahead."

After drinking two cups of hot tea and a glass of wine, His Majesty the Emperor didn't even touch the chopsticks.

"Farewell to Your Majesty." The queen hid the sadness in her eyes, got up and sent the emperor off.

Today is thirty, in the middle of January, the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is the queen's exclusive bedtime day, all year round, New Year's Eve also belongs to the queen of the palace, but after so many years, she has never expected the emperor For those staying in the middle palace, she even has nowhere to sue, because His Majesty the Emperor will stay in the Taiji Hall on this day, and will not stay in her middle palace, nor will she invite other concubines to sleep with her. .

The Empress Dowager worshiped Buddha in Daci Temple all the year round, and never set foot in the court, even on New Year's Eve, she never cared about common affairs.Many people don't even know that there is also a queen mother in Dayin Dynasty.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor and his men stepped out of the palace gate, Concubine De was almost sieved by the eyes of all the concubines.

She sat down without pain, and silently ate her meal.

"Concubine De is so lucky. Your Majesty is so gracious, and Concubine De is a voter in this palace."

"No, back then, I didn't have such a blessing, even though I was the concubine Chen..."

"Concubine De is very lucky, who will let her have a good father?"

"That's right, Sister Defei, tell me, how did you win His Majesty's heart? Let my younger sisters follow suit..."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, it really was such an ending.

But so what?She was already desperate.

But...but...

"Quan'an, what do you think the son is doing now?" After leaving the tower, the sky was already a bit dark, Xuan Zhan slid the string of beads as smooth as jade with his fingertips, and his eyes fell on the roof of the palace in the distance, a little far away.

"It must be around the fire with everyone in the mansion."

"Fire?"

"That's right, we call it a family banquet in the palace, but some ordinary people call this family banquet on New Year's Eve a round-the-stove, which means drinking and eating around the stove to keep warm." Quan An explained simply and straightforwardly.

"Around the stove?"

"Yes."

Xuan Zhan narrowed his eyes, "It's safe."

"The slave is here."

"Prepare the car, I'm leaving the palace."

"what?!"
