dim lights

The emperor died of illness, King Xuan came to power, Emperor Zhaolie's exiled prince returned to the court, but overnight, Kyoto was no longer the original Kyoto.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty stood on the golden palace where they usually go to court, with their heads lowered. No one dared to face Qi Shiyu and Shen Tingyun standing directly in front of the dragon chair. Everyone was harboring ulterior motives.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, the country will not be the country!" The upright and old-fashioned old grand master was the first to stand up and break the silence in the court hall, and angrily rebuked the rebellious King Xuan and his colleagues who were silent in the court, "When your majesty ascended the throne, I will As I said before, the Qi family's rebellion was revealed early, and His Majesty should have made a decision earlier, if I had listened to what I said, why would my Da Lu come to this... why did I come to this!"

As soon as this remark came out, the pure ministers who did not stand in line in the hall couldn't hold back their temper, and started talking in a few words.

Qi Shiyu smiled nonchalantly, squinted his eyes and said: "The Grand Master is old and confused. Your Majesty passed away without any heirs, and the Yu family was fratricide. They have long since lost their family. This king has found Emperor Zhaolie and has been living abroad." My prince, this is to stabilize the court situation, how dare you be a traitor? Cang Ming, take the grand master down for a rest."

"Qi Shiyu, you have caused trouble for the court, and you will suffer retribution sooner or later!" The old grand master was half-pleased and half-dragged out of the golden palace by several guards.

The entire Golden Luan Hall was full of soldiers from Mobei, General Huwei Wei Qingze stood beside the hall in military uniform, his sword still untied, his falcon-like eyes scanned the surrounding officials, as if he was about to splatter blood on the spot in the next moment.Even if there are still courtiers who are dissatisfied with Qi Shiyu, it is difficult for anyone who dares to stand up and point their noses at him like the old grand master.

At this moment, Liu Hong, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up, looked at Shen Tingyun and said, "I have heard that Emperor Zhaolie once favored a dancer during his lifetime, and had two princes, who have been raised in the palace. After Emperor Lie died, his whereabouts are unknown. If he is alive now, he should be as old as the person in front of him."

The one who spoke next was Yushi Zhongcheng Yanming, the stunned young man who scolded Qi Shiyu on the street back then.Yan Ming has always been loyal and upright, not involved in party disputes, but he still leans towards Qi Shiyu in his heart, and he doesn't believe that the prince who is kind to him will be a disaster for the court.

"Since the prince said that this man is a prince living among the people, there is no proof for his empty words, but is there any evidence?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials responded one after another: "If Emperor Zhaolie really has a prince, it is impossible to hide it from all the officials. Someone must know." After three dynasties, the only one who still assisted Emperor Dalu was the old Taishi who was invited out just now.

"Then invite the Grand Master back." Qi Shiyu said.

The old grand master of the three dynasties, even if the king saw him, he had to bow politely. Now that he was treated like this by Qi Shiyu, he blushed with anger, and was coerced into the golden palace, so he opened his mouth here. Qi Shiyu was scolded.

Qi Shiyu acted as if he had never heard of it, and calmly smiled at the old grand master: "Trouble the grand master to help you identify, is my wife, who has worshiped heaven and earth, a descendant of the Yu family?"

Emperor Zhaolie was disrespectful to old people, and he was still indulging in beauty when he was seriously ill. He was afraid that the empress would know and reprimand him. The old grand master knew about secretly hiding people in the palace.But he didn't believe that the two children were still alive, even if they were alive, it was impossible for Qi Shiyu to find them by such a coincidence.

"Come here, please ask the old master and His Highness to go to the side hall, and please General Wei to be a witness." Wei Qingze was named, in name to testify, but actually to monitor the old lady's every move. For any abnormality, Sang Zi hides in the side hall, and finds a way to replace it with someone who is similar in stature to the old grand master.

Shen Tingyun followed the old master to the side hall.

Even if he doesn't believe the identity of the person in front of him, the old grand master has to admit that the person in front of him looks like the young Emperor Zhaolie, and the eyebrows and eyes also have the meaning of the dancer who was dedicated to Emperor Zhaolie back then.

He still remembered that the dancer was carefully selected by the Prime Minister at that time and dedicated to Emperor Zhaolie.He is a student of the Right Prime Minister, so he was naturally present at the banquet.The dancer was very suitable for the emperor's temperament, so she was favored that night, and she became pregnant not long after.

Emperor Zhaolie had a son in his old age, and he loved the twin children extremely.It's just that the empress monopolizes power, her relatives are powerful, Emperor Zhaolie has been ill for a long time, and the power has been left behind for too long, and she can't even recognize her own children back to the palace.

The dancer girl and the two princes were originally the bargaining chips for the right side to stabilize their position, but they didn't expect it to be a useless move in the end.

After Emperor Zhaolie was bedridden, he and the Prime Minister took turns taking care of the two princes, and he was very familiar with those two children.

It's just that the two children were still in their infancy, and after 20 years, their faces were naturally unrecognizable, so the old grand master said to Wei Qingze who followed him, "Take off his robe and look at his lower back."

It was inconvenient for General Wei to do anything to King Xuan's men, so he asked Shen Tingyun to take off by himself.Shen Tingyun hesitated for a moment, then took off his shirt like a silk puppet who only obeys orders.

Shen Tingyun's back waist was covered with bruises from his fingers, anyone could tell that he had been tortured a lot the night before.The old master and General Wei both kept silent, selectively ignoring the tormenting bruises.

Under the bruise, a red mole was hidden.

Even if the old grand master didn't want to admit it, he had to be sure that the person in front of him was indeed one of the two princes that the dancer gave birth to for Emperor Zhaolie.

"Are you the eldest or the second? Where's your brother?" The old grand master lost his composure and asked while holding Shen Tingyun's hand.

Shen Tingyun stood there dumbly, as if he had never heard of it.

The attendant Sangzi said: "My lord, Your Highness cannot speak."

Only then did the old grand master fully understand why King Xuan wanted to support the prince who had been wandering for many years when he usurped the throne.Such a puppet can not only allow him to control the Yu family's world in a legitimate way, but also be slaughtered by others, there is absolutely no way to disobey his own will.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors, rebellious ministers and traitors..." the old master muttered a few times, but there was no way to stop Qi Shiyu.That man hid himself so well, and played with the world in his hands, that even the little emperor himself was caught off guard, and was sent on the road in a daze.

Wei Qingze said: "Your Majesty is dead now. After we seized the throne, there is no one in the Yu family other than collateral branches. The grand master should know better than me that the person in front of me is the only heir. Now that His Highness has been verified identity, and trouble the Grand Master to inform all the courtiers."

The old master has high morals and high prestige, and his temper is as hard as a rock. No one in the court dares to say more about the heir who can be recognized by him.

In fact, there were not many pure ministers in the court, and most of them had distinct factions. As early as when King Xuan captured the imperial city, he had already secretly planned his position in the new court situation.No one really cares who is sitting on the dragon chair, they just want to know where they should sit in the future.

The weather turned cooler in autumn and it was comfortable and pleasant. Ji Minggui sat in the carriage, raised the curtain and looked at the wilderness on both sides of Gyeonggi-do, and was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.

A white pigeon flew over. Gao Huan caught the pigeon and took off the letter from the pigeon's leg.

"King Xuan supports Emperor Zhaolie's son to ascend the throne, and assists the government as an empress." Gao Huan said word by word for Yu Hanyi.

The little emperor had just had the needle, and he was a little sleepy at first, but after Gao Huan finished reading the letter, his sleepiness disappeared.

"I said why he suddenly became so affectionate. He insisted on marrying a young lady from a family background. It turns out that there is such a use for it." After learning the true identity of Princess Xuan, Yu Hanyi looked away instead, and when he was no longer aligned, Yu Chengqin is so brooding.At least brother Shi Yu got married not because of any feelings.

Ji Minggui on the side smiled and said: "I just don't know that you Da Lu is full of civil and military affairs. Do you know that the emperor I kneel was the number one in Annan County back then, a guy who was overwhelmed by thousands of people riding thousands of people."

"It's all trivial matters." Yu Hanyi said, "I want to know how long it will take for the poison on my body to be undone?"

Ji Minggui yawned: "Little beauty, this Gu has stayed on you for too long, how could it be an overnight thing? Anyway, what I want is in your hands, and I won't be able to escape for a while." , you go back to southern Xinjiang with me, let's take a long-term plan and take it slowly."

"Forget it." Yu Hanyi said, "Gao Huan, go to Zuojiang County in person and give my cousin a message. Don't be reckless, pretend to submit, and make a decision when I come back." Yu Hanyi's Cousin brother, Anjiang general who guards Zuojiang.

After saying that, Ji Minggui laughed.

Yu Hanyi asked him why he was laughing, and Ji Ming replied, "I laughed at you because you are not afraid of running out of the palace by yourself, and you will never go back after a long time."

Yu Hanyi didn't take it seriously, and said: "Back when we seized the throne, my elder brother, third younger brother... and even the queen mother, all plotted to kill me. He is a little Xuan Wang, and he brought a son who I don't know where to get me." Uncle who came out, how big a wave can he turn over?"

Afterwards, the little emperor thought about it again, and said to Gao Huan: "Let your people find out what happened to my loyal General Huwei, so that he can become a party with King Xuan?" Xuanhe, it would not be possible to collude with King Xuan to do such an act of humiliating the ancestors.
