I am a ruler in troubled times

As soon as Chong Yi left, Su Wang, who was full of alcohol, came from the side hall, his eyes were full of joy, "Brother! Uncle Yunyang's younger brother bought those people in the East Palace and resettled them. At my sister's house, I saw with my own eyes. Now that Suzaku looks at Uncle Yunyang's younger brother differently."

Emperor Yonghe waved to his younger brother, the smile in his eyes was much wider than that of Chongyi, and he told King Su that Chongyi offered Song Peiyu to be his companion on the condition that he was willing to go to court.

After he was happy, King Su thought about it further, "Bo Yunyang obviously declined Song Peiyu's reading companionship with Suzaku, but Song Peiyu went to Suzaku by himself, so there is no quarrel between their brothers."

Emperor Yonghe waved his hand, and said with a light smile, "Uncle Yunyang mentioned this matter to me, saying that his younger brother is still young and uncertain, which made him mistaken. But I didn't expect his younger brother to have the ability to make Suzaku change. idea."

"Suzaku made up his mind to save those four people, so maybe Song Peiyu just bumped into them." King Su guessed casually, and didn't take it too seriously.

For him, as long as Chong Yi is willing to change his mind, it is a great joy.It doesn't matter whether it's for those four slaves or for Song Peiyu.

Su Wang drank a lot of wine in the Princess Chang's mansion, and he was in the Yonghe Emperor's palace again when he was drunk, as if he had let go of the shackles on his body, and his voice was higher than usual, "Suzaku is good everywhere, but it is more plain Naive and stubborn, he is the only child of my elder brother, unless my unicorn can be resurrected from the dead, otherwise he will only die if he does not succeed in the future."

Thinking of the eldest son who died in the battle, King Su burst into tears unknowingly, turning his heart full of grief into pity for Chongyi, his face twisted suddenly, "I blame that bitch of the Mu family for allowing her father and brother to do that. Not only do you not know how to repent, but you intensify such rebellious and immoral things, what a waste of being a mother!"

The teapot on the table was swept to the ground by King Su and turned into pieces all over the floor.

Emperor Yonghe held his younger brother's hand tightly, with sorrow in his eyes, "Fenghe will come back in half a month, if the Qilin back then... would be inseparable from the Mu family, I will definitely tear Mu's family to pieces .”

King Su's face calmed down instead, and he said with a wry smile, "It won't be related to the Mu family, otherwise there won't be any traces left, brother, don't mess around for years for things that didn't happen."

Back then when the Mu family's daughter caused such a big commotion, the brothers had guessed, but due to the tense situation, they knew and let go of the child who was secretly transported into the general's mansion.

If the Mu family hadn't been guilty, how could he have allowed his brother to bring Mu Qing, the eldest son of the Mu family, who was only four years old, by his side.

When Suzaku was five years old, they didn't want to send Mu Qing back to the Mu family, so they could only take Suzaku back from her sister and send her back to her biological mother in the General's Mansion.

At that time, all they wanted was to let Mu Qing and Suzaku develop a good relationship. When they grow up, the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Mu family will naturally become really close.

It's just that none of their siblings expected that the Mu's daughter would have no love for Suzaku.

King Su asked someone to bring a jar of strong wine, and drank happily alone.

On the other side, Emperor Yonghe remained awake all the time. He was also thinking about Concubine Mu Gui and Chong Yi in the harem, forcing himself to recall the memory that he didn't want to recall again. It was one of the few experiences in his life where he made stupid decisions one after another. .

When Emperor Yonghe couldn't bear Concubine Mu Gui's begging to take Chong Yi back to the General's Mansion, of course he was thinking about the future of the General Mansion and the Mu family, how could he not have the intention of pity for Concubine Mu Gui's longing for his son.

Even when Chong Yi first returned to the General's Mansion, Emperor Yonghe went to Concubine Mu Gui to see Chong Yi, and Chong Yi told Emperor Yonghe that Concubine Mu would not give him food because he was disobedient, which made Emperor Yonghe angry, but he was still willing to believe it. Concubine Mu's reason was 'because Chong Yi didn't get close to her, she lost her sense of proportion when she was sad and anxious. '

From then on, no matter how busy Emperor Yonghe was, even if he didn't have time to go to the backyard, he would send someone to bring Chong Yi to the front yard every day to ask him if he was hungry or cold.

Concubine Mu Gui seemed to have figured it out, and she never made any more chilling actions, but gave Chong Yi any good things.

She really looks like a good mother who wholeheartedly compensates her son.

Coupled with the fact that the situation in Youzhou became more and more tense at that time, Emperor Yonghe had to put more energy on foreign affairs, and naturally less and less thought was allocated to the backyard.

Until Zhongzong, who had just got married, died in battle, King Su became seriously ill.The Emperor Yonghe couldn't support himself alone, so he had to let Chong Yi show up and tell everyone that even without Chong Zong, he still had an heir. When the morale of the army was stabilized, it was only when they found out what Mu's vicious woman had raised Chong Yi.

The 12-year-old Xiaolang Jun of the General's Mansion has never read the art of war, and has almost never been to the martial arts arena, even worse than when Mu Qing was 12 years old.There is no way to mention literary talent, even the thousand-character essay can read half of it and confidently say that it does not know a certain word.

Those with delicate stomachs can only eat food that has complicated steps and is cooked until it rots.

Emperor Yonghe tried to change Chongyi's eating habits, and had specifically instructed the kitchen to make the food softer. Chongyi still vomited blood after eating with nausea in order to fill his stomach.

Ask Chong Yi, such a greedy pleasure, how can he fulfill his father's ambition in the future.Chong Yi's answer forced King Su, who was dying, to get out of bed in anger.

Chong Yi said, I have my grandfather and uncle to help me.

Emperor Yonghe repeatedly reminded himself that Chongyi would fall if he touched it, so he restrained himself from kicking it out, and said through gritted teeth, "Your grandfather and uncle will definitely die before you, what will you do then?"

Chong Yi glanced over Emperor Yonghe's face, which was even uglier than King Su who barely stabilized his figure by leaning on the wall, and the maidservant next to him opened her mouth to say something everyday, "There are still Mu Qing and Mu He, but Mu Qing is here with his father. Growing up around him is too strict and rigid, not as good as Mu He who is my age, not only far smarter than me, but also considers me wholeheartedly."

Su Wang looked up to the sky with scarlet eyes and screamed, drawing his sword and was about to rush to Mu's mansion.

However, after the initial anger, Emperor Yonghe stopped King Su and chose to endure again.

The reason why Emperor Yonghe kept his sanity in the end was that he found that Chongyi's living habits and accumulation of talents and learning were influenced by Mu's daughter, but his character was not.

Apart from his whole-hearted obsession with eating, drinking and merrymaking, he has no desire to inherit his ambitions at all.Chong Yi is smart, sensitive, and talented even more than Chong Zong, and his heart is not completely biased towards Mu Shi.

Emperor Yonghe even felt that Chong Yi knew from the very beginning why his biological mother was doing these things, but he pretended not to know because he valued family affection too much.

In the end, Emperor Yonghe cleaned up all the people who served Chongyi, and kept Chongyi in the barracks and forbade him to meet with the Mu family in private, and did not make this matter a big deal.

He will not touch the Mu family, he will get five points in Youzhou, the family headed by the Lu family will get three points, and the Mu family will get two points.

One day, he will make those who dare to attack his Suzaku pay a painful price, but he will not allow the two points in Mu's hands to go to others.Suzaku has suffered so much, these two points are the best compensation for Suzaku.

Therefore, Emperor Yonghe continued to keep Mu Qing by his side as if nothing had happened, treating him as if he was his own.After being proclaimed emperor, she endured the idea of ​​remembering Chong Yi under the name of Empress Yuan, not only pinching her nose to confer the concubine title to the daughter of the Mu family, but also confers the uncle concubine title to Concubine Mu's father.

For the Mu family, Emperor Yonghe has thousands of methods, but he has no way to deal with Chong Yi who does not want to inherit the throne at all.

It was Emperor Yonghe's temptation to forcefully find an excuse to drive out the only servants around Chongyi who were related to the Mu family from the East Palace.

This is the tacit understanding between Emperor Yonghe and Chongyi all the time. They both know in their hearts that there is an invisible line that always exists.

Within that line, even if Chong Yi wanted the moon in the sky, Emperor Yonghe would try his best to satisfy Chong Yi.

Outside that line, if Chong Yi wants it, he has to pay the price.

Emperor Yonghe deliberately found a reason related to the previous dynasty, and sent off those servants who had served Chongyi for more than ten years, just to force Chongyi to take the initiative to move forward.

Now it seems that whether it is a mistake or not, it is a good start.

Emperor Yonghe carried Su Wang, who was already drunk to the point of limp, to the dragon bed, and told the night watchmen to prepare sober soup, and then sent someone to Su Wang's mansion to report to Princess Su, and went to the side hall to sleep with a long-lost smile on his face.

Song Peiyu tossed and turned until dawn, and got up early to wash with dark circles under her eyes.Tomorrow is the day when the classroom in the palace starts, whether the third prince fulfills his promise depends on whether there is a result today.

At noon, Song Peiyu became more and more irritable, so she burned charcoal sticks and drew lines on white paper to pass the time.

Jin Bao suddenly came in from the study with a face full of joy, "The Patriarch asked Zimo to send a message, telling the master to go quickly, the inner eunuch of the palace came with His Majesty's oral order."

Song Peiyu got up from the chair suddenly, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Yinbao who was running over with a wet handkerchief, "Master, don't go, I'll wipe the black ash off your hands!"

The old eunuch dictated Emperor Yonghe's confession, smiled and went to help Song Peiyu up, "Your Majesty, considering that your white body is too abrupt, specially rewarded Zizhi Shaoyin's honorary officer, and estimated that the official decree and court uniform will arrive in the afternoon, Mr. I can't wait to make this bird of good news, so I came early to ask for the reward."

Rao Song Peiyu was already prepared for the accompanying reading, but she was also knocked unconscious by Cong Sanpin who suddenly hit her on the head.

Emperor Yonghe was clearly a person who was extremely stingy with titles, scattered officials, and honored officials, so he was given a third-rank official status so easily. Even if he had no real power and no specific position, he could only receive a salary, which would be great for his future official career. bonus.

If he follows the general trajectory of the aristocratic family in the future, he will enter the court with the real position of a sixth-rank official.He has a third-rank officer on his body, which means that his immediate boss, and even the immediate boss's immediate boss, is not as good as him.

His second elder brother is already the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he is only the third rank.

Song Jinyu was also stunned, but after all he had seen the big wind and waves, he came back to his senses after a while, dragged the old eunuch into the house to drink tea, and gave the old eunuch the Eight Treasures Ruyi placed on the Duobao Pavilion. It's called happiness.

The old eunuch was not too polite with Song Jinyu, he said a lot of auspicious words in witty words, and happily left holding Ruyi himself.

When there were only two brothers left in the study, Song Jinyu said to Song Peiyu, who was rarely having fun, "Do you have any thoughts in your mind?"

Song Peiyu raised the corners of her mouth without hesitation, "I have a third-rank official status, Your Majesty is so generous."

Song Jinyu put down the cup of tea that he hadn't had time to drink, and laughed angrily, "I'm asking you, what do you think of His Highness's eight classmates, and you are the only one who was accompanied by him as a student and got an honorary officer?"

The smile on the corner of Song Peiyu's mouth froze, and her tone suddenly changed, "What do you mean I am the only companion?"
