The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

At the beginning of summer, a major event happened in Dazhou, that is, the emperor announced to the world that he had found his own brother, the son of the former emperor who had been living among the people for a long time.The emperor specially went to the Taimiao and the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors, comforted the ancestors and the ancestors, and made Mu Qi the king of Liang, so that he could recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

The emperor said: "Your surname should be Mu. The emperor once said that if one day you are brought back to the palace, you will be named Mu Qi and recorded in the jade record—as for the name you like in private, it is up to you. I won't force it."

Bai Yu naturally had no objection, "Brother Huang is in charge."

The emperor continued: "I built a Prince Liang Mansion for you in Beijing, and you can take your master back. In a few days, I will honor him as Master Yangping, and I am grateful for everything he has done for you."

Bai Yu said happily, "Thank you, Brother Huang."

The emperor looked at him, hesitantly said: "But your biological mother...I'm afraid it can't be said to be the emperor's empress Shuyuan."

Bai Yu was taken aback, and blurted out, "Why?"

As soon as he asked the question, Baiyu immediately realized that Wusun was bestowed to death by the queen mother in the name of burying the late emperor, but the concubines who were buried had to have no children.Since the Wusun family gave birth to Bai Yu, they should not be given death. If it is now announced to the world that Bai Yu is Wusun's son, then the Empress Dowager's face will be very ugly.

The emperor sighed, and said: "Among the concubines of my father, the highest ranking one is Concubine Kanggui. If you are willing..."

Bai Yu's heart was cold, but she also understood the embarrassment of the emperor, so she could only say: "My brother is willing to recognize Concubine Kang Gui as his mother."

The emperor put his hand on the back of Bai Yu's hand, and said gently: "I will also decree to make your biological mother the Concubine Gui. However, Concubine Kang Gui came from a famous family and has a good family background, so I don't think I will wrong you too much."

Bai Yu was silently sad, shook his head and said: "Brother Huang can consider so much for my younger brother, my younger brother will not be wronged."

As for the incident in Liangzhou this time, although the truth has been found out, as everyone knows well, it is impossible for the emperor to punish his mother and cause the world to criticize.

So even though the emperor knew who was behind the scenes, the decree was: Cen Xuan, the guard of Liangzhou, accepted bribes and secretly cooperated with the enemy country, and surrendered when the governor was killed and the city was in chaos, causing Liangzhou to fall, which is an unforgivable crime.Take him to the prison, and ask to be cut after autumn.

As for Qin Ran, he was demoted to the rank of former lieutenant of the army and ordered him to take the blame and make meritorious service.

Even if the emperor let Cen Xuan bear all the crimes alone, the ministers in the court are not fools. Everyone knows that Cen Xuan would never have such courage alone, and anyone behind him can think of it with his knees.

The ministers who secretly approached the Queen Mother and clamored to make Cen An lead the army did not dare to say a word. No one had any objection to the emperor's decree to confer Bai Yu as king, but Shen Qing asked a few words, "It is a good thing for Your Majesty to confer the title of King Liang, but The Empress Dowager..."

The emperor said indifferently: "As the mother-in-law, the queen mother is naturally happy to see the prosperity of her father and prince's heirs."

Shen Qingdao: "Yes, the Empress Dowager is also His Royal Highness King Liang's aunt. But the Emperor, King Liang grew up outside, and no one is familiar with his temperament. Even if he is the Emperor's younger brother, the Emperor must not be completely unsuspecting. The throne How canonization is just a false name, as for real power...it can't be given easily."

The emperor slowly sipped his tea, and said: "President Shen is an old minister, and not many people dare to say this in front of me. I know what you mean, but King Liang really doesn't have that kind of thought."

Shen Qing shook his head, "When neither the emperor nor the king of Liang was born, the late emperor once said in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the Jinluan Hall that if Empress Shuyuan gave birth to a prince, he would be crowned prince. Your majesty, even if the king of Liang If you don’t have this thought now, it’s hard to guarantee that you won’t be instigated by someone with a heart in the future. What’s more, as the old minister sees, His Royal Highness Liang Wang is really a smart person, not a stupid person who is only greedy for pleasure and has no ambitions.”

The emperor frowned, "In the past, when I was looking for King Liang everywhere, Prime Minister Shen did his best to help, and arranged for Chunyu to help find someone, and then asked Yan Zun to pick him up for safety, why do we say so now?"

"The old minister helped His Majesty find the King of Liang, because he couldn't bear to see the heirs of the former emperor wandering outside. Since the King of Liang is a nobleman of the royal family, he should be given an identity. But as the old minister said just now, false names can be given, but real power cannot be given."

The emperor's expression faded, "I know."

Bai Yu was granted the title of Queen of Liang, and her life became more and more prosperous.Wan Wan was recognized by Princess Chunyi as a adopted daughter and raised at home, Bai Yu often visited her, and Princess Chunyi liked him a lot when he came and went.

The weather was fine that day, Princess Chunyi took Wanwan out to fly a kite, sent her maid to Prince Liang's mansion to communicate, and called Bai Yu to go with her.Wanwan likes to fly kites the most. She runs fast while holding the string of the kite.

Princess Chunyi and Bai Yu watched from not far away, and Bai Yu was quite relieved, "When I first saw Wan Wan, she was a dirty little girl who came to me for something to eat when she was hungry. She still looks timid, as if she is afraid that I will hit her."

Princess Chunyi said: "For beggars like them, those who are kind-hearted will naturally give alms. Ordinary people just turn a blind eye to it. They are afraid that they will encounter wicked people, and they will beat them or scold them. Wan Wan used to be bullied a lot."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "It won't happen in the future, she will live well."

Princess Chunyi nodded, and suddenly said: "Listen, Wan Wan's laughter is so nice."

"Yes." Bai Yu sighed, a little regretful, "If she can talk, she must be like an oriole."

Princess Chunyi looked at him and said, "Hasn't King Liang ever thought about it? Wan Wan obviously has a voice when she laughs, but why can't she make any sound when she is asked to speak?"

Bai Yu was concentrating for a moment, then suddenly remembered that what Princess Chunyi said was right, he had seen one or two dumb people, even though they couldn't speak, they would make gestures "ahhhhh" at people, but Wanwan never Made such a sound.

Princess Chunyi said: "I once asked Wan Wan, is it true that she has never been able to speak since she was a child? But the child cried when she heard me ask this question. I was afraid of irritating her, so I didn't dare to ask again. By the way—by the way, she also has a voice when she cries."

Bai Yu pondered and said: "In this way, there must be something hidden inside."

Princess Chunyi nodded and said: "I have heard Zun'er talk about Wanwan's life experience, but what he knows is only a few words from other people's mouths. I think, I want to find out what happened to Wanwan , I’m afraid I still have to go to her hometown to inquire, and it’s best to find her biological parents. Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine so that she can become like a normal child.”

Bai Yu said: "The princess said yes, I will immediately investigate."

The emperor's birthday was approaching, Yan Xun hurried back to Beijing after finishing his military affairs at the border, and went straight to his home.As soon as he got off the horse, he saw a carriage driving away slowly at the door of the house. Wanwan was standing by the door and waving at the carriage.After the carriage left, Princess Chunyi pulled Wanwan to go back.

Yan Xun didn't bother to see who was in the carriage, and ran over in a few steps, "Mother!"

Princess Chunyi almost didn't stand still. After seeing Yan Xun, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, "Xun'er?!" She cried and hugged Yan Xun, "You are back, worrying about death Me! How can I be so thin!"

Yan Xun said with a smile: "Every time Mother sees me, she always says I'm thin. If I were really like that, I would be as thin as chopsticks by now."

Princess Chunyi patted his face lightly, "I really lost weight this time! Have you been wronged outside?"

Yan Xun was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sour in his heart.His mother's words "You've been wronged" made his eye sockets swell. He blinked quickly and smiled, "No."

Princess Chunyi wiped away her tears, and said: "You are still looking at me and pretending that I don't know anything? Those heartless things treat you like this. You are fighting hard outside, and it's fine if they don't help you. Stabbed in the back..."

Yan Xun helped Princess Chunyi wipe away tears with a smile, and said: "Okay, mother, let's not talk about this, it's all over."

Princess Chunyi pulled Wan Wan by her side, and said, "Wan Wan, this is your elder brother."

Wan Wan smiled at Yan Xun and bowed obediently.

Yan Xun had heard Bai Yu talk about Wanwan a long time ago, so he was not surprised. Chao Wanwan nodded, "She is really a pretty girl, no wonder Mother likes it."

Princess Chunyi smiled and said: "This child is not only beautiful, but also very well-behaved. I really like her. Hey, just like King Liang."

"King Liang?" Yan Xun was stunned.

Princess Chunyi smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor's long-lost brother has just been crowned King of Liang. The child is really handsome. Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white teeth and fresh lips, like a finely crafted Like a jade girl."

Yan Xun said "oh", couldn't help but smile, and said meaningfully: "It's just that mother likes him."

Princess Chunyi said: "By the way, I still want to ask you. I saw him wearing your dress before. It was a gift from the emperor. It's the only one in the world. Why, are you familiar with him too?" ?”

More than familiar... Yan Xun said vaguely, "Yes, yes."

This matter has to be discussed in the long run.

Princess Chunyi didn't ask any more questions, and led Yan Xunhe back home at night, and ordered his servants to prepare dinner.
