Twilight Cloud Returns

Hearing this, Yun Chuxiu's complexion gradually became serious.

How could he have never expected Wuqing to say this?Just suffering from no evidence.

Wuqing's delicate hands fell on his cheeks, comforting him: "Everything will come to light..."

Yun Chuxiu was fortunate to have Wuqing by his side, always accompanying her, rain or shine.

He clenched Wuqing's hands, eager to draw comfort from that thin body, and continued to tell the unfinished past: "The only support of the Yun family in the royal family died once, but the patriarch could not give up his long-cherished wish. It is better to listen to the court's movements and conceal people's eyes and ears, so that Sheng'er changed her name to Yuwan and committed herself to Drunken Rouge."

"Drunk Rouge is not just a place of fireworks and moonlight in the eyes of outsiders. Liu Bust has acquaintances with senior officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing, and most of the hookups behind those senior officials are carried out in Drunk Rouge. Drunk Rouge has many eyes, but who at the same time It would never have occurred to me that the people sitting in each wing room were not benefactors, but important officials from the capital."

Until today, Wuqing finally understands the true purpose of going in and out of Zuirouzhi many times - one is to confirm her fame, and the other is for the great plan of the Yun family; Ashamed of the misunderstanding.

"It's my incompetence, I can't save the people who are in dire straits, and I want to push Sheng'er out..." Yun Chuxiu's eyes were instantly stained with regret and sorrow...

Wuqing hugged him tenderly in his arms, and in the past, Zhizhi also shielded him from the wind and rain, but today he also provides him with a pair of arms that can rest.

The tall body clings tightly to his shoulders, this is the first time Wuqing deeply feels the weight of these secrets on Zhihuan, making it impossible to breathe.

Yun Chuxiu clung to his ear and murmured: "Ah Qing, you said that the father loved my mother so much, loved the house and Wu, and even gave my mother's surname, named Yun, after all, is it the blessing of the Yun family or the Yun family? the woe of..."

Wuqing didn't know, so he had to use a common saying to comfort him: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided."

"Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, I will bear it with you."

The quiet and heavy time passed quietly in the afternoon of returning to Beijing, until Gu Xiaorui came to bother her.

He stood outside the door and said, "My lord, Miss Yuwan ran out of the palace crying..."

Yun Chuxiu sighed for a long time: "Let her go."

The next day, in court.

Before Chu Tiankuo arrived, all the ministers greeted each other in the main hall of Jianzhang Palace.

Jing Zhaoyin and Liangcai had bad intentions, and took the initiative to talk to Liu Yi and Wei Guoan, "The two generals went to the front line, repelled the Huns, and made great contributions to our great Zhou. They are really great heroes!"

Liu Yi is a straightforward person, he has never liked flattery, but when he heard it, goose bumps all over his body.How could he speak of such a situation?

The court is no better than a military camp, let him get used to doing nonsense, if he accidentally said something wrong, and others settled the score on the head of General Yun, then he would be a sinner through the ages.

Liu Yi grinned widely, showing two rows of white teeth, and his smile was uglier than crying. With a hand behind his back, he took the opportunity to pull Wei Guoan's court clothes aside, hoping that his brother Wei Xian could help save the scene.

Wei Guoan understood Brother Liu's temper, and helped him out, bowing respectfully and saying, "Your Excellency Liang is too famous. All the adults in the court perform their own duties, work diligently and frugally, and are all great heroes of my Great Zhou."

Liu Yi followed suit and said, "Your official thinks what Wei Zuoling said is true."

Just as he was speaking, Chu Mohen walked in modestly and politely, and greeted the ministers in an approachable manner.

Everyone saluted.

Rong Xiang followed closely behind, but today's expression was very ugly - General Zhenyuan and others returned triumphantly, are they going to settle the old score in Liangzhou today?

For the time being, the Holy Majesty will not mention Rong Xin and Du Wei, even though Rong'er is temporarily appointed as a doctor of Guanglu Temple to show his relief, but seeing that the little prince Yun is in the limelight, in order to appease the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border, it is difficult to guarantee that Rong will not be dealt with severely. Letter and Dewey.

It's fine to deal with it, for fear of implicating myself.

Rong Xiang made a thorough analysis of the stakes, and the originally suppressed ambition suddenly became uneasy. Even Yun Chuxiu swaggered to Jianzhang Palace, and the ministers did not notice the triumphant congratulations.

Until Yun Chuxiu patted him on the shoulder, Rong Xiang was so frightened that he almost jumped onto the beam.

He turned around, and after seeing clearly that it was Little Prince Yun with his old snowflake eyes, he pretended to be calm, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the General for returning to Beijing."

Yun Chuxiu grabbed his crumbling shoulders, slightly away from the crowded place, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Master, do you still remember Rong Xin and De Wei..."

Sure enough, the devil incarnation didn't have a good heart, so he came up to test him!

Rong Xiang had already thought of a countermeasure, he calmly said: "Xin'er is the old minister's nephew from afar, Dewey... the old minister seems to be a protégé from many years ago..."

As he spoke, he laughed at himself: "I'm getting older, and I don't remember many things. Dewey looks like he hasn't been in touch for a long time... How can the general have the interest to ask these two people?"

Rong Xiang evaded himself completely in a few words, Yun Chuxiu naturally didn't believe it.

He intentionally lowered his voice, and said solemnly at a volume that only allowed the two of them to hear: "Rong Xin, as the governor of Liangzhou, withheld food and grass and delayed the military plane; Dewey led a mutiny in the barracks, disturbing the morale of the army. The Prime Minister wants to clean himself up! Either one is a great crime of treason!"

Rong Xiang pretended that he only learned the news at this moment, and immediately pretended to be righteous, and furiously said: "These two beasts really deserve to be punished! Thank you, General, for your reminder. When the Holy Majesty arrives, the old minister will definitely see it in person, and will not let this matter go unnoticed." Two traitors!"

An impassioned speech, really more consummate than Hua Niang's praise of the benefactor's heroic and invincible acting skills on the bed.

A sneer flashed across Yun Chuxiu's eyes, if this old man knew that he secretly compared him to a flower girl, he would definitely be so angry that he would die immediately!

Following Liang Deying's sharp "The Emperor is here", Chu Tiankuo stood on the dragon seat with his head held high.

After being entangled with the Xiongnu for a long time, not only has the enemy been defeated, but the people's livelihood in Liangzhou has taken on a new look.Chu Tiankuo was overjoyed.

He cheered up and said: "This time, General Zhenyuan has lived up to everyone's expectations, and he has done a great job."

Yun Chuxiu: "I absolutely dare not be a minister. This military merit belongs to every soldier guarding the border."

"Well said!" Although Chu Tiankuo was afraid of Yun Chuxiu, the great achievements of defeating the Xiongnu, which can be recorded in the annals of history and become famous through the ages, came from the reign of Tianqi - under the government of Chu Tiankuo, he was more happy than he was in his heart "Each of the border guards will be rewarded with half a year's salary!"

Yun Chuxiu felt happy for those soldiers from the bottom of her heart: "My brother thanked the emperor for his kindness on behalf of thousands of soldiers, and may my emperor live long and live long!"

The young and mature Chu Tiankuo showed a rare smile, and even his tone was calmer than usual, "General Zhenyuan will be awarded the first-class loyal and brave man from now on, and he will enjoy the double salary of the prince and the first-class man forever. hand it back."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an ups and downs.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the first-class duke was in the first rank, he had no real power. He is in charge of one side of the army, and he really controls the military power.

Everyone in the court hall is like a bright mirror in their hearts - Chu Tiankuo doesn't trust this idle little prince Yun.

All of a sudden, everyone's face flashed with a look of ulterior motives.

Yun Chuxiu's lips curled up slightly, and she understood instantly, she said calmly, "My brother thank you, Brother Huang."

Congratulations immediately filled the hall: "Congratulations, my lord..."

Liu Yi didn't know what rising up and down in the dark, so Chu Tiankuo had fooled him, he was so happy for the little prince's conferment from the bottom of his heart, he forgot his form for a moment, and said carelessly in the courtroom: "My lord Don’t forget to call me Liu Yi on the day of the banquet, Liu will definitely drink with the father-in-law until he gets drunk!"

Liang Deying coughed in good time to remind General Liu that such an indecent word came out of the court.

Only then did Liu Yi realize that he was "spitting out fragrance", he hesitated in place, not knowing what to do.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tiankuo was the first to laugh out loud, "Liu Aiqing is really kind."

The rest of the ministers immediately echoed and laughed, "Vice General Liu is straightforward..."

Liu Yi had no choice but to smooth things over with a grin. When he returned home, he would slap himself on the mouth with a ruler to make him speak nonsense again!

Chu Tiankuo cleared his throat, and the hall immediately fell silent, only to hear him continue to reward: "Vice General Liu Yi has made great achievements and is loyal. He has been promoted to General Hussars, and he will stay in Beijing to spend more time with his family."

Unexpectedly, in the last court today, he was promoted to an official position. Liu Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Chu Tiankuo.

His straightforward and honest temperament also made all the officials lean forward and backward with laughter, and completely let go of their guard against the general.

Someone joked: "General Liu is really going to get drunk this time!"

After discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, he went to Wei Guoan.

"Wei Guo'an was loyal to the king and served the country. He went deep into the enemy's belly many times, was promoted to lieutenant general, and was given a mansion in the middle of the capital."

Wei Guoan showed no signs of anger or emotion, and thanked him calmly.

Where there is a reward, there must be a punishment.

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo changed his expression in a flash, "If you have contributed to Da Zhou, I will reward you; if you betray Da Zhou, I will punish you to show the way of governing the country."

All the ministers: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true."

"As the governor of Liangzhou, Rong Xin not only didn't love the people, but dared to withhold food and grass and delay the military plane; as a general, Du Wei even led the army to mutiny and shake the morale of the army. What do you love to think about how to punish and punish to show heaven Home majesty?"

Everyone in the court knew that Rong Xin and Rong Xiang were related by blood. If the punishment was light, the emperor would be displeased; if the punishment was heavy, Rong Xiang would be displeased.No one dared to pick up such a hot potato, so they were speechless and pretended to be very difficult.

Only Rong Sumo knelt down on the ground, and said righteously: "Although the old minister and Rong Xin are blood relatives, the old minister also knows that the country's affairs are the most important. Rong Xin relies on the old minister to do his best. He even did such insane things as embezzling food and grass behind his back! The old minister begs His Majesty to behead this rebel at the Meridian Gate and hang his head in the downtown area for three days, so as to warn those who have other ideas .”

"At the same time, the old minister asked for three months' salary to punish the old minister for his poor education, and actually raised a waste for Da Zhou!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head to the ground, waiting for Chu Tiankuo's final will.
