Daiyu reads novels every day

Prince Yongzhan ascended the throne, called "Emperor Jingyuan", and his reign name was Taihe.The loyal king Yongyi who rebelled against him was imprisoned by a high wall, and the same fate as his elder brother, the fifth prince Yongdan, fell to the same fate.All the party members subordinate to Yongyi were also thrown into prison, awaiting trial.After the storm, there was a strange calm in the court. No minister dared to ask such a question as "Where are the bones of the late emperor?"

The ministers dare not ask, but Yong Chen dares.When he asked, he was lying on his side on the bed in Yuqing Palace, watching the newly enthroned Emperor Jing Yuan sitting in front of the desk reviewing the memorial through the small arch.

"I still don't know the whereabouts of my father. Could it be that the bastard Shiliu was murdered?"

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said with a smile: "You have the energy to think about these things, but your injuries are almost healed?"

On the day he returned to Beijing to rescue him, Yong Chen was not only injured physically, but also exhausted a lot of energy, so Emperor Jing Yuan stayed in the palace to recuperate.Seeing the question at this moment, Yong Chen hastily said: "Hey, those are just minor wounds, I'll get better after a couple of sleeps, and if I keep raising them like this, I'm really going to get sick! Look, am I right? Can you leave the palace?"

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan kept writing, just smiled and said: "That's good. You can accompany me to the court meeting in the afternoon, and also listen to my first enthronement, what the officials have to say."

"Are all the brothers going?"

Only then did Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan look up at him, and said with a light smile, "Why do you have to ask such a question. Although they are all brothers, how can the rest compare with you, King Yong, who protects the sky?"

Yong Chen also looked at him, there were countless questions he wanted to ask, but in the end he just said: "The emperor has become thinner and thinner these days."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan closed the memorial and sighed: "It's hard to be a king!"

At the Great Court Meeting, as soon as Yong Chen entered the hall, he saw that on the high platform, where there should have been only one dragon chair, there was actually a red sandalwood grand master's chair on the lower left side of the dragon chair.He followed Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan to the bottom of the high platform, and then stopped, but Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan, who was climbing up the stairs, turned back halfway to signal him to step forward.

No matter how daring and reckless Yong Chen is, he also knows that it is not appropriate to sit next to the dragon chair.He scanned the hall and saw all the officials bowing their heads, no one dared to look.Just as he was thinking, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan grabbed his hand and pulled him up.

"What's the matter?" The new emperor smiled, pressed his shoulders to let him sit beside the dragon chair, and sat down slowly on the dragon chair, then laughed again: "I don't want you to sit here."

Yong Chen's heart trembled, and he said with a smile: "I used to be punished by my father to kneel down, so I didn't dare to go to a high place."

The officials greeted each other, knelt down and shouted long live.

Sitting on the high platform, Yongchen felt restless for the first time in his life.

The first case of the Great Court Meeting is to reward meritorious deeds.In the case of the loyal king's rebellion, all those who are loyal to the king and patriotic will be rewarded; even ordinary ministers will be promoted by half a rank, which is also a comfort to everyone who is frightened and suffering.King Laiqin's army led by Yongchen was even more glorious, and the leaders at all levels were promoted by leapfrogging.

At the end of the discussion among the ministers, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "Not only these meritorious officials who can be seen by everyone will be rewarded, I heard Fang Ao's report the day before yesterday, and a small person also played a key role on the night of Yongyi's army. Yi's rebels seized the gate of the Forbidden Palace, and if King Yong led his troops to rescue him, if he couldn't break through the gate in time, I'm afraid I would be decapitated..."

Hearing what Emperor Jing Yuan said, Yong Chen also remembered, when he charged into the attack that night, a thought flashed in his mind, how could the city gate be breached so easily?Almost at the moment of hand-to-hand combat, the city gate opened from the inside.

"Yongchen, do you still remember that three years ago, when you were in the northwest, there was a soldier named Zhang Laoshi?"

Yong Chen was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "The emperor said he was a very thin, young, and honest man?" He remembered that there was indeed such a soldier who had entered Roulan with him, "He I had suffered a lot with my younger brother, and when I returned to the capital, I saw that he was young and weak, so I gave him a civil job and left him as an errand in the capital."

"I personally summoned him the day before yesterday. Although he is thin and small, he is brave. You left him as a civil servant in Beijing, but he was full of passion for serving the country, and he asked someone to transfer him to a military post. Later, by accident, he was found by Yongyi's subordinates." I went. The night you came to King Qin, this piece of Laoshi saw that it was the old owner, so he opened the city gate from the inside—this saved my life."

Yong Chen forced a smile and said: "This is because he knows that he must be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and not let the traitor Yong Yi succeed. It is General Han who leads the troops to escort him. Presumably this Laoshi will also open the gate of the city."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan smiled slightly, and said: "This Laoshi must be rewarded properly. I think it would be very good for him to be the admiral of the Nine Schools."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked.From a small soldier guarding the city gate to the admiral of the nine gates who shoulder the safety of the entire Kyoto, it is nothing more than one step to the sky.

Fang Ao, who had newly sealed the order of ministers, came out and said: "Your Majesty, although your love for talents is strong, but you have failed to check and pull out, I am afraid that it will become a bad thing for the recipients. Moreover, the imperial court has its own rules and regulations. If a precedent is set today because of the emperor's preference alone, it may be difficult to continue in the future."

Yong Chen had a problem with Fang Ao in the past, but this time he was relieved to hear his speech.

When Fang Ao opened his mouth, those ministers who were quite surprised and frightened also agreed one after another.

All of a sudden, except for a few seasoned ministers in the hall, no one agreed.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan was not angry either, he listened quietly for a while, then suddenly appointed Liu Wuhua, the newly-appointed censor inspector, and asked, "Liu Aiqing, what do you think?"

Liu Wuhua stepped forward, turned around and said to the group of ministers: "Ministers, Liu has something to ask. Just now, he was rewarded for meritorious service, even such a small soldier guarding the city gate was rewarded. However, the case of Yongyi's treason , the one who contributed the most, how come no one mentions it?"

Yongchen cried out in his heart that it was not good, and saw Liu Wuhua stretch out his arm, pointing at himself.

The officials were silent, and for a while, the old Shangshu Dong Shen said tremblingly: "The meritorious service of the king of Yongjun is the contribution of Qingtian's protection. How dare the officials make unreasonable remarks? Grace comes from the top, and it all depends on the emperor's will... ..."

Yongchen turned over from the chair of the Grand Master, knelt down to Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan, and said in a loud voice: "As Dong Shangshu said, kindness comes from above, and my younger brother can grow up to adulthood, all thanks to the emperor's great kindness. It was given by the emperor, so what is a little credit? It is not worthy of a reward."

"You're saying the opposite." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan laughed, his voice was not loud, but everyone in the hall could hear him clearly, "You saved my life. The ministers probably don't know, in the past On Mulanqiu’s hunting grounds, King Yong also saved my life. Counting this time, it’s the second time.” He reached out to support Yong Chen, and touched Yong Chen’s forehead with his fingertips, and said, “How could it be possible? Sweat so much?" He said again: "Get up, today we are only talking about the rewards of the courtiers, what is it for you to kneel down?"

Yongchen sat back on the teacher's chair in a state of anxiety, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a forced smile: "I think it's due to weakness after injury."

"That's why I want you to stay in the palace for a few more days so that you can recuperate." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said, handing him his handkerchief.

Yong Chen took the bright yellow handkerchief, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.

Liu Wuhua at the bottom said: "The emperor rewarded this Lao poem for his own reasons. It's fine if others can't understand Sacred Heart, Mr. Fang Aofang, you are a veteran minister who has followed the emperor for many years-how can you not be considerate?"

An angry look appeared on Fang Ao Duanfang's face, his brows moved, as if he wanted to reprimand him, but he didn't say anything in the end.

All the officials in the palace could see clearly that up to now, the newly appointed censor inspector Liu Wuhua, Mr. Liu, is already the emperor's number one trustworthy minister.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan waved his hand, signaling Liu Wuhua to step down, and said in a gentle tone: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. Zhang Laoshi is the admiral of the Nine Gates, and he will find an experienced military officer as his deputy." The emperor's absolute Authority, unquestionable.

The discussion of rewards for meritorious deeds is temporarily over, followed by punishment for crimes.

The courtiers listed 37 serious crimes committed by the sixteenth prince Yongyi, all of which were capital crimes.This is really funny, when a person is in power, nothing matters;

Shangshu ordered Fang Ao to finally say: "The traitor Yongyi, atonement for his sins, is not enough to absolve him of his crimes. The ministers and other opinions should be sentenced to death, and everyone in the house will be punished together."

The old Shangshu Dong Shen tremblingly said again: "The emperor's heart is kind, I am afraid that I can't bear to see the rebel's corpse exposed on the street, so giving this rebel three feet of white silk or a cup of poisoned wine is also the emperor's great kindness."

Thinking of how Brother Sixteen, who was also a wunderkind at the beginning, ended up like this, Yong Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "I and Yongyi are brothers after all. He was confused for a moment and did such a wrong thing. I am heartbroken. If it is put on someone else, it is really not a pity to die. However, when Concubine De and the fifth prince joined forces The Jin people rebelled, and the father punished Guojiu and others, but he only confined Yongdan with a high wall. Now I can't and don't have the heart to execute Yongyi, just lock him with Yongdan."

As soon as these words came out, Lian Yongchen was also very surprised.He knew the prince's elder brother well. Although he looked gentle, he was never a soft-hearted person.

All the ministers below were also in shock.

"The emperor's heart is kind, but..." Fang Ao and others still urged the emperor to grant Yongyi death to prevent future troubles.

"There was a turmoil in the central court. Not only were you flustered, but even the little officials below were panicked. Why bother to add to the anxiety? In the past, Yongyi was powerful, and you were officials in the court, so it was inevitable that you would interact with him. Now Yongyi is surrounded , everyone is also worried about what he will say..." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan smiled and said peacefully: "I understand all these. For the current plan, the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts. After all, Yongyi is my brother. One life is enough. As for the people in his mansion, the servants will disperse, the wives and concubines will be sent back to the original family, and the children are still of the royal blood, so don't take it lightly."

The chief culprit, Yongyi, had to escape to his death, and the people following him were not the emperor's brothers, so he was not so lucky.All officials who participated in the conspiracy, regardless of their official positions, were executed or exiled.

The new emperor took office for the first time in the court meeting, and he used both soft and hard tactics, which shocked all the officials. Except for the former prince and close officials, it was the first time they saw Yong Zhan's real methods.

After discussing all matters, the ministers dispersed.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan wanted Liu Wuhua to stay, and said to Yongchen: "I know that these days I want you to stay in the palace to recuperate, and you are bored. There is an errand for you to do. Although Yongyi pleaded guilty, the next Among the criminals who have already been detained, although Dali Temple has already tried it, I am not at ease. Besides, there is still a connection between the old Yongyi Ministry and the Jinren. It is better not to have any future troubles. So let You and Liu Wuhua go to Dali Temple again and check carefully."

Liu Wuhua said with a smile: "The place in the prison of Dali Temple is inauspicious, so I just have to go. King Yongjun's old wound has not healed, and his body of a thousand gold, how to make it?"

Yongchen ignored him, and only said to Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan: "Your brother takes orders."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan nodded with a smile, patted Yongchen on the shoulder, and said: "I still have a few important officials to see. When you come back, we will have dinner together." He said and walked outside the palace gate first.

Liu Wuhua and Yong'an followed behind, watched Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan go to the south study, and looked at each other.

Yongchen was disturbed in his heart, and first moved his eyes away.

Liu Wuhua actually laughed, and said leisurely: "That day on the boat in the Gusu River, King Yong once said that he would invite me to drink tea in the future—is this still true?"

Back then when he went south to check the accounts, Prince Yongzhan was stabbed by Liu Wuhua. When he escaped from the post station, he wanted Yongchen to take this man with him. Later, he was rescued by the former rebel Hecao. It is really annoying to think about the words that threatened Liu Wuhua now.Thinking about it again, I'm afraid Liu Wuhua's assassination was arranged by the prince's elder brother in advance.

"Lord Liu is the emperor's number one favorite now, how can Xiao Wang get your face." Yong Chen sneered, and said coldly: "No matter what the old grievances are, since the emperor ordered you and me to do the errand, let's do the errand. Finish first." Said and walked forward quickly.

Liu Wuhua followed closely, and said with a leisurely smile: "The emperor's first favorite? This title is enviable, but Liu can't afford it." He said again: "Yongjun Wang understands the emperor's mind. In fact, go to Dali The temple once again went over the matter of sinners, and the next person alone, or the county king alone, can do it well. The emperor must order me to go with the county king. Naturally, it is hoped that you and I can get along well. Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Yong Chen snorted coldly, "Since Master Liu understands, why don't you shut up?"

Liu Wuhua turned his head away, and said in a soft voice: "It's just that I just thought of another possibility." He repeated what he said just now, with a subtle tone, "Go to Dali Temple and go through the sinner again. The next person, or the single county king, can do a good job, but the emperor must order the county king to go with his subordinates..." He smiled, "Maybe it's because we can't trust you and me."

Yong Chen stopped abruptly.

"It's the right thing to believe in me, I'm just a companion. Can't you trust the county king? The county king has just made a great contribution to Qingtian's escort, so you can't trust His Royal Highness, isn't it too unreasonable?"

Yongchen looked sideways and saw Liu Wuhua staring at him with a weird smile on his face.

Liu Wuhua laughed, waving his hands as if to disturb the invisible pressure in the air, "So I must be thinking about it. The king just took it as a joke and then forgot it."

In the Zhao Prison of Dali Temple, the criminals who participated in the rebellion were all held in solitary confinement.

Yongchen and Liu Wuhua interrogated each room, among them there were familiar faces, most of them were already dead when they fell into such a situation, and there were also those who hoped for a sliver of life, they kept saying they were implicated, or they couldn't plead guilty family.Seeing all kinds of attitudes before death makes people feel cold.

Coming out of the cell where Shang Qing Ke was held in Yongyi Mansion, Yong Chen saw that the next cell was completely dark, so he asked: "Who is being imprisoned here? How come they don't even light a single candle? Although he is a criminal, but nor abuse."

The warden hurriedly brought the candlestick, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "Don't dare. His Royal Highness, the king of the county, has clearly checked that the prisoner is a blind man. Is there any candle here...!"

As the candle lights up, the faces of the people in the cell appear.

I saw a middle-aged man sitting on a straw mat, dressed in gray cloth, haggard, raised his face when he heard the movement, a pair of gray empty eyes were embedded in his face, looking a little scary.He raised the corner of his mouth and said indifferently: "Your Majesty Yong, don't come here unharmed."

It was the blind Zou Tingyan, the number one counselor under Yongyi, the sixteenth prince.

When Yong Chen and the sixteenth prince Yong Yi went to the northwest to fight together, they had met Zou Tingyan on several occasions. I remember that he was a wise and indifferent counselor.

Liu Wuhua said: "You blind man, how do you know that the county king who came is the Yong county king?"

Zou Tingyan smiled and said: "Nowadays, is there any county king who can let the new king rest assured to investigate criminal officials? Master Liu, don't you think so?"

Liu Wuhua said: "How do you know that it was me who came with you?"

Zou Tingyan is still smiling, "When I was a teenager, I also sang poems and sang songs outside of class, and I also tasted the flute; when I was an adult, I also suffered in the court and gave up my life to obey the emperor's order. Going back 15 years, who would not I know you, Liu Wuhua, are the crown prince's number one trusted minister." He shook his head lightly, "Now is not the same as in the past, Mr. Liu, it's not time for you to be the only one."

"You know each other?" Yong Chen asked.

Zou Tingyan stood up, tall and slender, walked slowly to the prison gate, and said in a warm voice: "You made the king of Yongjun laugh. 16 years ago, I went to Beijing to take the exam. His Highness met once, and the one who accompanied him that day was Mr. Liu Wuhua Liu. Later, because of blindness, he missed the imperial examination, lived under him without a fixed place, and finally became a Qing guest under the sixteen princes. That was also fate. "

"Fortune tricks people." Yong Chen sighed, and said again: "Since you had a relationship with the emperor once, and you knew about Yong Yi's rebellion, why not only did you not report it, but instead fueled the flames and almost caused a catastrophe?"

"Why did King Yong make such a statement? Isn't this what the King wants to do?" Zou Tingyan was stunned, "That day in the northwest, I met His Highness the King. At that time, His Highness had a very big plan. I live in the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion The superior acted as an internal response, and arranged for His Royal Highness’s old troops to guard the city, and this is how His Royal Highness won the victory over the rebels—His Royal Highness asked this, but is he going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?”

Yong Chen was shocked, he felt the blood rushing to his brain, saw Liu Wuhua listening carefully, and said through gritted teeth: "Who arranged for you to be trapped in me?" He pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, "If you dare to speak nonsense, this palace will not dare to kill you ?"

"His Royal Highness is in a hurry." Zou Tingyan laughed "spouting", "You won't be able to get out of this cell with blood spattered for three feet, so you won't be afraid to turn around and you'll kill me with ginseng?"

Liu Wuhua also laughed.

Yong Chen was stunned for a moment.

Zou Tingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me. Prison is boring, and I was imprisoned here for several days, and I was almost bored to death. I couldn't help it for a while, and joked with Your Highness."

Yong Chen heaved a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that the palms holding the handle of the knife were slippery and full of sweat.

"Although it is a joke, it is not without the truth. I arranged Zhang Laoshi who was in charge of guarding the gate of the Forbidden Palace. Otherwise, how could he change from a civilian job to a military job as a powerless and powerless official? Just guarding this crucial city gate?"

Liu Wuhua said with a smile: "Then it seems that the master chose this Lao poem for the sake of King Yong?" As he spoke, he checked whether the little official at the side had accurately recorded Zou Tingyan's confession.

"Since I entered the residence of the sixteenth prince, I have gradually understood his disobedience. However, luck is not on his side. Now that I have seen it through, I naturally have to find a way out early. Arranging Zhang Laoshi is just paved for myself. It’s just a way out. One of the credits of the success of King Yong is one of them, but my real goal is the people in His Royal Highness’s mansion.” Zou Tingyan opened a pair of dull eyes and looked at Yong Chen, “There is a singer in His Highness’s mansion, called Li Man'er? She used to be my fiancée. She was my fiancée, and I fell in love with her. Later, I left home because of my blindness. His Royal Highness has entered the mansion."

This is really a hundred times, and then unexpected.

Yong Chen said: "This Li Man'er did mention that she once had a fiancé who was a scholar. It's just that she didn't know about your blindness."

When Li Man'er was mentioned, Zou Tingyan's face was finally moved.

"I also hope that His Highness the Prince of the County and Master Liu will report the truth. Today's Holy House is kind-hearted and will be able to see clearly."

Liu Wuhua asked: "Since you want to find a way out, why don't you find someone to tell me in advance and report to the Holy Spirit—wouldn't it be safer?"

Zou Tingyan smiled and said: "Your Majesty Liu took it for granted. I am a blind man, and I will never be able to serve in the court. I must find a place to settle down. The mansion of Yongjun, who has been favored by the emperor, is a perfect fit. Therefore, The credit should be given to King Yong, but it is not good to give it to you, Mr. Liu."

Liu Wuhua touched a soft nail, and only smiled: "The Qing guests in the county prince's mansion are naturally more comfortable."

"Lord Liu is wrong again." Zou Tingyan said: "Is it true that every county prince's mansion is the same? For example, in the former Zhongjun prince's mansion, it is a helpless move to be in it today."

The criminal minister's trial came to an end for the time being, and on the way back to the palace, Lianxi sent a letter from the mansion.

"Your Highness, everything in the mansion has been fine these few days. However, several adults in the army have been here, but left without seeing you. Also, this is a letter from Miss Li to you."

"Miss Li?"

"It's the Li Man'er who sang." Lianxi handed over the letter, "I don't know what happened these few days. I went out to burn incense for a while, and when I came back, I didn't eat or wash up. The little girl who served said that I was fast all day. Crying into tears..."

Hearing that Zou Tingyan mentioned Li Man'er, he wrote a letter right away.

Yongchen didn't open the letter, he returned to the palace and gave it to Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan first listened to Liu Wuhua's report, and when he heard Zou Tingyan's joke about Yongchen, he couldn't help but also laughed, "This person is still as narrow-minded as before." After receiving the letter, he asked, "What is this?"

Yong Chen said: "You just laugh, but my younger brother was scared to death by him. Well, it is said that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived, this is the letter from Li Man'er. My younger brother doesn't know what is written in it."

"Scare half your life? What are you afraid of? Do I still suspect you?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan opened the letter and said with a smile: "I see that you are getting bigger and bigger, but you are getting more and more courageous." smaller."

The letter was opened, but there were still two letters inside.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan picked up the two letters in his folder, glanced at the cover, and said to Liu Wuhua: "Liu Aiqing is tired from working hard for days, let's go to dinner and wait for my summons." The two letters in the folder were handed over to Yongchen.

Yongchen glanced at it, but saw one was written by a woman's graceful handwriting, and the other was the seal of General Han Yue of the Northwest Army.

"I think the people in your mansion didn't make it clear, so they sent the two letters together." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan chuckled and said, "It's not good if there is no mistress in the mansion. Your Princess Roulan has also gone back. I remember that you also have a marriage contract with Master Cai's granddaughter..." Chatted casually, seemingly not paying attention to the urgent letter from Han Yue.

"General Han's letter should be about the situation on the side of the Jin people." Yong Chen opened Li Man'er's letter first.

It turned out that Yongchen was staying in the palace, and it was rumored that the escort of King Yong was seriously injured. Li Maner was worried and went to the mountain to burn incense. As soon as he left the palace, he met the bottle treasure that had been guarding.This bottle of treasure was the boy who served Zou Tingyan in the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion. Under Zou Tingyan's instructions, he escaped ahead of time, and according to Zou Tingyan's instructions, he showed Li Man'er the letter written by Zou Tingyan.

Only then did Li Man'er realize that her fiancé left without saying goodbye, not because she saw that her family was in trouble, but because she was blind and arrogant and inferior, so she left without saying goodbye, and never returned to her hometown, and finally became a guest in the sixteenth prince's mansion .After settling down, Zou Tingyan learned of the affairs of Li Man'er's family, and searched everywhere for Li Man'er's whereabouts, and finally found the palace of the Prince of Yongjun.

In the letter, Zou Tingyan asked Li Man'er to tell King Yongjun and give him a chance to discern.Li Man'er's letter explained the situation, but finally said, whether or not to see Zou Tingyan is entirely up to His Highness, and don't interfere with state affairs because of her affairs.She is also a sensible woman.

After reading Li Man'er's letter, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "This Zou Tingyan had a relationship with me once, and he is a man of great learning. Yongyi's rebellion, he finally has the heart of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, so he gave this copy." If the credit is given to you, the merit and demerit are equal. He really wants to go to your house to reunite with this Li Man'er - whether you want to agree to him or not is up to you. I do have a bit of a heart to cherish my talent."

Yongchen agreed, and the eyes of both of them fell on Han Yue's letter.

There was a brief moment of silence in the hall.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan took a look at Yongchen, beckoned him to sit beside him, and said softly: "I see that you are often restless these few days, but where did you hurt, did you find out?" He stretched out his hand He stroked his forehead, "But he never had a fever."

Yongchen pinched Han Yue's letter and said, "It must be that the letter to the imperial court is still on the way."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "What's the matter? I don't care whether a letter is written to you or to the court. Apart from official business, General Han has a personal relationship with you. He writes to you for some things. Maybe it's more appropriate than writing to the court. What's more, you won't hide it from me—so why should you care?"

Yong Chen was moved, and said with a smile: "It's my younger brother who wants to go left." He said and opened the letter from Han Yue.

However, Han Yue said that he did not know the whereabouts of Emperor Jinglong, and that the Jin people's side had already settled down, and they were going to lead the Northwest Army southward to King Jingqin.It was Emperor Jinglong who was diligent, and he asked for someone who "lived to see people, and died to see corpses".

After reading it, Yong Chen said: "Your Majesty, this Han Yue is a rough man, he can't talk with his head. What he said can't be taken seriously!"

"What's the rush?" Emperor Jingyuan Yong Zhan said kindly: "I will take General Han's sincerity. How many second-hand ministers have there been throughout the ages? I dare not use such ministers. On the contrary, people like Han Yue can only rest assured when they use them. .”

Yong Chen said urgently: "Han Yue, a bastard, is really capable of sending troops south!"

"Well, doesn't he want to see people in life and dead bodies?" Emperor Jing Yuan Yongzhan smiled slightly, "Just let him meet Emperor Father."

"Father..."

"Earlier, Yongyi rebelled against Emperor Father, and I have advised Emperor Father to leave the palace in advance to avoid disaster."

"This is really..." Yong Chen was very excited, after all, he still had feelings for Emperor Jinglong, his father; but looking at the gentle smile of the new emperor, he was speechless.

When Emperor Jinglong came back, how would the prince brother, the new king, deal with himself?

To change anyone to be the new emperor would be to make the first emperor the real "first emperor" by any means.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stared at Yongchen, and said with a smile: "Why do you look at me like this? Do you think I will do everything possible to prevent my father Song Huizong from coming back like Song Qinzong?" He pinched Yongchen's cheek teasingly, He said angrily, "Brother just became an emperor, not a monster."

Yong Chen Hao Yan smiled, lowered his head, looked up at Jing Yuan Emperor Yong Zhan for a while, and said worriedly: "However, most of the people in the court are old ministers. After the father comes back, you, the Emperor... I am afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate at that time. Let the rebels take advantage of it." He paused, and then said: "Your Majesty spared Yong Yi's life, but you are kind, but you are also afraid of endless troubles."

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan shook his head, "Yongyi used to be very powerful, and many ministers in the court were related to him. If we pursue it seriously, people's hearts will be in chaos immediately. If Yongyi's life is killed immediately, I'm afraid his old troops will retaliate. It is more difficult to clean up. Now let’s stabilize the situation on the bright side first.”

"That's all right. It's just that I want to invite my father to come back now. Once my father is restored, if he releases Yongyi!"

"Yongyi is a traitor, why did the emperor let him out?"

"Why do you need to hide it from me?" When Yong Chen said it, he knew it was wrong, but there was no turning back, so he had no choice but to continue under the emperor's fierce gaze: "I know that the father has already had other ideas about the position of the prince. Thoughts. The timing is in Yongyi's favour, so why should he rush to do it?"

Emperor Jing Yuan remained silent forever.

"Even if you hide it from me, you will never be able to hide it from your father."

Emperor Jing Yuan Yong Zhan said: "I didn't intend to hide it from you."

Yong Chen said: "Your brother understands, it should be hidden from the world."

"The younger brother I taught is so smart that it really gives me a headache." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan shook his head and smiled, "I have my own way, you don't have to worry about it."

Yongchen still has to ask.

Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan had already stood up, "Come on, I've been busy all day today, and I've been quarreling with you so much that I've got a headache. Take a break, I still need to ask Liu Wuhua something."

Yongchen had no choice but to hastily eat dinner alone, and lay on the bed after grooming, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.In the afternoon in Zhao Prison of Dali Temple, when he came out of Zou Tingyan's cell, Liu Wuhua left first, he was left behind, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. That joke really scared me into a cold sweat."

Zou Tingyan walked up like a ghost, and squeezed his arm tightly, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me." He said, with cold fingers and a cold voice, he whispered in his ear: "If I didn't make a joke, Let me tell you first, when the new king thinks of this possibility, His Highness will not just break out in a cold sweat."

Yong Chen tossed and turned, thinking for a moment that before dinner, the emperor stroked his forehead and said with a smile, "I have become an emperor, not a monster." The gentle concern and gentle smile are like that of the former prince. brother is back...

He didn't sleep well, and in the middle of the night, he seemed to feel that someone was looking at him through the window paper, and he woke up suddenly from his dream.Faintly heard someone whispering in the ear room.

Yong Chen quietly got out of the bed, he didn't know why he had to tiptoe like this.

Through the flower stand and the screen, he gradually heard the voices in the ear room clearly.

It was the emperor and Liu Wuhua.

"What do you think of them?" asked the Emperor.

"The fifth prince is insane. The sixteenth prince just copies the scriptures every day, saying that he is praying for you, the emperor."

A moment of silence.

"Medicine?"

"Yes, I saw them mix it in tea with my own eyes. After half a month, the two of them will be physically weak, and then heart failure. It looks like they died of natural causes."

"Has everything been arranged properly?"

"Everything has been fully arranged. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

The emperor let out a long sigh, the indescribable loneliness and melancholy in the quiet night.

Another moment of silence.

The emperor said: "I am so sad, is Liu Aiqing indifferent?"

"Your majesty, I'm terrified."

"Forget it, even the Seventeenth Brother looks at me in awe, so how dare you say anything?"

"Your Majesty, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and I dare not wait..." Liu Wuhua didn't finish his sentence, it seemed that the emperor was tired of being perfunctory with such clichés, and signaled him to back down.

Yong Chen waited for a while without hearing a sound, and was about to turn back quietly, when he suddenly saw a pair of bright yellow boots embroidered with dragon patterns in the hollow under the flower stand, it was the emperor who walked over without making a sound.

Yong Chen was shocked, it was too late to turn around at this moment, the whole person froze.

Seeing that the emperor was about to turn around the flower stand.

Yong Chen was quick to gain wisdom, took two steps on the spot, rubbed his eyes and muttered: "Your Majesty, haven't you rested yet?" He bumped into Emperor Jing Yuan Yong Zhan who was walking over.

When the two met each other, they were both shocked.Just one true and one false.

Before Emperor Jing Yuan could speak, Yong Chen said first: "Your Majesty, are you still discussing matters with the ministers?" As he spoke, he pretended to have no heart in the city, and looked inward—there was no one in there, so Liu Wuhua was naturally Withdrew early.

Emperor Jing Yuan, Yong Zhan, remained calm, and said: "Just now I called Liu Wuhua to discuss a few words, and he has already been sent back. I am still talking about you."

"Speaking of my younger brother?"

"Exactly. I see that you are really bored in the palace these few days..."

Yong Chen quickly took advantage of the situation and said: "Then the emperor will let his younger brother go out..."

"But that doesn't work either. The people in Yongyi outside haven't cleaned up yet, and you have a big heart. If something happens, I'll feel sorry for you." Seeing that Yongchen was unhappy, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said again: " However, the mansion that was confirmed to be related to Yongyi's rebellion has already been investigated and dealt with, so we need to search it carefully. I'll leave this job to you, how about it?"

Copying a house has always been a fat job to make a fortune.

Seeing that Yong'an was in a daze, the emperor put his arm around his shoulders and said jokingly, "I remember that your garden in Gusu still needs a lot of money to repair it? Work hard, and I will go to your garden to see it." I don't know if it was called If he makes a fortune, he should cultivate the garden well.

Before Yongchen could react, the emperor said again: "You and Liu Wuhua will handle this matter together. Dealing with the officials below is very cumbersome. With him around, you can relax. I know you won't deal with him, Patience is a must - naturally you are the leader and he is the deputy, after all he still wants to listen to you, the county king."

Yong Chen didn't know how to react for a moment, should he accept it, thank him, or refuse?Just heard about the plot of the two monarchs and his ministers to assassinate Yong Dan and Yong Yi, Yong Chen's heart is extremely confused at this moment.

"Furthermore, I know that you have a little friendship with Lin Yushi's Yue family Jia's house. This Jia's house has also been involved in the Yongyi rebellion case this time. You can take care of it when you go on errands—I remember hearing you say, It was Lin Yushi's daughter who reported the letter to the Northwest Army. Speaking of which, I forgot about this female scarf..."

Yongchen just doesn't speak.

The emperor gradually stopped talking.In fact, he was not a person who talked a lot.

The moon is as cool as water.

In the quiet night, the two were relatively silent.

They are brothers, and they are also monarchs and ministers.

After a long time, Yong Chen came back to his senses and said: "I'm afraid I'm asleep." He flinched a bit, lifted his left foot that was already numb from the cold, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm only wearing a pair of clothes. Only one shoe." Saying that, he quickly ran into the bedroom and sat down, tucking his cold left foot under the warm quilt.

The emperor followed in, sat down on the couch under the window opposite the bed, and said in silence for a moment: "I know you have thoughts in your heart."

Yongchen lowered his head and rubbed his calf.

"Since you rescued him, all courtiers have received rewards, but you alone have not."

"How can my younger brother care about such things as rewards?"

Emperor Jingyuan laughed, "Of course you don't care about rewards. It's just that I really don't know what to reward you. Now that you are the king of the county, it is not uncommon to reward you with a prince.
