Chapter 8: The Mother's Gap
Yun Tian, who received the final judgment of Emperor Jin against Xi Ze, sat on the bed, stared out the window, and was silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Lan Jun sighed: "I said a long time ago that the politics of the Jin State are complicated, and I told you not to get involved, but you just didn't listen!" How dangerous this riding and archery thing is, but you should only think of it as an ordinary competition! Alas...... Now that the East Palace of the Jin Kingdom is hanging, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, any seemingly trivial thing can become a battlefield for the power struggle of the emperor and the prince, and this invisible scheming is the real creepy! Yun Tian, if you are so reckless again, how will the queen mother live? ”
Yun Tian didn't seem to hear Lan Jun's words, and asked himself: "Emperor Jin's verdict is very unpredictable, I don't know what it means, does the queen mother feel that King Gong has been wronged?" ”
Lan Jun said lightly: "Whether King Gong was wronged or not is not important now. ”
"Doesn't matter?!" Yun Tian was stunned when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Lan Jun, and said with a little urgency, "Why isn't it important?" Doesn't the queen mother want to know who is behind this riding and shooting? ”
Lan Jun snorted coldly: "This murderer is just among the princes of this Jin Kingdom, how can you find it alone?" If King Gong really wanted to harm you, why did he ask you to send people all the way to escort you from Yan Kingdom to the imperial capital in the first place? In this matter of riding and shooting, King Gong himself is also deeply involved in the game set up by others, and you and King Gong have become chess pieces in the hands of others! What you have to think about now is not how to catch the murderer, but how to survive in the Jin Kingdom! Yun Tian, you must understand that now that you and I are under the fence, we can't stand on our own, so we must find a backer in the Jin Kingdom to protect us through the next road. ”
"Backer?" Lan Jun said very reasonably, but Yun Tian was still puzzled, "But...... Didn't the Queen Mother say that your relatives are no longer alive? Who can be our backer in the Jin Kingdom? ”
Lan Jun looked closely at Yun Tian's eyes and replied categorically: "Emperor Jin! ”
This answer made Yun Tian a little incredulous: "Emperor Jin? Why Emperor Jin? ”
However, there was no trace of waves on Lan Jun's face: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, there is not much truth at all, one qiē is just to survive......"
After a qiē returned to calm, the Lantern Festival in the Jin Kingdom this year was extremely lively.
In the main hall, the musicians play all kinds of musical instruments, silk and bamboo, and the dancing girls are beautiful.
The people on the seat are staggered and happy.
Yun had no intention of watching the singing and dancing in the hall, and when he was half-drunk, he got up and left the table alone.
Outside the hall, the evening breeze blows gently on the face, bringing a few wisps of cold, but also taking away a bit of wine, very refreshing and comfortable. Yun Tilt along a path, slowly moving forward, walking, the lights gradually faded, only to see the end of the trail, pavilion stands an arch bridge, under the blur of the light, it can be vaguely seen that the arch bridge is made of large bluestone bricks, not the white jade bricks commonly used in the Jin Palace, Yun Tilt secretly thought, she probably walked to a sparsely populated place, which is in line with her pursuit of tranquility at the moment, so she boarded the arch bridge, and looked at the Jin Palace by the railing. I saw all kinds of lanterns in the distance, dotted with stars, colorful, bright colors directly compared to the stars in the entire night sky.
In the dark blue sky in the distance, colorful fireworks rose, a huge flower vied with each other, although it was fleeting, but they all released the ultimate life at that moment with the most beautiful attitude, and instantly illuminated the originally dark night as if it were day, so the entire Jin Palace became real and illusory under the corresponding backdrop of this fireworks and palace lanterns, like a fairyland, it was really beautiful!
Yun Tian gradually became obsessed, and at this moment, a low voice suddenly came from beside him: "Princess...... How can you enjoy the lanterns here alone? ”
Yun Tian heard the sound and slowly turned to look, but it was Xi Ze, under the shadow of the lamp, his slightly drunk eyes were as bright as a stone, charming and charming, Yun Tian couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "Gong Wang ......"
Xi Ze walked forward and stood still not far from Yun Lean, his voice was gentle and seemed to have some shallow feelings: "It's windy at night, don't catch a cold!" ”
Yun Tianshicai's slightly surprised expression disappeared at this moment, and his voice was a little lazy: "Although the atmosphere in the Guangxian Hall is jubilant, but in the end, the smell of wine is rushing to the nose, the voice is noisy, and it makes people have a headache, although the evening breeze is cool, it is pleasant to the soul, and it is also very comfortable to blow this evening breeze!" ”
"Hehe......" Xi Ze moved on to the next topic with a slight apology, "I haven't had a chance to apologize to the princess, I am very ashamed, after all...... It's me who caused the princess to be injured......"
When Yun Tian heard this, a polite smile appeared on his delicate and flawless face: "This princess is blessed with a great life, isn't she standing here now?" ”
The slightly playful tone reminded Xi Ze of the figure she stood on the red foal that day, she will always be her, just like herself, she will not be knocked down lightly!
Xi Ze took a deep breath, his expression was slightly gloomy, but his tone became categorical: "I am relieved to see that the princess is safe and sound." As for the matter of riding and shooting, I will definitely investigate it to the end, and I will definitely give the princess an explanation at that time! What I owe, I've written down! ”
"So good! Then this princess is waiting for good news! Although she didn't have conclusive evidence, she felt that Lan Jun's analysis was reasonable, and she felt that the matter of riding and shooting was not done by Xi Ze, and there must be some conspiracy in it.
"I won't let the princess down!" Xi Ze smiled faintly, in fact, in his opinion, most of the things about riding and shooting were done by King Qi, so Xi Ze couldn't help but worry, "It's just ...... The situation of the Jin Kingdom is complicated, whether it is the previous dynasty or the harem, it is far from being as calm as water on the surface, and now the enemy is dark and I am clear, I hope that the princess can stay out of the matter when the situation changes, and not be innocently stirred in! ”
Everyone persuaded her like this, but she was stubborn: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!" Why should His Royal Highness King Gong bother about the affairs of this princess, I am afraid that you are already too busy to take care of yourself! ”
"If you are strong, you should help the world!" Xi Ze did not fluctuate because Yun Tian refused his concern, and remained gentle and calm. Such an answer was taken for granted by him, and since he was a child, he believed that he was destined to be a strong man in the future.
"Helian Xize, this princess admits that King Gong of the Jin Kingdom lives up to the reputation of the god of war and is indeed a strong person, but this princess is not a weak person!" Yun Tian stretched out his moist and slender fingers like onion roots, pointed to the lanterns in the distance, looked at Xi Ze fixedly, and said, "You wait and see, one day this princess will be like those lanterns, no matter where she stands, she will be the dazzling one!" ”
"It turns out that I am the same person as the princess......" He met her gaze and smiled widely.
As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, the matter of the establishment was brought to the court.
Emperor Jin planned to give Lan Jun the right position in the middle palace on the grounds that Lan Jun was the orphan of He Youguang, the captain of the school, and had made outstanding contributions.
Captain He Youguang is a general of the previous dynasty, and it has been more than 30 years since his death, and there is no way to verify it, and more importantly, Lan Jun, as the widow of Emperor Yan, how can he be in the middle palace of the Jin Kingdom?
It should have been opposed by the whole dynasty, but the Yue family and King Gong's faction led by Yue Liang, the Qing of Taichang Temple, knelt down and seconded it.
As a result, the matter of the establishment was finalized in the quick battle of Emperor Jin.
When Yun Tian received the order in the hotel, he could hardly believe his ears. What do you want? Why did the supreme emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty marry the widow of Emperor Yan? In order to entrap the vassals? It's a ridiculous joke!
However, at this moment, the anger completely buried these doubts, and after the inner eunuch who announced the decree left, Yun Tian was furious and said: "It's really too bullying, my father's bones are not cold, and Emperor Jin can't wait to canonize his mother as the queen of Jin, why?" For the beauty of the queen mother? ”
Hearing this, Lan Jun immediately closed the doors and windows, and after making sure that there was no one around, he turned around and said sharply to Yuntian: "Enough!" This is the world of the Jin people, are you so open-mouthed, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? ”
"Mother, aren't you angry? It's only been a long time since my father left, and Emperor Jin has bullied my orphans and widows like this, how can I still have the appearance of a benevolent monarch......"
"Shut up!" Lan Jun interrupted Yun Tian's words and said, "Why can't you always remember what I told you?!" Now we are under the fence, and everything must be restrained! ”
Lan Jun's reaction was greatly beyond Yun Tian's expectations: "Queen Mother, do you want to succumb to this holy decree and submit to Emperor Jin?" ”
"As I said earlier, we simply don't have a choice!"
Lan Jun, who was presented in front of Yun Tian at this moment, almost made Yun Tian doubt his eyes: her face was as calm as water, without joy or sorrow, without waves. However, the more calm she became, the more angry Yun Tian became. How could the proud, strong and decisive mother in memory be so stoic and compromised? What changed the mother in such a short period of time: "Queen Mother, why did you choose to compromise so lightly?" Although we came to the Jin Kingdom as vassals, we are also human beings and have personalities, what do we endure again and again? It's their step-by-step approach! Do you have to see us secretly give birth to the Jin Emperor to be satisfied? ”
"Shut up!"
"Queen Mother's ......"
"This matter is a foregone conclusion, you don't have to say anything, I will handle my affairs myself, you don't have to worry about it!"
Lan Jun, who was so forbearant and compromised, was really strange, Yun Tian took a few steps back in disbelief, and then ran towards the door.
