Yang Yun and Ju Yuanguang and others were right in their estimates. Yang Yun was in Wu County, and greatly defeated the bandits who had been entrenched in Wu County for many years. Let the whole country of Dafu know that King Wu has a brave and good fighting team.

So on the way back to Xijing, there was no unsightly bandits who came to them for trouble. So Yang Yun's team, which was only more than 1,000 people, returned to Xijing City smoothly.

Looking at the gate of Xijing City in front of him, Yang Yun's heart was surging, and after two years of separation, he finally returned here.

Only Kong Yuan, Yan Feifei and others came to greet Yang Yun at the gate of the city, which was the effect that Yang Yun deliberately pursued. This time, the news of Yang Yun's return from Wu County was highly confidential, so there were very few people to greet him.

It's different from the last time I returned to Xijing from Liuyi. Because now that he has been crowned king, he still has a fairly large fief.

Now Yang Yun, in the eyes of the Dafu government and the opposition, has the possibility of competing for the throne, and his return to Beijing will of course attract countless eyes from the top and bottom of Dafu.

Therefore, Yang Yun chose to enter Beijing in a low-key manner this time, although he also knew that it was impossible for such a large team to return to Beijing to hide from the major forces in the capital. But he wanted to make everyone say that he had no intention of fighting for the throne through this act.

Judging from the news that Yan Feifei delivered to himself, now in the capital, the competition between several princes has reached the point of incompatibility. Therefore, he must keep a low profile, and he must not become the target of several other forces

Although Yang Yun expressed his attitude early, he wanted to stand behind Yang Ming, the victor of the Five Princes. But in fact, for a long time, Yang Yun rarely participated in some activities of Yang Ming's forces, so he was not the most core figure in the Shengwang forces.

In this way, he has always been in a close relationship with Yang Ming, but the advantage is that the other forces have no idea of fighting Yang Yun again.

But now, Yang Yun has sealed the king and has his own fief, and a large group of people have gathered around him. The right to speak in the court has also been greatly improved, and he is no longer the cowardly and timid Thirteen Princes in the eyes of everyone.

When leaving Wu County, Yang Yun discussed with Ju Yuanguang and others the strategy of returning to Xijing this time. We have formulated a strategy of speaking less and speaking less and keeping a low profile as much as possible.

What happened next made Yang Yun feel very surprised, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable.

"His Royal Highness King Wu! King Sheng will hold a banquet in the palace at noon tomorrow, and I hope His Royal Highness King Wu can attend on time! ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu! The emperor ordered you to go home for a short rest, and then go to Ronghua Hall to face the saint later. ”

As soon as he arrived at the gate of King Wu's mansion, a subordinate and a father-in-law stood at the door and passed two messages to Yang Yun. Yang Yun was secretly surprised when he heard this, these people in Xijing City were really powerful. They didn't tell anyone the exact time they would return to Xijing, but they still knew they were back.

What surprised Yang Yun was still to come, and he had just returned to King Wu's mansion for a short rest, when several groups of officials from the imperial court came to visit. Gifts were sent one after another, and for these visits, Yang Yun asked Kong Yuan to be in charge of receiving them on the grounds that he was tired all the way, very tired, and needed to rest.

The father wanted to see him, and Yang Yun certainly didn't dare to slack off. Back in the house, I took a hot bath. Take a short rest, and then head to the palace.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" In the Ronghua Palace, Yang Yun saluted his father. After sitting down, Yang Yun looked at the old man in front of him, he hadn't seen him for two years, and Emperor Fu's face was much older, it seemed that the king of this country was not easy to be!

"Father! No matter how heavy the national affairs are, you must also pay attention to your body! Looking at Emperor Fu, this old man who has always been very strict with himself, has more gray hair on his head and more wrinkles on his forehead. The originally stiff back also became a little rickety, and Yang Yun felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Ahem, a lot of people love this position, but they don't know how hard it is to sit in my position. I also want to sit at home like ordinary people and enjoy my old age in peace. But there are many people here and outside who are looking at me, looking at the position under my buttocks, so that I can't worry for a while. Emperor Fu sat in his place and let out a long sigh.

"Father! My brothers are very capable, let them do more if there is anything, you don't need to do everything yourself! Yang Yun said to Emperor Fu.

"Hmph, how many of them? is busier than me as an emperor all day long, how can I have time to share my worries? Father said with some affection and unhappiness.

"I read the secret report, you have done a good job in Wu County in the past two years!" Emperor Fuhuang Yang Chengfeng suddenly changed the topic, and there was a hint of joy on his face.

"My son made some efforts. The group of people under his command were relatively effective and did some things that made the people happy. Yang Yun replied respectfully.

"The people's requirements are actually not high, which people are good for themselves and which people are not good for themselves? In fact, he knew it in his heart. It's a pity that many officials in the world think more often about their own interests, and don't really stand in the perspective of the people and really do something for them. Emperor Fu said with some deep feelings.

After a pause, Emperor Fu picked up the cup in front of him and took a few sips, and the father-in-law next to him immediately refilled the tea for him. Father leaned back on the chair, looked at Yang Yun who was sitting at the bottom of his hand, and then said:

"Do you want to be emperor?" A few words popped out of his father's mouth, but Yang Yun was taken aback. He hurriedly stood up, bowed to Emperor Fu, and then said loudly:

"Father, the child is lazy by nature, likes to play chess with a group of friends, drink tea, and live a freehand leisure life, if you want me to govern a county, I can still do my best, I am too tired to govern the country, so I have never had an idea about this throne."

"That's fine, or I'll have to think about it. Get rid of the gang around you! Father, touched the cup in his hand and said lightly.

This sentence of the father's understatement scared Yang Yun into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly took the cup on the table in his hand and drank several sips in a row, and his mood calmed down.

"Everyone thinks I'm old, deaf and blind, but I know everything they do, I just don't want to interfere with them!" After a pause, the Emperor continued.

"Do you know why I forcibly welcomed your mother into the official ranks? That's because I know there's a bunch of people around her, and I can take them all and kill them. However, in this way, it will cause strong dissatisfaction among some people who are loyal to the previous dynasty. And welcome your mother into the palace and become my concubine, even if these people are not used by me, they will be less hostile to me! Emperor Fu said again.

Listened to the words of my father. Yang Yun couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, this old man sitting in front of him actually knew about the existence of the Shadowless Guard.

"I also know that this group of people is now following you, and the former generalissimo of the Chu State has also become your command, right? But these people are really good, they help you govern Wu County more and more prosperous, as long as you don't participate in the struggle for the throne, I can pretend that I don't know anything. Emperor Fu said indifferently.

"Actually, who are the people in the court who support your brothers? What troops can be mobilized? I don't know it completely, but I can guess it all. But I pretend that I don't know anything, and when they fight, whoever wins in the end will give the throne to whomever I want, because we need a decisive and leading person to be the emperor. "Father's words are that the more Yang Yun listens to it, the more frightened he becomes, he doesn't know why Emperor Fu came to talk to him about this today.

These sons of mine, as long as they have the ability, anyone can be the emperor, but my throne will not be passed on to you. So you have to remember that you can develop your fiefdom well, but if something happens, I can quickly cut off all your wings. Father looked at Yang Yun and said sternly.

"My son never wanted to sit on this throne, but I still wanted to ask my father to tell me why?" Yang Yun felt the sweat in his palms and wet the cup.

"My father, your grandfather, seized the throne of the Great Jin Dynasty and established the Kingdom of Dafu. After his death, he passed the throne to me. Of course, it is impossible for me to return the throne to the hands of the Great Jin, so that I will become an unfilial descendant. So since I was a child, I suppressed you and didn't give you a chance. This can be regarded as an explanation to the courtiers who support me.

But now that you've grown up, you've shown your talent, and you've got a lot of supporters in the court. That's why I'm calling you here today to hear you give me a promise. You can be an idle prince, or you can be an important minister of my Dafu court, but you can never covet the throne. Emperor Fu looked at Yang Yun with a solemn expression, waiting for his reply.

"Good! I can promise my father that I will never compete with these brothers of mine for the throne. Yang Yun only thought about it for a short time, then stood up and expressed his attitude to his father.

Yang Yun's answer made Emperor Fu very satisfied, and his complexion immediately improved a lot. Next, Fuhuang talked with Yang Yun about the construction of Fuxian County with great interest.

For some of the things Yang Yun did in Wu County, Emperor Fu also expressed his satisfaction, but at the same time gave him some reasonable suggestions. My father has stood at the center of power in this country for many years, and he has a lot of experience in the development of people's livelihood and the relationship between him and his subordinates.

Back in King Wu's mansion, Yang Yun sat in his courtyard and fell into deep thought. Today's conversations, it takes a lot of time to digest.

Regarding Emperor Fu's practices, although Yang Yun had no idea about the throne in his heart, he was still a little unwilling, but from his father's point of view, he also understood Emperor Fu's thoughts.

Judging from the current situation, if he becomes the emperor, then they will not be able to get along with the courtiers who were loyal to the previous Great Jin Dynasty and the achievements of the Dafu Imperial Court now.

However, there are some benefits to this conversation. The meaning revealed from the words of the father. He can develop his power in Wu County, as long as he does not touch the bottom line of the struggle for imperial power. Emperor Fu would not interfere too much, and in this way, he also eliminated some of the long-standing worries in his heart.
