Sima Yu's sleep is generally relatively light, so she suddenly heard the sound of the stone wall knocking, and she was startled at first. But soon she became happy, because this secret passage was only known to her and Yang Yun.

"Yun'er, is that you?" Sima Yu immediately got up and asked in a low voice in the secret passage.

After hearing Yang Yun's answer, Sima Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the secret passage stone door and let Yang Yun enter his bedroom.

It's been a long time since I've seen my son, and now that I saw it unexpectedly, Sima Yu was so happy that she didn't know how to describe it, she looked at Yang Yun in front of her carefully, and it seemed that she couldn't get enough of it.

After hearing Yang Yun say what he was going to do, Sima Yu, who felt sorry for his son, immediately agreed, he didn't want Yang Yun to be punished for returning to Beijing without permission, and said that he would go to see Emperor Fu in person early tomorrow morning.

After saying this, Yang Yun took out another thing from his arms and handed it to Sima Yu.

Sima Yu took this thing and looked at it for a long time, and after reading it, her eyes were full of doubts, because she had never seen this thing before, what did it mean that her son suddenly gave him this thing?

But Sima Yu knew that Yang Yun would not take something out at will to entertain herself, so she picked up this thing again and carefully looked at every position of this thing.

In the end, the word "Jin" under this object surprised her, and then looked at this token-like thing with a green dragon engraved on it, Sima Yu immediately remembered something, and her face changed greatly.

"Could this be the Blue Dragon Token of the Great Jin, where did you get it?" Sima Yu said excitedly, and couldn't control his voice for a while.

Sima Yu's voice was a little loud, and she immediately alarmed Ye Qian, who was sleeping outside, and she immediately asked loudly outside, "Miss, is there something wrong?" ”

Ye Qian has been following Sima Yu's maid since she was a child, even if Sima Yu arrives in the cold palace, she will never give up, so Sima Yu can trust Ye Qian's loyalty.

"Yun'er is here, you help me guard the door, and no one is allowed to come in." Sima Yu walked to the curtain separating the two rooms and whispered to Ye Qian.

Although Ye Qian wondered how Yang Yun could appear in Sima Yu's bedroom unconsciously, she didn't ask anything, but just closed the doors and windows outside according to Sima Yu's arrangement, and guarded behind the door.

's mother is not an outsider, so Yang Yun told Sima Yu about the encounter with Sinan and others in the country of sorrow, as well as Sinan's identity.

Sima Yu is Sinan's daughter, but he has never met his father, because when Sinan left Xijing City, Sima Yu was still in the womb of Empress Cui and was not born.

I have never seen my father in my life, which is something that Sima Yu regrets very much, and now I heard that my father is still alive, Sima Yu immediately became excited, and I couldn't wait to leave immediately, go to the country of sorrow as soon as possible, and meet this old man who has reached the age of old age.

However, Sima Yu did not tell his son about this idea. Because she deeply knows that as an imperial concubine, she can't leave Beijing at will without a valid reason.

What's more, the person he wants to see is the emperor of the former Great Jin Dynasty, if this matter is not handled properly, not only will it hurt his father, but even his own son may be punished.

The news that Yang Yun brought to Sima Yu shocked Sima Yu very much, making her fall into silence for a long time

Something to reminisce.

But then, Yang Yun brought another piece of news that made Sima Yu ecstatic. Yang Yun's wife, Princess Chi Li of Wu, is pregnant.

These two news completely eliminated Sima Yu's sleepiness, so that after Yang Yun left, she was never able to fall asleep again.

Lying on the bed, her head was unusually clear, tossing and turning in the digestion, Yang Yun brought him the news. is also trying to think about how to tell Emperor Fu in the best way the news of Yang Yun's return, as well as Yang Yun's desire to check Emperor Fu's condition, and not to anger Emperor Fu because of this matter, causing his son to be punished.

After returning to King Wu's Mansion from Ningyu Palace, Yang Yun didn't go out again, and stayed in the palace to wait for news from the palace.

Sima Yu's work efficiency is still quite high, and the day after Yang Yun returned to the mansion, news came from the palace, but this news made Yang Yun feel very surprised.

Emperor Fu was unwilling to let him check his condition, but Emperor Fu was not angry about his private return to Beijing, and specially sent someone to summon Yang Yun back to his will, agreeing that he would return to the fiefdom after the year.

Not only that, but because it was close to the end of the year at this time, Emperor Fu simply gave orders to the princes who were crowned kings everywhere, telling them that they could return to Beijing for the New Year in advance.

Yang Yun thought about it, but he didn't think clearly, the reason why Emperor Fu didn't let him check his condition, but now in Xijing City, it is difficult to find someone who can analyze the situation for himself.

Emperor Fu's will made Yang Yun's return to Xijing justified, and he finally didn't have to hide in the mansion all day.

In the next few days, Yang Yun began a series of visits.

The first thing to visit is, of course, his father-in-law Chi Shangwen, when Chi Shangwen and his wife heard that their daughter was pregnant, the old couple smiled from ear to ear.

Worried about their daughter's health, Chi Shangwen and his wife immediately decided that Chi Li's mother would take a few maids and experienced mothers-in-law and an experienced stable woman, and immediately set off to Wu County to take care of their daughter.

In addition to Chi Shangwen, Yang Yun also visited some princes in the capital.

The first to visit, is in the capital is now the strongest in the power of the king of the victory Yang Ming and the king of the prime minister Yang Xian, because the power of the king of the victory is dominant, the other princes feel some threat, so they all united, the formation of a group headed by the king of the Xiang, and finally can barely compete with the king of victory.

The current situation is that the princes have changed their previous attitude of not opposing Yang Ming as the crown prince, and have begun to directly oppose him.

For the battle for the throne, Yang Yun wants to stay out of the matter, so for the two strongest princes at present, he is ready to adopt an attitude of not alienating and not being polite to a certain party.

This time, he took the initiative to meet his two brothers, just to show that he had no intention of the throne. At the same time, I don't want to get involved in any prince's struggle for the throne.

Although this kind of attitude, it is not good for any one to become an emperor. But at least at this stage, they should not come to offend again, and they are still a prince with a little strength.

In addition to the two princes, Yang Yun also visited some ministers in the court, but most of them were officials like Chi Shangwen who did not want to get involved in the dispute over imperial power.

Both Yang Yun and Ju Yuanguang believe that in fact, most of these neutral officials are smart people. They were able to get to where they are today, by they

It's all real talent and real learning, and this kind of person needs to be used no matter who becomes the emperor.

So this kind of person can mix smoothly for a long time in the officialdom. Having a good relationship with these people is actually very helpful for yourself.

One of Yang Yun's weakest links now is that there are very few officials who can speak for him in the DPRK and China. Therefore, before coming to Xijing City, Yang Yun's think tanks formulated a strategy for him to befriend these neutral officials.

Among such officials, the most representative is Taifu Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian is now old, and Zhao Qian has not arranged anything for him anymore, and he does not need to go to the court again, making him almost a first-class member forgotten by all the officials in the court.

Although Zhao Qian has no real power now, there are still many of his protégés and former officials in the court, and most of these people, like Zhao Gan, are unwilling to participate in the struggle for imperial power.

Yang Yun's visit made Zhao Gan very happy, and among all the princes and grandsons, Yang Yun was the most satisfying one for Zhao Gan. One is because Yang Yun is talented and is a "eugenic" under his subordinates, and more importantly, because Yang Yun does not fight for rights and sincerely does a lot of things for the people.

Yang Yun and Zhao Qian talked about some of his ideas for developing a fief, and also listened to some of his suggestions, and the old man was also very happy to hear the current situation of Yang Yun's fiefdom.

After visiting these princes and officials, Yang Yun also met a special person.

Hongbin Building in Xijing City, Yang Yun has not been here for a long time. Yang Yun specially changed his outfit and dressed up as a businessman, and quietly came here with only Zhong Wenrui and Chi Mu'er.

But when he came to the seat that had already been set in Hongbin Building, there was already a person wearing a hat sitting inside.

After seeing this person, Yang Yun was very happy, and immediately arranged for Chi Mu'er to guard the door and forbid anyone to disturb him.

At this time, only Yang Yun, Zhong Wenrui and the person wearing the hat were in the room, and this person took off the hat on his head and revealed his true face.

The person with the hat on his head is none other than Wu Yuanyu, who is currently very valued in the forces of the Prime Minister.

Zhong Wenrui looked at the young man in front of him and felt very shocked. Over the years, he also knew that Yang Yun had an important person in Xijing City who had been silently giving advice and delivering news to him, but he didn't expect this person to be an important think tank under King Xiang.

However, Zhong Wenrui's personality has always been calm, and he just greeted Wu Yuanyu after seeing him, without showing any strange expressions.

However, for Wu Yuanyu, he is no stranger to Zhong Wenruidao, and if he wants to give advice to his lord, how could he not know about these capable generals under Yang Yun.

"Let Brother Zhong and Mr. Wu meet today, because the two of them will do things in Xijing City in the future, and they know that they are their own people, and they can have some tacit understanding when doing things, but don't contact each other until they have to." Yang Yun said after introducing the two to each other.

"In addition, at present, there are very few people in Xijing City who can give me advice, and there are several important things at present, and I urgently need to hear everyone's opinions, so I took the risk to ask Mr. Wu over." Yang Yun paused and said.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Yun told Wu Yuanyu and Zhong Wenrui about the two problems that were currently bothering him: the situation of the Tsing Yi Sect and the condition of King Wu.

After listening to Yang Yun's narration, Wu Yuanyu and Zhong Wenrui did not speak, they both fell into deep thought, obviously they still need to digest these two things.
