August 15 is also Ji Ruhuan's eighteenth birthday, and they want to rush back to Kyoto before the midyear festival, so they speed up their pace on the way.

Hurried all the way, and finally arrived in Daming Kyoto on August 13.

The Ming Dynasty only experienced the war half a year ago, and it was not as prosperous as before, but after half a year of precipitation, Kyoto Linyuan finally had some festive atmosphere, and the streets were very lively, and red lanterns had been hung everywhere to welcome the arrival of the Midyear Festival.

For most of the year, the Ming Dynasty did not dare to fight with its neighbors, and the seven cities of Nanyang were still in the hands of the South Vietnamese State and were not taken back, but they only temporarily held the defense line and did not let the South Vietnam continue to advance northward.

On the side of the Great Zhou, because of the addition of the Yan State, Wu Yuexuan and Guo Cheng took the opportunity to recapture most of the cities from the hands of the Great Zhou, only a few large key cities on the border of Liaodong, which were guarded by a heavy army by the Great Zhou, and were still in the hands of the Great Zhou for the time being.

There are not many people in the hands of Wu Yuexuan and Guo Cheng, and they are all cautious and did not dare to go head-to-head with the big army of Da Zhou, but chose to rest and recuperate, and stabilize the situation first.

As for the rest of the city, one day, they will take it all.

And on the northern side, without the participation of Western Xia, Da Liang could only have a draw with the Zhenbei Army, but he failed to take advantage of the slightest.

After the Ming Dynasty experienced a bloodbath by the emperor, it also became extremely peaceful, and the emperor used his own iron-blooded means to solve the problem of refugees and military salaries.

Even if many famous families and nobles have suffered heavy losses for this matter, no one dares to say that it is not.

And the stormy Ming Dynasty has gradually begun to regain its vitality.

The return of Ji Ruhuan and Dugu Chiyan to Beijing added a little enthusiasm to Kyoto, which had gradually recovered its liveliness.

Perhaps these two people aroused the envy of many Ming courtiers, but the people of Kyoto and most of the courtiers were grateful to these two.

This Nine Emperor Uncle, who suddenly appeared, stabilized the situation at the most critical time of the Ming Dynasty, and personally went to Western Xia to persuade Western Xia to withdraw his troops and solve the crisis in the north.

And this Fengyang county lord went to the battlefield of Liaodong in person, and the brother and sister took the remnants of the army to assist the Liaodong Army to defend the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that this Yan country can help in time, and it is also because of this Fengyang county lord, it is said that this Fengyang county lord happened to save the life of the prince of Yan when he was in Jizhou, and he was the life-saving benefactor of the prince of Yan Guo, and the prince of Yan was able to send troops in time, but also to save the county lord of Fengyang and return her kindness of saving her life.

In short, now that the people of Kyoto mention the lord of Fengyang again, it is no longer any gossip about the water-based poplar flower of the lord of Fengyang County, but the glorious deeds of saving the brother in Liaodong with admiration.

Not only did the prince and Ji's family bring many courtiers to greet them at the gate of the city, but the people in the city welcomed them warmly.

Such a scene also frightened Ji Ruhuan, but seeing his father and second brother standing beside the prince heroically, Ji Ruhuan was still very happy.

In this life, it is finally because of his own changes, the emperor is still the emperor, the prince is still the prince, and his family is all right.

After some greetings, the group was warmly welcomed into Kyoto, and before they could go home, they were taken into the palace of eternal life, and the emperor had prepared a reception banquet for the two of them in the palace of eternal life.

got out of the carriage at the gate of the palace, but met the third prince in armor, and stood in front of Ji Ruhuan, and responded very loudly, "Look, is it very general-like?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cold look on the side shooting towards him.

The third prince's body couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly said, "My nephew has seen the Nine Emperor Uncles. ”

Dugu Chiyan said coldly, "Don't call me Nine Emperor Uncles. ”

The third prince was stunned and responded, "Ah, what do you call that?"

On the side, Ji Ruhuan responded with a smile, "Why do you just call Uncle Nine Emperors, call me Aunt Nine Emperors." ”

The corners of the third prince's eyes twitched, looking at the girl in front of him who was a few years younger than him, and he actually tried to hold back the sentence "Nine Emperor Aunts".

Ji Ruhuan responded with a satisfied smile, "Good nephew." ”

Dugu Chiyan saw that Ji Ruhuan was so evil, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, but he didn't continue to stop others from calling him Nine Emperor Uncle again, but just like Huan was going to marry him, and when he became a relative, Ruhuan would change his name to call him Xianggongfujun, and he didn't have to call him Nine Emperor Uncle anymore.

Fortunately, the third prince didn't know the reason why Dugu Chiyan didn't let him call him Nine Emperor Uncles, otherwise the weak mind that was already stimulated by Ji Ruhuan would probably be even worse.

The third prince relied on his familiar and thick-skinned temperament, so he kept getting around Ji Ruhuan and Dugu Chiyan.

Ji Ruhuan also learned from the mouth of the third prince himself that the third prince who was not doing his job properly finally changed his ways temporarily, replaced the original princess and the commander of the Yu family's Imperial Forest Army, and sat in the position of the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and won the trust of His Majesty, and he got along well with the prince.

When they arrived at the Palace of Eternal Life, it was rare that the emperor had already been waiting for them in the Palace of Eternal Life, and when everyone gave a salute, the emperor beckoned Dugu Chiyan and took Ji Ruhuan to sit on the first place on his right hand.

The next one on the left hand side is the crown prince, which shows the importance that His Majesty attaches to Dugu Chiyan and Ji Ruhuan.

On both sides of the main hall, the important ministers of the court also sat in turn.

At this time, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty have also undergone earth-shaking changes, the original important ministers of the court, except for the Ji family who has been trying their best to support His Majesty, have almost fallen, and the mother family of the crown princess has been suppressed, the Mu family of the Marquis of Dingyuan, the Fu family of the Marquis of Qingyuan, the retired Confucian Wang Ge Lao and the Wang family and other families, and gradually stepped onto the historical stage of the Ming Dynasty.

After Wu Taishi and the Queen Mother experienced the affairs of Liaodong again, they fell silent, and Wu Taishi also began to stay in his own house without leaving home, and no longer came out to jump.

The Queen Mother did not have the support of Wu Taishi, and she stayed quietly in her Fushou Palace, not daring to come out to point fingers.

Wu Taishi is not worried about his Wu family, after all, his Wu family also has an excellent son, who personally formed the Liaodong Army in Liaodong and guarded the Liaodong border for the Ming Dynasty.

The eldest princess and the Yu family, although they did not participate in it at the beginning, but they held the military power of the Royal Forest Army and stood by and watched, obviously waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and they were fools who could see it.

Now that the Imperial Forest Army has fallen into the hands of the three princes, the three princes are not close to the eldest princess and the Yu family, and it is impossible for them to rely on them.

Although the emperor did not punish the eldest princess and the Yu family, it could be seen from the emperor's attitude that he did not like them, and the other courtiers naturally did not dare to get too close to them.

The eldest princess and the Yu family were completely treated coldly by the emperor, isolated by the courtiers, and lost their power.
