Chapter 167: Those who know my heart, my sister too
On the Huoyi tribe's side, it has been more than two days since Song Deng and Thunder left, but they have not seen any news at all, and no one has returned. What the situation in Chang'an City was, she didn't know, she was very anxious.
Jiang Wu walked out of the tent and saw many Huo Yi people leaving in a hurry, "Eh, what are you doing here?" ”
"Back girl, it's the king and the Thunder Commander who are back!"
Jiang Wu was overjoyed! "Really?! They're back?! ”
"Yes, girl, I'm going to meet the king." After speaking, he bowed his head at her and hurried away.
Song Deng and Thunder are back, does it mean that things have come to an end?! She didn't care much, and hurriedly followed.
At the entrance of the Huoyi tribe, Song Deng and Thunder were riding horses, surrounded by the sound of huoyi people huddling and cheering.
"Song Deng!"
Song Deng saw Jiang Wu at a glance and immediately dismounted, "Princess! ”
"Song Deng, you're back."
Song Deng grinned, "Yes, we're back." ”
"How's it going? What about Your Highness?! Jiang Wu asked anxiously.
Jiang Wu's words fell, and he glanced at the figure behind him, "Your Highness!" She trotted past Song Deng and walked to Yun Rongjue's side, "Your Highness, you're okay." ”
The little girl's eyes looked at Yun Rongjue, with worry and joy in her eyes.
Yun Rongjue looked at it, the corners of her thin lips were slightly pulled, and she took the little girl into her arms, "It's okay." ”
Song Deng looked at the two people hugging each other, blinked, and turned to the side.
After a while, Yun Rongjue let go of the little girl and looked at Song Deng, "King Huoyi, thank you for this incident." ”
Song Deng smiled, "Eh, don't be polite to me, this matter, I don't all help you, helping you is also equivalent to helping myself and our Huoyi tribe, and ......" Song Deng glanced at Jiang Wu, "The princess's business is my business, how can I Song Deng ignore it." ”
Yun Rongjue smiled and glanced at the little girl beside her.
Song Deng then said: "As long as you don't forget to promise us, that's fine." ”
"Don't worry, I will not break my promise, and after everything in the palace is settled, I will definitely invite King Huoyi into the palace to discuss."
"Okay."
"It's getting late, so we'll go back first." Yun Rongjue said.
Song Deng bowed his head and watched Yun Rongjue and the others leave, until their figures completely disappeared from view, and he slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Your Majesty, did you really let them go like this?" Thunder spoke.
"What, what else do you want?"
"It's not a small idea, it's ...... Don't you like Jiang Wu girl very much, why don't you take advantage of the situation. Lei Ting could see that Song Deng was not only grateful to Jiang Wu, but also liked it.
Song Dengdang glanced at the thunder, "If you want me to say that you are a rough man, that is the princess respected by this king, what can you take it or not, the princess and the regent, oh no, now it is the Great Liang Emperor, the kind of relationship between them, this king is not a fool can you still see it?" The princess likes him, how can this king force the princess. ”
Thunder responded again and again, "Yes, yes, or the king is generous!" ”
……
Jiang Wu followed Yun Rongjue and left the Huoyi tribe, and after a group of people entered Chang'an City, they did not return to the palace, but went to the palace.
Jiang Wu saw that she was about to reach the gate of the palace, and she was a little puzzled, she put down the carriage curtain, turned her head and asked, "Your Highness, aren't we going back to the palace?" ”
It's not strange that Yun Rongjue has something to do and wants to enter the palace, but it's not necessary to take her into the palace with her.
Yun Rongjue's generous palm fell on the back of her hand, "Let's not go back to the palace." ”
Yun Rongjue didn't say it clearly, Jiang Wuxu blinked, and he couldn't understand it for a while.
The carriage entered the palace, all the way to the entrance of the palace, Jiang Wu followed the carriage and looked up, the palace of nourishing the heart.
"See the Emperor." The eunuchs and guards at the entrance of the hall all knelt down and bowed to Yun Rongjue.
Emperor?
Jiang Wu's eyes widened and he looked at the man beside him, "Your Highness......"
Yu Lie was beside him, smiling and reminding, "Jiang Wu, it's time to call the emperor instead." ”
Emperor?
Your Highness...... Ascended to the throne?
Jiang Wu was shocked, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
Yun Rongjue smiled and led the little girl into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After Jiang Wu entered, it took a long time to digest the fact that Yun Rongjue had ascended the throne.
"What? My sister is not happy when I ascend the throne? Yun Rongjue was still stunned when she saw her, and opened her voice.
Jiang Wu shook his head, "No, Xiao Wu is happy for His Highness, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"Since ancient times, the emperor has been busy, and many things have to be dealt with, Xiao Wu is happy for His Highness, but he is also worried that His Highness is too hard."
Yun Rongjue listened to the little girl's words, chuckled, and reached out to hold her little hand, "I really didn't intend to sit in this position, but then I ......"
Jiang Wu looked at him, "What later?" ”
Yun Rongjue's lowered eyes slowly raised, looking at Jiang Wu, there was deep emotion in his eyes, "Later, I figured out one thing, only if I can control everything, can I protect the most important thing." ”
Jiang Wu was slightly flustered, and the two stared at each other for a long time.
It took a moment for them to slowly retract the same glimmer in each other's eyes.
Jiang Wu suddenly remembered something, "Your Highness, where is my sister?" Is she okay? ”
Now that His Royal Highness has ascended the throne, there has been another change in this palace, and I think that before she came back, there was a period of unrest in this palace.
"Don't worry, your sister is fine in Muyan Palace, and this time I can ascend the throne, your sister also has a great merit in it." Yun Rongjue said.
Jiang Wu was stunned, "Sister is meritorious?" What did my sister do? She was surprised, could it be that her sister was also involved in these big things?
"Sister, do you still remember the unsolved case thirty years ago that the Empress Dowager ordered me to investigate?"
Jiang Wu nodded.
"Your sister sent the news to me at a critical time, and it was also because of the news she transmitted in time that she helped me to solve that matter more smoothly, and that matter was solved smoothly, so that the Empress Dowager was completely blocked, and I was able to win those chips, your sister is not a big achievement."
Jiang Wu nodded, joy and surprise were intertwined, she never thought that Sister Yuyan would also be involved in these things.
"Your Highness, Xiao Wu wants to meet her sister."
Yun Rongjue chuckled and agreed to her.
After Jiang Wu left from the Heart Cultivation Palace, he went to Muyan Palace.
In the Jiaofang Palace, Fu Dong hurriedly ran in, "Queen Mother." ”
"Fudong, what are you doing in such a hurry, now is not the time when you are in the palace, you can't be so reckless." Jiang Sumo said.
"Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong, but the slave and the maid have something very important to tell."
"Speak slowly."
"Niangniang, Jiang Wu...... It's back. ”
Jiang Sumo's hand trembled, and she accidentally knocked the book in her hand to the ground, and it took her half a while before she came back to her senses and looked at Fu Dong, "What did you say?" Jiang Wu is back? But really? ”
Fu Dong nodded heavily, "It's true, right now Jiang Wu has gone to Muyan Palace to see Yu Jieyu." ”
Jiang Sumo's eyebrows frowned slightly, holding up a hint of confusion, "She's back, what's the matter, hasn't she disappeared for a few days?" Why did you come back all of a sudden? Be...... Did the emperor come back to her? ”
"I heard that it seems to be, just an hour ago, she followed the emperor back to the palace."
Jiang Sumo was silent for a moment.
"Niangniang, Miss Jiang Wu is back, what are we going to do?" Fu Dong asked worriedly.
Jiang Sumo was still silent, and only after a while did he slow down, with a gentle smile on his face: "What should I do, she has been missing for so many days, and this palace has always been worried, but now it's okay, it's also a good thing that she has returned safely." ”
"Mother's ......"
"Okay, you go to the small kitchen to see how dinner is prepared, and when the time comes, the emperor should come over for dinner."
The sun outside gradually set with the hour, until late at night, the Jiaofang Hall has been quiet, and there is laughter from time to time on the side of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Jing Ai Books

In the Xuanshu Palace, all the ministers were there, and in a few days, Yun Rongjue put an end to the previous turmoil, and dealt with the people who committed the rebellion according to the law.
"Your Majesty, there is one matter, and the minister should give everyone an explanation."
Yun Rongjue looked at the minister who spoke, and knew what he was going to say, "Wang Qing wants to talk about the Empress Dowager?" ”
"Back to the emperor, yes, in the past, the empress dowager and the emperor who was still the regent, the two powers were divided and balanced, and the management of Da Liang, however, the empress dowager did all kinds of wrong things because of her own selfishness, and later she ignored the people and the foundation of Da Liang, and acted willfully, making Da Liang almost crumbling, and the emperor and ministers implored the emperor to punish him severely."
"Please punish the emperor severely."
"Please punish the emperor severely."
Many ministers knelt on the ground and demanded that Chu Yin be severely punished.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, the Empress Dowager is certainly at fault, but she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the emperor's biological mother, and then the empress dowager's respect, even if there is a mistake, you should also take care of it to save her face, just give a small precept, and think that the empress dowager also knows her mistakes."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
In the court, there were two voices, one begging him to punish Chu Yin severely, and the other begging for leniency.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers agree with what Lord Wang said, it should be severely punished, and it can't be treated leniently because of the various identities of the Queen Mother, those things that the Queen Mother did before, did not think about the slightest mother-son relationship to the emperor, as Lord Wang said, and almost made Da Liang precarious, now it is fortunate that everything is calm, I Da Liang returns to the old days, if it is unfortunate, this consequence is not something we can bear." Yun Huang said.
Yun Rongjue quietly listened to the argument of several people, he turned his eyes slowly, looked at Guan Yue, who had been keeping his head down and silent, and then spoke, "Lord Guan, this matter, according to you, what do you think?" ”
Guan Yue's back was cold, and he turned sideways, "Back to the emperor, old minister, don't dare to say more." ”
Yun Rongjue smiled, "What's wrong with your lord, you talk about the court on weekdays, and your lord is quite positive, but today, you shirk it." ”
"The old minister is stupid and doesn't dare to talk nonsense."
"Lord Guan's words are wrong, you are also a three-generation old minister, your status in the court is not comparable to few people, and you have always been shrewd and smart, with a clear mind, how can your opinion be a foolish opinion, Lord Guan should not excuse himself, and tell me, your opinion, should it be a heavy punishment or a small commandment?"
Yun Rongjue forced this piece of potato to Guan Yue.
Guan Yue panted for a long time.
"Uncle."
"Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and your decision is ...... It's the old minister's idea. Guan Yue said.
The smile between Yun Rongjue's thin lips became more and more obvious.
The old fox is still good enough.
"Okay, this matter, I will think about it again and retreat."
After retreating, Yun Rongjue left Xiao Qijin alone.
"What does the emperor command?"
"Lord Xiao has always been smart, what do you have any opinions and thoughts on this matter?" Yun Rongjue asked.
Xiao Qijin lowered his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the thoughts and opinions of the ministers, as well as the Weichen's, are not important, the important thing is that the emperor, the emperor, you have asked so many people, in fact, you have already made up your mind in your heart, right?" Why do you need to ask Weichen again. Xiao Qijin replied.
Yun Rongjue looked at Xiao Qijin, his elder brother is extremely smart.
"If I really punish her, Lord Xiao will be uncomfortable."
Xiao Qijin did not deny and nodded, "The Empress Dowager is Wei Chen's biological mother, for so many years, Wei Chen has always thought that he is an orphan, although he is used to living alone, but like ordinary people, he also has expectations for family affection. ”
Yun Rongjue listened quietly to Xiao Qijin's words.
Yes, no matter who you are, you have expectations for family affection.
"But Weichen also knows that everything the Empress Dowager has done is against common sense, let alone what should be done, and it is reasonable for the emperor to punish the Empress Dowager."
Yun Rongjue smiled, "Lord Xiao is very aware of righteousness. ”
Xiao Qijin shook his head, "Your Majesty, you have no objection to punishing the Empress Dowager Weichen, but ...... I also hope that you can show mercy to her for the sake of her biological mother. ”
Yun Rongjue was silent for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at the red walls and green tiles in the distance, and said slowly: "She always talks about you, you should go and see her often." ”
There was a faint complexity in the eyes of both of them, Xiao Qijin bowed, "Weichen understands, Weichen retreats." ”
Night.
Yun Rongjue stayed in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Jiang Wu followed Yun Rongjue, who was the big palace maid in this Heart Cultivation Palace.
"What is the emperor thinking?"
Yun Rongjue bent on one knee, his eyes looked at one place, and he was in a trance, "I'm thinking about the Empress Dowager." ”
Jiang Wu pursed his lips, reached out and took an apple, and peeled the peel.
Although she did not participate in the court affairs, everyone in the palace knew about Chu Yin, even the little palace maid and little eunuch had their own speculations in private, and everyone was curious about what Yun Rongjue would do with Chu Yin.
"The ministers of the court and the central government, each with their own opinions, some people think that I should be punished well, some people think that I should be tolerant, small punishment and big commandment, my sister thinks, what should I do?" He turned his head and looked at Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu handed him a small piece of cut apple, and he took it.
"The emperor already has an idea in his heart." Jiang Wu said.
Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the matter, you and Xiao Qijin's words are the same." ”
Jiang Wu cut the apple in his hand into small pieces and put it on the plate, then picked up the wet towel at hand and wiped his hands clean, "When the emperor decided to do these things and decided to completely overthrow the power in the hands of the empress dowager, he should have thought about everything, otherwise, the emperor would not have done this, right?" ”
Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl in front of him, and shook his head helplessly after a long time, "Those who know my heart, my sister too." ”
Jiang Wu bent his eyebrows, "The emperor already has an idea, just follow his heart." ”
Yun Rongjue stretched out his hand, took the little girl into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her little mouth.
————
Two days later, Yun Rongjue ordered Chu Yin to be permanently imprisoned in Changle Palace, and he could not take half a step out of Changle Palace without being summoned.
Such a punishment is not severe, but it is not light.
Chu Yin was unwilling to retreat, but he was confined in Changle Palace, unable to take half a step, and was even more annoyed. She lost her temper several times in Changle Palace.
Only when Xiao Qijin came to see her did her emotions calm down, but as soon as Xiao Qijin left, she became manic again.
"The Empress Dowager, don't be angry anymore, the emperor has already taken care of such a decision." Xiao Qijin scooped up the soup and fed Chu Yin a spoonful to drink.
When he mentioned Yun Rongjue, Chu Yin's eyes were full of resentment, "Gu Nian? Could it be that he is confined to the mourning family, and the mourning family still wants to be grateful to him?! Jin'er! With your abilities, you are the one who deserves to sit on the throne! He Yun Rongjue is not worthy! ”
"Empress Dowager, Wechen has told you many times, I didn't have the intention." Xiao Qijin said.
Chu Yin shook his head and muttered to himself, "No...... In this world, it should be our mother and son, it should be, it is him, and it is they who owe our mother and son. ”
Xiao Qijin didn't hear Yin's words clearly.
"Empress Dowager, you have always cared about Weichen the most, right?" After Xiao Qijin fed Chu Yin and drank the soup, he handed the soup bowl to Caitang.
Chu Yin nodded again and again, holding Xiao Qijin's arm tightly, "Yes, the queen mother cares about Jin'er the most, and Jin'er is the treasure of the queen mother." ”
Xiao Qijin bowed his head, and looked at Chu Yin's eyes with gentleness, "Then you have to take care of yourself and take care of your body, otherwise Weichen will be worried and worried." ”
Chu Yin let out a long sigh.
Xiao Qijin accompanied Chu Yin for about half an hour before leaving Changle Palace.
Xiao Qijin left with his front foot, and Yun Rongjue followed with his back foot.
Chu Yin's gentle and gentle eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by resentment and resentment.
Yun Rongjue looked at Shang Chu Yin like an enemy, and there was no emotion on his handsome face. He was used to her eyes like this, and he didn't care about this more time.
"Now you're proud, you've succeeded! You have ascended the throne of the Ninety-Five, you are happy! Chu Yin said sarcastically.
"Happy? Do you think so? Yun Rongjue said lightly.
Chu Yin snorted coldly, "Don't pretend in front of the mourning family, you have been planning so much, for so long, isn't it just for today, now you have succeeded, successfully overthrowing everything in the mourning family and winning the position you want most." ”
Yun Rongjue laughed out loud: "The most desired position? Do you think that the position of the emperor is what I want the most? ”
"Your Majesty!" Chu Yin's voice became higher, "You have succeeded, you don't need a fake posture!" ”
Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes slightly, "This position is too high to be cold, and the position I want most is not a cold throne." ”
Chu Yin frowned, only to hear Yun Rongjue then say: "The position I want, the Empress Dowager, didn't you always know it." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about." Chu Yin said disdainfully.
"You've always known it, but you've never been stingy with me." Yun Rongjue's voice was quiet, and there was a hint of indifference between his words, and there was a hint of sadness.
