Chapter 103 Changes in the situation
Recently, there seems to be calm among the various families in Beijing, but many people feel that this calm is only the surface, like a frozen river in winter, with no waves on the surface, but there are waves under the ice. And such an atmosphere makes people feel extremely depressing, and they don't know when it will explode.
So in this period when the situation is a little unpredictable, Yun Yuhong doesn't want to really get into too much trouble with the family, at least, from last year's rebellion to this year's flood, Moyun needs a safe and stable transition period, and the people also need such a stable breath to recuperate.
As for the dispute between the princes, Yun Yuhong will not be naΓ―ve to think that the prince is decided, and all the problems will be solved. This is not an ordinary family fighting for a house and a little silver, this is the future of the world, how can they give up easily? Further, from now on the generations are self-respecting, and if they take a step back, they will be subjugated from now on from generation to generation. The princes will gradually understand the meaning of the phrase "since ancient times, the heavenly family has no family affection", and understand the sadness and helplessness of the royal children. Because they will know that this is something that can never be avoided.
After Yun Yuhong came back, the four princes got a lot closer to Yun Yuhong, at least they all called out affectionately as a "big imperial sister", and they would ask Yun Yuhong's opinion about anything. Yun Yuhong was a little overwhelmed at first, but after listening to the words of the unlucky ghost, she couldn't help laughing, and said secretly in her heart: After all, they are still children, at least until they grow up, as long as they don't fight for the throne and have me as the imperial sister in their hearts, I will really treat them as younger brothers, as for the future, then let's talk about it later.
In her spare days, Yun Yuhong focused on educating several princes and their companions. Yun Yuhong chose these companions to read, except for Bai Ziren, the others were just because these children were pitiful. But when Yun Yuhong calmed down to look at these children, she found that she had picked up a treasure.
Yu Zhiqiang is unforgettable, he is also clever, and it is rare that he is very good at mental arithmetic, and he is very talented in finance. Ji Hongsi has learned well in both civil and military affairs, although he is young, he is not impetuous, but very calm, and he has the style of a general. Although Hong Duoyuwen learned averagely, he had good roots and solid martial arts, and he was the best martial arts among several children.
As for Bai Ziren, it gave Yun Yuhong a little headache. Since he became a companion, Bai Ziren has three meals a day in the palace, and the food is good, so his body is stronger, not as thin as before, but he is still timid and cowardly, and he loves to cry, and he always wants to hide. Of course, Yun Yuhong also understands that the development of people's character is not an overnight effort, and she must be ready to fight for a long time.
The four princes have reined in their temperament and become studious, especially Yu Wuyi, several people are very interested, the unlucky ghost taught them to practice martial arts without mercy, several people often get sore, and sometimes it is inevitable to be injured, but even the delicate four princes have endured it, and they practice very diligently every day, of course, the progress is also great. Yun Yuhong once asked them what they were doing to learn martial arts, and the fourth prince said loudly: "Learning martial arts is to not be bullied." Yun Yuhong smiled, it seems that going out is still good for them.
And the relationship between the four princes and the companion is not good, Yun Yuhong can also see it, which in Yun Yuhong's eyes is that team building is not done well, and she used to encounter it in the army. She arranged a lot of things that needed cooperation, such as the sword formation, etc., for several people to complete together, and if they didn't do it well, they would be punished together. Of course, the timid Bai Ziren Yun Yuhong never punished, but was kind and pleasant, which made others think it was unfair and made more mistakes when cooperating, and Yun Yuhong's punishment became heavier and heavier, until one day, Yun Yuhong said that as long as she made another mistake, she would take off her pants and spank her, which several people couldn't accept, it wasn't a matter of whether it hurt or not, how to behave after being spanked by the eldest sister when she was so big. For the sake of the man's dignity, several people began to calm down and reflect on how not to be beaten. Looking at the little heads who were discussing together, Yun Yuhong felt that the sky was exceptionally clear.
The relationship between Marquis Jingyuan, the queen and the eldest princess can't go back, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and Scholar Zhou also knows it, but he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Zhao family's behavior of being a grass on the wall, how to express it? Doesn't the Zhao family have a granddaughter in the Bai family, the granddaughter of the Zhao family has been married for half a year and has not been pregnant, and the old lady of the Bai family stuffed two beautiful girls into the grandson's room. Marquis Jingyuan's family is not angry, how can anyone take a concubine before a year of marriage, but he knows what happened, after all, he can only endure it.
Yu Shangshu's in-law Zhang Shangshu was taken down by Yun Yuhong and fell silent, Yu Shangshu was not idle, his eyes were fixed on the Jingwu Hou Huang family. After the fall of Liu Xiang's party, the Huang family had nothing to do, but they did not belong to any faction in the DPRK and China, and they were somewhat isolated. Yu Shangshu hurriedly threw out an olive branch, but Marquis Jingwu refused first and then welcomed, especially after Qianzong decided the crown prince, he began to fight with Yu Shangshu.
Bai Ziyu's official reputation is getting better and better, when he was in disaster relief, his reputation for honesty and diligence spread back to Beijing, plus he turned over a few unjust cases, punished several bullies, and became more and more loved among the people, Yun Yuhong handed over part of the duties of the prime minister to him, and he also did a good job, so he gradually gained prestige in the court. So, in a court, Yun Yuhong proposed to recommend Bai Ziyu as prime minister, and also received strong support from Qianzong and some ministers, although Yu Shangshu and Zhou Daxue and the party also strongly opposed, but they were still suppressed by Qianzong. Bai Ziyu jumped and became the youngest prime minister since the beginning of the Moyun Kingdom.
The shrewd people in the court have clearly felt the change in the direction of the wind. Since the return of the eldest princess, Qianzong seems to have a backbone, and was pressed by several major forces before, like a puppet, but now he has begun to make his own decisions little by little, and he has also begun to have a kind of "king in the world, only I respect" imperial momentum. The things he decided would no longer change because of a few words from Scholar Zhou and Yu Shangshu, nor would he hesitate to move forward regardless of someone's power.
Yun Yuhong didn't make much noise, and sometimes she didn't even go to the court, but her sense of presence was not weak at all, and her feat in Duchang was transmitted back to Beijing, creating a lot of topics. Although the 50,000 Yunji troops that were incorporated did not indicate it, everyone knew that it was also Yunyuhong's. Compared with the ghost king and princess, the number of 100,000 border troops of several marquis is less. The sound of the horn of the 100,000 ghost king army stationed not far from the city for daily training, and the minister of Jingzhong seemed to be faintly audible, which made many people more afraid of the ghost king and princess.
This year's autumn is Qianzong's 40th birthday, originally, Qianzong did not plan to do a big deal, Moyunguo is not rich, and he has just suffered a disaster, it is good to be simple as usual, but those days and the prince's 100 days rushed together, so there are still many people who say that they want to do it, this is called double happiness, and Moyunguo has been unfavorable in recent years, and it is necessary to do some happy events to go to bad luck. Qianzong was right to think about it, so the people in the Ministry of Rites were prepared.
In fact, Zhang Luode's favorite is Yu Shangshu, the reason is very simple, his business has not been going well recently, and he has suffered heavy losses, Han Yijun and Yu Zhiye have somehow joined forces, and they actually put pressure on the family's business, and in just two months, the shop in his hand has lost half of it. The Yu family was originally the richest man in Moyun, but now there is less than one-fifth left, and there are many side branches of the Yu family in the past hundred years, all of which are raised by Yu Shangshu, and many of these fifths are houses and land that cannot be moved, and Yu Shangshu's hands are rarely tightened. Therefore, he wanted to make a fortune by taking advantage of Qianzong's birthday.
However, what no one expected was that as soon as the news of Qianzong's birthday came out, they received state letters from the other four countries one after another, and each country actually sent representatives to attend Qianzong's birthday banquet, which made the whole court and the central government nervous. Those four countries have never been so friendly, and they even sent people to celebrate their birthdays, not to ask for money. And it was the first time to receive envoys from four countries at once, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was so anxious that he couldn't sleep well for a few days, for fear that if there were any negligence and problems, and if one was not handled properly, he would become a sinner for the ages.
The ministers of the DPRK and China were nervous, Bai Ziyu and Yun Yuhong were also a little nervous, and they made an appointment with Mr. Ning and others to talk for an afternoon, but they didn't come up with anything, Mr. Ning sighed and said: "There is too little information, and I can't guess the purpose of these countries for a while, but the biggest possibility is no more than two points, one is to be friendly, and the other is to ask for money." β
Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows and said: "Heqin, I have already set up a marriage, they don't have to think about it, if they want money, they don't have it." β
Mr. Ning shook his head and said, "If you are married and you don't get married, do you think these countries can't do anything." β
Bai Ziyu said coldly: "Hong'er is not only a princess, but also a ghost king who leads thousands of troops. β
Mr. Ning still shook his head, but stopped talking.
Yun Yuhong thought for a while and said: "It seems that it is not safe to get married, or let's get married quickly." β
Bai Ziyu's face turned red, but his eyes looked at Yun Yuhong with a little joy. Mr. Ning rolled his eyes and burst the pink bubble in this room, "It will only be after you get married, and it will be next year at the earliest." β
Yun Yuhong pursed her lips, "Okay, then we'll wait for me to get married next year, but they don't necessarily have to be married, it may be that they want to make some offerings, you still have to think about how to hide this." β
"This is not easy, Mo Yun is the weakest among the five countries, and if you don't pay tribute, you will have to fight, and the court and the middle are all the main and faction." Mr. Ning said with a frown.
A few people began to think of various ways again. In the end, Yun Yuhong was relieved, thinking about what to do so much, the soldiers will come, and the water will come to cover it. So let everyone do what they should do, and pay more attention to the news of the four countries.
