Yun Chi's shock in the morning shook the government and the opposition.

After the emperor heard about it in the harem, he ordered the prince to go and ask Yun Chi to go to the emperor's main hall to inquire.

Yun Chi was also about to look for the emperor, so after getting off the morning court, he went to the emperor's main hall.

After the emperor saw Yun Chi, he saw that his face was extremely bad, he had never seen him so angry in the four years he had been in prison, and he asked Yun Chi, "The situation in the north is very serious?" ”

Yun Chi sat down after seeing the salute, handed over the letter from Hua Yan to him and Yao Dewang's confession to the emperor for a look, and said in a deep voice, "How grim, the northern land is now full of disasters and dead bodies. ”

The emperor took it, first read Yao Dewang's confession, and then read Hua Yan's letter to Yun Chi, and after reading it, he also said angrily, "It's really bold, this Cheng family is against the sky." ”

Yun Chi said coldly, "The Cheng family doesn't know if it's against Tian'erchen, but I only know about the disaster in the north, and the Cheng family can't avoid it." ”

The emperor was angry and hateful, "It was I who indulged them in the face of the Queen Mother all these years, and I always thought that they had done something terrible." ”

Yun Chi looked at the emperor lightly, "It's useless to say these things now, there should be more than one Cheng family involved behind the scenes, otherwise, Erchen would not have only received a secret report, until now, if it weren't for the princess who learned from the mouth of the beggar old man that the Black Dragon River broke the embankment and Fengcheng was flooded, Erchen still didn't know that there was such a thing, although the Cheng family is a big family in the north, but it will not cover the sky with one hand like this, the Cheng family is just the one on top of the head." ”

The Emperor took a deep breath, "What are you going to do?" If you have such a big event, you have to go to the Northland in person? ”

Yun Chi shook his head, "Erchen doesn't go to the Northland, there are Su Ziqi and the crown princess in the Northland, and Erchen believes in them." After the words fell, he looked at the emperor and said, "Erchen wants to take this opportunity to move some old people, I just want to ask my father, and I am reluctant." ”

The emperor was angry now, and he just wanted to spit out and say that you just need to move, but looking at Yun Chi's expression, he swallowed back the words and asked cautiously, "How do you want to move?" Who to move? ”

Yun Chi said indifferently, "Anyone who is involved in the disaster in the Northland, whether it is a sponsor such as the military department Shangshu, or the Yushitai who is not strictly supervised, or the court officials who have frequent contacts with the Northland, and the family behind them. Five years ago, the Sichuan River Valley flooded, and the sons did not supervise the country, nor did they have the ability to monitor the courtiers, and only punished the people involved, but not the people involved. ”

When the emperor heard this, he raised his heart and said to Yun Chi, "Although you have been in charge of the country for four years now, your foundation is too stable, if you start the Qing Dynasty, it is not a good time, do you want to endure it now?" ”

Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "It's a little early, but Father, when is the right time?" If you delay for a while, you may not be able to be safe and worry-free. When I came back from the southwest, I had the heart to clean up the northland, but I just wanted to wait for me to marry the crown princess before I did it, but in a short period of time, such things happened. If you had done it earlier, there might not have been such a big mess in the north. ”

The emperor was speechless for a moment, was silent for a moment, and said, "If the action is too big, I am afraid that you will backfire." ”

"Erchen is not afraid." Yun Chi said coldly, "Taking the people's livelihood of the world as your own responsibility is the way of the king." Although the son is the prince, he also knows that the people of the world are innocent, the officials protect each other, the political performance is corrupt, the secret filth, and the court is moth-eaten. ”

The emperor saw that Yun Chi had made up his mind, and he also felt that what he said was not an exaggeration, the North Land is so grim now, and it is also closely related to his inaction against the North Land, it is really too conniving, and now it is a disaster. If one side is unstable and turbulent, the world is worried, and he knows it very well.

So, he was silent for a moment and nodded, "In that case, you can do whatever you want, right?" I am incompetent, tired of your hard work, now that the situation in the north is severe, is the autumn test postponed to next year? ”

"No postponement, the autumn test will be carried out as usual." Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "Erchen also took the opportunity to see how turbulent the pollution in the north has become in this world. The autumn test is a litmus test and a test sword. ”

The Emperor bowed his head, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Yun Chi looked at the emperor, his face was a little warm, he, the crown prince, the luckiest thing is that there is no father who is dragging his feet, from childhood to adulthood, he is dedicated to cultivating him as a successor, almost everything, although he occasionally disagrees, but in the end he will still support him.

He said softly, "Father doesn't need to do anything, you just need to recuperate well, if someone comes to your emperor's main hall to cry after the retainers do it, you can drive people out." ”

The Emperor nodded, "This is easy. After the words fell, he asked him again, "Do you really need my help?" ”

Yun Chi sighed, still shaking his head, "Father is soft-hearted, if you are asked to do it, you can't do it." ”

The emperor was silent, and sighed to himself, "You're right, just let it be." ”

Yun Chi came out of the emperor's main hall and glanced in the direction of Ninghe Palace, the Queen Mother did not send anyone to invite him, but he still instructed Xiao Zhongzi, "You go to Ninghe Palace, and tell the Queen Mother about the Cheng family in the north instigating the Zhaoyuan County guards and the displaced people in the disaster." The words fell, and he instructed, "There is no need to say about the princess's visit to the Northland, as well as her letters." It was only said that the staff of the East Palace sent by me originally intended to go to the north to cooperate with Su Ziqi, and he never thought of breaking the matter in Zhaoyuan County halfway. ”

Xiao Zhongzi should be, "The slave understands, and the slave will go." ”

Yun Chi glanced to the north again, stopped at the gate of the Emperor's Main Hall for a moment, retracted his gaze, and went to the Council Hall with cold eyebrows.

The Queen Mother also heard about the early dynasty, and heard that the interception of the homeless people by the Zhaoyuan County Guard was related to the Cheng family, although now it is just a statement, and the details have not been confirmed, but she feels that it is true, and vaguely learned that the court did not receive a report from the north after receiving such a big disaster in the north, but after His Royal Highness the prince received a secret report, he was also very angry, thinking that the Cheng family was really tired.

Youyun Chi gave him a preventive injection early, and she didn't feel much uncomfortable in her heart, but more angry.

Mama Zhou patted the Queen Mother on the back on the side, "Queen Mother, don't be angry, beware of being angry." ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, "It's the Mourning family's fault, the Mourning family is too indulgent to the Cheng family, it's not good for them, it's harmful to them." When the words fell, she whispered, "The mourning family heard that after Hua Yan promised the prince, she would be expelled from the house, and at that time she felt that she was very hypocritical, but now she understands that she doesn't want to harm the Hua family, she is young and sees it more thoroughly than the mourning family." It's a pity that the mourning family has lived for a lifetime, and they still need to be taught. ”

"I don't blame you, since you married into the palace and never returned to the Cheng family, they are not angry." Mama Zhou whispered.

The Queen Mother sighed a few more times and stopped talking.

After Xiao Zhongzi came, he told the situation according to Yun Chi's instructions, and then peeked at the Queen Mother's face.

Although the Queen Mother's face was not good, her expression was calm, and she said to Xiao Zhongzi, "You tell the prince what to do, do what you want, and you don't have to worry about mourning the family." The mourning family will always be the queen mother of the royal family, and it is his imperial grandmother. ”

Xiao Zhongzi kowtowed, "Yes, the slave must relay your words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince word for word." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "I also told him to pay attention to his body, the human body is fleshy, not iron." ”

Xiao Zhongzi bowed his head.

The Queen Mother suddenly remembered Hua Yan, and asked, "The mourning family heard that the crown princess has left Beijing?" Did the mourning family think that she would come to say goodbye to the mourning family after the Mid-Autumn Festival? How did you walk silently? ”

Xiao Zhongzi immediately said, "Back to the Queen Mother, the crown princess received a letter from the playboy, and left Beijing in a hurry, it was raining at that time, she didn't come to disturb you, she said when she left, please forgive me, she will marry into the East Palace in a few months, and then she will often come to you to say goodbye, please don't worry." ”

The Queen Mother laughed, "This child is really afraid of her brother." The words fell, and waved his hand to him, "Wait for the prince well, now that the princess is gone, there is no one around him who knows the cold and the warmth, you must keep an eye on him to rest, don't be tired, if you are tired of the prince, you can only ask." ”

Xiao Zhongzi's heart was bitter, and he hurriedly responded, "The slave must keep an eye on His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After Yun arrived late in the council hall, he wrote a reply letter to Hua Yan, in which he told her that he had asked the military department to return to his house to think about it behind closed doors, dismissed Sun Lao Yushi from his official position, and sent Mei Shuyan to Zhaoyuan.

At the same time, she let her go of her hands in the north to investigate, but if she found out, she would be handed over to him urgently for 800 miles as soon as possible, but whenever there was someone involved in the case in the court in Beijing, he would peel the people involved in the case and the family behind it in the capital.

Speaking of the incident in the north this time, although it is the same as the flood in the Sichuan River Valley five years ago, he will not deal with it as he did back then, and he must be severely punished from the opposition to the court, from the bottom to the top.

In the end, he said that the situation in the north was serious, and under the rumors, he was afraid that the dog would jump off the wall and fight back, and told her to be careful in everything.
