Yumo was busy in the dining room early in the morning, making a delicious meal for her mother, just because today was Mrs. Xue's birthday.

Since King Qin personally sent her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion a few years ago, Cheng's attitude towards their mother and daughter has gradually eased, although she has not had a birthday for Mrs. Xue for many years, but this year is different.

The day before yesterday, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng personally sent Mrs. Xue two newly made silk dresses, and a pair of jasper earrings as a birthday gift, and agreed to come to Xuyuan to accompany her for lunch today.

It's just that after going through so many things, Mrs. Xue's mentality is no longer what it was back then, and she didn't show the surprise she should have in the face of her husband's sudden change.

Yunyang City is located in the hinterland of Nanchu, spring has always been rainy, but today is a rare good weather, the breeze is blowing, and the air is wafting with the fresh fragrance of grass.

It was almost noon, Yumo's meal had already been prepared, just waiting for Jiang Chengze to arrive, and the family of three would be able to enjoy a happy family. But when the meals were cold, I still didn't see Prime Minister Jiang Cheng walking into the Xu Garden.

Mrs. Xue looked at the reheated dishes on the table, the corners of her mouth curved, she picked up the bamboo chopstick, and said with a light smile: "Mo'er, don't wait!" Eat! ”

Jiang Yumo smiled and handed Mrs. Xue a bowl of hot soup: "How about my mother try Mo'er's craftsmanship?" This hibiscus soup Mo'er has been boiling for a whole hour according to her mother's method! At this moment, although she was smiling on her face, she was very unhappy in her heart, today's mother's birthday, her father was untrustworthy, which is really incomprehensible.

As everyone knows, when their mother and daughter were eating in the Xu Garden, the south gate of Yunyang City was surrounded by thousands of displaced people, and people in the city couldn't get out, and people outside the city couldn't enter.

Yunyang is the center of Gyeonggi, and it is child's play to be besieged by displaced people inexplicably. Because Emperor Fuxuan ignored the government for many days, all the ministers obeyed the prince's orders, hoping that the future emperor would make a decision on this matter.

If according to the meaning of the Ministry of War, Shangshu Gongyi Mo, it is to arrest all these people who besieged the city for no reason and ask for guilt, but Yin Chen Yifan of Yunyang Mansion strongly objected, only saying that although the prison on the outskirts of the city is unbreakable, it cannot accommodate thousands of people in any case.

The ministers argued endlessly in the Regent's Hall over what to do with these displaced people.

Until Prime Minister Jiang Chengze coughed his sleeves, walked to the main seat and bowed to the prince, and said: "Your Highness, those homeless people have been like this for a long time, and they are afraid of alarming the holy driver, and then I am afraid that all the ministers will be implicated." ”

When everyone saw this, they were silent, waiting for the prince to give them ideas.

Xuanyuan Lang wore a pale golden court dress, sat upright on the main seat of the Regent Hall, raised his eyes and glanced at the ministers under the seat, picked up the teacup and gently blew away the tea leaves floating on it, drank it in one sip, his sword eyebrows were high, and his eyes showed a touch of disdain, and he reprimanded: "It's just a few homeless people, so I will scare you into this virtue!" ”

When everyone saw the prince angry, they were all terrified, and they knelt down and shouted: "Your Highness, stop your anger!" Damn it! The incompetence of the ministers ......"

Before everyone finished speaking, Xuanyuan Lang was already impatient, and interrupted them sharply: "Okay! You and others are all important ministers of the court, and if it spreads like this now, won't it be a joke! The more the ministers were like this, the heavier the anger in Xuanyuan Lang's heart, recalling that on the day of his wedding, he almost disturbed the minds of those homeless people, and now that it is less than a month ago, there is a siege of the city, how not to be upset.

"What the royal brother said is extremely true! You wait for the king's fortune, but you can't be loyal to the king, you really deserve to die! It's just a few homeless people, and it makes you so afraid, if it spreads, what will be the face of my Southern Chu Kingdom? ”

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

All the ministers, including Prince Xuanyuan Lang, were all surprised, looking at the counselor who suddenly broke into the regent's hall - King Xuanyuan Che of Qin.

"Old minister, see His Royal Highness King Qin!" Everyone was still in shock, but Prime Minister Jiang Chengze had already stepped forward and bowed down.

At this time, the military department Shangshu and others followed to salute.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness King Qin!"

I saw Xuanyuan Che wearing a navy blue silk court dress, his handsome and picturesque eyebrows and eyes were as indifferent as before, his thin lips were lightly opened, and he spit out, "No courtesy!" After the two words, he bowed his hand to Prince Xuanyuan Lang and said: "The younger brother has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The arrival of King Qin was really unexpected by the prince, and now that he saw him saluting himself, he had to smile reluctantly and said, "Fourth brother, between you and my brothers, there is no need to be polite!" A few days ago, I heard that the fourth brother was thinking of his mother and closed the door all day to thank guests, I don't know how he could come to this regency hall today? Could it be ......"

Xuanyuan Che saw the prince's hypocritical smile, and suddenly thought of the death of his mother, so he hated to immediately cut the person in front of him under the sword, the hand behind him was already clenched, the knuckles were slightly white, and the cold light in his cold eyes flickered, which made Xuanyuan Lang tremble, and swallowed the rest of the words.

"Thank you Brother Huang for your concern! The younger brother was entrusted by his father and the emperor to jointly preside over the regent's hall with the imperial brother, but there were many delays due to the death of the mother's concubine. ”

Xuanyuan Che's indifference is well known to everyone in the court, so his current demeanor, everyone does not feel different. However, Prince Xuanyuan Lang's face was obviously pale, and he was clearly not very happy with the arrival of King Qin, but he always had a smile on his lips: "The fourth brother is serious, but it's just a few wilderness wanderers, where can there be any big mess?" ”

When the ministers saw what the prince said, they also nodded in agreement.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very right! It's just that a few rural people don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and they do whatever they want! ”

“……”

The ministers have made their position clear, between the king of Qin and the crown prince, they have to choose the prince no matter what.

Xuanyuan Che snorted coldly, he was very disdainful of these people's tendency to be inflammatory, and at this moment, his sword eyebrows frowned lightly, and when he glanced at the ministers, the coldness in his phoenix eyes made people dare not look directly.

However, Jiang Chengze has been neither humble nor arrogant, and his jaw is silent, until King Qin asks in a deep voice: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the ministers are aware of this matter, this king dares to ask His Highness, how are you going to deal with a few rural people in that area?" He deliberately accentuated his tone and looked directly at Xuanyuan Lang with cold eyes.

Xuanyuan Lang's personality is already domineering, relying on the identity of the crown prince has always been a bully, now that King Qin is so pressing, he is already angry in his heart, but this regency hall is not an ordinary place, and there are more than a dozen important ministers in the court, he had to suppress that anger, and after sneering, he said: "The fourth brother is really a quick temper, this matter happened in Yunyang City, and it is handled by Yunyang Mansion Yin." ”

"Oh?!" Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yin Chen Yifan of Yunyang Mansion, and saw that he was trembling and half-bowing, not daring to raise his eyes to look at himself: "Then I don't know how Lord Chen is going to deal with this matter?" ”

Chen Yifan shook his wide sleeves, bowed and said: "The lower officials are stupid, yesterday they have ordered the other three city guards to be dispatched to maintain order, but those homeless people are guarding the south gate day and night, and they do not make trouble, only the water around the city gate is impassable, and no one can pass through it." I am afraid that as time goes by, the people in the city will also complain. ”
