Yun Tianyun's resolute attitude made the emperor have to temporarily dispel his thoughts, but this problem is difficult to solve after all, if she can't do it, change to another woman, I am afraid that the controversy will be greater, and it will be a headache to deal with!

Of course Yun Haoyu understands this grandfather's thoughts, but if he is left to his influence like this, then it is not his character! Although he decided to reuse the Yun family, he didn't think about relying too much on the other party.

So, the matter dragged on.

More than ten days later, it is another New Year, official and non-governmental celebrations are indispensable, the court held banquets one after another, entertaining many military and political dignitaries, nobles, and celebrities from all walks of life in the imperial capital.

It's just that compared to previous years, this time the celebration was much smaller, and for no other reason, too many people died in the purge that just ended! Most of the rest of the people are in shock, except for the celebrations that can't be postponed, more often they stay at home and stay closed, as if this is the only way to add a sense of security to themselves.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a grand fireworks show on the square in front of the empire as usual, and after Feng Lanxi finished handling various affairs in the name of the empress, she attended on time with all her daughters.

On the viewing platform, Yun Haoyu looked left and right, and asked in some surprise, "Why didn't the queen mother come?" And so is Xuan Ying, is there something temporary? ”

Luo Qiyue said euphemistically: "The queen mother is unwell, let the concubine take leave to Your Majesty, my sister can't rest assured, so I went to accompany her!" ”

His face froze slightly, and he smiled slightly: "Okay then!" When the party is over, I'll go see them again. ”

Having said that, I didn't feel a little gloomy in my heart, since I learned of Zhong Mingrui's death, my mother has been very sad, and she has been in tears all day long, and even the various celebrations in the palace have basically stopped participating.

The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and the result of brothers turning against each other and fighting each other is what she doesn't want to see anyway, for which she has also advised her children many times, but for various reasons, this scene still happened!

Originally, he still wanted to leave a way for his brother to live, but unfortunately he couldn't think of it himself, so he committed suicide. Even the princess and the child were not spared, but fortunately, Zhong Yinxue was rescued, and it can be regarded as leaving a trace of blood.

Since the incident has happened, he has no power to change anything, so he can only do more filial piety in the future.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the emperor and the prime minister got up one after another and gave a short speech, and the fireworks show officially began.

A dazzling and dazzling fireworks bloom in the dark void, rendering the entire sky colorful! The mood of many big people present gradually relaxed, drinking and chatting, talking and laughing without mentioning.

As the new prince, Yun Tianyun is naturally quite close to the emperor, and Yun Linjie, Zhou Mengde, Song Guangyu and others are at the same table with him.

"Your Majesty's mood seems to be a little low!" Yun Linjie looked at the figure half-leaning on the recliner not far away, and whispered to the people around her.

Zhou Junyi smiled and said: "The DPRK has just experienced such a big **, compared with last year, many familiar faces no longer appear, touching the scene, of course, Your Majesty will be a little difficult to let go!" ”

"Young man, it's not hard to understand!" Yun Tianyun said indifferently, "In a few years, Your Majesty will truly become a very competent king!" ”

Several people thought about it and nodded yes. In the eyes of these veteran aristocrats, Yun Haoyu's performance in the purge operation is the performance that a truly qualified king should have. Although the area of attack was somewhat enlarged later, it was not unacceptable for the sake of deterring the small and revitalizing the DPRK.

There are indeed more dead people, but the benefits are also obvious, His Majesty's prestige in the court and the opposition has been unprecedentedly strengthened, especially in the court meeting, basically saying the same, as long as his eyes are swept coldly, the ministers in the palace are suddenly silent, so quiet that even a needle can be heard falling on the ground! Except for a very few close ministers, no one dared to question any of his orders!

If the founding ruler does not have enough prestige and courage to suppress the situation, then this regime must be congenitally deficient and difficult to last! After the Great Purge, the situation in the empire will be more stable and balanced. Some veteran nobles, because of their contribution to assisting His Majesty to quell the chaos, have benefited a lot this time and have re-become a more influential faction in the court, so of course they have reason to be happy!

Permir. Augustine took a sip of wine and asked, "I heard that the lord of the middle palace belongs, and His Majesty has not yet made up his mind, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty is interested in that Feng Lanxi, but let Brother Yun stop it temporarily!" Zhou Mengde smiled, "Depending on what you mean, you should still want to leave the seat to Yun Xinyao's girl, right?" ”

Yun Linjie said unconvinced: "Your Majesty is also from the Yun family, the quota of these two queens, we must occupy at least one of them, right?" I can't let Feng Lanxi's woman go! ”

"Concubine Feng's contribution to the empire cannot be ignored, and there is no need to doubt her affection for Your Majesty!" Yun Tianyun said leisurely, "It's just that as a high-level wise man, his scheming methods are all first-class deep!" If she had been given unrestricted power and fame to get rid of shackles, would she still look as gentle and virtuous as she does now, I'm afraid no one can tell? ”

"That's right!" Song Guangyu nodded and said, "Such a woman can be trusted and reused, but she can't be allowed to have too high status and reputation!" Once she becomes the queen and has an heir in the near future, the pattern inside and outside the palace may be a little unsettling! ”

Yun Linjie looked at her brother with a smile: "So we have to find a way now to urge Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!" According to Zhou Yiwei and the others, Yun Xinyao may already have good news! ”

"I'm not entirely sure yet!" Yun Tianyun smiled and said, "Of course, after a few days, if it can be confirmed that it is indeed the case, and it is the prince, then everything will be in no suspense!" But if it's a princess, things are still a little complicated! ”

Zhou Junyi frowned and said: "Although these children are favored in the palace, their status and influence are not as good as those after all!" Now that Empress Fang is missing and Empress Xiao is imprisoned, except for Concubine Feng, the other women seem to be a little worse, which is really difficult! ”

The Dukes all had gloomy faces, and in their opinion, although His Majesty began to reuse them, this trust and reliance was extremely unreliable, and it was inevitable that it would be lost at any time. If you want to consolidate your position, you have to find another way, for example, if the queen is from their family, then the next heir can also be sure that she has the blood of the family, and she will inevitably be close to them in the future, so as to ensure the long-term interests of the family!

Song Guangyu proposed: "I think, after this ** in the palace, there are not many concubines left, why don't you ask Your Majesty to come to the draft again?" ”

Zhou Mengde said: "Otherwise, it's okay, think of a way another day, let Brother Yun invite Your Majesty to the family mansion as a guest, and then let a few of our unmarried suitable women go to participate, and show up in front of Your Majesty, maybe someone will be favored, and then we will make a statement to Your Majesty." ”

Yun Tianyun pondered for a while, smiled and nodded: "The former method is not very feasible, Your Majesty may not have that mind now; But the latter one, but there is some certainty! Let's sum it up again, and I'll go and talk to Your Majesty another day. ”

……

Eastern Border.

After a few months of recuperation, the Empire's legions stationed here have all recovered their combat strength, and after the situation in the imperial capital has stabilized, all kinds of military supplies have been continuously transferred from the rear to the front line, and everything is quickly on the right track.

Many preparations have been made, and when to send troops, in fact, it is just waiting for a word from His Majesty the Emperor!

Of course, the reason why Yun Haoyu has not made a decision for a long time is because the rebels in a few regions have not yet been cleared, and the various changes that have taken place within the Gneslock Empire on the opposite side have made the high-level leaders of the Starlight Empire have different views on the upcoming battle of unification!

In the past few months, the Starlight Imperial Legion has been recovering, but the defense line of the Gnaslok Empire, which was originally about to collapse, has also reassembled a lot of troops, and more and more recently! It can be seen that the recovery speed of the other party is also extremely amazing.

However, in front of the main guns of the Death Star ship, these regular fleets were nothing more than cannon fodder, so they were not taken seriously by the high-level of the Starlight Empire at all.

The crux of the matter lies in the barbaric and brutal policies pursued by the Empire's top brass in order to consolidate their rule, the former Sarestine Alliance and the Republic of Surya in the territory of the Gnaslok Empire, which provoked a strong backlash from hundreds of millions of people in these two countries!

Especially in the territory of the Alliance, many believers did not hesitate to fight with the imperial garrison in order to defend their faith, and all kinds of religious rebels emerged in an endless stream, killing them endlessly! And when the scattered Imperial garrisons deal with these land snakes, it is not as easy as imagined!

After the end of the great war in the eastern theater, this rebellion reached a new peak, and as Ulionov IV was busy concentrating on defending power and loosening his grip on the newly occupied territories, many powerful religious rebels even publicly issued a declaration of restoration!

It was only in the last month that His Majesty the relieved Emperor had refocused his attention on the territory and decided to send legions to bring it back under the control of the Empire! To this end, it is even possible to resort to all violent measures, including punitive massacres!

So these days, almost all administrative planets in the entire alliance and the territory of the republic are in a bloody storm! The Imperial Legion went on a killing spree, and wherever there was a suspicion that the Resistance was hiding, it was attacked indiscriminately by the fleet, killing and wounding countless people!

For this reason, Cameron once proposed to Yun Haoyu that instead of letting the Starlight Empire be a villain in the future, it would be better for the Gnaslok Empire to do the work for him, and with the help of their hands, kill all those unruly rebels, and in the future, after the Starlight Empire takes over, it will be much easier to subdue this territory!

Yun Haoyu deeply agreed with this, so the original plan to send troops was temporarily postponed for two months.
