Chapter 558: The Last Supper (Part II)
When Yun Haoyu walked out of the cell, all the girls gathered around.
Xiao Muhan saw the emperor's gloomy face, and swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth. just lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the palace now?" ”
"Roland!" Yun Haoyu ignored her and called calmly.
"The minister is here!" The commander of the Guards Corps immediately walked over, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
"You go and bring in four Ability Legions, and 100,000 warships!"
"Obey orders!" Roland replied solemnly, looked at his expression, and asked tentatively: "I wonder where Your Majesty needs them to assemble?" ”
Yun Haoyu glanced at him and said indifferently: "Yun Family Mansion!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ladies suddenly changed greatly, and Xiao Muhan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't you want to ...... again?"
"Just asking for one thing!" Yun Haoyu didn't bother to explain, so he hurriedly walked out after saying something casually.
Yun Xinyao looked at his back, wanting to say something, but didn't dare to say it after all. I had to turn around and grab Xiao Muhan's sleeve, and said anxiously:
"Sister, what now? Your Majesty, could he be a ......?"
"I'll have to ask your father what he said to him!" The queen said calmly.
Yun Xinyao didn't say a word, turned around and rushed to the cell, but was blocked by a group of guards.
"Her Royal Highness!" An officer at the head said respectfully and resolutely, "Your Majesty has already instructed that no one will be allowed to contact Yun Hongchang again in the future without his personal permission!" ”
"Isn't it even possible to go to this palace?" Xiao Muhan walked over and asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry! The ministers are just doing what they are told! "The officer didn't budge.
Xiao Muhan sighed when she heard this, grabbed Yun Xinyao and said, "Okay, sister!" Let's go back! No matter what Your Majesty wants to do, it is not something we can change! ”
"Is it irretrievable?" Yun Xinyao said with an anxious expression, "He doesn't really want to slaughter his own family, right?" ”
"Maybe, maybe not! But what else can we change? Xiao Muhan originally planned to continue to persuade her, but after thinking about it, he said:
"Go to Your Majesty's aunt! For her sake, maybe things will take a turn for the better! ”――
Yun Family Mansion.
The head of the family, Yun Tianyun, had just finished dinner and was chatting with Yun Linjie in the study.
"Big brother, the Xiao family earned it this time!" She said a little angrily, "The position of the queen falls on their family, even the first heir has been designated!" If this continues, what should Yun Xinyao do? ”
"What's the hurry?" Yun Tianyun unhurriedly filled the pipe in his hand with tobacco, lit it, took a deep breath, and then said slowly:
"The position of the queen falls on the Xiao family, which we expected before! No matter how good Yun Xinyao is, because of his father, she can't count on this son! Otherwise, the other princesses would not agree! As for the first heir...... Although it is a little beyond my judgment, however, Your Majesty currently has only this one princess, who can she set up if she is not appointed? ”
"Is there no hope for Yun Xinyao?" She was unwilling.
Yun Tianyun said peacefully: "Of course not! Didn't you notice? His Majesty is only the first heir in line to the throne, not the crown prince! This means that things will still take a turn for the better, if Yun Xinyao can give birth to an heir in the future! ”
Yun Linjie raised her eyebrows, already understood. The first heir and the crown prince seem to have the same meaning, but they are called differently! But when you analyze it carefully, there is still a difference!
In this era, the practice of the high society in the Xinghai world, the ranking of the family heirs is determined by the head of the family and the family elders after joint consultation!
For minor children, it is arranged according to a series of factors such as blood relationship, the power of the father's lineage, the power of the mother's family, and so on; When they become adults, they must also add their respective natural abilities, contributions to the family, and other vital factors!
Once the order of the heirs is determined, it is not immutable, and every two years, the family leaders will jointly inspect and evaluate these children to determine whether their abilities and performance are worthy of their ranking! As long as you are good enough, you can make your ranking go all the way up!
Even if he is the first heir, it is impossible to guarantee that he will be able to take over the power smoothly! If they don't work hard enough, they may be squeezed down by their own people behind them!
This practice is to motivate the children of the family to be diligent and motivated, and there must be no negligence and slackness!
In short, Princess Yun Qixuan's current status as the first heir can only ensure that she has the right of first inheritance, but not the only inheritance! If His Majesty the Emperor has other children born in the future, and performs better than her as an adult, then her status is not guaranteed at all!
But the crown prince is different, he is the heir to the throne as stipulated in the imperial constitution, and he has the sole right to inherit! As long as there is no gross negligence, the emperor does not have the intention of abolishing the establishment, and no one can snatch this right away!
After figuring out this, Yun Linjie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "But Your Majesty's cultivation is getting more and more sophisticated, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to give birth to an heir in the future!" I've got to figure out a way! ”
"What do you think?" The head of the house asked quietly.
"There are a lot of unmarried women in the family, and I have seen a few of them, and their talent and appearance are not inferior to Yun Xinyao, so it is better to let His Majesty collect them together, and maybe you can ...... them."
Yun Tianyun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it!" Your Majesty's resentment against the family has not been completely eliminated yet! How is it possible to accept such an arrangement? The Zhou family once tried, but he refused! What about us? ”
"I'd better think of something else! For example, the recent project in the family laboratory, if successful, may be able to develop a drug that increases the chances of conception for high-level supernatural people! Won't the problem be solved by then? ”
"This plan has already cost hundreds of billions of source crystals, but we haven't seen much hope of success!" Yun Linjie said with some pain, "I don't know how many resources we have to fill this bottomless pit before we can gain something?" ”
Since His Majesty the Emperor took over more than seventy percent of the family property, the Yun family's economic strength has shrunk significantly, and it is really difficult to support such a costly project for a long time!
Yun Tianyun waved his hand and said, "That's nothing!" We don't have to raise so many troops anymore anyway, and all the resources saved can be invested in the project! As long as it can succeed, the family has a chance to rise again! ”
Yun Linjie thought about it and felt reasonable, so she no longer objected, changed the topic, and continued:
"I heard that recently, the few remaining big families in the imperial capital are planning to invite Her Majesty the Queen to hold a palace ball! When the time comes, the unmarried women of all families will attend! ”
"This is for the Emperor again, right?" Yun Tian said with a smile.
"Isn't it? His Majesty the Emperor's harem is empty, and now that the purge has not yet ended, those families are also trying to win His Majesty's favor in order to protect themselves! We're all stepping up our preparations! Yun Linjie sighed, "Not to mention anything else, the Augustine family, seeing that among the only three remaining families, both the Yunzhou family have women entering the palace, but there is no one in the palace who can speak in his own family, isn't this in a hurry?" There is also that Feng family, although Feng Lanxi is favored by His Majesty, but after all, she is the concubine of the former emperor, and the influence is not very good. Therefore, the head of the Feng family plans to ask His Majesty to accept another woman from the clan as a concubine! There are also those other families, all trying to inquire about His Majesty's temperament and preferences, hoping to get their wish! ”
Yun Tianyun pondered for a moment and said softly: "With my understanding of Your Majesty, even if he wants a woman, he will never choose one in this circle, and the heads of those families are doomed to disappointment!" ”
Yun Linjie has no objection to this point of view! Yun Haoyu's jealousy of the wealthy family is not concealed at all!
The Great Purge is coming to an end, and in order to stabilize the political situation, he has decided not to blame those who are willing to sincerely submit to his family forces! And some of them were retained, but that was the end of it. Do you want him to agree to marry these families and reconnect them with the royal family? Don't even think about it!
"Anyone else is just that! But, big brother, don't you see it? The relationship between Yun Yingxue and His Majesty seems to be a little ......," Yun Linjie hesitated.
Yun Tianyun frowned slightly: "Maybe!" It's nothing, though! ”
"But she's Your Majesty's aunt! If that's the case, for Your Majesty's reputation...... I'm afraid it's not good! Yun Linjie said tactfully.
The head of the family was silent for a long time before he sighed and said abruptly: "Even if it is, what? He is the emperor, the founder of the country, and a little loss of reputation actually has no effect on him! ”
"The reason why the emperor didn't make up his mind to exterminate the Yun family, Yun Yingxue, this kid has contributed a lot! If it weren't for the attitude of their mother and daughter, would you still have the current result when you became the Yun family? ”
"Others may not know, but you know, that incident back then ......" He gritted his teeth and said, "You must not let Your Majesty know, even if he is really with Yun Yingxue...... Just keep it a secret from him! This is related to the lives of millions of people, and we must not be careless! ”
Yun Linjie sighed and said no more.
At this moment, a maid rushed in and said in a panicked voice, "Your Highness! Oh no, the mansion is already surrounded by the Imperial Praetorian Guard! There are army ...... everywhere"
Yun Tianyan's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”――
Yun Haoyu got off the flying car, and slowly walked to the gate of the mansion surrounded by a group of guards.
The skies have been sealed off on all sides, numerous heavily armed Adepts patrol around, and there are many more legions in low Earth orbit on standby!
A minute later, the door opened, Yun Tianyun walked out with a few handmaids, Yun Linjie was also there, and the guards were gone!
Moreover, even the energy shields and alert systems that had been turned on around the mansion had all been turned off, and the entire Yun Family Mansion was already in an absolutely defenseless state!
In fact, if the emperor is really determined to attack the Yun family, then no means can stop him! Rather than this, it is better to be a single person, and show your humility to the emperor in this way, maybe it will be more effective! This is what the head of the house intended.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! I don't know what happened to you when you came suddenly! Yun Tianyun came over and bowed, and at the same time greeted respectfully.
Yun Haoyu stared at him coldly for a long time, and then slightly restrained the murderous aura around him, and said slowly: "Yun Qing, I have something unclear, I want to talk to you!" ”
"Of course! Your Majesty, but if you have an inquiry, the minister will know everything, and the words are endless! Yun Tianyun said calmly.
"Good!" Yun Haoyu walked towards the gate of the mansion, "You arrange a place, let's talk alone!" ”
