The Empress Dowager let out a wail, she grabbed her clothes in pain, wanted to cry but didn't have tears, she couldn't even make a sound, she didn't care that Fu Cong was in front of her, grabbed the mulberry's hand and said loudly: "Quick, fast, fast......"

She wanted to say, quickly contact those who were on a mission, and send Yuwennuo back to the palace as soon as possible, but Mulberry looked at her and shook her head, and said in a low voice: "There's no way, Niangniang, there's no news from them." ”

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes: "You go and tell Your Majesty, I admit defeat, and ask him to quickly send people to search the whole city to search for the whereabouts of the king of Xiangcheng County." ”

Tell Yu Wenguang, that is, tell Yu Wenchu, but she would rather die than admit this defeat, even if she is asked to die immediately, she will not say it so clearly.

Mulberry hurriedly ran out, and the Empress Dowager called out to her: "You let Ah Yu accompany you." ”

Mulberry ran outside the hall and saw Aunt Mu talking to Jiang Youyuan in a low voice, she suddenly had a bad premonition, she paused, and did not dare to move forward. However, Jiang Youyuan saw her, he beckoned to her, wiped his tears and said: "The king of Xiangcheng County has found it, and it is in the well of the Xicui Palace." ”

Mulberry trembled her lips and couldn't speak, Jiang Youyuan sighed: "Do you want to tell the Empress Dowager and ask the two of you to make up your mind." I'll go back and talk to Your Majesty first, Your Majesty is really sad. ”

Aunt Mu grabbed the mulberry with a resolute expression: "I can't tell Niangniang, otherwise I will kill Niangniang." ”

Mulberry trembled all over: "Then what should we say?" ”

"Let's just say there's no news." Mingzhu walked behind them at some point, and then calmly walked past them to the outside of the main hall, quietly waiting for Fu Cong to come out. Some people may say that she is hypocritical, some people may say that she is soft and boring, but she herself thinks that the wall has sheltered her from the wind and rain, and she cannot take away the last brick when the wall is about to collapse.

Mulberry asked Aunt Mu vigilantly, "What does she mean?" ”

Aunt Mu shook her head: "It's not interesting, but I just don't want to fall into the well." Just do as she instructed, and say that she has begged Your Majesty, and Your Majesty and the Prince Regent have sent people out to search, and after a few days, it will be said that news has come from the north that the king of Xiangcheng County has fallen into the hands of the king of Zhongshan. ”

Mulberry cried: "That's all there is to it." ”

In the main hall, Fu Cong said goodbye to the Empress Dowager: "I came today to say goodbye to you." Maybe we won't have a chance to meet again, let's see you underground, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? If I can do it, I will do my best to do it for you, and it will be a complete game for our brothers and sisters. ”

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "I don't want to sleep with the first emperor." ”

"I wrote it down." Fu Cong expressed his understanding that Emperor Wen had made the Empress Dowager suffer too much, and it was common sense that she was not happy to sleep with him.

"There you go." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes.

Fu Cong clapped his hands and motioned for the palace people to come in and carry him out. Mingzhu followed up, first silently saluted the Empress Dowager, and then signaled the palace people to take it lightly, but the Empress Dowager did not look at her, but said: "Congratulations, you won the bet." ”

Mingzhu thought about it and found that she couldn't find anything to say, so she said softly, "Thank you." ”

The father and daughter left the palace smoothly, and someone came to tell Fu Cong about the latest political situation: "The imperial historians have written to ask for a thorough investigation of Fu Mingcheng's counterattack on the palace, and some people have asked for a thorough investigation of the fire and burglary in Beijing." His Majesty has agreed to this matter and let the King of Qi preside. ”

Fu Cong nodded: "I know." "The Orthodox faction will lose their last chance, and when the situation in Beijing stabilizes, it will be time for Yuwen Chu to go on the expedition.

The father and daughter's originally depressed mood improved slightly, and Fu Cong even joked with Mingzhu: "Seeing that it's winter, do you want to mobilize the women of Beijing to make a batch of cotton clothes?" ”

Mingzhu was on the heart: "Idle is idle, I'll do it." ”

Fu Cong raised his hand with difficulty and touched the back of her head: "Don't you resent your aunt very much?" Why didn't you tell her about the king of Xiangcheng? She was uneasy and kind, but she smashed her own foot. If you know the truth, you will die immediately. ”

Mingzhu lowered her eyes and said, "She has smashed her own foot, but I don't want to be the same person as her." She said softly: "Forget about other things, I also feel very uncomfortable about the matter of the king of Xiangcheng County, forget it." ”

Fu Cong sighed: "Good girl." ”

Mingzhu had a sour nose, and simply fell into Fu Cong's arms and refused to get up, she knew why Fu Cong had to go into the palace to see the Empress Dowager, and there was not much time left for them. At this moment, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to be the same as when she was a child, just lying by her father's side and not going anywhere.

Fu Cong didn't pick her up, but let her lie on her stomach, patted her back unhurriedly, and sighed: "It's really not big." ”

Three days later, the unrest in Kyori subsided. Yu Wenchu handled this matter cleanly with a quick knife and cut through the mess, but it was still the policy of the Jishan battalion, and the first evil must be dealt with, and the threat was never asked. For those who have participated in smashing, looting, burning, and killing, the policy is different, and it is handled in accordance with the law of public security, and if there are other relatively large losses, the imperial court will allocate a part of the money and grain to settle the subsidy.

The soldiers who were recorded had another way out - to go to war with the army that was about to go out, and the meritorious service was still their own, regardless of the past, and if they committed it again, they would be punished for several crimes. Their families are taken care of, because they have criminal records, and unstable factors must be controlled, which is a necessary condition for maintaining stability in the rear.

Fu Mingcheng was punished for the crime of deceiving the monarch and seeking treason, dismissed from his post and stripped of his title, and some people wrote to ask for the abolition, thinking that Fu Zifei had no talent and no virtue, and was not worthy of the position of queen. Yu Wenchu asked people to hand over the fold to Yu Wenguang, and Yu Wenguang made a decree two days later, and after the abolition, he was reduced to a concubine, and moved from Chaoyang Palace to Changxin Palace to serve the Empress Dowager.

Yu Wennuo's death did not make too many waves as imagined, and a group of palace people were found in the palace to kill half of them and drive half away, and then mention the funeral affairs according to the prince system. After all, the news reached the ears of the Empress Dowager, and after a day of not eating or drinking, she finally fell unconscious. Yu Wenguang ordered Jiang Zhouzi to continue to treat the Empress Dowager, and he himself often went to Changxin Palace, and every time he went, he had to sit at Ji Hui's place, drink a cup of tea, and talk.

Everything has settled, and it is back on track, and all the talk in the capital is about the army going out, and the Huns and Zhongshan Wang's army in front have conquered two more states and counties. Mingzhu took advantage of Yuwenchu's leisure and mentioned Ji Hui's matter to him, and Yuwenchu agreed without hesitation: "There have been a lot of things in the palace recently, since she wants to leave, let's go." Accommodation, you can arrange one for her. ”
