Yuan Hong half-lay down sideways and looked at Feng Miao with a smile: "If someone can read it to me, even if it doesn't pass on lunch, it doesn't matter." ”

The internal officials who sent the watch had already retreated, Feng Miao walked barefoot to the side of the veil wrapped in brocade quilts, lifted a corner to look out, and saw that there was no one else in the outer hall, so he walked over on tiptoe and came back with the top few books. These sheets have been read for the first time, and they are the most urgent and important to put on them.

Feng Miao hugged the brocade quilt, only revealing two arms as white as plain porcelain, holding the music table and reading it to Yuan Hong. The first letter was the guilty plea from the leading general Yu Lie, Yuan Hong ordered him to clear Murong Yu's sins, and he led his troops over according to the location provided by Gao Gao Huan, but twice let the people there escape.

Yuan Hong sneered after hearing this: "Gao Huan is such a cunning person, these clansmen are the only force he can rely on in the future, how can he let them be exterminated?" ”

Feng Miao was already familiar with Yuan Hong's way of handling political affairs, and took the pen on the small case next to the bed and said: "General Yu Lie is a person with an excellent face, you can reprimand him for his incompetence, but he will not demote his official position, and still leave this matter to him to handle." Hearing no objections, she was about to put down her pen when she raised her eyes and asked: "Although General Yu Lie is a little short-tempered, he has always been the most prudent in doing things, how could he let these people escape twice in succession?" What HD Huan said, will it be false? ”

"The location that Gao Huan said is true, every time I ask Yu Lie to bring someone over, I will send someone to take a look first to make sure that there is indeed someone there." Yuan Hong curled the ends of her hair and replied, "I don't want to make a big arrest and make people panic, I only let Yu Lie use the excuse to investigate the fugitives, those descendants of the Murong clan were originally mixed in the three sects and nine streams, and it was difficult to find, when Yu Lie went, they were all scattered in the streets and alleys as if they got the news, and there was no way to search for them anymore." ”

Feng Miao bit the barrel of the pen and pondered: "Maybe someone in the palace really passed the news to them, so that they knew in advance that the emperor would send someone over." She couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, if you catch these Murong descendants, what are you going to do with them, will it ...... Kill them all? ”

"Miao'er," Yuan Hong held her hand holding the pen, "you are soft-hearted and can't be ruthless to anyone, this is your advantage, but it is also your fatal weakness." As the Son of Heaven and the Queen, soft-heartedness is the most important thing. What I hold in my hands is the thousands of people of the entire Great Wei, if I sacrifice one person in exchange for the Kangtai of the Great Wei, then I will definitely choose to do so. ”

"The emperors of all dynasties have shown no mercy to rebellion, rebellion, and false proclamation, because tolerating these things will cause greater disasters in the future." Yuan Hong stroked Feng Miao's hair, and there was a trace of unbearability in his voice, "To be kind to these people is to be cruel to yourself, if you choose to stand with me, you must learn to accept these." ”

Feng Miao lowered her head, she knew that what Yuan Hong said was right, but she was still a little resistant for a while. Yuan Hong took the pen from her hand, wrote a few lines of small characters on the recital, punished Yu Lie for half a year, and limited him to do this within three months, and if he still couldn't do it by then, he would be removed from the rank of general.

This punishment is heavier, and the pressure on Yu Lie is also greater, Yuan Hong has a good grasp of his character, knowing that he will definitely try his best to complete it within the time limit, or even do better.

The emperor's rebuke really made Yu Lie embarrassed and indignant, and he returned the waist card of the leading general to the emperor, promising to do this within a month, if not, he would simply return to his hometown and never hold any official position again. Yuan Hong knew that he was a good promise, so he still gave him the waist card, and no longer asked him what he planned to do.

When a month was about to pass, Yu Lie really caught someone, although more than half of them still escaped, he caught a few alive. Murong's descendants have always carried poison with them, and once they feel that the situation is not good, they will take poison and commit suicide, so it is very rare to live. This time, Yu Lie completely saved face. Yuan Hong sent these people to the Shen Punishment Center and asked Li Delu to interrogate them carefully. He knew that it was not easy to pry Murong Clan's mouth open, so he was also very lenient in terms of time, and he was not in a hurry to get a result.

At the beginning of the month, it was Yuan Ke's birthday. The prince in the palace has rarely celebrated his birthday, and for Yuan Sui, his birthday is the death day of Empress Lin, so naturally no one dares to celebrate it with great fanfare. Yuan Ke has followed the rules since he was a child, and the eldest brother has not yet celebrated his birthday, so he will naturally not transgress. Although Yuan Huai is the emperor's favorite son, there have been many rumors about his life experience, and ordinary palace maids don't even know what his birthday is.

But this year, the situation is a little different, Feng Miao personally told the Sixth Bureau to organize the birthday banquet of the second prince well, and personally told Yuan Ke that what dishes you like and those people you want to invite to the banquet can make your own ideas. The news spread quickly throughout Luoyang City, and it was clear to people inside and outside the palace that although Yizhi was from the empress, it must have been approved by the emperor. The birthday banquet is small, and it is a big matter to establish the prestige of the second prince, and it seems that the title of the second prince will soon be useless, and I am afraid that he will be called "His Royal Highness the Prince" from now on.

In the Huayin Palace, Yuan Ke respectfully knelt on the blue brick floor, hanging his head and listening to Feng Miao's words. Nominally, he has been raised by Feng Miao, but Feng Miao said to Yuan Hong that the second prince is already old and can open up a separate palace to live in, and he will not let him move into the Huayin Palace, and only announce him when he has something to say.

Yuan Huai sat on Feng Miao's lap, sucking his fingers and laughing, stretching out his chubby little hand and shouting, "Second brother...... Second brother ......"

Yuan Ke smiled decently and stroked Yuan Huai's little face, but when no one was paying attention, he dusted the sleeve of his side face in disgust. A teenage child who knows how to win over the people around him, but he doesn't know how to control his emotions. He only felt like a tiger roaring in his chest, and he couldn't hold it down. Why is Empress Feng willing to let this youngest brother sit on her lap every day, but let herself move far away to live in other palaces?

He didn't say much, but he actually knew everything, this youngest brother was not born to Concubine Gao, and the only reasonable explanation was that Brother Huai was different from him, and he was the biological son of Queen Feng's mother. Thinking of this, the tiger in Yuan Ke's heart roared even more fiercely, no matter how smart and sensible he was, in the heart of Feng's mother, he would never be as good as this baby with saliva on the corner of his mouth, because that was Feng's mother's own child, and he was nothing.

Feng Miao wiped the side of Yuan Huai's face with a handkerchief, and kept shaking around his small body, Yuan Huai waved his little hand, laughing heartlessly. Yuan Ke felt more and more dazzling, Concubine Gao would never treat him so gently and kindly, she would only urge herself to endorse, and use bamboo strips to correct her posture of walking and sitting. As soon as this idea came out, Yuan Ke himself desperately shook his head and denied it, how could he not like his own mother, but he was willing to get close to an outsider?

Yuan Ke told himself over and over again that his father must have been instigated by Empress Feng to poison Concubine Gao, it must be! Definitely! He was almost about to roar out, it seemed that this was the only way to convince himself that he had not forgotten his biological mother, never, not that he wanted to get close to Feng's mother but couldn't, but that he didn't want to get close to this "vicious" woman at all.

Feng Miao raised her head and noticed that Yuan Ke's expression was a little strange, so she asked, "Ke'er, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything you don't like about the birthday party? This palace sees that you are studying all day long, very hard, arranging these things, originally intended to make you relax for a few days, you think of anything to tell this palace, you must let you get your wish. ”

Yuan Ke stared at Feng Miao tightly, trying to find a little sign of viciousness on her soft face, but she still smiled so flawlessly, just like every time they met before. Yuan Ke pinched his arm fiercely, and said to himself in his heart, she must have killed Concubine Gao, otherwise why would she be so good to herself, all this is compensation out of guilt, it must be ...... It must be......

"Queen Mother," Yuan Ke put on a humble smile, "The sons don't want to hold a birthday banquet anymore, my father has made several expeditions to the south, and the treasury has been consumed hugely, and the sons can't share the worries of their father, and they already feel very panicked in their hearts, how can they still be extravagant and wasteful at this time?" ”

Feng Miao nodded approvingly, Ke'er, this kid, still didn't disappoint in the end, he could look so far, and he didn't care about the honor and disgrace in front of him. It's just that the obvious alienation in his eyes still makes Feng Miao a little uneasy. The more things she experienced, the more she understood A-Niang's wisdom, and people who were always indulging in the pain of the past and couldn't extricate themselves couldn't open their hearts to the future.

"Mother, Erchen has thought about it, instead of preparing a banquet, it is better for Erchen to write some poems, with some fresh vegetables and fruits, and send them to a few friends who usually make good friends, even if it is a heart." After Yuan Ke said these words, he bowed to Feng Miao, "I don't know if this idea is okay, please ask the queen mother to teach her son." ”

Feng Miao nodded lightly: "Ke'er is very thoughtful, just do what Ke'er wants." After Yuan Ke said goodbye and left, she called a little eunuch and told him to secretly pay attention to the list of gifts prepared by the second prince. Yuan Ke has been studying in the academy in the palace, and it is not surprising that some princes and princes have friends, but if he deliberately co-opts the courtiers who originally supported the prince, she will have to be more careful, she does not want the prince's rebellion to happen again.

The palace decreed that the second prince's birthday banquet was exempted, but the courtiers did not dare to really relax, and they were busy preparing congratulatory gifts, and sent the congratulatory gifts into the palace before the gifts of the second prince were sent. Especially those who had supported Yuan Sui in the past, seeing that it was impossible for him to make a comeback, they set their sights on the future prince-to-be, and the gifts they prepared were more expensive and exquisite than the other, even better than the emperor's use.
