After that, the gate of the imperial capital of Yunguo was closed for half a month.

The people in the city were panicked, they didn't know what was going on, and they were still happily preparing for the big wedding of the general's mansion and the prime minister's mansion, but the blood flowed overnight, and the city was full of blood.

Half a month later, the palace was completely renewed, and the most damaged south gate was repaired as it was. The inside and outside of the Nihua Palace took advantage of this to be renovated, and a red rose was planted in the courtyard outside the palace.

"Hong'er! Hong'er! ”

Early in the morning, as soon as Wu Jinghong finished freshening up, he was frowned by Jiuzun's loud voice. She waved her hand away from the maid and looked at Jiuzun with a happy face, "What's the matter?" ”

"Huh? Nothing important......"

"It's okay, please ask King Shura to live well in the Miyue Palace, don't just run to the main palace casually." Wu Jinghong's words were unceremoniously, and his face was pale and he couldn't see any emotion.

As soon as Jiuzun heard that the voice was not good, he beat a drum in his heart, but he still said with a shy face, "What, didn't this king come to ask if you have found Nangong Chen?" ”

Since that night, Nangong Chen has disappeared, although the gate of the imperial capital is closed, and there are people in the city who have strictly patrolled and inquired, there is still no news of Nangong Chen. The other party doesn't know how many years of preparation, not only in the imperial court, but also in the army. Thinking of this, Wu Jinghong couldn't help but worry for a while, "There is no news, this doesn't have to worry about King Shura, this is Yunguo's own problem, and this palace will solve it." ”

"Hong'er is so smart, of course it's not a problem to solve a Nangong Chen!" Jiuzun said with a smile, and couldn't help but lean forward again.

"King Shura!" Wu Jinghong accentuated his tone and said solemnly, "Please also ask King Shura to respect himself, this is the Palace of the Cloud Kingdom!" ”

The implication is that you must be measured when you speak, and you call the princess so affectionately every day, which is not good to hear, and it will damage the face of Yunguo.

Jiuzun was stunned, the loneliness in his eyes flashed, and his face seemed to be dyed a thin red with some annoyance, "This king, this king is not so idle, hum!" ”

Wu Jinghong sighed helplessly, maybe it was his easily awkward temperament that provoked the irritability in his heart, which made her cautious in her daily interactions. Shaking her head, she said seriously, "King Shura naturally doesn't have a few days to spare, the envoy of Shuo asked to see her yesterday, I heard that my father is going to meet her today, you better pack your things early and prepare to go back!" ”

Hearing this, Jiuzun's eyes darkened first, and he didn't know what he thought, his expression fell down, and he turned around and went out without saying a word.

Wu Jinghong looked at his back and muttered, "I have no intention of hurting you, it's just that Yunguo is in urgent need of rectification, and I can't keep you anymore." "Emperor Shuo's thoughts, she has not yet figured it out, this time Nangong Chen's matter, whether Shuo Guo intervened, this matter still needs to be considered.

In November, autumn is strong, and parting.

Emperor Yunguo met with Ming Yuedong and expressed his welcome, not saying a word about the changes that happened on the eve of the wedding, and Ming Yuedong tacitly did not ask questions, only focusing on bringing back Jiuzun.

"The prince refuses to go back for a long time, the emperor is worried about it, and he is going to get sick every three or five days, and the people think that this time they will bring the prince back. It's just that I didn't expect that the prince and the princess of your country have a deep and righteous relationship, and the people are afraid that they will disappoint the emperor again! ”

Ming Yuedong said casually with a bright smile on her face.

The emperor on the high seat was silent, but the queen stared at her in surprise, looked at Ming Yuedong, and then looked at the emperor.

"Miss Ming is right, King Shura is the younger brother of Emperor Shuo's own son, and he should be by Emperor Shuo's side." The emperor waved out majestically, "Come on, go and ask King Shura." ”

Gonggong Huai hurriedly stepped forward and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, King Shura went to Nihua Palace early in the morning, and after coming out of Nihua Palace, he left the palace. ”

"Oh?" The emperor raised his voice and asked, and after listening to it, he pondered for a moment, "In this case, Miss Ming might as well go to the post station and wait, King Shura may go to the post station to find the girl and return to Shuo Country together." ”

Ming Yuedong lowered her eyes, and moved her eyebrows when she heard what her father-in-law said, and when the emperor spoke, she thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Just sent away Mingyuedong here, and saw Wu Jinghong walking dignified and going straight to the political hall, Huai Gonggong sighed in his heart, only said that it was eventful, and hurriedly turned back to report.

"Father, mother." The dance was respectful and respectful, and his face was extremely solemn, "Erchen has something to say." ”

The emperor and the empress glanced at each other, they were a little inexplicable, what could not be said quietly in the palace between them? What do you want to say in this council house?

"Say it."

"After this incident, Erchen found that the slackness of the court was extremely serious, and it must be vigorously rectified!"

"Well, I know about it if you don't say it." The Emperor nodded in agreement.

Wu Jinghong stopped, waited for a while, and then spoke firmly, "Father, there are some things that the ministers don't know whether to say or not, but I am afraid that they will be talked about and said that the ministers are disloyal and unfilial." ”

The Emperor and Empress frowned, as if they had finally realized the seriousness, "I forgive you for your innocence. ”

Gonggong Huai withdrew the maids standing beside him with great eyes, and he quietly retreated and stood a few steps away from the palace gate.

"Since the carriage of continental countries, countries large and small have adhered to themselves and have not interfered with each other, and it has been nearly a thousand years now. Although Erchen still didn't know why Shuo Guo provoked the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion, he felt that after this chaos, many problems in Yun Guo were exposed. ”

"Yunguo has been the first country on the mainland since ancient times, in addition to a wide geographical area, a large population, and strong economic strength, our government is also worthy of everyone's praise. Not to say that there are no traitors in the Manchu Dynasty, at least there is no slackness. ”

Wu Jinghong observed the emperor's face, and after considering the words, the emperor seemed to know what she was going to say, and frowned.

"Everyone in other countries says that the royal family of Yunguo is peaceful, because heirs are rare, and there is basically only one adult prince in each generation, and there has never been a scene of fighting for the throne. However, in other countries, although the struggle for the throne is very fierce, it has created pressure and motivation for the upper echelons to a large extent, and each ruler is working hard to do things. With such an example, it is naturally not easy for the officials below to slack off. ”

The emperor's face hadn't changed, but the queen was the first to be shocked, she didn't expect that what Wu Jinghong was going to say was this! These words are not spread out in a great rebellion!

"Erchen didn't mean to commit a crime, but he just felt that his father needed to rectify the court and his own actions. Although Nangong Chen's matter is mixed with personal grudges, but if you think about it carefully, doesn't it illustrate the scourge of lazy government? ”

"Jinghong ......" The queen trembled, stretched out her hand to pull Wu Jinghong, and even wanted to cover her mouth first, so that she could not say any more.

"There are many traitors among the hundred officials, why did they have such an idea? Why do you do such a risky thing? Why didn't my father find out for so many years? And why can the hand of another nation reach into the army? Father, are you really not worried at all? ”

"Yunguo survived the first Eighteen Emperors Rebellion, that is because Yunguo has a vast land and abundant labor, and because Yunguo still has General Mao who can loyally follow his father and fight bravely, so what about the next Eighteen Emperors Rebellion? General Mao is also old now, how long can he keep Yunguo? Father, have you thought about it? ”

"Other countries are eyeing Yun Guo, and if the foreign war doesn't work, they will start from the inside, and even affect the imperial court, what a terrible thing, if Erchen didn't find out this time, he was joined by Nangong Chen and the people of other countries, and Yun Guo would be gone!"

"Father!" Wu Jinghong was more sincere than one sentence, and she said bluntly that she was full of tears, God knows how desperate she was in her heart when she thought about these causes and effects!

The extremely smart Wu Jinghong before, not only because of personal grudges was tricked by Nangong Chen, but also because she was alert to this phenomenon and was hesitating how to persuade her father, she was tricked out by Nangong Chen, and this is why she suffered from this!

On the high platform, in the dragon chair, the emperor's face was pale miserably, and the originally comfortable posture of sitting straightened up at some point, staring ahead, his eyes empty.

Yes, he knows what Jing Hong said, in the eight years of the Eighteen Emperors' Rebellion, the strength of Yunguo was not as good as a year, and the battle situation became more and more miserable, the good news of the border pass became an urgent report, and the lost border city checkpoint was not one or two. After the end of the war, Mao Fan came to confess with a look of shame, claiming that he was ashamed of him—no, he was ashamed!

Wu Jinghong knelt down and buried his head, and heard the emperor's voice of mood fluctuations, so he had to retreat silently.

The empress gently hugged the emperor, her voice soft and sad, "Your Majesty, Jinghong has grown up in the end and grown into what the emperor wanted." Your Majesty, are you happy? ”

Wu Jinghong walked outside in a trance, and when he saw Father-in-law Huai, he wanted to tell something, but before he could say anything, his body was about to fall down as soon as he was crooked, and Father-in-law Huai hurriedly reached out and grabbed it.

"Father-in-law Huai, how long have you been following your father?"

"Back to Your Highness, the old slave first entered the palace to serve His Majesty, and the emperor was still there at that time."

"Oh, the emperor is still more rigorous." Wu Jinghong said softly, waved his hand and left, leaving Father-in-law Huai a little inexplicably dusting.

The first emperor, that is, her imperial grandfather, was still more concerned about the affairs of the court. Wu Jinghong remembered that face, very kind, not at all like an emperor, no matter what he said to him, he was smiling lovingly, and the imperial grandfather didn't seem to have lost his temper in front of her.

"Alas......" Wu Jinghong sighed again, this lazy government was not formed in a day or two, it started hundreds of years ago, passed down from generation to generation, and slacked off from generation to generation.

The so-called being prepared for danger in times of peace, the royal family of Yunguo has not been able to do it!

Wu Jinghong smiled self-deprecatingly, what is this called? The pot calling the kettle black? If the Lord of the Rain Country and Adom knew, they would definitely laugh at her in their hearts!
