He Yu Xuan's seat was remote, few people went, and the emperor sent heavy troops to guard it, and others only thought that the emperor had found a concubine with a discordant identity to return to the palace.

On weekdays, I only see Zhao Gonggong often go, but the number of times the emperor goes is very small, and after a long time, many concubines don't care anymore, in short, they are not a character who can threaten them.

Even Li Guiren didn't care about this 'concubine' who suddenly appeared inexplicably.

She was busy rejoicing at Mu Wantang's 'death'.

Since the news that Mu Wantang was not dead came out, Li Guiren panicked, and she hurriedly found someone to block the news, never allowing this matter to reach Xie Hexi's ears.

But she still acted, and the emperor cut people down resolutely.

Li Guiren deliberately asked his father-in-law around him to confirm that it was indeed Mu Wantang who died.

The son's only oil bottle finally fell off, and Li Guiren couldn't wait to burn three pillars of high incense every day, thanking God for helping her accept Mu Wantang, a demon girl.

But just a few days after she was happy, she was blinded by a sudden blow.

…

On this day, the emperor was in the imperial study, and there were several ministers of the court standing below, and Xie Qingyun was also sitting in front.

The quiet pin drop in the hall could be heard, and the situation was very delicate.

At this time, the sound of Li Guiren's crying came through the main hall.

Zhao Gonggong walked into the hall with an embarrassed face.

"Your Majesty...... Li Guiren, I want to see Your Majesty. ”

"Tell her I'm in politics! I'll talk about that later! The emperor was also anxious at this time, where did he have time to care about Li Guiren, and said impatiently: "Find someone to drive her back!" ”

Li Guiren's cry gradually dissipated.

An adult in the hall spoke: "Your Majesty, the king of Yuejun made a mistake in decision-making this time, and lost the 5,000 soldiers accompanying him, fortunately, Marshal Shen turned the tide, and Haining Pass would not fall, but even so, the minister heard that the army was still in a low mood, and the minister was afraid that if the army was unstable again, even if Marshal Shen was brave, he might not be able to win the next battle." ”

The emperor let out a long breath, "Then according to you, how to stabilize the morale of the army?" ”

"First of all, as the leader, the king of Yuejun made a mistake in decision-making, according to the military order, he should be eighty marching sticks, and ask His Majesty to escort him back to Beijing, and then severely punish him!"

"No!" Another official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, our army has suffered a great loss of 5,000 soldiers, and the morale of the army is already turbulent, if you deal with the generals at this time, I am afraid it will have the opposite effect, it is better to let the king of Yuejun continue to lead the troops and atone for his crimes——"

"What an interesting thing Master Li said! Did Master Li say that the lives of the 5,000 soldiers were given away in vain? The minister who advocated severe punishment had a red face and a thick neck.

He knelt down with a puff and burst into tears, "Your Majesty, although it is the honor of all the soldiers to die for the country, do the soldiers deserve to die in vain for the improper decision of King Yuejun?!" The minister heard that the 5,000 soldiers were blocked in the valley, unable to advance or retreat, and finally were stoned to death! There are so many that they can't even put together corpses! ”

The lord wiped away his tears, "The minister does not dare to hide it from Your Majesty, the minister's cousin...... is also in the entourage, he is only eighteen years old, Your Majesty! ”

"The first time the king of Yuejun led the army, he did whatever he wanted, did not listen to Marshal Shen's orders, and entered the mountain without authorization, which is really disobeying the general's order! Your Majesty, eighty military sticks are not enough to appease the souls of those 5,000 soldiers! ”

These words were deafening, and the adult who refuted him was speechless at that time.

But he is the person of the king of Yuejun, even if he feels in his heart that this adult's words are reasonable, he can't let the people he follows be humiliated like this.

If the king of Yuejun really returned to Beijing and was punished, how could a prince who was reckless and wanton, marched without authorization and killed 5,000 people, be able to ascend the throne!

"Your Majesty!"

"Enough!"

Before the lord's rebuttal could begin, the emperor stopped him.

The ministers didn't dare to make a sound, the emperor took a breath, looked at Xie Qingyun, and asked slowly: "King Chen, what do you think should be done with this matter?" ”

Xie Qingyun raised his head, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, even if Xie Hexi is the king of the county, he did not listen to the orders of the generals on the first march and entered the valley without authorization, resulting in the casualties of 5,000 soldiers, he should also be dealt with according to the law, so as to calm the people and not be angry." ”

Looking at the emperor's tangled face, Xie Qingyun added lightly: "The emperor has to make a decision as soon as possible, the matter is big, and everyone will know it early tomorrow morning." ”

Wan Yijun, the new head of the cabinet, came out and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that before the news spreads all over the world, the disposition of the king of Yuejun should be posted first, so as to show that Your Majesty is impartial and cherishes the soldiers." Otherwise, the casualties of the soldiers this time will definitely endanger Your Majesty. ”

…

By the time Li Guiren could see the emperor, the holy decree on the disposal of Xie Hexi had already been posted on the walls of the capital.

The battle of Haining Pass has quietly spread in the capital because of the rumors that the king of Yuejun lost 5,000 soldiers.

Those who have children in their families who participated in this expedition are panicking to inquire about the authenticity of this news.

There are also people who wait and see what the court will say, but they didn't expect that the emperor would issue a holy decree to deal with the king of Yuejun so quickly.

The emperor sent someone to escort the king of Yuejun back to Beijing, removed the title of king of the county, confiscated the mansion, confiscated all the treasures for compensation, Xie Hexi was demoted to the commoners and imprisoned the palace, and marched to a hundred sticks.

The soldiers who died in vain in the battle of Haining Pass were given ten taels of pension silver per household.

Li Guiren almost cried blind in the dormitory, and within a few days, her personal maid begged to see the emperor, saying that her master was crazy.

The emperor sent a physician to see him and confirmed that he was really insane.

Not only is she crazy, but she also howls in the dormitory every day, saying that her son is the emperor and she is the queen mother.

These words reached the ears of the emperor, making him very angry, and directly sent people to the cold palace.

The emperor took Mu Wantang's spiritual spring for several days in a row, and these days he was refreshed, and he looked as if he was twenty years younger.

The courtiers were curious and delighted.

After all, the king of Yuejun, oh no, after the commoner Xie Hexi was deposed, the emperor was left with only one heir, King Chen, and after a hundred years, he couldn't really leave the throne to a person with a broken leg.

The courtiers held back for a long time, and they were looking for a suitable time to speak.

But now that Prince Chen is in charge of the government and covers the sky with one hand, no one dares to speak at this time, and with the emperor's body, it is really difficult to have another prince at this age.

But looking at the emperor's current situation, maybe there will really be another prince.

It is better for this prince to come as soon as possible, the prince of the province has all the real power in the palm of his hand, and even if the little prince ascends the throne, I am afraid he can only be the puppet of the eldest brother.

…

When tonight arrived, Xie Qingyun was standing at the table-

His leg is almost better, he can walk without holding on to things for a while, and the treatment progress has reached 98%

Tonight, he put the iced grapes in his hand on the table, and beckoned to Xie Qingyun, "Come and eat the grapes to rest and rest, the ones that were sent a few days ago are very sweet." ”

I ate one tonight, looked at Xie Qingyun approaching, and blinked curiously.

"By the way, why did you come back so early today? I thought it would take half an hour, didn't you say that there are some things you have to do in the Ministry of Industry? ”

Xie Qingyun wiped the juice from her lips, drooped her eyelashes and said slowly: "You don't have to go, he found someone else to do it." ”

Tonight narrowed his eyes keenly, "These days, you seem to be very idle?" ”

"I'm afraid that he listened to someone's words, for fear that I will start cutting my power by holding my younger brother hostage in the future."

Xie Qingyun laughed to himself.

The emperor is really naïve.

Tonight sneered, "Give him face." What age do you still think about this, I don't have to talk about it. ”

951 looked at the couple and lit a wax for the emperor in his heart.

Seriously,

Is it bad to be alive?
