No one thought that King Yu would end this absurd farce in such a tragic way.

The hall was silent for a moment.

After a long time, a desolate and terrible scream came from the corner.

"Lord Wang!"

This voice was still a little weak, which was from Cui Rou, who had just woken up.

She couldn't care about the wound on her head at the moment, and almost crawled towards Yuwang's corpse.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! The sorrowful screams no longer reverted to her usual softness and tactfulness, and the closer she got closer, the more hoarse her voice became.

She moved to King Yu's side, no longer paying attention to the eyes of the others in the palace, trembling and holding King Yu, who was not breathing, in her arms.

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and no longer looked at this woman who was bewitched by the beautiful dream full of lies woven by King Yu.

She fainted to death, and she didn't hear Yuwang's sentence "Let him think that Cui Rou and I are in love".

More than 20 years of life in the deep palace have worn her from a cardamom girl to the crazy appearance she is now. Perhaps Yuwang's lies were the only hope for her in the long night.

Cui Rou cried until she was hoarse, suddenly put King Yu on the ground, and turned around to take the knife that King Yu had taken.

It was also because she cried too painfully, and her movement was slow due to exhaustion, and the black armor army on the side quickly kicked the knife far away.

"Don't stop me! I'm going to go with the prince! Cui Rou can be said to be crying hoarsely.

But neither the emperor nor the eldest princess spoke, who dared to let her seek death again? The two black-armored soldiers pressed her to death, just waiting for the superior to speak.

But before anyone could tell anything, a person suddenly broke in outside the door, shouting anxiously: "Mother! ”

After King Yu's death, their family was reunited in this way in the Zichen Palace.

"Mother!" He rushed over in a panic to stop Cui Rou, and eagerly said to Xiao Xunguang and Xiao Yunjiao: "Your Majesty, princess, my mother has always been weak, and now she is delirious when she sees this scene, please allow me to take her back to the palace to recuperate, and I will definitely not let her come out and talk nonsense!" ”

Xiao Yunjiao glanced at Xiao Xunguang and gave him a look, and Xiao Xunguang immediately understood, "Imperial Doctor Xu, quickly treat Concubine Cui." ”

King Jing's words were to remove Cui Rou from it, but she had nothing to do with the poisoning of the first emperor and queen, and they couldn't easily let this person go!

Who knew that King Jing helped Concubine Cui and said to him: "Your Majesty, the concubine of the mother is disrespectful in front of the emperor, and she should be punished by palace rules, and the minister asks Your Majesty to treat the crime of disrespect of the concubine." ”

His retreat was very timely, and even Xiao Yunjiao couldn't help but think about it.

Today's events, regardless of whether King Jing knows the inside story or not, he is in the name of saving the driver, and unlike King Yu, he did not lead troops to rush into the palace gate.

She had to consider King Jing's fiefdom in the south - if she took this opportunity to take back the military power in the south, it would indeed be more cost-effective than Cui Rou's life.

Just ...... Does he want Cui Rou's life, or does he want something else.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunjiao Shi Ran said: "Since Concubine Cui is delirious, it is inconvenient to have no one to take care of her, why don't Your Majesty let King Jing stay in the capital to take care of her personally?" ”

Xiao Xunguang understood what she meant after a little thought, and pushed the boat down the river and said: "I can't bear to separate your mother and son, so let's do it, King Jing will stay in the capital to take care of the concubine, and I will order someone to go to the south to take the princess over, and your family will be reunited." As for the border armies in the south...... I won't bother the king. ”

King Jing was shocked, and immediately understood that this was for him to choose one of the military power and the concubine. He glanced at Concubine Cui, who was covered in blood and looked depressed, gritted his teeth and bowed his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Xiao Xunguang raised his hand slightly and organized the salute he was about to perform, "It's all the blood of the Xiao family, it doesn't have to be like this." I will send two imperial doctors to stay in your house, and if the concubine is well, she can still go back to the palace to recuperate. ”

Xiao Yunjiao glanced at Xiao Xunguang unexpectedly, but he didn't expect him to be able to think about it so thoroughly.

The meaning of this is - although you were not born by your father, but after all, everyone is surnamed Xiao, and you give me an honest don't have any ideas. This Cui Rou wants to go crazy and let her go crazy all the time, if it's okay, I can let her come back and lock her up at any time.

King Jing wanted Cui Rou's life, so he had to hang his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

He left the Zichen Hall with Cui Rou and the two imperial doctors, but the affairs in the hall were not over yet.

Yue Chi Yue Qing knelt tremblingly outside the hall, and he didn't dare to take a breath even if he was angry.

At last the door of the temple opened, and a little eunuch came out to summon them.

Yue Chi Yue Qing glanced at each other, and respectfully entered the hall and knelt down again.

It's not that they haven't thought about being with King Yu, and Prime Minister Yue has always done this.

But the eldest princess's doorman found what they said, which made the two of them tremble.

"Your family master has conspired with King Yu for many years, what benefits did the Yue family get?"

"The money from the private mine went into King Yu's account, but all the engraved utensils were the family emblems of the Yue family."

"What did he promise you, and what has he achieved now? Do you still want to follow in the footsteps of the Cui family? ”

"I might as well tell you that if King Yu succeeds, the first thing he will do is to correct you, the 'thieves' who plotted to kill His Majesty. After all, this - his throne can sit firmly, right? ”

This person's words were not very clever, but they made their hearts that had been wavering more inclined to retreat, and this retreat reached its peak when Shen Yuzhou went and returned to find them.

That's why the black armor army was replaced.

"Yue Chi, Yue Qing." As soon as Xiao Xunguang opened his mouth, he recalled the consciousness of the two.

The young emperor's face has faded from the youthful youthfulness, and has been replaced by a thick imperial majesty, which makes people dare not look at it directly.

"The sinners are here." The two grabbed the ground with their heads.

"On this fold, there are 12 charges of the Yue family, do you want to see it?" Xiao Xunguang asked, holding a notebook.

The two didn't dare to speak, so Xiao Xunguang asked the eunuchs serving around him to read to them one by one.

"The first crime is to open the ore veins privately, the second crime is to disturb the imperial examination, and the third crime is to occupy good land...... He was guilty of 12 crimes, intent to rebel. ”

With each recitation, Yue Chi and Yue Qing made a point, and in the end, the two of them almost fell to the ground.

"After listening to it, you should know it in your heart." Xiao Xunguang asked the two, "You are all officials in the court, you should know how these crimes can be punished." ”

Yue Chi Yue Qing naturally understood that as soon as these charges came out, the three clans would not be able to escape. But the matter was indeed done by their family, the evidence was conclusive, and they couldn't deny it, so they could only kowtow desperately and pray for the emperor's mercy.

Xiao Xun looked at them for a while and said: "The prime minister is old, and he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and the two of you are also turning back today, so I can't open this favor."

"But ......"

The elongated tail note made the two of them feel up and down, as if they were waiting for the gate knife above their heads to land.

"The people of the world have been suffering from their families for a long time, if there is a second royal family, how good would it be to take the lead in retreating?"

Yue Chi understood what the emperor meant, this was to start with their family to eliminate the family cancer.

The families often maintain a united front with strong interests and in-laws, and if they want to use imperial power to oppress, it will inevitably lead to great turmoil. If you want to smoothly dismantle this cancer, you have to start from the inside.

Xiao Xun just wanted the Yue family to become that gap.

Life, and wealth and authority, choose one of the two.

Yue Chi Yue Qing is naturally a choice of fate.

They immediately said that they would do what His Majesty wanted, Xiao Xunguang smiled meaningfully, and said again: "Prime Minister Yue is old, and the environment in prison is not good, but it won't take long, the sooner the two Aiqing, the better." ”

After the two retreated, Zichen Hall finally cleared up, and Xiao Yunjiao was able to talk to Xiao Xunguang and Shen Yuzhou about the recent events.

But before that, there is one thing she can't wait to bring up-

"Your Majesty is now thoughtful, has unique ideas, and knows more about the way to be a king, I think it's time to be pro-government."

Her eyes were bright, full of relief and Qiji.

"Sister, in fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry, I think you can still continue to assist the government......"

Xiao Xunguang wanted to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Xiao Yunjiao-

"Sister is getting married, and there is really no time to assist the government. You have done a good job today, which is a good sign for pro-government. ”

Xiao Xun's eyes widened, "Who is Sister going to marry?" ”

He looked at Xiao Yunjiao, and then at Shen Yuzhou, who was sitting next to her, the smiles on their faces were the same, and suddenly he understood something.

"Then, that's really a good thing, I think you can help me deal with the government together......"

"Your Majesty." This time, Xiao Yunjiao used an honorific title.

"You can already do it."

Looking at her determined expression, Xiao Xunguang swallowed back all his hesitation and uneasiness, and nodded heavily.

This sentence seems to have opened the prelude to a new era, the Yue family took the lead in retiring from the official position and returning to their hometown, Xiao Xun Guang opened up Enke, re-selected officials, and the court was no longer the proud place of the family.

……

"You're really not going to participate in this Enko?" Xiao Yunjiao sat on a rattan chair and drank hot tea, and asked Jiang Yiheng beside him again.

Jiang Yiheng smiled, "What you want, the princess has already helped you do it, so why do you need to join the officialdom?" ”

"Nanhe accompanied Fu Mingyuan to guard the southern border, Liu Xi and Nian Nian did the music workshop together, I heard that they were about to get married, Xue Ping and I also let him return to his hometown...... What are your plans for the future? ”

During these days, she sent out all the doormen in the West Courtyard one after another, and everyone found what they loved to do, only Jiang Yiheng, she really didn't know where to let him go.

Jiang Yiheng lowered his eyes, and there was a little more bitterness in his smile, "Doesn't the princess need to go down anymore?" ”

Xiao Yunjiao sat up straight, "Jiang Yiheng." ”

"It's time for you to live for yourself."

Raising his head and drinking the tea in the cup, Jiang Yiheng got up, his long sleeves fluttered, full of elegance.

"Hengzhi obeys."

When he straightened up again, there was no hesitation in his eyes, "If the princess is love, let me go down to teach and educate people." ”

Cultivating talents for this Dongsheng can be regarded as a good deed he can do for her.

Xiao Yunjiao nodded, and since then, there has been an additional Mr. Jiang in the Hongwen Pavilion who is well-read and full of articles.

……

The summer breeze fades, the red leaves are full of mountains, the winter snow is fluttering, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

Xiao Xunguang skillfully opened a letter and saw the familiar handwriting on it:

Brother Guang'er, see the words as faces.

In a hurry, Yu Zhou and I traveled to Lingnan at this moment. The sun is warm, the days are high, and the flowers are also accompanied by flowers in winter, so it is a good place to recuperate. Thinking of the severe winter in Beijing, it is better to celebrate the New Year here.

Officials from all walks of life in Lingnan Province are disciplined, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everywhere we go, we praise Your Majesty's benevolence. Every time I hear it, I feel very relieved.

The husband has found a thousand miles of good horses, and has sent people to Beijing, thinking that in time, the horses in the army will be much better.

I tasted a local tea here, and I also sent someone to the palace. This tea is very refreshing and can be used for refreshing purposes.

When spring comes, Yong'an Temple is full of flowers, and it is the return date of my husband and me.

Don't read it.

In the huge Zichen Palace, the sound of His Majesty smashing the cup sounded particularly obvious, and the little eunuch hesitated and asked Gonggong Kang, "Master, Your Majesty has always been angry lately, should we take a look?" ”

Gonggong Kang, who was rescued by the imperial doctor with all his might, was a little more old, sitting on a rattan chair basking in the sun and said leisurely: "Young man, when Your Majesty reads the princess's letter, whoever goes in is unlucky, understand?" ”

The little eunuch nodded as if he didn't understand, and Gonggong Kang looked in the direction of Zichen Hall and squinted his eyes with a smile.

It's good that the world is peaceful.
