I am a ruler in troubled times

No matter how incredible the courtiers may be, the sun does rise in the east.

After receiving the reward, the eunuchs who announced the decree left the Song Mansion and joined the twelve guards waiting outside the Song Mansion. Those who beat gongs and drums announced the imperial decree just read to Xianyang.

The courtiers who were still judging the position of the sun with their heads held high and squinting their eyes couldn’t help rubbing their ears when they heard the jubilant beating of gongs and drums.

Before the New Year's holiday had passed, Emperor Yonghe's imperial case was completely overwhelmed by the papers that flew like snowflakes.

Some courtiers even went to the palace gate to seek an audience amidst the beating of gongs and drums in the streets and alleys of Xianyang, trying to persuade Emperor Yonghe face to face to withdraw this outrageous imperial edict.

In the past, he was very sympathetic to the courtiers, but the Yonghe Emperor, who would agree to all courtiers asking for an audience, turned everyone away from the palace.

After a courtier heard the words of "Your Majesty wishes you to have a good New Year" conveyed by Eunuch Meng, he immediately knelt outside the palace gate and threatened, "Your Majesty does not see me, and I will keep kneeling here." '

The courtiers who knelt outside the palace gate one after another were sent home by the twelve guards who stormed out of the palace gate aggressively. They were ordered to contemplate behind closed doors at home for the crime of 'disrespecting the emperor and disturbing the emperor', but they did not think for how long. the term.

The people who were ordered to think about their mistakes at home could not be counted with two hands before the palace gate was restored to cleanliness.

Compared with the court officials, the common people were surprised to hear the content of the imperial decree read out after beating the gongs and drums, but they only discussed a few words with their families quietly, and completely put the matter behind them.

As early as after Chongyi reached the crown, when he had not married a wife for many years, the common people believed in the saying that Chongyi was the god of heaven.

Since he is a god in the sky, the emphasis on getting married is naturally different from that of the secular.

Maybe it's because His Royal Highness Yuan Jun's fate is just right for His Highness the Crown Prince, and he can keep His Highness the Crown Prince in the world.

Within a few days, the private speculations of the common people spread quietly.

Some people even specially compiled a book about the past and present lives of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Yuan Jun, which was circulated in a small area.

These scriptures were quickly delivered to Chong Yi and Song Peiyu.

Just flipping through a few pages, Song Peiyu knew where these scriptures came from.

Although the content of the story is just commonplace, the heart in it is hard not to touch Song Peiyu.

These scriptures are all students who graduated from Donggong Qinsi Academy, and they are repaying Chongyi and Song Peiyu in their own way.

According to the old practice, the days to rest and bath this year are still ten days.

On the first day of the New Year's ceremony, Song Peiyu and Chong Yi entered the hall at the last minute, and walked to the only two seats in front without turning their eyes.

Years ago, there was still some distance between the two seats, but now they are tightly next to each other.

Someone tried to stop Song Peiyu, starting with Song Peiyu, who seemed the most talkative, and persuaded Song Peiyu to refuse the imperial edict of marriage.

It's a pity that these people often just opened their mouths, and only had time to say one or two words before meeting Shang Chongyi's gloomy eyes.

Then his mind was filled with the fear of being swallowed up by a wild beast, he completely forgot what he wanted to say, and watched Chong Yi and Song Peiyu pass by them, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

As soon as Chong Yi and Song Peiyu took their seats, Emperor Yonghe strode out from behind, even his hair was full of joy that his son was about to get married.

Emperor Yonghe's clear attitude and Chong Yi's spare no effort to defend him caused many courtiers to back off and look thoughtfully at the vacant seats at the back of the main hall.

The people who were supposed to sit in these vacant seats were shutting their doors and contemplating their mistakes because they disturbed Sheng Jia by trespassing on the palace gate during the rest period.

There are people who sense something is wrong and choose to rein in the precipice.

There are also people who can't hold back at all, and can't wait to be "the first bird" just after paying New Year's greetings to Emperor Yonghe.

"The first bird" starts with the idea that men marry men, which violates the harmony of yin and yang, and cites classics to denounce how deviant this behavior is.

In the end, "the prince married a male concubine, wouldn't the folks follow suit? If all the folks marry men, what about the women who are of the right age to marry?" ' question as the end.

The person who makes the first bird is not a fool.

He is willing to be this early bird. Apart from thinking that he has not made much progress in government affairs and wants to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain a false name, he also believes from the bottom of his heart that his behavior is to set things right, no matter for Zhao Guo and the prince, or even for him. For the Song family, there is no harm at all.Therefore, the more this person recited the manuscript he had prepared long ago, the more excited he became, and the final sound could even be called a mournful neigh.

Emperor Yonghe, with his good temper as always, smiled and said to the humanity standing in the center of the hall, "Ai Qing reminded me that I am planning to write 'After a man and a man get married, both parties are not allowed to take concubines, nor are they allowed to adopt.'" Entering the law, does Ai Qing have any other suggestions?"

His face was flushed with excitement, and because he was too excited, the 'early bird' gasping for breath, looked at Emperor Yonghe's kind face and eyes full of expectation, his eyes that became dull in an instant gradually moved closer to the middle, and his body suddenly moved towards the ground smashed down.

Fortunately, he hadn't completely lost consciousness, and managed to support the ground with his trembling arms, avoiding the tragic situation of facing the ground.

The courtiers never expected that Emperor Yonghe's attitude towards granting marriage would be so decisive.

They wanted to remind Emperor Yonghe that the release of such laws would make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unprecedented.

After a hundred years from His Royal Highness, what will happen to the throne?

But he saw King Su who had stood up and faced the courtiers, stroking his sword and grinning grinningly.

The courtiers immediately swallowed back the worries and reminders on their lips.

Since the crown prince has no heir, the throne will naturally be passed on to King Su's side. They really dare not offend King Su by saying those ignorant words at this time.

The atmosphere in the hall froze for a while before a second person stood up.

Those who stood up this time no longer cling to the content of the marriage decree.

He first complained euphemistically to Emperor Yonghe that he was an unprecedented male concubine who bestowed a marriage on the prince, yet rashly issued an order without discussing with the courtiers, and immediately notified the content of the imperial order to the people.

Now even if you want to regret it, you have to worry about whether it will leave the impact of "changing orders at night" on the people, which can be described as riding a tiger.

Emperor Yonghe looked at the person in the center of the hall peacefully, and did not rush to refute him.

When he made the decree, he was holding the determination to carry out the decree. How could there be a situation of 'changing orders overnight'?

It has been nearly 20 years since he proclaimed himself emperor, and Emperor Yonghe is no longer the emperor who was so angry with his courtiers that he would always be dragged into verbal traps without knowing it.

It was found that Emperor Yonghe was still unwilling to talk to him, and the people in the middle of the court couldn't continue singing the one-man show, and embarrassment appeared on their faces.

Fortunately, someone stood up to support him in time, and complained with one voice that Emperor Yonghe had rashly made an order.

After waiting for quite a while, Emperor Yonghe, who didn't wait for these people to say anything new, had a flash of impatience in his eyes, but he still didn't lose his temper.

Seeing that Emperor Yonghe was not angry, the people in the center of the court pushed their noses and cheeks more and more.

From the tactful complaint at the beginning, it turned into a blatant accusation.

The corners of Emperor Yonghe's mouth gradually tightened, and he counted silently in his heart. When he counted to 'nine', someone suddenly stood up and refuted the crowd in the center of the hall who seemed to be getting more and more excited.

"It's His Majesty's business to get married, so what does it have to do with you?"

"Besides, Your Majesty is a king, and you are ministers. Don't you want His Majesty to ask for your opinions before drawing up his will?"

The people who were forgetting what they were doing to attack Emperor Yonghe were stunned, and then retorted angrily.

How dare they take on the name of 'trying to control the monarch'.

How blind are these people, to think that they can control Emperor Yonghe with just a few words?

The one-sided accusations in the courtroom suddenly turned into confrontation between the two sides.

From the very beginning, there was no fairness in this war of words.

The courtiers who tried to overwhelm Emperor Yonghe and make Emperor Yonghe retreat, instead, they learned from other courtiers what is "civil servants do not kill with swords." '

In the mouths of those courtiers, it was disrespectful for them to stand in front of Emperor Yonghe.

The accusations of crimes that were infinitely magnified made the people who had accused Emperor Yonghe more and more cowardly, and there was no room for retaliation.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Emperor Yonghe, who had already returned to a smile on his face, made a smoothie in time and called to stop the grand court meeting, which was noisier than the vegetable market.

The courtiers who had devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the quarrel looked at Emperor Yonghe blankly, and had long forgotten what the source of their quarrel at the Great Court Meeting was.

Emperor Yonghe was broad-minded, and he didn't like to argue with courtiers, let alone fools. He just took advantage of these people's sluggishness and said, "Since the ministers have different ideas, we will discuss it next time." 'Turn around and go back to the apse.

Three days later, at the court meeting, the courtiers who still opposed the imperial decree of Yonghe's marriage learned their wisdom.

They no longer held on to Emperor Yonghe, who made the decree, but pointed their finger at Song Peiyu, impeaching Song Peiyu to seduce the master, and also tried their best to find out many old things, deliberately fabricated details that did not exist, and forcibly made the non-existent Song Peiyu was charged with the crime.

Among them, the most ridiculous crime is that someone impeached Song Peiyu for embezzling the frontline Zhao Jun's salary when he was in Yizhou.

The courtiers who impeached Song Peiyu made no secret of their purpose.

Even if Song Peiyu couldn't be prevented from marrying the prince, he couldn't just be a male concubine as the original spouse.

Song Peiyu, who suddenly suffered a lot of malice, was not surprised at all.

He has been preparing for this day for a long time since he received the imperial edict of marriage.

Song Peiyu grabbed Chong Yi, who was brewing a storm in his eyes, and stood up alone to face the courtier who wanted to kill with his eyes.

He did not refute these people saying that he was "charming the master".

This kind of pretentiousness has no other effect other than being ugly.

Looking at the second-rank officials in the court, who has not been impeached for such unsubstantiated charges?

Really entangled with these people with the four words of "confusing the master and fascinating", only then can these people's wishes be fulfilled.

Song Peiyu had to settle with these people, they fabricated evidence out of thin air, and slandered the imperial court's account of first-rank officials.

There are many people who are reluctant to part with the huge benefits of the Eastern Palace and try their best to pull Song Peiyu down.

Song Peiyu has been friends with officials for more than ten years, and there are many people who are willing to speak up for him at this time.

The impeachment of Song Peiyu by the courtiers on various charges did not come to an end until after the first month.

Song Peiyu still appeared in the court hand in hand with Chongyi.

Most of those who slandered Song Peiyu on false charges were imprisoned.

Those who were not found guilty of previous crimes were just demoted and thought about their mistakes.

People whose crimes were more shocking than Song Peiyu's framed charges were dealt with according to the law, their property was confiscated, dismissed from office or even exiled, with different endings.

The courtiers who opposed the imperial decree of the Yonghe Emperor failed repeatedly, and the way of failure became more and more ugly.

Those who are still unwilling to give up can only use the last resort.

strike down.

They relied on Zhao Guo to take over Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou not long ago, and they already lacked manpower to do things, so they wanted to force Emperor Yonghe to compromise.

They no longer resolutely resist the marriage of Chongyi and Song Peiyu, but also accept that Song Peiyu will become the prince Yuanjun, the same as the prince concubine.

Not allowing Soong Peiyu to be regent is their final bottom line.

On the first day of the lunar new year, after hearing the content of Emperor Yonghe's imperial decree for bestowing marriage, he hurriedly went to the palace gate to beg Yonghe Emperor, but was rejected by Emperor Yonghe outside the palace gate, and the courtiers who insisted on kneeling there to force Yonghe Emperor to compromise, still Shut up at home and meditate.

From the beginning of the year, seven or eight seats have always been vacant at the Great Court Meeting.

Emperor Yonghe seemed to have completely forgotten about these people. Even if someone interceded, Emperor Yonghe would just smile without saying a word, or ask, "Ai Qing is busy with political affairs, do you envy him for having time?"

Many people who come to intercede say "yes", and he means to give the person who comes to intercede a long vacation.

As soon as this remark came out, how could anyone dare to answer it?

Those who specifically interceded showed embarrassing smiles and said euphemistically that they just like the feeling of being busy with government affairs, and they can't sleep without being busy with government affairs.

Then he resigned immediately and refused to mention the matter of intercession.

Some time ago, courtiers and Song Peiyu impeached each other.

Except for Soong Peiyu who is completely innocent, everyone else is more or less upright, and some people can even be called sinful, conniving their family members to do all kinds of evil.

After dealing with these people, seven or eight seats were vacated in the court hall.

When there were already fifteen or six vacancies, there were seven or eight more vacancies overnight.

The court hall was nearly one-third empty at once.

Emperor Yonghe sat behind the imperial case with a big horse and a golden sword, his tiger eyes scanned each empty seat in turn, as if he could see specific people through the empty seats.

"Where are they?" Emperor Yonghe asked coldly.

Eunuch Meng took out the booklet in his sleeve pocket and handed it to Emperor Yonghe, and said in a deep voice, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, You Shaoqing of Dali Temple... Zuo Shaoqing of Xingtaipu Temple, all asked for leave due to illness. There are many officials who have not yet qualified to go to court, and the names of the people who ask for leave and the reasons for their leave are recorded in the booklet."

"Okay." Emperor Yonghe clapped his hands together suddenly, making a loud voice, "They are all my good subjects."

The courtiers below were nervous, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Calm your anger?" Emperor Yonghe glanced across the faces of some people who did not dare to give up immediately, but let his clansmen give up, and said with a sneer, "It's not that I have no one to use, why should I be angry?"

Before the courtiers realized what Emperor Yonghe meant, Emperor Yonghe said in a deep voice, "Go to Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou to declare the decree. Tell them that there is a shortage of people in my court."

Hearing the angry voice of Emperor Yonghe, those whose family members did not come to the court immediately changed their expressions, and immediately said, "Your Majesty must never..."

"Your Majesty!" King Liang got up from his seat, and his thick voice suppressed all other voices, "There are also talented people in Liang County. It's just that they come from a remote place, so they are inevitably stupid. If His Majesty gives you any order, they will do it." I'm afraid I'm not good at being flexible about what to do."

Emperor Yonghe clapped his hands and laughed, "What I lack is such a capable official."

Some of the courtiers wanted to dissuade them, but they dared not speak easily due to the fact that King Liang was having a happy conversation with Emperor Yonghe.

Who doesn't know that among the many princes who surrendered, Donggong is the closest to Prince An, and Emperor Yonghe likes Prince Liang the most.

What the King of Liang said was exactly in line with Emperor Yonghe's mind. If he spoke at this time, he would not only hinder Emperor Yonghe's eyes, but also be suspected of blocking the promotion of Liang County people.

Not long after the Great Court Meeting ended, Eunuch Meng took the young eunuchs out of the palace to announce the decree.

All the adults who did not show up at the Great Court Meeting today have a share, and Emperor Yonghe allowed them to recuperate at home at ease, without having to go to the Great Court Meeting or the Yamen again.

The courtiers, who were enjoying their free time at home and imagining the compromise of Emperor Yonghe, immediately changed their faces after hearing the decree. Even if they saw the decree, they kept yelling that it was impossible.

And the courtiers who sprinkled a lot of white flour on their faces and pretended to be angry, thought that Eunuch Meng said that on purpose, and the purpose was to let them compromise with Emperor Yonghe first.

Even if Eunuch Meng asked the little eunuch to smack the unfolded imperial decree on their faces, they still closed their eyes tightly, blowing the white faces on their faces and saying, "Trouble, Eunuch Meng told Your Majesty that I am too sick to get out of bed, so I can't get out of bed." Will sue for illness at home, never threaten... Impossible!"

The little eunuch was ordered by Eunuch Meng to pinch the eyelids of the courtiers and force them to read the imperial edict.

The moment the courtier, who seemed to be dying of illness, rushed forward, Eunuch Meng grabbed the little eunuch who spread the imperial decree and slammed it in the courtier's face.

As the little eunuch stepped back, the courtiers rushed directly to Eunuch Meng's feet.

Eunuch Meng sneered, let go of the little eunuch's belt, took the imperial decree from the little eunuch's hand, and smashed it unceremoniously on the head of the courtier who was about to get up from the ground.

Then he kindly told these people about Emperor Yonghe's announcement at the Great Court Assembly that he would summon sages from Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, and carefully wrote down the regretful expressions of these people before leaving satisfied.

After Eunuch Meng returned to the palace, he not only carefully described the embarrassment of these courtiers with Emperor Yonghe, but also went to the East Palace to tell Chong Yi and Song Peiyu about the "interesting things" they encountered after the palace, and was rewarded with a set of colorful glazed teacups.

After this day, Song Peiyu suddenly received many invitations.

After careful investigation, it is all related to those courtiers who received the imperial decree of Yonghe Emperor and are recuperating at home.

After Song Peiyu flipped through these greeting cards casually, she asked Jin Bao to find someone to return the greeting cards intact.

How could he have time to care about these people?

The people who quit the court the day before yesterday were not limited to those who received the imperial decree and were ordered to recuperate at home.

There are also petty officials below the sixth rank who don't even have the qualifications to go to court, stay at home under the pretext of being sick for no reason, and don't go to the Yamen.

Song Peiyu was busy selecting suitable candidates from among those who graduated from Qinsi Academy to take over the positions of these small officials.

At the court meeting again, the courtiers never mentioned anything about the prince's wedding.

After going through all kinds of twists and turns, they finally completely accepted the two edicts announced to the world on the first day of the lunar new year, and some people even called Song Peiyu "His Royal Highness Yuanjun" in advance.

Song Peiyu was stunned for a moment, and after nodding in return, her steps suddenly became hurried.

Chong Yi was not in a hurry to go to the front with Song Peiyu, he glanced at the official robes on the young courtiers.

A small official of the sixth rank is the minimum standard for being able to appear in the Great Court.

"Go to Zhan Shi's mansion to take up the job of Shao Zhan, or go to the East Palace to find Eunuch An to receive the reward." Chong Yi threw the pendant around his waist to the person in front of him, and strode after Song Peiyu.

The petty official of the Ministry of Officials subconsciously caught the pendant that fell on his hand, but he didn't immediately realize what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to him.

It wasn't until he realized that his body was full of all kinds of real eyes that the petty official suddenly jumped up and down several times, and smashed his butt on the chair the moment he saw Emperor Yonghe's boots.

The petty official from the Ministry of Officials tightly held the pendant in his hand.

Less trouble!

It was His Royal Highness who personally promoted him!

Around the petty officials, those who just happened to see the whole process of the petty officials getting the prince's token could only lower their eyelids to hide the envy and jealousy besides cursing secretly as a 'sycophant'.

I knew earlier...

He must have stood guard at the entrance of the main hall. When he saw Song Peiyu, he immediately rushed over and shouted 'His Royal Highness Yuanjun'.

No, he should just rush over and kneel down!

Kneeling the prince Yuanjun, don't be ashamed!

Emperor Yonghe was very satisfied with the calmness of the courtiers. The concrete manifestation was that he finally stopped sitting motionless on the throne and stared coldly at the courtiers who were 'quarreling', as if he would raise his sword to persuade them to fight in the next moment.

Today's Yonghe Emperor, the mood is visible to the naked eye.

He was even in the mood to talk in detail with the courtiers about the small animals that he had only recently started raising.

From fierce beasts like tigers and wolves, to dexterous animals like sika deer and white deer, to cute little animals like minks and foxes, and even wild geese and sea dongqings flying in the sky.

As Emperor Yonghe's introduction became more and more detailed, the faces of the courtiers became more and more dull.

At the beginning, they thought that Emperor Yonghe was bored because of court disputes, but they suddenly found that raising small animals was good, and they were already addicted to it.

Just because I am in a good mood today, I will introduce these animals to them in detail.

It wasn't until they saw Chong Yi and Song Peiyu sitting together openly, and Uncle Yunyang on the other side with a satisfied face, that the courtiers realized it.

It has long been heard that some time ago, His Royal Highness always liked to go outside the city.

Those animals were probably hunted by His Royal Highness, and they were going to be the first betrothal gifts when he was betrothed.

As soon as the dowry gift is raised for other people's heads, they are always looking for mascots several years in advance.

At most, they are afraid that there will be accidents in the middle, and the mascots will be raised to death, which will lead to panic when they are hired, and raise two pairs of mascots in separate places.

Before the formal engagement, the man's father will personally feed the mascot, and then let the son take the mascot to the engagement.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been away for three years, so it is understandable that he did not prepare a mascot in advance.

After all, you have to find the mascot in person to show your sincerity.

Only those who cannot hunt the mascot by themselves will let the guards or elders do it for them.

In His Royal Highness, there is obviously no possibility of missing the mascot.

But this is not the reason why the Crown Prince caught it back in one breath when he went to look for the mascot.

Just now His Majesty said that he has raised seven or eight pairs of animals recently?

The courtiers were thinking about how to flatter them quietly.

The smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more sincere, Uncle Yunyang suddenly said, "I have recently raised a pair of kittens, maybe I can exchange some ideas with Your Majesty."

Emperor Yonghe clapped his hands and laughed, and said repeatedly, "Hi cat, it just so happens that I don't have a cat!"

The courtiers immediately shut their mouths, suddenly not knowing what to say.

They were afraid that when they were flattering, they would accidentally hit the horse's hoof.

It's not that only the recruited party needs to prepare a mascot, does Yuanjun also have a mascot in his dowry?

The courtiers looked at each other and exchanged secret glances, but there was no result.

They have also heard of men marrying men among the people, but they have never seen it with their own eyes.

Even if you have seen it with your own eyes, it's useless. How can the prince's big wedding be the same as the folks?

Song Peiyu lowered her head silently, trying to hide herself behind Chong Yi as much as possible.

Why are those animals suddenly mentioned.

It's fine for His Majesty to mention it, after all Chong Yi is so powerful, it's only natural for His Majesty to want to show off.

The eldest brother actually joined in the fun.

Song Peiyu covered her face and prayed in her heart that no one would ask where the two kittens came from.

It was the kitten he had kidnapped from the mother cat who had just given birth in the back alley after the little fish he promised for a lifetime had dried up.Song Peiyu knew that Song Jinyu was not in a good mood because he was being chased by Emperor Yonghe to show off, so he deliberately found the right cat.

Song Peiyu didn't feel anything wrong when he hugged the kitten to Song Jinyu and said that the kitten was his prey without shame.

At that time, Song Peiyu never thought that he would soon face the crisis of exposing his unique hunting method in front of all his colleagues in the court.

Those who entered from outside the main hall resolved Song Peiyu's crisis in time.

The visitor knelt in the center of the hall, and said sternly, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Chen Guo and Chu Guo."

The smile on Emperor Yonghe's face suddenly faded.

He asked the visitor to get up in a muffled voice, but he never mentioned that he wanted to read the letters from Chen Guo and Chu Guo.

The meaning of disgust is beyond words.

Eunuch Meng picked up the booklet in time and handed it to Emperor Yonghe, "Your Majesty, this is a specially selected booklet."

The expression on Emperor Yonghe's face softened slightly, and he looked down at the courtiers, "I have received several papers that make me undecided in the past few days, and I would like to ask you to come up with an idea for me."

Eunuch Meng began to read from the first notebook.

"Criminal..."

Song Peiyu's mood that had just been relaxed fell into embarrassment again, but this time it was not for herself, but for the person who wrote this note.

He happened to remember this person. Among the people who impeached him a few days ago, this person used the most vicious words, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was bloody.

However, this person impeached Song Peiyu, he never spread rumors, he just grasped trivial matters and magnified them infinitely.

For example, when Song Peiyu and Chong Yi were rushing back to Xianyang from Yanzhou, they would be arrested by Chong Yi and taken to the prince's ceremonial guard every time.

This person had to hold on to Song Peiyu's "overstepping" and then quoted the scriptures to "reasonably" speculate that Song Peiyu was so presumptuous before he officially became the prince Yuanjun. After becoming the prince Yuanjun in the future, he would definitely kill her husband and usurp the throne.

After Song Peiyu proved her innocence, when she settled accounts with the courtiers who attacked him, naturally this person was not left behind.

This person has nothing to catch.

When Song Peiyu investigated him, the deepest impression was "picking".

Obviously there is no shortage of money, but it is amazing to pick.

This person picks at the money in his own hands, and will not think about other people's money because of it.

It can be regarded as a breeze in both sleeves.

Song Peiyu didn't bother to argue with this kind of person, so she didn't find out other people's tricks, so she had to fabricate one out of thin air.

If he does this, what's the difference with these people who slandered him?

It's a pity that Song Peiyu was willing to let this person go, but this person was unwilling to let her go.

After the impeachment of Song Peiyu failed, the people involved in it were almost wiped out.

As one of the few survivors, this person didn't put his tail between his legs, but quickly participated in the dismissal plan, and succeeded in being granted an indefinite period of recuperation in the mansion.

In just two days, this man cheered up again, and non-stop made an apology to Emperor Yonghe, wanting to return to the court.

Song Peiyu had to admire this person's strong execution ability.

He didn't expect that a person who used such sharp words when writing scolding scriptures could be so... nasty when writing confession scriptures.

After Eunuch Meng finished reading the scriptures, Emperor Yonghe took a sip of tea and said without hesitation, "Let him recover from his illness with peace of mind."

What's the use of flattering an old bastard with no winks?

I didn't even know who the offender was.

With the first notebook as a base, everyone listened to the following notebooks, and finally lost the feeling of being on pins and needles, but couldn't help comparing the notebook they were reading with the first notebook.

I always feel that the words used in the later excerpts are not as sincere as the first ones, as if there is something missing.

Every time Eunuch Meng finished reading a scripture, Emperor Yonghe would say "let him recuperate at ease", without exception.

Until the sixth copy, I know that my words and deeds are worthless, please forgive me, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince, and Your Highness Yuanjun. 'appears as the ending note.

Emperor Yonghe said 'hmm', and looked in the direction of Shou Chongyi and Song Peiyu, "What do you think?"

Song Peiyu tightly pinched Chong Yi's wrist which was placed under the table.

Chong Yi paused, and took Song Peiyu's hand into his backhand, and the disapproval between his eyebrows dissipated a bit.

He looked up at Emperor Yonghe, and said perfunctorily, "I can know my mistakes."

Song Peiyu's fingers quickly twitched in Chong Yi's palm.

"That's right." Chong Yi reluctantly added two words, and at some point, a faint red color suddenly appeared behind his ears.

Song Peiyu wanted to get up and answer, but her hand that was thrown into the net was being tightly grabbed by the person beside her, so she could only sit there and say nonchalantly, "I think what your Highness said is true."

Emperor Yonghe nodded, and looked at the courtiers again, "Since the crown prince and Yuanjun are magnanimous, let's punish him with a small punishment and punish him with half of his salary within half a year."

The courtiers naturally would not object.

King Liang had already gone to Liang County in person, because Emperor Yonghe was willing to sympathize with King Liang, allowing King Liang to return to Liang County occasionally to see his son.

In addition, Emperor Yonghe also sent an edict to recruit talents and recruit virtues to Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou.

I think that in the near future, there will be a steady stream of people coming to Xianyang with their families.

At this juncture, the courtiers naturally hope that the court can keep as many Zhao officials as possible.

Youzhou is the land of Longxing, and it is the courtiers of Youzhou who witnessed the Yonghe Emperor from the rebels of the Yan Kingdom to the master of Zhongxing.

They absolutely cannot bear to be cut off by someone who doesn't know what to do when they are picking the fruits of victory.

If it hadn't been for those unsatisfactory things that annoyed His Majesty first, they would definitely not agree with His Majesty's idea of ​​recruiting people from other places to enter the court.

After Eunuch Meng finished reading all the confessions, Emperor Yonghe looked at the person who was standing in the center of the court hall and brought news of Chen and Chu.

"Go, read out the two documents he brought, and let all the ministers listen." Emperor Yonghe pointed to the human being standing in the center of the hall.

Before Eunuch Meng walked over, the visitor took the initiative to lift up the document that he had already held in his hand.

It happened that the document of Chu State was on it, so Eunuch Meng took advantage of the opportunity to read the document of Chu State first.

Open the wax, but two letters fall out.

A letter from King Xiang of Chu State, the style of writing is familiar to everyone, warm congratulations to Chong Yi and Song Peiyu that the good news is approaching, and also mentioned that he prepared a gift for Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, hoping to catch up with Chong Yi and Song Peiyu wedding date.

Another letter came from Prince Chu, and the recipient was also Chong Yi, congratulating Chong Yi indifferently that a good thing is coming.

Compared with the intimate and measured words in King Xiang's letter, Prince Chu's letter is extraordinarily indifferent, but it is very in line with the relationship between Prince Chu and Zhao Guo.

After receiving the letter from King Xiang, the happiest person was King Su.

He asked someone to bring the letter that Eunuch Meng had read to him, and after reading it word by word, he put it into his bosom without any intention of giving it to Chong Yi again.

Then came the letter from Chen Guo. Eunuch Meng tore off the sealant, unfolded the letter paper, and was about to read the content on it, but suddenly his face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty" Eunuch Meng paused and bowed his head deeply.

I am afraid that this letter is not suitable for reading in public.

The impatience between Emperor Yonghe's eyebrows became even worse, and he stretched out his hand towards Eunuch Meng.

Eunuch Meng ran over immediately and put the letter in the hands of Emperor Yonghe.

After reading the contents of the letter with a single glance, Emperor Yonghe folded the letter paper and put it in his arms, got up without saying a word, and strode towards the apse.

Eunuch Meng was stunned for a moment, the word "retire from court" was the first to be uttered when Emperor Yonghe suddenly left and returned, and said in a deep voice, "Suzaku, Li Nu, Uncle Yunyang, Shang Shuling..."

A total of nine people were ordered to go to the back together with him.

After the backs of these people disappeared completely, the courtiers, who were affected by Emperor Yonghe's aura and unconsciously relaxed their breathing, breathed a sigh of relief, and then frantically exchanged glances with the left and right.

What exactly was written in Chen Guo's letter?

He actually made His Majesty lose his temper in public and called away so many important ministers.

Could it be... a peace negotiation?

Back then when Zhao Guo took Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou in one go, both the situation and morale were good, the courtiers had arguing about sending troops to Xuzhou according to whether they wanted to go south along Qingzhou.

It happened that there was a downpour between Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Zhao Jun watched the plains turn into lakes and rivers with his own eyes, almost thinking that there were gods appearing.

Chong Yi personally went to see the lakes and rivers after the heavy rain, and sent a letter back to Xianyang.

At least two-thirds of the 30 Zhao army must be wiped out before Xuzhou can be completely captured.

Unless Zhao Jun can be proficient in water in a short period of time, everyone will not be dizzy when fighting on the boat.

But eight of Zhao Jun's ten are landlubbers. How could it be possible to achieve these two points?

In this way, Zhao Jun stopped in Qingzhou and did not continue southward.

Since then, many Zhao officials have tacitly agreed that unless Chen Guo initiates a war, it is very likely that Zhao Guo will live in peace with Chen Guo for at least ten years.

At least wait for Zhao Guo to have a decent navy.

However, the reality is far from what the Zhao officials in the hall thought.

The content of the letter sent by Chen Guo is very simple.

It is neither a declaration of war nor a peace negotiation.

He simply mocked and cursed Chong Yi and Song Peiyu with extremely vicious words, his pedantic face and vicious words were more than a hundred times better than Zhao Chen.
