Chapter 979 The Regent Returns to Beijing

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

When the regent comes back, he won't be able to reap the benefits.

At the end of October, it was already so cold in the capital that it was necessary to wear cotton-padded jackets. The regent and his entourage finally arrived in the capital.

According to the rules, he should first go to the palace to report his work before going home.

But after he entered the city, he went directly to the Prince's Mansion of Yannan County without stopping.

He knelt in front of the memorial tablet of Princess Yannan County and did not move for a long time.

He didn't cry or speak.

From Ying Ning's perspective, you can see the tears and grief in his eyes.

Li Diyao, Murong Qing, Yang Xue and others were also standing by. Seeing the regent's appearance, they all felt strange in their hearts.

Speaking of close relationships, the regent is Yang's son-in-law, so he should come to pay homage.

But looking at his performance at this time, he was so sad and heavy.

This sadness seems to have exceeded the son-in-law's feelings for his mother-in-law.

The regent knelt in front of the soul for half an hour, and before leaving, he kowtowed three more times.

This shocked everyone in the county palace.

The regent is so kind to the eldest daughter of the family, he loves the house and the bird, and he also respects the princess of Yannan County as his mother-in-law.

Manager Zhou wiped his tears and sighed softly: "The princess of the county knows her well. Seeing that the prince is so filial is a little comfort."

King Xuan stopped and said, "Guard Zhou, does the princess have any unfulfilled wishes before she dies?"

"Alas." Manager Zhou sighed and wiped his tears, "I only know that the night before the princess died, she called our third master's name in the middle of the night, and also called the name of young master Ci."

King Xuan was silent for a while and asked: "Why is it called Ci'er? Didn't Ci'er wait for the sick in front of the bed?"

"His Majesty took Young Master Ci to go hunting in those few days. Our eldest lady sent someone to pick up Young Master Ci, but it was a step too late after all. When it came to the end, no one was seen. The Princess of the County couldn't close her eyes!

"Guanshi Zhou said sadly, "The princess has been worried about the prince and the princes all her life, but at the end of the day, the prince and the prince are not around. How sad the princess must be."

King Xuan closed his eyes, went to find Ying Ning, and said, "I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

The two of them sat in the carriage of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Ying Ning asked: "Aren't you going to enter the palace to meet the Saint?"

"No." King Xuan's tone was cold, and Ying Ning could clearly feel his suppressed anger, "Now, let me sort out the whole thing."

Ying Ning looked at him, not knowing what he was going to say.

King Xuan said: "The young prince and Lu Qinghan took advantage of the time when I went to the south to provide disaster relief and help the people, so that their old and frail father and the eldest brother who was not good at being a commander went to the north to conquer, and then they took Ci'er out.

Palace, my mother was not able to see Ci'er before she died. I also heard that the cabinet has notified the Ministry of Personnel and is preparing to transfer my second brother to a local official."

Li Diyao was born as a Jinshi. He stayed in the Hanlin Academy for several years, and then was transferred to a local official to accumulate experience at the grassroots level. After returning, he could be promoted.

For any other official, this would be a normal upward process.

But at this juncture, it's hard not to think too much.

Ying Ning said: "Now that my father and eldest brother are outside, the third brother doesn't want to be an official. It's just that the cabinet..."

"What, now it is announced that the cabinet has the final say in the imperial court?" King Xuan was furious, "Does the cabinet now regard the Li family as a thorn in its side, a thorn in the flesh, and want to get rid of it?"

Amidst the bumps and shakes of the carriage, Ying Ning suddenly felt the killing intent coming from him.
