If she guessed correctly, if the Dongjue people dared to cause such blatant rebellion, Alyuna and the others would have escaped overnight. At least in the territory of Kyoto, they would not dare to be so arrogant. The Dongjue people in Fu Yunqi's mouth have always been
She is so insidious and cunning, but she was completely deceived by Aryuna's disguise before.
But why did Yang Jinxi abducted? Is it because of the Yang family’s financial resources?
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Before she felt the cold wind, she was wrapped tightly by Baitao in a fox fur cloak. She couldn't sleep anyway, so it was better to get up and move around while lying down. As she walked, she asked: "Can Dong Jue
Where are Khan and others now?"
Seeing this, Baitao helped her carefully to the dressing mirror, and said obediently: "It's still dark today, so Tingfeng went to the post house for a tour, and didn't see any Dongjue Khan. I heard what he said,
It is estimated that those people have returned to Dongjue long ago, otherwise they would not have dared to carry out a sneak attack in the middle of the night. From Yi Nunu's point of view, they are really ungrateful people. Thanks to Princess Yun, you were so kind to Concubine Yun before, and you almost even lost yourself for her...
....”
"She is her, and she is different from her brother and father." Chu Miaoer retorted softly. Judging from the scene where the three of their father and brother met yesterday, Al Yunduo should be completely unaware, but at the moment, she
I have no confidence either.
Baitao looked at the person in the bronze mirror and thought for a while, and did not continue to speak. She just curled her lips and complained, "Forget it, I will make you unhappy if I talk too much. It's better for me not to say anything. Take good care of the princess now."
You are my slave’s greatest concern.”
The snow that had been flying all night slowly stopped, and the foggy sky gradually became brighter. The long-lost sunshine shone on the white snow on the ground. There was light in the sky, and there was light on the snow. Suddenly, the sky and the earth were golden, so bright.
People can't open their eyes.
This is a good time to walk in the snow, but everyone in the Qiankun Palace is busy, and no one can show any interest at all. Xu Taiqing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who has not been seen for a long time due to illness, is also standing there with a frown on his face.
, looking worried.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here." Tingfeng looked at the door, lowered his head and whispered.
"I have met the Queen Mother——"
Fu Yunqi looked at Chu Qianqian who was following her calmly, and lowered his eyes before their eyes met. But Fu Yanxuan caught a hint of surprise in the Queen Mother's eyes, but it disappeared in just a moment. This made
He was very puzzled.
It was clearly the Queen Mother who invited him to the palace to discuss important matters, so why did she seem to be surprised that he would appear here? Fu Yanxuan lowered his head and frowned slightly.
"The female relatives of the harem are not allowed to participate in politics. The Ai family's coming here today has already violated the palace rules. But now that Dongjue has violated our integrity and violated the boundaries of our country, the Ai family can only come forward on behalf of the emperor. Yun Qi, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother looked at Fu Yunqi quietly.
There was really nothing she could do about the "son" she had picked up. She didn't know whether she should regret that she didn't get rid of him along with his mother and concubine back then, or she should be grateful that because of her original kindness, she was able to let Dai Jin still have his wife.
room for change.
Everyone turned to look at Fu Yunqi in silence, because now everyone in the court knew that the Queen Mother intended for Fu Yunqi to inherit the throne, but Fu Yunqi had no such idea.
"My son, I have no idea." Fu Yunqi's pupils were filled with endless indifference, and his deep voice had no fluctuation, as if a cold wind suddenly hit the hall, making people shiver.
He stood there upright, looking at the Queen Mother intently and firmly. The ministers lowered their heads, and no one spoke for a while, and time seemed to have stopped.
"Report—" the imperial guard shouted and ran over to the door, breaking the awkward atmosphere. Everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly looked up at him.
The imperial guard rushed to the door of the hall, presented the envelope with both hands, and said anxiously: "Fourth Prince, your letter was sent from outside the palace at great speed."
Could it be that something happened in Mobei? Otherwise, why would he rush to deliver a letter? Tingfeng stepped forward to take the letter suspiciously, turned around and handed it to Fu Yunqi, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please take a look."
Fu Yunqi had a vague suspicion in his mind, so when he saw the content of the letter, he did not show too much surprise, but his expression suddenly became fierce. Tingfeng, on the other hand, had a look of astonishment on his face. If he hadn't seen the Queen Mother present,
, almost blurted out some inappropriate words.
"Why are you so shocked?" After seeing Tingfeng's reaction, the Queen Mother felt a little uneasy, but she still pretended to be calm and asked.
Fu Yunqi folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Dongjue raided Mobei. Ji Ke sent a letter asking his ministers to set off north immediately to put an end to the rebellion."
"No!" The Queen Mother refused directly without thinking, and said sternly, "Now the Dongjue people are taking the opportunity to cause chaos, and the ambition of the wolf is obvious! The emperor has shown no sign of waking up since he coughed up blood yesterday, but the country cannot be left without a king for a day.
, if you go to Mobei this time, who will make the decision on the affairs of the DPRK?"
"Yes...Fourth Prince, because of the emperor's illness, rumors have spread in the court. You are fashionable and can stabilize the court. If you leave now, this..." The Minister of Rites bitterly
With a straight face, he said, "Who will take over the affairs of the DPRK and China?"
"I second my opinion...Fourth Prince, you should think twice..." Some of the ministers in the court echoed, and they spoke with righteous indignation.
Fu Yunqi was not in a hurry to explain to them. He just glanced at the people present very calmly and asked expressionlessly: "Then, please make your recommendations, who should the Queen Mother send to Mobei?"
His words were like explosives, hitting the hearts of the ministers with a "bang", but immediately silenced. These people looked at each other, and after a moment, they seemed to react, and whispered in embarrassment: "This
..."
"Mother," Fu Yunqi turned to look at the Queen Mother, his eyes full of indifference, "It is not impossible for me to stay in Kyoto, but who do you think is appropriate for me to go to Mobei? I will listen to my mother."
Fu Yanxuan on the side knew what had happened between them, and looked at the Queen Mother's face suddenly turning pale. There seemed to be a hint of weirdness in his usually peaceful expression, and his eyes became complicated and subtle.
The other ministers did not know what happened between the two of them. They only thought that as Fu Yunqi said, everything was arranged by the Queen Mother, so Xu Taiqing boldly took a step forward and said sternly: "The Queen Mother,
Wei Chen felt that what the Fourth Prince said was unreasonable. Although there were troops stationed at the Mobei border all year round, they might not disturb the peace of the people for a while, but the Dongjue people were ready to give it a go. They were barbaric and unreasonable, and Xiling was massacred overnight.
This is the best example. But if the Fourth Prince is there, it will more or less have a deterrent effect, and the Dongjue people will not be so rampant."
"Then Mr. Xu, please tell me, who is more suitable to entrust this court matter to?" The Queen Mother remained calm and looked at him steadily.
Xu Taiqing's reputation for uprightness was well-deserved. He raised his eyes to Fu Yanxuan, who had been silent all this time, and said bluntly: "I think the second prince is acceptable."
"Second Prince?" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, as if covered with a layer of cold frost, her brows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes were complicated.
"Yes, the second prince was extremely smart when he was young. I have heard the late emperor privately praise him many times," Xu Taiqing said impassionedly. "The second prince has been sharpening his skills for many years, which shows that he is a calm person. Wei Chen believes that the second prince must
competent!"
The Queen Mother's face became very ugly, and she was extremely angry but could not show it.
Fu Yanshuo never expected that the spearhead would be pointed directly at him, and he subconsciously looked at Fu Yunqi beside him. But the other party looked back at him disapprovingly, with a calm expression, as if to say: everything is under his control.
middle.
Now Ye Zhiqiu has just left, and the young prince has just turned one month old. Fu Yanshuo just wants to live the rest of his life in peace. If the Queen Mother had not personally ordered him to enter the palace today, he would not have the energy to participate in these things, and naturally he would not
Will agree.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your words." He nodded to Xu Taiqing first, then turned around and said, "Mother, my sons and ministers are used to being undisciplined. I am afraid that I will not be able to properly handle the government affairs of the DPRK." Fu Yanshuo thought for a while, and suddenly
He changed his words and said, "If the Queen Mother agrees, I am willing to station in Mobei for my fourth brother until the situation is stable and stable before returning to Kyoto."
Everyone could hear the implication of his words, but why could the Queen Mother not hear it? She breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could completely relax, the breath was blocked in her throat.
"The people of Mobei and the Dongjue people have been doing business all year round, so the Dongjue people are very familiar with the terrain of Mobei. The second brother is not familiar with the place. I'm afraid it won't have any effect, but will make the Dongjue people even more unscrupulous."
Although Fu Yunqi is not her biological flesh and blood, he is her nominal son, at least all the ministers think he is. For her position as the Queen Mother, she cannot let Fu Zheyin come back.
Mobei, the year when Fu Yunqi was crowned, she sent him to Mobei in order to guard one side and consolidate Fu Deyou's throne. Now, there is really no one more suitable to go to Mobei than him.
"Fourth Prince, do you mean that the Second Prince must stay in the palace?" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said word by word.
With everyone watching, Fu Yunqi nodded calmly: "Other than that, I, my mother, my queen, and my son have no other choice."
The fourth prince and the queen mother were facing each other in a tense confrontation. It seemed that no one had any intention of giving in first. All the bystanders were sweating behind their backs.
I don't know how long it took, until someone came from outside to deliver an urgent report, and the Queen Mother nodded in acquiescence.
When she walked to Fu Yunqi, she looked through Fu Yunqi and stared at Fu Yanshuo behind Fu Yunqi, and said in two voices: "You must remember the promise you made to the Aijia."
Fu Yunqi curled his lips but said nothing.
The so-called promise was that night when he entered the palace and promised the Queen Mother that if Fu Yanxuan succeeded in ascending to the throne, he would persuade Fu Yanxuan to still treat her as the Queen Mother, and her position in the harem would be unshakable.
