Chapter eight hundred and ninety-ninth cloud fluttering on the road
Yunyang fell silent, tapping his fingers gently and orderly on the table in front of him, and pondered for a long time.
"So you are more advocating to bow down and recognize Liu Xiaozi's throne?
But if this happens, do you know what we people will be burdened with?"
"Infamy, endless infamy!
However, it is not up to the junior to decide whether to approve or not. It would be better to wait until the other three brothers arrive before discussing it.
But with Liu Xiaozi’s character, if we insist on supporting the orthodoxy, we will definitely meet with swords.
Therefore, not only this junior, but also Uncle Yun, you must carefully consider which course to take.
If you surrender to Liu Xiaozi, you will indeed be betraying the final trust of Emperor Ruizong.
But - when Liu Xiaozi rebelled, it was the king who forced his ministers to rebel!
The truth about the Fengyundu assassination was revealed the moment Liu Xiaozi came back from the dead.
Although Liu Xiaozi did not deliberately promote anything, it was just because he wanted to preserve the last face of the Li clan.
But what is the truth?
Anyone who cares can guess it.
After all, Liu Xiaozi went from being a pillar of the imperial court who was loyal to the imperial court to a rebel and traitor in the blink of an eye. The reason was extremely clear.
Sometimes..........sigh..........
Since you, uncle and nephew, we can't come up with a conclusion through our discussions, we can only wait until the other three brothers arrive.
How to act at that time? Let the minority obey the majority.
What does Uncle Yun think?"
Yunyang rubbed his temples and muttered for a while, then nodded slightly helplessly.
"You should go back and take care of your business first. I'll be alone for a while."
"Okay, I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Kuang took one last look at Yunyang who looked also hesitant, shook his head and walked out of the hall with a sigh.
Less than half an hour after Zhang Kuang left, the sunset on the horizon was red, as red as blood.
A soldier hurried in.
"Commander, there is a man in his twenties or thirties wearing a hat and black veil outside the house. He asks to see you and says he is your old friend."
Yunyang's brows relaxed slightly, and he looked up at the soldiers with doubts in his eyes.
"Can you tell me your identity?"
"No, this person just said he was your old friend!"
"How can I have such an unknown friend whose name I dare not tell you? If you don't see me, please leave!"
"Yes! But this person said that if the commander-in-chief disappears, he will ask the humble officer to bring a message to the commander-in-chief."
"Mysterious, what are you talking about?"
“The clouds are floating and the road is long.
The clouds and rain are swaying, and the long sword is broken when it travels thousands of miles!"
Yunyang suddenly stood up at a speed that was not suitable for his age, startling the soldiers standing beside him.
"Big... handsome?"
Yunyang didn't pay attention to the panic of the soldiers, and stared at the slightly panicked soldiers with bright eyes.
"Where is this person?"
"Waiting outside the house!"
Yunyang's hands and feet wandered around a little helplessly. After a long time, Yunyang stopped and slowly exhaled.
"Ask her to wait at the back door, I will go see her in person later!"
"I have been ordered to resign from my humble position."
Yunyang silently watched the soldiers fly away, stroking his beard and murmuring sadly: "Silly boy, since you have already stayed away from the incident and lived a leisurely life of wandering clouds and wild cranes, why bother to come out and wade into this muddy water again!"
It takes about one stick of incense.
Yunyang put on loose clothes and rushed toward the back door of the Protector's Mansion alone without any attendants.
Yunyang seemed to have a calm expression, but his hurried footsteps had already betrayed his true mood at the moment.
At the back door of the Protector's Mansion, Yun Yang cautiously looked at his surroundings. After confirming that nothing was wrong, he opened the door bolt and walked out of the courtyard.
Looking at the figure standing next to the horse-tying stone in the backyard, stroking the horse's mane, Yunyang forcibly controlled the excitement in his eyes, coughed lightly, and took the lead to walk towards the left side of the alley.
"Uh-huh...little friend, let's talk later."
The figure wearing a bamboo hat and a Confucian robe was frightened. He turned around quickly and looked at the familiar figure of Yunyang who was walking away first. He pulled off the horse's reins and led his mount to follow silently.
The sixth floor of Qianli Scenery Restaurant.
The man in the bamboo hat looked at Yunyang, who had his back turned to him, closed the door and took off the bamboo hat that was covering his face, revealing Yun Xiaoxi's true face.
Sakura's lips trembled as she looked at Yunyang, whose body was much more stooped than a few years ago. Water mist formed in Yun Xiaoxi's red eyes, and she was about to cry.
"Grandpa...Grandpa!"
Yunyang's body trembled, and he silently turned around to look at Yun Xiaoxi, who was staring at him with tears in his eyes. There was excitement, regret and longing in his eyes, but he did not see Yun Xiaoxi's unexpected expression.
"Xi...Xi'er! What are you doing back here!"
Yun Xiaoxi was shocked by Yunyang's words, and stared blankly at Yunyang, who was staring at her with regret in his eyes: "Grandpa, you know...you know that I'm not dead?"
Yunyang smiled bitterly and nodded: "The Liu family has Liu Ye, and our Yun family also has Yun Xiao Shi.
Even if grandpa didn't know everything about the things you did to fake your death and escape from marriage, he made a general guess based on the intelligence and analysis.
It's impossible for you and your mother to escape the eyes and ears of the imperial spies, and your uncle Liu Zhi'an, an old fox, must be behind the scenes to help!"
"Then... then why didn't you... didn't expose Xi'er?"
Yunyang sat down heavily on the chair, sighed and looked at Yun Xiaoxi's stunned expression with complicated eyes.
"Alas, child, our Yun family's son Xingsheng, grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time and finally sent you, the apple of his eye.
Grandpa and your second grandfather, we treat you like a baby bump. We hold it in our mouths for fear of melting, and hold it in our hands for fear of falling.
Grandpa knows what kind of character you have been since you were a child. Why did you become the little overlord of the capital with your personality? Grandpa is like a mirror in his heart.
Don’t you just want to ruin your reputation so that you don’t have to enter the palace to be your queen?
But our Yun family owes a favor to the Li family.
Grandpa knows it very well, but he still hopes that one day you can change your mind and sincerely accept your future identity.
Play the harp and harp with Emperor Wu Zong, and live in love for a lifetime.
It's a pity that grandpa thought wrong. Until Ruizhong became famous and your marriage to Wu Zong came to an end, you still resisted being made a queen.
When you boarded the sedan chair and looked so well-behaved, grandpa thought you had finally figured it out.
But grandpa didn’t expect that what was waiting for him was not the good news that you and Wu Zong were getting married, but the sad news that you had been assassinated.”
"Then how did grandpa know that I am still alive?"
"I just received the news that you were assassinated, and Grandpa's sky is about to collapse.
After grandpa calmed down, he naturally wanted to investigate the traces of the murderer behind the scenes.
Although the royal family hopes that this matter will be settled peacefully, you are the apple of my grandfather's eye, and my grandfather cannot let it go so easily.
The matter of your assassination is full of loopholes. If you really want to investigate, you can always find something.
But your uncle Liu Zhi'an figured out that in order to win over Grandpa and the Yun family, the imperial court had to put this matter to rest.
So your assassination will come to an end naturally.
Later, grandpa secretly went to the Ministry of Justice to see the body.
My appearance is exactly the same as yours, but there are still some differences in height and body shape.
Others don't know it, but you grew up in front of your grandfather almost from childhood to adulthood. Grandpa didn't need to uncover the mystery of the corpse to know that the person lying in the morgue of the Ministry of Punishments was definitely not you, Xi'er.
Later, grandpa thought about what you did in the early years and realized that you never accepted that you would become the queen, but faked your death to escape from the marriage as a result of being assassinated.
In addition, the Empress Dowager secretly summoned Grandpa and said some personal words related to the imperial court.
In addition, the Northern Expedition was about to begin, so my grandfather had no choice but to go with the flow and agreed in a daze.
Alas, grandpa has been magnanimous in his life, but he only failed in your matter!"
Yun Xiaoxi looked at Yunyang's helpless face, flew to Yunyang and knelt down in front of him. She gently held Yunyang's arms with both hands, and put her side face on Yunyang's thigh. She had been saving up for a long time.
The tears finally fell down.
"grandfather!"
Yunyang's eyes gradually became trance-like as he watched his granddaughter holding herself to vent herself whenever she was wronged, just like when she was a child.
The charming woman who was kneeling in front of him slowly transformed into a child with braids.
