Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Yun Jin led the troops to the border that time and became famous in the first battle.
Although General Qi saved his life, he was no longer able to guard the border and had to disarm and return to his fields.
However, Yun Jin defeated the invading enemy troops and retreated five hundred miles away from the border. He also promised to pay tribute to a thousand cattle and sheep, so Yun Jin did not continue to kill them all.
In ten years, Yang Ji grew up from a small child to a teenager.
He is sixteen years old this year, and after his wedding, he will take charge of the government himself.
However, Yang Ji has never been sure about the first thing he wants to do after taking office.
He felt that if he let the emperor brother out, his mother would definitely be unhappy.
Therefore, I am very troubled and don't know how to get the best of both worlds.
Shi Jiang was holding the golden scissors and was leisurely repairing the bonsai.
Xi Le hurried over, blessed her, stepped forward and whispered to her.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is ready to bring back the deposed prince Yang Jian."
There was a clicking sound, and Shi Jiang's scissors cut off a cluster of excess branches.
Then she threw the branch into the tray aside. The scissors in her hand were not affected at all. She continued to prune it a few times. Only when it was cut into a shape that Shi Jiang was satisfied with, she casually dropped the golden scissors in her hand.
"The emperor is already sixteen, not the six years old before. There are some words that the Ai family has said once. If he listens to them, that's it. If he doesn't, it's his fate. From now on, there is no need to report such things.
Aijia.”
Shi Jiang waved his hand, looking impatient.
Now she eats, drinks, listens to songs, and sometimes throws some valuable and delicious things into a bag, so she doesn't want to live a comfortable life.
She didn't bother to care about Yang Ji's attempt to commit suicide.
Yang Jiong thought that as long as he killed Concubine Cui, everything would be over, but he never thought that half of Cui's blood was flowing in Yang Jian's body.
The ten years of keeping vigil in the imperial mausoleum were enough for Yang Jian's hatred for Yang Jiong to reach its peak.
If Yang Ji doesn't cause trouble and continues to let Yang Jian guard the imperial mausoleum, then Yang Ji will naturally be able to take charge safely and steadily, and then continue the dynasty for another hundred years.
But if Yang Ji releases Yang Jian, it is still unknown whether this dynasty can still have the surname Yang.
As for Yang Ji, there was no communication between Shi Jiang and him except daily greetings.
Even his queen was chosen by Yang Ji himself as the legitimate second daughter of Mr. Wu Ge.
The name of Mr. Wu Ge's legitimate daughter was not originally on the list after this election.
But she couldn't resist the emperor's liking, so Shi Jiang Shixiang shut her mouth and did not express her worries.
And in these ten years, not only Yang Ji has grown up.
Of the original four auxiliary ministers, only three are left.
Among them, the power of Wu Ge Lao has expanded the most.
After all, another auxiliary minister, Zheng Xiangye, the Minister of Rites, was on his side.
For no other reason, the eldest daughter of Mr. Wu Ge married Zheng Qian, the second son of Zheng Xiangye.
The two families are already married, so naturally they will not stand on opposite sides, but will work together to deal with another auxiliary minister.
Now, coupled with the fact that Mr. Wu Ge's daughter is married to the emperor, the power of the Wu family can be said to be unparalleled in the capital for a while, and no one can surpass it.
Just after Yang Ji took office, he secretly released Yang Jian from the imperial mausoleum.
Yun Jin, who was guarding the border far away, also returned to Beijing.
This immediately shocked the government and the public. After all, in the past ten years, it was all thanks to Yun Jin's contribution to intimidating the barbarians outside the border.
Because of his merits, in the third year, Shi Jiang proposed to appoint him as regent. Although Elder Wu Ge and others were dissatisfied, they could not say no.
After all, Yun Jin still needs to guard the border!
He couldn't come back anyway, so he was given the title of regent, and in the end no one objected.
The fact is that just as Mr. Wu Ge and others thought, Yun Jin was canonized as Queen Regent and did not change her requirements for the child.
Moreover, Yun Jin stayed at the border for ten years.
Everyone in the court, including Mr. Wu Ge, thought that Yun Jin would stay at the border for the rest of his life, protecting his family and country.
Unexpectedly, after the emperor took charge, he actually came back?
When Yang Ji learned about Yun Jin's return, his first reaction was to find his mother.
However, when he arrived outside Cining Palace, he was rejected.
Since the emperor's wedding, Shi Jiang moved from Fengyi Palace to Cining Palace and handed over all the palace affairs of the harem to the queen.
After moving there, I basically stayed behind closed doors.
Outside, it was said that the Queen Mother was devoted to worshiping Buddha, so she rarely saw people.
In fact, Shi Jiang would sneak out of the palace every day to eat, drink and have fun with Xi Le.
She didn't want to be locked up in a palace at such a young age and waste her time. When one day came, she didn't want to stay here anymore, so she burned down the Cining Palace and then went to the ends of the world, wherever she wanted!
However, she has not yet accomplished all the things she promised at the beginning!
Therefore, now is not the time for her to leave.
Thinking of Yun Jin who had returned to Beijing, Shi Jiang couldn't help but click his tongue, and then he clapped his hands and applauded the Wu Sheng on the stage downstairs for his series of tumbles.
Seeing this, Xi Le couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
The emperors are getting married now, and in a few years, the queen mother will be able to have grandchildren. If someone sees her now, no one else would dare to recognize her.
However, the next moment, she was slapped in the face.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but the Queen Mother is still as charming as ever!"
As the male voice sounded, Yun Jin opened the door, walked in calmly from outside, and sat down next to Shi Jiang.
Shi Jiang glanced at him sideways, picked up the peanuts on the table, peeled them open and threw them into his mouth.
"I thought it would take another half a month for you to return to Beijing!"
Yun Jin smiled, picked up a peanut, peeled it and threw it into his mouth.
"If I wait half a month before returning to Beijing, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold!"
Hearing what he said, Shi Jiang clapped his hands and said slightly impatiently.
"Now that you're back, hurry up! I don't want to stay in that lifeless palace anymore. Once you've done it, let Xi Le send a message to me."
After saying that, Shi Jiang stood up and turned around to leave.
Hearing Shi Jiang's words, Xi Le and Yun Jin looked at each other, with shocked looks in their eyes.
Especially Joy, she always thought she hid it very well.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother actually knew for a long time that she was the Regent's man?
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Xi Le's back.
Yun Jin was silent for a moment and then came back to his senses.
"Go ahead, she won't do anything to you."
Hearing what the regent said, Xi Le quickly chased after him.
On the way back to the palace, Xi Le kept cautiously peeking at the Queen Mother.
Shi Jiang felt that if she looked further, she would definitely see a hole in her face.
"Have you ever thought about what you will do after leaving the palace?"
Just when Xi Le took a peek at the Queen Mother for the nth time, she heard the Queen Mother ask this question.
