Chapter 217 Punish the Empress Dowager vigorously and resolutely!
Thinking of this, the emperor's mood was not so bad, and he gradually became more relaxed and waited.
Waiting with the emperor in front of the palace gate are, except Mei Xiang, the other three princes and nine ministers. There are not many people.
But they are all high-ranking officials of third rank or above, and the Yushitai doctor is also here.
After a while...
The sound of the ceremonial procession of returning to the DPRK is approaching!
"What is the regent doing? The ceremonial guard is so loud, are you going to rebel?"
Doctor Yushitai, who was the first to express his dissatisfaction, is ready to impeach!
Generally speaking, not all of the troops returning to the court will enter the city. Most of them will be stationed outside the city. After receiving their rewards, they will each return to their respective military camps.
But Ye Chenfeng's team obviously exceeded the regulations of the ceremonial guard, and the Yushitai was an institution for inspecting hundreds of officials. As a Yushi doctor, Qin would naturally not let it go, but——
"Report!"
Guan Feng, who came first on horseback, has loudly reported what happened at the city gate!
Upon hearing this, the ministers, including the imperial censor, were all stunned again and again...
They are not emperors, so they cannot "listen to all directions" while waiting quietly.
So only now did they know what happened at the city gate, and they were looking at each other in disbelief.
Guan Feng continued to report: "The prince has decided that the meritorious officers and soldiers on this trip should enter the city and shed their blood for the night. They should be welcomed by the people of the capital! If there is any violation of the regulations, they will be punished as required.
The prince will bear the punishment alone!"
"This..." The expressions of the dozen or so important ministers changed.
The imperial censor's face became even darker, "This is unreasonable! Your Majesty, you need to be severely punished! Severe punishment! This is not..."
"Well, the emperor's brother has a charming temperament and asked for orders for his robe. Dear friends, I should be considerate. After all, we are able to enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age here because of these soldiers who guard the border against foreign enemies. It cannot be
Punishment! Reward.
"Come on! Let the gentlemen from the Liyuan come to the palace gate quickly and play the national song to welcome my warriors on this night!" The emperor's decisive order surprised many people.
However, the imperial envoy knelt down and praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise and benevolent!"
"Your Majesty is wise and benevolent!" All the ministers agreed and bowed, basically realizing that they were trying to win over the morale of the army.
Guan Feng didn't say much. After reporting the matter, he resigned after seeing the emperor's countermeasures.
…
By the time the victorious army, headed by Ye Chenfeng and Mei Wen'er, arrived at the Great Night Palace, the Liyuan Troupe had already started playing traditional Chinese music.
The sound of bells ringing, cauldrons and chimes is majestic! Listening to the ears of thirty thousand soldiers, their blood surged even more, but...
The emperor, who was gazing at the army carefully, found with a bit of grit in his teeth that these soldiers, after appreciating his kindness, were all looking at his imperial brother!
"Ah."
The emperor sneered in his heart and understood that what he had done was recorded by these idiots in the army! His imperial brother.
This is indeed the case! In the eyes of the soldiers, all the courtesy they received today is because they have a good general who is good at fighting! He is also considerate of them, the small soldiers and generals.
Mei Wen'er felt it in her heart and had to sigh that Ye Chenfeng's reputation in the army was really high. It was obviously something the emperor did to win people's hearts, and he could still be remembered for Ye Chenfeng.
"No wonder Guan Feng didn't care at all after he reported back. It turned out he had expected it." Mei Wen'er sighed and thought in her heart. Only by being in it can she better appreciate the cohesion of Ye Chenfeng.
The next two greetings were all court etiquette, and the army was ordered to station outside the palace gate. Ye Chenfeng, Mei Wen'er and the officials followed the emperor into the palace.
In the court, Mei Wen'er only listened but did not tell how Ye Chenfeng reported the specific military situation. However, she finally understood why the lieutenant generals believed in Ye Chenfeng.
As a coach, he is really attentive! As long as every general with military exploits meets the reporting standards, he will report it carefully and without any ambiguity!
However, what surprised Mei Wen'er was that the emperor was also unambiguous. He agreed to all the awards proposed by Ye Chenfeng, until Mei Wen'er came here...
"My princess deserves a royal title." When Ye Chenfeng said this, he also felt a little emotional. Other wives relied on their husbands' glory, but his little wife was different. She earned her royal title by herself.
"It should be so, and besides..." The emperor paused and looked at Mei Wen'er, who had been quiet all this time, with a hidden light floating in his eyes.
"I think I should have a title. Not only can I help the country to be safe at night, but also Mrs. Ningguo, how about it?" The emperor who came slowly seemed to be asking Ye Chenfeng, but in fact he had been looking at Mei Wen'er.
Mei Wen'er was startled for a moment, and instinctively looked to her side, which made the sitting emperor slightly displeased!
But at this time, Ye Chenfeng had already nodded and thanked him, "Thank you so much, my dear brother! This is Mrs. Ning Guo."
On the night, a titled Lady of Yipingaoming is more honorable than one without a title!
In other words, in the future, in the royal family, even when facing the older generation of princesses, they must salute Mei Wen'er!
Ye Chenfeng didn't expect that his royal brother could do some good things, but he tolerated his side thoughts.
then--
After finalizing the procedures for the celebration banquet three days later, Ye Chenfeng took Mei Wen'er to leave and go to the harem to meet the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty did not embarrass the prince this time." Mei Wen'er whispered as she was walking on the road, a little surprised.
Ye Chenfeng was not too surprised, "He is not a fool. When he is not impatient, he will make things difficult for me."
For example, right now, the emperor who is magnanimous, easy-going, and tolerant makes Ye Chenfeng's plans somewhat useless.
But since they had been fighting each other for many years, he wasn't too surprised, so although he was a little regretful, he wasn't upset.
not to mention……
His first purpose in returning to the capital was not to do anything to his imperial brother, but to break the Queen Mother's shit stick!
"Let's go." Ye Chenfeng quickened his pace, obviously in a hurry.
Mei Wen'er understood that he was worried about the Empress Dowager, so she followed him and walked faster.
When the two of them hurried to Wutong Hall, Hexi was already waiting outside the palace gate, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are finally here."
When Ye Chenfeng heard this, his expression changed, "What's wrong with Grandma Huang?"
"Please come first!" Hexi greeted immediately, and the three of them quickly walked into the inner hall.
The strong smell of medicine that greeted them made Mei Wen'er feel a little uncomfortable, but when they got closer, their expressions changed!
The Empress Dowager, who was lying in the bed tent, had a skinny face. She was actually several times thinner than when they left! Her complexion was also extremely poor.
No wonder the imperial doctor asked the emperor to prepare for his funeral, with this look...
"Let me see!"
Mei Wen'er, who immediately began to diagnose her pulse, could not think about anything else.
As for Ye Chenfeng, he already shouted, "Yun Zhong, Guan Feng!"
"My subordinates are here!" The two of them entered quickly!
"Aunt Hexi, please take them two to the Queen Mother's Palace and detain them here!"
