Chapter 183 Sun Yu's Expectation

Under the protection of the emperor, the Gu family passed the border without any risk, and received the mission to thoroughly investigate the origin of the rebel army.

The most unlucky one was of course the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, General Hushi. Zheng Gu was dismissed and imprisoned on the spot. His descendants and family members, except Zheng Fengyu, who was granted an extra pardon because he was the son-in-law of the eldest princess Yunan, were only placed under house arrest outside the eldest princess's mansion. Including the baby who was still in its infancy, they were all imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, waiting for the six departments and Dali Temple to discuss their crimes together.

Then there are the local officials who were intimidated by the fake noble son of the rebels and let them go all the way.

The good thing about these lives is that Chunjia intentionally or unintentionally said "excuse the situation", and the officials decided to punish them with small punishments, so that they would not be beaten to death with a stick and not given a chance.

After investigating, it is to reward meritorious deeds.

Because of the meritorious service in the escort, everyone in Taichu Palace has grace.

There are also some courtiers and servants who were not afraid of life and death after receiving the news and rushed to the palace to try to rescue him...and some soldiers of the imperial army who performed well in resisting the rebel attack, etc.

Because of the shock caused by the palace change, and the brave and calm aftermath of the emperor who personally went into battle to kill the enemy, the ministers' awe of Chunjia was even higher. The whole process was carried out according to the emperor's wishes, basically no mention What an opposing opinion.

In the end, Ouyang Yanran stood up with Yun Zhao, praised Chunjia's bravery and generosity, and persuaded him not to take such risks next time.

After all, with a body of ten thousand gold, if there is a slight mistake, he will go to the harem, and there will be chaos.

As an emperor, there is nothing wrong with being a bit more steady sometimes.

Anyway, as long as Chunjia is around, even if the rebels break through Miyagi and even take down the Imperial Capital, so what?

The army of King Qin from all over the place arrived, can they hold it?

At that time, Chunjia will travel to other places, and when Miyagi Imperial Capital is recovered, he will still be the emperor!

The emperor was noncommittal about this fear and concern from the bottom of his heart, and only said: "The two lovers have worked hard, I know."

When he arrived at the gate of the palace last night, the situation was actually not very good. The most important thing was that he heard a lot of noise in the dark night, and he didn't know how many rebels there were, what their origins were, and what cards they had. Just listening to their cries that Wei He's army had arrived by detour, just tens of miles outside the city, many big households in the city had already decided to surrender to the enemy, and the imperial capital would definitely not be able to keep it. Surrendering now can save the family, otherwise the whole family will not be good after the imperial capital falls. What happened...Because the country has not had a decent war for more than ten or twenty years, and the most recent battle was between the Dingbei Army and Weihe. The imperial army has been defending the imperial capital for many years. The soldiers basically never saw blood.

Suddenly encountering an accident, under the panic, 100% of the combat power can't play 30% or 40%, and they are defeated by the rebels who are actually not that many!

It was also Chunjia who arrived in time and immediately refuted the nonsense of the rebels. First of all, if these people really had enough people, the unprepared Imperial Army might not be able to defend the palace gate sooner!

Secondly, the Weihe army was severely injured by the Dingbei army and Prince Xifa in the morning, and had to flee far away. Otherwise, how would the country divide the gold mine? Not to mention that it is impossible for them to bypass the many barriers along the way and appear near the Imperial Capital, even if they can, how many people can there be? Is the Imperial Household stupid? Cooperate with this lost dog!

The third emperor personally boarded the city wall to command, and claimed to have mobilized the main force of the forbidden army outside the city to come...

In this way, the morale of the Forbidden Army was greatly boosted, and the rebels were killed and retreated in one go.

Otherwise, I don't know what the result will be.

It's fine as long as it was only raging in the previous dynasty, once it scattered into the harem, except for the imperial concubine who was sent by the emperor to pick up Xiao Penglai, the other concubines would also die.

Although Chunjia does not have to protect the concubines other than the imperial concubine, after all, she has served her for many years, and most of the empresses have considerable family backgrounds behind them, so it is better not to give up if they can.

The most important thing is that the emperor also needs to prove his ability and courage to his officials.

He has a good reputation in martial arts and martial arts, but he doesn't have any outstanding achievements. Why can't he talk about the massacre of the Ji family? This time the rebels attacked Miyagi was an accident, but it was also an opportunity for Chunjia to perform.

When danger is approaching, can a king who can only evade give his subjects the same feeling and deterrence as a king who rises to the challenge?

To take a risk for this, Chunjia thought it was worth it.

Of course, these calculations, the monarch and his ministers knew it well, so they didn't say it.

So many things were dealt with almost, and it was not too early, so Chunjia let all the officials disperse.

After the courtiers got up in twos and threes to leave, there was still one person kneeling in the spacious hall.

Imperial envoy, Sun Yu.

He wanted to leave, but he didn't dare.

If the crime of the imperial army and the officials along the way is mainly due to dereliction of duty.

Then this matter, the crime of Huangcheng Secretary is even more serious.

is incompetent.

The rebel army had reached the gate of the palace, and the emperor personally went to the front to command and encourage, but the Imperial City Secretary was still at a loss as to what was going on...

What is the use of such an emperor's eyes and ears? ? ?

Just before the ministers gathered, the emperor was furious, and even said: "Even if I keep a few dogs outside the palace gate, the rebels will bark a few times to remind me when they approach, the big imperial city secretary, I don't know what to ask! What's the use of raising you guys!!!"

Sun Yu was so scolded that he held his breath and did not dare to say a word.

Zheng Gu can still say that he is guilty, and he can also ask the emperor for mercy.

he?

He didn't dare to speak at all!

I'm afraid that after saying something, the emperor will be even more furious, and it is possible to kill him directly!

In fact, Sun Yu himself was also furious. He hadn't heard any news about such a big matter beforehand. Who would believe that it wasn't something wrong with the Imperial City Division?

He already had a target of suspicion, and he knew it, and it was inseparable from the late Prince Regent.

The problem is, he is the envoy of the imperial city!

He is in charge of hosting the Imperial City Secretary!

Not to mention that the regent is gone, even if the regent is still there, he has nothing to say when the emperor asks him.

Just like Chunjia's disappointment with the queen, the position is given to you, and the basic power is also given to you. If you can't sit in this position yourself and can't meet my expectations, what else can you say? We are all grown-ups, why don't you ask me to take care of you again and again?

Then what do I want you to do?

So Sun Yu didn't dare to leave at all.

He was worried that if he left on his front foot, the emperor's treatment on his back foot would also come down.

After all, the Imperial City Secretary is the emperor's pro-army, and the rewards and punishments are all at the emperor's whim, and there is no need for discussion among the officials.

Kneeling here to plead guilty, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

If it left, it would probably be cold.

"But I hope the people below can be smarter..." Sun Yu was very anxious. After receiving the news last night, he knew it was not good. The noble concubine in the palace, pleading for herself.

At such a time, the only one who can persuade Chunjia is the imperial concubine.

At this moment, the imperial concubine was on the little Penglai, watching the two empress dowagers board the ship.

The boat is a flat boat, not very big, and apart from the palace people rowing, it can only hold five or six people at most.

The same boat came here last night, because it was inconvenient to use a big boat in a hurry.

As for the fact that there are only small boats at the moment... That is of course because last night it was not clear how far the palace change would go. In order to prevent the rebels from attacking the harem, they would catch up after knowing that the empress dowager, the first prince and the noble concubine were hiding in Little Penglai. After the group of them arrived in Little Penglai, some palace people destroyed all the existing painting boats.

It's only been a few hours now, so of course it's impossible to fix it.

Yun Fenghuang asked the two empress dowagers, the tenth prince, and the twelve princes to go first, and he took the seventh prince to leave last.

After all, since there is nothing wrong outside, there is no need to rush.

On the contrary, the two empress dowagers were anxious to see how Chunjia was doing, and they didn't care about the disharmony after hearing the words. They brought the two princes who were born in the first place, and they were about to board the ship.

But at this time, the tenth prince suddenly said: "Grandmother Quhuang, are you going to the queen mother's side later?"

Empress Dowager Qu said casually: "Let's disembark at the Taichu Palace now, first to see your father and emperor, and then send you back to your mother's side."

As a result, the tenth prince and the twelfth prince glanced at each other and refused to board the boat, saying that they wanted the queen mother and not the emperor father.

This is not surprising, although Chunjia prefers one of these two princes to enter the East Palace, they are too young after all, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and the relationship with the empress is not very good. relative.

Of course, the emperor was not in a hurry. His idea was to take the two children with him and teach them in person after they entered school.

At that time, I will not worry about the strangeness between father and son.

Right now, in the eyes of the tenth and twelfth princes, the empress mother, Gu Zhen, is the elder they can trust and rely on, and the waiters in the Chongchang Palace are also familiar and dependable to them.

As for Father Emperor Chunjia...

They are ignorant and really have no concept.

So they spent most of the night in Little Penglai in a daze, and now all they think about is to return to the queen mother as soon as possible. As for the father...they are not familiar with the father, so they really can't imagine what will happen when they see the father?

Because Gu Zhen has nothing to do, she loves all the children under her knees, except for the eighth prince who is forced to do so. The tenth prince and the twelfth prince are jade dishes in the identity of the legitimate sons, and she will not rely on them in the future. For nothing, she was even more concerned. In addition, the two princes are young and haven't reached the point where they need to be strictly disciplined, so they have always been allowed to grow up. Although they were scolded by Queen Mother Yuan in the middle of the night, Queen Mother Qu quickly coaxed them. I really didn't have much fear. At this moment, I proposed to go back to the harem to see Gu Zhen. After being politely rejected by Queen Mother Qu, I immediately burst into tears and refused to board the boat.

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang made a smooth game: "The two empress dowagers, the prince is young, and after a lot of trouble, it is human nature to want to go back to the empress. How about letting the two princes join the concubine? The concubine will send Xiaoqi back first, and then tidy up."

She didn't intend to go to see Chunjia together. After all, she also knew that Chunjia's side must be a mess now. Even if she went, she probably wouldn't have a chance to talk. It's better to go back and take a breath. When Chunjia is done, she will definitely appease the harem. , I will ask about it in detail at that time.

Anyway, it's good to know that people are okay.

This is a rare time for Yun Fenghuang to rescue the two empress dowagers with good intentions, but in the end, Empress Dowager Qu paid it off, but Empress Dowager Yuan turned a deaf ear to the two little princes, and said coldly: "Idiots! If it weren't for your father Intentionally flattering you, do you think you can have such an opportunity? You don’t want it, others wish you didn’t! Come up!”

Yun Fenghuang's expression darkened upon hearing this, as if she deliberately prevented the two little princes from seeing Chunjia!

She immediately fell silent.

Is it possible that these two little princes will go ashore later and go to see Chunjia first instead of the queen, how much advantage can they take?

The emperor is not stupid. Doesn't he know that the tenth prince and the twelve princes are not familiar with him now?

Besides, he wanted to have these two children because they were legitimate sons, not because they were filial and lovable!

"Okay, okay, don't be self-willed, don't look at the concubine's pregnancy, you follow her, how tired is she?" Empress Dowager Qu sighed, after all, these two children are her own grandchildren, and besides, she Chunjia, in front of people, always shows people with a gentle and almost cowardly attitude, so naturally she will not speak harshly like Queen Mother Yuan at this moment, coaxing softly, "Be obedient, go on board with the imperial grandmothers, and see you later Father, he will send you to see your mother, huh?"

Hearing this, the younger Twelfth Prince hesitated for a moment, and took a few steps forward.

Empress Dowager Qu took advantage of the situation and hugged him.

As a result, the tenth prince rolled his eyes, turned around suddenly and ran away, and hid behind Yunfenghuang, imitating the seventh prince, grabbing the hem of Yunfenghuang's skirt and sticking out his tongue at the two empress dowagers to make a face: "I'm not No! I want to go back to the queen mother with the imperial concubine!"

The two empress dowagers were concerned about Chunjia, and they didn't have the time to talk to the two children, Mushroom. The time spent waiting for such a few words had exhausted their patience. Seeing this, the empress dowager Yuan turned around and ordered to row the boat.

Empress Dowager Qu frowned, and said: "The noble concubine is looking after Dian Xiaoshi."

In this situation, although Yun Fenghuang was not very happy, he could only say: "Yes, I will definitely take good care of the two princes."

Watching Bianzhou go away, she looked down at the Tenth Prince.

At this time, the prince let go of her skirt and stepped back cautiously.

She couldn't help being a little amused, and said, "Your Highness has admitted to giving birth again now?"

The tenth prince rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "My concubine, when can we go see the queen?"

"It should be fine in a while." Yun Fenghuang said, "There are not many intact ships at the moment, just wait for them to tidy up."

Yesterday they came to the island in three batches, and it is said that there are at least three boats in good condition.

But in fact, after everyone arrived, two more ships were damaged.

This is to worry that people will panic in the dark night, so that no one will take advantage of the situation and steal the boat and run away.

The guard who came to report earlier was in a small boat that could only accommodate one or two people. It was used by the palace people when cleaning the Taiye Pond, and they would not let the nobles take it. The weather is calm, and this kind of small boat is also in danger of accidentally capsizing.

Not to mention now that Yun Fenghuang is pregnant and has two princes by her side.

If the two empress dowagers were not in a hurry to see Chunjia, they would rush to repair the boat to pick her up.

As for the moment, anyway, Yun Fenghuang was not in a hurry, so he held the hands of the two princes: "Let's go back to the house and wait, someone will call us when the boat arrives later."

As a result, the wait was half a day.

After all, the two princes were young, although they hadn't had much contact with each other, and there was no one else around at the moment, they were a little strange and shy at first, but they soon got together.

They fought and fought, and fell asleep after a while when they were tired, but there was nothing wrong with them.

But Yun Fenghuang began to feel restless: "According to the time, even if the boat sent the two empress dowagers to the Taichu Palace just now, the twelve princes couldn't help crying on the way, and then sent him to the vicinity of Yanfu Palace alone. It’s enough to come to Little Penglai, right? Why haven’t you disappeared yet?”

Will there be fish that slipped through the net from the rebels and sneaked into the palace?

Or is Chun Jia actually injured or even in a bad condition?

If it's the former, it's fine, anyway, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care what happened to those three, and even secretly laughs.

If the latter...

That's a lot of fun!

I also want to know, if Chunjia is not well right now, what is the most important thing? Reserve!

He would definitely not set up the prince of Xuanqing Palace, after all, even if he hastily set up a heir, what would King Qin do at the age of six? I'm afraid I still consider establishing a son-in-law.

But he should also try to leave a glimmer of life for her, to avoid Concubine Min Gui being sent down to accompany him after he left.

But at such an urgent time, Yun Fenghuang is not here, whether it is the Empress Dowager Yuan or the Empress, as long as she is decisive, she can be trapped on the island and ignored. After leaving her, she said to the outside world that Concubine Min Gui was grateful for the emperor's grace and voluntarily died with the emperor Daxing, this? ? ?

When Yun Fenghuang thought of this place, he couldn't stay here any longer, so he went outside alone under the pretext of going out to get some fresh air, staring at the vast lake, thinking if this is the case... what should we do?

Speaking of which, it was all a miscarriage, otherwise, would an isolated island be able to trap her? She was able to swim to Xiao Daiyu back then, but now if she is not pregnant and a month old, she can also swim to Taichu Palace!

What should I do... She walked to the revetment and stopped, thinking about it.

Just as he was hesitating whether to take a gamble, he jumped into the lake and rushed to Taichu Palace, when he saw a boat appearing in his sight, sailing towards Xiao Penglai like flying with oars.

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he suspended his heart again.

If Chunjia made a mistake, the people who came here at this moment may not be with good intentions.

After a while, an imperial attendant whom Yun Fenghuang had seen hurriedly landed on the island, and solemnly invited her and the two princes to go to Taichu Palace.

"Is Your Majesty well?" Seeing his expression, Yun Fenghuang felt a "thump" in his heart, he didn't care to go back to the house to call the two children, and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that Your Majesty is safe and sound. He shot and killed several rebels with his own hands at that time, which greatly boosted the morale of the army!" The waiter was able to serve in front of the imperial court, so he would naturally have to observe his words, and hurriedly said, "Nowadays, the government and the public are all boasting. Your Majesty is brave!"

Paused, looked around, and whispered, "Something happened just now, but it wasn't Your Majesty, it was... the boat that the two Empress Dowagers and the Twelve Princes were on capsized halfway! Now the entire Imperial Hospital is surrounded Healing!"
