All Hail Cousin Brother

Yin Huaixi, who hadn't slept for three days in a row, rubbed his sore forehead and said, "Everything about the enthronement ceremony will be kept simple. What to do will be handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. In the future, don't come and ask me about such trivial matters."

Eunuch Li moved his mouth. How can the enthronement ceremony be such a trivial matter?

All the major events in the court were not as important as this matter.

But Eunuch Zhu, the only one in the palace who could speak to the new emperor, was sent by the new emperor to Xiangping to pick up Princess Shao Yichang to the capital. Even though he knew it was inappropriate, he did not dare to speak out.

Yin Huaixi looked at the pile of papers on the case and his head was heavy. When he saw Eunuch Li coming back again, his face turned dark: "What's wrong? Is it the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of War again this time? After ten years of hard study in the cold window, all the I have read it into the dog's belly, and there are piles of truths, but each of them is not diligent. He does not distinguish between the grains and the dog's shelter. He eats the king's salary and shares the king's worries. Everything must be discussed and decided with me. , what do they do for food?”

Eunuch Li shook his calf and said quickly: "Back to the emperor, it was Eunuch Zhu who sent the news. Princess Chang has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing and will be there soon..."

Before he could say the word "entering the city", the new emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly stood up and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace in a moment.

Eunuch Zhu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after him: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, where are you going? Elder Yu Ge and some other senior ministers are still waiting for you in Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss matters. You..."

When he chased him outside the Qinzheng Palace, he only heard the sound of "drive" and watched helplessly as the new emperor whipped his horse away.

Eunuch Li was so anxious that he stamped his feet and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Here comes someone, follow the emperor quickly. The emperor is leaving the palace, hurry up and escort him..."

Yin Huaixi didn't care. After he rode out of the palace, what kind of drama happened in the palace. All he could think about was "Yu Youyao has entered the capital."

He hadn't seen Yu Youyao for more than a year since we were separated in June last year.

Seeing that it was the twelfth lunar month, everything in the court was becoming more and more complicated. Yu Youyao had not come to Beijing for a long time. The anxiety in his heart became more and more serious, and his murderous intention became more and more serious.

Jingzhao was still under martial law, and the city gates were heavily guarded. Each arrow tower on the city tower was equipped with a large crossbow. As soon as the troops escorting Yu Youyao into Beijing approached the city gate, the crossbows immediately adjusted their direction and aimed at them.

The soldiers guarding outside the city shouted as usual: "Who is it?"

The commander of the Qianjiao Army took the badge: "We, the new emperor's personal guard, the commander of the Qianjiao Army, are going to Xiangping City, Liaodong to welcome Princess Shao Yichang back to the capital on the order of the new emperor. This is the token."

The young general guarding the city took the badge and carefully identified it, and respectfully saluted Yu Youyao in the car: "The martial law in Jingzhao has not been lifted. The general is ordered to guard the gate of Jingzhao. People who come and go must be strictly checked. I have no intention of neglecting the commander." Princess, please forgive me, Princess."

Yu Youyao said in a slow voice: "General, it is your duty to act as ordered. There is no need to say more."

The young general guarding the city shouted: "Open the door and welcome the princess back to the capital."

The soldiers at the city gate gave way one after another. The heavy city gate slowly opened with a "rumbling" sound. The soldiers all knelt down on one knee and said, "Welcome Princess Chang to the capital."

As the car slowly entered the city, Yu Youyao lifted the car curtain and looked at the wide and clean streets and the rows of houses on both sides of the streets. It seemed that they were no different from when she left Jingzhao. It is hard to imagine that more than a month ago, This place has gone through a battle of rise and fall, and changing dynasties.

The capital was set, and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. Heavy troops were stationed along the street, with sentries every five steps, and troops wearing heavy armor patrolled the streets.

Most of the people were hiding at home, and there were not many people walking on the streets.

But Yu Youyao's drive to Beijing still caused a shock in Beijing.

Yin Huaixi prepared the Princess Chang's Mansion for her. After entering Beijing, she would go directly to the Princess Princess' Mansion to be settled, and there was no need to go back to the Yu Mansion.

As the carriage reached the main road of Chang'an Street, Yu Youyao heard bursts of shrill wails. She opened the curtain and looked out, and happened to pass by a long line of prison cars. The sound of wailing was from the prison cars. The prisoners inside sent it out, and some people gathered around, pointing at the prison car.

"You sinner, in this month, the dead people who have seen the sky don't know what time it is..."

"I heard that King Wu Mu was murderous and killed people like crazy. It was previously reported that he massacred the Di tribe..."

"Hush, you dare to say this. You don't want to die. Why do you call me King Wu Mu? You want to call me the new emperor..."

"..."

Yu Youyao frowned, tapped the car wall, and told Yin Shi on the roof: "Go and find out what the rumors are about outside? What happened in Beijing this month."

Earlier, Yin Huaixi's evil reputation of massacring various tribes in Beidi spread, and there were rumors of King Wu Mu's violence in the Zhou Dynasty.

Most of the people in the northern border have been harassed by the Di people for many years, and the hatred between them and the Di people is deep-rooted. This kind of rumor seems ridiculous in the northern border, so she said she doesn't pay much attention to it.

Whether they are violent or not, and whether they are bloodthirsty or not, only the people in the north who have been torn by the war are qualified to speak.

After a while, Yin Shi left and returned.

"After the new emperor entered Beijing, he ransacked all the wealthy families in the capital and put all their wealth into the state treasury. Anyone who resisted was dragged to Caishikou and their heads were displayed to the public. For a month, Caishikou was bloody every day. It flowed into a river, and the blood on the ground has never dried.”

"Yin Huaixi will not kill people for no reason," Yu Youyao felt suffocated and her face turned pale, but she still said decisively: "It must be Yin Huaixi. It was found out that they had colluded with the Liang thieves, and Yin Huaixi copied the evidence of the crime from their home."

No matter who conquered Jingzhao, those who really needed to escape were the Yin family and some people, such as the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, who had been favored by the Zhou emperors for generations. They were inseparable from the rise and fall of the Zhou royal family, as well as the honor and disgrace. They must coexist with the Zhou Dynasty. The dead.

In fact, most of them don't need to escape. No matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they present their wealth as a pledge of surrender, they will be fine.

Anyone who can gain a foothold in Beijing must have a huge family fortune, and have accumulated a large number of contacts and channels. These are what the new emperor values, and they are also the basis for them to regain power.

Yin Shi saw her expression was not good, so she opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath: "Any other news?"

"My subordinates have killed enemies in battle before," Yin Shi hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Too heavy killings on the battlefield will harm the peace of the world after all, and their character will inevitably be affected, and many soldiers will become increasingly violent as a result. , bloodthirsty, as if nothing is wrong and cannot be solved by killing a few people."

For those who have been on the battlefield, killing is such a simple matter.

The knife fell from the hand, and the head fell to the ground.

When a person dies, all difficult problems are solved.
