Jun Jiuling

Chapter 773 Dare to Speak

The forbidden army in the palace has returned, but the atmosphere in the palace is still a bit noisy and flustered.

Groups of eunuchs are removing firewood around the Empress Dowager's Hall.

Although his expression was still panicked, it was much better than the previous despair. This was probably because of the line of brave soldiers standing in front of the hall except for the imperial guards.

These soldiers were only wearing military robes, their weapons were unloaded, and their stature was not as tall as that of the imperial guards, but they stood upright and majestic, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

This is the Qingshan Army that broke the siege of the capital.

When they arrived, tens of thousands of Jin soldiers fled upon hearing the news.

"Why go after it?"

The empress dowager's displeased voice came from the hall.

The concubines who were originally locked here in the hall have been dispersed, and the empress dowager sitting on the chair is pale, with the exhaustion of the rest of her life, but her spirit seems to be fine.

"At this time, so many Qingshan troops are still being sent to pursue them. Isn't the capital's defense empty again?" said the Queen Mother, a little annoyed, because the official's previous joy of bringing a team of Qingshan troops to guard the imperial city faded away. "What if the golden man comes back again?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the defense of the capital has been arranged. The soldiers and horses of Renji Mansion are here, and the garrisons of several other mansions have also rushed over." An old official said.

The Empress Dowager looked at him with dissatisfaction, and arranged the arrangements. In the past, they whitewashed the peace and said that the arrangements were made. As a result, the Jinren almost broke the city.

"Where's Ning Yan?" she asked.

This time the capital was saved because Ning Yan stood up immediately to stabilize the people and unite the army. Of course, Miss Jun led the family members of the Qingshan Army to consolidate the city defense.

But now that everything was settled, the officials went to the palace to report back, but neither Ning Yan nor Miss Jun came.

"Mother, Ning Yan said that it is inconvenient for him to enter the palace now that he has no official, job or edict." He said, with a firm expression and a bit of approval.

This is the backbone of civil servants, and it is not for these women to humiliate and blame at will if they do something or not.

The queen mother could see what he meant, and felt even more ashamed.

She came from a humble background, without the help of an effective family, and in order to make the emperor a good name, the empress was also from a small family.

In the eyes of these ministers, she and the emperor are orphans and widows who have no foundation in power and no help from relatives.

That's why she always asked the emperor to be diligent and benevolent. As long as an emperor who guards the country can do this, he can become a wise emperor trusted by the ministers. In the end...this trash!

"Ai's family just wants to ask about the defense of the city this time. As a party involved, he can come in without any official position." The Queen Mother said patiently, "There is also that Miss Jun, who will be rewarded based on merit. "

The courtier was silent for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you said you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." He raised his head, "Where is Your Majesty now?"

Rewarding meritorious deeds must be done by the emperor.

There is nothing I can do if I don't want to hear this question again.

The Empress Dowager's face turned ugly again, and she clenched her hands tightly in front of her.

She couldn't take the initiative to say that she didn't know the emperor's whereabouts, or she would tell the world that the emperor left her and ran away, abandoned his courtiers and abandoned his biological mother. This kind of person who has no loyalty and filial piety is considered a wise king in the eyes of the world.

The image of a loyal, honest and benevolent lord that he had worked so hard to create for him since he was a child is gone.

Although it is nothing if he is gone, he is still the emperor, but I am afraid that the courtiers who despised him will despise him even more in the future.

Thinking of this, the queen mother was very angry, and what was even more annoying was that this trash treated her like this, and she still wanted to defend him.

"Your Majesty was taken away by Aijia." She said, "The Jin people besieged the city, Aijia can't let what happened to Emperor Renxiao happen again."

She emphasized the word "let people take it away", indicating that this was not what the emperor meant, and the emperor was helplessly forced.

The old minister bowed his head and answered yes.

"Now that the siege of the capital has been lifted, I wonder where His Majesty is?" He said, "Your Majesty can go and meet you."

God knows where he is.

The Queen Mother clenched her hands on her knees.

"Don't worry, there are tens of thousands of golden soldiers around the capital after all, let's wait until it's completely safe." She said.

The courtiers did not respond.

"It's because it's not safe, so please let me know where it is, so I can send troops to guard it." He insisted.

This courtier really dared to speak, endlessly.

The empress dowager frowned and was about to get angry when the eunuch's report came from outside the palace.

"Ma'am, Eunuch Yuan is back."

Yuan Bao!

This treacherous! The emperor took him away without taking himself, so he knew that these eunuchs who grew up with the emperor had no good things.

Hatred flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.

When he comes back this time, he will never be allowed to go out alive again.

"Ma'am."

Yuan Bao quickly stepped into the hall, and knelt down on the ground crying as soon as he entered the door.

"Hurry up and save Your Majesty."

The queen mother was startled and stood up.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" she asked anxiously.

Although she resented this son, he was a son after all.

The courtiers on the side were also taken aback.

Yuan Bao looked up with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty punished himself with the emperor's mausoleum. He couldn't hold on anymore." He cried, "The servants really dare not hide the truth."

After hearing this, the queen mother sat back.

Why would you die if you don't eat or drink? People who can run away before the golden man comes over, would they be willing to seek death by themselves?

Self-punishment and imperial mausoleum.

It's a shame he dared to speak!

But although this excuse is very embarrassing, it is barely a reason.

The Queen Mother hated it.

"Why did he punish himself?" She said, "It was the Ai family who sent him to the imperial mausoleum. Is he trying to say that the Ai family should punish themselves?"

What Master Ning said is true, the queen mother must have taken the emperor's departure on her own shoulders.

That would make things easier.

Yuan Bao was very happy in his heart, and the tears on his face were even more joyful.

"Your Majesty, that's not what your Majesty meant." He kowtowed and said, "The Jin people ravage the suffering of the common people. Your Majesty thinks that you are burdened by your ancestors, and that you are a burden to the Li Shu. You feel sorry for yourself."

The Queen Mother sneered inwardly.

"This is indeed his crime." She said bitterly, "Just because it is his crime, he should learn from the pain and be diligent in government affairs, and get back today's shame. What is life or death?"

Yuan Bao bowed his head and sobbed, not daring to speak any more.

Master Ning Xiao said what should be said, and the rest just listened and didn't say anything.

"It turns out that Your Majesty is in the Emperor's Mausoleum." The courtier listened and said clearly, with a complicated expression, but in the end he didn't say anything. something happened..."

The Queen Mother snorted.

"Then go get him back," she said.

The courtier responded yes.

The news that the emperor was in the imperial mausoleum soon spread.

"It turns out that the emperor ran to the imperial mausoleum to hide."

"It doesn't seem to mean hiding, but to punish sins and think about mistakes."

"Is there such a punishment for the crime? I think it's better to meet the enemy like the virtuous king Huai Wang."

"No, His Majesty did not go there himself, but was sent by the Empress Dowager.

The people on the street also talked a lot, but the emperor didn't come back immediately. Several ministers went to persuade the emperor to return, and then a large number of courtiers rushed to persuade him, but the emperor still refused to show up, and only sent a sin It has been edicted.

Looking at the sent out Edict of Sin, the courtiers looked complicated.

"If this is announced to the world, His Majesty's face will not be very good." A courtier whispered.

That is to admit in front of the people of the world that he does not understand the mistakes of the government. For an emperor, the son of heaven, admitting that he has made mistakes is very detrimental to the prestige of the emperor.

"If not?" Another courtier smiled wryly, "If you don't offend yourself, will you look better?"

Rather than being pointed and suspected by the people and fleeing from the city, it is better to issue a criminal edict. Although it hurts the prestige of the emperor, but the prestige of the emperor has been hurt now, it is better to take the initiative to capture and appease the hearts of the people.

The courtiers guarding outside the imperial mausoleum discussed and agreed, and declared the crime to the world.

"First, the crime has been ordered, and when you return to the court, you will reward the meritorious ministers, and reform all kinds of bad governance to make people happy."

Ning Yunzhao said.

"In this way, by God's will, His Majesty can also become more powerful."

The emperor, who was ashamed and displeased because he had written an imperial edict, nodded when he heard the words.

"The top priority is to go back to court first," he said.

So what if the crime has already been ordered?

People are forgetful, and it won't be long before anyone mentions it.

If someone has a good memory and insists on mentioning it, let him shut up forever.

As long as he is still the emperor, who can do anything to him?

"Then I will go back when they beg me again." The emperor stood up and said.

It is extremely cold and uncomfortable to live in this emperor's mausoleum. Standing at the door, one can see the mausoleum of the former prince at a glance.

"Your Majesty is wise." Ning Yunzhao said, and raised his head again, "Your Majesty, why don't you reward the meritorious officials here before returning."

The emperor frowned.

"Reward now?" he asked.

"Now the capital is not stable yet. Tens of thousands of golden soldiers are fleeing on Jingdong Road, and the officers and soldiers are facing the siege." Ning Yunzhao said, "At this time, rewarding those who have made meritorious deeds in defending the city can not only appease the hearts of the people, but also boost their morale."

The emperor nodded.

"Okay." He said, "Call Ningyan Shanyang County Lord to have an audience."

.........

.........

"What do you want to do?"

After Ning Yunzhao went outside to convey the emperor's will to the waiting ministers, when he came back, he met Lu Yunqi standing in the corridor. Instead of being silent as usual, he asked actively.

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"Actually, it's just selfishness." He lowered his voice and said, "For my uncle, for her, to rectify his name as soon as possible."

Is that so?

Lu Yunqi did not speak again.

Is she coming soon?

She has only been here once.

This is not a happy place for her.

Lu Yunqi's eyes fell on the front, and a mausoleum could be seen in the distance.

The news that the emperor was going to summon Miss Ning Yanjun and other heroes who defended the city quickly spread throughout the city. As Ning Yunzhao said, the public's opinion of the emperor has become better.

After all, that is the emperor, the son of heaven.

The atmosphere in Jiulingtang was also somewhat joyous.

Mainly Liu Er and Chen Qi's joy.

"Then our lady will get a princess this time, right?" Liu Er said.

Princess?

Miss Jun looked at her and smiled but did not speak.

 …

.........

After all, this side of the imperial mausoleum is not the court hall. After Ning Yan and Miss Jun came over, they stood outside like other officials waiting.

The emperor hadn't agreed to return to the court yet, so he didn't see them. He only asked a eunuch to express his praise for what they had done. He didn't thank the emperor for his kindness.

"The courtiers don't want these rewards," she said.

The officials present, including Ning Yan, were a little surprised.

Is this asking for a reward? Doing so seems a bit arrogant and domineering.

But this time she did a great job, and she was able to ask for something she wanted.

The courtiers looked complicated for a moment, and no one spoke to reprimand.

This accident surprised the eunuch too.

"Then what does Miss Jun want?" He frowned.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"I beg your Majesty to help the orthodox." She said, "Let King Huai be the crown prince."

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence all around, and immediately there were countless gasping voices.

All eyes were on this woman.

What is she saying?

What is she saying?

....
