In the Chengyu Palace, there is still the vast palace garden.

There were no corpses or bloodstains, everything had been cleaned up, as if the turmoil not long ago had never happened.

Only the empty and silent courtyard, the desolate and deserted hall, and the hurried servants still vaguely reminded the Tang Dynasty of the shock.

Zhou Jun brought Yin Yu to the palace. As soon as he walked into the back garden, he saw Yang Yuhuan leading a group of palace maids, admiring the snowy scenery in the garden.

After discovering Zhou Jun and his wife, Yang Yuhuan was surprised and quickly sent a maid to inform the inner palace. He came up to greet them and said with a smile: "In a few days, it will be the Lantern Festival. I am still thinking about how to reunite.

, it’s rare that you are willing to come and visit.”

Yin Yu was wrapped in fur, her eyes were a little red, and her body was trembling slightly. She saluted Yang Yuhuan and whispered: "Empress."

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Zhou Jun and said to Yin Yu in a warm voice: "It's cold and windy, let's go inside and talk."

The group entered the side hall, and the maids lit warm incense and turned on the stove outside the house, which increased the heat flowing into the water channel in the house.

Yin Yu sat on the side seat and looked at Yang Yuhuan beside him, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Yang Yuhuan said warmly: "Your Majesty's health has improved these days and he can already walk on the ground."

Yin Yu looked happy and was about to ask.

A voice came from outside the door: "Nanny is here?"

Not long after, Li Longji, supported by Gao Lishi, entered the side hall and looked over with a smile.

Zhou Jun looked at the smiling Li Longji, stood up slowly, and took Yin Yu to bow to the emperor.

Li Longji smiled, sat next to Yang Yuhuan, and said, "No courtesy, please get up and sit down."

Zhou Jun stood up from the ground and looked at Li Longji.

The emperor's expression and movements showed no trace of his rage or serious illness that night. Now, except for some difficulty in moving, he is no different from ordinary people.

However, Zhou Jun knew in his heart that Li Longji, who was nearly seventy years old, had gone through countless storms in the palace and had a tough mind. The more adversity he faced, the more calm he became. When dealing with such a person, you must not take it lightly, otherwise you will be ruined.

Blunder.

When Zhou Jun was looking at Li Longji, the latter was also looking at him.

Yin Yu said at this time: "Seeing that my father is in good health, my daughter is relieved."

Li Longji smiled and said: "My body is not that easy to fall down. In this life, I must see the Tang Dynasty is stable, so I can close my eyes with peace of mind."

Zhou Jun looked calm when he heard this.

Yin Yu didn't know the deeper meaning, thinking that Li Longji was just comforting himself. Most of the depression in his heart disappeared, and he nodded and said: "Father, with the blessing of God, he will definitely be free from illness and disaster."

Li Longji smiled and said to Yin Yu again: "Zhou Lang is the pillar of the country. You must put away your temper and take good care of your family on weekdays. Don't harm the relationship between husband and wife."

Yin Yu nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, what Ni Niang has saved... is just a hardship for Erlang. He will have to go to Hebei to fight next month. It's cold and freezing, and no one in the army can take care of his daily life."

Hearing Yin Yu say that Zhou Jun will go to Hebei next month, Li Longji was stunned and narrowed his eyes slightly, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

Zhou Jun heard this and said to Li Longji: "Guo Ziyi's attack on the city was unsuccessful, Li Guangbi was seriously injured by a stray arrow, and the Tang army besieged Fan Yang for a long time without making any progress. What's more, Luoyang sent tens of thousands of reinforcements to the north to help Fan Yang.

In the Tang Dynasty, life hangs on a thread. If you win, the world will be stable; if you lose, the country will be ruined."

Li Longji was shocked when he heard this.

Yang Yuhuan watched from the side and said to Yin Yu: "Mother, I made several sets of clothes for Xiaoer in the palace. Come and have a look with me."

Yin Yu glanced at Zhou Jun beside him, stood up, followed Yang Yuhuan, and left the side hall.

In the waiting room, only Li Longji and Zhou Jun were left.

Li Longji put away his smile, stared into Zhou Jun's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Although I have asked before, I still have to ask again now, what is Zhou Jun's intention?"

Zhou Jun looked at Li Longji and said calmly: "The world will be peaceful and peaceful, and the world will be stable."

Li Longji: "Tsui Lang is the most powerful minister and commands the three armies. Don't you want to make further progress?"

Zhou Jun did not answer this question directly, but deliberately asked: "Back then, Wang Zhongsi unified the soldiers of the four towns and was crowned king. Did he ever think of replacing His Majesty?"

Li Longji was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he said quietly: "Back then, I was the one who betrayed my loyal heir."

Zhou Jun: "It has been nearly three years since An Lushan rebelled. Not only has the world's power not stabilized at all, but it has intensified, and there is a hint of rebellion. Don't you think about why the Tang Dynasty fell to this level?

Is it like this now?"

Li Longji: "It was my carelessness in employing people that led to the collapse of the country. I can issue an imperial edict to express my fault to the world. As long as Zhou Lang is willing to hand over his military power, I can also write an imperial edict to make the Zhou family enjoy the king forever.

Nobles, fiefdoms, family shadows for generations, the emperor's royal family, cannot be killed..."

Zhou Jun stood up and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, instead of thinking about fighting for power, it is better to think more about the people of the world and where they should go from here. Then Li Heng believed the slander and did not even hesitate to kill his own son. In this way

How can a person like you win the trust of the world? Also, what His Majesty just said is partly true and partly false. We both know in our hearts, so why bother to pretend?"

Li Longji was snatched away by Zhou Jun. His face turned red and blue, and his eyes showed resentment.

At this time, Yang Yuhuan took Yin Yu back to the side hall.

Yin Yu held the new clothes in her hands, with a smile on her face, and said to Li Longji: "Father, Madam Yuhuan is very clever, look at it."

Li Longji immediately changed his expression. There was no trace of resentment in his expression anymore, and he said with a smile: "As long as my mother likes it."

Next, Yang Yuhuan and Yin Yu sat down again and chatted.

On the surface, Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan, Zhou Jun and Yin Yu, a family of four, are laughing and talking, and they are all in a happy mood.

But only by being in it can you find that from beginning to end, there is mystery in the words between the monarch and his ministers.

At the end of the visit, Zhou Jun and Yin Yu bowed to Li Longji again, and then left the side hall together.

Compared to when she came here, Yin Yu was in a much better mood, and even her face looked much brighter.

Yang Yuhuan put on her fur robe and said that she was going to send Princess Wanchun and her husband to the palace gate.

Li Longji looked at Zhou Jun and Yin Yu's leaving figures, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He stretched out his hand to summon Gao Lishi, whispered a few instructions, and then got up and returned to the palace.

When Yang Yuhuan came to the palace gate, he saw a forest of military guards outside the palace from a distance, but they surrounded the entire Chengyu Palace.

After stopping for a few steps, Yang Yuhuan gently pulled Yin Yu, then smiled at Zhou Jun and said, "I have a few words for daughters to say to the princess."

Zhou Jun glanced at Yang Yuhuan, nodded, and left the palace gate first.

Yang Yuhuan pulled Yin Yu aside: "A woman born in a palace is no different from ordinary people. Every move involves a lot, and if you are not careful, it will lead to disaster. Not to mention the distance, I am standing in front of you.

A prime example.”

Yin Yu was puzzled: "Ms. Yuhuan, what do you mean by this?"

Yang Yuhuan touched Yin Yu's hair and said softly: "Today, it is no longer the past. You can't do whatever you want. As a woman, my mother must not try to get involved in this whirlpool of power... Take care of yourself.

Taking Xiao'er and raising him up is the right way."

Hearing this, Yin Yu wanted to ask again, but Yang Yuhuan had already pulled away.
