At that moment, not only Emperor Ye Gong, but also the whole court could not help but glance at it quietly from the corner of their eyes, wondering why Jiao Zijian, who had been hiding all this time, suddenly stood up.
Does he have a book to play?
What can he do?
What important things could he have at his disposal?
This was the doubt of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Ye Gong did not forget Jiao Zijian. There were not many people in the Jiao family now, so he was still patient and did not give Jiao Zijian a look.
The reason why he doesn't like the Jiao family is because the Jiao family are too creative and sometimes so smart that it makes people feel too annoying.
They are all very courageous and tough-minded, and they always contradict him on some things. Even though they are right in many cases, they just don't feel comfortable to listen to.
He always has a feeling that after the world is peaceful and the Jiao family is powerful, he will feel that the world was brought down by the Jiao family, and they will covet his position.
Even if the Jiao family does not seize power, the child born to the Jiao family will definitely have the support of the Jiao family. When the time comes, the Jiao family will control his empire, and he is a bit isolated.
Fortunately, most of them were dead. Except for these few useless members of the Jiao family, it turned out that those who were either good at literature or martial arts put a lot of pressure on him.
He also didn't want to face Jiao Jingzhu. Every time he faced Jiao Jingzhu, he would think of the vow he made when he was young.
At that time, he was young and vigorous, and Jiao Jingzhu was beautiful and intelligent, which really made him like her very much.
He impulsively made a vow that he would only be with her for the rest of his life, and also said that if he fell in love with another girl, he would be struck by lightning and everything would not go as he wished.
Later, he regretted this oath.
He and Jiao Jingzhu generally spend less time together and more apart, but they also have two children.
In addition, Jiao Jingzhu had several brothers. At that time, they were very dissatisfied with the increasing number of beauties around him. They would occasionally remind Jiao Jingzhu that they were waiting for him, which made him feel like a puppet of the Jiao family.
Every time he faced Jiao Jingzhu and thought of the beauty beside him, even if she didn't say anything, he was still a little afraid of that oath.
Now that Jiao Jingzhu died on the way back, the huge stone of oath that was holding him down was finally loosened from his body.
He is the emperor and is in charge of the world. His first wife is gone, so he can't be left without anyone by his side, right?
Ye Gong came back to his senses and his eyes fell on Jiao Zijian below: "What does Jiao Qing want to report?"
After hearing Ye Gong's words, Jiao Zijian said loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the eldest prince has returned safely and is now staying at the minister's residence."
The faces of Manchao Civil and Military, who were initially indifferent, looked dull for a while, and then their eyes were incredulous, and they couldn't help but look at Jiao Zijian's position.
what did he say?
His Royal Highness the eldest prince has returned safely?
Some courtiers were communicating in low voices, and they all felt that this incident was a bit strange. After so many years, His Highness the First Prince is back?
They couldn't believe it, but they knew that Jiao Zijian would not lie here. If they didn't confirm that the man was really the eldest prince, they would not dare to report it.
Ye Gong was also stunned for a moment and blurted out: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, His Highness the First Prince has returned safely." Jiao Zijian's voice was slightly louder than before, and the whole court could hear him clearly.
Ye Gong was in a trance, but quickly came to his senses, his voice trembling slightly: "Seriously?"
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty." Jiao Zijian bowed his waist, but his momentum was strong. He did not hold a high position here, so he felt a little happy when he felt the reaction of the court.
He also lightly glanced at Chen Yuantao, who was standing in the front row. The other person's shocked expression didn't even have time to put away.
Now that His Highness has returned, the second prince wants to be the crown prince? What a wonderful idea!
Even though Ye Gong didn't want to believe it, and those who didn't expect His Highness the Prince's return didn't want to believe it, the fact was that His Highness the Prince escaped death and came back.
In his heart, Ye Gong did not welcome his eldest son back, and he was not in a good mood.
But he still needs to show enough respect to prevent some people from making a fuss about it, and he also needs to show that he pays enough attention to it.
If it was spread that he had treated his eldest son badly, someone would definitely jump out and say that he did not remember the kindness of the Jiao family.
The reason why the two or three people of the Jiao family were not reused was because they were too young and did not have much meritorious service.
In order to avoid being criticized, he posthumously granted titles to all those who had sacrificed their lives in the Jiao family. They were all of high rank, and those who had descendants were rewarded as appropriate.
