Mu Zhaojun took the letter from Yuan Yun, and Zhao Huan came over to read it together. Both couples were a little surprised.
They thought that Yuan Yun didn't know about Zhao Cheng, and they didn't intend to tell her. After all, Yuan Yun was already six months pregnant, and they were afraid that she would be stimulated and hurt the fetal air.
In the hearts of Mu Zhaojun and Zhao Huan, this third generation who is about to be born is actually the most important.
Unexpectedly, Cai Qiong not only sent a letter to Zhao Huan, but also sent a letter to Yuan Yun.
"Yun'er..."
Yuan Yun said calmly: "Mom, there is no need to explain. I know you are doing it for my own good. The most important thing now is to rescue Acheng. There is no need to say anything else."
The corners of Mu Zhaojun's eyes were moist, and he hugged Yuan Yun gently.
Lian Zhongyi glanced at Zhao Huan, walked over and said, "Since the eldest princess already knows about this matter, I suggest that the eldest princess send a private message to your majesty, asking for your help."
In terms of emotion and reason, Lian Zhongyi's proposal is the best.
Zhao Huan asked: "Yun'er, is that okay?"
"A Cheng is my husband, there is nothing I can do to save him." Yuan Yun stretched out her hand, and A Tao quickly handed over a letter.
"I have already written the letter. Please read it." Yuan Yun handed the letter to Zhao Huan.
"Has it been written?" Zhao Huan and Mu Zhaojun looked at each other, took the letter and read it.
"Okay... okay..." Zhao Huan's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and he murmured: "I don't want my child to be born without a father... Yun'er, you have your heart."
Yuan Yun said: "I speak from the bottom of my heart. If my brother really cares about me, he will not refuse."
Zhao Huan nodded and suddenly shouted: "Peach branch!"
"Father!" Yang Taozhi walked up to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan handed the letter into Yang Taozhi's hand and said, "Go and deliver this letter without delay. You know who to give it to."
"Understood." Yang Taozhi didn't say much, turned around and left.
Yuan Yun glanced at Zhao Huan suspiciously.
Zhao Huan said: "Taozhi is very skilled in martial arts and fast. It is most reliable for her to deliver the message."
Yuan Yun asked: "Who did Sister Taozhi give the letter to?"
"I have been an official in Changsui for many years. Although I have retired, I still have some old friends."
Zhao Huan glanced at Yuan Yun's belly and said, "You can safely raise your baby at home. I know you have channels to send messages to His Majesty, but they are definitely not as fast as Taozhi."
Since Zhao Huan didn't want to tell the truth, Yuan Yun didn't ask any more questions. He turned to Mu Zhaojun and said, "Mom, don't worry too much. Acheng has a tough life. I believe he will be fine."
…
Jing Palace.
Since the Star Observation Tower was rebuilt, except for the day when Yuan Xiu came during the day when it was completed, he usually came to see the stars at night.
The sky was gloomy today, and there were piles of dark clouds in the sky, but Yuan Xiu came to the star observation tower and looked at the dark sky.
It seemed like a heavy rain was going to fall at any moment.
"Look at the sky today. It's so close. It seems like it will collapse at any time."
Yuan Xiu raised his head and stared at the dark clouds. Wen Tai, Wei You, Chen Changyun, Minister of War Tie Ge and Minister of Justice He Yin stood behind him.
Hearing this, Wei You quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is a saintly king, the sky will not fall down!"
Chen Changyun echoed: "This day is supported by Your Majesty. Your Majesty must not think wildly and allow evil spirits to take advantage of it!"
He Yin glanced at Wei You and Chen Changyun and sneered at their flattery.
"Are there many people who expect the sky to fall?" Yuan Xiu still looked at the sky and asked, "He Yin, how many people have been arrested in the past few days?"
He Yin said: "Following the last report to His Majesty, nineteen more people have been arrested so far."
"Kill them all." Yuan Xiu said quietly.
He Yin said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are many meritorious officials among these people."
"Kill, kill, I said kill them all, don't you understand?" Yuan Xiu looked at He Yin and said angrily: "These people said that I am useless and incompetent, and they scolded me in the face. Such people have no king and no father.
What are they doing here? It’s because I can’t give birth to a son, and it’s not like they can’t have any descendants, so they’re in a hurry?!”
Wen Tai glanced at He Yin's troubled face and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. He wants to protect your reputation. It would be bad if the indiscriminate killing of meritorious officials is left in the history books. I also hope that your Majesty will be cautious. These people
There are not only meritorious officials inside, but also some relatives of important officials in the court."
Yuan Xiu shouted: "Then they should face me and follow those old guys to cause such nonsense?!"
"Killing is of no use!" He Yin ignored Yuan Xiu's anger and said forcefully: "Our civil servants in Dajing all have backbone. The more you kill, Your Majesty, the more energetic they will be. In fact, they have gained a reputation as a remonstrating minister."
Wei You quickly touched Yuan Xiu's back and said: "Your Majesty, Lord He is right. If killing people works, then after the first batch of people who went to Mu's hometown were killed, these nineteen people will not jump out again.
."
Yuan Xiudao: "Mu Shanyue...if I hadn't thought that he was the teacher of the late emperor and a veteran of the three dynasties, I would have taken advantage of him long ago!"
He Yin said: "Your Majesty! Mr. Mu only urged you to establish a queen and give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible. He did not take any other actions, which is enough to show his loyalty to you!"
"Other actions?" Yuan Xiu took a step closer to He Yin and asked with wide eyes: "What actions can you tell me?"
He Yin kept silent. There were some things that he could bravely say, but there were other things that he couldn't speak even to death.
But everyone in the room knew what He Yin meant.
Mu Shanyue only urged Yuan Xiu to have a child, but did not urge Yuan Xiu to establish a new country because Yuan Xiu might not be able to give birth.
In that case, the situation in the DPRK will really be turbulent.
"Don't make a sad face in front of me, but give me some ideas!"
Yuan Xiu walked up to Wen Tai and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, tell me!"
"I suggest that your Majesty, upon becoming Queen, should first stop the mouths of these ministers before speaking." Wen Tai had already thought of his words.
"Didn't I compromise?" Yuan Xiu asked.
Wen Tai analyzed: "Your Majesty was caught off guard by them this time and had no plan to deal with it. If such a head-on confrontation continues, it will only hurt the vitality of the imperial court. It is better to retreat in order to advance and make plans later."
Yuan Xiu was really tired and was a little tempted by Wen Tai's proposal.
"What about you? What do you think?"
Tie Ge and He Yin looked at each other and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, please stand up."
Chen Changyun cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I second your proposal."
"Okay, okay!" Yuan Xiu walked to the corner of the Star Observation Tower, leaned forward without standing still, and said angrily: "Every day is full of things, I'm almost bored to death! Tiege, Muqiaokou
What do you think of what's going on over there? Zhao Cheng has become a prisoner, and Southern Zhou will definitely use him to blackmail us!"
"This matter..." Tie Ge didn't dare to say any more and swallowed the rest of the words in his mouth.
This matter is so big that I dare not say anything more.
At this moment, a eunuch came up and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Mu wants to see you."
"Look, all the people urging me to have a son came here!" Yuan Xiu hooked his hands and said: "Call him up, I will reassure him!"
After a while, Mu Shanyue came up and bowed down: "I, my lord, Mu Shanyue, kowtow..."
"Okay, don't kneel down!" Yuan Xiu pulled Mu Shanyue up and said, "I'm going to stand as queen, and I'll do it tomorrow! Are you relieved now? If you think it's not enough, why don't I stand up two at once?
Queen?"
"Ah?" Mu Shanyue was a little confused, and said quickly: "Old minister, I congratulate Your Majesty, the country has hope!"
But Mu Shanyue was not as excited as everyone imagined. He handed over a letter and said: "Your Majesty, I am not here to establish a queen. I am here to deliver a letter to the eldest princess."
