It wasn't until night that Zhu Yun was willing to see anyone.
In the past half day, I don't know what kind of fierce ideological struggle Zhu Yun went through. There was no trace of it on his face, and he was still as calm and gentle as usual.
Brother Dong, Sister Tang, Brother Dong, and three other people gathered around the bed, greeting their father with greetings.
Zhu Yun looked at his three children with gentle eyes.
After Dong Ge'er started studying, he made rapid progress. At this time, he had lost some of his childishness. Zhu Yun opened his mouth to ask about his homework, and Dong Ge'er replied confidently: "Today, the master praised me again and said that I
He is even smarter than his father when he was young."
Yuan Min heard it funny.
When Zhu Yun was a child, he had outstanding talent and unparalleled intelligence. Brother Dong was also extremely talented. However, saying that he was even smarter than Zhu Yun when he was young was obviously the Taifu's intention to make Brother Dong happy.
Zhu Yun also laughed: "You said that, I have to give you a good test."
Sister Tang said coquettishly: "Father, you have to test me too."
Zhu Yun loved his daughter very much and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will take the test for you two siblings together."
Brother Liang was still young and was not interested in things like exams and homework. He crawled onto the bed and snuggled next to his father. Yuan Min sat beside the bed with a smile on his face.
The children stayed for an hour, and then they were tired before they left.
The couple finally got to be alone.
Yuan Min asked softly: "What did my father say to you when he came to the palace today? Why are you so angry?"
Zhu Yun smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law was very worried about Shen You going to the border as an errand. He told me that he wanted to make the Yuan family secretly trip up Shen You. After hearing this, I felt angry and argued with my father-in-law. So.
Bad Mood."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Min frowned tightly: "It is my father's wish to let Shen You go to the border army. If my father takes action against Shen You, he will definitely anger my father."
"Yes!" Zhu Yun sighed: "I warned my father-in-law with good intentions, I just hope that he will listen."
Yuan Min also sighed: "My father is too utilitarian. Fortunately, my grandfather, eldest uncle and second uncle are still here, so it is not my father's turn to make the decision in the Yuan family."
The couple sighed for a while before washing and settling down.
After Yuan Min fell asleep, Zhu Yun slowly opened his eyes with his eyes closed.
He was full of thoughts and his eyes were heavy. After a long time, he sighed silently and closed his eyes again.
…
Early the next morning, Queen Yuan came.
Since Zhu Yun returned to the palace to recuperate from his injuries, Queen Yuan would come early every day to stay with her son for most of the day or even the whole day.
After Zhu Yun drank the medicine, he once again asked the guards to help him move around.
Empress Yuan stayed with her nervously, reminding her from time to time: "Go slower, don't fall."
A passionate love for my son.
Zhu Yun occasionally raised his head to look at Empress Yuan. Seeing his mother with tender eyes, Zhu Yun felt sour and sad. But such complicated and unspeakable thoughts must not be revealed.
Empress Yuan was extremely well protected by those around her. The biggest worry in her life was thinking about how to pass the time when she was too busy during the day. Now that she is with her son every day, even this worry is gone.
When they were taking a rest after walking around, Empress Yuan took a handkerchief and wiped Zhu Yun's sweat. Zhu Yun smiled helplessly and said: "Mother, my right hand is injured, but my left hand is fine. Just wipe the sweat yourself."
Empress Yuan coaxed her like a child: "It will be fine soon."
Zhu Yun couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to shut up.
"Yun'er," Queen Yuan looked at Zhu Yun and asked a little strangely: "Do you have anything on your mind? Why do I feel that you are a little uneasy today? Also, there are some green shadows under your eyes. Could it be that you were absent last night?"
Did you sleep well?"
Zhu Yun smiled without changing his expression: "I stay in the East Palace every day, and I am really depressed. I always want to get better soon, go to the court to listen to the government, and share my father's worries."
Empress Yuan sighed distressedly: "You haven't recovered well yet, so don't worry about the government affairs all the time. There are so many ministers in the court, why are you worried that no one will share your father's worries? Don't think too much about anything, just take good care of yourself.
"
Zhu Yun nodded obediently.
…
Two more days passed.
Emperor Qing'an had some free time and went to the East Palace to see his son.
While the imperial doctor was changing Zhu Yun's dressing, Emperor Qing'an did not say anything and stood quietly aside.
Zhu Yun took advantage of this moment to quietly adjust his mood. After the medicine was replaced and the imperial physician retired, Zhu Yun expressed his usual expression to greet Emperor Qing'an.
Emperor Qing'an was never a kind father. Even if he cared and felt pity in his heart, he still had a cold and solemn look on his face: "How have you been feeling these days?"
Zhu Yun replied: "Thank you very much, Father, for your concern. My son's injury is getting better day by day, and he can walk for a while today."
Emperor Qing'an hummed.
Emperor Qing'an did not make a sound, and Zhu Yun did not take the initiative to speak as usual. The father and son fell into a rare silence. There seemed to be an uneasy atmosphere flowing in the air.
Emperor Qing'an frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Yun deeply: "A few days ago, your father-in-law came into the East Palace. What did he say to you?"
Zhu Yun looked calm: "My father-in-law was concerned about his son's injury and came to the East Palace to visit him, but he didn't say anything."
Probably sensing that his attitude was too cold, Zhu Yun slowed down his voice: "My father-in-law was a little dissatisfied with Shen You's decision to go to the border army to command the cavalry battalion, and he complained a little. I gave him a few words of relief."
Emperor Qing'an's frown relaxed, and he snorted lightly: "He is just too selfish. The border troops are the army of the imperial court, not the private soldiers of his Yuan family."
"I sent Shen You to train cavalry. He felt that I had reduced the military power of the Yuan family, and he was unhappy. Maybe he would do some small tricks behind his back to make things worse."
Zhu Yun looked at Emperor Qing'an: "My son has already reminded him to beat him. If my father is worried, why not send more people to Shen You?"
Emperor Qing'an said calmly: "No need. I have made an exception by allowing Shen You to take fifty personal guards of the emperor to the border army. If Shen You still cannot gain a foothold in the border army, then I have misjudged the person."
Zhu Yun thought for a while and then said: "It is my father's grace that Shen You and his party are allowed to leave their families and go to the frontier army. I am afraid that General Meng and the Yuan family will have comparisons and dissatisfaction in their hearts."
It is also a common practice in the DPRK and the Central Government for military generals not to bring their families with them when serving abroad. Once a precedent like Shen You's is set, it is inevitable that people's hearts will change. As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity but worry about inequality.
Emperor Qing'an had obviously thought about this issue, and said: "I have discussed this matter with all the ministers, and after a while, I will issue an imperial edict. From now on, military generals who are appointed abroad can bring their families with them to their posts. To appease the generals,
Secondly, it can also show the benevolence of the court."
Zhu Yun nodded: "Father's act of kindness will surely make all the generals return to their hearts."
The father and son chatted for a while, and then Emperor Qing'an got up and returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhu Yun watched the figure of Emperor Qing'an go away, extremely complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally disappeared from his eyes.
