When discussions began in the streets, the court's decision was also communicated to the emperor.
"The Queen Mother means that when the people are filled with righteous indignation, Your Majesty will come out to reprimand Miss Jun for her inappropriate behavior and give her a little punishment." Yuan Bao said with a smile.
This is very appropriate.
This is not because he is targeting this woman, but because she has offended the public. Does she have the guts to let the Qingshan Army leave and let the Jin people threaten the entire capital's military and civilians?
The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"You're right." He looked at Ning Yunzhao and said, "She is disobedient. Sure enough, everyone knows it, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Ning Yunzhao saluted.
"Your Majesty is wise." He said, "Listen to the words of humble ministers."
The emperor smiled.
"It was you who gave me timely advice," he said.
The emperor trusted Ning Yunzhao more and more, and out of the corner of Yuan Bao's eye, he saw Lu Yunqi beside him.
Lu Yunqi is becoming more and more like a pillar, and no one in this room can remember him.
Ning Yunzhao is a civil servant, and promoting him will not threaten him. On the contrary, civil servants are sharp-tongued and must not be underestimated. Maybe they can work together to get rid of Lu Yunqi.
Thinking of this, Yuan Bao decided to show his kindness.
"Master Ning also said the same thing, saying that His Majesty is orthodox and that Miss Jun's behavior is rebellious and absurd," he said.
The emperor was not surprised that Ning Yan would say this.
These prestigious civil servants are like this. They are annoyingly upright, but because of their uprightness, they are also indispensable in the court.
If this were said to Huang Cheng, the effect would definitely be different.
Speaking of Huang Cheng, the emperor frowned.
"Is there still no news from Mr. Huang?" he asked, looking at Lu Yunqi.
Before Lu Yunqi could speak, Yuan Bao took the lead again.
"Not yet." He said, "The last time I saw Mr. Huang, he went north. I guess it was because the Jin soldiers were dispersed when they entered the country."
The emperor snorted.
"This piece of trash," he said.
He didn't care much about Huang Cheng's life or death. What he cared about was talking to Jin Ren.
It seems that I need to find someone else to talk to Jin Ren.
Of course the most suitable person is...
He looked at Ning Yunzhao.
"Of course I am willing to share your Majesty's worries." Ning Yunzhao said, his figure somewhat upright, "But this is not the right time."
Isn't this the right time?
The most important thing is to get out of the siege quickly and calm down.
Only by calming down can the Qingshan Army's threat to him be eliminated.
"This time, the Jin people must be beaten until they admit defeat, and then it is appropriate for the Jin people to appeal first." Ning Yunzhao said with a calm expression, "Otherwise, it will be difficult to appease the people of the capital."
This time the people in the capital were frightened, and there were many casualties.
There are Jin soldiers and horses entrenched outside, and Miss Jun holding power inside. Now is the time to compete for the hearts and minds of the people.
"Your Majesty, the latest news is that Uncle Qinghe from the North has arrived with his troops." Yuan Bao quickly added, "And it has been reported that all the Jin soldiers from the North have retreated."
This is good news.
The emperor was overjoyed.
"Then there is no need for peace talks first," he said. "First we must lift the siege of the capital."
Let’s talk about Miss Jun’s disobedience.
After walking out of the house, Yuan Bao smiled kindly at Ning Yunzhao.
"Master Ning wants to be a clean slate. I don't think it's appropriate for me to go to peace talks." He said in a low voice.
Especially when talking to the Jinren, they will inevitably be ridiculed by the people afterwards, and they will be scolded even more when they are good and bad. A young and ambitious official like Ning Yunzhao is definitely not willing to be involved in this kind of thing.
He took the initiative to stop this errand for Ning Yunzhao, fully expressing his friendship.
Ning Yunzhao nodded with a smile.
"My father-in-law took the trouble," he said.
With just this sentence, Yuan Bao stopped talking and nodded with a smile. He saw Lu Yunqi out of the corner of his eye.
"Lord Lu, you must ensure the safety of this imperial mausoleum." He coughed slightly, half-smiling, "Nowadays, external troubles are lessened, but internal worries are even worse."
Lu Yunqi glanced at him without saying a word.
Yuan Bao shuddered slightly at his sight, and then became angry again.
What are you still pretending to do? Now and in the future, Lu Yunqi and Jin Yiwei are just gatekeepers in front of the emperor, and sooner or later they will obey Yuan Bao's instructions.
He snorted and turned around.
Lu Yunqi stood next to Ning Yunzhao.
"What's so good about this?" he asked.
This question came out of nowhere, and Ning Yunzhao looked at him.
"A bad name is also a name. As long as it is a name, it is always useful." He said and smiled again, "Master Lu should understand this best."
This is an insinuation that Lu Yunqi is notorious, but is it also this reputation that makes him deeply trusted by the emperor?
Lu Yunqi looked at him with an expression neither happy nor angry.
The two were standing when a eunuch hurried in, looking slightly flustered.
"Eunuch Yuan...Eunuch Yuan..." he shouted urgently.
Yuan Bao came out after hearing the sound and saw him frowning.
"What's the matter? I didn't ask you to stay in the capital," he said.
The eunuch grabbed Yuan Bao's sleeve.
"Father, it's not good, something is not right in the capital." He said with a pale face.
Yuan Bao frowned even more.
"What..." he wanted to ask. Seeing Ning Yunzhao and Lu Yunqi looking at them curiously, he coughed again and waved to the eunuch, "Come in and answer."
Yuan Bao and the chamberlain just walked in here, and a guard in Jin Yi also came in and whispered a few words to Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi's expression remained calm.
"What's the matter?" Ning Yunzhao asked curiously.
Lu Yunqi didn't say anything, just looked at him and walked out.
Ning Yunzhao didn't catch up and asked again, and smiled.
"Isn't this interesting?" He said to himself, "Things like public opinion cannot be controlled at any time."
............
.............
"What did you say? Everyone in the capital is talking about King Huai now?"
The emperor in the palace asked in disbelief.
Yuan Bao stood there and nodded with an uneasy expression.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on." He said, "Everyone doesn't say that Miss Jun is rebellious and rampant, but they all talk about King Huai."
The emperor's face was ashen.
"What did they say about King Huai?" he asked coldly.
.........
........
"If you ask me, it's natural for King Huai to be the crown prince."
A man in the teahouse said while holding a tea bowl.
There were many people around who listened to what he said.
Although the capital is still on alert now, because it is the Qingshan Army who is chasing the Jin soldiers outside the city, the people feel inexplicably at ease, and order has been restored in daily life in the capital.
Shops opened, and people put away their caution and started drinking tea and alcohol.
"Why should it be taken for granted?" Someone asked loudly, "This throne is passed down from me to my son. How could I pass it on to my nephew?"
This is also true, and everyone around nodded.
"Well, you are wrong." The man holding the tea bowl said, "Have you forgotten why the late emperor chose His Majesty in the first place? The reason was that the emperor's grandson was too young."
If a child who is too young is the leader of the country, it will easily lead to chaos in the government.
"But now King Huai has grown up." The man serving the tea continued, "And he is also dignified, sensible and brave. He is not at all like the former prince."
Speaking of the former prince, many people recalled him.
Although the late prince was sick and frail, every time he appeared in front of people, he made people feel as bright as the rising sun.
"No one knows what King Huai was like before, but everyone has seen with their own eyes what King Huai is like now. This is not just nonsense."
Yes, thinking of that critical moment, this little child appeared at the city gate.
"Don't be afraid, I am with you."
The childish voice took root as soon as the words were spoken, and the short figure stood firmly on the city gate from that moment on, never leaving even half a step.
I am here to defend the city. If the city is destroyed, I will die first.
Thinking of these things, everyone present felt their hearts soften.
Especially compared to the emperor who would only go to the emperor's mausoleum to sin against his own edict...
Rather than issuing an edict to punish oneself, it would be more practical to defend the city together with everyone...
"Prince Huai was originally the emperor's grandson."
"What is the crown prince? The prince's son, a type of prince."
"No, the late emperor did not confer Prince Huai the title of grandson at that time."
"That's not certain. It's not like the prince went too suddenly and didn't have time."
"You're wrong to say that. After the crown prince left, the late emperor didn't even think about it. He directly appointed King Qi. This was to deny King Huai."
"Then why deny it? It's because King Huai is too young. Now that King Huai has grown up, as the orphan of the first prince, it is not impossible for him to be crowned prince again."
There was a dispute in the restaurant and tea shop, and the sound became louder and louder. There were supporters from both sides, and the quarrel became violent until a group of officers and soldiers rushed in.
"Don't discuss court affairs arbitrarily."
"Everyone spread out."
Accompanied by the sound of shouting and beating, the restaurant and teahouse became even more chaotic.
...........
........
"The government has already begun to interfere." Chen Qi lowered his voice and said.
"So what about interference? The more people interfere, the more curious they are and the more they want to talk about it." Miss Jun said, "This is what I want. I caused an uproar in the world with my ridiculous actions, but it involves more than just me.
The behavior, but the person involved, will be constantly mentioned, and the topic will be opened. Once it is opened, it will grow with the wind and spread thickly like grass."
Until the sky is covered with grassland.
Chen Qi paced back and forth and clenched his hands.
"The government has already started to interfere. What if the thunderous power of the court is suppressed?" he said.
After all, it is the imperial court, and there are various means at its disposal.
Miss Jun looked at him.
"Isn't there still me?" she said.
Chen Qi looked at her and was speechless.
Yes, there is her, she has done so many things, accumulated so much reputation, has money and soldiers, she has enough ability to make people continue to discuss and discuss, she will make King Huai's reputation even greater,
Until it is dazzling and aggressive.
Until he became the crown prince.
If he had heard this before, he would have thought it was a joke, but now Chen Qi couldn't laugh, because she had really done all those impossible things.
