After realizing this, most of the rebels instantly lost the courage to fight and put down their weapons and surrendered.
Since the regent has set up such a trap to lure them in, he must have a perfect plan. Otherwise, how could he dare to let them into the palace
If this is the case, then if they continue to attack now, it will undoubtedly be an act of giving away lives, which is not wise enough.
Who would want to have their head chopped off if they could live
A palace incident subsided so unexpectedly, with no consequences.
All the rebels were under guard and waiting to be punished one by one. Therefore, in the next period of time, Yun Xi was so busy that she got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog every day. It was extremely miserable. .
Fortunately, after her hard work for a period of time, the situation in the court finally stabilized, and the pedantic royalists had to succumb to her methods, acquiesced in her self-proclaimed king, and allowed her to give orders.
Although the court has been stabilized, there are a large number of vacant official positions and lack of manpower. The remaining officials have a huge daily workload and are simply miserable. Therefore, all the ministers have petitioned Yunxi, asking for opening up subjects to recruit scholars and serve the country. Xian, to fill the vacant officials, share the burden for them.
Yun Xi was right, and the ministers began to prepare.
"Sister-in-law, brother wants to see you."
In the imperial study, Yun Xi was reviewing memorials when Feng Lingge suddenly walked in holding Zhulong's baby.
Ever since she brought Feng Lingge by her side openly, Feng Lingge had acted as her personal bodyguard, taking away all the work of the servants, including serving tea and water.
Yun Xi closed the fold, stretched out her hand to rub her eyebrows, and then realized that she had completely ignored him.
Yunlin is young, and it is impossible to have no one around to watch. Who knows if those servants will bully Yunlin privately when no one is watching. Therefore, since Empress Dowager Shen was placed under house arrest, in order to take care of Yunlin conveniently, She then lived in the palace.
In addition, she was so busy during this period that she had no time to think about him...
Well, it's her fault.
"Invite him in."
Soon, Feng Huangye was invited into the imperial study.
He was still dressed in simple white clothes, with picturesque features and handsome features. However, he seemed to be thinner than before, and there was a bit of ice-like coldness between his features.
"What's wrong with you?"
After thinking about it, Yun Xi asked softly.
According to his temperament, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask to see her if nothing happened.
Feng Huangye nodded, looked at her uncertainly, and said, "Prince Regent, you once said that if Feng Huangye wanted to leave, he could leave at any time. I want to ask, is this true now? Still counting?"
"You want to leave?"
Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm.
Too bad...
She was so busy during this period that she didn't even have the chance to flirt with him and develop a relationship with him. If he insisted on leaving, she wouldn't be able to show the kindness to keep him, so she could only force him to stay
"Um."
Fenghuang Ye nodded and admitted frankly.
"Why? Do you have to go?"
The fingers in Yun Xi's sleeves subconsciously tightened. To be honest, she felt a little nervous.
"Yes, thanks to the regent's rescue, Feng Huangye was able to escape from the sea of fire. It is a great kindness that Feng Huangye will never forget. He will definitely repay the favor in the future. However, Feng Huangye has more important things to do now, so , I came here to say goodbye to the prince."
The reason why he stayed until now before deciding to leave was because he saw that the situation in the court had stabilized. Originally, he thought that she had saved him, so if anything happened to the court, he would just help her as a matter of course. To repay her for saving her.
But now it seems that she doesn't need his help at all and manages the court very well by herself. It's because he underestimated her ability.
There was no need for him, so it was time for him to leave.
"Are you going to the Northern Cold Land to find the Prime Minister and the others?"
Yun Xi thought for a moment and figured out what the important thing he said was.
The prime minister was very powerful in the court and was a veteran of three dynasties. He held a high and powerful position and blocked Gu Jinxiu's way to monopolize power. Therefore, he was regarded as a thorn in Gu Jinxiu's side and targeted him.
Under normal circumstances, an official will have some unclean stains to some extent, let alone the Prime Minister who has been an official for so many years and is a very popular minister
How could it be clean and spotless
It's simply impossible.
Gu Jinxiu had people secretly investigate the Prime Minister's background, and found out a lot of things. For example, in the years when the Prime Minister first became an official, when he was still a county magistrate, he was deceived, wrongly judged several cases, and wronged good people.
Another example is that he paid bribes to his superiors in order to get promoted, or his distant cousin used his power to bully others, etc.
Under normal circumstances, when these crimes occur to officials, their colleagues will think it is harmless. After all, they may have committed them, and even the emperor will turn a blind eye and be too lazy to pay attention to them.
But who made the Prime Minister unlucky enough to meet Gu Jinxiu who wanted to get rid of him
Gu Jinxiu not only dug up dirt on him, but also had someone add a few unfounded charges. Then, he exposed the true, false, and false charges in public in the court, and took the opportunity to remove the prime minister's black hat, and put the prime minister on the spot. A family is demoted and exiled.
Logically speaking, as the son of the prime minister, Feng Huangye should also be exiled, but Gu Jinxiu was jealous of Shen Zhuji for admiring him as a girl, and hated that Shen Zhuji kept chasing Feng Huangye even after becoming the queen. Therefore, , in anger, sold Feng Huangye into Feng Yue Tower.
He just wanted to use filthy places like Fengyue Tower to destroy Feng Huangye's character, elegance, and self-esteem. Only in this way could he relieve his anger.
"yes."
After thinking about it, Feng Huangye nodded heavily.
That was the father who gave birth to him and raised him. Even though he did many things wrong, he still received the punishment he deserved. As a son, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
At least, he should accompany him and fulfill his filial piety by his side.
Yun Xi held her forehead and sighed, "Didn't I tell you? You don't have to worry about Prime Minister Feng's matter. I will send someone to deal with it."
In fact, she had already sent someone out.
However, the distance between Beihan Land and the Imperial Capital would take at least three months, and her people would not be able to come back until three months later.
Hearing this, Feng Huangye pursed his lips and remained silent.
How should he tell her that she was already very grateful to him, and he didn't dare to bother her anymore about her father's affairs
The debt I owe is too great, so I can’t pay it back...
"That's it, you will be my prime minister, and I will give the order to send someone to welcome the prime minister back to the capital..."
Yun Xi began to shamelessly trick Fenghuang Ye again, "The position of Prime Minister of the Northern Dynasty is still vacant. Apart from you, I have no other good candidate."
