In the twenty-seventh year of Changwu, an incident caused great disturbance in the court.
Dingguo Gong Jiangyuan secretly raised private soldiers, and his disobedience was clearly revealed. His Majesty ordered Chu Yu to secretly investigate the matter. Given the conclusive evidence, he couldn't help being furious, and ordered the governors of Liangjiang to dispatch the Jiangsu and Zhejiang water troops to encircle and suppress the obviously excess troops in Dingguo's mansion.
In February of that year, Jiangyuan was besieged, had nowhere to go, and committed suicide. An unstarted coup came to an abrupt end.
Everyone knows that there must be something involved behind this. Who is the person behind Jiang Yuan
Royal Study Room, Ambergris.
Peacock court clothes with coral red patterns were piled up on the ground, like layers of peonies blooming, and Chu Yu was kneeling in the middle.
Chu Yu leaned over and kowtowed, and the sapphire on the gold-plated bronze crown also flickered. It was supposed to be a dazzling official decoration, but the moment he raised his head, even the most luxurious accessories seemed to be overshadowed. Without him, Gein looks natural, incomparable.
After sitting on the desk, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, wearing a dragon robe, looks majestic, even if he has a face that is about to die, it will only make people infinitely awed and dare not give birth to a heart of contempt.
"Why do you need to perform such a big ceremony? Why don't you get up quickly and sit down and talk." As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, the eunuch beside him hurried forward to give Chu Yu a hand, and ordered the palace servants to come and embroider Pier aside.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Yu stood up obediently, and she really didn't want to refuse. Just kneeling for a moment, her whole waist began to ache, and even her stomach felt uncomfortable.
A muffled cough came out of the emperor's chest, and after a long while he slowly said: "You have worked hard during this period, and you look too thin. If your brother sees it, I'm afraid he may not know how to blame me."
Chu Yu showed a just right smile: "Your Majesty's words like this are what make me panic. Being able to take on this matter is your Majesty's trust in me. It's too late for me to be grateful. Why do I have any resentment with my brother?"
Older people generally prefer to chat with beautiful and sensible young people, and find a precise and appropriate point between king and minister, awe and intimacy. It will neither offend the most noble person in the world, nor make people feel overwhelmed.
This is why I like the brothers of the Chu family today.
The emperor sighed in his heart, and said again: "It would be great if everyone in this court was like you and your brother."
Chu Yu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. I and my elder brother are still inexperienced, so they can't compare to all the veteran ministers."
The emperor suddenly snorted coldly, and said sharply: "What a minister, if you hadn't been careful before and found out that Jiang Yuan had been suspicious of paying the bills in recent years, I would have raised a tiger!"
Chu Yu had no choice but to kneel down again, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty calm down, God bless our court, how can a mere treacherous sycophant have half the energy to do things, not enough to anger His Majesty."
The emperor coughed violently again, and it took him a while to recover. His face became paler, as if he had suddenly aged several decades. He tremblingly stretched out his hand to Chu Yu, with a somewhat dejected tone: "Qingci, come here." .”
Chu Yu stood up and held up the emperor's old hand: "Your Majesty."
The emperor's eyes were full of tiredness, he sighed softly, and put his hand on Chu Yu's shoulder: "In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big, I can still remember what you two brothers looked like when you were young... I have searched the capital and can't find it anymore." You two beautiful kids..."
The look in Chu Yu's eyes softened, and she said softly: "I still remember that when my father just passed away, His Majesty brought me and my elder brother to live in the palace for a while. At night, His Majesty ordered the palace people to release prayer lanterns together. You It is said that among thousands of lights, there is always one that is lit for us."
The tenderness of the emperor is the most unforgettable. The man holding the universe in his hand also gently stroked the tops of their heads, lit a sky lantern with his own hands, and asked the heaven for the peace and joy of the two dependent children.
"I'm old." Sighing helplessly, the emperor gently shook his head.
Chu Yu raised her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, how can you grow old? You still have to continue to watch the rivers and mountains, the rivers and rivers, forever and ever."
The emperor looked a little relieved, patted the back of Chu Yu's hand and said, "Seeing you supporting this river and mountain, I am very relieved. Qingci, these days have been too hard for you. From today onwards, you should go back to your residence to recuperate Let’s take it for a while, it’s right to take care of the baby with peace of mind.”
With a thump in his heart, Chu Yu suddenly raised his head to look at the emperor, facing a pair of aging but not chaotic eyes.
Chu Yu gritted her teeth secretly. His Majesty already understood the meaning very well. The matter of Jiang Guogong is over, and there is no need to continue to investigate. But now there is only a thin line between the person behind the scenes, as long as His Majesty nods, he can wipe out the unruly forces in the court, so that no one in the court will dare to have such a different heart!
Only one step away, how can we tolerate it.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yu was interrupted as soon as he spoke.
"Qingci, tell me, at my age, what more can I ask for?" The emperor's tone was half inviolable majesty, and half helpless to compromise with the years.
Chu Yu looked at the emperor in front of him, Yu Gong, this is his king and cannot be violated. Yu Shi, this is his elder, irresistible.
Time has obliterated not only the face of the emperor, but also the decisive heart that once killed. If we go back ten years and something like this happens in the court, the emperor will definitely check it out.
But when, the emperor would actually deceive himself and others? The family relationship of the emperor's family is still twisted and ridiculous in the end. After all, the emperor was still old, so old that his heart softened.
Chu Yu kowtowed and said, "My minister, obey the order."
Die filial piety for his son, die loyalty for his minister, since the emperor is not willing to get rid of another son with his own hands, so what can others do. I have to pretend to be deaf and dumb together, and pray that in the future, a single thought will not cause a catastrophe.
When he came out of the palace, Chu Yu staggered while holding on to the white jade railing. It took nearly half a year, and finally came to a pretentious and confused ending. I couldn't tell who was more pathetic and ridiculous.
I didn't feel it when I was busy, but now that the burden was off, I felt a little overwhelmed, and Chu Yu was almost unable to walk due to the deep tiredness.
It has been more than a month since I came back from Suzhou, during this time I was so busy that I had no other thoughts except to rectify the court, and I even rarely returned to the Hou's mansion. So when the attendant asked him where he was going, he couldn't even think of where to go for a moment.
"Go home." Chu Yu paused and said softly.
If there is still home, let him settle down for the time being.
