"I just don't know who it is, so the people below came to report it."
Eunuch Huang took a few steps forward, lowered his body even lower, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has assigned a lot of spies to each big family. Although he can know some of the trends within these families, , but it’s still hard to know the specific things.”
Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and we have to be on guard... Go and find someone for me."
Eunuch Huang was stunned for a moment: "Master Yun?"
"Look for Yun Lingzheng!"
Emperor Ming asked people to serve him and put on his clothes. He turned around and nodded to Eunuch Huang: "My ministers all have their own motives. To put it bluntly, Yun Tingfeng is still an extremely cunning old man. Guy. When it comes to matters involving his own family, he is very good at using his mind that he shouldn't use. But Yun Lingzheng is different. He is a person who sincerely serves the country and the people, and has never bent the law for personal gain. Although I am still afraid of the Yun family, But Yun Lingzheng... is still somewhat usable."
Emperor Ming did have a good relationship with Master Jiu.
But which person in power doesn’t consider power first and then talk about feelings?
What's more, the promised thing is far away.
If it weren't for Huo Shenzhi who made Emperor Wu Zong change his story and admit that Yun Si and the King of Chu had nothing before, it was just that Yun Si was deceived into the King of Chu's palace to cut blood and raise a concubine.
Emperor Wu Zong personally wrote a jade ultimatum to Yun Si and presided over the dark marriage for them...
The emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty had done so much, even admitting that Huo Linye married Yun Si, not to mention.
What can the people below say?
"Not to mention, in the current imperial court of Zhou Dynasty, I heard that more than half of the officials feel that Huo Shenzhi and Yun Si are legitimate. The people below also responded positively..."
Having said this, Emperor Ming couldn't help but laugh: "This man really has his own tricks. But I don't know what happened between them. No matter what he does, the two of them will be separated forever."
It was also because of these legitimate claims that the affairs between the two of them were leaked.
Emperor Ming did not pursue anything against the Yun family.
After all, their daughter died.
And Huo Shenzhi, in Da Zhou, did things so beautifully.
but……
"Your Majesty, General Ciqing has entered the imperial capital."
Eunuch Huang came in from outside and when he talked about this matter, he didn't look very good on his face.
Emperor Ming was silent for a moment: "When Ci Qing enters the palace, you first ask him to find out who was injured and what efforts were made by the soldiers who followed along the way, and reward them well." Soldiers who have contributed. Especially those who died on the way, they must be buried with lavishness. No matter how far away, the bodies must be brought back home. The souls of our Xizhou soldiers must not be left wandering around. Their families must also It must be implemented on a real basis. The court will provide their parents with a long life and continue to provide pensions. This is the most important thing. You send people to do it personally."
In this way, Emperor Ming summoned Yun Lingzheng.
The blue-grey sky has not completely brightened up yet.
A mist enveloped the entire imperial city.
Today is destined to be a cloudy day, there will be no sun.
When Yun Lingzheng entered the imperial study, the eunuch below also turned on the lamp in the imperial study, finally giving a glimmer of light to the dark place.
"Yun Aiqing is back?"
Emperor Ming had an early morning court today. He sat on the dragon chair with a smile and asked someone to make Yun Lingzheng a pot of tea.
Yun Lingzheng moved his eyes away from the curling tea mist, stood up and saluted: "I failed to dissuade His Majesty from entrusting him to fight the war on the border."
It is true that Emperor Ming asked Yun Lingzheng to persuade peace, and it is also true that he allowed Yun Chengzu's general Ciqing to pick the opponent's head.
"A small border tribe, after marrying my princess from Xizhou, thought that Xizhou would be afraid of them from now on. It is also necessary to teach them a lesson. I believe that Yun Aiqing's eldest brother has the ability to make them behave. "
Emperor Ming was nearly forty years old. There was a hint of sternness and majesty in his elegance, which made people fear and respect him.
Yun Lingzheng understood that by asking him to persuade them to make peace, he actually wanted to make the other party slack off and become more arrogant, thinking that Xizhou was afraid of them.
And a person like Ciqing who could be promoted by the emperor was naturally a smart person. He knew His Majesty's thoughts, so he directly picked the opponent's head.
"It's a pity that the princess died on the way, and the funeral has not been announced yet. Her two children, the whereabouts of the boy are unknown, and the daughter was sent to the palace the day before yesterday. I am very satisfied that you have done this, no I'll blame you, so you don't have to make such a big gift."
Emperor Ming always had a smile on his face, but when he mentioned the death of the princess, his smile faded a little, but it was fleeting.
Yun Lingzheng lowered his eyes and leaned forward: "Your Majesty, please punish my Yun clan!"
Emperor Ming frowned.
He knows Yun Lingzheng very well, and he is a reliable minister who never bends the law for personal gain.
Emperor Ming once even thought that if the Yun family really wanted to follow the dragon and the phoenix, and after marrying the prince, he would deal with the prince, and the Yun family would naturally be in trouble.
As for Yun Lingzheng, he will keep it well.
Because he can really shoulder the burden of a country, and he really puts his mind on the country and the people. He is very reliable, and everyone can rest assured.
"Why should I be punished? Your Yun family has always been a meritorious official. Your eldest brother has made great contributions to me, and you have taken care of the government. You even went to see the Thirteenth Prince for me. I have always felt at ease when you did things. Besides, your sister When he was still alive, he was the great master of Xizhou who saved my beloved. Although he is gone now, the regent did everything beautifully, and I don’t want to pursue it anymore.”
If you believe everything a person in authority says, you would be a fool.
"Your Majesty, everyone now knows that Wei Chen's sister is dead... Most people in the world are like this. As long as someone dies, they will be remembered and praised. The previous sarcastic curses, attacks and insults seem to have ceased to exist. Human nature is evil, because little things can even use the most vicious words to attack a person who has nothing to do with them, and wish to let the other person die. If my sister is still alive today, or is dead, and suddenly comes back to life , then we won’t just face these beloved ones today.”
Yun Lingzheng didn't make his words clear. He also knew that Emperor Ming gave up because Yun Si was already dead. It would be too shameful to argue with a dead person.
Emperor Ming was so smart that he immediately understood the meaning of Yun Lingzheng's words.
Tonight they secretly sent people away, and now they are saying this, it means something.
But, is Yun Si really still alive?
This is impossible!
He also had spies and eyes in Dazhou, and they all saw with their own eyes that Yun Si died in a sea of fire after giving birth to twins.
Neither twin survived.
"Then you...you have to explain it to me carefully then."
