Chapter 177
Although Emperor Yuanchang's voice was a little weak, everyone stopped because of Concubine Hui's call, and Concubine Zhen looked at Emperor Yuanchang's bed with excitement, and broke free from the palace man who was supporting her, "Your Majesty ,His Majesty……"

Yu Wulin seemed to have found his confidence again, he threw off the Imperial Forest Army who wanted to come towards him, "Let go!"

The situation suddenly changed. Liang Yu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, remained silent, but he didn't make any movements. He just stood aside.

Seeing this, the old doctor went up to see Emperor Yuanchang again. After saying that sentence, Emperor Yuanchang didn't speak again, but closed his eyes and opened them again. Although he just passed out, but at this time Although waking up is not in the best state, but the coercion on his body is still there, no one dares to do anything at this time, even Yu Wulin stopped when he wanted to go forward.

After a long consultation, the old doctor withdrew, "Your Majesty's anger is weak and needs to be recuperated, so you should not get angry."

During the period of pulse diagnosis, Emperor Yuanchang's eyes gradually cleared up. Although the imperial physician said so, the one who knew his physical condition best was Emperor Yuanchang himself.

Therefore, lying on the bed, he just raised his hand to signal, Concubine Hui immediately understood and helped Emperor Yuanchang up, Emperor Yuanchang glanced at the people present, Yu Wulin took a step forward, "Father Emperor ..."

But looking at Emperor Yuanchang's expression, the words he wanted to speak got stuck in his throat.

Yu Wulin shut up and stopped talking, but Concubine Zhen did not.

After finally waiting for such an opportunity, how could she miss any opportunity to step on others? Concubine Zhen hurried forward, knelt in front of Emperor Yuanchang's bed, and said, "Your Majesty has finally woken up. Your Majesty rescued King Xuan. His Royal Highness wants to order the Imperial Forest Army to kill King Xuan, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuanchang didn't show the same anger as before in the hall at this moment. The imperial physician's decoction was also brought at this moment, and it was in the hands of Concubine Hui. Emperor Yuanchang took it and took a sip directly. Not very good, but not enough to faint again.

Seeing this, Concubine Zhen continued, "Your Majesty, King Xuan is wholeheartedly thinking about His Majesty. He is afraid that His Majesty will be dusted by Ruan Fu and try his best to find out the truth. King Xuan is all about His Majesty, Your Majesty..."

With a soft "click", the medicine bowl was placed on the tray, and then Emperor Yuanchang looked at Concubine Zhen who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I don't know that the Imperial Forest Army dared to leave without my order." Kill my son!"

Concubine Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground and was about to speak, trembled, but immediately dared not say anything.

Yu Wulin's complexion changed, and he knelt behind Concubine Zhen, "Forgive me, my father, the incident happened suddenly tonight, but the fourth brother probably thought that my son was framed and would harm my father's dragon body, so I ordered my son to be suppressed, I will make a decision after my father wakes up."

He spoke in a hurry, seeming to be looking for steps for Yu Wujue to come down, but, one sentence at a time, could it be that Yu Wujue was able to order the Imperial Forest Army to make a fuss, and wanted to cause conflict between Emperor Yuanchang and Yu Wujue? rift.

After all, no matter how much Emperor Yuanchang valued Yu Wujue, at least the Yulin Army could be regarded as Emperor Yuanchang's personal guards. If Yu Wujue could command the Yulin Army, as an emperor, it would be impossible for him to be unscrupulous.

Emperor Yuanchang frowned again, ignored Yu Wulin, and said, "Have you sent someone to Tongzhifu?"

An Cheng hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, someone has been sent."

Hearing this, Yu Wulin smiled, "Father, Ruan Fu..."

Before he could continue speaking, Emperor Yuanchang said coldly, "Back off!"

Yu Wulin's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and dared not say any more.

Yu Wujue didn't say a word after Emperor Yuanchang woke up. At this moment, he just stood quietly by the side, as if he didn't participate in tonight's affairs at all.

Emperor Yuanchang glanced at him with deep eyes, and then said, "King Wen, Ruan Shu is in custody, the fourth child is staying, and the rest are all retreating. When Ruan Fu comes, let her come to see me."

Yu Wulin's face darkened, feeling unwilling.

But as soon as Emperor Yuanchang uttered these words, King Yi and Princess Yi immediately stood up and said, "I will take my leave."

Yu Wuhan and Yu Wufan also resigned one after another.

Even Concubine Hui and Concubine Qi who were waiting at the side also stood up and retreated respectfully.

Although Yu Wulin and Yu Wuyan were still unwilling to do so, they couldn't say anything when they saw this, so they backed off with a bad expression on their faces.

Seeing that Emperor Yuanchang ignored her from the beginning to the end, Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth, looked at Yu Wujue with a certain kind of ruthlessness, and with a slightly sullen face, also retreated.

In the entire sleeping hall, only Emperor Yuanchang, Yu Wujue and An Cheng were left in an instant.

As soon as the rest retreated, An Cheng hurried forward, Emperor Yuanchang slightly raised his hand, An Cheng helped Emperor Yuanchang down.

Yu Wujue didn't say anything, after Emperor Yuanchang was helped up, he asked An Cheng to help him to the Nuan Pavilion next to him. Seeing this, Yu Wujue followed him.

After Emperor Yuanchang sat down again, his expression still had the majesty that was rarely seen when he saw Yu Wujue. He looked at him for a long time, and then said, "When did you know that Ruan Song is a matter of the Gaoche clan?"

Yu Wujue's expression was quite indifferent, "When the case of Jiazhou's counterfeit currency was not settled, I was suspicious about it. When Ruan Song was arrested, I confirmed it."

His answer was unexpected by Emperor Yuanchang, at least he knew it later than he expected.

Emperor Yuanchang continued to say in a deep voice, "So, that girl also knows her own background."

Yu Wujue also planned to hide this matter, the reason why he didn't talk about it was that both he and Ruan Fu had some intentions, and they also knew that sooner or later this matter would be fermented, but they didn't want to, it turned out to be At this time, it was originally proposed by Yu Wulin, which was unexpected, but after careful consideration, it made sense.

Yu Wujue nodded slightly, "I know."

Emperor Yuanchang felt his chest turbulent, his face darkened, and he took two deep breaths, seeing that An Cheng's heart was about to rise to his throat. Seeing this, Yu Wujue frowned, and moved his footsteps slightly. But the emperor looked over abruptly and said, "In this case, how does it feel to know that a member of the Gaoche clan has been an official in the court for decades?"

His voice was low, obviously because something touched him.

Yu Wujue said that Emperor Yuanchang was not breathing well, and wanted to step forward, but he stopped when he heard the words, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "No feeling."

"What a senseless one. You have been angry with me for many years because of what happened back then. I never thought that I would hear such words from you today."

"She is her, and the Gaoche clan is the Gaoche clan, besides, she has nothing to do with the Gaoche clan." Yu Wujue continued.

But Emperor Yuanchang didn't pass out from anger, let alone lose his mind. This matter is of great importance. It is impossible for Yu Wujue to detain Ruan Song's matter for no reason. Because of Yu Wujue's words, he was silent for a long time After that, he said, "In that case, tell me, why did you put this matter on hold?"

Yu Wujue said, "If this matter hadn't been put on hold at the beginning, what would the father have planned?"

Emperor Yuanchang lowered his eyes, the queen's death was related to the Gaoche tribe's Gu worm, if he knew that Ruan Song was a descendant of the Gaoche tribe, Yuanchang emperor probably would not spare anyone involved, but Ruan Fu, of course, will not continue to be reused by him, and there will be no subsequent reform of officials, and perhaps he will not be as effective as the current court.

He pursed his lips, his anger still lingering, Yu Wujue continued, "I understand what the father will decide."

"Could it be that you have no heart at all?" Emperor Yuanchang squinted his eyes.

Yu Wujue still had that look on her face, "I said before that Ruan'er is Ruan'er, and the Gaoche tribe is from the Gaoche tribe. The biggest connection between her and the Gaoche tribe is that the blood of the Gaoche tribe flows in her flesh and blood. That’s all, so what’s the point.”

After a pause, Yu Wujue continued, "Where did Ruan Song transport Jiazhou's counterfeit coins and minerals? There is no news until now. Since then, the border has been under martial law. Those things have never been transported. Outside of the Kingdom of Chen, this matter is not over yet. Since the other party cannot be found, it is necessary to lure the other party out. Father, let's just watch. There are thousands of officials in this imperial city. , Tens of thousands of guards fell down a Ruan Song. Behind him, I don’t know how many pairs of Gaoche tribe’s eyes were staring at everything in the open. The affairs of Ruan Song’s Gaoche tribe were secretly suppressed. One doesn't know, why does the fifth child know now? How does a concubine who lives in the deep palace know? Besides, King Wenjun has been in power for many years, so it is impossible not to know that his father kept secrets about the Gaoche tribe. Now, unexpectedly He came out together with Ruan Shu to tell the story. What kind of hands are behind it? Things are getting more and more unexpected. Even though they have dispersed, the Gaoche people have never dispersed in the Central Plains Center."

It can be said that Yu Wujue seldom talked to Emperor Yuanchang like this, and said such a long paragraph in one breath.

When Emperor Yuanchang was halfway through his speech, the expression on his face gradually froze.

Rational and clearer, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this your plan?"

Yu Wujue lowered her eyes, "The death of the empress mother was closely related to the Gu worms of the Gaoche clan. However, the empress mother had been in the deep palace all year round and had never been out of the palace. How could she get in touch with the Gaoche clan members? , the reform failed, and the situation has not yet stabilized is one thing, but there is no clue why the Gaoche tribe appeared in the palace, why there is no clue at all, and most of the palace people around the queen mother died tragically for no reason... Besides, it takes more time to plant Gu. Bloodletting, who can enter the body of the queen mother? When did the Gu worm enter? Why did the queen mother lose consciousness? After more than ten or twenty years, this matter has been unresolved. A heart attack."

As he said this, Emperor Yuanchang's eyes actually showed some emotion. These years, father and son rarely mentioned the queen in such a peaceful way. Usually, when they mentioned it, it was always a little secretly tense.

But when he said it at this time, especially in such a calm tone, Emperor Yuanchang felt unspeakable. At that time, he was still so young and his memory was limited, so how did he remember so many things?
Emperor Yuanchang's voice was filled with grief, and seemed more helpless, "Jue'er, what happened back then..."

He hesitated to speak. At that time, he had already been on the throne for five or six years. However, the Chen Kingdom was poor and weak and needed a major reform. Courage, two or three years after ascending the throne, under the control of him and Bai Moru, the situation in the court has gradually improved, and the situation in the court appears to be developing in a stable direction. He thought the time was ripe, so he discussed it with Bai Moru , to carry out drastic reforms to the impoverished and weak state of the court, pull out those stable old forces, and inject fresh blood. At that time, Bai Moru thought that the time was not very ripe, but at that time it seemed that it was an extreme situation. It was a good opportunity, and at the risk, Emperor Yuanchang and some confidant ministers began to plan this matter, including the descendant family at that time, that is, the queen's mother's family.

It's just that Emperor Yuanchang was still too young at that time, and he didn't know yet that he, a new emperor, was not yet able to stop the influential elders of the two dynasties who were still in the court at that time. The reform touched their interests, and they How could it be allowed, not to mention, those few years of calm were nothing more than those cunning veterans waiting in the dark for how the enthusiastic young emperor would deal with them.

So once the reform was decided, the conservatives almost tried their best to attack Emperor Yuanchang, making the situation chaotic, and the stable government situation fell into chaos almost instantly.

At that time, the queen's mother's family was still the confidant of Emperor Yuanchang, who had planned a lot for Emperor Yuanchang who had just ascended the throne. In order to violate the ancestors, the Qing emperor should stand up and oppose it.

The Yuanchang Emperor at that time was not the current Yuanchang Emperor. In the face of the huge backlash force, he couldn't solve this matter completely. What's more, at that time, Yuanchang Emperor's brothers were still there, and those people turned against the conservatives. One faction wished to drag him down from the throne, almost forming a tendency to force the palace.

The queen's mother clan declined during that turmoil.

The reforms that have not yet started have died in the backlash of the conservatives.

They are using an invisible force to tell Emperor Yuanchang that even though the throne belongs to Emperor Yuanchang, the court is composed of civil and military officials. Without them, Emperor Yuanchang would not have a peaceful life.

If Emperor Yuanchang touched their interests for many years, the situation of the court would be out of his control. This young emperor was not yet their opponent.

The Leng family had no choice but to take the blame and resign in order to quell the backlash from the conservatives and to preserve Emperor Yuanchang. The old head of state at that time suffered a serious illness and failed to recover. Bai Moru was frustrated because of this. Empress Leng was like this Under such circumstances, he was given a Gu worm, was controlled by the Gu worm, and wanted to do bad things to Emperor Yuanchang. Even when he was controlled by the Gu worm, he did not recognize Yu Wujue, who was still young at that time, and was often in a state of confusion. Among them, when she was controlled by a Gu worm, she almost killed Yu Wujue, and Empress Leng was almost killed by backlash.However, at that time, there was no other way to understand the Gu worms. Empress Leng knew the seriousness of the matter, and in the situation where Yu Wujue was almost killed that time, she committed suicide in front of Emperor Yuanchang in the deep palace.

But at that time, Yu Wujue was still young. Although he was extremely intelligent, he was still a child after all, and there were many things he couldn't understand. When he appeared in front of Queen Leng who had committed suicide, what he got was the fact that Emperor Yuanchang killed him by mistake because Queen Leng wanted to assassinate.

Since then, the knot between father and son has been untied.

As he got older, of course he also gradually understood that it was not Emperor Yuanchang who killed Empress Leng, and even if Empress Leng couldn't control herself to assassinate, Emperor Yuanchang did it wrong. Apart from bearing the torture of the heart, no one can do anything.

However, in his youth, if Emperor Yuanchang hadn't considered such drastic reforms at that time, how could such a thing have happened?The death of Empress Leng and the decline of the empress' mother clan were ultimately caused indirectly by Emperor Yuanchang.

Afterwards, the queen passed away, and the old country's patriarch, General Leng, was greatly stimulated by his illness. , Leng Yueying planted the other party's poison for Bai Moru, resulting in the current body that can only be cultivated in Nanshan. Since then, Bai Moru also left Yongjia because of Leng Yueying and being away from his homeland.

In 20 years, the conservatives of the past have long aged and become a pile of yellow sand and white bones, and Emperor Yuanchang is no longer the young emperor in his 20s. This Kingdom of Chen is finally completely under his control. In the hands of the young emperor who was young and energetic but controlled everywhere, he became a generation of emperors who sat firmly in the high position and planned strategies. After 20 years, those who bleed and sacrificed for today's situation have gradually become a story of the past...

In an instant, the Nuan Pavilion became quiet again. Whether it was Emperor Yuanchang or Yu Wujue, they seemed to be trapped in memories.

Half of Yu Wujue's side face was hidden in the flickering lights, and his expression seemed to become blurred because of it.

His voice was low, "The queen mother killed herself for me. Now that some people can't wait to find out what happened back then, I'll see who put Gu on the queen mother!"

He had just opened his mouth when Emperor Yuanchang suddenly looked at him, "You, do you know what happened back then?"

Yu Wujue pursed her lips, and there was a trace of complexity in her eyes. When he was young, even though he once thought that Emperor Yuanchang killed his mother and concubine by mistake, even when he was young, he always blamed Yuanchang Emperor for not being able to protect his concubine mother. He was so brooding, why didn't he check some things, the bigger block in his heart was that the concubine mother died for himself.

This reason has also become the self-blame and heartache that he has been unable to dispatch for so many years.

However, both Emperor Yuanchang and Queen Leng didn't want Yu Wujue to know the result, and didn't want him to know that Queen Leng committed suicide indirectly in order not to hurt him. A thorn was planted in Yu Wujue's heart that could never be pulled out.

He is still too young and smart, but the child's feelings for his mother will often have a serious impact on his growth. This is the tacit understanding between Emperor Yuanchang and Empress Leng, but it is also because of this, after all, Caused nearly 20 years of estrangement between father and son.

Yu Wujue lowered his eyes and remained silent. His self-blame and resentment towards Emperor Yuanchang were intertwined into two emotions. For so many years, he couldn't get rid of them in his heart, and he was unwilling to dispatch them. He couldn't help but admire his father, respect his father, and regard him as the tall emperor in his heart when he was a child, but he couldn't care about the damage to Empress Leng caused by Emperor Yuanchang's poorly planned reforms. , and couldn't mind that Queen Leng's death was indirectly related to him.

But his look, in the eyes of Emperor Yuanchang, after a little thought, he understood Yu Wujue's mind, "Jue'er, your mother doesn't want you to feel guilty for this, but you still do it I have been blaming myself for many years, my father was young at the time, if I had understood the principle of step by step, instead of such a drastic move that leaves no way out, it would not have caused such a situation. All these years, I have always felt guilty about you behind the scenes, and also guilty of you …Because of this, I lost your mother and concubine, and I also made my best friends stay away from their homeland because of this, which also caused the new atmosphere of Chen Kingdom to come 20 years late..."

His tone was a little sad, and he fainted for a while tonight, at this time, he looked even more old and weak.

Yu Wujue seemed to be stimulated by something, his eyes were getting colder, he raised his eyes, and was about to speak, when An Cheng beside him suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Ruan Tongzhi has arrived outside the bedroom."

What Yu Wujue was about to say was finally stopped by An Cheng's sudden intervention, but the coldness in his eyes did not disappear.

Emperor Yuanchang changed his old and weak state a moment ago, and pressed his forehead, "Pass!"

Outside the main hall, Ruan Fu had just arrived. At this time, it was already Zishi. Tonight, Emperor Yuanchang ordered fireworks to pray for the disaster victims in the north. After all, it was because of an unexpected incident that she just took a quick look at it.

After the matter of Ruan Song was settled, it was she and Yu Wujue who made the decision to hide the matter of Ruan Song's Gaoche clan. She didn't know where the coins and minerals went. Ruan Song belonged to the king of Chu, but After more than ten years of planning in Jiazhou, Ruan Song definitely did not tell the King of Chu everything, and after Yu Wujue's investigation, he did not find any connection between the King of Chu and Ruan Song on this matter, even if, maybe Yu Wujue Jing secretly knew about Ruan Song's money-raising behavior in Jiazhou.

So, where did those things go?

In this matter, the clues have been cut off. Then, there is another clue, which is the identity of the Gaoche clan.

In this way, she will see who is trying to take advantage of this matter.

At that time, Yu Wujue did not agree to do this, using her own identity, safety and reputation to investigate things, how could he allow it, but Ruan Fu insisted on going his own way, even if Yu Wujue wanted to stop it, he couldn't stop it.

And like Yu Wujue, this matter was revealed by Yu Wulin and Ruan Shu, which really surprised her.

As soon as she appeared outside the hall, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Yi Wang looked at her with a half smile but not a smile. Even so, he had reason to believe that the fifth child would not get any benefit from what happened tonight. It could be said that although the father kept secret about what happened back then, it was because of The protection of Yu Wujue was partly because of his love for Empress Leng, and partly because of the stability of the situation. Everyone only saw Emperor Yuanchang's intolerance of the Gaoche clan and the Gaoche clan's witchcraft. But he couldn't see the real reason behind it, so he hit himself with a gun.

Princess Yi frowned, glanced at Ruan Fu who was coming from a distance, and just nodded slightly, Ruan Fu smiled faintly, and said to these people, "Ruan Fu has met several princes."

Everyone had complex expressions, Yu Wu said coldly, "Ruan Tongzhi is here."

When Ruan Fu heard this, he just glanced at Yu Wulin, with no expression on his face, making it difficult to guess her emotions. The Gaoche family is the heart disease of the father, and also the heart disease of the fourth child. She does not believe that the father or the The fourth child has no grudges about this matter.

On the contrary, Yu Wuhan and Yu Wufan were a little worried, and the door of the main hall slowly opened. An Cheng stood at the door of the main hall, and said to Ruan Fu, "Ruan Tongzhi is here, Your Majesty let Ruan Tongzhi go in immediately."

Ruan Fu nodded, "My father-in-law."

After finishing speaking, she went up the stairs, and the door of the main hall was closed again. The princes who were still waiting had different expressions, but Concubine Hui, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Zhen are concubines, so naturally they are not Like these princes, they were waiting outside, but in the side hall next to them, so they didn't know that Ruan Phuc had arrived.

However, the three people sitting in the side hall did not speak, but just sat quietly on the side.

Concubine Hui always ignored the affairs of the palace, instead she held out the Buddhist beads, closed her eyes and did not listen or speak. Concubine Qi sat beside her, her expression was scrutinized, her brows were peaceful, but Concubine Zhen had a hint of impatience in her eyes, Finally couldn't bear it, recruited the maid behind her, said something in that maid's ear, and that maid quietly left the palace.

 Uh, I thought this chapter could incidentally reveal some of the truth about that year, but I can't write it...

  Still waiting for the next chapter~
