Chapter 2 The Queen Mother and King Yàn
It all shows that it is difficult to be a king, but isn’t it still difficult to be a coward?
In just such a moment, Wei Yunyi had already thought of several ideas.
I only need to summarize the actions of various dynasties in the past life, the actions of those lords who subjugated the country, such as the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the eunuchs taking power, the obsession with alchemy, etc., and go through it all, and the matter will be done, just like water.
If that doesn't work, you can learn from Sun Shiwan, the Chariot God of the Gaoliang River, the War God of Tumu Fortress, etc., and have a charioteer to fight in person.
Then Hunjun is worthy of coming in a hurry?
Wei Yunyi couldn't help but praise his wit.
But...where should we start?
Squeak~
Just as he was thinking seriously, the door to the dormitory opened.
A young eunuch in blue walked in, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you."
Queen Mother?
Wei Yunyi was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
The Queen Mother of the current dynasty, whose surname was Sun, was born into a wealthy family in the Yan region in the north.
But the other party was not the predecessor’s biological mother. The predecessor’s real biological mother was the late emperor’s first queen.
Because of dystocia during childbirth, she died of hemorrhage after giving birth.
The Empress Dowager Sun became the successor of the late Emperor.
And in the original work.
Wei Yunyi has always believed that the Empress Dowager Sun had a great responsibility for the death of his biological mother, so the relationship between the two parties has never been good.
Especially in the middle period, even the greeting ceremony was skipped, and it was only after the other party passed away that he reluctantly came forward.
It can be seen from this that the original owner was very resentful towards the Queen Mother Sun.
Now the other party suddenly invited me to come over.
Wei Yunyi was very surprised.
Could it be...
Is it for that matter?
It suddenly occurred to him, but he was not sure, so he planned to check the situation first.
"Go and tell the Queen Mother, I will be here soon." Wei Yunyi stood up immediately.
I have to say, it feels good to be an emperor.
He just finished saying that sentence.
next moment.
Dozens of young palace maids with beautiful faces walked in through the gate of the dormitory.
Then, under their service, Wei Yunyi changed into regular clothes, got on the dragon chariot and headed to Cining Palace.
In addition to the accompanying eunuchs, there were also imperial guards with swords and armor at the front and rear of the dragon chariot, which was quite a pomp.
It's spring at the beginning of the year, when everything is coming back to life. In the palace, there are not only green plants sprouting and white flowers in bud, but also all kinds of gorgeous palaces and pavilions along the way, resplendent and magnificent.
But before he could fully appreciate it, the dragon chariot stopped, apparently reaching its destination.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp voice: "Your Majesty is here!"
Wei Yunyi walked straight in.
"The emperor is here."
In the main hall of Cining Palace, a graceful and beautiful woman in palace attire sat at the head.
Behind him, several palace maids waved their fans gently and waited on him.
Even though Queen Mother Sun is already in her forties, she has given birth to children.
But because he has been pampered all year round and has been properly cared for.
Therefore, his appearance is not inferior to that of his youth.
In addition, the people of Yan are tough and tough.
Therefore, Queen Mother Sun has a wild nature that ordinary women do not have.
However, when she saw Wei Yunyi, her eyes looked cautious.
"The emperor is busy with government affairs, and it is really hard. His falling into the water some time ago has made the Ai family even more worried. Therefore, the emperor still has to focus on the dragon body and not work too hard. This is the ginseng soup made by the Ai family himself. The emperor drank it while it was hot.
Replenish your body."
"By the way, the emperor hasn't had his meal yet, right? It just so happens that the cakes on the table are a specialty of the Yan region and were made by the Ai family themselves."
After saying that, Empress Dowager Sun ordered people to bring the soup and medicine, and at the same time pushed the cakes on the table forward.
His movements, like his eyes, are all cautious.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Wei Yunyi responded.
Without hesitation, he drank the decoction in one gulp.
Although the relationship between the two was not very good, he also knew that the other party would not be stupid enough to poison the soup.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Sun felt a little relieved and continued: "The emperor has been on the throne for three years, but he only got married at the end of last year. The late emperor was not blessed with only two heirs, the emperor and Yuan Chuan. For the sake of the great Wei Dynasty, the emperor also needs this harem.
Go for a walk more often.”
Hearing this, Wei Yunyi, who put down the porcelain bowl, then remembered that there were two more people in his harem.
A queen and a concubine, but because of her predecessor, she has been busy with government affairs.
So after a few months of marriage, I never visited the harem once.
Of course, he also noticed the key point in Empress Dowager Sun's words.
His own imperial brother, Wei Yunchuan.
But to avoid being taboo about the emperor, I changed the name to Yuan.
He is the biological son of Empress Dowager Sun. When the late emperor was still alive, he was named King of Yan and given a fiefdom.
Wei Yunyi probably remembers that in the original work, this younger brother was not an easy man. He had shown extraordinary talents since he was a child. Not only could he read, but he was also very talented in martial arts.
Therefore, after the original owner ascended the throne, he was extremely wary of him, fearing that he would take the opportunity to cause trouble when he returned to his fiefdom.
In the name of the late emperor's filial piety, he forcibly detained King Yan in the capital for five years.
The purpose is to let the other party stay under your nose and take care of it.
Now, when Wei Yunyi heard this, he was convinced.
The Queen Mother was trying to persuade herself to let King Yan return to his fiefdom.
No wonder it is a pastry that is a specialty of Yandi.
Mentioning the late emperor again.
After calming down, Wei Yunyi smiled and said: "If the Queen Mother has anything to say, you can tell me directly."
Queen Mother Sun was stunned by these words, and she immediately understood that the meaning of her words was too obvious, so she immediately did not beat around the bush, and then said: "It's been three years. For the sake of the Ai family, the emperor, let Yuan Chuan
Leave the capital."
"He is a descendant of the late emperor and belongs to the royal family of the Wei Dynasty. The Ai family guarantees with his life that he will never do anything detrimental to the country."
By the end of her words, Queen Mother Sun's tone had begun to approach pleading.
For a woman born into a wealthy family in Yandi.
Such an attitude is already rare.
Sure enough, it's for this.
When Wei Yunyi heard this, he understood in his heart.
However, he had just traveled through time and had not yet adapted immediately.
Letting King Yan return to his fiefdom is a big deal and cannot be decided in a short time.
At least, think carefully before speaking, after all, the impact is huge.
Even if you have to choose to be a faint king.
But you have to be a wise and foolish king, you can't mess around, and you can't be a fool.
He knew that the ministers of the Wei Dynasty had great power, and if they were ignored, they would be unworthy of being a coward.
Immediately, Wei Yunyi raised his head and said: "Of course I know the character of the emperor's brother, but this matter is very big. I still need to discuss it with the ministers before making a decision. I hope the queen mother will understand."
"Of course, of course." Although Empress Dowager Sun nodded in agreement to express her understanding, there was a hint of sadness in her heart.
But she also knows that you can't push this kind of thing too hard, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
"Okay, I have to deal with government affairs."
"The Queen Mother should take good care of herself."
Seeing that nothing happened, Wei Yunyi made an excuse and got up to leave.
Not long after he walked out of Cining Palace, Queen Mother Sun was sitting behind the screen in the main hall.
Then a young man wearing a python robe and a somewhat gloomy eyebrow walked out.
The man has an extraordinary bearing, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. His appearance is somewhat similar to Wei Yunyi's, but he is not as handsome as Wei Yunyi.
