Chapter 856: Hundreds of officials take over
Caiwei's family was just a slave of the Leng family, and they were not close associates who followed Leng Yun in the rebellion. Therefore, they were not beheaded in public, but were sentenced to be exiled to the north as slaves.

As for whether the person is still alive, it is unknown. After all, the road to exile is dangerous and arduous. Those who can reach the destination alive are lucky.

Hearing that Caiwei wanted to go back to her home to reunite with her relatives, Xiaomao'er no longer insisted that Weiwei go home with him. He pouted, opened his hands and hugged her neck, and said sadly: "Then you If you miss the cat, the cat will miss you too."

Caiwei held the little milky-smelling person in her arms, choked with sobs and nodded: "Yes, I will miss His Highness the Crown Prince."

Kyoto Pier
The pier, which was originally bustling with people and bustling with people, was extremely quiet.

There was not a single boat on the river, and there were no laborers on the docks.

There were only the Imperial Guards armed with spears, swords, and armor, and the ministers of civil and military affairs standing in line at the pier as if they were going to court, waiting eagerly.

Ministers far away in Kyoto received a letter a few days ago, knowing that the emperor, who was on patrol incognito, was assassinated by Beidi assassins who had sneaked into Tianyuan in a mountain valley more than 20 miles away from Jiangzhou City, and was injured.

He has been escorted by the Jiangzhou garrison and returned to Beijing by water.

Moreover, the emperor also found Concubine Leng and His Highness the Crown Prince and brought them back together.

Yesterday, some of the emperor's imperial guards returned to the palace first and informed the left and right ministers, who were handling state affairs on his behalf during the emperor's tour incognito, that the emperor would arrive in Kyoto today.

Let them arrange for someone to pick him up, as well as the coffins of the guards who died escorting him and the secret guards.

After getting the news yesterday, the two prime ministers got busy. They cleared the pier early this morning, arranged for the Royal Forest Army to guard the pier, and brought civil and military officials to pick up the boat at the pier.

Yu Wei was wearing a purple official uniform and stood at the head of the hundred officials with the right minister who was also wearing a purple official uniform.

The two of them stretched their necks and looked to the right from time to time to see if the emperor's ship was coming.

"It's been two years. His Royal Highness is almost four years old. I don't know how tall he has grown?" The current Minister of Rites stretched his neck to look around and said to the Minister of Rites standing behind him.

The Minister of Rites said: "It must be higher than the emperor's calf. Your Highness the Crown Prince used to be cute, but now that he is bigger and longer, his appearance must be even more outstanding."

"That's for sure. I have never seen a prettier child than His Highness. We haven't seen him for two years, and His Highness must be more beautiful than before." The Minister of Industry and Commerce, who was standing next to the Minister of Rites, also joined the group chat.

The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy who was standing in front also turned around and said: "To tell you the truth, I dreamed of His Highness the Crown Prince last night. He was radiating a golden crown and came riding on a golden dragon. Suddenly the sky was filled with rays of light."

The Minister of Rites said excitedly: "This is a good sign."

"Yes, this is a good sign."

The academician of the Hanlin Academy stroked his beard and said, "I have a hunch that the return of His Highness the Crown Prince will also bring good things to our Tianyuan Kingdom."

"Good thing." A very unsociable cold voice sounded.

The Minister of Rites and others all looked at Taifu Yun who was standing behind the two ministers on the left and right. The corners of their mouths drooped down and they lightly rolled their eyes at Taifu Yun.

In the past two years, Taifu Yun has lost his Sacred Heart, and he has always been at odds with the emperor, doing things that made the emperor unhappy, and saying things that the emperor didn't like to hear. The emperor didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore. Now he only has the title of Taifu. A false position and no real power.The emperor ignored him, but he especially liked to show his presence. He would seize on the trivial matters of some ministers and impeach them in the court. Now one-third of the ministers in the court have been impeached by him. .

The ministers who had been impeached by him all hated him, and other ministers gradually distanced themselves from him. Except for his two or three students who were loyal to him, few people would agree with his advice in the court.

Taifu Yun said coldly: "As soon as the Emperor found His Highness the Crown Prince, he was assassinated by Beidi assassins on the way back and was seriously injured. Is this a good thing His Highness the Crown Prince has brought to Tianyuan Kingdom?"

Yu Wei frowned, turned to look at Taifu Yun and said, "Taifu Yun's words mean that the Emperor will be assassinated, and His Highness the Crown Prince will do it?"

Taifu Yun snorted coldly, "I didn't say that."

He hasn't said yet?
The Minister of Rites rolled his eyes at him quietly and said: "The Beidi Assassin would have planned to assassinate the Emperor. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Leng were not found, the disaster would still have happened. The assassination of the Emperor was due to Concubine Leng and Concubine Leng. His Royal Highness has nothing to do with it.”

"Moreover, Concubine Leng is born with divine power, and His Highness the Crown Prince can command all beasts. Maybe it was the presence of Concubine Leng and His Highness the Crown Prince that protected the Emperor and prevented the assassination from succeeding."

The Minister of Industry could not agree more, "Yes, yes, without Concubine Leng and His Highness the Crown Prince, it is still unclear whether the Emperor can return safely."

"Concubine Leng has saved the emperor several times before."

Listening to what they said, Taifu Yun's face became darker and darker.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor wanted to go out of the palace to look for the demon concubine and His Highness the Crown Prince, why would he go out on patrol incognito? If he didn't go on patrol incognito, he wouldn't have given the Beidi assassin an opportunity to take advantage of.

Therefore, the reason why the emperor was assassinated and injured was because of Concubine Leng and His Highness the Crown Prince.

But in their clan, it was only thanks to Concubine Leng and the young prince that the emperor was not killed by the Beidi assassins.

The right minister said: "In any case, His Highness the Crown Prince has been found, and we ministers can finally feel at ease."

The ministers all nodded. The prince's return not only made them feel at ease as ministers, but also made the people feel at ease.

The Emperor only has a son like the Crown Prince. After he and Concubine Leng disappeared, the Emperor did not favor the concubine, nor did he allow the harem to expand and have more children.

As long as they thought that if something happened to the emperor, there might be a bloody storm, they would have trouble sleeping and eating.

Now that it's better, His Highness the Crown Prince is back, the country is stable, and they can feel at ease, not to mention knowing that they will be scolded by the emperor, but they have to bite the bullet and remonstrate, begging the emperor to accept the harem, and the rain and dew will be soaked, and the branches and leaves will spread. .

Inside the gate leading to the dock, the road next to the city gate has been cleared by soldiers from the patrol camp. One man every ten steps held his spear horizontally, blocking the people on the roadside.

Zhou Xian, who was wearing a green gown and carrying a bookcase on his back, was going to the dock to take a boat home. When he saw soldiers from the patrol camp blocking his way, and there were guards guarding the city gate, he asked the middle-aged man standing in front, " Uncle, what happened at the dock? Are you not allowed in?"

The middle-aged man looked back and said, "Nothing happened. Our Emperor, who went on patrol incognito, is back today."
