Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 771 The clever new emperor

Ever since the assassins left behind by Emperor Jiayou were eliminated, no assassins have appeared since.

Thinking that Yu Qinghuan was pregnant, Changsun Tao could do whatever he felt comfortable with, so they walked a full eight days for the journey that could have taken five days.

Although it was a national mourning, King Qi was not charged with anything. After all, the country and the country were the most important thing. Compared with the national mourning, fighting on the border to protect the country was obviously more important.

Therefore, no one came forward to explain the fact that King Qi was delayed by the war and could not come to see the Queen Mother and the late Emperor off.

It was true that the eunuch's decree was false, but now that they knew that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had passed away, they had to return to the capital for the funeral.

However, they did not have to abide by the red tape of Banshi's return to the court. After all, they did not have an imperial edict to defend the enemy in Guiyan City. Strictly speaking, the name was not justified, and they could not follow the rules of Banshi's return to the court when they came back.

In addition, everyone knew about the situation in the Dingbei Hou Mansion at this time... The border troops were in the hands of King Qi, and no one dared to be strict with the couple.

In short, in one sentence, Prince Qi and his wife are in full swing and no one dares to offend them.

On this day, the new emperor led a hundred officials headed by Feng Xiang and personally welcomed him ten miles outside the city.

Because there was no formal coronation ceremony, the emperor could not change his reign and establish a new emperor. The new emperor did not have a reign name yet, so he could only be called the new emperor.

"I have returned from Northern Xinjiang and brought my princess to pay homage to His Majesty." Changsun Tao and Yu Qinghuan knelt down.

The rest of the people all knelt down in turn.

"Uncle Emperor, it's been a long journey from afar, please get up quickly." Changsun Ce quickly bowed to help Changsun Tao. This is a sign of respect and an honor.

The ministers hurriedly saluted Changsun Tao. No one dared to object to the new emperor's respect for King Qi. After all, they could not go into battle and kill the enemy. What right did they have to think that the new emperor should not respect the hero?

The new emperor's respectful attitude in front of Changsun Tao did not seem to be false: "Uncle Emperor, I know everything about returning to Yancheng. It is the great Qin Dynasty's fortune and the people's fortune to have the emperor's uncle."

Changsun Taofu bowed again and handed over his hands: "It is not easy for Your Majesty to accept orders in danger. Thank you for your hard work."

The new emperor's smile was like an April breeze: "Uncle Emperor, in fact, I miss those days in Yangzhou very much. Although it was a bit dangerous, it made me realize a lot of truths."

Changsun Tao followed his words and said, "I wonder what truth your Majesty has realized?"

The new emperor suddenly held Chang Sun Tao's hand: "Blood is thicker than water. Your uncle is my closest relative. I hope your uncle can help me more in the future and fulfill my responsibilities as a minister in the name of my relatives."

Changsun Tao suppressed all his emotions under his smile: "In order to fulfill my duties in my position, as the Prince of Qin, I should share your worries and solve problems for His Majesty. This is my duty and responsibility."

The new emperor felt a little guilty and said: "The emperor's uncle has returned in triumph. I should have taken care of him, but the late emperor's funeral has not been over for 27 days. I can only use up my gratitude in the future."

Changsun Tao smiled: "Your Majesty personally welcomes Shili. This grace and kindness are unparalleled. How dare I take credit and be arrogant."

The new emperor added: "According to the ancestral system, after the death of the previous emperor, the funeral procession will be suspended for some time. Ziguan will move the funeral palace to the funeral palace for a few days to several months, and then carry out the funeral."

"However, after the Taishi ordered a star divination, he learned that the coffins of the late emperor and the queen mother could not stay for too long, so the two officials sent them directly to the imperial mausoleum without moving to the funeral palace, and the funeral was only three days ago. "

Changsun Tao was speechless, waiting for Changsun Ce to continue: "It is a pity that the emperor's uncle could not see the Queen Mother and the late emperor for the last time. However, when the queen mother and the late emperor were in power, they always taught me that the country is the most important thing, so the emperor's uncle does not need to worry about it. You came to see me off for the last time, the Queen Mother and the late Emperor must hope to see the mountains and rivers consolidate forever."

These words made Feng Xiang smile.

But it shocked the officials in the court.

What's the meaning?Is the new emperor trying to excuse King Qi's late arrival?
The new emperor has said this. In the future, who can use "unfilial piety" and "disloyalty" to stab King Qi? After all, the country is the most important thing...

Changsun Tao took in the expressions of the ministers and finally said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."

Changsun Ce said nonchalantly: "One family does not talk about two families. I sincerely regard the emperor's uncle as one of my own. I am still young and have just ascended the throne. The government is unstable. I am very relieved that the emperor's uncle has returned. I will be with you in the future." I rely on my uncle."

Changsun Tao said loudly: "I will do my best to assist Your Majesty." The new emperor smiled and said: "Okay, let's go back! The letter said that the emperor's aunt is pregnant. I know that the emperor's uncle loves his little wife. I can't stand in this cold wind anymore. , Uncle Huang is going to feel distressed."

Changsun Tao's smile finally became a little more angry: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I will indeed feel distressed. However, I have two important matters at the moment that I have to report to Your Majesty."

The new emperor's eyes moved to Yu Qinghuan, with a hint of probing: "Is it about the emperor's aunt?"

Changsun Tao said: "Yes. It's also about Yiyonghou's Mansion and Xingyang Prince's Mansion."

The new emperor pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, I would like to ask my uncle to work hard and follow me back to the palace. We will resolve this matter clearly in Taiji Hall to avoid sudden trouble in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Changsun Tao said respectfully.

The new emperor's chariot led a group of people back in a mighty manner.

Changsun Tao glanced at Mr. Feng without leaving any trace: This second son talks and behaves like an emperor. Did you teach him?

Mr. Feng responded nonchalantly, saying: A qualified and good minister will never teach the emperor how to do things. I have become a highly respected minister and now I just want to die in peace.

Changsun Tao: It seems that this little kid is quite thoughtful.

Mr. Feng spread his hands: It seems so.

But Yu Qinghuan's eyes were entangled with Lu Mingyong, who was guarding the new emperor, and they were inseparable.

Changsun Tao felt sour in his heart when he thought about those past events. He wanted to interrupt the exchange of glances between the two of them several times, but when he saw Yu Qinghuan's moist eyes, he gave up, but instead held Yu Qinghuan in his arms.

Lu Mingyong silently withdrew his gaze.

Due to the rebellion of the Royal Guards, and the new emperor has not yet said whether he will reorganize the Royal Guards, the Qilin Guards have the potential to take over the position of the Royal Guards.

As the commander of the Qilin Guards, Lu Mingyong was highly regarded by the new emperor. What Lu Mingyong did when Emperor Jiayou was in power has not changed much now that the emperor has changed.

In the Tai Chi Hall, the new emperor sat on the dragon chair.

Wendong and Wuxi, lined up and stood in awe.

Changsun Tao and Yu Qinghuan stood in the center of the hall, accepting everyone's gaze.

Yu Qinghuan took out a tiger charm and knelt down in a relaxed manner: "Your Majesty, this is a relic from my father's lifetime."

Before my father was alive?

The second child of the Yu family subconsciously looked at Yu Jian who was lined up outside the Tai Chi Hall.

Huh?
Fortunately, this man just stood there and dozed off, and did not drive westward!What do you say about my father’s relics during his lifetime?

The new emperor had the same reaction as the second eldest son of the Yu family, but he was obviously calmer sitting on the dragon chair.

"My father was alive? Princess Qi, didn't your father stand outside properly?"

Yu Qinghuan looked particularly proud and said word by word: "My father is the late Marquis Yiyong, and my mother is the late Princess Chuanping. My concubine's name is Lu Mingyu. She is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yiyong's mansion, and she is also the daughter of Marquis Yiyong and Chuanping County." The only daughter of the Lord.”

The new emperor was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.
