Chapter 765 Puppet regime, sequelae of serious illness

The Eight Wise Kings snorted coldly: "Today the new emperor ascended the throne. For such an important event, his regent didn't even show his face! It was obviously a deliberate act of neglect. Could it be that if he didn't show up, the daily important events of the court would have to be waited for alone in the future? Can't he?"

As he spoke, he dropped his hem, knelt directly on the ground, took out a secret fold in his sleeve, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Bao, the guard of Tongshan Pass, just came to report that King Chu Jiang has arranged a team of one hundred people. The envoy will arrive in Beijing on a selected day to discuss the matter of the Queen Mother and ask the Emperor to make a decision..."

Fulin'an and Ye Ruhui looked at each other with intriguing smiles.

They understood what the Eighth Sage King meant by saying this. Wasn't it to deliberately undermine Lin Yun and want Li Daozong to rule personally?
But when it came to the mission sent by the King of Chu Jiang, not to mention the inexperienced Li Daozong, even the Eight Sages did not have the guts to make a decision.

Once this matter is not handled properly, it will inevitably lead to King Chu Jiang's Northern Expedition and rebellion.

Who doesn't know that the Queen Mother is the biological sister of King Chu Jiang, and she is extremely protective of her shortcomings.

Except for Lin Yun who has the ability to confront King Chu Jiang head-on, the entire court cannot find another capable person.

However, Fulin'an and Ye Ruhui did not think that the Eight Wise Kings were sincerely helping the emperor.

Everyone knew that Li Daozong was incompetent. The Eight Wise Kings asked him to rule in person, but they simply hoped that he would make mistakes.

After all, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and the more civil and military officials throughout the dynasty see how incompetent the emperor supported by Lin Yun is.

It can be regarded as the Eight Wise Kings paving the way for the old prince Li Daozhen in advance.

At this time, Li Daozong smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Eight Emperors, please rise. This matter is related to the general situation of the country. I can't make up my mind. I'd better wait for the regent to come and let him make the decision!"

As soon as he said these words, the Eighth Sage King suddenly looked at him, his eyes full of disappointment. He was setting up a stage for Li Daozong this time, but this kid turned out to be a coward.

Fulin'an raised his hand and stroked his beard lightly, and gloated: "Now that the emperor is undecided and the regent is away, is it possible that the Eighth Prince intends to go overboard and negotiate for the imperial court with the envoy sent by King Chu Jiang?"

The Eighth Sage King's face was ashen, and he secretly cursed Li Daozong for being unable to hold up the wall. He sneered: "Fu Zhongtang thinks too highly of me! I am only responsible for conveying the news. As for who negotiates with the other party, that is not under my control." It’s up to you!”

After saying that, he bowed to the emperor, placed the secret folder on the dragon table, and left with a wave of his sleeves.

He didn't seem to take Li Daozong seriously at all.

Seeing Li Daozong's incompetence this time, he became more determined to assist the old prince Li Daozhen in ascending to power.

The original intention of the Eight Wise Kings has changed.

At the beginning, he just wanted the prince to ascend the throne smoothly and be a normal emperor.

But it was different now. In his heart, Lin Yun was no longer just a clique and listened to politics behind the curtain, but a traitor and traitor!

In an attempt to destroy and rob the Li family, why else would he support such a useless emperor to ascend the throne?
Therefore, he wanted to help the Li family. Only when the old prince ascended the throne could he take the first step towards success.

But this road was destined to be difficult, so the Eight Wise Kings could only endure the humiliation and wait for the opportunity.

After going to court, Fulinan and Ye Ruhui left the palace and rushed to Yun Mansion as soon as possible.

The current Yun Mansion, because of Lin Yun, has a status comparable to that of the Imperial Study Room and the Military Aircraft Department.

Several powerful ministers went to court every day, just going through the motions and coaxing Emperor Li Daozong to say some comforting words.

But if we want to solve national affairs, we need Lin Yun, the regent, to make the decision.

Moreover, in the current civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, officials with official positions lower than the second rank could not see Lin Yun at all. Although it has long been an open secret that he listens to politics behind the curtain, Lin Yun still keeps a low profile and never gives any official a chance to find trouble.

In the bedroom of Yun Mansion's palace.

After this period of recuperation, Lin Wuyue's health was no longer serious.

But because of her last miscarriage, she could never be a mother again in her life.

This was unacceptable to Lin Wuyue.

Therefore, although she recovered physically, her mood was extremely poor.

For the past few days, he ignored anyone and just lay in bed alone.

Even when Lin Yun visited her, Lin Wuyue remained silent and just cried silently.

At this moment, two maids walked in carrying lunch in baskets.

"Madam, it's time to eat!"

Lin Wuyue just glanced at them indifferently, then turned to look to the other side.

Lin Yun sat on the bedside with a smile: "You two put down the food and you can go out!"

The two maids nodded in agreement, and obediently brought out the food and placed it on the table nearby.

After they left, Lin Yun personally brought a bowl of meat porridge, sat on the bedside and said seductively: "Hmm...Wu Yue, this meat porridge is so delicious! Do you want to try it? I will feed it to you personally..."

Lin Wuyue looked at him dreamily, tears flowing down the corners of her eyes.

"My husband, how can I still be in the mood to eat? I can no longer be regarded as a normal woman. I can't give birth to children for my husband, so what's the point of living?"

The smile on Lin Yun's face gradually solidified, and he sighed: "Wuyue, whether you have children or not does not affect our relationship as a couple! What's more, the imperial doctor only said that your current body is infertile, but he didn't say that you won't be able to have children in the future. How can you recover if you take good care of yourself?"

Lin Wuyue sniffed her sore nose and slowly shook her head: "I know my physical condition very well! My husband, otherwise...you should divorce me! This way I can feel better physically and mentally!"

Lin Yun snorted coldly and put the porridge in his hand on the table.

"What are you talking about? My husband loves you. Even if we have no children in our lives, my husband will not despise you! What's more, in Niubei Village, we were poor and had nothing to do, and you three ladies have no regrets. You will suffer hardships because of your husband. If your husband abandons you now, will you still be a man? "

Lin Wuyue couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself directly into Lin Yun's arms, crying loudly.

"I can't compare to Wanqing and Oona's family, and I can't even compare to Qingyue! Before, I only hoped to give birth to children for my husband, which can be regarded as a contribution, but now... I have become a How can I have the nerve to stay with my husband if I am a useless person?"

Lin Yun hugged her with a smile and comforted her: "Silly girl, we are a family, why are we talking about two families? They all treat you as their own sister, how can they really dislike you? You don't know yet, When you were unconscious a few days ago, Oona was so angry that if her husband hadn't stopped her, she would have gone out to kill someone!"

After hearing what he said, Lin Wuyue's mood recovered a little, and she suddenly looked up at Lin Yun with an unprecedented serious look in her eyes.

It was the first time Lin Yun felt it in her.

"Wu Yue, just say what's on your mind directly! Even if you want the moon in the sky, my husband will find a way to pick it off and give it to you!"
