The letter of credence issued by Tatar Khan Yelu caused Yingzong and Empress Dowager Xiao to fall into distress.

What was the original intention of Yelu to imprison Xianzong? It was nothing more than to take advantage of the life of Emperor Yinchao and extort money from Dayinchao.But at that time, I had already been pushed to the throne by the Empress Dowager Xiao and the courtiers, and became a new generation of emperor. Xianzong became the Supreme Emperor, and the whole court regarded him as a burden. Life and death, let alone cede land and pay compensation, spend money to redeem him, such things as losing power and humiliating the country.

But now Yelu is no longer under the banner of asking for money to redeem the hostages, but wants to send back the emperor of Beishou in gratitude for the kindness of friends and neighbors in China.

This gave Dayin Dynasty great dignity, so his courtiers were shaken...

This is undoubtedly the reason for Yingzong's anger.

He was angry with Yelu's insidiousness, and also angry with his courtiers for not being loyal enough to support him.

Yingzong sat alone on the throne of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In the darkness, his stiff body was like a statue, and there seemed to be a cold breath wandering in the air.

He clenched his fists, let out a long breath, then got up from his seat, opened the door of the palace, and went straight to Ninghe Palace.

Eunuch Chen reported Yingzong's arrival to Empress Dowager Xiao through the palace gate.Watching the sky above her head turn from brilliant during the day to cold at night, Empress Dowager Xiao's heart was like the alternation of day and night, one after another.

She moved her stiff body and said hoarsely, "Please come in, Your Majesty!"

Yingzong entered the palace to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Xiao, only to find that her expression was very gloomy, and he knew that she must have heard about the early court.

"Is the queen mother uncomfortable? Why does she look so tired?" Yingzong stepped forward, held the hand of the queen mother Xiao, and then said in shock: "Why is the queen mother's hand so cold?"

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't have time to answer, so Yingzong yelled angrily at Eunuch Chen and the maids serving in the palace: "This is how you serve the Empress Dowager? A bunch of useless things. What use do I want you for?"

Eunuch Chen and others hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Empress Dowager Xiao knew that the emperor was feeling uncomfortable, so she had nowhere to vent her anger.

She had a lot of things on her mind today.Grinding heart endlessly, people who are tired enough.Not wanting to bother them any more, he said, "Your Majesty, don't blame them, it's the Ai family who don't let them come in to serve."

After she finished speaking, seeing that Yingzong suppressed his anger, she asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, can you have dinner?" Raising his hand, he ordered: "Set the meal!"

Eunuch Chen hurriedly responded.After a while, the maidservant in the palace brought the meals.

Yingzong accompanied Empress Dowager Xiao for dinner, but neither mother nor son seemed to have much appetite, and the table was full of dazzling dishes, and neither of them touched much.

After dinner, Empress Dowager Xiao knew that Yingzong had something to say to herself, so she asked Eunuch Chen to lead the people out, leaving only herself and the emperor in the palace.

Yingzong took a sip of tea and cleared his throat before entering the topic.

"My queen, Yelu sent a letter of credence. He said he would send the emperor back!"

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't raise her head, she took a sip of the tea soup in a low voice, and only hummed lightly.The expression on his face was calm and calm.

"My son is thinking, Yelu has been using the emperor to blackmail him for benefits in the early years, but now he has changed his greed and ambition and returned the emperor unconditionally. I am afraid that there is a fraud in it. I was ordered to take charge of the Dayin Dynasty, and I had to make far-reaching considerations. Don't think twice before weighing it. Don't dare to act rashly!" Yingzong said.

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at him, and a smile flashed in her gloomy phoenix eyes.He said unhurriedly: "What Your Majesty said is true!"

"I must secretly order someone to investigate this matter. Since the emperor has been hunting outside the pass for more than 19 years, although it is bitterly cold outside the pass, I believe that the [-] years of life must have been liked and used to the emperor, so I will temporarily let it go. Let him continue hunting outside the pass!" Yingzong's chubby cheeks had a faint smile, but his words were undeniably tough.

Empress Dowager Xiao already understood Yingzong's meaning very well.

She originally thought that since God had given him such a chance, letting him come back to spend the rest of his life would be considered returning to his roots.Is it because she is getting older and her heart is not as cold and ruthless as when she was young, or is she still thinking of that bit of flesh and blood in her heart?

Empress Dowager Xiao also smiled and agreed with Yingzong.

She came from the bloody storm in the court. She knew better than anyone that the Tian family was the most ruthless since ancient times. In the face of power, there has never been a place for brothers.

......

To welcome Xianzong's return to the court, Yingzong staged a story of dragging the knife.

In the morning court the next day, Yingzong also used what he said to the Queen Mother in Ninghe Palace last night to prevaricate the ministers.He didn't directly express his idea that he didn't want to take Xianzong back, but said that he needed to investigate whether there was any conspiracy involving Yelv in this matter.

As for who to send to investigate, Yingzong didn't say anything, and the ministers also knew how to read words and deeds, so they didn't dare to ask questions at this juncture.

Yingzong has been the emperor for 19 years, and he has always had a good self-cultivation. Even if he is sometimes offended by courtiers and furious, he is still the emperor Longwei, and he rarely behaves so irritable.

Cao Qing felt that this matter should not be rushed for a while, but welcoming the emperor back to the court is a matter of great face-saving. The historical records of the Dayin Dynasty will be passed down through the ages in the future. An emperor who was captured and imprisoned for life was born. What a shame, now I have the opportunity to erase this stain, it is the blessing of the ancestors, why not do it?

......

After the court, the prince summoned the counselors around him to his house.

The maidservants served tea to all the adults in the hall, then retreated obediently and closed the door of the hall.

The prince's mentality is not optimistic. Like Yingzong, he has a sense of crisis.

He frowned, glanced at the faces in front of him, and asked, "What do you think about this matter? That old man Cao Qing still has some weight, and the reason he said is very good, it is to win glory for the country." Congratulations, the other courtiers must agree, I am worried that the emperor will not be able to withstand the pressure at some point!"

The young master of the prince, Shen Zhong, put down the teacup, twirled the beard on his chin, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, don't worry. As long as your majesty doesn't let go, let alone he can't come back, even the gate of Yinshan Mountain. He won't be able to step in!" "

Some other counselors disagreed. He believed that this matter must have been planned by Yelu and Xianzong a long time ago.This time, His Majesty ignored the letter of the state, and I'm afraid it will come again.Tatar's behavior like this is pretending to seek peace and plotting against the law, but the people of the world don't know the serious relationship between them, and they must think that your majesty is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate the emperor.At that time, I am afraid that His Majesty's wisdom will be lost, and he needs to take precautions early.

These words hit the prince's heart.Just as he was about to speak, Shen Zhong yelled loudly, pointed at the counselor's nose just now, and angrily scolded him for scaremongering and nonsense, for daring to criticize and slander the emperor behind his back, this is an act of disloyalty and injustice.

The hat was buttoned too much, the counselor's face turned pale immediately, and he knelt down to plead guilty, explaining that he didn't mean it that way.

Shen Zhong is loyal to the prince.All his thoughts and concerns are based on the prince's interests.The last time the prince ignored his advice and privately ordered people to attack King Hui's men, which made him very angry.He felt that there was no need for the prince to compete with King Hui everywhere.Your Majesty is gradually dissatisfied with the prince's performance in recent years and the expansion of Xue's party, which inevitably arouses suspicion. The prince should restrain himself, cultivate his moral character, and learn how to be a king is the best policy.

As long as the crown prince has no major offenses, His Majesty will not easily depose him as the crown prince.As long as he keeps his own place, he will not have the opportunity to give others a handle.As for Chuan Guo Yuxi, he also thought that there was no need to rush for a while, the mysterious man had been hiding in the dark and never appeared.Shen Zhong felt that he had been too indifferent to his guess before, and he was a little annoyed afterwards.Therefore, after receiving the secret letter from that person for the second time, he paid more attention.He dared not reveal anything to the prince again, for fear that the prince would be impulsive and be used by others.

As for the group of counselors around the prince, they have to find an opportunity to clean it up. If they are allowed to teach the prince in such a way and act against the prince, sooner or later there will be problems.

Seeing Shen Zhong getting angry in front of his face, the prince felt very uncomfortable. He felt that Shen Zhong was too self-righteous and didn't take him as the prince seriously at all.His face suddenly darkened, he waved his arm, and raised his wide sleeves in an arc, and then, the sound of porcelain cracking resounded in the hall.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Shen Zhong stared at the prince with wide eyes, and the prince also looked at him angrily.

Shen Zhong's beard twitched, his lips opened and closed slightly, and he shouted weakly: "Your Highness..."

"Master Shen is so angry!" The prince sneered, thinking of Shen Zhong's hard work and hard work over the years, the anger gradually subsided.

"I think it's because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Mr. Shen is still not used to it!" The crown prince smiled, this time the smile was a little more real, and it was kind of like giving Shen Zhong a step down.

Shen Zhong understood, cupped his hands and pleaded guilty: "I just offended His Highness, I hope you will forgive me!"

"Young master is serious!" The crown prince asked them all to get up and go back to the table to do a good job. Then he continued: "I am worried about this, and I also want to relieve my father's worries. The young master told me not to do anything, just Let Your Majesty bear it alone, won't the people of the world want to call me unfilial?"

Shen Zhong hurriedly said "Don't dare!"

As the prince's young teacher, he wants to teach the prince benevolence, kindness and great virtue, how to be a courtier, and learn the way of being a king. If people misinterpret him and say that what he taught is the crime of disloyalty, righteousness and filial piety, he will die let go of the blame.

The prince was still angry with him after all.

The counselor who was scolded just now sneered in his heart, Shen Zhong, Shen Zhong, I didn't expect you to have today, right?

The prince lost his mood, and today's discussion was not going to be completed, so he asked them all to retreat, and under the service of his maidservant, he changed into a tight-sleeved dress and went for a walk in the countryside.

******

In the evening, a heavy rain washed the entire city of Shangjing.

The rain was fierce, and the torrential rain turned into a rain curtain, covering the world.

The ground was smashed with crackling noises, and crystal water splashed one after another.

The heavy rain lasted for two hours, until the night fell, and the rain gradually stopped.

Listening to the sound of rain is the most beautiful movement at night, but Empress Dowager Xiao didn't sleep well that night, she had a night of dreams, and when she woke up in the morning, her whole body was cool and her head was a little heavy.
