Chang Anqing

Chapter 330
It is only a few days away from New Year's Eve, and the cold wind from Shuobei is especially severe in Chang'an this year.The palace people outside the Zichen Palace had already put on the newly issued winter clothes, and when the wind and snow were whistling and intensifying, they could see faint figures from a distance.

I saw the leader wearing a moon white cloak, and the people beside him bowed their heads and carefully held umbrellas for him. It wasn't until he approached that the palace people recognized him and bowed respectfully.

"Director Yu."

Yu Dingfang, who came to the corridor, lightened his jaw, and the waiters had already put away the umbrellas and shook off the snowflakes on them.

"Is His Majesty here?"

As soon as Yu Dingfang's questioning voice came out, the thick soft curtain in front of him was opened from the inside, and Liu Shoucheng, the close internal officer, just came out of it. Seeing Yu Dingfang in front of him, he was taken aback for a moment, and then calmly saluted: "Director Yu .”

Just when Yu Dingfang responded casually, he saw Liu Shoucheng holding the soft curtain himself, turned to look behind the curtain and said, "Please, immortal."

While speaking, Yu Ding could easily see the snowy weather, but the Daoqing Immortal was wearing a thin gray-blue interlayer Taoist robe. When the wind blows at this moment, the Taoist robe flaps are flying, intertwined with his black hair, which suits him even better. It is astonishing to win people and exile immortals.

"Daoqing Immortal."

Seeing the dignified emperor's confidant ministers saluting with Daoqing, no one present was surprised, because now the world knows that even their emperor treats Daoqing immortals well, let alone others.

Seeing this, Daoqing bowed politely to Yu Dingfang, and the accompanying Xiaodao Tong Laisheng stepped forward to hold up an umbrella for him, and disappeared into the vast snowstorm.

"Boss, please."

Hearing Liu Shoucheng's voice, Yu Dingfang withdrew his gaze from Daoqing, straightened his robes, and walked in with Liu Shoucheng just now.

The hall is as warm as spring, and the smell of ambergris seems to be there, mixed with the unattainable air of an emperor, making people cautious in their steps and more cautious.

"Churen is here."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's familiar voice, Yu Dingfang didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly saluted. Seeing this, Yang Chongyuan put down the imperial brush in his hand, raised his hand and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Yu Dingfang stood up, he presented the document he had drawn out of his sleeve with both hands, and said immediately: "Your Majesty, the governor of Xiagui has sent you the post-disaster situation. Please have your Majesty review it."

Yang Chongyuan glanced at Liu Shoucheng when he heard the words, Liu Shoucheng immediately went down to pick it up, and presented it to Yang Chongyuan quickly and lightly.

Yang Chongyuan took it and opened it, his slightly worried eyes gradually eased, and he said with some satisfaction: "Nowadays, people in Xiabei have shelter, people have food and clothing, and this year's New Year's Eve can be regarded as a good one."

"This is all thanks to His Majesty's blessing."

Hearing Yu Dingfang's words, Yang Chongyuan's eyes moved slightly. Although his lips were smiling, it was not in his eyes. Instead, he glanced at the piles of documents piled up on the case and said: "These are all for the East Palace recently. For a journey, the prince has worked hard."

Yu Dingfang was a little stunned when he heard the words, but quickly echoed: "I heard that the crown prince went to Xiagui, where he ate and lived with the people. He worked hard day and night, and the people were deeply moved. They are all grateful for His Majesty's grace and the prince's virtue."

Hearing the word "virtuous", Yang Chongyuan's eyes darkened, and then he said in a neutral tone: "Then Aiqing thinks how to reward the East Palace."

How could Yu Dingfang, who always observed words and demeanor, couldn't hear the change in the emperor's words. The words "Ai Qing" and "East Palace" already showed that the emperor was unhappy at the moment.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Xiagu this time to sit in Chang'an for His Majesty and consolidate the current situation in the rear. When he is in his position and seeks his position, His Royal Highness's move is what a prince should do. The minister thinks that His Majesty had previously Brave the severe cold in Shuobei, personally conquer the Turks thousands of miles away, make great progress for me, defend the northern border for the people of our dynasty, drive away the barbarians, and avoid a disaster of life. "

As soon as these words came out, Yang Chongyuan's smile gradually resounded in the silent air, and Yang Chongyuan, who was still calm just now, grinned slightly at the corner of his lips, and said unhurriedly: "Forget it, the prince is considered meritorious this time, so follow the usual practice." It is up to you to draw up the rewards for the subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace."

"Yes."

After Yu Dingfang answered, Yang Chongyuan nodded in satisfaction, but he noticed that Yu Dingfang below seemed to be thinking about something.

"Why, what else did Ai Qing think of?"

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's question, Yu Dingfang didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately raised his head and smiled, then bowed his head and said frankly: "If you talk about meritorious deeds, I will remember that there is another person who is also worthy of the reward."

Seeing the Son of Heaven say "Oh?", motioning for himself to continue, Yu Dingfang did not hold back, and continued to add: "I heard people say that this time, Her Majesty the Empress heard that Her Majesty the Crown Prince rushed to Xiagu regardless of safety and danger, so she was worried and hesitated." , Later, Princess Yuling entered the palace just in time, and persuaded Her Highness the Empress."

Hearing Yu Dingfang's words, Yang Chongyuan's expression was calm, but his eyes changed, and the next moment he heard the following person continue: "His Royal Highness has always been loyal, filial and virtuous. At that time, I would humbly ask Her Highness the Queen for advice, because Princess Yuling is often called into the palace by the Queen, so she came up with many good ideas that even Her Highness the Queen praised."

In just a few words, the face of the emperor on the seat had gradually changed. Looking at Yu Dingfang who was still bowing his head below, Yang Chongyuan's lips became colder inadvertently, and his tone was quite ordinary.

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

Hearing this question, Yu Dingfang seemed to have not noticed the change in the emperor, and still replied: "Princess Yuling has always acted calmly and low-key. She usually chatted with Her Royal Highness and did not deliberately ask for any credit. However, His Highness the Crown Prince once boasted However, if Princess Yuling is a man, it should be my talent."

After he finished speaking, Yang Chongyuan's expression became more and more unpredictable. When his eyes fell on the application documents full of cases, the seriousness in his eyes became more and more obvious.

When Yu Dingfang slowly exited the Zichen Palace, it was as if a heavy stone was gradually removed from his heart, allowing him to barely breathe.

He understands very well what he is doing today, and he understands even more what it means.

No one knew that all the documents that were placed on the emperor's case to plead for merit for the Eastern Palace were all ordered by him.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The most difficult thing to do in this world is not the monarch and minister, not the father and son, but the prince.

Those who are incompetent cannot sit in this position, but those who are too promising will not win the emperor's trust and satisfaction, but will only get suspicion and fear.

Because of this, such a pair of heavenly family monarchs and ministers in the cloak of father and son are the most difficult to get along with in the world.

And from ancient times to the present, there are not many people who can die well when they sit on the prince's seat.

"Boss, go slowly."

Hearing Liu Shoucheng's voice behind him, Yu Dingfang came back to his senses. Instead of nodding his jaw and smiling, he just walked towards the way he came, and every step was difficult.

But this room, when Liu Shoucheng returned to the hall, he saw the emperor sitting there alone, flipping through the documents. Slowly closed the document, got up and walked to the charcoal stove, it seemed that he was just baking his hands, but his heart was already churning with turbulent waves.

The prince is virtuous, but only virtuous.

He was away on an expedition, and even if he handed over the great authority to the prince, his son did not have the ability to control the world at all, and instead reduced political affairs to a matter that could be decided by two women in a few words.

If he waits for a hundred years, what will the world be like?
The rooster starts the morning, this is the most taboo of all emperors, and it is what he has always been most guarded against.

But Yang Yan was born with a cowardly and indecisive character, and he listened to the Queen Li's words very much, and he and Princess Yuling were childhood sweethearts.

When he was there, Yang Yan already showed signs of being controlled by these two people.

Does he want to turn a blind eye and hope that this son will change his temperament and become a real emperor in the future?

Thinking of this, Yang Chongyuan's face gradually darkened, as if filled with a storm that would pour down at any time.

The power of the Li family is intertwined, and there is Zhao Yi behind it as support. If one day the queen joins the Li family to control the prince and turn the prince into a puppet...

Could it be that he wants to see the Yang family ruined in the hands of that naughty son and become a woman's plaything.
