Lonely non-good minister

After explaining, he cleared his throat and got up: "Prepare, go to Jiao Huamen."

Changde immediately went to make arrangements.

Song Yuan was taken with him on the dragon chariot, and Song Yuan, who was escorting the Imperial Army, looked familiar and guessed that these were Emperor Taikang's confidantes. Song Jun could control the Imperial Army in the palace, but he could not control the personal guards around Emperor Taikang.

When they arrived at Jiaohua Gate, the ministers who got the news immediately came out to welcome them. When they saw Song Yuan following Emperor Taikang, their surprise flashed across their faces, and they had no other reaction.

"I heard that you are discussing the matter of military pay, I will come and listen to it myself." Emperor Taikang staggered into it.

It was only then that Song Yuan noticed that his movements were slower than the previous two years, his back was more rickety, and the weight of his whole body was on the crutch in his hand, and it was very strenuous to walk step by step.

He was old, really old.

He is already an old man who has passed through seventy years, and the crown prince and Zhongshan King are also old. His longevity did not make their father and son reconcile, on the contrary, each of them gave birth to a lot of jealousy.

Great Wei has had three consecutive generations of emperors with half a hundred emperors ascending the throne. After ascending the throne, they not only have to deal with political affairs, but also deal with suppressing their children and grandchildren. If it weren’t for the great Wei’s military strength, the southern countries would have come north to kill them. Song Yuan could almost foresee it. Regardless of who ascends the throne, the crown prince or King Zhongshan, what they have to face is the struggle for power among their sons.

No one knows how long Wei Jiangshan can be tossed about.

Followed into the room, the ministers who discussed continued to argue in front of Emperor Taikang, but Song Yuan was completely indifferent to listening. She stood quietly beside Emperor Taikang, vigilant to everyone around her, in case they were not good for Emperor Taikang.

"That's the truth." Emperor Taikang said: "But the soldiers were born and died, and they can't deduct their income. A few months ago, the Sikong Mansion checked the treasury and reported false accounts to the treasury. Now it can be counted as a clear deficit?"

Sikong hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, according to the current accounts, the deficit is huge, as much as 100 million taels."

The officials of the Sikong Mansion were all tremblingly waiting for Emperor Taikang to punish him. They knew Emperor Taikang too well, and if such a big mistake happened, they were afraid that another group of people would have trouble.

"The deficit is too great." Emperor Taikang did not get angry. His health was deteriorating and he couldn't bear the rage. Moreover, today is not the time to get angry: "Check carefully where the deficit is, and find out the money. It will disappear for no reason."

Sikong was greatly surprised, and immediately agreed after recovering.

"Okay, these few days are not peaceful, don't stay in the palace for a long time, go out of the palace earlier." Emperor Taikang looked at Song Yuan: "You should go out of the palace together."

Song Yuan understood that he came to Jiaohuamen specifically to prove his innocence, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, so he obediently responded.

"Wei Wei stay here first, I still have something to tell you." Emperor Taikang sat without moving, and the ministers saw this and took leave one by one.

On the way out of the palace, Sikong deliberately walked up to Song Yuan and asked, "Why did you enter the palace today, young master?"

"He entered the palace by order." Song Yuan smiled slightly.

Sikong is a smart man, he understood after turning his eyes twice, when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Song Jun was indeed waiting, and stopped Song Yuan in public.

"What is the commander doing?" Sikong asked first, and the other ministers also looked at him.

Song Jun only stared at Song Yuan: "Your lords can leave, but he can't."

"The ninth son is the grandson of the emperor who is about to be crowned. It is not in accordance with the etiquette to stay in the palace for a long time, and the emperor let the ninth son out of the palace in front of the ministers. Is the commander trying to resist the order?" Sikong stood in front of Song Yuan directly.

Song Jun frowned slightly and hesitated. Song Shi asked him to stop Song Yuan from coming out of the palace. Although he didn't understand why he did this, he could hear Song Shi's words.

Seeing that he was unwilling to give in, several ministers were also angry. He was blatantly provoking Emperor Taikang's authority. As a minister, how could he bear it?

When the conflict was on the verge of breaking out, the guards came running quickly, jumped off their horses at the gate of the palace and galloped up, ignoring the obstruction of the imperial guards and shouting loudly: "My lord, the eldest son has arrived."

Brother is here?

Song Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, she passed Sikong, and gestured toward Song Jun: "My elder brother is here, why don't you try to stop me?"

Song Chun's deterrent to Song Jun was still in place, he hesitated, but before he could figure it out, Song Yuan passed him and left the palace, and Sikong and the others also left the palace with stinky faces. His move was guessed.

Because it was a special period, they didn't intend to visit Song Chun's door to say hello. They said some polite words to Song Yuan and then went home.

Song Chun was in the Ming Hall in the front yard. Wei Yan, who was recuperating at home, was telling him everything that had happened these days. Song Chun listened carefully. At his hand was the file that Song Yuan borrowed to read. He had already read it. After that, I understood the ins and outs of the whole case.

"Brother." Song Yuan rushed into the house, saw him, and couldn't hold back the grievance at once. She waited day and night for a month, but there was no news from Zhongshan King. Instead, it was Song Chun who rushed over from the northwest, which was hard to let go. She is not wronged.

At the critical moment, the elder brother was indeed more reliable than the real father.

Song Chun looked at her, relaxed his slightly frowning brows, and put on a smile: "It's not a big deal, don't be afraid."

Song Yuan didn't say a word, the guards beside her couldn't help complaining: "My lord, the son entered the palace according to the order, and was searched by Song Jun, this is too bullying."

"Search?" Song Chun also expressed his dissatisfaction, and Wei Yan was even more angry when he heard it. When did his son suffer this kind of grievance?
Song Yuan said: "I'm afraid something big will happen in the palace, even calling me into the palace is fake, the emperor let me out of the palace, don't bear the crime of regicide for others, and sent me to Jiaohua gate on purpose, Prove my innocence, brother, the emperor is very dangerous now."

Song Chun pondered for a while: "I will arrange someone to protect the emperor." He knew very well that the crown prince who was eager to ascend the throne to blame Song Yuan would not wait, so Emperor Taikang was still very dangerous.

What he said was very certain, and Song Yuan believed it right away, and didn't even question whether Song Chun had this ability.

She was relieved, and Song Chun continued: "You haven't received any news from Zhongshan for so long. Someone must have intercepted the connection between Zhongshan and Jingzhao. I have sent someone directly to Zhongshan to check. What is it?" It will take a few days to find out why.”

"Okay." Song Yuan was not in a hurry anymore, Song Chun's appearance made her find the backbone, and all worries disappeared inexplicably.

Song Chun looked at Wei Yan and the others, but didn't let them avoid them, and said bluntly: "These princes are now stranded halfway under the pretext, which shows their wolfish ambitions. I have made arrangements. If they dare to act recklessly, they will be killed in one fell swoop." Get rid of them to prevent future troubles, and as for the East Palace, we need to keep them safe until the father arrives, and when necessary, we need to cooperate from inside to outside."
