330 accident
"princess!"
"Go and invite the doctor here!"
The room was suddenly in chaos. When Dr. Bai was invited, Yulan had already woken up. The maid helped her into the inner room. Dr. Bai carried the medicine box into the inner room. Seeing the princess's eyes, she was choked and silent, and her emotions were very unstable, she was shocked.
It has been more than a year since he had been in contact with Yulan, and he also understood Yulan's temper a little. She has always been gentle and kind, but she is very opinionated. Dr. Bai has always respected the princess very much. This is the first time she has seen her look like this.
Dr. Bai took his pulse and couldn't help but look a little strange. He wanted to speak, but he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say such words in the current atmosphere. After considering it, he still said, "Princess, you are happy!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned. Yulan was also stunned. Her hand couldn't help but touched her lower abdomen. They had been hoping to have another child, but they never thought that they would be pregnant under this situation. Yulan's hand couldn't help but stretched to her lower abdomen, and said anxiously: "Doctor, how long has the child been?"
"From the pulse, it should be less than two months!" Dr. Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Princess, your foundation is weak. I have taken tonics in the past two years. Although my body has improved, my fetus is still young now. You must not be too sad!"
"I understand. Don't worry, I will give birth to this child well for the sake of the prince." But after saying that, two lines of clear tears could not help but fall.
No matter how much the price she pays, she must protect this hard-earned child.
If the prince really dies unfortunately, the child in Yulan's belly is the prince's posthumous son, and she must give birth to a son for the prince!
After seeing Dr. Bai off, Yulan called Ma Fu in and told her that she was pregnant. Ma Fu was also surprised and happy when he heard this. Thinking that Ye Yichen would be very happy if he was still there, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Yulan, however, told him solemnly: "I have told Doctor Bai not to tell him. This matter must be kept strictly confidential and not to spread it to the outside world." Ye Yichen did not know that he was in a high position for so many years, and he could not help offend many enemies. The money fell and scattered. If people knew that Yulan was pregnant with his posthumous child, maybe someone would have malicious intentions to use some conspiracies against her, and it would be better to give birth to the child quietly.
Ma Fu had this intention, and he had been immersed in the officialdom for a long time. He knew the tricks more clearly than Yulan. He advised the princess to rest well, and he was taking care of everything outside, so he went down to arrange things.
The news of Ye Yichen's attack was originally a very confidential matter, but somehow it soon spread throughout the capital. Yulan held a last trace of expectation in his heart and waited for Ye Fengqi's return with concern, hoping that he could find Ye Yichen back.
Not only was the Jin Palace nervous, but the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was also inexplicably depressed. For a moment, all the eyes of the court were concentrated in the Jin Palace. Countless people came to find out the news for various reasons, and Yulan closed the door to thank the guests, but no one was seen, and she didn't even see the people from her parents' home.
She really has no strength to deal with anyone now. For the sake of the child in her belly, she forced herself not to think about it, forced herself to rest on time, study, do needlework, and arrange every day's work full, so that she does not have the energy to think about it.
Half a month later, Ye Fengqi came to the scene: he led people to search the areas where the accident occurred, and even sneaked into Shu Han to search, but found no clues.
In other words, Ye Yichen was not found!
When Yulan heard the news, she locked herself in the room and cried for two hours. Then she wiped away her tears. She had to stay strong and there was a little life in her belly.
The court's reaction was very intriguing. Just a few days after the news came back, Ye Minzhao immediately summoned the ministers and announced the news of Ye Yichen's death impatiently. Some ministers raised questions but did not find Ye Yichen's corpse. It seemed that they should not have concluded in such a hurry that the Regent died like this! However, Ye Minzhao was denounced.
Everyone understood the attitude of the little emperor!
The little emperor looked sore in the hall, with tears in his eyes: "The Regent worked hard and worked hard for the country for many years and died suddenly. I feel deeply mourning..." In court, in order to mourn the Regent's great achievements, he stopped working for three days and approved the red pen to change to blue pen on the 27th. He also urgently ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss all the ceremonies of the Regent's affairs in detail, and submitted the memorial.
When all the officials knelt down and shouted "Listen to the Decree", they realized that before that, when the Regent was still alive, the teenage emperor was just a nominal monarch and had no actual power. All the decrees in the court were from the Regent, and now no one can stop him from regaining the supreme imperial power.
At this moment, Ye Minzhao, who was sitting on the throne of the emperor, felt the feeling of being in power for the first time, and felt extremely happy.
Ye Yichen's funeral was extremely sad and honorable. He ordered the Prince of Jin's mansion to set up a mourning hall, and all civil and military officials came to the spirit to pay tribute in batches. Ye Minzhao personally picked up the pen and wrote an eulogy for Ye Yichen.
Yulan still doesn't want to believe that Ye Yichen died like this. She is a woman who cannot inherit the political legacy left by Ye Yichen, and can only passively accept all these arrangements against her will.
The King of Jin's mansion could no longer hide his guests, and a group of civil and military officials came to pay their respects, and they came and went. Ye Minwen was still young and could not establish a house, so Yulan could only wear mourning clothes and thanked them one by one.
"The emperor is here!" The eunuch dragged in with a long voice, and the mourning hall suddenly became turbulent. No matter how big the regent is, he is just a minister. What kind of honor is the emperor who comes to worship in person?
Ye Minzhao walked in in white, his face full of pain, and there was already a kneeling in the mourning hall, "Welcome to the Emperor!"
"Get up!" Ye Minzhao said, but his eyes were staring at Yu Lan, who was kneeling on the ground wearing a linen mourning uniform. Seeing that she was already shaking, the little emperor couldn't help but feel a little painful. He threw his eyes over, and the little Hanzi, who was serving with his close body, hurried forward and carefully helped Yu Lan up.
Ye Minzhao's eyes fell on Yu Lan's face, with deep care in his eyes. Then he waved his hand and said to everyone who was still kneeling: "Get up!" His tone was full of majesty.
He personally lit three incense sticks in front of the spirit. The little emperor sat down on the main seat and said to Yulan with a kind look: "The princess is mourning for the change!"
Yulan looked at Ye Minzhao with cold eyes without any warmth. It took him a long time to speak slowly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your care, Your Majesty is so kind, and the palace is so grateful!" This was full of official voice and full of estrangement.
When Ye Yichen died, Ye Minzhao was the legitimate emperor. There was no longer any restraint in the court. He was the supreme emperor of the Nine Five. Who dared not to give him face? Unexpectedly, he encountered a soft nail in Yulan.
He had been furious for a long time when it was changed to others, but he couldn't get angry with Yulan. He had to follow the idea: "The Regent went suddenly and the country suddenly lost the assistant minister. I feel sad. Princess, don't worry, the Regent is a hero of our Great Chu, and I will never treat him badly after his life. I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to draft a posthumous title of sixteen characters, and his spiritual throne will be worthy of the Taimiao. As for his throne, after the first seven, I will ask Minwen to attack the prince..."
He spoke endlessly about his grand theories, full of confidence, and seemed to be a good emperor who cared about his subjects. Yulan just listened on the side without saying a word. Times changed, Ye Minzhao changed too much, and she could no longer regard him as the little boy who had been close to him.
"I'm a little tired!" Yu Lan suddenly interrupted him ruthlessly, "If the emperor allows me, I want to go back and take a rest."
"Bold! Is there anyone who talks to the emperor like this?" The eunuch general who came with the little emperor shouted with a pinched voice.
Yulan was already kneeling on the ground, "I said nothing. If the emperor is angry, then please deal with me according to the law!"
Ye Minzhao was also a little embarrassed, but scolded the eunuch, saying, "Shut up! Don't look at where this is, where can you, a dog slave, interject?"
The eunuch originally wanted to sell it to the emperor, but he didn't know that he hadn't flattered him well. He patted the horse's legs and knelt on the ground like a green onion. "Your Majesty!"
Ye Minzhao didn't look at him, but ordered Xiao Hanzi: "You are fine, help the Regent Princess go down to rest! If there is any problem, don't come back to see me!"
Xiao Hanzi came over and helped her out of the mourning hall. After walking a long distance, he spoke: "The emperor is already the emperor. If you feel uncomfortable, come to the servants. You must not talk to the emperor like this anymore!" The little emperor has been increasing in recent years, and he cannot stand others' disobedience and contradict him the most. Xiao Hanzi kindly reminded Yu Lan when he remembered his friendship back then.
Yulan could naturally hear it, but sighed and said, "Thank you, Eunuch, Xiao Han, for reminding me! I will pay attention in the future!"
Back at the main courtyard, Xiao Hanzi went back to work. Yulan and Yi were lying on the bed, but they couldn't sleep. At this moment, they suddenly heard footsteps coming. Yulan thought that the maid had come in, so she said, "No need for anyone to serve you now, you can go out first!"
There was no movement there. Yulan was shocked and sat up suddenly. A beautiful boy with a bright smile stood at the head of the bed. Who else could it be if it were Ye Minzhao?
After Yu Lan was surprised, she felt angry: "How can you enter my boudoir at will!"
Ye Minzhao's face was filled with a heartbroken expression. He felt that Yu Lan's words hurt him a little. "Is there a king's land under the world? I am the emperor, and I can't go anywhere! Besides, when will we be so distant between our siblings!"
Yu Lan suppressed the anger in her heart and said coldly: "Master, I want to remind you that in front of you is your sixteenth aunt Regent Princess, not your sister!"
"You are angry with me!"
"How dare I!"
Ye Minzhao sighed, "I'm here today, there's no other meaning. Uncle Sixteen died, and I feel heartbroken too! I just want to tell you, no matter whether I am an emperor or not, I will still treat you as my dearest sister as before!" He has changed "I" to "I"!
"But you treated me like this! It made me really sad!"
Yulan looked at him coldly and said for a long time: "Since you said that, I will ask you, there was no exact news of the prince's death. Why did you hold a funeral for him in such a grand manner!"
"He is dead!" Ye Minzhao looked at Yu Lan, and his voice was very affirmative. "You and I know him well, don't you? If he is still alive, he will definitely ask someone to send messages for such a long time. Even if he is not afraid of you for worrying about him, he will definitely be worried that I will take the opportunity to seize his military and political power! There is no news about him yet, which means that he must be dead!"
Yulan's face suddenly turned white. She had always used the saying "The prince is still alive" to deceive herself, but she knew that Ye Minzhao was telling the truth. If Ye Yichen was still alive, with his ability, he would definitely send someone to send me a message.
She sat on the bed powerlessly, her whole body trembled violently. Ye Minzhao walked over, as if she wanted to pat her back. Yulan suddenly woke up: "What are you going to do? Don't come over!"
Ye Minzhao stopped awkwardly, "I don't mean anything else!"
Yulan said angrily, "Do you really don't know or fake?" You, the emperor of Chu, entered my vassal's boudoir. If this is said, do you want me to live?"
Ye Minzhao said domineeringly: "Don't worry, I have already told them. Who dares to go out and say a word? I have peeled them!"
"Now I am discouraged and just want to spend a few days peacefully. I beg your Majesty to be kind to you, so let me go!" Yulan stood up and knelt at Ye Minzhao's feet, and tears could no longer be allowed to flow.
"Oh, okay! I'm reckless! You... have a good rest. I'm going back now." He originally wanted to say another sentence, "I'll see you in a few days." However, seeing Yulan's emotions so excited, he finally didn't say it, but turned around and left her bedroom.
Yu Lan lies on the bed, tears falling like rain, murmured: "Prince, what should I do?"
In the next month, Ye Minzhao used dazzling techniques to control the military and political power at the fastest speed. First, he didn't know what means he used to make the cabinet chief minister Shen Ge Lao return to his hometown to Rongyang, and then he did not let the cabinet second assistant Ma take over the position of the capital. His candidate was Ding Ge Lao, but whether he could be the cabinet chief minister depends on his qualifications and prestige. Although the emperor could choose, it was always a bit disagreeable with the law. So he used a move to court to let the cabinet ministers and the six ministers and nine ministers elect the chief ministers, and finally, he made a private game to compromise. In the end, Ding Ge Lao became the chief minister without expectation.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Minzhao signed an edict to transfer Ye Yichen's hard-core supporters from important positions one by one and put their own confidants in the series. This series of changes was too fast, and when the ministers came back, everything was settled.
Ye Minzhao has firmly controlled the government.
If Ye Yichen is an indisputable military genius, then Ye Minzhao is an indisputable political genius. He is a veteran in power and tricks, and he is quick, accurate and ruthless in his actions, allowing the ministers to deeply understand what high-level power control is. Those complex conspiracies are like art in his hands.
He performed a major operation on the civil servant system and made major adjustments, but no military general moved. Just when the court officials thought that because of the tense war in front, the little emperor was afraid of shaking the foundation of the army, so he waited to put his confidants in the army after the war, the fact once again exceeded their expectations.
Ye Yichen has been in charge of the army for more than ten years and has installed countless confidants in the military system. Generals promoted by him have been everywhere. When Ye Yichen was in the midst of seven, these people finally gathered in front of the prince's spirit.
The stars of the Jin Palace shone brightly on this day, but when they finished worshiping Ye Yichen and walked out of the gate of the palace, they found that the entire palace had been surrounded by thousands of imperial guards. The generals who had close ties with Ye Yichen and were willing to serve the prince were captured by Ye Minzhao, and they were all captured and threw themselves into the Heavenly Prison.
No one expected Ye Minzhao to act so decisively.
At the same time, Ye Minzhao announced that he would have a grand wedding next month and made Miss Shen Family, the fifth lady of the Duke of England. Then a group of generals and officials from the Duke of England took over important positions in the army.
Ye Yichen was finally buried after 49 days of stopping his spirits. During this period, Yulan lost weight and his chin became sharp. What made her feel the most painful was that the child cried and asked her for his father every day, but she didn't know how to explain it to her.
A few days later, Ye Minzhao held a grand wedding in the Forbidden City. Not only did Ye Minzhao marry Miss Shen Wu as the empress, but the empress dowager also personally chose two concubines for him, one was the legitimate granddaughter of Tang Shengzong, the Marquis of Yan'an, and the other was the legitimate granddaughter of General Zheng, who was respected in the army.
Ye Minzhao's move was naturally to consolidate his power and better control the army through marriage. However, Yulan was relieved after knowing it. Her current identity is a widow, and she can no longer participate in such matters as the emperor's wedding.
