Hearing the princess's sobs, Xu Heyun stopped smiling and said softly,""The princess has no choice, but I, Xu Heyun, have no choice either.”
Xu He Yun went around Princess Sui Zhu, who was blocking the way in the middle of the street, and got into the carriage. He said to the coachman,""Let's go back to the Horse Posthouse."
Night spreads over the land,
Xu Heyun, who had returned to the posthouse, was a little tired. After taking a bath, he went to bed early.
The next day.
Xu Heyun woke up from his sleep and yawned.
After washing up, Xu He Yun left for the morning court session.
However, what he did not know was that today's morning court in Luoyang was unprecedentedly grand.
In the Daliang Dynasty, the court meetings, especially the morning court meetings, were largely a direct reflection of the political situation in the Daliang Dynasty. The number of people participating in the court meetings was often an invisible evaluation of certain important officials.
Apart from the civil and military officials who had to attend the morning court session every day, there were three types of people who had the right to attend the court session but did not have to.
The first was the royal family who shared the same surname as the country. The second was the noble families who had rendered meritorious service to Daliang and obtained hereditary titles. The last was the elderly officials who did not need to attend the morning court.
And today, even the royal family, noble families, and senior officials had all appeared.
It could be seen how grand the scene was.
Although it had suddenly rained last night and the weather was terrible, this morning's court meeting could be said to be full of talents.
The autumn rain was continuous, and many roads in Luoyang were muddy. For some officials who had to cross half of the capital to attend the morning court, if it was in the past, they would probably curse a few words on horseback or in the carriage.
But today, these people were in high spirits and showed no signs of fatigue.
The sky was still dark, and the mansion was brightly lit. The servant had already prepared a carriage, and the nobles and ministers in yellow clothes entered the carriage one after another, heading towards the Imperial Palace.
Some of the officials who had the habit of reading in the carriage before the morning court session flipped the pages of the book absentmindedly. From time to time, they would lift the window curtain to check the address or directly ask the groom how long it would take to arrive.
The officials of the imperial court who knew each other even sat in the carriage and chatted.
Tang Zhengyi was an old official who held an important position in the court. He looked at Chen Hongfang, who was sitting opposite the carriage, and said,""Your old coachman has finally resigned?”
Chen Hongfang, who was afraid of the cold in autumn, reached out and rolled up his sleeves.
"If that's the case, why don't you dare to speak your mind?" Tang Zhengyi laughed.”
"After so many years, I'm used to it." Chen Hongfang's expression was cold.”
"That's right. Who hasn't gotten used to it after all these years?" Tang Zhengyi said in a daze. Perhaps we're old, so old that even the emperor thinks we're useless.”
Hearing this, Chen Hongfang said in a hoarse voice,""At first, I had some complaints about the previous emperor's actions, but after so many years, I felt at ease. To be honest, in the past, when he went out, even if he knew that there was a spy watching him, he didn't feel uncomfortable. Now that the Emperor has withdrawn the spies, what do you think, Brother Tang?”
" Brother Chen," Tang Zhengyi sneered," I'm not an inexperienced official. Of course, I'm just like you. I'm uncomfortable, very uncomfortable." In fact, it was better for both sides to know that His Majesty was monitoring us, and we did not hide. Now that a groom had left on the surface, would the residence secretly have more servants and maidservants?”
Chen Hongfang, who had always been known for his reticence in Luoyang, smiled playfully." Brother Tang, do you think that the Emperor's magnanimity is inferior to the previous Emperor's because of this?”
"Don't you think so?" Tang Zhengyi frowned.”
Chen Hongfang laughed it off and did not respond.
Everyone had a scale in their hearts.
How the former Emperor of Daliang treated his subjects, and how the current Emperor treated his subjects, one could easily tell. There was no need to say anything more.
Chen Hongfang shrunk his neck and asked in confusion,""Is Xu Xiao getting old? How could it be so absurd? He was willing to send his son to the capital as a hostage.”
Tang Zhengyi shook his head.""Heh, it's not just you. I can't figure it out either.”
"Who knows what Xu Xiao is thinking, but don't forget, the Yan Bei King's mansion still has Li Xing Zhou.”
At the mention of Li Xing Zhou, Chen Hongfang seemed to have recalled something and sighed in his heart."By the way, I've never heard of Xu Xiao and Xu Heyun before. What about you?”
In fact, Tang Zhengyi had been troubled by this problem recently. Before this, he only knew that Xu Xiao's son was a lustful and lustful person. He was Xu Qinian, the heir to the throne who preached to everyone in the capital.
Xu Heyun, the second son of the King of Yan, had never been heard of before, nor had he shown himself. It was only a few months ago when Xu Heyun led his army to the Barren State that everyone began to pay attention to him. Now, the capital was talking about the second son of the King of Yan.
Tang Zhengyi shrugged and said with a confused look,""I don't know, just like you.”
"If Xu Heyun hadn't trod the Barren State, I wouldn't have known that Xu Xiao had such a son.”
Chen Hongfang nodded his head in praise."I didn't expect this Xu Heyun to be so fierce. He doesn't lose out to his father's reputation!”
" That's right," Tang Zhengyi chimed in." He's young, but he's brave and brave. Last time, he took the lead and charged into Fan Kuai's cavalry.”
Chen Hongfang seemed to be asleep. His eyes were lowered and his lips moved slightly."Once in the Barren State, once in Quanzhou, I took the lead every time. If he was given more time, Yan Bei would probably be very different from how it was now.”
"Haha, when the news of Fan Kuai reached the capital, the expressions of those civil and military officials were really interesting!”Tang Zhengyi also smiled and said. Now that there was no spy from the Li family around, he could speak freely.
Chen Hongfang also laughed lightly." Especially those scholars who have always been in the capital. They look like they want to eat the Xu family up. It's really infuriating and funny."”
"Right now, the capital is a chaotic place. Other than us old ministers who have been following the previous emperor, how many people know that Xu Xiao's name and identity as a king with a different surname were actually killed?”
Tang Zhengyi recalled that Daliang was only a small country among dozens of countries. The two people in the carriage were also the first to follow the former emperor. They naturally watched Xu Xiao grow from a soldier to a lieutenant, and finally destroyed many countries, successfully helping Daliang gain a foothold in the Nine Regions.
However, he did not dare to say these words out loud. If it was a joke from before, he would at most be made to suffer. At their age, they no longer cared.
However, if word of this got out, all nine families might be killed.
"With this son of Xu Xiao's, today's morning court will be lively!”
Tang Zhengyi said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
In the past, as long as Xu Xiao was in the capital, there was no lack of liveliness.
Now that his son had come to the capital, it seemed to be very lively.
