The Queen Mother said firmly: "Even if he is from the Shi family, he has been given the imperial surname. Moreover, he is the son of Shu Yun. What is the difference between him and the royal family?"
"My Queen Mother also asked what the difference is. Since she asked this, she must know deep down that there is a significant difference. My Royal Brother has many concerns. If the country is really handed over to Chi An, then in the future, will Da Jing's surname be Shi or Long?"
Long Yi spoke slowly, and his words already had the aura of an emperor.
The Queen Mother's figure shook, and she finally stopped talking.
Long Yi reached out to help her, but she still pushed him away. He then ordered the palace maid to send the empress dowager back to the harem.
When I turned around, I saw Long Wenyu and Eunuch Song coming back.
"Go to your royal uncle quickly," he ordered.
Fu Ciyi nodded and strode in.
At this moment, someone in the palace was distributing mourning clothes.
Fu Ciyi also put on mourning clothes with the help of the young eunuch.
As he knelt beside Yan Funing, he suddenly thought of another thorny problem, which was revenge.
After Long Yi became emperor, it became increasingly difficult to avenge his hatred.
If Long Yi was a wise ruler, he would have taken revenge.
There are a lot of problems at hand. I might as well let Long Chi'an succeed to the throne. When Long Chi'an takes action to kill him, he will have a legitimate reason to rebel.
In that case, everything is handled neatly.
Now, this is really not the situation he wants to face.
Yan Funing noticed that he looked worried, but she didn't want to ask, after all, there were too many people kneeling together at the moment.
More than half an hour later, Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian arrived in military uniforms.
The two men first knelt before the emperor and kowtowed.
Then they went to a corner to talk with Fu Ciyi.
Pang Gaozhuo reported: "The rebels have been brought under control."
Yan Bojian also said, "Long Yaodong's chest was pierced, but his heart was not injured. However, he is seriously injured and probably won't live for many days. He and his biological father have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
"Okay, we'll clear out the Longfeng lineage overnight." Fu Ciyi gave the order.
To avoid any more nightmares.
Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian both bowed in agreement and left one after another.
It was already past midnight.
Upon hearing of Long Yaodong's current situation and the news that the Longfeng lineage would be purged overnight, the former Second Prince loudly proposed, "We have been cherished by our father and served as princes for many years. We understand that he wishes to abolish our status as princes and princesses. Please allow us, Uncle Jin, to keep vigil for him!"
The so-called purge means killing them all.
If they didn't express their understanding at this moment, he didn't know what the consequences would be, and he didn't dare to think about it.
The most important thing is that they have to put on an act for the new emperor.
So that the new emperor won’t take action against them in the future.
In fact, from another perspective, my father is also protecting them.
Once they lose their status as princes and princesses, they will no longer have any excuse to have any extravagant ambitions for the throne, and Long Yi will not target them.
As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers.
This is probably the reason.
He figured this out, and so did the other princes and princesses, so they all expressed their willingness to keep vigil for their father.
In response, Long Yi nodded: "Your filial piety is evident. I approve."
It was too late at night, so he ordered the rest of the people to return home first and come back after the mourning hall was set up in the palace tomorrow.
The ministers then took their leave.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing were also allowed to return to the palace first.
In the Fu family carriage, Yan Funing lifted the curtain and looked at the palace gate. At this moment, many soldiers at the palace gate were holding torches, making it as bright as day.
The blood and water spread on the ground, which showed that the situation was very intense.
A cold voice came from my ear: "It's just a small scene, no need to be surprised."
“Is this still a small scene?”
Yan Funing pointed outside the car, and the man grabbed her hand, and the curtain suddenly fell.
"Don't look at it."
"I won't watch anymore. Long Yaodong's family has brought this upon themselves." Yan Funing raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her. "My husband looks a little off. What are you worried about?"
"you guess."
"My uncle once tried to obstruct our marriage, and I didn't understand it at the time. Later, as I interacted more with him, I realized that being an emperor requires checks and balances in many areas. For example, ministers can be more directly divided into loyal and treacherous. It's not that treacherous ministers are completely useless; sometimes treacherous ministers are needed to check and balance loyal ministers, and loyal ministers are also needed to contain treacherous ministers' wrongdoings. A good emperor must be comprehensive, and no matter what aspect, he must achieve balance and mutual checks and balances. This helps him control the situation and firmly grasp the supreme imperial power in his hands."
Fu Ciyi smiled: "If you were a man, you might be my opponent."
"You mean I will be like my second brother?"
"That's about right."
"No, my second brother actually admires you in his heart. Don't you realize that he fully supports you?"
"But you still haven't guessed what I'm worried about?"
"Let me think about it." Yan Funing pondered and said, "It's mainly because too many things happened today."
"Thanks a lot."
She entered the palace early in the morning to give her uncle time to explain various matters.
"What hardship?" Yan Funing suddenly thought of something and lowered her voice, "It's becoming increasingly difficult to uncover the truth behind the fire and poisoning."
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Now that he is the emperor, it will be even harder for me to take revenge."
"My husband, there may have been some conspiracy behind what happened back then, and the King of Jin may have been kept in the dark."
"No, I saw him at the fire scene with my own eyes, looking on coldly."
"My dear, the situation seems to be getting complicated. But you think we don't need to live with him anymore. He will definitely move into the palace when he becomes the new emperor."
Yan Funing grabbed his hand with her backhand, but she couldn't grab the whole hand, only two fingers.
"Where's Mother?"
"My mother is blind, so I have to see her every day. Naturally, she lives with us. As for what happened back then, I always feel like I'm getting closer and closer to the truth."
Fu Ciyi held her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead: "It's great to have you. You always soothe my heart."
Ease his anxiety.
He doesn't worry about other things.
He was really anxious about revenge.
Suddenly, the couple's figures shook, and Fu Ciyi quickly hugged Yan Funing tightly.
The carriage stopped suddenly.
"What's going on?" Fu Ciyi said in a deep voice.
Fu Jiang said to the insider, "Sir, it was the second son of the Yan family who hijacked our carriage."
"Second brother must have something urgent."
Yan Funing came out of Fu Ciyi's arms.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Yan Xinghe strode in.
He sat down straight away: "This is a big problem."
"What is the problem that Second Brother is talking about?" Yan Funing asked directly.
"Prince Jin and the Yan family are at odds. If he becomes the new emperor, how can our Yan family still have a good life?" Yan Xinghe said bluntly, "Brother-in-law, the problems you face are not small. I'm afraid the truth behind that time will become increasingly difficult to uncover."
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Please tell my grandfather and father-in-law that as long as I am here, the Yan family will be safe."
"That's what I want you to say. My sister is your wife. For her, you must protect my Yan family. Of course, by the same token, my Yan family will also protect you, Long Wenyu."
