It is said that being a wise ruler is difficult, but isn’t it also difficult to be a foolish ruler?
In just a moment, Wei Yunyi had come up with several ideas.
I just need to summarize the actions of the rulers of the previous dynasties, such as the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the eunuchs usurping power, the obsession with alchemy, etc., and then the matter will be done, it's a piece of cake.
If all else fails, learn from Sun Shiwan, the God of Chariots of Gaoliang River, the God of War of Tumu Fort and others, and lead the army in person.
Then the tyrant king’s power will come in droves, right?
Wei Yunyi couldn't help but praise his own wit.
But...where do I start?
Squeak~
Just as he was thinking seriously, the door of the bedroom opened.
A young eunuch in blue entered, knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you."
Queen Mother?
Wei Yunyi was stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought.
The current empress dowager's surname was Sun, and she was born into a wealthy family in Yan area in the northern border.
But the other party was not the biological mother of the previous life. The real biological mother of the previous life was the first empress of the previous emperor.
Just because of the difficult labor, she eventually died of hemorrhage before and after giving birth.
This Empress Dowager Sun became the successor of the late emperor.
And in the original work.
Wei Yunyi has always believed that Empress Dowager Sun was largely responsible for his biological mother's death, which has led to a bad relationship between the two sides.
Especially in the middle period, even the ceremony of paying respects was waived, and only after the other party passed away did they reluctantly show up.
From this we can see that the original owner was very resentful towards Empress Dowager Sun.
Now the other party suddenly invites me over.
Wei Yunyi felt very surprised.
Could it be...
Is it about that?
He suddenly remembered, but was not sure, so he decided to wait and see what happened.
Because I found in my memory that person seemed to have entered the palace today.
"Go tell the Queen Mother that I will be there soon." Wei Yunyi stood up immediately.
I have to say, it feels good to be an emperor.
He had just finished saying that.
The next moment.
Dozens of beautiful young palace maids walked into the bedroom door.
Then, with their service, Wei Yunyi changed into casual clothes and sat on the dragon chariot to go to the Cining Palace.
In front, behind, and on both sides of the dragon chariot, in addition to the accompanying eunuchs, there were also imperial guards armed with swords and wearing armor, which was quite grand.
It was the beginning of spring, a time of rebirth. Not only were green plants sprouting and white flowers about to bloom within the palace, but along the way, magnificent palaces and towers abounded, each gleaming with ingenuity.
But before he could fully appreciate it, the dragon chariot stopped, obviously reaching its destination.
Then, accompanied by a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Wei Yunyi walked straight in.
"The emperor is here."
In the main hall of Cining Palace, a beautiful woman in elegant palace dress sat at the top.
Behind him, several palace maids were serving him, gently waving their fans.
Even though Empress Dowager Sun was already in her forties, she had given birth to children.
But because of years of pampering and proper conditioning.
Therefore, her appearance is no less beautiful than when she was young.
In addition, the people of Yan are tough.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Sun had a wildness that ordinary women did not have.
However, when she saw Wei Yunyi, her eyes looked cautious.
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and is truly exhausted. Your recent fall into the water made me even more worried. Therefore, Your Majesty must prioritize your health and refrain from overwork. This is the ginseng soup I personally brewed. Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot to nourish your body."
"By the way, the Emperor hasn't eaten yet, has he? Coincidentally, the cakes on the table are specialties from Yan, and they were made by me personally."
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Sun ordered someone to bring the medicine and at the same time pushed the cakes on the table forward.
His movements, like his eyes, were all cautious.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Wei Yunyi responded.
Without hesitation, he drank the medicine in one gulp.
Although the relationship between the two was not very good, he knew that the other party would not be stupid enough to poison the medicine.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Sun felt a little relieved and continued, "The Emperor has been on the throne for three years, but he only got married at the end of last year. The late Emperor was not blessed with only two children, the Emperor and Yuanchuan. For the sake of the Great Wei, the Emperor needs to visit the harem more often."
Hearing this, Wei Yunyi put down the porcelain bowl and then remembered that there were two other people in his harem.
A queen and a concubine, but their predecessors were always busy with state affairs.
So even after being married for several months, he had never been to the harem once.
Of course, he also noticed the key point in Empress Dowager Sun's words.
His own younger brother, Wei Yunchuan.
But in order to avoid mentioning the emperor, it was changed to Yuan.
He was the biological son of Empress Dowager Sun. When the late emperor was alive, he was named King of Yan and granted a fiefdom.
Wei Yunyi probably remembered that in the original novel, this younger brother was no pushover. He had shown extraordinary talent since childhood. Not only was he good at studying, he also had a good talent for martial arts.
Therefore, after the original owner ascended the throne, he was extremely wary of him, fearing that he would take the opportunity to cause trouble after returning to his fiefdom.
In the name of fulfilling filial piety to the late emperor, he forcibly detained the Prince of Yan in the capital for five years.
The purpose is to keep the other party under your supervision.
Now, after hearing this, Wei Yunyi was certain in his heart.
The Queen Mother was trying to persuade herself to let Prince Yan return to his fiefdom.
No wonder it is another specialty pastry from Yan area.
He mentioned the late emperor again.
After calming down, Wei Yunyi smiled and said, "The Queen Mother, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."
Empress Dowager Sun was stunned by these words, but she immediately realized that her meaning was too obvious. She didn't beat around the bush and said, "It's been three years. Your Majesty, for my sake, please allow Yuan Chuan to leave the capital."
