Chapter 445 Regent
As soon as Wu Pinghou finished speaking, the whole audience suddenly buzzed and everyone stretched their necks to look around.
"The Regent?"
"Did I hear correctly? Did Marquis Wuping just mention the Prince Regent?"
Whether they were visitors from the palace or the villagers, they all looked at Marquis Wuping in surprise.
"Is Marquis Wuping drunk?"
"Ah! Poor Wu Pinghou, he's clearly speaking the truth after drinking. He really wants to be the regent!"
Marquis Wuping waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense! I haven't drunk any alcohol!"
But the noisy discussions continued, and Marquis Wuping looked at the city gate with anticipation, but the Regent did not appear.
Strange, where is the person who was standing next to him just now?
Does this mean you don’t want to come out to see the Queen Mother?
A stern look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. "Marquis Wuping, are you trying to fool me by mentioning the Regent at this moment? You fled to Heihe City and betrayed the court. If the Regent knew about this, how could he forgive you? How could you have the nerve to mention the Regent?!"
Wu Pinghou said impatiently: "You put it nicely, but if it weren't for your ruthless emperor son, would the regent have done such a thing back then?"
The Queen Mother's expression darkened, and she angrily shouted, "What do you mean by this? The Prince Regent died of illness. What does this have to do with the Emperor? Marquis Wuping, the Emperor has been very kind to you! How could you believe these rumors and say something that would put the Emperor in an unjust position?!"
"That's enough, Queen Mother!" Wang Changyang knocked the ground with his cane. "We all know the truth about the Regent's accident. You can't hide it even if you want to!"
The Queen Mother remained calm, her voice steady. "They say rumors stop with the wise. It seems you, a world-renowned scholar, are merely lauded for nothing. You're willing to bring up something like this without any solid evidence. How are you any different from those ignorant women and children who simply follow the crowd and lack any judgment?"
Wang Changyang shook his head and laughed, "Queen Dowager, you clearly know what happened back then, yet you're pretending to be so righteous and eloquent. Such hypocrisy is truly astonishing to me!"
The Queen Mother was furious, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "You have gone too far! Not only have you betrayed the court, but you are also throwing dirty water on me and the Emperor! If you have the guts, show me the evidence! Otherwise, I will argue with you to the end!"
"Does a witness count as evidence?" A cold and intimidating voice came.
The Queen Mother was shocked, her expression a little flustered. "Who? Who's talking?"
Among the ministers and palace maids who accompanied him, those who knew the Regent all looked surprised, thinking that there was something wrong with their ears.
Although this voice has gained a lot of vicissitudes compared to more than 20 years ago, its warm and elegant basic tone has not changed much.
The most important point is that the pressure released by these few short words makes people's calves tremble involuntarily.
Apart from the Regent, no one else can have such a compelling aura, not even the Emperor!
The accompanying ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. "What...what on earth is going on? The Regent has been dead for over twenty years. Where did this sound come from?"
"Could it be that we are hallucinating?"
At this time, a tall figure walked out from behind the city gate.
He came against the light, and the light and shadow behind him were intertwined, making him look like a god descending from heaven.
Everyone couldn't see his appearance clearly, they could only see his tall and straight figure and feel his innate kingly aura.
The old ministers tilted their heads back, tears streaming down their faces, and murmured from their trembling mouths.
"picture!"
“So similar!”
This cold, arrogant and lonely temperament, and the domineering aura that looks down on the world, is simply the reincarnation of the Regent!
Is this a dream? It must be a dream!
In an instant, time seemed to go back to more than 20 years ago, and the old ministers could not help but feel sad and burst into tears!
"Good heavens! If he were still here! If he were still here..."
If he were still there, how could Daewoo Corporation have reached its current state of disintegration and precarious situation?
Why are these old ministers worried about the collapse of the dynasty and a bad end at such an old age?
Everyone seemed to be under a spell, staring at the person who was walking towards them.
His left hand was behind his back, and his steps were steady and powerful, step by step, getting closer and closer to them.
“Bang, bang!”
“Bang, bang!”
I don’t know whose heartbeat it is, echoing the heartbeats of others.
There were also faint sobbing sounds in between.
The hearts of all the palace servants were beating like drums, and they even forgot to blink, just to see the face of the person who came as soon as possible.
The villagers' reactions were no different. They stared at the person in front of them in amazement, too surprised to make a sound.
Why?
It was clearly someone they knew, yet it felt like a completely different person. What was so different about him?
Finally, Ye Buwei stopped.
At this moment, the winter sun poured down from the gaps in the clouds above his head and shone on him.
His face lit up instantly.
With handsome sword-like eyebrows, proud black eyes, thin lips and clear features, he stood there quietly, emitting a sense of dominance and majesty from head to toe. People could not take their eyes off him, but they dared not look him in the eye!
"Regent!"
"It's the Regent!"
"It really is the Regent!"
Like a drop of ice water splashing into a boiling oil pan, all the palace ladies and ministers exploded!
"The Regent is not dead!"
"The Regent is still alive!"
"Oh my God, is this a dream?"
The surprise came so suddenly that several old ministers fainted from excitement!
"This, this, this..." The villagers' jaws dropped to the ground, and each of them looked like they were struck by lightning.
"Regent!" The ministers rushed up eagerly with tears in their eyes.
At this moment, they understood Zen Master Huineng, Wang Daru and Marquis Wuping!
It turns out that this is the biggest secret of Heihe City!
The ministers stopped a few steps away from Ye Buwei. This was because they restrained themselves, otherwise they would have wanted to grab the Regent and check him from head to toe!
A lot has happened in the past twenty-one years, but now that the Regent has returned, nothing seems to have changed!
All the ministers and palace maids knelt down in unison, "Kuaisai, gao gao gao!"
"Everyone get up!" Ye Buwei said with a relaxed smile in his voice.
The ministers did not get up and they cried loudly.
"Prince Regent! Since you are still alive, why didn't you return to the capital for twenty-one years and not take care of the affairs of the court?"
"Our Dayu is like a pile of loose sand, it's in a mess!"
"The court is in chaos! We are incompetent and can do nothing!"
"Your Majesty, your servants have it so hard! We're so busy every day, but we haven't achieved anything!"
The ministers cried like wronged children.
