Chapter 144 A Rui
Yun Mansion.
Li knelt in front of Yun Rui:
"Uncle, for Yun Xin's sake, please help my niece-in-law..."
Yun Rui's expression remained unchanged. He held the teacup in his hand, and there seemed to be a few more strands of white hair on his temples:
"Do you remember that I told you not to do the Li family's business anymore? Sooner or later, His Majesty would find out. I asked you to persuade them, and this is the result of your persuasion."
The Li family has deep roots and if it wasn't so excessive, they could still find someone below to take the place. But now that it has come to this, if they were to pull in small minions from small families to take the place, would Emperor Yuan really believe it?
Li felt extremely regretful. She wondered why she had forgotten what Yun Rui said and even told those words to her parents so casually.
My parents will just treat it as a joke. After all, why has Your Majesty ever investigated the affairs of Jiangnan?
I'm afraid it's too late now. The last time I went back, I found that my parents were already very sad. No matter how hard they tried to cover it up, they could not hide the sins of the Li family.
At this time, he came to ask Yun Rui to save the Li family for the sake of Yun Xin and their two sons.
Even Li looked down on me for being like this.
"Did you kill someone?" Yun Rui sighed, remembering that Yun Zhuan had always been thinking about how good Li had been to her.
Even after she left, she told Yun Rui her more important plans in writing.
It's not like he hadn't thought about using some extreme methods to save the Li family, but in the end, none of them were as gentle as Yun Zhuan's method.
Half of the Li family is engaged in business. Qin Tianjian said that the Yuan Kingdom might experience drought or disaster every three to five years.
The Yuan Dynasty's treasury was already in a state of distress due to the consumption of money by termites, and the country also had to support the army.
The best way is to let the Li family give up their current status and wealth. Those in the court should resign voluntarily and stay at home. Those who do business need to follow your majesty's ideas, become imperial merchants, and continue to help the emperor.
They could not accept this process until the emperor was willing to release them.
This was definitely a devastating disaster for the Li family, because if they had failed to guess Emperor Yuan's thoughts, they could only say sorry to the world.
This is still the best outcome. Yun Rui couldn't believe that the two grandsons with Li family blood would encounter any obstacles in their official careers.
Yun Rui loves his grandchildren, so naturally he doesn't want to see such a scene.
"Get up. I'm going to the palace." Yun Rui held the other half of the amulet in his hand, but in his heart he was sighing that it would be great if everyone else in the family was as worry-free as Jiuru, Fushang and Jiaojiao.
But it was obvious that he had a lot of worries.
Even so, he had to consider the future of the Yun family. The future of the Yun family still needed the support of the Yun family.
There is no news about where Jiuru has gone now. Fushang and Jiaojiao went to Nanzhao and it seems they will not be coming back for the time being. Apart from them, there are only Yun Fujin and Yun Fuyu left at home.
From this perspective, the Yun family is indeed in danger.
The entry into the palace was smooth.
Emperor Yuan was sitting in the main hall of the royal ancestral temple.
His hair was let down, and his whole body was shrouded in a gloomy mood.
Seeing Yunrui coming, it seemed as if there was a little light.
"Are you here for the Li family?" Emperor Yuan was the emperor, so he said it all at once, "Do you want to ask me for something?"
"My dear, do you want me to be angry too?"
The words were spoken very softly, making Yun Rui feel nervous.
These words sounded so desolate, like the result of being disappointed with everything I had done.
"I always felt that my father did not do well, and I always felt that I would do better than him, but I was wrong. I didn't know how much effort my father had put in to bring the prosperous country to my hands. I was only in my twenties when I ascended the throne. In my twenties, I no longer had a father..."
Yun Rui sat on another cushion next to Emperor Yuan, looking at the many emperors who often offered incense in front of him.
A feeling of emptiness and loneliness arises from the bottom of my heart.
"Even so, I have no choice but to come to your Majesty and ask for help." Yun Rui took out the other half of the tiger talisman, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help in resolving Jiaojiao's death."
Emperor Yuan was indeed very disappointed, with a cold look in his eyes:
"You always ask me to fulfill your wishes, but my country is so vast, when will you be able to fulfill my wishes?"
"I just want a peaceful and prosperous country. Why do you always abandon me for your own selfish desires?"
"Being an emperor is the most unpleasant thing in the world, but I took the throne with my father's expectations."
Yun Rui said without saying anything. He whispered:
"Your Majesty, the national treasury is out of money. I can persuade the Li family to donate all their property to the national treasury. The third and fourth masters of the Li family will save money for the royal family so that they can have a countermeasure for the natural disasters and man-made disasters that Qin Tianjian said in the future."
The Yuan Emperor raised his eyes, his expression unreadable: "Are you threatening me with the subjects of the Yuan Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, you know that this is not my intention." Yun Rui said coldly, "You know, I don't care about the life or death of the Li family. I have been working hard all my life to help Your Majesty make the right decision."
Handing over the military power was to reassure Emperor Yuan.
Leading troops to fight is to reassure the people.
But in the end, everyone in the Yun family made Jiaojiao feel uneasy and worried.
Being concerned about human affairs has become an obsession over time. How can Yun Zhu concentrate on completing the great cause of Nanzhao?
A gust of wind blew in from the front, mixed with snow particles.
Yun Rui stood up and looked at the heavy snow flying all over the sky outside:
"Back then, it was on a snowy day like this that I met His Majesty, the then prince..."
"A few years have passed in a flash, and I am once again enjoying the snow with Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuan was silent. He was wondering in his heart whether it was worth it to let the Li family go.
Now Grand Tutor She has not been caught yet and his daughter is still in prison.
The Li family did have dealings with the She family, but not very close. Emperor Yuan was willing to believe that the Li family was bewitched by Grand Tutor She.
I watched Yun Rui step out of the threshold of the hall, wearing the black fox cloak that I had given him last time, and standing between heaven and earth.
The white snow fell on his head, shoulders, and clothes.
The gentle features are still the same as before.
Emperor Yuan couldn't help but stand up and stand between heaven and earth with Yun Rui.
After a long while, Emperor Yuan slowly spoke:
"After so many years, every statement you make makes sense."
"I can't say anything more about you."
Yun Rui carefully tied the brocade bag containing the tiger talisman around Emperor Yuan's waist. He was not very experienced in this and it took him a long time to tie it.
This distance between the two of them widened, and they looked into each other's eyes:
"Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler and you will definitely know how to make the decision."
Emperor Yuan tied Yunrui's cloak tightly again and put a veil on him:
"A Rui, please do one last thing for me..."
"Kill She Fu, and I'll let you go."
