Imperial study.
Nangong Yiyu and Meng Changping were waiting here at dawn, but where was the emperor?
Liu Jin's eunuch said that the emperor had something to do and might be late.
That's right, Your Majesty has been at sea for several months and must have been very busy last night. This young man even canceled the court meetings in order to sleep a little longer in the morning.
Then let him sleep a little longer. After all, he has brought back an island for Daxia. With such a great contribution, he has enough capital to sleep a little longer.
The two prime ministers started to make tea in the imperial study, but they had already drunk three pots of tea. It was not even three o'clock in the morning. Where was His Majesty?
"Your Excellency, I don't know either. Your Majesty said early this morning that he had something to do and needed to go out for a while. How could I dare to ask where Your Majesty was going?"
This does make sense, but why didn't you tell us earlier that His Majesty had gone out? We thought he was sleeping!
"Who did Your Majesty go out with?" Nangong Yiyu's face darkened, which scared Liu Jin.
"Replying to Lord Nangong, His Majesty, the Emperor Retired, Bei Wangchuan, and a handsome man whose name I don't know went out together."
This retired emperor of course refers to Wu Dalang, which is a bit confusing. According to legend, Emperor Wen was the real retired emperor, but Wu Dalang shamelessly said that Your Majesty was also his son, and he was also the emperor of the Wu Dynasty - this statement cannot be examined in detail. If it is examined in detail, it is true that he was the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, but the real emperor has returned, and the worst that can happen is that he can be conferred the title of prince on you.
After all, you are not his biological father, so how can you wear the crown of the emperor!
It is also because His Majesty, considering the grace of raising this guy, does not allow the Ministry of Rites to discuss this matter, so this fat man is still the emperor.
With him and Bei Wangchuan by His Majesty's side, nothing would happen. But His Majesty ran out so early in the morning. Where did he go?
"Go and see if His Majesty has returned to the harem."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Liu Jin ran away, and when he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he was shocked.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation is more lively than ever before!
What's going on?
He took another closer look and was shocked, gasping for breath - isn't that the Empress Dowager who passed away just a few months ago?
After Xu Yunqing returned, Fu Xiaoguan summoned the nine women in his harem and all his children. Nangong Piaoxue was absent. She didn't know that the empress dowager had returned and was still working hard at the Medical Research Institute.
At this time, Fu Xiaoguan also explained the reason to Yu Wenjun and the others. Of course, he did not mention a word about Xu Yunqing's fake death and Su Changsheng's possible problem.
He made up a lie, saying that his mother was so seriously injured that everyone thought she was beyond saving, but she ended up saving herself.
Of course, these ladies believed it and thought it was the great blessing of the Queen Mother.
Everyone brought their daughters and gathered around Xu Yunqing, asking about his well-being. Xu Yunqing was also smiling happily, and the courtyard was filled with joy.
"You grown man, go and do your thing. I'll talk to my daughters-in-law. The lunch will be delivered here. You'd better come back and have a meal with the whole family."
Fu Xiaoguan couldn't get a word in here at all. It seemed that her mother and her daughters-in-law had endless things to say. She pulled the hand of one daughter-in-law, touched the head of another grandson, and her face was full of a brilliant smile.
But Fu Xiaoguan still wanted to stay here, even if it was just to watch, but he didn't expect that he would be driven away by his mother.
Well, I do have something to do, and with so many daughters-in-law accompanying me, I'll let them get close to their mother first.
So he took Ji Yungui and Liu Jin, who had not yet recovered, to the imperial study.
Before he even stepped out of the courtyard, he heard Xu Yunqing say again, "Fatty, what are you grinning at? This is the harem, you can leave now!"
The fat man was stunned, and suddenly realized a problem - he was the redundant one!
His fat face was full of resentment, and he asked hesitantly, "Where am I going?"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed and ignored these things. They came to the imperial study.
Nangong Yiyu and Meng Changping saw the long-lost happy face.
Your Majesty, have you found gold?
Ever since Your Majesty returned from the border town, even though he had conquered a great empire, the smile on His Majesty's face was superficial and forced.
But at this moment, it came from the heart and flowed out naturally.
Fu Xiaoguan was really happy. He greeted everyone and the first thing he said was - "My mother...is not dead!"
Nangong Yiyu and Meng Changping were shocked. "...Your Majesty, the Queen Mother... is really alive?"
"She's alive and well, right in the harem. I just went out to bring her back."
Fu Xiaoguan sat down. Nangong Yiyu couldn't believe it, "Queen Mother..."
"Don't forget, my mother is a Saint! We misjudged her back then, and she was seriously injured. She eventually recovered on her own..." He turned to look at Liu Jin and instructed, "Go to the Imperial Kitchen and ask the cooks to prepare more delicious dishes and send them to the Yangxin Palace... Oh, and have someone clean up Ci'an Palace and replace everything with new ones. Also, send more clever palace maids to serve the Empress Dowager."
Liu Jin had come to his senses by this time. He understood the importance of the matter and quickly agreed and turned around to leave in a hurry.
After these words were spoken, Nangong Yiyu and Meng Changping truly believed it.
Yes, Emperor Wen survived once, so it doesn’t seem strange that the Empress Dowager survived again.
"Then I will go in and pay my respects to the Queen Mother later!"
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand. "Forget about this kind of thing. She even kicked me out and is chatting with the Queen and the others... What do you want?"
The two put aside the matter of the Queen Mother for the time being and talked about business.
Meng Changping presented the letters sent by envoys from various countries to Fu Xiaoguan and told him the matter in detail. Fu Xiaoguan heard the name of the Liao Dynasty again. It turned out that it had fought with Western Xia again.
This matter needs to be discussed carefully!
"Look, tell these envoys that on March 20th of next year, I'll be in Guanyun City, quietly awaiting their kings or special envoys to pay homage. Pay attention, especially to Xixia. Tell the Xixia envoys that I want to see their king."
Meng Changping was stunned. Only His Majesty of Xixia specifically requested to see its ruler... "Does His Majesty intend to support Xixia?"
"After all, the Liao Dynasty's destruction of Western Xia did not benefit Great Xia in any way. As the superior country, we must keep things fair. What's the point of fighting? War means death. Isn't it better for everyone to live in peace?"
After saying this, Fu Xiaoguan pointed at Ji Yungui who was standing beside him and said to Nangong Yiyu and Meng Changping, "His name is Ji Yungui. From now on, he will be the head of Tianji Pavilion and will be in charge of all its affairs."
The two were shocked to find that Tianji Pavilion and Yulitai had been separated. As secret spies of Daxia, Tianji Pavilion was actually far more important than Yulitai.
Who is this person called Ji Yungui?
