Chapter 1112: Welcome
After the celebration banquet, the army was rewarded.
Whether it was the generals above or the ordinary soldiers below, they all received the rewards they deserved.
The whole army was in high spirits.
The next morning, the emperor returned to Shengjing with the concubine.
King Luo Yechen of England and his cabinet ministers led all civil and military officials and personally went out of the city gate to welcome the emperor.
The people lined the streets to welcome him and shouted "Long live the king".
Xiao Xixi was originally sleeping soundly in the carriage, but was awakened by shouting outside.
She lifted the blanket and sat up, then gently opened the car window a crack and saw the huge crowds of people outside. She was secretly amazed.
The streets are really deserted.
It was even more grand than any superstar concert she had seen in modern society.
The convoy entered the palace smoothly.
Luo Qinghan first sent Xixi to Yunxiu Palace, and then went to the imperial study.
During the time he was away, a lot of government affairs had accumulated. Although Luo Yechen and Li Qingyan helped to look after them, some things had to be decided by Luo Qinghan himself.
When he was away before, those things could be put on hold temporarily. Now that he is finally back, it is natural that he has to deal with all the backlog of matters.
The palace maids and eunuchs serving the emperor could clearly notice that the emperor's spirit and energy had improved a lot after his return. He was no longer as moody and easily angry as before.
This made everyone secretly relieved.
After Luo Yechen had handed over the matters clearly, he immediately patted his butt and slipped away.
During this period, in order to help the emperor keep watch, Luo Yechen went out early and came back late almost every day, and had to deal with those old foxes in the cabinet every day.
Those old foxes were all very cunning. They always spoke half-truths and never made their words clear. Sometimes they would deliberately hide traps in their words to trick him into falling into the cage. Several times they almost led him into the ditch.
In order to deal with this group of old foxes, Luo Yechen almost racked his brains and was exhausted.
In the past, he thought being an emperor was a very impressive thing. He could hold the power of life and death over others in his own hands. He could do whatever he wanted. How cool!
But now he just felt that being an emperor was not a job that could be done by just one person!
Not only did he have to spend most of his time every day dealing with government affairs, but he also had to compete with court officials and engage in all kinds of intrigue.
No one will help him sincerely, and the only person he can truly trust is himself.
Luo Yechen felt exhausted after just a few days of this. He really didn't know how Luo Qinghan had been able to hold on for so long?
After returning to the Prince of England's Palace, Luo Yechen collapsed directly on the couch and sighed weakly.
"Fortunately, I was not the one who ascended the throne."
If he were to become the emperor, he would be worked to death.
Bu Shengyan was making small clothes for the child to wear next to the body. When she heard this, she looked up and glanced at him.
"Now you know it's not easy to be an emperor? Didn't you clamor to compete with the prince for power at the beginning?"
Luo Yechen turned over and looked at her.
"I thought being an emperor just required issuing orders, which seemed easy and impressive. How could I have known that an emperor had to deal with so many government affairs every day?"
Bu Shengyan: "You want power but don't want to put in the effort. How can it be so easy?"
She bit off the silk thread in her hand, shook out the little clothes, stood up and walked to the crib.
"Come and help me pick up the little fool."
Luo Yechen immediately got up, ran over and picked up his precious son.
Bu Shengyan put the newly made clothes on her son, tried it out, and found that the sleeves were a little long and needed to be altered.
She took off her clothes and sat back to continue her sewing.
Luo Yechen did not put his son back, but walked around the room with him in his arms, making faces at his son from time to time, making his son giggle.
He was so busy helping the emperor handle government affairs during this period that he had no time to hug his son.
Now that he finally has some free time, he must make the most of it!
…
Tian Yan Zhenren was transferred to the Ministry of Justice and was personally interrogated by the Minister of Justice Dong Mingchun.
At first, Master Tianyan gritted his teeth and refused to speak, but later he could no longer bear the pain brought by the torture and gradually revealed his plans for the past twenty years.
Based on the confession of Master Tianyan, Dong Mingchun drew up a long list.
The people on this list are either important members of Tianmen or people who have had transactions with Tianmen.
Among these people, the one with the highest status is Princess Hua'an.
After Dong Mingchun sorted out the list, he immediately presented it to the emperor and asked him to make a decision.
Luo Qinghan looked at the five words "Princess Hua'an" at the top of the list and was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Princess Xuanhua An comes to the palace to meet the emperor."
Eunuch Chang: "Yes."
He passed on the emperor's order, and soon the oral order was delivered to Princess Hua'an's residence.
When Princess Hua'an appeared in front of Luo Qinghan, she was wearing a plain white dress, with no makeup on her face, her hair was bald, without a hairpin, and she had a bare face. There were even a few strands of white hair on her temples.
There was no longer any trace of elegance and pride on her face; instead, there was only dejection and haggardness.
She bowed respectfully to the emperor.
Luo Qinghan: "The leader of Tianmen has been arrested, and he gave out your name."
Princess Huaan's body stiffened slightly, and her expression became even more bleak.
Luo Qinghan: "You are my aunt, one of the few relatives I have left in this world. I really can't bear to do anything to you."
Princess Hua'an knew in her heart that once her collusion with the rebels was exposed, it would not only be her face that would be lost, but also the face of the entire royal family.
But if the matter is not explained clearly, outsiders will think that the emperor is taking advantage of his power to bully his aunt, which will be detrimental to the emperor's reputation.
The emperor did not make the decision himself, but handed the decision-making power to Princess Hua'an.
She pursed her bloodless lips and spoke slowly.
"I heard that Your Majesty saved my grandson from the rebels. Can I meet him?"
Luo Qinghan glanced at Eunuch Chang who was standing beside him.
Eunuch Chang understood and immediately ordered someone to bring a swaddled baby into the imperial study.
When Princess Hua'an saw the child, she couldn't help but take two steps forward.
Eunuch Chang walked up to her holding the child.
"Princess, please look, this is your grandson."
In fact, this child is not only the grandson of Princess Hua'an, but also the nephew of Luo Qinghan. If Luo Yanzhi had not rebelled, perhaps this child could have inherited the throne and lived comfortably as a leisurely prince.
However, now he has become an unspeakable stain on the royal family.
Not to mention letting him inherit the throne, even his name cannot be written into the royal family tree.
If the emperor were a little more ruthless, he would have killed him directly and no one would have dared to say anything.
