Chapter 442 Apologize to Han Biao
Yun Chen's "teaching" in public caused Han Biao to be seriously injured and unconscious for three days on the bed.
This also resulted in Yun Chen receiving his first impeachment since returning to Beijing to serve as Prime Minister Wu.
A newly appointed censor named Wu criticized Yun Chen for his arrogant and outrageous behavior, beating the Prince of Xiyan in the street and destroying the peaceful relations between the two countries.
However, the impeachment was brought out from the Censorate, but before it even reached the threshold of Nanli Jun's Feng Yutian Palace, it was detained by Huo Gannian in the Regent's Palace.
He raised his head slightly from the pile of memorials and wrote a directive with a flourish:
Nonsense!
The newly arrived censor Wu seemed to be too "loyal" and refused to give up. He submitted dozens of impeachment letters, each of which was suppressed by Huo Gannian.
Soon, the whole court heard about this matter. Due to Huo Gan's authority, Yun Chen's position as Prime Minister and his great military achievements, everyone turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, but there was a lot of discussion behind the scenes.
Finally, Yun Wang couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged Yun Chen to Han Biao's house to apologize, and the matter was settled.
It is said that Yun Chen's apology was as follows:
A large group of people, including the personal soldiers and guards of Prime Minister Wu's residence and dozens of guards from the Huo Gang, rushed into the proton house where Han Biao was. Han Biao, who had just woken up, was frightened so much that his face turned pale. He thought that Yun Chen had come to beat him again, and his legs went weak and he knelt down in front of Yun Chen.
On the side, Yun Wang, who had brought Yun Chen to apologize, frowned speechlessly, sighed softly, and said to Han Biao:
"That's it, kneel down and let Yun Chen apologize to you."
Yun Chen also knew that he was too reckless when he beat someone that day and forgot to take into account the current identity of Prime Minister Wu.
But her apology was to Huo Gannian and Yun Wang who had helped to clean up the mess for her, not to Han Biao, that despicable guy.
She strode forward, standing in front of the trembling Han Mian like an iron tower, looking at him from under her eyes, and bowed perfunctorily:
"I'm sorry."
After saying that, Yun Chen frowned and looked at Yun Wang, "Is that all right? Can you return Taiping and Wuyang to me?"
Before bringing Yun Chen to apologize, Yun Wang's first thing was to send people to trick Yun Chen's Taiping Sword and the Swallowing Cloud Beast back in an instant.
Faced with Yun Chen's blood-related brother, the guards and grooms in Yun Chen's mansion were not on guard and were tricked into handing over their swords and horses.
Otherwise, given Yun Chen's military temperament, there is no way he would come to apologize to Han Biao.
Sure enough, the sword and horse, the two most intimate and close things to him, were taken away, which immediately made Yun Chen uncomfortable day and night.
Yun Wang said that only when she apologized to Han Biao and put an end to the impeachment that had caused a lot of discussion among the civil and military officials in the court, would "peace" and "safety" be returned to her.
That's why Han Biao knelt down to accept the apology.
Seeing Yun Chen's impatient frown, and his perfunctory and insincere attitude, Yun Wang shook his head helplessly, thinking that at least he had apologized, so let it be, who wouldn't be annoyed by that Han cousin?
Yun Chen didn't kill him directly in the street because he was afraid of leaving a psychological trauma on the onlookers!
After receiving Yun Wang's wave, Yun Chen immediately ran to find her sword and horse with a smile on his face, saying, "I'm leaving first. I'm going boating on the lake with Song Qiaoqiao in the evening." Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
The large group of personal guards she brought with her also bowed to Yun Wang and took their leave.
…
…
After everyone left, Yun Wang left the Proton Hall and climbed up to the tallest Star-Picking Tower in Kyoto City alone.
He stood in the wind, suppressed all emotions and calmed his heart.
He looked down at Kyoto City, the Imperial Palace, the Huo Mansion, and the Yun Mansion with a heavy gaze... A huge feeling of powerlessness came over him, and he muttered to himself:
"Teacher, I'm afraid I'll let you down. I can't fulfill your wish and serve the emperor..."
In the eyes of others, this is the beginning of peace and prosperity for the Kingdom of Nan, a good time of peace and joy.
Look at the Prince Regent and Prime Minister Wu, they have great achievements and power, and wherever they go, they are surrounded by people and officials bow down to them.
Nowadays, almost all memorials from the court are reviewed by Regent Huo Gannian, and only a few particularly important ones are selected to be reviewed with Nan Lijun.
Huo Gannian monopolized the power of the government and suppressed the hundreds of voices of civil and military officials in the court, making it almost a one-man show.
His arbitrary and ruthless style of doing things made the powerful people in Beijing dare not say anything except nodding their heads.
Although Huo Gannian was very strict in handling government affairs and treating officials in the court, he was extremely tolerant and compassionate when it came to the people's livelihood.
Since he took office, he has issued a series of new decrees to stabilize prices and recuperate the economy. He also proposed to cut palace expenses and use the saved money to establish more schools and open up official career paths for common people to obtain official titles.
Looking at Prime Minister Wu, needless to say, his numerous military achievements over the years and the current peace and stability are enough to explain everything.
The three words "Cloud Tiger" are enough to calm the people.
To put it in an exaggerated way, as long as Yun Chen is alive and the mighty army exists, the people will feel at ease.
In order to commend Yun Chen's achievements, people have begun to erect monuments and build ancestral temples for her. Some people even stopped worshipping statues of gods at home and started worshipping Yun Chen instead.
Furthermore, the Huo Mansion, now the Prince Regent's Mansion, threw the word "shame" out of their minds. All the men, women, and children in the mansion were busy with the same thing:
Prepare for the marriage of Huo Gannian and Yun Chen.
It is said that in order to prepare for the wedding, Huo Gannian spent all his family's money, including flowers, colorful embroidery, gold and silver treasures, wedding banquets and food...
From the rosewood sedan chair with gold threads to the ice jade cup with carved patterns for drinking the wedding wine, everything except the wedding dress was prepared according to the palace specifications, and many even exceeded the level.
Even the southern pearls inlaid on the pure gold phoenix crown were as big as fists, three times larger than those on Nanli Jun's crown tassel.
Not only that, in order to fulfill Yun Chen's wish that Huo Gan Nian come to marry her on a big ship, Huo Gan Nian spent a huge amount of money to build a huge nine-masted and twelve-barred Huaguang treasure ship to welcome the bride and hold the wedding banquet.
The eight-story treasure ship is dotted with pavilions, towers and gardens, decorated with glazed jades, lamps lit with luminous pearls, the decks paved with golden obsidian, and even the railings and steps are made of white marble.
People simply couldn't imagine that on the day of Huo Gannian and Yun Chen's wedding, the sky would be filled with gold foil, and a huge ship loaded with flowers and dazzling jewels would slowly approach. Huo Gannian would be as graceful as a flying dragon, riding his horse high on the deck, with flower drums beating behind him and the lion and tiger flags shining brightly. What a shocking and unforgettable sight it would be.
Unfortunately, not everyone can attend the wedding banquet on the treasure ship. Only the most noble people can attend.
Even though the common people were curious, they could only watch from afar.
For this reason, Huo Gannian said that it was a good idea. Since it was a happy event, the whole world should rejoice together and the people should enjoy it together. He directly approved a Millennium Canal, which was dug directly from the Luozi River outside the city to the gate of Prime Minister Wu's residence inside the city, specifically for welcoming the bride.
He also promised that on the day of his wedding, wherever the treasure ship passed, he would throw golden grains to the people along the way as a celebration.
Each of these events was astonishing, and each one demonstrated the arrogance of Huo Gannian and Yun Chen.
All of Huo Gannian's inappropriate, arrogant, and overly domineering words and deeds were quietly exposed.
It seems that everything is happening as people expected.
The upcoming grand wedding will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.
But Yunwang didn't feel any anticipation or happiness at all.
Ever since he met the newly appointed censor Wu, looked into his eyes in surprise, and witnessed how Nan Lijun deliberately favored him, Yun Wang immediately guessed everything.
Nan Lijun and her male favorite Yan Shijiu's conspiracy to support the "traitorous minister"...
Huo Gannian hid his plan to take the throne from Yun Chen...
At some point, Nan Lijun and Huo Gannian had already sat down at the chessboard, each holding black and white pieces, fighting each other non-stop.
Therefore, Yun Wang did not ask Yun Chen again why Huo Gannian was so arrogant now. Because Yun Chen was not interested in politics, he obviously did not notice anything about it.
Yun Wang understood that the current situation was far beyond his control.
Even he himself was just a chess piece with no control over his own destiny.
"Teacher, please forgive my cowardice... I can't bear to see the people suffer this tribulation, and I can't choose between my family's safety and protecting the emperor's power... I think I can only withdraw..."
