They all say I'm a tyrant

General You Yan was only slightly unwell at first, but Emperor Longhe took pity on his courtiers. After visiting in private, the general's condition seemed to be a little more serious.There was a lot of discussion among the courtiers, and they were all speculating on what the hell the general was up to, whether it was a deliberate show of weakness, or another purpose.

But You Yan didn't care what troubles he caused in the court, since he got the "compassion" from the Holy One, he was also happy to be at leisure, sleeping until the sun was three poles every day, and then he would go to the garden with a fishing rod and a bamboo hat to toss him A pool of koi that father regards as a treasure.

It is impossible for You Yan's fishing level to improve in the past few days, but the koi in the pool that was originally very close to him has been disturbed by him for several days, and the situation has become turbulent. Whenever someone approaches the lotus pond, it will scatter in all directions. Come on, resolutely refuse to go near the pool again.

After You Yan couldn't get any fun, he turned his attention to the group of flowers in the garden that he couldn't even name.If the koi in the pond are Dr. You's treasure, then these flowers are Dr. You's life.In order to prevent his master from seeing the broken flowers and willows in a garden after returning home, and involving himself in it, Ruiyun finally couldn't help but speak out when his young master went to water the flowers in the garden at noon: "Young master, you did not pay attention to it a few days ago." Said to go to the army to have a look, and laying in the mansion for so many days, will it delay the big thing?"

"Big thing?" You Yan threw the wooden bucket into the lotus pond, and laughed when he heard the words, "The world is peaceful now, what big things can happen in the army? Besides, even if there is something, I don't have to be here to solve it. Sooner or later, I will leave the army one day, and then the war will not be fought, and the world will not guard it?"

Rui Yun has always been by You Yan's side, even if he doesn't deliberately understand, he still knows the general situation of the court.A small part of Youjia's current status in the court is due to the ancestor's Yu Yin, and the remaining half is due to his son.

Now everyone in the court thinks that the son of his family is a master who is reckless and reckless, but no one remembers that when the current sage first succeeded to the throne, the court of the Southern Wei Dynasty was bloodbathed after the chaos of seizing the throne, and the northwestern tribe took advantage of it. , raised troops and rebelled, trying to occupy the thirteen states in the northwest and establish himself as king.

Today, the Holy Majesty wants to send troops to quell the chaos, but there is no one available. The people in the court are arguing endlessly every day, and those who advocate ceding land for peace are gradually gaining the upper hand. At this time, it is his son who stands up against all opinions. He only said that he would never allow His Majesty the shame of ceding land and asking for peace when he first came to the throne, and then he personally led an army of [-] to the northwest, and it took half a year to finally put down the rebellion and restore peace to the world.

You have to know how precious his young master was in the previous years, even if he learned a little boxing, it was just to keep fit.The whole You Mansion never expected that a general would come out of their family one day.

Ruiyun still remembers his young master's body full of sword sores and scars when he came back from the northwest, and even more remembers that when the Holy Majesty came to You Mansion, the two of them stayed in the room for a long time, and when he left, the Holy Majesty's eyes were red.After that, he made his son a general, and he is in charge of the military power in the world until today.

Now his son said that sooner or later he would leave the army?

"My lord," Rui Yun said hesitantly, "Do you want to leave the army?"

"Otherwise? Do you think I really like those fights?" You Yan fished up the wooden bucket filled with water from the lotus pond. , that is, the former prince’s men, he has no one to use, so I will help him. Now that the world is peaceful, the three armies have become a piece of iron. It’s not good to keep this iron plate in my hands. I don’t really want it either.”

Ruiyun thought of his young master's occasional frown a few days ago, and also thought of the many rumors in the court, and felt blessed to his heart: "Young master, are you afraid that your meritorious deeds will overwhelm the master, and it will be difficult to die well? I think His Majesty treats you..."

You Yan lowered his head and saw his own reflection in the lotus pond. He stretched out his hand to disturb the reflection: "He has a deep love for me, and I never doubt it. It's exactly the same. I don't hope that there will be a day in the future, because I don't care about these things at all. things that affect the friendship between us."

After playing with the pool water enough, You Yan stood up with half a bucket of water: "Although these things are just troubles for me, they are the prerequisites for him to sit firmly on the throne. He wants peace in this world, The world is clean and bright, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people live in peace, he wants to be a generation of Mingjun respected by future generations." The corners of You Yan's mouth are raised upwards, and there is a rare trace of tenderness in his voice, "I will give him whatever he wants. "

You Yan took half a bucket of water and walked a few steps, looked back at Ruiyun squatting by the lotus pond, and couldn't help laughing: "These things are not something your little head can figure out, it's better if you have that skill." Come here to help your son carry some water, I don’t know how the old man can carry it at his age.”

"Because the master never waters the flowers at noon," Rui Yun walked over slowly and took the bucket from You Yan, "Young master, you should let the flowers of the master go, especially those camellias The old man begged for it with great difficulty, and if your bucket of water goes down, they may not see the old man for the last time."

You Yan raised his eyebrows, before he could refute, a servant came over in a hurry: "My lord, the palace's chariots and horses are outside the mansion, and they want to take you into the palace."

You Yan looked up at the sun above his head: "I don't take a nap at this hour, why bother me."

But no matter what, the news somewhat saved Doctor You's flowers, Ruiyun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Master, you don't even go to court these days, and His Majesty can't even see your face, that's why you sent someone here I will pick you up."

You Yan took off the bamboo hat and stuffed it into Ruiyun's hands, put down the trousers he rolled up casually, and said to the boy: "Let's go."

"My lord, you are entering the palace anyway, do you want to change into a robe?"

You Yan glanced at Rui Yun: "Didn't you say that Your Majesty just wants to see me, it's fine when I arrive, and Your Majesty still cares about what I wear?" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the mansion.

Maybe it was because of tossing around in the garden for most of the morning, or because the carriage was rickety, You Yan fell asleep after a while, propping his chin with one hand against the wall of the carriage, and dozed off in a daze .

When the carriage stopped and someone woke him up, You Yan even had a hazy dream.He rubbed his eyes, and only after he lifted the curtain of the car did he realize that something was wrong. He stared at the plaque in Zhaoyang Hall and tilted his head slightly, then looked back at the servant with a respectful face beside him, with the corners of his lips twitching. Liao Yang: "Since the Empress Dowager summoned you, the internal officials should have informed you earlier, and I will not be so disrespectful that you come here without even changing your outer robe."

In fact, You Yan's words can't stand scrutiny, after all, it's impolite for him to meet the queen mother, and it's not very proper to meet the emperor.But no one would refute his question, the servant just took a step back and made a gesture of invitation: "The queen mother has been waiting for your lord inside for a long time."

You Yan glanced at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, strode into the hall, and saw the Empress Dowager Wu who was sitting on the main seat at a glance, he stopped in the hall, bowed and saluted: "I see the Empress Dowager."

If no response was received as expected, Empress Dowager Wu seemed to be fascinated by the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, and she didn't even notice that there were other people in the hall, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her emotions.

Empress Dowager Wu was silent, and You Yan was not in a hurry. This kind of deliberately making things difficult was nothing in his eyes. He believed that Empress Dowager Wu worked hard to summon him, and it was not just for such a low-level method.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Empress Dowager Wu couldn't hold back, she raised her head casually, saw You Yan standing in the hall, and shouted at the maid beside her in surprise: "When did You Qing's family come? Why didn't you remind Aijia?" Then he said apologetically, "Aijia has been obsessed with worshiping Buddha recently, and has neglected Youqing's family, hurry up and give me a seat!"

You Yan really hoped that the Empress Dowager would worship the Buddha as she said, so as not to cause trouble for Lin Ce, but it is obviously impossible in the current situation.He just smiled and sat down on the chair: "I heard people say that the Buddha Dharma is boundless, and the Queen Mother must have been shocked by it. Forget about it for a while, how can you be negligent?"

Empress Dowager Wu narrowed her eyes slightly. Speaking of which, it should be the first time she met You Yan alone, even though she had heard rumors about him countless times over the past few years.At the beginning, I just heard that the second son of Guanglu doctor You Zhan's mansion was handsome and talented, and even the late emperor praised him, but I didn't expect that such a noble son of a family would become a man with his taciturn and penniless son. He was a close friend and even assisted him all the way to the throne.In the beginning, Empress Dowager Wu was thankful, and had goodwill towards this Young Master You whom she had never met. It wasn't until the news that Young Master You stayed at Changle Palace from time to time reached her ears that she realized that some things were not as easy as she thought. .

This You Yan is far from being as simple as she thought.

Empress Dowager Wu took a sip of tea from the hand of the court lady, and then said slowly: "The Ai family heard that You Qing's family has been ill for the past few days. See?"

You Yan touched his dry lips, and glanced at the teacup in the Empress Dowager Wu's hand: "Your Majesty visited the mansion that day and the imperial doctor gave me a pulse, there is nothing serious, just rest and recuperate for a few days. It's just," You Yan smiled, "I'm really thirsty now, I wonder if the Empress Dowager can reward me with a cup of tea?"

The smile on the back of Mrs. Wu froze. She heard that You Yan had no taboos. Now that she had seen it in person, she could only turn her head to the maid and said, "Why are you so ungrateful, why don't you serve tea to You Aiqing?"

You Yan drank the tea from Zhaoyang Palace smoothly, his mood improved a lot, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "I don't know why the Empress Dowager summoned the ministers here today?"

You Yan's calmness deeply stimulated the Empress Dowager Wu, she has been trembling in the harem for decades, even though she is a noble person now, she still can't learn this calmness.She frowned and looked at You Yan for a while, various thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally said: "You Qing's family has known the emperor since the reign of the late emperor, and they can be regarded as the emperor's right-hand man, so the Ai family called today You Qing's family came here to discuss the emperor's marriage."

You Yan's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, and looked at the Empress Dowager Wu with disbelief: "The Empress Dowager wants to discuss with the ministers about your Majesty's marriage?" The words fell on his lips with an undisguised playful smile.

You Yan had no contact with Empress Dowager Wu before, but along the way with Lin Ce, he also got to know his own mother.

The Empress Dowager Wu came from a humble background, and by chance, she was blessed by the Holy Grace and gave birth to a prince, but she no longer had the mercy of the late emperor.In order to protect herself, she had no choice but to rely on the late emperor's favorite concubine, Shang Guifei, to be low-key and petty everywhere, and even deliberately neglected her own son, lest Shang Guifei would suspect that she had an overbearing heart.As a result, although Lin Ce has a biological mother, no one cares about him.Although You Yan knew that it was helpless for her as a helpless woman to protect herself in the harem, but every time he thought about what Lin Ce had experienced before meeting him, it was difficult for him to have a good impression of this Empress Dowager Wu.

But the royal family has weak family ties. In order to ascend to the throne, Lin Ce had to get rid of all his siblings, leaving only such a blood-related mother. Plan to provoke their mother-child relationship.Anyway, one of them is in the palace and the other is outside the palace. To You Yan, she, the empress dowager, is just a stranger.

But I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Wu finally couldn't hold back and could no longer sit back and watch his existence, but this method was really stupid, no wonder she had been in the harem for many years, her appearance was not ordinary, but she could only protect herself.

The smile on You Yan's face fell into the eyes of Empress Dowager Wu, it was almost a mockery. She has been in the harem for several years and enjoys the honor that she has never had before. Everyone respects her, but this young man can easily do it with a smile. Suddenly recalling her not-so-good memories of the previous years, her complexion suddenly became uneasy: "Shouldn't You Aiqing, as a minister, share the worries of the king?"

"From ancient times to the present, no minister with a brachio thigh would dare to share his worries to your Majesty's harem, right?" You Yan put down his raised legs, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and saluted Empress Dowager Wu, "If the Empress Dowager summons the ministers today I came here for this matter, and I can't accompany you. Your Majesty's marriage should be decided by His Majesty, and it's best for the Queen Mother not to make her own decisions."

Having said so far, it is difficult for the Empress Dowager Wu to maintain the demeanor and politeness just now and stare at You Yan: "Since ancient times, the parents have ordered the matchmaker's words in important marriage matters, so why can't the Ai family be the master?"

You Yan sighed in his heart, a little sympathetic to such a mother-in-law at Lin Ce's booth, he stood up straight, with a half-smile: "Since the Queen Mother can be the master, I will marry the daughter of the family she likes into the palace for Your Majesty." That's it, what are you calling the ministers to discuss? The Queen Mother can be your majesty's master, but the ministers dare not."

"The Ai family thought that there was nothing in this world that General You dared not do." Empress Dowager Wu stood up, staring at You Yan tightly, "Externally, General You controls the military power and indulges his soldiers to rampage in the capital. Internally, General You interfered with the establishment of the empress, leaving the harem vacant, and the emperor has no heirs in his thirties, is it because he has ulterior motives and intends to overthrow our Southern Wei Dynasty?"

"It turns out that the Empress Dowager called the ministers here today to discuss whether the marriage of Your Majesty is fake, and the crime of punishing the ministers is the truth." The smile on You Yan's face slowly dissipated, he put his hands behind his back, and took a step forward, " This general has been in charge of the three armies for many years, and has his own way of governing the army. If someone is really dissatisfied with this general, they can definitely report to His Majesty. Anyway, they have done a lot of these things, so why bother to go around to the Queen Mother." You Yan said. The horns raised, showing a sneering smile, "The Empress Dowager has been pampered in the harem for a long time, and some things may have been forgotten, but unfortunately, I still remember that the late emperor and noble concubine still interfered in the government and colluded with foreign ministers, and what happened in the end, The Empress Dowager and Concubine Shang are also old acquaintances, so it's impossible to have no impression at all, right?"

"You Yan, are you threatening Ai's family?" Empress Dowager Wu looked at You Yan in disbelief, "Ai's family is the emperor's biological mother. If you act so recklessly, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"

"Since the Empress Dowager is still aware of her identity, don't cross that line." You Yan said coldly, "Actually, I am very curious. Back then, there were treacherous turmoil in the former emperor's palace, and the Empress Dowager was always cautious. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life. .Now the Empress Dowager's wish has been fulfilled, but why is she so restless?"

Speaking of this, You Yan didn't wait for Empress Dowager Wu to respond, and raised his eyebrows suddenly as if thinking of something: "Shaoqing Wu Zhen of Honglu Temple seems to be the nephew of the Empress Dowager's inner family? After His Majesty ascended the throne, he, a member of the royal family, should have been promoted to heaven." However, His Majesty chooses talents and appoints talents, and in the face of the Queen Mother, he barely gave it to a young minister of Honghe Temple. This Lord Wu must be very unbalanced. It is inevitable that he will go to the Queen Mother several times. It is even more natural to want to take care of my nephew."

"What do you mean?"

You Yan smiled: "What I mean is that since he is the Empress Dowager's nephew, I will definitely take care of him when he is in court."

The tea bowl in Empress Dowager Wu's hand fell to the ground, causing all the maids and servants in the hall to kneel down, but only You Yan stood leisurely in the hall: "If the Empress Dowager has nothing else to do, I will leave."

"You Ziqing!" Empress Dowager Wu paused, "Do you think you can be so rampant with the Ai family after you climbed the emperor's dragon bed? So what if the emperor is temporarily infatuated with you, he is now the king of a country, There are countless flowery beauties in this world for him to choose, and there will always be someone to replace you, so what will you be at that time?"

"The emperor's heart is changeable, the Queen Mother is very clear about this." You Yan smiled nonchalantly, "Then I will ask the Queen Mother for advice on how to retain the emperor's favor."

Empress Dowager Wu became furious, and pointed to the entrance of the hall: "A foreign minister, who is so disrespectful to the Ai family, will take him down!"

You Yan let out a chuckle, before he could speak, a deep male voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "I want to see who in this imperial city dares to take down my general." Appearing at the entrance of the hall, the tall figure covered the sunlight outside the hall and cast a large shadow on the ground.

Everyone in the hall turned pale with fright, fell to their knees in panic, and saluted Lin Ce.Empress Dowager Wu didn't expect Lin Ce to appear here at such a time. She forced herself to calm down and smiled slightly at Lin Ce: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, why are you here at this time?"

"If you don't come here, I'm afraid I won't see my general again." Lin Ce strode to the center of the hall, his eyes stopped for a while on the fragments of the teacup that hadn't been cleaned up at the feet of Empress Dowager Wu, and then turned back to On the face of You Yan next to him, he immediately understood that in the confrontation just now, the person next to him was the one who had the upper hand. He couldn't help but curled up his lower lip, and said lightly: "Let's go, Ziqing."

Since Lin Ce appeared, You Yan had been smiling, and he didn't show courtesy to Lin Ce, he turned around and walked out of the hall.Lin Ce's eyes paused on the back of his neck for a while, and he cupped his hands towards Queen Mother Wu: "I still have something to do in the palace, so I won't disturb the Queen Mother."

"Wait, Emperor..."

Lin Ce turned his head and glanced at the Empress Dowager Wu: "It is already over the limit for the empress to call the courtiers into the harem without my permission, and the sons and officials will not care about the empress today. But there will be no next time. Including the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, Without my permission, no foreign minister can enter the harem again."
