Yupo Yunhun and the Man-made King

At the end of the second day, Zhao Ying's family members arrived outside Guangqumen.The civil and military officials in the city had already been waiting there, and directly knelt outside the city to welcome them with the courtesy of a monarch.Zhao Ying herself was quite surprised that things went so smoothly.

After entering the inner city, Yan Luan asked Chang Lie and Yan Shuang to accompany Zhao Ying, and brought the housekeeper Lu Tong and others back to the previous Yan Mansion.

After entering Yan's mansion, I saw many servants cleaning and tidying up inside.Lu Tong asked someone to ask, and he knew that these were the servants of Chen Wenying, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and he specially transferred Yan's mansion to make some preparations for Yan Luan's return to the mansion.Lu Tong thanked those people, tipped some money, and took over the cleaning job.Yan Luan returned to her bedroom and found that everything was still the same as when she left.When I came to the study room again, I saw a lot of books from the previous ten years on the shelf.Knowing that Zhao Xuan must have deliberately kept his house, he felt sad again.

At this time, someone came to report that Mr. Chen, the minister of punishment, asked to see him.

Yan Luan rushed out to greet her, and she saw Chen Wenying in official uniform led by her servants into the mansion.Yan Luan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Yanhua, don't come here without any harm."

Chen Wenying also smiled and said, "Ling'an, long time no see."

Yan Luan let Chen Wenying to the study, someone had already served tea.Chen Wenying looked at the servants who shuttled back and forth in the courtyard, and said, "You brought so many people here?"

Yan Luan smiled and said: "I only have one sister-in-law who cooks at home, and I didn't bring it this time. These are people from the palace. If the prince said it was inconvenient to bring them into the palace, they would be placed here first."

Chen Wenying lowered her head and took a sip of tea, said: "The emperor is very kind to you."

Yan Luan was stunned for a moment, knowing that Chen Wenying was reminding herself of calling Zhao Ying, so she said with a smile: "I'm used to it, and I have to pay more attention in the future. I don't think everyone has entered the palace with the protection of Shengjia, why are you come to me?"

Chen Wenying said with a smile: "All the people who accompanied the emperor into the palace were the former emperor's confidantes, how can I be qualified? Besides, I also want to come to see you earlier."

Yan Luan said with a smile: "Before when the emperor was the regent, he needed to have some confidantes among the officials. From now on, the emperor is the master of the world, and everyone should be loyal to the emperor. So there is a difference between far and near?"

Chen Wenying said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about my objection to the emperor's ascension to the throne. In fact, I am very happy that the emperor will succeed me this time."

Yan Luan slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Yanhua, you seem to have changed a little?"

Chen Wenying said: "Yes, it's nothing more than a little chilling. During the ten-year coup in Xintai, it's okay for the late emperor to eradicate King An's party. Why are you involved? There are many friends and subordinates of yours who have been affected. It's a drag. Since then, I've felt that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold. In addition, the first emperor's three years of personal administration, the governance of the country, compared with the previous ten years of the emperor's regent, is too much worse."

Yan Luan said sadly: "It's my fault, I didn't teach the late emperor well."

Chen Wenying comforted her, "You spent ten years working hard for the late emperor, and you almost gave up your life later on. What's wrong with that? You should think about how to assist the emperor."

Yan Luan said: "Looking at today's situation, how can the emperor use my little power?"

Chen Wenying said with a smile: "The emperor has always appreciated you, I have seen it before, I am afraid you will not be able to hide if you want to relax. You are tired all the way, take a good rest, I am leaving."

On the second day, Zhao Ying went to the early court, discussed with the ministers, and set the date of ascension to the throne in one month.The officials said some words of praise to Zhao Ying, and said that when Zhao Ying was the regent before, he treated them very politely.Somehow, someone brought the topic to Yan Luan.Then, someone recommended Yan Luan to become an official again.But there were also some people who opposed it, and the one who opposed it the most was Zhao Ying's former confidant, Xie Zihu, the former minister of household affairs.This time Zhao Ying returned to the court, although he did not officially issue an imperial decree, but Xie Zihu will soon be reinstated as an official, or even higher than before.

After being disturbed by the crowd for a while, Xie Zihu said: "Your Majesty, Yan Luan is a man with deep scheming and despicable methods; he looks elegant, but is actually treacherous. This person must never become an official again."

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "Xie Aiqing's sixteen-character comment on Yan Luan is quite pertinent."

Chen Wenying left the class, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Luan has been an official for ten years. He has been conscientious and dedicated. Unnecessary charges have been settled. The emperor is the son of Shengming, and he will rehabilitate Yan Luan."

Zhao Ying said, "What crime is Yan Luan charged with?"

Chen Wenying said: "It's a collusion with the suzerain."

Zhao Ying snorted coldly and said, "That means he colluded with me? I don't know when and how he colluded with me."

Xie Zihu said: "Exactly, Your Majesty, Yan Luan was a frequent visitor to the palace before, and everyone in the court thought he was a fan of the Emperor. But he secretly cultivated his party members and opposed the Emperor everywhere, which put the Emperor in danger. Later, when he saw that he was suspicious of the late emperor, it was his own fault. Your Majesty, such despicable people should never be used again."

The more Zhao Ying heard it, the more ugly his face became, and he said unhappily when he heard this: "Okay, Xie Aiqing, the more you talk, the more you go too far. Yan Luan is an important minister of Emperor Taizong, and he was loyal to the late emperor when he opposed me, and he is not a gentleman. Little man's words."

Li Jingshan, who was already offering wine to Guozijian, said: "Your Majesty, in the tenth year of Xintai, Yan Luan sacrificed himself to escort him on an outlying island. I don't know if your majesty remembers."

Zhao Ying said: "I am not an ungrateful person, of course I remember."

Li Jingshan said: "I was only the county magistrate of Qipin back then. I have never seen what Master Xie said about how Yan Luan went against the emperor. But Yan Luan sacrificed his life for the sake of escorting him, and he suffered a serious illness. I have seen it with my own eyes. .”

Zhao Ying said thoughtfully: "Indeed, it's vivid in my memory."

All the ministers had heard about the affairs between Yan Luan and Zhao Ying after he returned to his hometown. Seeing Zhao Ying defending Yan Luan like this, he would not say anything unfavorable to Yan Luan.Xu Zuhui, the eldest brother of Empress Xu, said: "Your Majesty, Yan Luan was wronged when he was convicted and dismissed as an official. Now it's time for the official to be reinstated."

Xie Zihu sneered at Xu Zuhui: "Your father was pissed to death because of Yan Luan's framing, and my nephew forgot so soon?"

Xu Zuhui said: "My father died of illness"

Xie Zihu said: "Nephew, I also know why you support Yan Luan to become an official. It's just because Yan Luan is the teacher of the third prince. You want Yan Luan to help the third prince, right? I advise you to save some time, Yan Luan It’s not good to teach the third prince badly.” Then he said to Zhao Ying: “Your Majesty, it’s a serious crime for a foreign minister to befriend the prince, Yan Luan…”

Zhao Ying interrupted Xie Zihu coldly, saying: "Xie Aiqing, my father-in-law was implicated by me back then. Yan Luan became Chi'er's husband, and I went to invite him." Then he said to Chen Wenying: "Chen Aiqing, strict Luan's house was ransacked, did you find any large sums of gold and silver or prohibited items?"

Chen Wenying said: "Reporting to the emperor, except for some ancient books that are worth some money, the Yan family can be said to be a destitute family."

Zhao Ying nodded and said: "So Yan Luan's only crime is colluding with me. I can prove that he did not conspire with me to do anything against the late emperor. Yan Luan was not guilty of the crime back then, and of course the official will be reinstated. "

Xie Zihu still did not give up, and said: "Please think twice, Your Majesty..."

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Aiqing. Yan Luan is my fellow countryman and Chi'er's husband. Is it okay for me to be nepotism for once?"

Xie Zihu didn't dare to say any more, bowed and saluted, and returned to the class.

Zhao Ying said again: "I only heard the word Yan Luan all morning, and the quarreling gave me a headache. Do you have anything else to do? I'm going to retire today."
