Chapter 39

Chen Zui was dizzy for a long time. When he woke up, he felt the pain in his body. He fell to the ground and kept shaking. There was gunshot everywhere, as if there were also outside. He grabbed the dead grass on the ground and raised his head, and saw Yu Huaiyong lying opposite him, dead.

Suddenly, someone fell down and hit him heavily on the back. Chen Zui lay on the ground again. The pain made him feel the smell of blood in his mouth. A gun hit the ground next to him, and the soil collapsed on his face. He was so scared that he hugged his head and his mind was empty.

I don’t know how long the gunfight outside lasted. He probably lost too much blood. He became even more dizzy and his eyes were blurred. Then he felt someone move the body away from him, and then someone grabbed his arm and lifted him up.

Perhaps because he was too excited, Chen Zui covered his face with trembling hands: "No... don't kill me..."

"It's me." said a familiar voice.

Chen Zui was stunned for a moment and opened his eyes.

I saw Yu Cheng wearing military uniform and looking at him.

"Yu Cheng!"

He almost thought he was dreaming, so he hugged Yu Cheng in an instant.

Yu Cheng said: "It's okay, it's okay."

Chen Zui looked at him again, looked around again, and saw that there were corpses around him, Lin Zongmao got up from the ground and covered his arm that was shot.

He looked at Yu Cheng again: "Why are you here?"

"I'll take you back first, you're injured." He picked him up, Chen Zui grabbed Yu Cheng's collar tightly, and the pain seemed to suddenly hit him again. He closed his eyes and leaned into Yu Cheng's arms.

Chen Zui fell ill.

The injuries on the body are easily healed, but psychological stimulation takes time to recover.

He was recuperating in the palace and never went out again, but he had heard a lot of things even before leaving the house.

For example, Yu Huaiyong's confidants died and imprisoned. Yu Huaiyong, who was arrogant not long ago, died, his body was directly dug and buried on the ground.

He also heard that someone secretly went to the mass grave to dig out his body and took his body away.

The emperor's coffin was buried 30 days later, but the country could not be without a king for a day, so Zhao Zhun ascended the throne in a hurry.

As Zhao Run wished, this was indeed a relatively stable regime transition, and no more people died. He was still the Prince of Ziwei Palace. Chen Zui was sick, and the little princess Zhao He came to him and Lin Yunying and was taken care of by the couple.

Yu Rong returned to his hometown in Lanhuazhou to recuperate because of his serious illness.

But Qiu Hua said that the peace at the moment was just the deep flow of still water. The upper part looked calm, but the lower part was undercurrent.

"Although Yu Xiang stepped down, his power in the capital for decades is still there. The important officials in the court are either his best friends or his former subordinates. Among the nobles, his prestige is unparalleled. So after the new emperor ascended the throne, he sent someone to invite him several times, but Yu Xiang only agreed to attend the funeral of His Majesty the Emperor, and no one else allowed."

Chen Zui lay on the bed, took a sip of hot water, and said, "Is Zhao Zhun just doing this? I'm afraid that the new emperor will not be concentrated in his hands. How could he let Yu Rong decentralize his power?"

Qiuhua said, "So I'm worried for Yu Cheng." She covered the quilt for Chen Zui and said, "Yu Xiang left, but Yu Cheng stayed. In order to win over the old ministers in the court, the new emperor must also win over Yu Cheng. Everyone knows that Yu Cheng is behind Yu Cheng and his forces. But since the new emperor wants to concentrate the central government, how can he tolerate Yu Cheng? It's probably just a superficial courtesy, but he is afraid that if he makes any mistake, he will be caught by the new emperor."

It's indeed like walking on thin ice.

"I think the current state power is really not good," Chen Zui said: "The emperor is tyrannical. It would be fine if the emperor is a wise monarch, but what if the emperor is stupid and cruel? No matter how high a person's wisdom is, it is not as high as the wisdom of everyone. If the power can be distributed equally and someone can compete with the emperor, it may not be a good thing for the long-term stability of the country."

This is the thinking of modern people, socialist, and the ideal regime is of course the people are the masters of their own country.

But what excited him the most was that what Yu Cheng is doing now is similar.

Zhao Zhun is a man with a strong desire for power. He has been treated coldly in the world for many years. Now that he has become an emperor, he naturally wants to monopolize the power. Since the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is obviously inappropriate to carry out rebellion. The best way is to decentralize power.

Recreate one Yu Huaiyong.

Chen Zui felt both excited and terrible.

After a walk around, they returned. Yu Rong and others had resisted a minister like Yu Huaiyong who had a high power. Now that Yu Huaiyong is dead, they want to reshape another one.

What kind of fate and reincarnation is this?

But fortunately, Yu Cheng's character is better than Yu Huaiyong.

However, it is more difficult for him to get to power than Yu Huaiyong. Zhao Zhun is not the mediocre Zhao Jin. He is cruel and suspicious by nature. He fights for power with him, and he is always at risk of life.

Qiuhua said: "I mean, Yu Cheng is now walking on thin ice. His Highness is so close to him, isn't it okay?"

She sighed and said, "I used to rely on him because His Highness was isolated and helpless and had an unknown prospect. He was indeed the best choice. But now the overall situation has been decided, and the new emperor is very courteous to you. Your best choice is actually to be a rich and idle former queen, like His Highness the Prince. He should not interact with anyone in the political center anymore."

Chen Zui said: "Yu Cheng saved me several times, and I gave my life to him. If I die because of him, I will repay his kindness. Even if he wants to use me, I will not refuse."

Qiuhua didn't say anything, just nodded.

She also understood the truth of gratitude.

Yu Cheng's desire to surrender was quite successful, and the new emperor had some doubts, and she also had it, everyone had it.

Although Yu Cheng annihilated Yu Huaiyong's last trusted troops, everyone understood that this was just a choice of politicians after expedient means and had nothing to do with loyalty. The Yu family had never expressed loyalty to the new emperor.

However, Zhao Zhun had no reason to eliminate the Yu family. Zhao Run, who was supported by Yu Rong, took the initiative to give up the power and position, which was Zhao Run's idea, but it also represented Yu Rong's idea behind him. Yu Cheng killed Yu Huaiyong's remnants, and the Yu family's fame and status were there, and they could not move.

All the sins of the war were attributed to the dead Yu Huaiyong, who was killed by the male queen Chen Zui.

Yu Huaiyong bullies the queen repeatedly and the queen killed him, and the people felt that it was a retribution.

Those who die have reasons to die, and those who live also have reasons to live, and everything seems to be settled.

"Your Highness, Lieutenant General Yu has arrived." Lili bowed and said.

When Chen Zui heard this, he immediately sat up: "Call him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Cheng walked in.

Yu Cheng was promoted from major to lieutenant general, the youngest lieutenant general in the empire and the fastest-rise lieutenant general. This is the sincerity given by Zhao Zhun.

The military seal on Yu Cheng's military uniform also turned into one tiger and two flowers: a golden tiger head, paired with two golden rose flowers.

Qiu Hua bowed to him and bowed and retreated.

Yu Cheng walked to the bed and sat down: "Are you in good health?"

Chen Zui said: "It's much better."

"Are you still having nightmares?"

"Occasionally," Chen Zui asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

"In a few days, the mourning of the late emperor will be. I escorted my father to attend the last few days of the wake." Yu Cheng said: "It seems like I've gained a little weight."

Chen Zui said: "Drink a bunch of tonics every day."

Yu Cheng said, "Let me see your injuries."

Chen Zui unbuttoned his pajamas and turned around to show him his back.

Yu Cheng looked at it and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"I don't feel anything anymore."

"Even so, you should pay attention when sleeping, it is best to lie on your side," said Yu Cheng.

Chen Zui nodded and tied the buttons again.

"You come to see me, it won't affect you, right?" Chen Zui asked.

He also knew that Zhao Zhun treated Yu Cheng with courtesy on the surface, but he wanted to get rid of it quickly behind his back.

"The late emperor has gone, you are still young, and remarriage is also expected," said Yu Cheng.

Chen Zui felt embarrassed when he said so directly.

In fact, since he was injured, he has not been with Yu Cheng much. Yu Cheng was well-behaved when he got along with him, and he became majestic and solemn. Sometimes he couldn't see what Yu Cheng had to him clearly.

Anyway, he fell in love with Yu Cheng.

He had fallen in love with him for a long time, and when Yu Cheng came out from under the dead, he fell in love with him completely.

He used to flirt casually, but he felt quite exciting and excited. Now he fell in love with him, but he felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Yu Cheng said: "After the late emperor is buried, do you want to go back to the palace to live, or ask me to find another residence for you outside?"

Chen Zui said: "It is not convenient to live in the palace as my identity. I have told Zhao Zhun and the others that I will move out and I am already watching the house."

Yu Cheng said, "Since that's the case, don't worry, I'll make arrangements for you."

Chen Zui said: "Okay, you can pick it for me and I'll give you the money. My family just sent me a sum of money."

If it weren't for this money, he would have forgotten that he still had a home.

The Chen family in Yuzhanzhou has nothing else, it is wealth.

Yu Cheng said, "No money. My grandfather's house has a house, so I gave it to my mother. After my mother passed away, I gave it to me. The house was pretty good and the place was clean. I asked someone to organize it and live there."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Zui again: "You are rich."

That tone.

Chen Zui said: "Maybe more money than you."

"Then I'm blessed," said Yu Cheng.

Chen Zui's heart trembled, but Yu Cheng had already stood up: "You rest first, I'll go ahead and take a look."

Chen Zui hurriedly said, "Wait."

Yu Cheng turned around, Chen Zui knelt on the bed and stretched out his arms.

Yu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then came over to hug him, touched his long hair with his hand, and said, "When I arrive at the new house, I will live with you. That house is next to my house."

Chen Zui felt trembling. He was very brave, but after killing people, seeing blood, seeing corpses all over the floor, he was particularly greedy for the warmth of his body. He hugged Yu Cheng, and he felt very at ease.

"Zhao Zhun is not easy to deal with, so be careful."

"Um."

Yu Cheng patted him again, then he let go of his arm, watched Yu Cheng go out, and then lay back into the quilt.
