General Chunyu's mansion held a major funeral, and all the big and small people in the capital who could be called officials came to pay their respects. Even some well-informed officials from other provinces moved to the capital to show their faces in front of the old General Chunyu, whom the new emperor relied most, so as to leave a good impression on Chunyu secretly, and to make more or less convenient when encountering problems in the future.

Everyone knows that the old general Chunyu An is the greatest hero to assist the new emperor and the person who can speak the most on the new emperor. He is worried that there is no reason to curry favor with Chunyu Ling. The death of Chunyu Ling just provided them with an excellent opportunity. Therefore, although it was a funeral, the mood of the people who came to mourn was the opposite. They even rushed to give gifts, saying that it was a ritual, but the gifts were more expensive than the other, and they had a faint momentum of comparison.

Chunyu secretly knew this, but he couldn't say it out loud. While receiving the gift, he was a little nervous.

These ministers are short-sighted! They only saw him helping Li Jian to take the throne, but forgot that the first thing they had to do at the beginning of the throne was to massacre meritorious officials to cover up the crimes they committed to obtain the throne. The reason why Li Jian had not taken action against him was because he still held the military power of Zong Sui. In addition, Zong Sui is going to go to war with Dashun now, Li Jian needs to continue to rely on him. But this is temporary. Chunyu secretly knew that Li Jian wanted to turn against him at any time, so he must hold the power in his hand tightly, and during this period, he must try every means to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible, so that his Chunyu family can be more secure.

Chunyu An was dragging his sick body to continue the visitor, but his wife Ma couldn't bear to see. Are these people coming to pay their respects? The drunken man's intention was not to drink, so don't think she couldn't see it. She was so angry that she had no place to go. She finally found a gap without anyone and caught Chunyu An and vented. While complaining, "I didn't agree to marry Ling'er to Bu Cong, just a great traitor. Our Ling'er is the legitimate daughter! But you have to let her marry. Now, Bu Cong took Ling'er away in order to avenge his own revenge, but he couldn't save Ling'er's life. Tell me, Ling'er is gone, how can you let me live in the future?"

Chunyu secretly felt uncomfortable when he heard this. He said to his wife: "Ling'er is not just your heart flesh, but also my beloved daughter! She is dead, don't say you don't know how to live, I don't know how to live. But so what? We can't really die with you. We have to continue to live, because in addition to Ling'er, Qing'er also needs our help. Madam, you have seen it all these years. Since Ling'er fell off a horse that year, she has been in a daze. Apart from Bu Cong, she resisted almost everyone, including you and me. Seeing that she was getting older and getting older, but her condition did not improve at all, I was also anxious and let her marry her in helplessness!"

"Are you anxious for Ling'er?" Ma pointed to Chunyu's anger and said, "Is it for Ling'er or for your power? You helped Bu Cong get a general's position and also obtained a small amount of military power, which further strengthened your own strength. Do you dare to say that all these are for Ling'er?"

"Other can we do it for whom?" Chunyu stomped his feet, "For Ling'er and for our family, I will not strengthen myself. Could it be that I will wait for Xinjun to cross the river and destroy the bridge and kill us all? Madam! Ling'er is dead, please believe me and stop making trouble!"

Ma is actually a wise person. She knows the pain in Chunyu's heart. After all, the quarrel today is because her daughter is angry in her heart, so she can just vent it. But this does not mean that she forgives Bu Cong!

The Ma family will never forgive the person who made her daughter die. Therefore, today the General's Mansion set up a spirit and only set up Chunyu Ling's spiritual position, but there is no Bu Cong. It is obvious that the Chunyu family doesn't care about the son-in-law. In their hearts, Chunyu Ling will always be the most important daughter.

Chunyu looked at the lady's tears and left, sighed and said to the followers beside him: "Please go to the palace to deliver a letter to the Queen! Ling'er is her sister. She should go home to give her incense sticks to her sister, I believe the emperor can understand it. In addition..." He thought for a while, and said: "Tell the Queen that she would take the initiative to hand over the military power in Bu Cong's hands to the Emperor. No matter who the military power is given, we must first show our attitude. Our Chunyu family doesn't want it." After that, he waved his hand, "Go!"

Chunyu An's words were quickly taken to the palace intact and told to the Queen Chunyu Qing.

Chunyu Qing never expected to receive such a message. He was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react, and asked the person who came again: "What did you just say? Who died?"

"Greeting back, it's the eldest lady, and she... has gone."

"My sister..." Chunyu Qing was a little lost. She and her sister were so close that they talked about everything. The two of them had basically squeezed into the same bed since childhood. It was Chunyu Ling who fell off a horse, which was to save Chunyu Qing who was in danger. Afterwards, she cried so hard that she was so dark because of her sister that she was about to die. She even hit the pillar to die with her sister, but she didn't expect that Chunyu Ling would be alive again. But Chunyu Ling, who came back to life, seemed to have become a different person, and no one recognized him. She talked nonsense all day long, and was also unfamiliar with her, the closest sister, as if she was strangers.

She had made countless efforts to restore Chunyu Ling to her original state, but unfortunately she did not improve anyway. Until the two got married separately, there was no intersection since then, and gradually, the original sisterhood faded.

Now, she has become the empress of Zong Sui, but her sister is dead. Chunyu Qing's tears cannot be controlled. Seeing that she was about to collapse and cry, the servant of General Chunyu's mansion who came to pass the message quickly persuaded him: "My mourn," then took two steps forward and whispered: "The master has something to say to me to bring him into the palace."

Chunyu Qing was stunned, tears were still hanging in his eyes, but the grief was closed. She glanced at the maid, and then ordered the palace maid and eunuch beside her, "You all go down!" It was not until the people left, and then wiped the tears dry, and said, "Speak! What did your father ask you to bring?"

"The master said that the Empress asked the Empress to come out of the palace to mourn the eldest lady, and in front of the emperor, he would also take the initiative to return the part of the military power in the hands of his son-in-law to the Zongsui court."

"Huh?" Chunyu Qing was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why did my father do this? When my brother-in-law dies, the military power should naturally be taken over by my Chunyu family. This is..." She stopped halfway through the words, and smiled bitterly. What are you asking? Can she not know what his father thinks? Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for emperors is to be highly meritorious and overwhelming. The Chunyu family still has a lot of military power. My father did this to show his goodwill to Li Jian, and he wanted to use this to express that the Chunyu family did not want to hold too much military power. She nodded and said to the maid: "I understand, go back! Tell my father that I will do what he said."

The maid bowed and left the hall, and her tears quickly hung up again. The maid Ruohong came in and held a plain dress in her hand. Chunyu Qing changed the clothes and took Ruohong and the eunuch Wuyan to see Li Jian.

Li Jian naturally had already received the news. When he saw the queen coming in plain clothes, he quickly stood up to greet him. Without waiting for Chunyu Qing to bow to him, he took the initiative to say, "Queen, don't be too polite. I am also extremely sad when I have something like that at home. I heard that the queen had a very good relationship with my sister when she was at her parents' home. I know that you must be feeling uncomfortable and were about to go and see you, but I didn't expect the queen to come first."

Chunyu Qing cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining. She said to Li Jian: "I thank you for your kindness. I want to ask the emperor to let me go out of the palace to bring incense sticks to my sister. My sister has treated me very well since I was a child. Now she has suddenly gone. I feel so uncomfortable."

"That's right." Li Jian held her hand and said, "I should have gone with you, but the battle between Zong Sui and Dashun is imminent, and the battle reports ahead are one after another, so I really can't be busy. Let the queen go for me! Tell the old general to let him mourn, but you must not hurt your body because of this. Zong Sui's territory still needs him to protect!"

"Is the war started?" Chunyu Qing suddenly asked this question. After saying that, he immediately noticed his own words and quickly explained: "Just just now, the emperor said that there was a report of the war. Could it be that the fight had started? If this is true, I will definitely tell him when I see my father in a while that no matter how important the family matters is, it is not as important as the state affairs, so that he must not delay the war."

Li Jian shook his head, "The war has not started yet, the queen does not need to worry. The old general is the most important thing to take care of himself. In addition, about the military power in General Bu's hands..."

"I am about to talk to the emperor about this." Chunyu Qing spoke, and also looked at Li Jian and carefully observed his reaction.

When Li Jian heard Chunyu Qing answering this, his eyes shrank twice, and his words also had some undetectable coldness: "Oh? What do the queen say? But I hope I will hand over the military power in my hands to the old general?"

"Emperor." Chunyu Qing took two steps back and knelt down, "Emperor, what I want is exactly the opposite of what the emperor said. I want to tell the emperor that since my brother-in-law has died, the military power he originally held should be returned to the emperor and taken to the emperor's command."

"Thank you back to me?" Li Jian was a little surprised. "General Bu is the beloved son-in-law of the veteran General Chunyu. It is natural to hand over the military power to the Chunyu family. I was still preparing to tell the queen that he wanted to let the veteran General Chunyu take over! Unexpectedly, the queen actually..."

"Emperor." Chunyu Qing interrupted him and said, "Since ancient times, ministers have been obeyed by the king. No matter how much credit he has, they are ministers of the king. The country's soldiers are also soldiers of the king. There is no reason to give them to the ministers for granted. What's more, I am your wife, and my name is in the royal family. As the queen of Zong Sui, the first thing I think of is your interests. I believe that the military power is in the hands of the emperor, so that Zong Sui is more confident. So I ask the emperor not to give that part of the military power to the Chunyu family, and ask the emperor to take it under his command!"
