The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 352 Game
"If you want me to tell you, it's a good thing you didn't see it."

Lin Zisu giggled, "Sister Qi, aren't you afraid that your son will be jealous?"

It was only then that Chen Yuqi thought of her current status of being married.

According to the rules in Beijing, women to be married are not allowed to walk around at will.If it is an ordinary boudoir girl, she must be honestly staying in the boudoir at this time, preparing the things needed for marriage.

However, she has always disliked red tape, and the Dian Palace did not expect her to be a quiet lady.

So even though the wedding date was fixed, it was still the same as usual.

Hearing Lin Zisu mention Yang Xingyao, Chen Yuqi pouted, "I don't care about him, I have such a temper, if he doesn't like it and gets angry with me, then it's up to him."

"My sister Qi, how dare the prince be angry with you."

Lin Zisu stretched out her slender hand and pointed out the window, "Look, he bought so many properties in Beijing, which shows his intentions. When you become the imperial concubine, all these properties will belong to you. "

Chen Yuqi suddenly felt dizzy, "If you let me take care of these things, it will kill me!"

The two girls chatted and laughed for a while, and then several maidservants came in with more than a dozen pieces of cloth.

Because Chen Yuqi was the future wife of the shop owner, the shopkeeper intentionally flattered her, and the fabrics she sent were all rare things.

When Yang Xingyao came, the two women were holding a piece of silk brocade with cloud patterns and looking at it carefully.

Seeing Yang Xingyao enter the door, Chen Yuqi hurriedly waved to him, "I think the fabric looks good, how about asking the embroiderer to make you a regular dress?"

Yang Xingyao nodded with a smile, as a response to Chen Yuqi, and then saluted Lin Zisu, who quickly returned the salute.

Seeing that the two were so rigid about etiquette, Chen Yuqi was quite helpless, and said to Yang Xingyao: "I invite you, a dog-headed military commander, to come here. I'm not asking you to be polite. Susu has already come. What on earth do you have to say? Just say it."

Both Yang Xingyao and Lin Zisu laughed, and Yang Xingyao sat down opposite Chen Yuqi, cupped his hands at Lin Zisu and said, "Princess, then I'll just say it straight, the concubine's whole heart is to justify the name of the prince, and her plan is not inappropriate. Now that no one in the court dares to criticize the prince, it shows its effectiveness. But there is a limit to everything, and now is not a good time for the Gu family to overturn the case. I foolishly think that the princess can calm down."

Lin Zisu immediately frowned, "Please advise, Your Majesty."

Yang Xingyao was no longer polite, and said in a low voice: "The ins and outs of Gu Menglong's case must have been clear to the princess. On the surface, this case is a dispute between scholars from the north and the south, but in fact it is a contest between your majesty and courtiers. Close relatives, it is really inappropriate to get involved."

"Jiangnan and Shannan have always been places of splendid culture. Since the founding of the Taizu for more than a hundred years, major political affairs have been controlled by the township parties in the two places, especially after Emperor Ruizong. Your Majesty has always had the ambition of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been influenced by Trapped by the courtiers, the literature cannot be arbitrarily determined inside, and the military cannot be used to show its prestige outside, so the contradiction between the northern and southern scholars is intended to contain the township party and pave the way for the reform of the country."

"However, the affairs of the court have accumulated evils for a long time, and they cannot be achieved overnight. Even if your Majesty is all over the world, how can you accomplish things in a hurry? Your Majesty hastily provoked a dispute between the North and the South, so that the courtiers became obsessed with party disputes, and the state affairs were barren. Follow the example of Han Jing and punish Chao Cuo, and settle the incident with the crime of Gu Menglong."

What Yang Xingyao said clearly and logically, Lin Zisu frowned more and more when he heard it.

Gu Menglong is a representative figure launched by the emperor, and Gu Menglong's conviction means that the emperor has made a compromise with the township party.

However, the matter was not over. Because the Northern Party lost power, the Southern Party took advantage of the case of Gu Menglong to create the Dongshan Book Case, implicating all political opponents in it. Hundreds of officials from the Northern Party were either confiscated or demoted.

Since then, the Southern Party has dominated the ruling and opposition parties.

But the northern party's vitality was seriously injured, and even with the emperor's support, it would be difficult to compete with the southern party.

Not to mention, in recent years, the Northern Party's talents have withered, and only Lu Zhiyuan and Tantaisong are outstanding officials in Beijing and China.

There are not many officials from all over the provinces, and officials from the Southern Party.

"The Southern Party has controlled the government for a long time, and His Majesty has long been dissatisfied, but why did he choose Qian Minzhong as the chief assistant?"

This is also a question that Lin Zisu has been thinking about recently. After listening to Yang Xingyao's question, he answered after thinking: "Qian Minzhong has been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and his disciples and old officials echo each other from afar. In this troubled time, if Your Majesty wants to make government orders smooth, there is no more suitable leader than Qian Minzhong." Auxiliary candidates."

"What the concubine said was that if it was a peaceful day, His Majesty would have taken the position of Qian Minzhong's first assistant. But right now, there are many dangers, and we can only use his power to restrain the various places."

Yang Xingyao said with a smile: "Right now is the time when Qian Minzhong is being reused. If the princess only asks His Majesty for matters in the backyard, His Majesty must be willing to make decisions for the princess. But the princess wants to reverse the case for Gu Menglong and rediscover the dispute between the North and the South. Didn't you make it difficult for His Majesty?"

Lin Zisu bowed her head in silence for a moment, then raised her head and smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words are indeed right, but now that the arrow is on the line, I have to say it. I wonder if Your Majesty has a good plan?"

Yang Xingyao coughed lightly, "everyone in Beijing knows that the little princess of Dun Wang's mansion defeated more than a dozen officials by herself, even the censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not so capable. The matter has already alarmed the government and the public, so why bother to quarrel with Qian Minzhong for the sake of the past, to embarrass His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am a woman, and I don't know much about government affairs. These days, I just deal with some trivial matters in the backyard. How can I compare with those adults in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Lin Zisu blinked, her face full of innocence.

She naturally knew that Qian Minzhong should not move lightly.

However, she knows better that Dayan's difficulties today are largely caused by these township party members.

Since the emperor has such thoughts, she doesn't mind being an offending knife.

She is already the emperor's daughter-in-law, so it is impossible for the emperor to push her out like he did to Gu Menglong, right?

The country was in turmoil, and she wanted to force the emperor to make a decision.

As for avenging Gu Lanzhou's grievances, it was a matter of convenience. As long as the emperor is willing to eliminate the township party, the time for the Gu family to reverse the case is not far away.

Of course, she was unwilling to admit that if Qian Minzhong fell, Xie Xi would benefit a lot from it.

"If the princess insists on going her own way, she can only wait for the opportunity."

Seeing Lin Zisu's stubbornness, Yang Xingyao had no choice but to say, "Bei Di was defeated, or..."

Before Yang Xingyao finished speaking, a hurried voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message here."

A guard entered the door and presented the letter. The more Yang Xingyao looked at it, his face became more solemn. At the end, his hands trembled a little.

Both Lin Zisu and Chen Yuqi saw Yang Xingyao flustered for the first time, and they all looked at him with inquiring eyes, "My lord, what happened?"

Yang Xingyao raised his head and looked at Chen Yuqi, with thousands of emotions in his eyes.

"Beidi Xueye stormed, and the Qin capital was destroyed."
