Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 8

Xu Shouyun was slightly taken aback by the system's voice.

But soon he regained his composure.

Follow Wang Gui to leave.

Walking out of the prison courtyard, the scenery inside the palace came into view. The Great Wei Palace as a whole is much more majestic than the Forbidden City in the previous life. The city wall alone is nine feet high.

Standing in such a place, people will look very small.

Red walls and green tiles are the style of this palace, but it gives people a dull feeling.

"Master Xu, how did you meet His Majesty?"

Wang Gui stood beside Xu Shouyun with a smile on his face.

"On the second day after entering the palace, I really couldn't sleep at night. I walked a few steps outside and met a figure."

"To be honest, this figure is filled with golden light, and it's different at first glance."

"I ventured to greet you, but I didn't expect it to be Her Majesty the Empress."

"It's good luck."

Xu Shouyun smiled and said, he had seen the Great Wei Empress before, so he could only talk nonsense to deal with it.

"So that's how it is. Master Xu is truly blessed and blessed by His Majesty."

Wang Gui smiled and said, but he didn't believe Xu Shouyun's nonsense either.

As the two moved forward, Wang Gui's voice continued to sound: "Master Xu, you have just entered the palace. In fact, the rules in the palace were also taught during the training period."

"Slave servant will not talk about the big principles, just tell Mr. Xu about the situation in the palace."

Wang Gui smiled.

Xu Shouyun nodded. The rules in the palace are nothing more than walking lightly, speaking carefully, and doing things cautiously. Don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and don't say what you shouldn't say.

Keep your mouth shut and do things well, basically there is no problem, unless you are really unlucky and unhappy when you meet the concubines and queens, otherwise, there is really no big problem.

"Also ask the prince to speak frankly."

Xu Shouyun listened carefully.

The latter also does not keep secrets.

"My lord, since the first emperor passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne, there has not been a new concubine in the harem. In other words, the one in charge of the harem is the empress dowager."

"Then there are three concubines, Concubine Wu, Concubine Zhou, and Concubine Su. These three concubines are concubines of the late emperor, and they have great power behind them. They are second only to the Queen Mother in this deep palace."

"My lord Xu is now favored by His Majesty, as long as he doesn't touch the three concubines and the empress dowager, he will be safe and sound in this palace."

Wang Gonggong briefly explained the current division of power in the Wei court.

Empress Dowager, three noble concubines of former emperors.

Xu Shouyun wrote down the three noble concubines. As for the queen mother, logically speaking, with his current status, it was impossible for him to come into contact with this level of existence.

"Your Majesty Xu is lucky. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the palace has become much more peaceful. When the late Emperor was here, I was walking on thin ice and worried day and night."

Wang Gui sighed with emotion, and praised Xu Shouyun's good luck, not only because Xu Shouyun was favored by the emperor, but more importantly, the environment in the palace has improved a lot.

Xu Shouyun also understood this point.

All the emperor's concubines live in the palace, and if women are together, it's just jealousy, wishing to tie the emperor by his side.

But it's different now, the emperor is a woman and will not add concubines. As for male pets, the country is in a turbulent time.

How can it be possible to raise a group of male favorites? This kind of career-minded woman usually starts to feel lonely, empty and cold when she is in her 40s.

It is true to say that, if there is less competition and jealousy, there will be a lot less fighting, and being a eunuch and maid will relieve a lot of pressure.

"Apart from these three concubines, is there anything else we should pay attention to?"

Xu Shouyun asked.

"There are two little princes who need attention."

Wang Gui reminded.

"Little prince?" This time Xu Shouyun was surprised. Except for the emperor, who would dare to enter the palace if there was an emergency call?Not to mention the little prince, not even the prince.

"That's right, Prince Qin's young prince and Yan Wang's young prince, these two will often come to the palace to visit relatives, if your lord sees these two young princes, you must avoid them."

"Especially Little King Qin, there are quite a few slaves who died in the hands of Little King Qin. Although Your Excellency has received the favor of the Emperor, His Majesty has treated these two young princes as well."

When he said this, he fell silent.

Xu Shouyun fell silent for a moment, originally thinking that he would return to Zhao completely. In this huge imperial palace, he was the only real man.

Didn't expect that there are princes and descendants who can come and go at will?
Made, for a moment Xu Shouyun looked a little disgusted.

Moreover, Xu Shouyun is not a child, how could he not guess what the prince's little prince was doing when he went in and out of the palace?
What visiting relatives, cheating children, right?
This Great Wei Empress is really fatuous and incompetent. An emperor who has been mixed up to this level might as well die.

The sooner this Great Wei perishes, the sooner he will be invincible in the world, he will be at ease.

Xu Shouyun thought in his heart.

But from a rational point of view, as a history teacher, Xu Shouyun knew very well what it meant for a woman to be emperor.

Judging from the current information, the route taken by the Great Wei Empress is not to ascend the throne domineeringly, unlike Wu Zetian, who took control of the military and then ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor.

Instead, he ascended the throne in sequence.

According to various etiquette regulations, even though the first emperor had only one heir, the Great Wei Empress, it stands to reason that he should choose a prince's son from the clan royal family to take the throne.

But the result is that the princess succeeded to the throne, and the political information in it is too strong.

Xu Shouyun can think of three levels casually.

On the simplest level, the Great Wei Empress is very powerful, and she is by no means an ordinary person. She succeeded to the throne under the hand-picking of some courtiers and the late emperor.

On a slightly more complicated level, those corrupt officials, powerful ministers and vassal kings, who choose empresses, especially the local vassal kings, are far away.

If the princes in the capital are allowed to seize the opportunity, they will lose their lives. It is better to push the empress to the throne. Anyway, a useless emperor is worse than a tough emperor.

The female emperor is inappropriate after all, as long as she grows stronger, find a reason, find an opportunity, and point directly at the imperial capital, who can stop her?
Finally, at a deeper level, there must be the shadow of the Chu Dynasty. If a useless emperor is enthroned, the biggest beneficiary is the Chu Dynasty.

If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could accept the female emperor, would the people of Wei be willing to accept it?

There is no need to send a single soldier, send three thousand rogues to various places in Wei, and let them make sarcastic remarks if they have nothing to do.

Why is there such a thing as a woman proclaiming emperor?
In a great country, women are emperors?Family members, who knows?
The big silent sub-event happened, family members!
Just doing a little work on the whole will break the public opinion and radiate to the court. When the Wei State is destroyed, the people will not react too violently.

This is called attacking the heart first.

After memorizing these few pieces of information, the two had already walked to a small courtyard.

"Master Xu, this will be your residence from now on. There are four rooms in total. Other father-in-laws have already lived in the other three rooms. You live here on the right."

"Afterwards, the servant will bring you the clothes and cheats. The servant lives in the other courtyard next to it. If there is anything, the lord can just order it."

The other party laughed.

But in one sentence, Xu Shouyun was surprised.

"Secrets?"

Xu Shouyun was slightly curious.
