Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 790 The emperor is cheating (28)

The emperor summoned Lu Yuan!
This news was quickly learned by the two bosses in the harem.

Queen Mother: ...Min Jiu has finally enlightened and no longer gives up his eyes and ears for some false fame?

Gu Qingcheng: ...What did he hear again?In order to investigate this matter, he did not hesitate to activate the embroidered clothes guard?
If it was just the Queen Mother's secret, she probably wouldn't have used the embroidered clothes guard as a big killer.

Could it be that Min Huang also heard some secret that was more explosive and more threatening to his position?
Gu Qingcheng's guess seems to be closer to the truth, not because she is smarter than the Queen Mother, but because of the "information bias" between the two.

Gu Qingcheng: ...I can't help it, I'm worried.

However, Gu Qingcheng would not get carried away because of this, nor would he underestimate the Queen Mother and other old foxes.

Gu Qingcheng bets that it won't take long for the Queen Mother and the others to notice something unusual about Min Huang.

Of course, these are all for later.

For now, Gu Qingcheng will continue to investigate.

She would follow the embroidery guard's thread and deduce what Min Huang was investigating.

The original owner, Queen Gu, left a lot of political resources, and Gu Qingcheng will "make the best use of them"!
In addition, Gu Qingcheng will also keep an eye on Concubine Yu.

Since it has been determined that the other party is a reborn girl, she should also have some "plug-ins".

Either they are familiar with the plot, or they have the means to counter Min Huang's supernatural powers.

Otherwise, Concubine Yu was a loser in her previous life. If "Heaven" did not give her some help, her rebirth would be a waste of her rebirth quota.

"Yes! I obey your orders!"

Gu Qingcheng gave a few orders, and the people in the palace did not hesitate at all.

This is also the "remnant" left by Queen Gu - the emperor is well-mannered and has sufficient manpower.

If Gu Qingcheng wants to do something, he just needs to give instructions.

The manpower in the palace was restricted by the high palace walls, but she could also mobilize some people from the Gu family.

Jingzhao Gu family, a family with a history of 600 years.

I don’t know how many generations the dynasty has changed, but this family has always stood firm.

To say that he is a local snake in the capital is definitely not an exaggeration.

The aristocratic family can already support tribes and private soldiers, and the Gu family has two to three thousand warriors on display.

Of course, most of these people are in Gushiwu Fort outside the capital.

After all, in the place where the emperor is the most powerful, no matter how powerful the family is, they cannot have too many armed forces.

However, in addition to the superficial tribes, secretly, the aristocratic families also support retainers and dead soldiers.

What's more, even the beggars and knights on the street are inextricably related to the aristocratic family.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Gu Qingcheng thinks about it, the information network that the Gu family can provide her is no worse than that of Xiuyiwei.

"...The aristocratic family in this small world is very powerful!"

Gu Qingcheng perfectly integrated the memory of the original owner and has a very deep understanding of the world.

Both she and the original owner came from a noble family.

However, Gu Qingcheng has already transcended the limitations of her status. She will more often look at the entire dynasty from the perspective of a superior—

If the family is powerful, the imperial power cannot be subverted.

And the aristocratic family in this small world is more deeply rooted and bigger than the aristocratic family in Gu Qingcheng's own world.

"No wonder the late emperor created the embroidered clothes guard. If he didn't do this, he would not only be deaf and blind, but he would also be 'monitored' by the family."

"Min Huang gave up the Xiuyiwei for various reasons. It cannot be said that he was wrong, but it was also an unwise decision."

The aristocratic family is too powerful, and the old nobles are not fuel-efficient lamps.

The newly emerging noble clans began to compete for political resources, and fierce conflicts between the old and new clans would one day break out.

There are also warriors like the Yu family who have been operating in the border areas for decades——

There are many difficulties.

However, it is still the same saying, "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies."

Don't rush, just take your time.

And Min Huang’s plug-in——

"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, it seems that you are right to worry. In the past few days, apart from the meeting on the first day of the new year, Min Huang has always looked like he 'sees through everything' in the meeting hall."

"Several bosses were shocked and at the same time began to have doubts."

"Oh, I was watching the whole process, and suddenly I realized that these old foxes are really powerful."

"They are limited by the times and their knowledge, and they have never thought that Min Huang has the incredible magical power of 'reading minds', but they know how to observe words and colors, and are well versed in the way of seeing into people's hearts."

"Relying on his mind-reading skills, Min Huang easily refuted several old ministers who had different opinions, and even revealed some of the secrets they had hidden in their hearts."

"In the beginning, it did achieve excellent results, and it also made the courtiers think that the new king was 'unfathomable' and 'all-knowing'."

"But, Min Huang is so magical, so magical that he seems to be possessed by a god... A little emperor who has been on the throne for three years and has been in charge for only half a year is suddenly more sophisticated than the late emperor who has ruled the world for 30 years. Really It’s very suspicious.”

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Min Huang is smart enough and powerful enough.

People are born to be emperors, right?

However, a natural-born politician should not be a "happy grudge" like Min Huang.

Whether the means are high-end and sophisticated enough, you can tell at a glance if you are a real court fox.

Min Huang's various performances were more like "help" than a result of his nature.

Huoshui opened his God's perspective and watched the drama for several days, finally understanding what Gu Qingcheng said.A boss is a boss, even if he doesn't have magical powers, he is still awesome.

Huoshui was finally able to understand why Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven said that mind-reading might not necessarily be a magical power, but would most likely become a "deep pit".

Gu Qingcheng: ...

Min Huang was quite restrained and did not completely punish the courtiers who "harbored evil intentions" one by one.

Because, as she said before, if we really have to use the absolute moral standards of good and evil, good and bad to judge, there is almost no good person in the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty.

As for Min Huang, listening to the courtiers who had "loyalty" written on their faces and words of allegiance on their lips, he could hear a completely different voice——

Tsk tsk, that is, the male protagonist, if it were an ordinary person, he would have exploded long ago.

However, Min Huang only "refuted" a few ministers and did not drag 99% of the courtiers to punish him. He was already very rational and restrained!
"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, tell me, will Min Huang overturn?"

"Oh, I suddenly feel that the so-called mind-reading skills are not that good."

"It's rare to be confused. It's just like bacteria. The presence of bacteria will definitely make people uncomfortable, but if it is truly sterile, people will not be able to live a normal life."

"It's the same with people! If you can't be absolutely selfless and have no distracting thoughts, how can you expect others to be like this?"

Perhaps Huoshui had been greatly stimulated in the meeting hall in the past few days, so he kept talking endlessly in Gu Qingcheng's ears.

Gu Qingcheng remained calm and did not show any curiosity, letting the disaster "vent".

Then, she would extract many key points from Huoshui's "gossip".

Although she was not in the meeting hall, she could understand the happenings in the court immediately.

For example, severe droughts occurred in Yuzhou and Qizhou, and local officials failed to provide disaster relief, which has triggered small groups of civil unrest.

Another example is that several subordinate countries in southern Xinjiang took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and the unstable foundation to try to cause chaos and frequently caused trouble on the border.

Several generals with martial arts backgrounds "asked for battle" one after another.

Officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs often complain about poverty - no money!No money!No money!
No money for disaster relief!

There is even less money to fight!
In addition to these government affairs, some court officials were punished because of Min Huang's magical power.

After Yu Heng, several more chief officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War were punished with canes.

Several chief officials of the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites were reprimanded by the court. Although they were not punished by the court, they still lost their dignity.

Among them were the concubine's father and brothers.

Concubine Yu's uncle, Concubine Cui De's grandfather, Concubine Su Shu's uncle, Concubine Dong Xian's eldest brother...

Of course, Queen Gu's family was not spared either.

Empress Gu's grandfather, Mr. Gu, a veteran of the three dynasties, was highly respected, rigorous in his actions, and had no distracting thoughts (this is the key point!), so he was not attacked by Min Huang.

Empress Gu's father and cousin's uncle were slightly inferior. Min Huang caught their pigtails and reprimanded them in court.

The dignified father-in-law was humiliated in public, and the others were no exception.

The Gu family was also "established" by Min Huang!

"Your Majesty, aren't you angry?"

"why are you mad?"

"Min Huang treats the Gu family like this, he clearly doesn't care about you."

Love the house and the crow, or you can hate the house and the crow.

Huoshui is a real character.

After hearing this, Gu Qingcheng chuckled and said, "Haoshui, please don't say such stupid things in the future."

No matter what she cared about, she and Min Huang were not really in a relationship.

Cooperation is cooperation, and it must not have anything to do with feelings.

Min Huang would reprimand the Gu family in court, definitely because he had his own interests in mind.

As for the Gu family, after enduring Min Huang's blame, they were not really passively beaten.

Afterwards, if Min Huang didn't take the initiative to cede certain interests, the Gu family would take it themselves.

As for Min Huang, if he still wants to use the Gu family as a raft next time, haha, the scene will not be so "harmonious".

The court has always been a battleground for power, not a place for romance.

The Gu family was reprimanded by Min Huang. Ultimately, it was the Gu family who "made the mistake" first.

Well, Min Huang was well-founded, how could Gu Qingcheng vent his anger?
"But, but, Min Huang is deceiving people by relying on mind reading, and he has no evidence!" Huoshui was still a little unconvinced.

Gu Qingcheng's smile became even brighter, "Yes, you also know that he has no evidence!"

At first, the courtiers, including the Gu family, were unprepared and were caught off guard by Min Huang.

Moreover, they couldn't figure out whether Min Huang was really in control of everything or if he was bluffing.

However, it won't take long for these court bosses to notice something unusual.

Huoshui: ...Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is so wise!
The conversation between one person and one person a few days ago was quickly verified.

Huoshui: "As expected, some big bosses have begun to suspect, and they tried to resist in the court."

Isn't Min Huang able to reveal the secrets (illegal activities) of a certain courtier with just his mouth? Then continue, are there any witnesses or physical evidence?

Min Huang:......

PS: Thank you dear Qin Mian for the reward, thank you dear friends for your support, thank you!
