Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

It was the coldest time of winter when Xia Tuyi died of serious illness and was promoted to Concubine Xia.

The emperor had been away from court for three days, unable to control himself with grief.

News gradually spread among the people that the emperor wanted to build a mausoleum for his beloved concubine.

Yiman took his close ministers to visit the market incognito to understand the sentiments of the people.

"Girl, look, these are Fanbang gadgets shipped from Shunnan City."

Yiman glanced at Han Yan and looked over with a smile.

"I heard that the people are discussing the burial of Concubine Xia?"

Jiang Lu followed Yiman's footsteps and lowered his voice, "Actually, the people appeared suddenly. I'm afraid someone is testing them."

Yiman nodded, "Probably the emperor. I heard that even the coffins are transported into the palace from the side door layer by layer?"

"Yes, Wei Chen did some calculations. If the seven-layer coffin is assembled, it will not even be able to enter the side door of the palace gate."

"Seventh floor?"

"This is a violation of regulations."

Yiman listened to the discussion of the people behind him and lowered his eyes, "Don't the queen and the court have any objections?"

"There is no news from the court yet. His Majesty the palace has blocked the news. The Queen went to Yanying Hall once, but she didn't know about it afterwards. Did she pass the news to the court?"

Yiman sighed, "Xia Tieyi hasn't been put into the seven-story coffin yet, so don't worry. If you want to shock the government and the public, you have to wait for the emperor to finish everything. Didn't you also say that the seven-story coffin can be accessed from the side door? You can’t get out. Either go through the main entrance of Fengmen, or you have to dismantle the side door.”

"How can this be done? Since ancient times, only the emperor and the empress can enter and leave the main entrance of Fengmen. Even if it is a side entrance for concubines to enter and exit, there is no reason to start construction. This is a serious crime against the ancestors. Can your majesty still risk the world and not violate it?"

Yiman looked at the trinket he bought from Pinecone in his hand and smiled slightly, "Who knows? I heard that when Xia Tongyi died, her whole body was fragrant and extremely beautiful. It was a scene that Your Majesty had never seen before."

In the morning of the next day, a minister impeached Concubine Xia's funeral ceremony, and the emperor directly overturned the memorial.

Walking out of Hanyuan Hall, the surroundings were filled with the sighs of Qingliu Censor.

"Princess, go this way."

Suddenly, the censors seemed to have heard something, and their eyes turned to Yi Man's face.

Yiman was suddenly stared at by more than a dozen people, looking over in confusion.

"Princess, please advise Your Majesty."

"Yes, princess, you and your majesty have a deep love for each other, and your majesty will definitely listen to you."

"Your Majesty actually wants to break ground on the side door for that demon concubine. How can this be done?"

"Princess"

"Princess—"

Yiman clicked his tongue, frowned, and the surrounding voices gradually became quiet.

"Are some of you not in favor of me entering the palace and entering the court? Why are you begging me now?"

Seeing a dozen Yanguan Yushi looking at each other, they turned around and left with expressionless expressions.

It's not that she has no way to dispel the emperor's idea, but because she also contributed to this matter, it is good for her that the emperor does such a ridiculous thing.

Nowadays, both inside and outside the government, and even among the people, have become accustomed to her handling of government affairs. It is time to break the stable situation between her and the emperor.

Only when the emperor loses his virtue can she occupy a more favorable situation.

Half a month later, the emperor wanted to demolish the Shengde Gate so that Concubine Xia's coffin could be safely removed from the palace mausoleum.All the officials knelt in front of Shengde Gate, blocking Concubine Xia's coffin and coffin.

There was a lot of discussion inside and outside the court, and even among the people.

Yiman sat in the study and watched the impeachment report leisurely.

"Princess, these are all reported by hundreds of officials. They say that Concubine Xia has overstepped her control and begged Your Majesty to take back her order."

Yiman took a look and said, "Are there more at Zhongshu?"

Han Yan nodded, "Yes, Mr. Zuo sent everything to Yanying Palace intact. I heard from the two provinces in the palace that His Majesty didn't even look at it, just swept it to the ground and lost his temper. .”

"You pick out the people's livelihood and military affairs for me, and I won't read the rest."

"Yes, it's okay, princess. There are a lot of discussions inside and outside the court, saying that the demon concubine is harming the country. Does the princess really not want to take care of it?"

Yiman opened the memorial and said, "Xia Tieyi is dead, which one of your eyes saw that she misled the country? Aren't these all caused by the emperor?"

Seeing that Han Yan was at a loss for words, he closed the memorial and said, "One is declining, the other is ebbing. You only heard the voice blaming the emperor, but can you hear other voices?"

Han Yan hesitated and said: "It seems that the eldest princess is still being asked to temporarily take charge of the government?" "Not only that, there are also people who are asking for the thirteenth prince to succeed. Most of the people who are asking for this are royalists or die-hards."

"So, Princess, you don't care?"

"There's no rush. If they think the Thirteenth Prince can suppress the current situation, they can let the Thirteenth Prince come in. Anyway, one day they will understand clearly, Daling, who is in charge."

More than a month later, the emperor wanted to establish the thirteenth prince as the crown prince. However, because there were still imperial grandsons in the East Palace, hundreds of officials opposed it, so he recruited the thirteenth prince internally and ordered him to supervise the country.

The Thirteenth Prince is not familiar with government affairs and cannot suppress the ministers.

The eldest princess stayed awake and sleeping all day long in the princess's palace. Each government office sent memorials one after another and worked with Zhongshu to handle important military and political affairs.

Yiman shrank his hands and feet and buried his face in Zhou Yu's collar.

"It's already spring, why is it still so cold?"

Zhou Yu sat on the side of the imperial concubine's couch and reached out to pull the cloak over, covering Yiman who was wrapped in quilt.

"I'll add some more silver carbon."

Yiman hugged Zhou Yu's waist with both hands, "No, I'm cold, and I'm not allowed to let anyone come in to warm me up. I just want to stay with you. Why don't you take off your clothes and help me warm up?"

Zhou Yu had a helpless smile in his eyes, "It's daytime now and we're not married yet."

Yiman rolled his eyes silently, "Then when are you going to get married?"

Zhou Yu smiled and hugged Yiman together with the quilt, "It's okay, even tomorrow."

He turned his eyes and said, "How do I remember that someone said that he wanted to surrender to me in person? Why don't you come to live in the house first, and wait until I am satisfied with the service - ah -"

"Princess--"

Hearing Lu Bo's voice, Manman panicked and grabbed Zhou Yu's collar and stood up.

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Jiang Lu is here."

Yiman looked at Zhou Yu in panic, grabbed Zhou Yu's messy clothes and stood up.

Zhou Yu stood up expressionlessly to help Yiman tidy up his clothes, then tidied up the couch where the imperial concubine was taking a nap, and walked behind the screen.

Yiman laughed out loud when he saw Zhou Yu's flowing movements.

After sitting back behind the desk, Yiman cleared his throat and said, "Come in."

Lu Bo brought Jiang Lu in.

"See Princess."

Yiman responded, "Get up and sit down."

"Thank you, princess."

"How come today?"

Jiang Lu said solemnly, "The folk children were passing the ballads. Wei Chen listened to it in person this morning. The general meaning is——"

Yiman smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me."

"Yes, the general meaning is 'the transformation of a man into a woman will lead to torture in the palace, and the transformation of a woman into a man and woman will lead to political administration'."

Yiman chuckled, "Does this mean that I will seek power and usurp the throne, or that I will act viciously, or that Daling is on the verge of subjugation?"

Jiang Lu lowered his head cautiously, "Wei Chen is afraid that someone will spread these rumors and deliberately tests."

He smiled broadly and said, "You even secretly scolded me for being a man. Of course, someone is deliberately testing me. What's going on in the palace?"

Lu Bo took a step forward, "The Thirteenth Prince often goes to the Chongwen Pavilion. Mr. Zuo has given guidance, but I heard from people in the palace that the Thirteenth Prince is hesitant and procrastinating, and Mr. Zuo often sighs. Your Majesty still claims to be ill, but he just listened to the secret message. , His Majesty was indeed seriously ill in the past two days."

Yiman glanced at Jiang Lu and said, "Okay, I understand, go ahead."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

Watching Jiang Lu leave, Yiman looked at Lu Bo, "The emperor is really seriously ill? Did you ask Di Yuan to come into the palace and take a pulse test?"

"There is no information about Di Yuan's order entering the palace in the palace entry and exit records."

"That means there is no rush, or he may have secretly led the imperial edict into the palace."

Yiman tapped his fingers on the table, "Zhou Yu, please accompany me to the palace. I haven't seen your Majesty for a long time."

Zhou Yu tidied up his clothes, walked out from behind the screen, and responded in a low voice. (End of chapter)
