Macross Empire

Regarding Saeko Bujima's ridicule, Li Yuan gently held Saeko Bujima's little hand, and said calmly.

If it was just the imperial examination, Li Yuan himself knew that those aristocratic families who thought they had strong backgrounds would not openly jump out, but Li Yuan had prepared several feasts for them!

Chapter 401

On the fifth day after the end of the first imperial examination, the court meeting was held.

"Queen Mother, the imperial examination is being tried for the first time, and a group of talents have been recruited for the imperial court. I think the imperial examination can only be fixed every two years to select talents from all over the world for the imperial court!" He bowed his hands to the empress dowager who was sitting high in the hall, and then looked at the ministers of the family around him, his words carried a trace of indisputable flavor.

"Precise! The decree is that the imperial examination will be held every two years and will be held by His Majesty in Luoyang to select talents from all over the world for the imperial court!"

Regarding Li Yuan's proposal, the Empress Dowager He who was sitting on the seat nodded, and then slowly spoke to the eunuchs around her.

However, Empress Dowager He obviously did not fully accept Li Yuan's previous proposal, and changed the imperial examination from Li Yuan to Shaodi Liu Bian, which was obviously an improvement on the previous behavior.

After all, when Li Yuan put forward the proposal of "imperial examination", Empress Dowager He believed that this never-before-seen proposal of "imperial examination" would violate the interests of the aristocratic families and trigger a counterattack, so even if she agreed to Li Yuan's amazing proposal , but when the decree was issued, the name of Li Yuan, the chariot general, was deliberately placed in a prominent position in the imperial decree, and the shadow of the royal family was hardly seen in the decree of the "imperial examination".

As a result, seeing that the aristocratic family was under the threat of Li Yuan's army and the orthodox name, they just adopted an attitude of indifference and non-participation in the "imperial examination".Moreover, after the first imperial examination just ended, Li Yuan gained a lot of fame and a lot of talents, if the Queen Mother He is still excluded, it would be to despise her values.

Therefore, Empress Dowager He, who received Ding Yuan's suggestion, did not hesitate to ask her son, who had become the emperor, to preside over the imperial examination. On the one hand, she accumulated her son's prestige, and on the other hand, she prepared to recruit those outstanding talents in the imperial examination as her confidants. ——It's pitiful, now the Empress Dowager He is not at all worried about the imperial guards transformed from the Youzhou Army in the palace, and the young emperor Liu Bian has not even built up a confidant team, which can be described as extremely tragic and helpless!

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister has no objection!"

"Your Majesty is also the Son of Heaven, and it happens to preside over the imperial examination two years later!"...

Hearing the will of the Empress Dowager, Ding Yuan, the newly-appointed short-term Taiwei, was the first to jump out to express his support, and then several other ministers who stood on the side of the royal family of the Empress Dowager also came forward to support him.What's more confusing to those who don't understand the situation is that after looking at each other, Yuan Wei and other ministers from aristocratic families also came forward to express their approval of Queen Mother He's proposal.

However, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that Yuan Wei and other aristocratic families have returned to the Empress Dowager He’s side, but that the ministers of the aristocratic families whose interests have been damaged have sensed the meaning of the Empress Dowager He’s words, and directly came forward to support the Empress Dowager He’s proposal to take food from Li Yuan’s mouth !

After the Empress Dowager He and Shaodi jointly issued a decree to implement the "imperial examination", which would damage the family's interests, why didn't the family publicly oppose it?It's not that the aristocratic family changed their temperament and learned to compromise with Britain and France in World War II, but Li Yuan, who controlled Luoyang and Sili, stood up as the support behind the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor. The aristocratic families in the world can't and dare not make troubles on the matter of "imperial examination".

As I said before, those who can become a family have absolutely no interest in such things as hitting a stone with a pebble, and facing Li Yuan, who was in control of righteousness and absolute power at that time, even if the family in the world is reluctant to give up the interests of the "imperial examination", He could only grit his teeth and watch Li Yuan abruptly cut off a piece of meat from their bowl.

Now hearing the words of Queen Mother He, the ministers of the aristocratic family who are able to endure the changes immediately understood the meaning of Queen Mother He's words. These old foxes who can linger in the court will never let go of this good opportunity to alienate , chose to support Queen Mother He without hesitation, and took away the dominance of the imperial examination from Li Yuan.

Facing the order of the Empress Dowager He and the response of the ministers of the family, Li Yuan seemed to have no strength to object, and calmly nodded in agreement with the order issued by the Empress Dowager He.

【Humph!Think you've won a game?The big meal is still waiting for you...]

Looking at the happy Empress Dowager He, and the ministers of the aristocratic family with a hint of smile in their eyes, Li Yuan murmured disdainfully in his heart.

Of course, Li Yuan was not surprised by the actions of the ministers of the aristocratic family. After all, they were clearly in the hostile camp. Unless the ministers of the aristocratic family were out of their minds, they would not seize the opportunity when they saw it.What surprised Li Yuan a little was that Empress Dowager He, whom he regarded as a noble and glamorous woman, seemed to be very determined under Ding Yuan's point and his own mentality, and she had already vaguely started Make small moves and try to control your own power!

"It seems that we can tell this woman about those big meals!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, Empress Dowager He's bedroom.

"Ugh..."

With a seductive moan, the Queen Mother He on the bed slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

After waking up, Queen Mother He involuntarily moved her snow-white lotus root arms, but apart from taking a free time around her as usual, the silk sheet covering her charming body slipped off.

If there are other men watching around now, you can see that most of Empress Dowager He's mature and attractive plump body is directly exposed, and her snow-white skin is extremely attractive.And the plump jade peak that was exposed trembled tremblingly, and the two attractive dark red cherries could attract the eyes of countless males, who wanted to taste the attractive cherries and their ripe jade. body!

However, what makes people feel a little regretful or envious is that on the exposed jade body of the Empress Dowager He, the conspicuous traces of handprints, tooth marks, etc. make the Empress Dowager He's body obviously reveal a trace of her special after being devastated. The incomplete beauty also incidentally made Empress Dowager He firmly remember her experience last night.

"Sure enough, Aijia is just a plaything of yours..."

Empress Dowager He, with her arm grasping empty, raised her body slightly and stroked her messy hair. Seeing that there were no other people and things on the bed except for her own underwear and the golden phoenix crown, a trace of gloom and anger flashed in her eyes. meaning.

Because Empress Dowager He made her own arrangements in the court yesterday, Li Yuan came to the bedroom to "punish" Empress Dowager He in the evening.After Queen Mother He tried his best, Li Yuan said that he had acquiesced in the matter, but he made a new proposal to Queen Mother He.

Originally, when she tried her best to serve Li Yuan last night, Empress Dowager He still had some inexplicable emotions in her heart, but now that she saw Li Yuan leaving without even saying hello, Empress Dowager He understood what she meant in Li Yuan's eyes. Status - it's just a plaything of noble status!

However, in the palace, after seeing the end of those beauties who seduced the emperor with their beauty, Empress Dowager He did not have any hope for the intimacy between herself and Li Yuan.

She is already in her thirties, even if she continues to take good care of herself and looks like a beautiful woman in her twenties, how long can she maintain this outstanding appearance?ten years?fifteen years?And when she gets old and decrepit... oh, don't wait until that time, even if the Queen Mother He is in the palace, she has heard that there are two stunning female generals beside Li Yuan, and they are even close to Luoyang City. Cai Yan, a well-known and talented woman, is in contact, and Li Yuan's recent contacts seem to confirm the news that Queen Mother He heard.

It can be said that Empress Dowager He's understanding of Li Yuan thinks that if Li Yuan loses interest in her novelty, will she still associate with her as she is now?Of course, the question that Empress Dowager He is most concerned about is, without such an intimate relationship, will Li Yuan still stand firmly on her side and Young Emperor Liu Bian? !

"The Ai family's only support is Bian'er!"

Feeling the faint pain coming from her body, Empress Dowager He's eyes became very sharp.

With the previous Luoyang Rebellion, and Li Yuan's extremely contemptuous attitude towards her now, Empress Dowager He made up her mind to become a real emperor of Han for her precious son no matter what.

After all, in Empress Dowager He's own understanding, as the Empress Dowager, it is impossible for her to stay with Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's attitude now seems to be purely interested in her body, which also makes Empress Dowager He understand the relationship between herself and Li Yuan. The relationship situation has also strengthened the Queen Mother He's seemingly dangerous idea.

"The aristocratic family... Li Yuan... are all cancers! They must be eradicated for Bian'er!"

Now the Empress Dowager He, who is sitting up and revealing her attractive ketone body, does not give people any charming demeanor strangely, similar to the cold light shining on the blade of the eyes, which makes people who see it for the first time have a great impression of the Empress Dowager He For change, "But now, it's not the time!"

Although her eyes were shining with coldness, the obedient Empress Dowager He didn't plan to do it immediately.

Having seen the situation of the Luoyang Rebellion, and Ding Yuan serving as her staff, Empress Dowager He also understood that with only a few hundred trustworthy people on hand (basically all of Ding Yuan's personal soldiers), the inner qi was far away from her. Ding Yuan is no more than a general with a body. In this case, he directly turned against Li Yuan and the family.

Now that Empress Dowager He is thinking, besides the insignificant strength at hand, the most important thing is to contact those who are loyal to the Han family, and make the conflict between Li Yuan and the family more intense, so that she can find a suitable opportunity !

"Yes! Ai Jia remembers that what that bastard said last night was poison to the family..."

Afterwards, Empress Dowager He seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

However, now anyone who knows what is going on in Empress Dowager He's mind will not feel how beautiful that pretty face full of smiles is when she sees the smile on Empress Dowager He's face, but will only feel chills in her heart...
