At the beginning, the empress will be the queen and eat soft rice to open the blind box

It was night time.

The old man with white hair and white beard sat at the desk all afternoon, the servant came in cautiously and lit a candle for him.

The old man frowned, "Put the lamp behind me, the bright light hurts my eyes."

The servant didn't dare to disobey, he said yes, and moved the yellow lamp stand behind the old man.

The old man waved his hand, sent the servants out, and sat in the shadow of the lamp in a daze.

Lenggong Zhang Zhi, Li Zhang, and Xuanwu Gate guards all the year round, I don’t know how many people will die for their own great cause, is it really worth it?
There was a momentary shake in the old man's heart.

No, I cannot back down.

At this point, I have nowhere to go. For me and those who follow me, I must go on.

But the road ahead is boundless, and the old man can't see where he is going.

He was a little dazed.

There was a soft knock on the door, breaking the old man's chaotic thoughts.

He collected his mind and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

As soon as the door opened, a tall and thin black figure flashed in.

A gust of cold wind rolled in along with the figure, blowing the lights in the house flickering.

The face of the old man is hidden in the shadow of the lamp, and it seems to be constantly changing as the lights flicker on and off.

"Have you been to Qingfeng Building?"

The middle-aged man who came in replied respectfully: "Yes, my lord. When my subordinate arrived, Xie Tang was pressing Song Cheng for questioning. The subordinate had no choice but to kill him."

The old man was speechless for a while, and silently tapped the table with his five fingers.

The middle-aged man knelt down on one knee, "This subordinate made the decision without authorization and killed Song Cheng. I beg my lord to come down."

The old man sighed, "Get up, what's wrong with you, it's just me, a good-for-nothing trash."

The middle-aged man raised his head, "Master..."

"For my ambition, Zhang Zhi, Li Zhang, perennial, now add another Song City, maybe more people will die in the future, is it really worth it?"

The middle-aged man touched his head to the ground, "My lord, we will die for my lord's great cause."

The old man nodded movedly, "Fortunately, you are with me on the way forward, even though I die, I don't regret it."

The man's blood boiled in his chest, "I would like to be filial to my lord."

The face of the old man gradually became resolute in the shadow of the lamp.

When Xie Tang returned to Qianqing Palace, Yue Zhi hadn't left yet.

Because the Empress Xiao Jieyi had ordered that no one was allowed to leave the Qianqing Palace until the operation was over.

Xie Tang walked into Qianqing Palace and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, this humble minister is incompetent, but he just brought back the buddy from Qingfeng Building, but the cook died."

Xiao Yuyi sent the palace guards out, Yumian asked coldly, "What's going on?"

Xie Tang didn't dare to raise his head, "Weichen had already caught the cook, but unexpectedly he was silenced."

Xiao Jieyi pondered for a while, "You mean, the news is still out?"

"I don't dare to speculate, but at present, it seems to be the case."

Xiao Jieyi laughed back angrily, "Okay, okay, there are so many spies in this majestic imperial city, you, the commander of the guards, really do your duty."

Yue Zhi sat on the chair, feeling a sense of crisis in his heart, his daughter-in-law was a little bit aggrieved by being the emperor, the imperial city was almost as infiltrated as a sieve.

That being said, my job seems a bit shaky and not very secure.

No, for the sake of my great cause, I have to help my daughter-in-law secure the throne of the emperor no matter what.

Xiao Jieyi lost his temper, but finally calmed down.

"Xie Tang, you go out first, you really can't blame this kind of thing."

As an emperor, it is impossible to apologize to his courtiers.

When Xiao Yuyi said this, he expressed his apology to the greatest extent.

Xie Tang stood up, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Xiao Yuyi felt restless, and waved his hand: "Queen, take Huan'er home first."

I can't leave now, your imperial city is like a sieve, for my life, and the great cause of Ruanfan, I have to help you no matter what.

"Xie Tang, come in and take the princess back to Chuxiu Palace."

Xie Tang, who had just walked to the door, came back with a depressed expression on his face.

The little princess waved her little hand in a sensible way, "Goodbye mother, goodbye papa, Huan'er will go back and play with little Baibai."

Xiao Yuyi gave Yue Zhi a strange look, "Queen, don't you go back with Huan'er?"

Yue Ge pretended to be mysterious with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have a trick in my pocket and I want to present it to Your Majesty."

"Mysterious, what the hell are you doing?"

Xiao Jieyi muttered, "Xie Tang, you should send the princess back to Chuxiu Palace first."

Xie Tang promised to take Yue Huan with him.

Only the female emperor Xiao Yuyi and his wife were left in the Qianqing Palace.

"Queen, I'll give you fifteen minutes to say what you want to say."

Yue Zhi came over and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the burglars in the palace?"

Xiao Jieyi gave him a blank look, didn't you hear everything just now, what are you asking.

"Your Majesty, this matter is easy to hear!"

Yue Zhi felt that at this moment, he lacked a big goose-feather fan of Prime Minister Zhuge.

You said it was simple, but you actually said it was simple?
Xiao Yuyi was angry, "Empress, in your opinion, how should we get rid of those who live in the imperial city?"

Yue Zhi slapped his hands, "It's too simple, His Majesty only needs to set up two more departments, and the problem can be easily solved."

Xiao Yuyi became interested, "Is it that simple?"

Yue Zhi nodded affirmatively, "It's that simple."

"However, the power to select officials is now in the hands of Mr. Xie Ge and my grandfather. Even if I set up a department, it will still be controlled by their cronies."

Yue Zhi almost fainted, daughter-in-law, didn't you say that you are a rare talented woman in the Dai Viet Empire in a hundred years?

Why did you, the emperor, fail so badly?

Countless spies have been planted in the imperial city, aside from mentioning it, it seems that the government is not counted if you say it now?

It seems that if Brother Yue wants to eat a stable soft meal, it is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go!
"Your Majesty, will the prime minister and Mr. Xie Ge interfere with your use of eunuchs and maids in the imperial city?"

"That's not true. In this respect, they all respect me."

I think it's because people think that eunuchs and maids are of little use value, so they don't bother to argue with you.

"Your Majesty, what about the army?"

Xiao Yuyi pondered for a moment, "The army is the domain of Generalissimo Han Renjie, but he remains neutral and respects me.

Thanks to the presence of Marshal Han, the three pillars in the court are still stable and there are no major disturbances. "

Yue Zhi pouted secretly, daughter-in-law, your own grandfather is against you, it is unrealistic to expect an outsider to help you.

People still have to rely on themselves.

"Your Majesty, that will be easy.

My solution is to join a pro-military organization in the army as the emperor's personal soldiers.

In addition, a reliable eunuch in the imperial city was appointed to set up the East Factory. "
