Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era

Baili Ming was ashamed.

"Yes, Second Uncle is stupid."

"It will take some time for Dongcang to rule. When Cangyu fills all the vacancies, Dongcang will have a good start. When we face Beiyan, Dongcang will be the sharp spear in our hands."

"You trust Cangyu so much? Will he go straight to Beiyan for you?"

"I believe him."

When Qian You said these three words clearly and neatly, the corners of his mouth curled up beautifully.

Yes, she believed him.

After exchanging their biggest secrets with each other, she trusted him even more.

She believed that he would accompany her in the Northern Expedition, no matter how many obstacles they encountered.

"Okay, since you trust him, then Second Uncle will trust him too. However, according to the current analysis of the strength of each country, our Qianmai Palace plus Dongcang have little chance of winning against Beiyan."

“Yes, this is what I want to discuss with my second uncle. I plan to use all the strength of Qianmai Palace to help Qi Luobai take back Nanqi.

Once Nanqi is stable, Dongcang will have no worries. Together with Xiling Emperor, I believe he will help us unconditionally. When the time comes, we can unite the three countries to fight against Beiyan. Is there a chance of winning?"

Qian You's eyes were sparkling with stars.

This was the method of attacking Wei to save Zhao that she came up with after thinking for a long time.

"Of course."

"With Nanqi unstable, Dongcang and Xiling will not be able to help us with all their strength. Otherwise, the mantis will catch the cicada while the oriole will wait behind. Not only will the Nanqi Regent get a great bargain for nothing, but Dongcang and Xiling will likely suffer a fire in their backyards, and the war will spread all over the prairie."

"You are right. Second Uncle also admires your foresight."

Baili Ming looked at the glowing woman in front of him with pride.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been so independent-minded, far stronger than anyone else.

"It's not a vision, but a hope to achieve our goal at the lowest cost. To prevent the people from suffering, Nanqi is a key step."

"Okay, Second Uncle supports you. You stay here, and Second Uncle will go fight Nan Qi."

Baili Ming made up his mind and was ready to set off.

"Uncle, stay here. I'll go. Nan Qi should try to outsmart them instead of using force."

"No. How can you, a girl, face the beacon fire directly?"

"You want me to go because you don't want to face the war directly. What we are defending is justice. Qi Luobai is the legitimate prince and holds the imperial seal. Although the regent Qi Yi uses the emperor to control the princes, he still dares not to claim the throne legitimately. I guess it is because the imperial seal is lost. So we are returning with Qi Luobai with a legitimate reason. It is a just return."

Qian You held his second uncle's shoulders, pushed him back into the chair, and solemnly explained his reasons.

"Imperial seal? How do you know that the Imperial seal of Nanqi is with Qi Luobai?"

Baili Ming was a little surprised.

For more than half a year, he didn't know about this matter.

No wonder Qi Luozhou refused to leave.

"I found out on the first day I saw him. This kid is also a ruthless character. He sewed the imperial seal into the wound on his belly. He probably thought that even if he died at that time, the Ninth Prince's men would not be able to find what they wanted in the package he was carrying."

"Then where is the imperial seal now?"

"It was in his hand, and I helped him take it out."

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. It's not easy for him at such a young age."

In the palace.

The new emperor of Dongcang began a massive political reform.

He suppressed the rebellion with strong military force. The entire court was seeking profit and avoiding harm, trying their best to cooperate and adapt to the new word "reform" created by the new emperor, and they were afraid and worried about the fate of themselves and their families.

But the government decrees issued one after another were all aimed at stabilizing the situation, especially the one about adding special examinations, which made thousands of students in Dongcang Kingdom cheer.

The imperial examination, which was originally held every three years, was increased to once a year within three years.

Anyone who is willing to serve the country will be treated equally, regardless of whether they are poor or rich.

This was like a dose of stimulant to the students of Dongcang Country, and the atmosphere of studying and making progress in all places was unprecedentedly high.

Now, those who passed the provincial examination in the autumn of last year are setting off to Kyoto one after another to prepare to take part in the metropolitan examination in the spring.

How many families hope to pass the imperial examination and become the lucky one who succeeds, not only to serve the country but also to bring honor to their family.

To preside over this spring examination, the new emperor appointed the Minister of Rites Yan Anming to temporarily take over the position of prime minister as the coordinator, and no court official dared to object.

As the new emperor's maternal family, Beibohou Mansion can be said to be the biggest beneficiary.

But the people in his mansion remained extremely low-key, and Beibo Hou Sheng Ankang still spoke little in the court, which made people admire him.

Among the examiners designated for the Spring Examination, there was one person who greatly surprised everyone, and that was the Grand Priest Jing Yunhai.

After Prince Ning lost power and fled, the Jing family stayed indoors and lived in fear of the day when they would be liquidated.

When people heard that Yun Xuanzhi, Song Liu and Li Wanqing, who were all members of Prince Ning's party, were beheaded that day, as were the entire families of the Minister of War Jia Yihai and the Minister of Dali Temple Kou Boran, the scene of the river of blood shocked everyone in Kyoto.

Although at the last moment the new emperor personally wrote that the male members of the Jia and Kou families were spared from beheading and instead were exiled thousands of miles away, which was considered to preserve some of their lives, the housekeeper of the Jing residence had secretly watched the misery of the men, big and small, being pushed and shoved out of the capital in a trance. After coming back and recounting the incident, everyone in the Jing residence, young and old, men, women, and children, were worried all day long.

Jing Zhan, in particular, had not eaten or drunk anything for many days and looked very haggard.

When they heard that the eunuch who announced the imperial decree had arrived at the Jing Mansion, the whole mansion was filled with sobbing.

When Jing Yunhai, his son and family members ran from each house and knelt down to receive the imperial edict, he had already prepared himself mentally to be dragged to the guillotine. It was hard to tell whether he was panicked or helpless.

When he heard the new emperor's personal approval, pardoning past wrongdoings and asking him to assist acting Prime Minister Yan Anming in taking charge of this spring's imperial examinations, his brain completely shut down. He just stared blankly with his eyes wide open at the imperial edict in the hands of the eunuch who delivered the decree, somewhat incredulous.

As stunned as he was was the young master of the Jing family, Jing Zhan.

The new emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering him to attend court immediately, follow the new emperor, and work at the secretariat to receive orders. He seemed to be in a fantasy.

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict reminded him for the third time, Jing Yunhai finally regained his senses and led all the people in the mansion to prostrate themselves on the ground to express their gratitude with all their heart.

The Shang Taifu's family also felt the same extreme joy and sorrow as the Jing family.

He was reinstated to his original post as Grand Tutor, assisted the new emperor, attended court meetings and discussed state affairs. After he persuaded Prince Shen to rebel, he, who had been claiming to be sick and staying at home, burst into tears.

Especially Shang Qing, as a former companion of the crown prince, he always gave advice to Prince Shen. After Prince Shen was imprisoned and died, he could not sleep well all day, fearing that he would receive an order to behead him one day.

The imperial edict clearly stated that he was to become the new emperor's close attendant and serve in the Secretariat.

On the second day, Monk Jing Yunhai and Master Taifu came to the palace at the same time and thanked God in person.

It was also the first time in many years that Jing Zhan and Shang Qing were together as one, and they went to the newly established secretary's desk together, happily taking up their responsibilities.
