The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 523: His Majesty's Intention: Reorganize the Cabinet!

Lu Zhi's room is quiet and spotlessly cleaned, and every utensil is neatly arranged, like a woman's boudoir, more like an unoccupied room.

Yan Xiaoxiao has been here more than once, and Lu Zhi's character and wisdom can be seen from the arrangement of the room, so Yan Xiaoxiao never dared to underestimate her.

Lu Zhi made the tea himself, then pushed the teacup to Yan Xiaoxiao, and asked, My sister is looking for me late at night, why?

Your Highness went out to attend the luncheon, haven't you returned to the palace yet? Yan Xiaoxiao nodded in gratitude, and then asked.

Lu Zhi smiled and said: My sister is on duty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but she is so concerned about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness. It seems that the rumors are true. It's just that the rules in the palace are strict, and my sister and I are both female officials. I should know the rules and ask Don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask.”

Thank you sister for reminding me. Yan Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea, not afraid of Lu Zhi's threat at all. She, Yan Xiaoxiao, did not enter the palace for a day or two. A small female official, but not any noble concubine can be easily crushed to death. On the contrary, can the concubines bear her crazy revenge?

Little people have their own means of little people.

My sister is right in what she said just now. We are all female officers, so we should do our job well. But some things are easy to say, but difficult to do by yourself, isn't it? Just like my sister. My sister has martial arts, yes A person with great ability, but hides it very well, never revealing it in the palace, just like sneaking out of the palace tonight, what a bold person with a high skill! Yan Xiaoxiao said with emotion.

Lu Zhi's movements froze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. She knew that Yan Xiaoxiao let the maids and eunuchs in the East Palace secretly watch her, so Lu Zhi raised her vigilance and was very cautious when going out of the palace tonight. How could Yan Xiaoxiao know about it?

And when Lu Zhi saw Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes examining her, she suddenly realized that Yan Xiaoxiao had never seen her leave the palace with her own eyes, and what she just said was just a guess, a temptation!

Sure enough, Yan Xiaoxiao verified her conjecture in her heart, and continued: My sister is eager to leave the palace, it seems that there is an urgent matter outside the palace, but as far as I know, my sister only has one younger sister who lives in the Duke's mansion, and the mansion is on guard. Strictly guarded, there should be nothing wrong, so my sister sneaked out of the palace, could it be that there is something else important? I wonder if you can tell me, sister, I really want to help.

Lu Zhi knew that Yan Xiaoxiao was clever, but she didn't expect to be so powerful that she could even guess that she had sneaked out of the palace. It seemed that she must know something, otherwise she wouldn't doubt herself.

I've already dealt with some trivial matters before entering the palace, so I don't need to worry about my sister. Lu Zhi replied: If my sister wants to report the report, she won't come to me. What my sister wants to say, please tell me!

Naturally, Yan Xiaoxiao would not report and report. Although she does not need to do this kind of report herself, there is no evidence that anyone has stolen the money. He has a very close relationship with Yasukuni, so if he wants to use this trick to deal with Lu's pheasant, there will be no results at all, and it will completely turn against each other.

More importantly, Yan Xiaoxiao was afraid that His Highness would be unhappy.

But if nothing is done, Yan Xiaoxiao is also very worried. She always feels that a poisonous snake is lurking beside His Highness, waiting for an opportunity, and may bite at any time, causing fatal injuries.

So today he took the initiative to play cards, Yan Xiaoxiao's purpose was to hit.

I don't have martial arts, so I can't beat my sister, but in this palace, it doesn't matter who has high martial arts! Yan Xiaoxiao said, the smile on her face disappeared, and her tone became indifferent.

You borrowed the power of Lord Yasukuni to enter the palace, and you were willing to serve as a female official by His Highness's side. If you had no intention, my sister, I wouldn't believe it at all! If you want to get the moon first, get His Highness's favor and become a side concubine, that's also true. It's no big deal. But if you have malicious intentions, don't blame me, Yan Xiaoxin, for being cruel!

Lu Zhi listened to Yan Xiaoxiao's threats in his heart, and couldn't help asking: Why do you believe that I have malicious intentions? If I really harbor malicious intentions, I should have done it long ago! You should know that I am in the Eastern Palace. Among them, serving His Highness personally, there are many opportunities to strike.

Yan Xiaoxiao said: You shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask yourself.

Lu Zhi froze for a moment and became silent.

Yan Xiaoxiao got up, walked outside, came to the door, and said: Women know women best, sister Lu Zhi, don't force things like feelings.

After finishing speaking, Yan Xiaoxiao walked out of the room.

Lu Zhi took a deep breath, staring at the candlelight on the table in a daze.

She and her younger sister Lu Su came to the capital because they wanted to plot revenge, just like what she said to Lu Ao, although her godmother took poison, Xiao Rui forced her, and she herself was stabbed. What he didn't expect was that when he and his sister were in and out of the capital, they ran into Xiao Rui on the street. He even found a miracle doctor to cure his lung disease.

The injury started with him and ended with him.

But at that time, she still didn't give up her plan of revenge. For this reason, he asked Lord Yasukuni to come forward to let Emperor Xia dissolve the engagement, and then asked Lord Yasukuni to request to enter the palace as a female official.

Unexpectedly, Lord Yasukuni did not refuse and tried his best to help this matter.

Later, she finally got her wish and entered the palace, and got close to Xiao Rui.

She didn't make a move immediately, she originally wanted someone to take her sister away, hang up first before making a move, but as she got closer to Xiao Rui, she became more and more unable to make a move.

Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she has to admit that Lu Zhi is in love with Xiao Rui.

Very bloody? It's so bloody!

Lu Zhi was deeply in pain, but it was out of her control, as if there was a terrifying force manipulating her feelings, so that now she didn't have the courage to do it at all. At the same time, the heart is suffering.

Why…

How good would it be if his godmother didn't die?

Lu Zhi fantasized like this more than once.

...

The dinner party at the Tang Palace went to a hasty end at three o'clock in the morning.

After several princes respectfully sent the crown prince back to the palace, they dispersed separately. When Xiao Rui left, Xiao Yan reminded him eagerly not to forget his request.

How to persuade Kong Xun'er to allow Xiao Yan to marry his side concubine is indeed a big headache, so don't help Xiao Yan, after all, they are the closest brothers, so let Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue figure out a way.

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Rui took out a piece of paper, and after unfolding it had a name written on it: Yang Feiyuan.

Yesterday, Xiao Rui went into the palace and cried to His Majesty asking for money, but the money didn't come. His Majesty gave him an idea to make money, but this idea was to push Xiao Rui into the pit of fire, because the important minister he wanted to investigate was none other than someone else. It was Yang Feiyuan, the Minister of the Household Department and a Bachelor of Wuyingdian University!

This is the Cabinet Grand Master!

Moreover, he is also the father-in-law of Prince Jin Xiao Lie, and his daughter is Princess Jin Yang Qing. This time he really had sex with Jin Wang Xiao Lie.

After careful consideration yesterday, Xiao Rui decided to attack Yang Feiyuan, to be exact, the Yang family behind Yang Feiyuan!

The Yang family is a local clan in Chang'an, Xijing, where they are intertwined and have great influence. Yang Feiyuan's eldest brother, Yang Feipeng, is the head of the Yang family and is based in Chang'an.

Yang Feipeng once served as Minister of Rites in the 14th year of Yongli, and later he retired to Chang'an. It is not clear why.

Yang Feiyuan was stronger than him. He became a Jinshi at the age of eighteen, and later entered the Imperial Academy, and was sent as a county magistrate, magistrate, and governor, and entered the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now at the age of fifty-nine, he is a cabinet scholar.

Yang Feiyuan's four years as Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Cabinet Bachelor are remarkable, and he is not an incompetent person, otherwise he would not have entered the cabinet. In addition, His Majesty is a wise Majesty, and it is impossible to overshadow His Majesty, so he can only work honestly. Moreover, his relationship with several other great scholars Lu Yuanzheng, Shang Jin, Cheng Ming, and the chief assistant of the cabinet Li Mingchong is all right, and there is no strong factional struggle.

So Xiao Rui was puzzled, was it Yang Feiyuan or the Yang family that his father asked him to investigate?

Yes, Yang Feiyuan must be moved to investigate and prosecute Yang Feiyuan, and Yang's family must be moved to investigate and prosecute Yang Feiyuan, but there is always a first-come-first-served and cause-and-effect.

This is a question that Xiao Rui can't figure out now.

Xiao Rui always remembers that there is no right or wrong in officialdom, only positions. No matter how good an upright official stands on the wrong side, you have to be honest.

Today I came to Xiao Yan's place for a banquet, but I didn't go to Cheng Zhan's mansion. Tomorrow, I have to ask Zhang Liang and others for advice, so as to understand His Majesty's intentions, so as to ensure that I will not do anything wrong.

Back in the East Palace, Lu Zhi brought tea. Xiao Rui, who was thinking about things, didn't notice that she was absent-minded, so he asked her to go down to rest early, and then Xiao Rui went to Zhuge Liuying.

Xiao Yan's single hit deeply stimulated Xiao Rui. After living two lifetimes, he should have a child. In other words, if he gave birth to an heir, would the system give birth to a reward? How many times will it be given?

It's a pity that Xiao Rui asked the system, but the system was silent like a dead dog.

The next day, Xiao Rui went to Zhan Shifu after breakfast.

When I met Xiao He this time, just as Jia Xu said, after Xiao He reported the planting situation, he raised the issue of money. Xiao He also knew that he was short of money, but only by overcoming this difficulty, Zhan Shifu would not be short of money. .

Xiao Rui asked the four advisers to sit down, and then explained the purpose of their visit.

I went to my father to ask for money but returned in vain, but my father taught me a way to get money. I can't see what my father is up to now, so I come here to ask the four of you. After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he dipped his finger in Water, wrote Yang Feiyuan's name on the table.

After the four looked at each other, they looked at each other.

Jia Xu took the lead and said, Your Highness doesn't know what His Majesty's intention is to move Yang Feiyuan or the Yang family.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, That's right, I can't figure it out.

Jia Xu said with a smile: In my opinion, His Majesty's main purpose is to move Yang Feiyuan, but he does not overthrow him. At most, he will be kicked out of the cabinet and keep him as Minister of the Household Department. Of course, the punishment for him is to move Yang Feiyuan. Yang behind him.

Why? Xiao Rui asked in surprise.

Guo Jia explained: This should be His Majesty's layout. Among the five cabinet scholars, Li Mingchong is on His Highness's side, Yang Feiyuan is King Jin's father-in-law, and Shang Jin's granddaughter is going to marry King Jing. Only Lu Yuanzheng and Cheng Ming remains neutral. Now that the crown prince has been established, His Majesty does not want to see a struggle, so it is necessary to choose a suitable cabinet scholar to serve as the cabinet. Even if Yang Feiyuan is dedicated to the public, he has to leave the cabinet.

Zhang Liang nodded and added: As Mr. Wen He said, His Majesty asked His Highness to move Yang Feiyuan, not to imprison him, but a means to drive him out of the cabinet. Of course, the consequence of his loss of power is the Yang family behind him. Bleeding. Since ancient times, if the people in power have the means, then the family and the family are all in the pocket. But if the person in power is stupid... it will also be destroyed in the hands of the family.

So, the next step is Shang Jin and Li Mingchong? Xiao Rui asked.

Zhang Liang continued: Lord Li is the chief assistant of the cabinet, basically he will not act without authorization, and Lord Li is very smart and knows how to protect himself, and His Majesty knows this well. As for the Grand Bachelor of Shang and Jin... His Majesty will not touch him, but once Yang Feiyuan If something goes wrong, it depends on whether he has the foresight. If he is smart, he will take the initiative to write a letter to beg for an official position. He is already sixty-three, and he has been pushing for an official position. Now it is time to give up the positions of the Grand Scholar and the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

Xiao Rui was silent, and replaced the two bachelors all at once, His Majesty's tricks were sneaky.

Father is like this, do you mean to hit me? Xiao Rui asked, this is what he was most worried about.

The four of them laughed.

His Highness's current ability is not up to the point where His Majesty beats you. Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui thought about it again, yes, although he has recruited many officials, such as Song Ci, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Cui Changwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Hao Yun, the left deputy capital, and so on, but they are all deputies in the government office. Even if they are related to Champion Hou, Zhenyuan Hou and Chang Shenghou, they are all His Majesty's people.

Xiao Rui had too much imagination, and was afraid that he would become like Zhao Haizhi, the son of Zhao Guo, so he couldn't help but bring it in, it was completely overthinking.

What's more, Xia Huang is not Zhao Huang's stay can be compared.
