All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao suddenly understood: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, the Queen Mother is weak, Yu Zongshen Dingyou is at home, and the royalist party is in a period of weakness. Concubine Lan and Xu Guifei will take advantage of the situation to attack the royalist party."

Most of the royalists are deep-rooted old nobles who only assist the country and do not participate in the battle for the throne. Concubine Lan and Xu Guifei will naturally not have trouble with the royalists.

However, the empress and the fourth prince share the same love as mother and son, which invisibly divides the royalists into the camp of the fourth prince.

Naturally, Concubine Lan and Concubine Xu would not just watch the Queen grow up.

Yin Huaixi nodded: "What they never expected was that Princess Shaoyi came out of the sky. Not only did she grow sweet potatoes, which alleviated the drought in the north, but she even came to the north to help King Mu Ding because of righteousness. Vigorously promoting sweet potato cultivation has pushed the reputation of the royalist party to a high point and disrupted their plans. After that, every move you made in Liaodong was in line with the interests of the royalist party and made the royalist party more prestigious. "

After listening to Yin Huaixi's words, many doubts in Yu Youyao's mind were easily solved: "Now the court is divided into three factions."

"Concubine Lan has the emperor's back, the second prince is the eldest son, and she is highly valued by the emperor. Although Ningyuan Houfu was imprisoned, she has not been convicted yet. From the perspective of outsiders, this may be the emperor's protection of Concubine Lan and the second prince. There are many ministers who are direct descendants and are good at figuring out the Holy Heart, supporting the second prince. As a military general, Ningyuanhou has cultivated many forces in the army. As long as Ningyuanhou is not convicted for a day, these people will not Being implicated, he is still being used by Concubine Lan."

Lan Fei's power cannot be underestimated.

"Concubine Xu is the head of the group of concubines. The sons of the three princes have the most noble status because of their mother's status. Her concubine, Duke Xu, is powerful and has military power. Many powerful officials in the court chose to support the three princes, including the Han clan, Shan Shanxi and Shaanxi are facing each other across the river. Since ancient times, the Qin and Jin Dynasties have been in harmony.

Therefore, the Han clan's arrogance also has a reason.

"After analyzing it this way, it turns out that the royalists were at the bottom, and I, out of righteousness, took the initiative to come to the northern border to help Wu Mu ding the king of the north. In the eyes of outsiders, this move made me become a royalist party and help Wu Mu ding the king of the north. A signal of goodwill.”

She had not thought about this earlier, but now Yin Huaixi mentioned the situation between the DPRK and China, and she suddenly came to her senses.

After walking through the cobblestone path, there was a tall tree in front of it. Under the tree were stone tables and chairs. Yin Huaixi helped Yu Youyao sit down.

Yu Youyao gradually analyzed her thoughts: "The Royalist Party's gaining power is a deterrent to Concubine Lan and Xu Guifei. That's why the Queen Mother will cooperate with my every move in the north and even delegate power to you. The Royalist Party is even more intimidating to me." With strong support, I will be able to achieve success after arriving in the north."

Because what she did was not only in line with the interests of the royalists, but also in the interests of Prince Wu Mu. The more Prince Wu Mu got the benefits of the royalists, the more deeply involved they were with the interests of the royalists.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Wumu Palace has belonged to the royalists.

Yu Youyao thought she had a thorough understanding of the situation between the DPRK and China, but she never thought that what she saw and understood was still one-sided.

The conflict between the government and the party, the cabinet's collapse, and the chaos.

The little maid immediately brought tea and snacks, placed them on the table one by one, and quickly left.

Yin Huaixi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yu Youyao: "Both Concubine Lan and Concubine Xu do not want to see the royalist party get my support, so they want to frame you and achieve the purpose of dragging Prince Wu Mu's palace into trouble. The vassal king has heavy troops. , are already very jealous of the court, and once they are involved in the dispute over the reserve position, which is tantamount to conspiracy, they will be able to achieve the plan of dividing the alliance between me and the royalists. "

When Yu Youyao first came to Liancheng, it was the Queen Mother who was in charge of the government. At this time, Yu Youyao used Xiang to help King Wu Mu and vigorously promote sweet potato cultivation to alleviate the drought. This was something everyone was happy to see.

Because the royalists did not participate in the battle for the reserve.

But then, as soon as the empress got involved, the situation in the court suddenly turned upside down.

The royalist party was to protect the country. Even the royalist party got involved in the struggle for the reserve, and the power of the Zhou Dynasty was completely over.

Yu Youyao stretched out her hand to take the tea cup, but her heart was shocked: "So, the Han family's behavior against me, on the surface, is because I used the donation from the Xie Mansion to deal with the wealthy gentry, which violated the interests of the gentry, but The bottom line is that I was involved in the battle for the reserve position, blocking the second and third princes' path to heaven."

Yin Huaixi nodded.

"The Han family did not hesitate to use the direct family members to deal with me. This was led by the third prince's party headed by Concubine Xu, and Concubine Lan contributed to it. It is in line with the interests of the second prince and the third prince's faction, so the Han family has nothing to fear. After all, this is still Partisanship in the imperial court.”

The fight never stopped, even if she was far away from the court, whether in Quanzhou or Liaodong, she still could not break free.

Yin Huaixi added: "There is a stone tablet erected in the harem, which says that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, as a warning to the harem and concubines. The emperor has not been in court for a long time, and major affairs in the court are managed by the empress dowager and the empress in collaboration. It seems logical. But is it not interfering with Chao Gang?"

Yu Youyao took a sip of tea: "The emperor has not been in court for a long time, so the prince should supervise the country. However, the emperor has not yet appointed a heir apparent. The princes should work with the ministers to manage the government."

The princes in the palace are all very old, and they should have received an errand a long time ago to serve the court and show their talents.

It’s just that in these years, there has been no peace in the court. First, King Zhou Li was killed tragically, and undercurrents surged inside and outside the court. Later, Ye Hanyuan beat the drum to avenge King Zhou Li. Shandong rebelled, Japanese pirates invaded, Zhejiang flooded, and the northwest suffered a drought. There are too many complications behind the matter. It is not a good time to enter the court at this time.

This delay has been delayed until now.

The emperor had not been in court for a long time, and the princes were unable to take on important responsibilities, so the queen mother could only take charge of the affairs of the court.

It is good that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the Queen Mother has the responsibility to assist the country.

Yin Huaixi said: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager both have the responsibility of assisting the country, and they are only assistants. They are two different things from being in charge. They have indeed violated the etiquette, but now the royalist party is gaining popularity, whether it is flood relief or drought relief." , are all led by the royalists, and no one dares to bring trouble to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother at this time."

Yu Youyao's face darkened: "I thought this was like pinching a persimmon. If you can't pinch the hard ones, just pick the soft ones. The Han clan wants to accuse me of interfering with the imperial court and disrupting the law. It's Xiangzhuang's sword dance, insinuations. , the target is pointed at the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother who are involved in politics. After all, my current reputation is due to the Queen Mother's love. From the perspective of outsiders, every move I make is inspired by the Queen Mother."
