All Hail Cousin Brother

Everyone in the Xie Mansion also figured out the connection, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.

There was dead silence in the room.

Even the smoke in the Boshan furnace is meticulous and rises vertically.

After Yu Youyao got angry, she gradually calmed down, and then thought about today's events carefully, and thought in her heart: "Maybe the Queen Mother does not trust the Queen Mother."

Just now, she was shocked and angry because of the Queen's sudden plan, and she couldn't help but speculate on the evil plan behind the Queen's move.

After calming down, I discovered many details that I had overlooked before.

Mr. Xie realized something: "The Queen Mother kept silent, and even made the decision to confer you the title of Princess Princess without even going through the cabinet discussion, in order to prevent the Queen Mother from plotting against you."

This is not unfounded.

Given the current political situation, the Empress Dowager’s act of ennobling Xiao Yao’er was out of the desire to stabilize people’s hearts, promote national policies, and stabilize the country, so the granting of the imperial edict would be a matter of course.

The cabinet has no reason to stop it.

The Queen Mother can make decisions privately without going through the cabinet.

But thinking about it on the other hand, it is natural for the Queen Mother to make decisions privately even if they go through the cabinet.

Yu Youyao said meaningfully: "If I'm not wrong, this seal of the Empress Dowager is also borrowing from me to beat the Empress. If the Empress knew what she was doing, she would not continue to reward me so much." Make a big fuss, as long as the Queen doesn't make a big fuss about this matter, a heavy reward will seem logical, and although others may have some speculations, they dare not make it clear."

Then, the Queen's plan will be self-defeating.

really!

Ginger is still spicy with age.

The Queen Mother thoroughly figured out the Empress Dowager's plans and eliminated the Empress Dowager's vicious plans.

In terms of position alone, the Queen Mother and the Empress have the same status, but as the mother-in-law, the Queen Mother is the elder, with the word "filial piety" as the top priority, which puts her ahead of the Empress in terms of seniority.

This is the inner palace, two people with the most noble status, a battle that is invisible but hits the nail on the head.

The Queen Mother was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.

But after all, he took into account the Queen's dignity and used her to beat the Queen.

What a great drama of palace battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

From the current point of view, it is obvious that the Queen Mother is one foot taller in magic and the Queen Mother is one foot taller in Taoism.

Yu Youyao looked relaxed and took a sip of tea: "After the Queen Mother became seriously ill, the Queen Mother took control of the royalist party. There were rumors that she wanted to adopt the fourth prince, which disturbed the situation in the court and made the fight for the heir apparent more and more serious. The situation between North Korea and China is even more subtle, as the DPRK and China are fighting overtly and covertly."

There were rumors in the palace earlier that the Queen Mother wanted to designate her as the royal concubine to the fourth prince.

This shows what?

It shows that the Queen Mother is still very satisfied with and values ​​the fourth prince, and even plans to personally come forward to propose marriage for him.

Therefore, before that, the Queen Mother was very tolerant of the Queen Mother and even the fourth prince.

"Because of this rumor, Concubine Xu's faction couldn't even sit still, and drove the Han family in Xi'an, one to attack the royalists and achieve the queen's goal of [losing morality], and the other to frame King Wu Mu and continue to control the northern territory. Both sides Although they have different purposes, they have common interests and they hit it off immediately."

This paper-sealed edict gradually brought to light more turbulent situations in the DPRK.

Why was Concubine Xu unable to restrain herself first?

This is because Uncle Ning Yuan was imprisoned, and although Concubine Lan was restored to the throne, she was still weaker than Concubine Xu in terms of position. The second prince occupied the "long" position, but it was not really "long". Upon closer inspection, the word "long" may not be able to If you can really stand it, look at the three princes. The son is more noble than his mother. The third prince's status is the most noble. His wife, Xu Guogong, has the military power and is the most powerful.

The rumors of adopting the fourth prince directly threatened the third prince.

Mr. Xie said: "The Queen Mother issued national policies in order to stabilize the country, stabilize the country, and help the northern border overcome this drought as soon as possible. However, the Queen Mother's response is contrary to the Queen Mother's political views. The two sides have gone in opposite directions. I'm afraid The Queen Mother had been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother for a long time, but she suppressed it because she couldn't find the right time."

The Queen is the mother of the country and has the power to assist the government.

On the surface, the Queen Mother really can't hold back the Queen Mother's pigtails.

Yu Youyao nodded and said: "Everyone with a discerning eye understands that the Xi'an Han family's plot is aimed directly at the Queen Mother. However, the royalist party behind the Queen Mother is deeply rooted and interferes in politics in the harem. It will not have much influence on the Queen Mother, except for In the future, she cannot naturally preside over the government affairs. The Queen Mother still has the right to assist the state. Although the royalists will be suppressed, the royalists are all from the Great Zhou Dynasty and have deep-rooted nobles. Many of them also hold military power. Their loss of power is impossible."

Not to mention anything else, just say that after Yu Zongshen entered the court, he took root in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The Ministry of Husbandry controlled the financial power of the entire imperial court, and none of the six ministries could surpass one. The Ministry of Husbandry was governed like a metal barrel, and even if the treasury was empty, it could still maintain peace and support the various expenses of the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years.

If it weren't for the sudden natural and man-made disasters that kept coming, Yu Zongshen took over as the first assistant, and Ding You was at home before his ass was hot.

As a result, subsequent imperial examinations were repeatedly postponed;

Relief for the drought in the north has been delayed again and again;

In the southeastern coastal area that had just suffered a disaster, no one in the DPRK was in charge of the overall situation, so the sea was closed and merchant ships were unable to conduct overseas trade;

The emperor has been sealed off from the palace, and the fight for the heir apparent has become even more intense!

If Yu Zongshen was still in the court, all of this would be carried out in an orderly manner, and the situation in the Zhou Dynasty would not be like this.

The situation in the Zhou Dynasty took a turn for the worse after Yu Zongshen left the court. It is enough to show that Yu Zongshen controlled the household department and balanced the court for many years.

However, although Yu Zongshen and Ding You were at home, the Ministry of Household Affairs was still in the hands of the Yu family. No matter big or small in the court could go beyond the Ministry of Household Affairs, the authority of the cabinet would not be left behind from beginning to end.

Those people in the cabinet are only jumping up and down for a while.

In the eyes of outsiders, as long as Yu Zongshen returned to the court, he would still be in power and the royalists would still be in power.

Mr. Xie understood what she meant: "The Queen Mother's foundation is too shallow, and the harem's involvement in politics will have a greater impact on her. The Queen Mother took advantage of the Han family in Xi'an to use the title to beat the Queen Mother, and at the same time she also warned the royalists. Those restless courtiers who want to get involved in the fight for the reserve."

Yu Youyao smiled: "Jiang is still very old."

Everyone in the Xie Mansion looked very calm.

But Yu Youyao was not at ease in her heart. The Xie Mansion was a merchant, and due to limited information, it was not as clear as Yu Youyao about the undercurrents of the imperial court.
