Chapter 295: Trying to please both sides
Arriving at Shuhuang Palace, the palace staff served melon and fruit refreshments, and then left in accordance with Jiang Yi's instructions.
The furnishings in the hall are luxurious and noble. There is a dragon table in front of the phoenix screen in the main hall. In addition to the treasures of the imperial palace, there are also some memorials that have been reviewed on the dragon table.
"The emperor used to review memorials here." Jiang Yi walked over and sat down. "Later, the dragon body became worse and worse day by day, and more government affairs were handed over to me. I will do these things."
When Yan Li arrived here, he already understood that Jiang Yi's power should be greater than they imagined.
Although she was still the Queen Regent in name, she was no different from the Emperor.
"Let me tell you the position of the ministers in the DPRK first." Jiang Yi drank the tea and went directly to the topic, "The Prime Minister and General Xuan have always firmly supported me as the Regent Queen. With these two people here, No matter how dissatisfied others are, they can't make much trouble."
This sentence is telling Yan Li that she does not have to have any scruples and will not be afraid of anyone. As long as she can do what she thinks is right, the queen will take care of anything that happens.
Yan Li listened silently without making any comments.
Ling Ning didn't say anything. Although Jiang Yi and Yan Li were talking about the Jin Kingdom, as a legitimate daughter of a general's palace who was about to marry King Jing, Ling Ning knew that she was not very good at power. If she really did it in the future, As a queen, she also needed to win over the daughter of a noble family official for King Jing.
Powerful tactics are not something ordinary people can afford, and it would be good for her to listen more.
"General Xuan has three sons, one is at the border and the other is the commander of the Royal Forest Army. Their family is similar to the Ling family." Jiang Yi said lightly, "The reason why the Prime Minister is willing to be loyal to me is because he has always advocated the relative equality of the Southern Kingdom. system, but over the years, his opinions have not received support from anyone.”
As she spoke, she sneered: "The Jin Dynasty was full of military power, but there was only one prime minister with farsightedness."
Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "He should not have been the prime minister back then."
"Yes." Jiang Yi nodded, "Because many of his views coincide with mine, so I want to respect him and make those who oppose him gnash their teeth and be helpless."
Yan Li's expression was subtle.
The Queen of Jin, who holds the power of regency, seems to have a childish side in her heart.
But I still love it.
"Shangguan Taifu is a staunch eldest son sect. They believe that Yan Zheng is the legitimate eldest son of his original wife. Back then, the entire line of the Crown Princess was killed. In order to comfort the spirit of the Crown Princess in heaven, the eldest son should do it. Prince."
Yan Li nodded slowly. In a sense, what the master said was right.
Back then, the prince was framed, and the prince's family died tragically innocently.
Yan Zheng lost his mother when he was young, but he has still been loyal to the Taifu party who has firmly protected him for so many years - if Yan Zheng is indeed capable of governing the country, it is normal for the Taifu to protect him.
But the problem is that everyone’s position is different and their reasons are also different.
It is true that Yan Chen is the daughter of his original wife, the Crown Princess.
녦Yan Yun is still the son of today's virtuous concubine.
No one can say for sure whether the dead wife is more influential or the living concubine is more influential.
And now they can't even leave the decision-making power to the emperor, because the emperor has less say than the queen.
The Queen's attitude is the key to determining the Crown Prince.
"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment are not involved in party disputes. They are all ministers who work seriously. The Ministry of Husbandry is someone promoted by this palace." Jiang Yi knocked on the desk with one hand, her voice was cold and dignified, "Shangguan's family They support Yan Zheng, the Rong family supports Yan Chen, and the officials quietly stand behind Yan Zheng. They all probably think that the eldest son has the best chance. "
After a slight pause in her tone, Jiang Yi smiled indifferently: "But no matter who they support, I still have the final say."
Yan Li hummed: "The Emperor didn't show up today."
"He is recuperating," Jiang Yi said, adding, "Concubine De is taking care of him."
Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is Concubine De very virtuous?"
"Who among the concubines in the harem would not be virtuous in front of the emperor?" Jiang Yi laughed, "Except me."
Yan Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The Queen." Yun Si walked in from the front and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I would like to see you."
Jiang Yi raised her eyes: "Is he in front of you?"
"Yes." Yun Si said, "The prince said that he had an argument with the princess in the palace just now. He didn't mean to go against the princess and wanted to apologize to the princess in person."
"Let him in."
"Yes." Yun Si turned around and walked out.
"I don't dare to offend Master Shangguan, who always maintains the image of respecting teachers, and I don't dare to offend you, the little princess who has just returned, for fear of causing dissatisfaction in this palace." Jiang Yi chuckled, "So I can only keep it private. Come to apologize."
Zuo Da didn't dare to offend him, and Zuo Da wanted to please him, so it was difficult for him.
Yan Li pondered: "None of the princes have been crowned kings yet?"
"The Jin Kingdom will allocate other princes to other princes one after another after the crown prince is appointed. Once the prince is appointed in advance, it means that the opportunity to compete for the crown prince is completely lost."
Hearing this, a playful smile flashed across the corner of Yan Li's lips: "So, the prince really has to succumb to me, the princess, and he will do so for a long time."
"Obviously so." Jiang Yi's face was full of love, "The only eldest princess in the Jin Kingdom has her own fiefdom and private soldiers. No matter whether it is the appearance of majesty or the real power in her hands, it is far behind. 눁a prince.”
Yan Li once again couldn't help but sigh in her heart at the original owner's pity.
If she had been a little luckier, if the Jiang family's heartless people had been a little softer, or if Emperor Zhao had been more cautious... the original owner could have enjoyed the glory of the second half of her life to make up for the suffering she had endured in the first half of her life.
Unfortunately, the dead cannot be restored.
Yan Li sighed, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Cannot be restored?
Thinking of the ability of the Southern Kingdom's priests, her heart moved slightly, maybe... it's not necessarily true.
