The protagonist’s halo

Bei Yin Palace,

Under the eaves of the palace near Fuhuachi, a few palace ladies were talking and sighed, "Before Princess Hualing came back, our princess was the most favored, and even your Majesty couldn't match it."

Everyone knows that the relationship between the queen dowager and her majesty is not harmonious. In the early years, she was heard of frequent disputes by the palace people, and she seemed very cold over the years. Outsiders are spreading that because the queen mother refused to return to politics, the queen mother loved the young girl Yongsi more than the eldest son who would fight for power with her. It can be said that she wants the stars not to the moon.

"The princess is noble, how can we arbitrarily discuss it, if someone hears it, it will be a board."

Among them, the lady of the palace turned her eyes to provoked this, and she seemed a little restless, "I am not making a rash argument, I am just for the injustice of your Highness."

"You didn't see, when Princess Hualing came back, the attitudes of others towards our princess have changed these days." The palace lady named Xueque said with sourness.

The emperor is weak, and the queen mother regent knows who is in charge of Bei Yin. Many people who want to please the Queen Mother Yin or want to intercede for fear of being punished will find Princess Yongsi. Even the palace people with Princess Yongsi were superior.

Seeing that the Queen Mother seemed to pay more attention to the princess Hua Ling, who had returned to the palace, even the youngest daughter Yong Si was left in the cold.

After hearing her words, the other maidservants also felt grief. The master who served was favored. Their days as slaves and maidservants also had a better life. Besides, Princess Yongsi has a gentle temperament, and she never takes harshly with her servants, and can work by her side It's also a good job.

Suddenly, "Your Highness." The ladies of the palace were pale, and they knelt down together, worried that Princess Yongsi would have heard what had just been said.

Yong Siming's charming little face frowned, "Snowfinch, don't say this anymore. I am not happy to punish you if I hear it. If the queen hears you, your life will be gone. The queen ordered , I can't plead for you either."

Although Yong Si was favored, he did not develop an air of arrogance. He also had some understanding of the Queen Mother Yin's character. She was too lenient with the palace people, but she would not quarrel with others for the sake of others and violate her mother's orders.

The palace lady panicked, and tears immediately fell pitifully, "The princess pardons the sin, it is the slave and maidservant who said the wrong thing."

Yong Si was softened, only intending to teach a few more words, but heard someone calling her name behind him.

In the past, the only people who could call her name in this palace were the mother queen and the emperor brother. Now there is one more person.

Yong Si turned around and smiled when he saw the incoming person, "Emperor Sister."

"I went to the Yuning Palace to find you a few times, but you were not there." Yong Si showed a trace of grievance.

I thought that the emperor would return to the palace after she was healthy, and she would often see each other. She also wanted to get along with the emperor who hadn't met for a long time, but she was out of the air several times and asked the palace people only that she was out of the palace. Mu Yongsi didn't understand how the emperor sister was too busy to see the figure like her mother.

Xiao Han didn't answer Yong Si's words, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Didn't I come to see you?"

Xiao Han glanced faintly at the maid who was still pitiful when he was kneeling on the bluestone steps, and now trying to reduce the sense of existence. Yongsi's temper was still a little softer, and he didn't say why she was punished, otherwise it would be reported to the palace and Queen Mother Yin would not save her life.

After parting with Yong Si, Xiao Han's smile faded and he calmly said, "Check the maid named Xueque."

"Yes." A Chan whispered.

Xu was the one who led the spy for a long time, and she was a little skeptical when she saw anyone. But it is better to check.

Since the Queen Mother Yin continued to let her take charge of the dark guard camp, Xiao Han was also polite and began to develop the forces of the dark guard camp in Bei Yin.

Bei Yin Anwei Camp was originally an elite group belonging to the royal family. Not only can spy intelligence from the enemy country, but also monitor the movement of the ruling and opposition parties to protect the safety of the royal family.

In Daxing Emperor Capital, Xiao Han was only a part of it. It can be said that Bei Yin is the base camp. In these days, Yong Si couldn't find her, because Xiao Han had been staying in the dark guard camp, reorganized, and arranged various mission training.

Although the people in the Bei Yin Guardian Camp hadn't seen her very much, none of them refused to obey her orders.

Although Mu Hualing's troubles in the great upheaval have not been spread to the country, it is kept secret from the ruling and the opposition, but the secret guards do not know it, and know that at least half of the big plan to recover Yunshuo is attributed to Princess Hualing. .

Xiao Han's retreat from Daxing also brought back thousands of spies. Whether it was Yunshuo's defeat or her making such a big move in the Imperial Capital, Daxing now has a period of time to cleanse, and these spies have done their best for the plan and paid a lot. many. Xiao Han was also reluctant to put them in a dangerous situation, and continued to lurch at the risk of being discovered. Anyway, the plan is over, and the spying on Daxing can be postponed for a period of time.

The dark guard camp is under the command of Xiao Han, and the Queen Mother Yin also trusts her very much. Without any intervention, she can do whatever she wants.

Many spies who were brought back by her returned to the secret guard camp. Some spies with outstanding abilities and outstanding achievements, such as Wenqu, Lian Zhen, and Pojun, while Xiao Han asked them to be appointed official positions. The Queen Mother Yin did not dispense with them and recognized their contributions.

After adapting to a period of time, while understanding the situation of Bei Yin, Xiao Han almost took control of the entire brand new dark guard camp.

After the sudden death of the first emperor, the young emperor ascended the throne, and all the daily government affairs of Bei Yin were independently decided by the Queen Mother. If there are any important military affairs, she will call the ministers to discuss, and finally make a decision based on the opinions of all parties.

Thanks to the efforts of the Queen Mother, the situation in Beiyin was stable, the military became stronger and stronger, the political situation and the economy were on the right track, and the 13 prefectures of Yunshuo occupied by Daxing were successfully retaken.

There are rumors that the Queen Mother of Bei Yin regent is autocratic and ambitious. But from the perspective of Xiao Han, the Queen Mother Yin is not a person with a strong desire for power. She does not treat her family too much. She also likes to promote talents. She is not limited to her age, and she really cares about the country's people's livelihood.

And her various measures, iron and blood, also touched the interests of the courtiers of the Northern Yin nobles, and the Queen Mother Yin was also very tough in acting style, repeatedly using heavy punishments, which attracted a lot of opposition. These are all turned into forces that promote the return of government to the emperor.

In fact, the decline of Bei Yin and its annexation by Yan Shu and Qin Jia in the plot is inseparable from its inherent internal and external troubles and many contradictions. If the Queen Mother Yin cannot always hold the power and suppress the people underneath, then the ambivalence will be suppressed at the same time.

In fact, it now appears that her emperor's attitude is very vague, letting the queen mother reign, and she has neither neglected to discuss politics early, nor allows the ruling and opposition parties to discuss and ignore it. Mu Yi seemed to be a little bit grudged with the Queen Mother over the years, and even the ignorant Yong Si felt a little bit.

Xiao Han put the secret booklet given to her by the queen mother on the table and sighed.

The Queen Mother Yin trusted her very much, and she didn't conceal any major national affairs or military secrets from her, and she recently revealed that she wanted to reform the law. Even if she didn't say it clearly, Xiao Han immediately guessed what she meant.

I remembered the conversation when the two were alone in the Yeejeongjeon.

The Queen Mother Yin said vigorously, "I have no law in North Yin, how can I strengthen the country and dominate the world?"

The Queen Mother Yin was so aggressive, but Xiao Han hadn't expected it. Just now he took back Yun Shuo, lifted Daxing's constraints on Bei Yin, and looked to the world. The original idea of ​​the great cause of the country was really instilled by the Queen Mother Yin since childhood.

Xiao Han tentatively said, "I have mentioned the empress's thoughts with the emperor brother."

"Your emperor brother is too kind and weak, how can you be able to bear it?" Empress Yin said with a faint disappointment.

Xiao Han simply stopped going around in circles, "Is the mother queen and the emperor brother at odds?"

Queen Mother Yin sighed, "Of the three of your brothers and sisters, Hua Ling, you are the most shameful of me, and Yongsi is the youngest. You were sent to Daxing since you were a child. I can't bear to criticize Yongsi too much, even if she doesn't know the world for these years. . And your emperor brother is too affectionate, benevolent as a woman, and he does not know that as a king, he should have great ambitions in the world."

She talked for a long time, Xiao Han roughly summarized the meaning of her mother's words, that is, she was not at ease with Mu Yi, had all kinds of distrust, and thought that Mu Hualing could understand her thoughts best. As for Mu Yongsi... …She only needs to be a well-behaved mascot.

The Queen Mother Yin caresss her forehead slightly, as if she can only take off her defenses in front of her daughter Hua Ling, the sunlight falling from the window can still see the white hair on her temples, "The Ai family only wants to live and see me and Bei Yin dominate the world. , Live up to the ancestors' foundation."

Xiao Han has also carefully read this secret report. The various reforms mentioned in it are also tangible. They are really beneficial to the Bei Yin national strength when implemented. She has no objection to the reform, but the reform is not a trivial matter. In all aspects, the North Yin and the upper and lower sides have a wide range of implications, and its seriousness is no less than that of fighting with the Daxing Nanliang.

Xiao Han tapped the tabletop lightly, and if we really want to make reforms, we must clear some obstacles in the DPRK and the center.

...

Xiangfu,

The Northern Yin and Daxing divisions are divided into two phases and six parts. The head of the hundred officials is the law minister. He has been the prime minister of the Northern Yin since the first emperor. He needs to be respected for three points. In addition, he is also the veteran who most supports the Queen Mother's return to the emperor, because this move has also won the reputation of scholars and even the people.

At this time in his study, the officials of the law faction were talking about each other, one by one, with indignation.

"The empress dowager Yin Ji Sichen, taking power to harm the country has already aroused public anger. I should have written a letter to persuade the queen mother to delegate power to the emperor and clean up the court."

"But the most recent Zhezi was refuted by the Queen Mother, and several officials who spoke out were also cut off..."

An official sighed, "The queen regent has arbitrarily planted cronies in the DPRK and appointed her people to important positions. His Majesty did not even pay attention to it, and even the early dynasty discussed politics."

A young official who was new to the law minister said in a loud voice, "As far as I can see, when the Bei Yin Shizi is called to write a letter, so that all courtiers will attack, I implore the regent dowager to grant the seal to the emperor and exempt the power of regency. The best strategy."

This method has been proposed before, but the Queen Mother Yin is not a softhearted person. Back then, the emperor died, the court was turbulent, and the clan fought for power. In the end, the Queen Mother Yin won the victory and supported the young emperor to ascend the throne. Few clans left behind. , No one can compete with the emperor, the few remaining people are also living trembling, mud can not support the wall.

In recent years, some people who dared to oppose the Queen Mother Yin either lost their heads or were exiled, so this kind of upright and straightforward method of stroking the tiger's hair was rejected from the beginning. Of course, the reason cannot be said. Some sleek officials only sighed, "The recovery of the thirteen states of Yunshuo has greatly increased the momentum of the regent dowager. I am afraid that we will not delegate power any more. If this continues, we will be in danger."

As soon as he finished saying this, an official immediately handed his hands to the ruler, "Lug, you are the country's important minister, so you can't leave it alone."

The ruler was loyal and kind, worried about the country and the people, and lightly stroked his beard, "Everyone here is loyal to the emperor and serving the country. In order to prevent Bei Yin from being controlled by the Queen Mother and endangering society, we can only take the side and the soldiers. It's dangerous."

Others were said to be lofty and ambitious, and they were full of enthusiasm, but whether they were to serve the country or to be fascinated by the glory of the power of heaven is unclear.

Lu Xiang also squinted slightly,

The emperor is not capable of political affairs, and he doesn't like to intervene in these things. Once the Queen Mother Yin is overthrown, the power of government and government will also fall into his hands.

Waiting for him to send his daughter to the palace, become a queen and give birth to a prince,

Ryuxiang's mind seems to have seen the future power in front of the opposition.
