When it comes to the internal strife in Xiliang, it is really jaw-dropping, just a country of cities, but the factional strife in it is as intricate as the roots of a tree underground, and even dazzling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Red Peony also told An Qianyue such a sentence, do you know why Xiliang's official position can be hereditary, it is because he does not have a deep family background, or he does not have a witty mind at all, and he does not have the courage to mix with Xiliang's officialdom.

Moreover, there are few villains in Xiliangdi, and if many people who don't know what is at stake enter the officialdom, then they will definitely become cannon fodder, and before they can serve the country, they will already be reimbursed in the factional struggle.

"So, this great princess is now facing very fierce competition?"

Murong Yue frowned, thinking carefully about the relationship, and after looking at the picture given by the red peony, he found a problem, that is, he found that the eldest princess, who seemed to be infinitely beautiful on the surface, was actually not very comfortable.

"That's right, although the eldest princess Qiao Qinghan is from the emperor's husband, she is also the queen's most valued princess, but she has a very strong competitor, the fifth princess Qiao Lina."

"How?"

"Because there are a few people in the National Teacher and the Council of Elders, who seem to prefer this to sit in that seat for the Fifth Imperial Daughter."

An Qianyue rubbed her head, she was really going to be confused by the various rules here in Xiliang, because compared to the outside, Xiliang's situation was simply more complicated.

First of all, the relationship between the empress and the national teacher of Xiliang is not ordinarily delicate.

In Xiliang's rules, among the empresses of each generation, the empress and the national teacher will be carefully selected, and under the fair supervision of the Council of Elders, two excellent candidates for the throne will be born.

After competing for the most suitable person for the position of the empress, the remaining one became the national teacher, firstly, to give the empress the most suitable right-hand man, and at the same time, to check and balance the empress's power and prevent the empress from abusing her power to cause misfortune to the country.

So, speaking of which, the two check and balance each other, but they are inseparable.

From the outside world, Qiao Qinghan is almost firmly seated as the heir to the throne, but he doesn't think that there are so many twists and turns, and there is a tricky Qiao Lina in the way.

"In other words, before there is a clear decree, who is the next empress and who is the next national teacher between Qiao Qinghan and Qiao Lina, is it uncertain?"

"That's true."

Zhang Xiaoyue nodded, judging from the meaning revealed by Qiao Lianqi, Qiao Qinghan now needs a lot of money to deal with it, as well as a group of people of insight in order to enrich his strength.

"In this way, it's no wonder that Xiliang doesn't pay attention to us at all, and Zhenghuan is fighting within the family."

Murong Yue smiled helplessly, and said in his heart that Xiliang is really a strange place, even if there are so many strange women, there are so many strange rules and things.

He swore that he would never come to Xiliang again.

"In this way, according to the meaning of Red Peony, we inadvertently stood on the team of the Great Princess, so the person who rushed in that time to frame the accusation was the person under the Fifth Princess."

Regarding Murong Yue's words, An Qianyue nodded nondeniably, no wonder Xiliang is heavily guarded now, thinking about it, because he is afraid that in the process of competing for the heir, he will intervene with people arranged by other countries.

In fact, if you think about it, if your own family separates the children, plus the people who always have neighbors, and even instigate your children to fight, no matter how you look at it, this is too much for Her Majesty the Empress as a parent.

Obviously, he has been identified as the one who came to 'intervene' in this matter, otherwise, people would not have knocked on the door and 'escaped' in.

When Murong Yue captured the man in black before, he felt that something was wrong, because this person's skills were really a little poor, so that he could rob the National Teacher's Mansion as if no one was around, so the level of the Xiliang people was also a little worse.

Later, after she interrogated Ah Qiu carefully, she learned that the man in black knocked on the door last time and came in by herself, which made An Qianyue angry and funny, how inappropriate people were to take them seriously, they actually used such casual means to make a full set of acts, and pretended to be like a good thing, and quietly sneaked into the Thousand Silk Pavilion to hide.

"Yes, Kong Xiao's aunt Kong Shumin is the previous minister and an important member of the Council of Elders, and she does take a fancy to the five princesses."

Zhang Xiaoyue nodded, and sighed a little helplessly, how could this be unknowing, Qiansi Pavilion was 'divided' into factions.

"What is the composition of this elder?"

Murong Yue found that Zhang Xiaoyue had mentioned the Council of Elders more than once, and it seemed that the full strength of this Council of Elders was not small.

"The members of the Council of Elders are elected by the previous generation of elders after the retirement of each generation of old officials, and influence the next generation, for example, the current reigning empress is Qiao Shurong, but the current composition of the Presbyterian Council is composed of the old ministers of the previous empress's reign."

This explanation is a bit forgiving, Zhang Xiaoyue has tried her best to outline the meaning clearly, and after speaking, she carefully observed the expressions of Murong Yue and An Qianyue, and then she found that An Qianyue was already scratching her head in pain.

"In other words, it's a group of old guys watching the next generation of children play around."

Seeing that An Qianyue was already rubbing her temples and lying on the table weakly, Murong Yue rubbed her hair with a smile, and then explained to An Qianyue in a more concise meaning.

"I see."

After going around and around, An Qianyue finally understood that the status of the Council of Elders was actually like Cixi who listened to the government in the curtain, so if you put it like this, then whether it is the empress or the national teacher, they actually don't have much power.

On the contrary, the Presbyterian Church seems to have suppressed the two to such an extent that it already has a sense of settling on them.

"In this way, the person behind the five princesses should be the national teacher."

Zhang Xiaoyue guessed several times and finally came to this conclusion, and An Qianyue also agreed with this conclusion.

"Yes, with the skills of that thief, it is impossible to steal the seal in the National Teacher's Mansion, the National Teacher's Mansion is heavily guarded, if this kind of person can enter the realm of no one, then the security work of the National Teacher's Mansion is really bad to the limit."

"Such an obvious planting, it's really a bit of an insult to my IQ."

An Qianyue shook her head and complained sullenly, which made both of them laugh, and at this point, the context of the matter gradually became clear.

Kong Xiao's aunt Kong Shumin supports the Five Imperial Daughters, and as for the national teacher, not to mention, if it weren't for the national teacher himself agreeing to give her the seal, then the thief could get it?

Apparently impossible.
