Chapter 431: Nine Cities Edict

Su Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, /xshuotxt/com

When Xuanyuan Yumo gave her Baicao Pavilion for the first time, she didn't know Xuanyuan Yumo's true identity, and she didn't agree at that time, let alone now.

Moreover, she thinks that it is good to cooperate with the Mu family, which is credible and does not need her to bother.

In addition, the Mu family has a certain amount of power in various countries, and no matter where she goes in the future, she will not worry about having no connections.

was politely rejected by Su Ruoxi, and Xuanyuan Yumo was not angry, so he could only do something else.

For him, even if he destroyed the Baicao Pavilion, it would have no effect, but he just felt that it was a pity to abandon it.

Su Ruoxi remembered the conversation between Chuyue and the Queen Mother before, so she said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I want to go out of the palace tomorrow to live, and I ask the emperor for approval!" ”

Hearing Su Ruoxi suddenly say this, Xuanyuan Yumo asked suspiciously, "Oh? Why did you suddenly think of leaving the palace to live? ”

"According to the rules of the palace, the days you have stayed in the palace temporarily are in line with the palace rules. Besides, your residence outside the palace has not yet been arranged, so why should you rush at this time? ”

Obviously, Xuanyuan Yumo was unwilling to let her leave the palace immediately.

Su Ruoxi thought for a while and continued: "If that's the case, can the emperor change my residence in the palace?" ”

Xuanyuan Yumo looked at Su Ruoxi in surprise, and asked with a smile, "Did you hear any gossip?" ”

"I haven't heard the gossip, I just know that this Chun Nuan Pavilion is a place where the future queen is qualified to live."

"If it's a pity that she's just a folk girl, even if she has the status of a priest now, I'm afraid it's not suitable to live here."

When she said this, she just wanted to see what Xuanyuan Yumo himself thought.

After all, she couldn't just take Chu Yue's word for it.

Hearing Su Ruoxi say this, Xuanyuan Yumo sighed lightly and said, "Ruoxi, maybe you still don't understand what the priesthood means. ”

"Now, in this Cangyue Country, you are the one with the most power except me. Even if it's the queen, it's under you, why can't you live here? ”

"Besides, I don't have a queen now, who dares to gossip if you live here?"

Being persuaded by Xuanyuan Yumo, Su Ruoxi could only put aside the plan to move out of the palace for the time being.

Anyway, it was only a few days, and it didn't hurt her to wait.

When she left the palace, she didn't make concessions because she was afraid of the Queen Mother and Chu Yue.

It's just that she doesn't like Xuanyuan Yumo and doesn't want what Chu Yue said to really happen.

"Unfortunately, there is one thing, I hope you can help me."

Seeing that Su Ruoxi didn't speak, Xuanyuan Yumo took the initiative to speak.

"What?"

"Tonight, I will hold a singing and dancing banquet in the Imperial Garden to wash the dust for the lord of the Northern Qi Kingdom."

"When the time comes, the prince will also be present. I know you have some special abilities, so I want you to help me find something from the Prince. ”

"What's that?"

Su Ruoxi asked suspiciously, it seems that her grandfather is right, Xuanyuan Yumo is really going to start attacking Guogong.

Only by taking power back from Guogong can Xuanyuan Yumo become a truly famous emperor.

"Nine Cities Edict!"

"Nine Cities Edict? What's that? ”

For this inexplicable word, Su Ruoxi felt a little puzzled.

Xuanyuan Yumo knew that she didn't understand very well, so he slowly explained: "Cangyue is divided into nine main cities, and these main cities are controlled by the nine elders designated by the emperor. ”

"And the nine elders formed a separate council, and this council has great power, not only to directly decide state affairs, but also to depose me, the emperor."

"Guogong has the Nine Cities Edict given by the Emperor in his hand, and Guogong is the head of the Council, and he controls the Nine Cities and controls the lifeblood of my Cangyue."

"If the Duke loses the Nine Cities Edict, he will not be able to continue to serve as the head of the Council. Three of the nine elders of the Council are supporters of the Council, and I will re-elect a head of state from among the three of them to support the Council. ”

"In this way, the power of the council is equivalent to being in my hands. Sadly, I trust you very much, so tell you my thoughts, and entrust you with such an important thing, will you help me? ”

After listening to Xuanyuan Yumo's explanation, Su Ruoxi finally understood what was going on.

Getting the Nine Cities Edict is equivalent to reducing the power of the national prince.

It seems that Xuanyuan Yumo is very smart, and he did not plan to dig up the roots directly, but to deal with Guogong layer by layer.

She has been in Cangyue for so long, and she also knows how Xuanyuan Yumo grew up under the authority of the Guogong.

So she can also understand Xuanyuan Yumo's eagerness to deal with Guogong.

"If you can help the emperor, of course you are willing. It's just that if you regret that you also have one thing to ask for, I hope the emperor can agree. ”

Seeing that Su Ruoxi agreed so quickly, Xuanyuan Yumo's face was overjoyed, and he said happily: "Okay!" If you ask for anything, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will promise you! ”

"Don't agree so quickly, because this matter will probably have to be considered by the emperor."

As soon as he heard this, Xuanyuan Yumo knew that Su Ruoxi's request was definitely not simple.

However, he still remained calm and said, "What is the request, you say come and listen!" ”

"Actually, this matter is not big, it is not small, and the emperor can do it easily."

"That is, I want a holy decree from the emperor to ensure the safety of my Yin and Yang family in Cangyue for the next hundred years."

"As long as Yin and Yang do not rebel, no matter what mistakes my Yin and Yang family make, the court will not touch the Yin and Yang family in the slightest."

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Xuanyuan Yumo's face suddenly froze.

"It's a pity, now that you are my high priest in Cangyue, the status of the Yin and Yang family in Cangyue is naturally not the same."

"With you, the Yin and Yang family will naturally be safe, and it is said that the imperial court, even if there are people in the rivers and lakes who want to be unfavorable to Yin and Yang, the imperial court will not let it go easily."

"You should know this very well. But you wasted such a good opportunity, just to ask for a life talisman for the Yin and Yang family, do you have other plans in the future? ”

Xuanyuan Yumo's mind was very thoughtful, and he knew that Su Ruoxi must have some other plans in his heart when he did this.

Su Ruoxi smiled lightly and said to Xuanyuan Yumo: "Do you have any other plans?" I don't know yet! However, with the lessons of the past, I think there is still a life amulet, which is more reassuring. ”

"I also said that the emperor doesn't have to agree immediately, when the emperor thinks clearly, it's not too late to answer me."

Of course she has a plan in her heart, but she can't tell Xuanyuan Yumo about this plan.
