Chapter 21 of Part 5 The Yin Damage of Yan Xue
The next day, a shocking news came out of the imperial capital: "The Empress Yanshan is the emperor's aunt." ”
At first, many people didn't believe it, thinking that it was rumors, but later the news was confirmed to be from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Pingxi Wangfu and other places, and no one stopped believing it. In less than a day, all the people of the imperial capital knew the news.
The shocking extent of the news can be imagined, and everyone who heard the news was stunned.
"Is this news true or false?" asked Hua Tian as Taishi Wen sat on the Taishi's chair.
"This news is absolutely true, because I have confirmed that the news is indeed from several ministers, do they dare to lie and talk nonsense?" Hua Tian replied with a wry smile.
"If it is indeed true, this should be deliberately passed on by the emperor, and those few people dare not say it without his consent. I estimate that Tang Xiangui and Ye Zhengdao should also know that the emperor spread this news at this time, what is his intention?"
"Do you still need to ask, the four hidden families were born, and the royal family must have attracted a force to come in to jointly resist the four hidden families, and the only thing that has a deterrent power is that the imperial harem can compete with one family. Hua Tian thought about it and explained.
"Hmm. You have a point, it seems that their purpose is to deter. However, this can indeed achieve the goal, and the Imperial Harem does have this kind of strength. Master Wen nodded.
"The strength of the Empress Yanshan herself is on the same level as the five elders, and the gap should not be big. The announcement of this news now is also related to cooperate with Zhao Fei's siege of the Qinglong Gang. The first is to cause psychological pressure on Situ Deng and others, and the second is to let the four hidden families not act rashly, after all, everyone knows that Zhao Fei and Emperor Yanshan have a special relationship. Hua Tian took it and continued.
"Alas. The emperor is really too scheming, and he is good at using intrigues. Master Wen sighed.
Recently, he fell out of favor and was disheartened, except for the previous dynasty, the emperor had never met him alone, and the sense of loss in his heart can be imagined.
"Why is this news so sudden, what does the emperor want to do?" Yan Xue was shocked when she learned the news.
She walked into a shop in the imperial capital, which was full of women's products and fabrics. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged couple, and they also bring a few subordinates to help, they are all ordinary people without any cultivation.
There is a secret passage in the side house, and the secret passage leads to a private house opposite. After Yan Xue walked into the side room to make sure that she was being followed, she entered the dark passage and came to the opposite hall.
"Little baby, you're here, I want to kill you. Qiao Shan sat on the chair and immediately stood up, then picked up Yan Xue and threw it on the bed.
After a long time, Yan Xue lay in Qiao Shan's arms and asked, "The emperor is a member of the royal family, and she is the eldest princess, have you heard about this matter?"
"I've heard that this is a tricky question, and since they are a family, the nature has completely changed. The strength of the Emperor's Harem should not be underestimated, and the Yuyang Mountain Man is a dangerous machine man, and his strength is even stronger than Situ Dengdu. It is said that there are several masters of the Heavenly Realm in the Emperor's Harem, and the most terrifying is the Emperor and Empress of Yanshan herself. Her cultivation should be on par with the five elders, and not everyone can deal with it. ”
Qiao Shan's face was solemn, this news was indeed bad news for them.
"Have you thought of a countermeasure?" Yan Xue then asked.
"Not yet, after all, the news only got out today, and this news caught us off guard. ”
"You haven't made any moves lately, and Yihexuan doesn't have a sense of existence at all now. Yan Xue complained.
"What kind of presence do you want now? There are four hidden families to deal with them, and they have sent experts to support Situ Deng, maybe there will be a big battle in Qinglong Mountain soon. ”
"You must learn to reassure people, to give confidence to those who come to you, and not to let them be disappointed in you. Yan Xue continued to remind Qiao Shan.
"Don't worry, baby. We have already started to enlist some city lords to join our camp according to your suggestion, and four city lords have already been taken down by us, and more and more city lords will move closer to us in the future. At that point, the emperor will lose control of the city below. Speaking of this, Qiao Shan's face showed a wicked smile, Yan Xue's idea was indeed practical.
"After all, the imperial capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is too dangerous and uncertain here. Some ministers seem to have a very high status, but some are indeed not as big as the city lord below, after all, the city lord is also a prince, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, their power should not be underestimated, and their destructive power should not be underestimated. ”
"Hahahaha. Baby, you're right. In the past, we didn't look down on these city lords, but we didn't expect a lot of benefits to dealing with them recently. This suggestion of yours is indeed good, and Lord Xuan has always praised you as a woman with high intelligence. ”
Hearing Qiao Shan praise himself like this, Yan Xue was very proud. She's used to being complimented, and lately she's rarely heard anyone compliment herself because she barely walks outside.
