"You said that you want me to stand generously in front of Wei Xiang and Concubine De, without having to hide or hide from them?" I looked at Yun Zheng in surprise and said in disbelief. told Yun Zheng about the past, and Yun Zheng immediately made this decision.

"Not bad." Yun Zheng nodded. I frowned and said, "How's that going to happen?" If Wei Xiang knew that I was Azure Snow, he would definitely not give up. ”

"You're not Azure Snow, you're Ye Haihua." Yun Zheng smiled.

"Of course I know that I am Ye Haihua, but ......" I shut up, somewhat understanding what Yun Zheng meant, "You mean, I am Ye Haihua, a woman who looks somewhat similar to Azure Snow." ”

"Yes, no one can find out that you are Azure Snow, even my grandfather's intelligence network only knows that you are from Yihong Mansion, but I don't know what your identity was before Yihong Mansion, and for so long, your identity has not been leaked, which shows that Chu Yan has hidden your life experience very well, presumably not many people know about it in Wujimen." Yun Zheng peeled back the cocoon and said, "Since no one knows, why do you need to think that you are Azure Snow?" ”

Chu Yan ......, my mind flashed those gloomy eyes, it seems that in the Wuji Gate, only Chu Yan and Yueniang know my identity, Chu Yan is dead, and Yueniang, I'm not sure if she will tell my identity: "What if he is sure that I am Azure Snow?" Or even if he wasn't sure, he might have gotten rid of me just in case I exposed his crime of impersonating the prime minister. ”

"He won't." Yun Zheng shook his head, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "If you weren't my wife, he would, but now that you have the support of the entire Yun family behind you, don't say that he's not sure that you're Azure Snow, even if he is sure, he will never act rashly until you don't touch his bottom line and the Yun family's forces don't completely fight him." ”

"Why are you so sure?" I bit my lip, "Just with the monstrous power of the Yun family?" ”

"That's one thing." Yun Zheng smiled, "And with my understanding of the situation in the court. If, as you said, the appearance of Wei was faked by someone, then the depth of this person's scheming city should not be underestimated, and he would never be so reckless. Because he is pretending to be the appearance of a country, how many enemies there are in the court, how many henchmen are in secret, how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in the open and in the dark, all of them are not easy to match, and he can still pretend for more than a year without being suspected, which shows that he is by no means a temporary figure, no matter how similar a person's appearance is, but it is not easy to pretend to be temperamental and radiant, and it is absolutely impossible to do it after countless years of hard work. It is even possible that this fake master may also be a stand-in found by the truth master himself, so that he can attend on some special occasions and complete some special things on his behalf, so he can pretend to be so vivid, because he is raised by the master at all. ”

"That's right." I suddenly remembered one thing, "Chu Yan once said that this fake appearance was really found by Prime Minister Wei himself, and after Xiang Wei died, it was probably Wujimen who controlled the fake Prime Minister, so let him continue to pretend in order to control the court." ”

"From this, it is also certain that this fake is uncertain about your identity, and this fake is a puppet of Wujimen, and he may not know the inside story of Wujimen. Otherwise, from the fact that you came out of the Red Mansion, he can deduce that you are Azure Snow, and there is no need to test again. Yun Zheng said lightly, "This shows that Wei Xiang doesn't know that the Red Mansion is a hidden stake of the Wuji Gate, and he may not even know who the owner of the Wuji Gate is." ”

That's true. With Chu Yan's vigilance, there is no reason for a puppet to know his true identity. I hesitated for a moment: "But at the beginning, the imperial court surrounded and suppressed Chu Yan, saying that he was the master of Wuji Gate, wouldn't Wei Xiang have thought of it?" ”

"There are two possibilities." Yun Zheng said slowly, "One may be that the fake appearance not only doesn't know Chu Yan's true identity, but also doesn't even know what the background of the forces behind him who pushed him to power is, this may be a big surname, because the fake appearance is not a good stubble, since he has gone from the dark to the light, once he finds out the forces behind him, it is very likely that he will use the power of the imperial court to fight back against them, and when the time comes, the fake will become true, and the forces behind him must be on guard against this layer, so that he can't figure out who the forces that control him are, so that he can control him the most." ”

I nodded again and again, and Yun Zheng continued: "Another reason is ......" He paused, raised his eyes to look at me, and said lightly: "Do you think that the imperial court encircled and suppressed Chu Yan, is it really because he is the master of Wuji Gate?" Yun Zheng's eyes became complicated: "This is just a relatively good excuse." The fundamental reason why the imperial court encircled and suppressed him was to ask for money in his hands. ”

My body trembled and I didn't speak, I had guessed this reason before, but when I heard Yun Zheng say it at this time, I still felt a chill in my heart. Yun Zheng continued: "Since the first emperor, the imperial court has been empty every year. Because of the dispute over the succession, the first emperor made a compromise with the major forces in the court, and delegated the most profitable things in the country, such as transportation, mines, and horse sales, to the hands of the major families, and the emperor's power was weakened. Coupled with the years of war with neighboring countries, the country has not been able to recuperate well, and the treasury has been empty. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to reclaim some of his power, but he was met with considerable resistance when he was in power. Therefore, if he wants to quickly fill the treasury, the easiest and most direct way is to raid his house. ”

I looked at Yun Zheng's eyes and knew the meaning of his complex representation, sooner or later, the imperial court would deal with the Yun family like a knife with Chu Yan. I looked at him fixedly: "The Yun family is richer than Chu Yan. ”

Yun Zheng smiled, his expression unpredictable: "Chu Yan is different from the Yun family, the Yun family has several generations, in addition to being rich, there are also intertwined forces in the court, this is the foundation of the Yun family, and it is impossible to overthrow it easily." And Chu Yan, he doesn't have these forces, no matter how good his relationship with the government is, as long as the court says a word, he can be beaten back to his original form, just like a big tree without roots, no matter how lush the branches and leaves are, no roots are rooted in the soil, and they will fall down as soon as they are pushed. The least clever thing he did was that his power developed too fast, he made too much money, and in just six years, he became a rich man known to the whole country. ”

I was silent, in Yun Zheng's opinion, Chu Yan was pushed and fell, but what about the Yun family being a big tree with roots? If you can't knock it down, can't you use a saw? Do you chop with an axe? It's just a little more effort and a little more time. I sighed lightly and reminded Yun Zheng: "A tree is a tree after all. ”

Yun Zheng immediately understood what I meant, and smiled faintly: "Yes, a tree is a tree after all." But there's still a lot more we can do before this tree falls. Even if the emperor is unwilling to accept this situation, these powers can only be slowly withdrawn, otherwise, those vested interests in the DPRK and China will unite, and even if the emperor can win, the country's vitality will be greatly damaged. Today's saint is different from the previous emperor, he has great ambitions, he will not be so uncalm, to carefully arrange, it will take time, and this time just gives us room to maneuver. ”

Yun Zheng looked at me quietly and said slowly: "The emperor will definitely take the Yun family, and he may not take the Yun family first." And he can't and won't take back all of these interests, what he is most likely to do is to win over a group of people, suppress a group of people, and distribute these forces to more people, so that more people can benefit and divide the forces. The mining disaster in Tieshan County is an example, the Yun family handed over the mining rights of iron ore, which is equivalent to showing goodwill to the emperor, and the emperor will not be forced too much if he gets the benefits, and will not move the Yun family for the time being, and turn his attention to other families. ”

"How do you know?" I took a breath and felt a little throbbing pain in my head, this court, these intrigues, are indeed something I can't touch deeply.

"Because this is a fundamental approach, first take back some power from each family piecemeal, the major families can bear it, and they will not turn against the emperor." Yun Zheng said lightly, "Do you know who the emperor gave the right to mine iron ore?" ”

"Who?" I immediately asked, can I know who is responsible for the mining disaster in Iron Mountain County? Yun Zheng smiled, but there was a touch of appreciation in his eyes: "He didn't give anyone, but set up the post of Metropolitan Mine Supervisor under the Mining Department, and sent them to all parts of the country to manage the iron mines, which are directly controlled by the imperial court, and these people are all people who have been cultivated by the emperor himself over the years." ”

"Then this mining disaster was really ordered by the emperor?" I bit my lower lip and said. Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled: "I can't draw conclusions now, because there were several families fighting for the mining rights of this iron ore before, and they were also quite fierce, but just like we guessed on the boat, whether it was ordered by the emperor or not, the emperor is the ultimate beneficiary." ”

"Who are they?" I frowned and asked, is there only one, or are there several that are likely to frame the Yun family?

Yun Zheng looked at me and said with a smile: "You don't like these intrigues, don't pay attention to them, the most important thing at the moment is to remember that you are not Azure Snow at all, but Ye Haihua." ”

When I think about this, I can't help but feel guilty. Yun Zheng held my hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your words and deeds, temperament, and thoughts are completely different from Azure Xue, I said that it is not easy to pretend to be a person, even if you look similar, you are never sure." He is not at ease, so we might as well let him see it generously and let him test it, but it will be more able to dispel his doubts. ”

"So what am I going to do?" I asked softly.

"Since Wei Xiang cares about you so much, let's go to the door to thank you." Yun Zheng smiled, his eyes widened when he saw me in surprise, "I will let people collect some information about Miss Wei's past as soon as possible, so that you can know more, Wei Xiang is most likely to be identified from some living habits or words and deeds, or ask some domestic servants who have served Miss Wei to identify, you just need to remember that whatever she hates, you may not hate, whatever she likes, you may not like it, see the tricks, it's okay." Yun Zheng said with a smile, his eyes turned, and he said, "Maybe he will also buy the subordinates of the Hou Mansion and let them reveal your situation, or arrange for one or two people to come in to observe you, and I will let Yun Yi pay attention." However, I don't worry about this, because no two people in this world are completely alike, and besides, you are not Azure Snow at all. ”

Yun Zheng's words finally loosened the stone that was pressing on my heart. By the way, I thought of the eldest brother of the Wei family in the Nine Masters' Mansion, maybe I could get some inside information about Azure Snow from him, and I suddenly made a decision in my heart that Ming'er would definitely go to the Nine Masters Mansion to pay a visit.
