As soon as the emperor's list came out, there was a bloody storm all of a sudden, and many ministers in the court were very anxious about this matter, Du Yan's influence on Xiao Yechen greatly surprised them, which made them realize that Du Yan, the queen, was only much higher than they thought in the emperor's heart.

And as the imperial list was posted everywhere, even small places like Qingshan Town heard some rumors.

"Have you heard?"

In the teahouse, a bearded man said with a surprised face: "It is said that the emperor is angry at the crown today, and the queen doesn't know what illness she has. ”

"Is that true?"

"How many officials can't do it in their lifetime, and the emperor only regards it as a reward, or a reward for curing diseases! This is too child's play! ”

As soon as he said this, many people shouted at this time, although they were all civilians, they also knew how rare these third-grade officials were, and now they could get these third-grade officials for nothing just for a woman, which made them a little annoyed.

After hearing these complaints, the big man who had just spoken only lowered his head and drank his tea, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

This scene takes place not only in Qingshan Town, but also in many places, and each place is a similar scene, a similar dialogue.

It was night, in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, the mountain wind gusted, adding a bit of gloom to this deep place, but in this depth, it was almost brightly lit, and many people were standing in the front hall, just waiting for Xiao Wenqing's arrival.

Xiao Wenqing walked slowly, with a happy smile on his face, and the man standing next to him was the bearded man in today's teahouse.

"Mo Bai, how are things going?"

Xiao Wenqing stood here and only asked lightly.

As soon as he heard this, Mo Bai immediately replied: "Back to the master, we have already done everything you ordered, and those people were very excited when they heard this, and they were very angry about Xiao Yechen's actions!" ”

As he spoke, there was a smile on his white face that couldn't be hidden, and he only smiled low at this time, which was very proud.

"Well done!" Xiao Wenqing smiled, he clenched his hands, and his eyes were full of imperativeness.

What is the most important thing about being an emperor? It's the hearts of the people! At present, Xiao Yechen does not hesitate to do this step for the sake of Du Yan, as long as he adds a few more fires to it, it is bound to make Xiao Yechen's image in the hearts of the people drop greatly! In this way, you will be able to take advantage of the situation!

Just thinking like this, Xiao Wenqing's heart quickly became excited, he was very happy at the moment, and now he looked at Mo Bai, so he ordered: "Immediately send a message to Mo Xuan, let him find out all the old departments before this king in the capital, organize them, and must take advantage of this opportunity to ruthlessly weaken Xiao Yechen's strength!" ”

"Yes! Subordinates will do it! ”

Mo Bai felt Xiao Wenqing's mood, and at this time he was also excited, these subordinates had followed Xiao Wenqing for so long, for this day.

Just thinking so, he immediately went out. Xiao Wenqing's face was full of smiles, he knew that he was not far from the day of success!

In the capital, under the deliberate interference of Xiao Wenqing, rumors spread everywhere, and many people felt that Xiao Yechen regarded the affairs of the court as a child's play, and some people even secretly scolded Xiao Yechen for fainting.

All of this was investigated by Leng Yan, and he stepped forward, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, and even a little flustered.

"Your Majesty, what is going on now?" Leng Yan didn't even dare to look up to see what Xiao Yechen's face was.

However, he still raised his head and secretly glanced at Xiao Yechen's expression at this time, but now Xiao Yechen seemed to have expected it, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, he flipped through these investigations little by little, and finally showed an extremely sarcastic smile on his face.

"Xiao Wenqing's method is to block all my roads!"

Xiao Yechen smiled sarcastically, how did he not know what Xiao Wenqing's plan was, but when it came to Du Yan, even if he knew that it was a trap, he had to jump down!

"I can't hand over Yan'er to him, I can only choose this method, but after choosing this method, I will be infamous as a faint monarch and lose the hearts of the people, and he, Xiao Wenqing, is adding oil and vinegar behind his back and taking all the benefits into his own hands!

Leng Yan listened to Xiao Yechen's words, his heart was not good, he could only stand aside silently, listening to Xiao Yechen's words.

"I'm afraid that this next step is the advice of the courtiers!"

Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, many ministers mentioned this.

"Your Majesty, the queen is now in a coma, it is reasonable for you to worry, but you are the lord of a country, how can you leave the world behind for the sake of a woman!"

"What Master Chen said is reasonable! Your Majesty, the officials of our court are all promoted, how can they abandon the etiquette because of a woman! ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"I think it's ......"

"Enough!" Xiao Yechen listened to a few voices in his ears, his face was already gloomy, he looked around, half of these dozens of ministers were persuading him not to do these things for Du Yan.

Hearing these words, Xiao Yechen didn't know what to think in his heart, his eyes sank, and he looked at a few ministers, he knew that he might be a little too impulsive to do this, but Du Yan was in danger, and he couldn't leave Du Yan behind.

In this world, this throne, if there is no Du Yan, what is the point?

"You don't need to say it anymore, I have already decided on this matter, but I am a third-grade official, what you have done in your hearts over the years, you yourself know in your hearts, if it weren't for me turning a blind eye, yours

How can a family prosper? ”

As soon as Xiao Yechen's words came out, the faces of some ministers suddenly changed, but they didn't expect that Xiao Yechen would say this, making it clear that he was talking about their big families.

For a while, there were many fewer voices of rebuttal in the DPRK, Xiao Yechen said well, today's Chu State implements the nine-product Zhongzheng system, among them, the family background is the most important, even if the commoners have great talents, they can only serve as staff members in some families, and those who can enter the government are all scholars.

It is precisely because of this that the family can continue to reproduce, but with the prosperity of the scholar family, it is bound to be disliked by the emperor, and the Cheng family, which has been destroyed, is an excellent example.

Seeing that the ministers below had all shut up and stopped talking, Xiao Yechen said coldly: "If you ministers have free time to take care of me, it is better to see where the remnants of the Cheng family are!" ”

After hearing this, the ministers responded again and again, they didn't dare to go against Xiao Yechen anymore, but they didn't dare to say anything on the surface, and there was still resentment in their hearts.

Xiao Yechen didn't care about this, and after retreating, he went straight to Chenyang Palace.
