The most central location of the capital Bakong City, Tiandu Pavilion, the top floor.

A young and handsome man stood in the Imperial Garden, looking at the Yuan Ball that glowed from the crystal clear roof high up.

The young man's whole body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of light.

At the blue and white porcelain table sat a lady with a beautiful face, looking to be in her thirties.

The noble lady smiled and said to the young man, "Mingyi, come and sit, don't stand all the time." ”

The voice sounds very charming and moving.

Ming Yi was enthroned as Emperor of the Moyuan Empire at the age of sixteen in the year 21884 of the Celestial Calendar, and has been for eight years.

Mingyi looked back at the noble lady, and said with a slightly puzzled expression: "Mom, why does the Yuan Ball light and darken so regularly?"

The noble lady covered her mouth and smiled: "Mingyi, you are thinking about these things again, let those scholars study these unclear problems." ”

Ming Yi walked to the porcelain table and sat down and said, "Mom, you said I don't want these things, what else can I think? ”

The noble lady is Ming Yi's mother, Moyuan Empress Dowager Yun Ke.

Yun Ke looked at Ming Yi calmly and said, "Ming Yi, the current situation is in your hands, and you can't control it, you better wait and see what happens." ”

Ming Yi said: "I know that the current situation needs Yuan Jian to preside, but after all, I am the emperor, and I want to participate." ”

Yun Ke said: "Son, we can't be the master of Moyuan now, although you are the emperor, but there is no army to serve you, the country is currently in a state of crisis, even if it is Yuan Jia who has military power, it is difficult to deal with it, you can only lie dormant with peace of mind, wait until the crisis is resolved, and see Yuan Jia's attitude." ”

Ming Yi said: "Mom, what if someone supports him as the emperor?"

Yun Ke looked at him quietly and said, "Mingyi, if you want to continue to be the emperor, then you have to start preparing. ”

Ming Yi said: "Yuan Jian has a lot of respect for me on the surface, but in fact, he has planted a lot of eyes and ears inside and outside the palace, and if I make a slight move, it will immediately arouse his suspicion." ”

Yun Ke nodded and said, "Mingyi, it's good that you know." ”

Mingyi frowned and said, "Mother, then you still told me to start preparing?"

Yun Ke smiled and said: "I am the Empress Dowager, I should stay away from politics, and I can't give you too much advice on the struggle for political power and the world, but if you want to control the country by yourself, you might as well in the current state, on the one hand, secretly pay attention to whether the people around you have the eyes and ears of Yuanjia, and on the other hand, cultivate some people you can trust, and use them to make more contact with people who support you from the outside world." ”

Ming Yi shook his head and said, "Everyone around me looks like they were sent by Yuan Jia, it's too difficult to distinguish." ”

Yun Ke said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, take your time, now you still have to support Yuan Jian to solve the crisis of annihilation brought by the Yan Kingdom, after the national situation is stabilized, as long as you are not found by Yuan Jia obvious weaknesses, it is difficult for him to directly replace you as the new emperor of the empire, the emperor is the symbol of the empire, not something that can be replaced casually." ”

Mingyi said: "Yuan Jian is invisible, and it is impossible to know whether he wants to control the power of the country or the identity of the emperor. ”

Yun Ke said: "Naturally, both wanted, but for tens of millions of years, people like Yuan Jian who held great power often appeared, but they were not able to successfully seize the position of the emperor of the Ming family, only Li Xie eight thousand years ago, abolished the emperor Ming Yue, but only less than ten years later, he was overthrown by the emperor's supporters." ”

Ming Yi nodded and said: "It's just that the current times have changed, and it is difficult for those who have military power to be overthrown, in the past, it was the era of cold weapons, and it was difficult for military strength to get an overwhelming advantage, and now it is the era of new weapons, and it is difficult for civilian forces outside the army to have new weapons to compete with the army." ”

Yun Ke said: "Mingyi, you are very smart, there will be a way." ”

Mingyi said: "Yuan Jian and I mentioned that they want to get the latest weapons from the Snow Country to defend against the Yan Country, but it is very difficult, but if the empire's major chaebols come forward, regardless of national and political factors, the Snow Country may sell them the latest weapons." ”

Yun Ke said: "If a rich man like Jiangchen is loyal to you, it is naturally a good thing, but it is said that the relationship between Chongyishan and him is very ambiguous at present, Chongyishan is known for being good at inciting people's hearts, and has always wanted to be the new ruler of the empire, he must have prescribed a strong temptation to Jiangchen, preconceived, it should be very difficult for you to get Jiangchen's support." ”

Ming Yi nodded and said, "I don't think about it anymore, because Yuan Jian is already thinking of a way to block his possible support for Chongyi Mountain. As long as Jiangchen loses his help, Chongyi Mountain will not pose any threat to the empire. ”

Yun Ke stretched out his delicate hand and picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

Ming Yi continued: "On the contrary, I am more interested in the relatively low-key rich man Lei Jiazhen. ”

Yun Ke said: "Mingyi, your problem now is that it is difficult for you to make a lot of contact with the outside world, as long as you have any changes, Yuan Jian will know." ”

Mingyi said: "Mom, there shouldn't be anything serious to do tomorrow morning recently." ”

Yun Ke's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Mingyi, you don't want to use your sister to help you get in touch with these people, right?"

Mingyi smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I just suddenly thought that Ming Chen often disguises herself as a man to go out to play, and Yuan Jian won't pay attention to her, after all, Ming Chen is a girl and never asks about political affairs." ”

Yun Ke still couldn't help frowning and said, "Your sister is fun, but it's okay this way, it won't cause unnecessary danger because it involves political struggles." Mingyi, I think you still have to think of other ways, tomorrow morning girls are not suitable to meddle in these things. ”

Ming Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't pull Ming Chen in, I'll find someone else." Besides, now that the crisis is at hand, everyone's focus is on the threat of the Yan Country, and I can safely look for someone who can help me. ”

Yun Ke then put his mind at ease and said, "Mingyi, during this time, I can walk around, presumably no one dares to spy on me, I can try to contact and see if I can find someone who can assist you." ”

Mingyi grabbed Yun Ke's hand and said: "Mom, this is not necessary, although there may be people who are placed by Yuan Huan's side, but after all, more people around me are still loyal to me, I will find a group of people, I will arrange it myself, you don't want to participate, you will give me a staff officer, now except for you, where can I have someone who can be completely trusted." ”

Yun Ke said: "That's right, think about it carefully, you can still find a lot of people around you who can be trusted, such as your queen Bingning, she and you must be of the same mind, but her father and two younger brothers, don't count on it." By the way, why didn't Haiqing see it?"

Mingyi smiled and said, "She and Ming Chen can play together, the two of them should go to the city to play." ”
