However, Li Qingqing couldn't be happy, she was also thinking about whether the mother queen was too partial.

Why are you so cold to her? Isn't she biological?

Li Qingqing smiled bitterly, not all children in this world who are not favored by their parents are picked up.

She is very sure that she is biological, maybe because her father's identity is unknown and her whereabouts are uncertain, so from father to daughter, the mother hates her father as much as she hates herself.

Or perhaps, her birth was just an accident, so the mother was too reluctant to love herself.

Hey, that's it, I don't want to do that.

……

A few days later, just as the empress was considering what crime to convict the three princesses, news came from the prison that the three princesses committed suicide, but left a suicide note before committing suicide, asking the empress not to harm her father's family.

The Dingguo Mansion originally didn't know that the three princesses secretly gathered troops and plotted rebellion, so in the end, the empress did not blame the Wu family.

But the Wu family knew that it would be more difficult for them to gain a foothold in the court after this time.

……

After the turmoil of the three princesses subsided, the situation in the imperial court fell into various tensions.

The ministers who had previously supported the three empresses had become targets at the moment, although the empress did not embarrass them, but took the opportunity to transfer their official positions and increase the number of officials. An adjutant has been added to almost every official position.

To put it bluntly, this adjutant is trying to empty them.

The ministers of the Three Queens' Party were panicked.

In addition to the addition of court officials, the number of foreign officials in Xia County was also increased.

In the past, the counties and states only had a history of thorns, and there were no county guards. In order to reduce expenses during the reign of the former emperor Fenghua and Empress Fenghua, the official position of the county guard was abolished, and the rank of the assassin was raised.

But today, Empress Fenghe has re-established the post of county guard, and the official rank is equivalent to that of the assassin. The county guard is a civil official, and the assassin is a military attaché.

From now on, although the official rank of the assassin has not changed, the authority has changed, especially the transfer of troops here, although the assassin history is still used as the order, but there must be the seal of the county guard.

This was also a reform made by the empress in order to prevent another mutiny.

After the reform order was issued, the selection of officials attracted the attention of the people.

Because of the increase in official positions this time, there were not enough officials in the imperial court, so talented people had to be elected from the people. And because the empress issued a decree early on the equality of men and women, many men who read poetry and books wanted to seize the opportunity to jump up.

In the palace of the Huangge King, Li Qingqing looked at the letters from Shuofeng, which were densely packed with many young talents.

The corners of Li Qingqing's mouth raised slightly, and he handed the letter to Mr. Wei Li and Gongsun Fu.

"Two gentlemen, look, how are these people?"

Wei Li looked at it first, and then handed it to Gongsun Fu.

Both of them are not familiar with these people, so they can only analyze it from the evaluation handed by Shuofeng.

Shuo Feng writes very objectively, the talents, shortcomings, and personalities of these people are all written in it, what kind of officials are suitable for, what is the use, and the writing is clear, and they don't need to use their brains at all.

After Gongsun Fu read it, he handed the letter back to Li Qingqing and said, "Reliable!" ”

Mr. Wei Li was relieved, "It seems that Shuofeng has fulfilled its mission!" ”

I remember when I first rescued Shuofeng, his vicissitudes of life and gloomy appearance made people really worried that he had exhausted Jiang Lang, and now after seeing his letter, Mr. Wei Li was relieved and relieved, if he really collapsed, he was still a little sorry for His Highness's trust.

However, the two gentlemen were curious, "How does Your Highness want to promote these people?" ”

After all, the empress should not accept the person she proposed.

Li Qingqing had already thought of a way, and said with a deep smile, "Do you know what Shuofeng is doing in Coastal County?" ”

Wei Li wondered, Gongsun Fu shook his head, she didn't tell them this, how did they know.

Li Qingqing said, "Win over the squire!"

This kid is very communicative and has a wide range of contacts.

It's only been a few months, and I'm already getting along with the squire.

Don't underestimate these people, the first thing to pass through is the hands of these people, followed by the county magistrate.

Especially when the county magistrate from other places faces the local squire, it is even more interesting. ”

The two gentlemen understood, His Highness's trick was really high.

At this time, Li Qingqing was thinking of a way to install his own people into the court.

The ministers of the Three Emperors and Women's Party, who were watching being squeezed and sitting on the ground, were in a hurry.

These ministers were really miserable by the Dingguo Mansion.

I think they didn't plan to follow the Three Princesses at the beginning, after all, His Majesty has already set up the Crown Princess, and fools can see that the throne will be given to her in the future, so why should they stand on the side of the Three Princesses.

It's just helpless, they have an inextricable relationship with the Dingguo Mansion, either they are the in-laws of the Dingguo Mansion, or they were promoted by the people of the Dingguo Mansion, they have the grace of knowing each other, or they were deceived.

The people of the Dingguo Mansion lied to them that His Majesty loved the three princesses very much, and the princess did behave as a bastard at the beginning, so they were sure that someone else would be appointed to the position of the prince in the future.

Then, for various reasons, they stood on the side of the Three Princesses.

Nowadays, some of these people have decided to keep a low profile and eat as much as they can.

There are some people who want to see the wind make the rudder and take refuge in the princess to be familiar.

There are also those who want to instigate the Dingguo Mansion to take revenge on Her Majesty the Empress.

Dingguo Mansion

"Old Guogong, how can you swallow this matter? What a kind woman the Three Princesses are, if it weren't for the Five Princesses and the Empress Dowager stirring around in the middle, would she be able to embark on this path? Old Guogong, we have to avenge the three princesses! ”

A certain female official knelt at the feet of the old lady Wu, the female princess, and cried with tears.

Mrs. Wu's heart was broken by crying, her granddaughter, the hope of their Wu family, was gone, her heart hurt.

When the female official saw that Mrs. Wu's eyes were stunned and her expression was in a trance, she knew that it was caused by excessive distress, and she knew that she was haunted by the death of the third princess.

So she stepped up her efforts and continued, "Old Guogong, although Your Majesty has not held your Wu family accountable for this matter of the Third Imperial Daughter. But in the future, when the crown princess ascends the throne as emperor, will she let you go? Your Wu family is already on the cusp now, even if you want to calm down, people with ulterior motives will not let you go.

In my opinion, at this time, we should find another backer, and then suppress the crown princess and the five princesses, so that we can have a chance to settle down. ”

Mrs. Wu was moved, and immediately bent down to support the female official in person, "Come, get up and say!" ”

The female official sat next to Mrs. Wu, the lower position, and whispered, "We should find the fourth prince as a backer!" ”

Mrs. Wu was stunned, a little incredulous.

The female official continued, "The women of the Great Qi Kingdom have been respected for hundreds of years, and they have awakened the idea of male respect since the first emperor. Besides, there are male emperors in Beixing Kingdom, and there are also male emperors in Kite Kingdom, why can't I be in the dynasty? If the Dingguo Mansion is a hero to protect the new emperor, do you still need to be afraid? ”

Mrs. Wu suddenly realized.
