If it weren't for Tang Xiaozhi's reminder, Lin Si really couldn't detect what role Yue Luoning played in Hua Susu's matter.

After all, in his opinion, in this matter, Yue Luoning is a victim.

Hua Susu's actions were misunderstood as his own intentions, and in the end, the foreign ministers were combined, and finally became Yue Luoning's henchmen.

Hua Susu's words were even more useful than her words as the Moon King. As the Moon King, she certainly wouldn't want to see this kind of situation.

And in addition, judging from Yue Luoning's position, she must not want to see the royal family's face ripped off by Hua Susu, right?

Lin Si originally thought that the reason why Yue Luoning tolerated Hua Susu was because of her former sisterhood, so she gave in a little bit. So much so that in the end, the irreparable consequences were conceded.

But after getting Tang Xiaozhi's special reminder, Lin Si finally saw the problem.

If Yue Luoning really still cares about sisterhood, then she should have grabbed Hua Susu early to prevent her from falling into it step by step. Could it be that she can't see what's good and what's bad?

The palace and the string city can be said to be Yue Luoning's territory, and Hua Susu's every move can't be hidden from her at all.

In other words, she has actually been quietly watching Hua Susu fall a little bit behind her back.

Hua Susu wants to be the imperial order, so she agrees?

Yue Luoning's status as a woman did bring her some disadvantages, but she was not weak to that point.

In fact, when the power of the foreign courtiers was weak, she could have rejected Hua Susu at first, and she could not promote those people, right? Especially at that time, the local courtiers were still strongly opposed to promoting the prince of Wenkang and Wenrui......

The courtiers outside thought that they had let Yue Luoning promote, but Lin Si knew very well that he was completely unaware. In other words, this is actually deliberately done by Yue Luoning.

Without her proposal and promotion at the beginning, there would be no time for the rise of foreign courtiers today.

She deliberately lit this fire, deliberately conniving and even inducing Hua Susu to go crazy little by little......

Hua Susu actually can't threaten her at all, can't she? Others think that Hua Susu has her unreserved support behind her, and they think that she is the 'prison army' that they have placed next to Yue Luoning, but in fact she is not.

It is impossible for Yue Luoning himself to be unclear about this.

In other words, she could actually restrain Hua Susu forcefully from the beginning, even if she knew, she wouldn't blame her. Because she knew that she was right to do that, Hua Susu was ridiculously wrong.

Even if she took 10,000 steps back, she was afraid that she would think too much, so she could tell herself what Hua Susu had done, and let herself personally control Hua Susu.

But she still didn't, for two whole years, she didn't do anything, didn't say anything, and kept herself in the dark like this.

To say that Hua Susu's depravity is her fault, of course it is not right, after all, Hua Susu did those things herself, and no one forced her.

But Yue Luoning still can't get out of it.

This matter is like Hua Susu walking blindfolded towards the cliff, Yue Luoning deliberately showed weakness and concessions, which is equivalent to always hinting to her by her side, okay, you can continue to move forward, it's okay, there is no danger......

...... is she? What do you want to do?

To be honest, although Yue Luoning seemed a little mysterious in Lin Si's mind, it was the first time to guess and scrutinize her like an opponent like this.

Compared with outsiders, his own brother knows Yue Luoning much more deeply, and he knows how terrible Yue Luoning is. She is an end in herself, who doesn't care about any means.

Her ruthlessness is not inferior to their father Wang Yueshan at all, and even surpasses it. If she was a man and could suppress the ministers, Lin Si even suspected that she would become a tyrant.

But on the other hand, her forbearance is also surprisingly strong. This point, just by looking at her current performance in the court, she completely let those ministers kick their noses in the face but did not react.

It is unlikely that a person like her will deliberately harm Hua Susu and deliberately destroy her just to vent her anger.

The reason is simple, this kind of goal is too small and child's play for her. It's not worth her seriousness at all, it's not worth her effort. What she wants must be a bigger goal.

For the sake of that greater goal, she even endured Hua Susu's thing of bringing wild men into the palace.

So what exactly does she want?

Lin Si only felt that his mind was in a mess, he and Yue Luoning were different people, and he really couldn't put himself in Yue Luoning's position to think, because what Yue Luoning could do, he might not be able to think of.

He only felt a little sad and resentful, he was her own brother, what was she going to do, couldn't she discuss it with herself?

Tang Xiaozhi next to his pillow also fell into deep doubts and puzzlement, and she also couldn't guess Yue Luoning's intentions.

That's right, she's smart and good at handling government affairs. But being good at government affairs does not mean that you are good at power tricks.

"The rise of the ministers of the three kingdoms of Qianlan, Qingchuan, and Southern Qi, and then becoming a henchman, and becoming a force that is difficult for her to control, is this what she wants to see? What can she get? Isn't this forcing herself to a dead end? But this is all a ...... that she deliberately promoted."

With her brows furrowed, she unconsciously muttered to herself, she knew that the reverse effect was the cause, and she took the situation that Yue Luoning got now as her original motive. However, Yue Luoning's motive, she really couldn't understand.

However, as soon as she said this, Lin Si suddenly exclaimed: "I thought about it, I know what she is going to do!"

Tang Xiaozhi hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"She's just playing with fire, is she crazy?"

"Oh, what are you talking about......"

"My sister taught me how to be in politics back then, which you should know. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"I remember what she said at the time. Lin Si's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"What?"

She said...... It is not a bad thing for the courtiers to fight among themselves, but it is not good if they are united. ”

"Huh? Why?"

She said that if they were united, they might be dealing with the king. Let them fight among themselves, but it is more conducive to ruling ......"

"Are you saying that she deliberately used Sister Su as a guise to support foreign ministers, and then let foreign ministers and local ministers fight each other, while she stayed out of the matter and deliberately let them consume each other?"

"That's right, the local minister had no rivals, but she single-handedly created a new force. If she uses her own name to promote foreign ministers, it will be difficult to get approved. Instead, if she is promoted in the name of Sister Su and me, the local courtiers will not oppose her too much, and they will not be wary of her.

For this reason, she deliberately made Sister Su a powerful figure, that is, to let her support the foreign courtiers, so that the foreign courtiers could compete with the local ministers. ”

"That's not unavoidable...... It's incredible. Foreign ministers won't come according to her wishes, and local courtiers won't all be her opponents!" This explanation made Tang Xiaozhi feel very ridiculous.

"You haven't been to court, you don't know. That was the case at the time of the tax reform, and if it weren't for me, it would have been almost overwhelmingly opposed. It was difficult for her to get the support of these old ministers of the Moon Kingdom, and because of her identity as a woman, it was difficult for her to fight them. Even many local courtiers still want her to abdicate and let me go up.

So in the end, she decided to support another faction and add new enemies to the native ministers to attract their firepower. She doesn't need foreign courtiers to support her, as long as they fight between them wantonly and no longer deal with her one-sided King of the Moon. The two factions fought happily, and in the end, it would only be her who was cheaper......"

At this point, Lin Si had already understood it thoroughly.

Yue Luoning also said another thing, didn't he say that the courtier's fault might not be discovered by the king and the supervision department, but his political enemies would spare no effort to investigate......

Combined with what I saw and heard during this period of time, how similar is this?

The ministers of the two factions attacked each other, and they didn't need her to investigate anything at all, and they didn't need her to make trouble, they shook out all the guilt and scandal to each other.

And all she has to do is pick those who she wants to 'kill', and then punish them according to the will of the courtiers......

"It's too dangerous, and if the two ministers join forces, it will be even more difficult for her, the king, to sit down. Tang Xiaozhi only felt that it was really an eye-opener, and she didn't know how to evaluate Yue Luoning now.

This kind of method, if Lin Si didn't remind her, she wouldn't have thought of it anyway. It takes a skillful wrist and a strong enough spirit to finally ...... You have to be able to endure.

If other monarchs were in her kind of situation, I am afraid that they would have torn their faces with the courtiers a long time ago, and they would have done it against Ming. And in doing that, it will be very difficult to get good results in the end.

"They can't unite, and some contradictions are irreconcilable at all. There are naturally sharp contradictions between foreign courtiers and local courtiers, and if they unite, they will only damage their own interests. What's more, she is very careful now, she didn't wantonly attack these ministers at all, but just used a puppet posture to conform to everyone's wishes......"

"And then after a long time, the ministers of the two factions will slowly lose both? But after suppressing the old people, the new people who are promoted are not necessarily her people. ”

"I'm not sure if the newcomer is her person, I don't know if she has a backhand. But if my guess is correct, the ministers of the neutral faction are probably the ones who throw themselves in her, and there are even those in both factions who secretly turn to her......"

"If she is like this, the court will be chaotic for a long time, isn't this a joke for the people of Limin?"

For her, the voice that can purge the court to her alone may be the most important thing. Lin Si also frowned, he intuitively felt that it was not right for Yue Luoning to play with power like this, but he couldn't say why.

He shook his head suddenly: "No, in fact, now that her goal has been achieved, more than half of it has been achieved. ”

"For what purpose?"

"In the past, it was difficult for her decrees to be enforced, because the local ministers would cling together to resist her. But now, what the local courtiers oppose, the foreign courtiers are likely to deliberately support, if only to make it impossible for their political opponents to succeed...... On the contrary, if the foreign courtiers are unwilling, the local courtiers may also support it. In fact, she has unconsciously made it easier for her meaning to be carried out......"

Tang Xiaozhi's eyes couldn't help but widen: "You mean, the two factions are fighting, but both sides need her to do an arbitration, or even fight for her position as a monarch?"

"It seems, that's the ......"

Lin Si herself was also surprised by this speculation, but recalling the scene when she was in the court for more than ten days, Yue Luoning's words would indeed not be one-sided resistance and opposition now, and several times her opinions would have a large group of inexplicable supporters.

Under her skill, the tax reform that was abolished at the beginning was actually re-implemented two months ago. And this time, it went much smoother than the previous one.

The reason is simple, she uses foreign courtiers to 'supervise' the local ministers, so that those people will no longer dare to engage in corruption and fraud as before......

In the past, foreign ministers were weak and could not shake the local ministers, but now they can do this, and the local ministers have to guard against these 'princess parties' who are always thinking about collecting evidence to attack them.
