At night, Gyeongshou Palace.

Ye Tianhuai was wearing a single middle coat and a black satin robe on the outside, she sat on the edge of the collapse, looking at the edict in her hand with a sense of fascination.

She's been like this for an hour.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and Aunt Fanghua and Li Baoquan had already slept, leaving only a few little eunuchs to guard outside the palace. If Aunt Fanghua and Li Baoquan are here, they must nagged in her ear to take care of the dragon's body.

The edict in her hand was drafted by Gu Shihai in Dali Temple, and was sent by the cabinet in the afternoon. It is written that Wang Lisong's crime and the results of the trial of the three divisions are needed, and only the emperor's seal is needed to inform the government and the opposition of the decision to dismiss Wang Lisong from his post and exile.

She had to stamp it. Even though she knew how ridiculous this triage was.

Although Ye Qianhuai has never been interested in politics, after all, she is a child born in the royal family and raised in the royal family, and more than ten years of exposure have cultivated her keen political sense, and her growth experience of dressing up as a man has cultivated her cautious temperament.

The current situation is very different from what she thought, and what is even more terrifying is that she doesn't even know how deep this pool of water is.

But the situation will only be more difficult than she could have imagined. Gu Shihai was able to stage a show of pointing at a deer as a horse in front of her and a group of courtiers, which shows that this court has long been surnamed Gu instead of Ye.

Maybe there are still a few loyal and outspoken hard bones in the court, but in the current situation, they can't speak out, and Ye Tianhuai is unwilling to let them stand up and speak out at this time. They stood up at this time, but they just added a few "Li Wenqing" in vain.

Gu Shihai's prestige in the court was established in the Renshen Rebellion.

In the Renshen Rebellion, the commander of the forbidden army was instigated by the great prince to launch a palace mutiny, and the prince mobilized the nine guards of Gyeonggi to enter the palace to suppress the rebellion in the name of protecting the emperor. However, what the old emperor never expected was that the crown prince did not come to the side of the Qing monarch, and the prince, who had exterminated the rebels, turned the spearhead and pointed the blood-stained sword in his hand at his father on the throne.

If it weren't for Gu Shihai, who was the squire of the Criminal Department at the time, and dozens of patrols from the Investigation Department of the Criminal Department would not retreat to protect the emperor, I was afraid that Emperor Shunping would have died under his son's sword.

Gu Shihai has become famous since then.

I heard that the sunset was stained with blood that day, and Gu Shihai, who was over the age of not confused, stood outside the Taihe Hall with a long knife in his hand, with several arrows in his body, covered in blood, but he stood like a god of war. He was fearless in the face of an enemy ten times his size, and shouted: "The eagle's nest flying general Gu Shihai is here, and if you dare to enter the snake and rat, you will be in a different place!" "He drank the enemy so that for a moment no one dared to come forward.

After the Renshen Rebellion, Emperor Shunping thanked Gu Shihai for his meritorious service, appreciated and relied on him, and handed over the Ministry of Rites, Criminal Department, and Military Department to him in just one year, and even appointed him as an auxiliary minister to support the young emperor on the occasion of the funeral.

Gu Shihai's promotion can be described as a step to the sky, and no one can match the two hundred years of history of Dajing.

As for this second assistant, Ye Tianhuai has always trusted and admired him. On the one hand, it is because of his father's approval and entrustment. On the other hand, it is because Gu Shihai's heroic spirit of "although tens of millions of people have gone to me" in the Renshen Rebellion is really embarrassing, although Ye Tianhuai is his daughter's family, he can't help but be impressed by his courage.

Therefore, to this day, she can't figure out how the great hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness in the past became a country thief.

"Is power really that scary?" Ye Tianhuai couldn't help muttering to himself.

Ye Qianhuai remembered that before Emperor Shunping died, he had warned her that courtiers were like bowstrings, no matter how easy they were used, they had to be replaced after a long time. Because power corrupts people's hearts and makes people's hearts relaxed.

She looked at the edict in her hand, every stroke on the edict came from Gu Shihai's pen, the iron painting silver hook, strong and powerful, at first glance, it was from the hands of the martial arts. Gu Shihai's heart, has it really become relaxed?

She didn't know.

Ye Qianhuai closed the edict and got up and put it on the bookcase. She wasn't going to stamp it, at least not today.

She is unwilling, unwilling to bow her head and retreat like this, to be a puppet in the hands of powerful ministers, and to retreat in this harem for the rest of her life. She wanted to give herself another chance, and also give the situation a chance to change.

She wants to find Wang Lisong, whether she is dead or alive, as long as she can find him before this edict is issued, then everything can be done.

But how easy is that? Wang Lisong is the crux of everything, and Gu Shihai is bound to lock him up in the most secret place. With Ye exerting his own strength, even if he digs three feet into the ground, I am afraid it will be difficult to find the slightest trace.

She needs people.

But after all, she has just become a pro-government, and most of the ministers in the court are old ministers left by her father, and there are no close ministers of her own. Not to mention the previous dynasty, even in the harem, there are very few people she can trust.

She has too few pieces in her hand. Ye Tianhuai was a little annoyed. She reigned for two years in vain, but she wasted her time and made no achievements, and she thought that the government and the opposition were peaceful, and it was a situation of mutual trust between the monarch and the minister. In fact, she is just a pet kept in the palace, and everything she sees and hears is just a fairy tale deliberately woven for her by others.

Also, if the court and the central government are really loyal to the monarch, and the monarch and the ministers are single-minded, how could Dajing die so easily?

It's just that she always focuses on Lu Yanchen, resenting him and hating him, thinking that he is dead, so that she doesn't notice how many hidden dangers there are in the court in front of her.

If the government and the opposition are clear, and the soldiers are strong and strong, why are they afraid of the rebels?

She remembered that before she died in her previous life, she insisted on asking Lu Yanchen a word, in his heart, she was really as stupid as he wrote in the essay. And Lu Yanchen's answer is still in his ears.

"Since ancient times, there have only been overthrown faint monarchs, and there have been no overthrown Ming monarchs."

Perhaps, in Lu Yanchen's eyes, he was really a loyal and treacherous faint gentleman at that time.

Thinking of this, Ye Tianhuai had a somewhat ridiculous guess in his heart: If what Lu Yanchen said was true, and he really had deep hopes for her, the emperor, then he would not have been disappointed because he saw her mediocre and incompetent, so he forced the palace to abdicate, right?

This thought was just a flash, and it was denied by Ye Tianhuai. What a rebellion is, and how can it be for such a ridiculous reason?

Thinking of the origin of Lu Yanchen's rebellion, Ye Tianhuai quickly thought of another thing.

Gu Shihai in his previous life also died in the hands of Lu Yanchen, and it can even be said that Gu Shihai was the fuse of Lu Yanchen's uprising.

In the previous life, after Lu Yanchen returned to his hometown Ding Wei, Ye Tianhuai's identity as a woman was leaked, and soon after that, news came from Yunzhou that Gu Shihai's eldest son was attacked during a routine patrol in Yunzhou, and more than a dozen attendants in the same company did not survive, and the perpetrator was Lu Yanchen who was in Yunzhou Ding Wei.

Lu Yanchen killed the official of the imperial court, and he was both killed horizontally and vertically, so he simply raised the anti-flag. Gu Shihai hated him deeply because of the loss of his beloved son, and took the initiative to ask for help several times, but was stopped by the courtiers with the overall situation as the priority. However, in the end, Lu Yanchen was killed under Shengjing City, and Gu Shihai did not surrender, but still died in the hands of Lu Yanchen.

When he saw the report sent by Yunzhou, Ye Tianhuai's shock was like today's trial. She couldn't imagine the appearance of Lu Yanchen holding a knife, not only took the knife, but also killed more than a dozen people in one go, and killed the eldest son of the second assistant of the dynasty.

What makes a well-educated man who has no power to lift a knife and commit murder?

Ye Qianhuai didn't know.

But she knew that Lu Yanchen must not be in the same boat as Gu Shihai.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In Gu Shihai's matter, Lu Yanchen may be an available person.

Ye Tianhuai decided to test Lu Yanchen.
