On the way back to the Jin Palace, Ting recalled what she had seen and heard earlier, although she also felt very happy, but she had some doubts, so she asked Eleven Niang for advice: "Today, Mrs. Zhen won a big victory, and there is no need for us to help her from the side, why is it necessary to show favor to Eleven Sister?" ”

"It's not a big win, it's a small win at most." Eleven Niang: "The Chen family is too light today, and was caught off guard by Mrs. Zhen and the nineteenth uncle and grandmother, but when it comes to victory, in fact, it is not only we who are present to witness it." ”

Ting thought for a while, and then bowed his head: "In the past, the patriarch also trusted Chen Junjun very much, so he allowed her to take charge of internal affairs on her behalf, but today's incident is ...... Knowing that the princess was present, Chen Junjun instigated the women of the clan to come to the door to make trouble, exposing the family scandal in front of others, just to compete with Mrs. Zhen for prestige, the patriarch will inevitably be dissatisfied with Chen Junjun, and I am afraid that he will no longer trust him in the future. ”

Eleven Niang agreed: "This is the subtlety of Mrs. Zhen, she did not slander the Chen family, but let Liu Gong understand the Chen's selfish desires." ”

"That's why I can't figure it out, since Mrs. Zhen is confident, why do she still want to fight for foreign aid from the eleventh sister?"

"Because of the status of the clan, sometimes it doesn't all depend on whether it is a clan woman, for example, it is the queen of a country, whether she can really be the mother of the world, and it is not certain, and it is said that the queen's concubine, according to the law of etiquette, is determined to be the prince, but throughout the ages, how many concubines have ascended to the ninety-five? For the big clans, although the position of the patriarch will generally not be shaken, there have also been cases of inheritance by the son of the clan who is not the son of the patriarch, and it is not uncommon. ”

In fact, the patriarch of a clan is inherited by the eldest son is not out of the law, only that most of the big clans take the initiative to obey the eldest son to inherit the clan rights, but there are exceptions, such as Lu Li's great-grandfather, who once warned Xue Zizhan and advocated letting Lu Li succeed to the position of patriarch in the future.

"Although Mrs. Zhen's eldest son Liu Qingju is a legitimate son, but Chen's eldest son Liu Qingcheng's career is more smooth, in the Qingzi generation, Qingcheng is now more prestigious than Qingju, Mrs. Zhen herself should not be greedy for power, the reason why she competes with the Chen family is nothing more than for her son, although Mrs. Zhen does not take the Chen family in her eyes, but she will definitely guard against Liu Qingcheng, which is the fundamental reason why she strives for the Jin Wangfu for foreign aid."

In other words, Mrs. Zhen does not need foreign aid to be in charge of clan affairs, but her wish is by no means so simple.

Shi Niang said again: "Moreover, it is not easy for Mrs. Zhen to suppress the Chen family, Chen's defeat this time can only let Mrs. Zhen take charge of internal affairs again, but the Chen family has been in business for many years, and it will not be so easy to fail, not to mention that she also has such an eldest son as Liu Qingcheng, among the people of the Liu clan in Taiyuan, as long as they hope for the politicians, they will show sincerity to the Chen family, even if Mrs. Zhen is a clan woman, but many things, not to mention that she can't say the same, it is Liu Gong, I am afraid that there is no such prestige." ”

"Could it be that Mrs. Zhen wants to deal with Liu Qingcheng?"

"It may be a bit exaggerated to deal with it, but it should be Mrs. Zhen's will to suppress it." Shi Niang's attitude at this time was very ambiguous: "Look at it, if Liu Qingcheng still has some foresight, and will not obey Chen's words and hinder the implementation of the new policy, then it means that he does not intend to get involved in the position of patriarch, and of course Mrs. Zhen will not suppress him, let's not be for this wicked person, but if Liu Qingcheng decides to take refuge in Mao Wei......"

Princess Jin smiled, so don't blame her for being ruthless.

Even if Liu Qingcheng may not have the actual act of doing evil, Eleven Niang will definitely not be merciful, as long as he throws himself into the power dump, then there is no innocence at all, since he is greedy and acts to realize his greed, he must be prepared to be hit, all the Queen Mother Party is an enemy, and the benevolence of Eleven Niang's women can be extremely limited.

As for whether Liu Ren, the patriarch of Taiyuan Liu, regards Liu Qingcheng as the family's hope, it is not in the scope of Eleven Niang's consideration at all, and Taiyuan Liu is by no means the only talented nephew of Liu Qingcheng, she also believes that Liu Ren, as the patriarch, can at least make basic trade-offs.

Angelica Yu was in charge of the residence, and Jiang Huai almost immediately reported that Baiyu had something important to inform the princess.

Bai Yu used to be He Zhan's martial artist, although he was nominally a servant of Eleven Niang at this time, but Eleven Niang has always respected him, and entrusted all the important tasks of exploration to Bai Yu, which naturally also includes correspondence with Kyoto, Bai Yu can be said to be the first confidant of Eleven Niang, and his status is comparable to Jiang Yu to He Ye, although Jiang Huai is also considered to be Eleven Niang's subordinate, but it is arranged by He Ye, there are some things, Eleven Niang still has something to hide from him, so whenever Bai Yu speaks, he will not say it directly to Jiang Huai, it is Eleven Niang who personally hears it.

He Ye is indeed a high-quality lord, and he is reserved for Eleven Niang.

Therefore, there is no need to have any scruples about the secret conversation between Eleven Niang and Bai Yu, but this time there is no need to hide what Bai Yu knows from King Jin, it turns out that after leaving Beijing, He Zhan's first letter was finally delivered to Jinyang.

Eleven Niang simply handed it over to He Ye, of course, He Ye didn't understand it at all.

For the epistle is written in a secret language.

"What do you mean, princess?" His Royal Highness the King of Jin flicked the letter paper in his hand, quite gritting his teeth: "He Shishi narrated these words, the princess doesn't need to tell the truth, right?" Could it be that the princess also believes that Ai Lu girl slandered the king, thinking that the king has a small belly and chicken intestines? ”

"Negligent, negligent." Eleven Niang blamed herself again and again: "I wanted to explain the secret to His Highness, so I handed the letter to His Highness." ”

He Ye: ......

"In this way, the princess actually knew about the secret words between you and Shishilang, and I didn't know about it?"

Eleven Niang: ......

As keen as she is, such a mistake can happen, I really don't know whether to blame myself for being careless, or should I blame His Royal Highness King Jin for being too witty?

"Forget it, I don't hide anything from the princess, and the princess doesn't need to tell everything." He Ye immediately showed his tolerance and generosity, and no longer pursued this matter: "What happened in Beijing?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that this year's New Year, as usual, there are many foreign envoys to participate in the court, in the early years, because of Xie Ying's advice, set up a kiln, fired porcelain, glass and even woven silk and embroidered satin to attract the envoys to rush to buy, the inner library because of this windfall is a lot richer, so Xu Xiu can admonish, advocate not only Kyoto, when the kiln is set up in various places, but not allowed to be sold privately, made of all the tribute, in this way, it can increase the income of the inner treasury." Eleven Niang said what He Zhan had told.

"Xu Xiuneng?" He Ye frowned: "He was calculated, he didn't expect to regain his strength so quickly, if the Queen Mother really made a lot of money because of this, Xu Xiuneng would have a chance to turn over." ”

As he spoke, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was furious, not blaming Eleven Niang for not cutting the grass and eradicating the roots at the beginning, but extremely disgusted with Xu Xiuneng's advice: "If you set up a wide kiln, you will inevitably recruit a large number of craftsmen, or will you give an order?" Where are there so many craftsmen in the state and county, in the end, it will definitely increase the labor of the people! Isn't this indulgence or even acquiescence to the local officials' rejection of the peasant peasants as artisans?! This advice will inevitably lead to the deterioration of land annexation, saying that official kilns are not allowed to be sold privately, and those insatiable assassins and county orders will follow the orders? It is inevitable to squeeze craftsmen in disguise for personal gain! ”

"The Queen Mother has already agreed and appointed Xu Xiuneng to take charge of this matter." Eleven Niang said in a deep voice.

"How can it be!" He Ye was furious.

But he understood that at this time, he was beyond his reach, and the Taiyuan Mansion was in charge of all affairs, and it was already difficult for him to be distracted by the counterattack against the Pan-Liao coalition army, and he had no ability to prevent the implementation of this evil government.

Although there are still He Zhan and even Liu Xinyi and others left in Beijing, Xu Xiuneng's advice is accurate to the Queen Mother's desire to accumulate wealth, Mo said that He Zhan and others are powerless, even if Shi Niang and Lu Li are in Beijing at this time, there is no way to persuade the Queen Mother to give up this suggestion that is beneficial to her.

He Qi has been removed, the King of Shu is depressed, the Son of Heaven is still young, the Pan-Liao coalition army has not been able to attack Jinshuo for a while, the Queen Mother's desire to take sole power has been achieved, she has no need to pay attention to public opinion, not to mention that although this government is inferior, it does not hurt the interests of the nobles, and will not cause the material discussion to boil, on the surface, it is even beneficial to the monarch's finances, whether the common people suffer more is never in the scope of the Queen Mother's consideration.

On this day, although Mrs. Zhen won a small game and Chen Junjun temporarily lost, the atmosphere in the Jin Palace's Mansion was not relaxed and pleasant, He Ye and Shi Niang were not in the mood to talk and laugh, the two were silent for a while, in the end, it was still Shi Niang who proposed one thing, which temporarily distracted He Ye.

"Since Jinyang Chen has been determined to be Mao Wei's party, Chen Fuji, the history of Wenzhou's assassination, cannot be let go, His Royal Highness should arrange a visit to verify his past bad deeds, as long as there is a greedy act, it is to violate the Queen Mother's bottom limit, as long as this is excepted, Jinyang Chen will collapse, although it can't hurt Mao Wei's roots, it is not useless to deter the nobles of Taiyuan."

The princess's words obviously concluded that Chen Fuji must be greedy, and even if he didn't, he would have to commit this crime.

The queen mother doesn't care whether the officials are bullying the people, but this has been tortured by the empty inner treasury, and will definitely not tolerate the officials' greed for "national wealth".
