The person with the highest status above the Xuanling court today is undoubtedly the Taishi Lu Wenhai, who is the only person who can speak up by the emperor's side, and even command the emperor's words and deeds. Even the current emperor Zhu Zhang once joked in front of hundreds of civil and military officials at the banquet, "I am willing to be the pawn of Lu Taishi!"

Although it was a joke, all the officials at that time were shocked, and there were a few people who were able to make this suspicious emperor say such a joke, it is conceivable that Lu Wenhai's status is high in the emperor's heart!

However, fortunately, Lu Wenhai was born and did not care about the dispute between the party and the henchmen in the court, except for giving advice to the emperor, there was no other pursuit, and they were able to share this bowl of porridge for these petty officials.

Under Lu Wenhai is Taifu Ji Ming and Taibao Zhu Xiu, Ji Ming became Taifu completely because of his erudition, since entering the palace, he has been regarded as the emperor, and he is in charge of power among a group of civil officials, and his party is called, Ming Party. It is a powerful henchman in the imperial court.

Zhu Xiu is the most Taibao, but he did not become a military general, although he has also been on a handful of battlefields, but the response is mediocre, and there is nothing worth showing off. became the Taibao purely because his surname is Zhu, a member of the imperial family, and he is the younger brother of today's saint.

But because of this, everyone thinks that he is not worthy of the position, and his Taibao may not be as convincing as one of the four major generals outside, let alone the governor and general above.

But these did not hinder his status in the court, after all, these generals were fighting outside, and he was dominating in the capital, and the two did not contradict each other. No one listens to anyone, and no one cares about anyone.

Zhu Zhang originally wanted to rely on Zhu Xiu to contain Ji Ming, but the result was beyond his expectations, after Zhu Xiu took the throne, he recruited a large group of people to form a Lin Party. not only fought against Ji Ming's Ming Party, but also faintly felt like he wanted to stand on his own because of Zhu Zhang's control.

The Lin Party has always been arrogant and domineering above the court, all of them are angry and high-spirited, and they don't look at people from other parties at all, but they are the most united and xenophobic, and they are the most difficult party to deal with. Several times they have been sharp and aggressive in the court, and there are not a few people with lofty ideals who have died tragically in their mouths.

In particular, Ji Nian, the leader of the Ming Party, is already in high motion, and even if he wants to speak out about these court disputes, he can't bear this body, he can't stand steadily, and he has to sit on a chair to rest if he can't say a few words. For this reason, Emperor Zhu Zhang also specially prepared a set of reclining chairs for him to facilitate his access.

And Zhu Xiu is young and strong, and he has the most words in an early court, which is like a court meeting for him alone.

Zhu Xiu's right-hand man is undoubtedly Yi Chengzhou, Yi Chengzhou is ruthless, and has always been known as Zhu Xiu's poisonous wolf, on the one hand, of course, Zhu Xiu is his master and supports him, and there is a deeper relationship that his sister Yi Lan is one of the favorite concubines of the current emperor.

Yi Lan was born beautiful, especially since she was a child, she has an unforgettable body fragrance, so she also has the reputation of "Concubine Xiangniang", and the favor she received by the emperor's side faintly overwhelms Mrs. Li.

Now in the harem, except for the position of Empress Xiao, no one can shake it, it belongs to Mrs. Li and Concubine Xiangniang's highest status, Empress Xiao has no way after all, she was the existence of establishing the Zhu dynasty little by little with the emperor back then, the credit is unimaginable, and no one in the harem dares to go against Empress Xiao.

But Mrs. Li and Xiangfei Niangniang are different, one is perennially favored but has no dragon son and grandson, and the other is still not pregnant with a dragon son but is still young and long, so the competition between the two now looks like Mrs. Li is still occupying the top, but everyone can see that the rise of Xiangfei Niangniang!

"Bang!" a crisp voice echoed in a large mansion for a long time!

Someone hurried out of the back room, and as he ran, he said, "Oh, my good sister, what's the matter? You don't have to smash my vase every time you come, you see your brother is too poor to put a new vase now!"

"Hmph! It's not Li Zhiyu's slut!" This person is Yi Lan, and Li Zhiyu is Mrs. Li's real name. At this time, Yi Lan's face was angry, although it was angry, but the pretty face did not look ugly at all under this frowning, but there was a feeling that people couldn't help but want to love, the name of Concubine Xiang was really extraordinary!

Yi Lan's bright eyes and teeth lightly bit the cherry mouth, and said again: "Today, the emperor promised to come and pamper me, but he was seduced away by Li Zhiyu's guy halfway, I was really angry!"

Yi Chengzhou hurriedly comforted his sister, "Eh, sister, what are you talking about with that old woman? It's boring, anyway, it's a guy who will fall out of favor sooner or later, put up with her again, and then you won't have to have the final say in this harem!"

Yi Lan felt a little better when she heard this, looked at her younger brother, and pointed at the center of his eyebrows and said: "You also work harder, serve a snack, otherwise your sister will not be angry in the harem and have to worry about this and that, if you are really angry, I will not come to smash your vase, I will go directly to Mrs. Li's boudoir to mess around!"

This sounds like a temper, but with Yi Chengzhou's understanding, his sister is really likely to do such a thing. He hurriedly persuaded: "You can't do this, when Queen Xiao knows your virtue, it will be disliked, and then it will really not be as simple as a Mrs. Li!"

Yi Lan raised her eyebrows, and said contemptuously: "Just her, a guy who is older than Mrs. Li, I don't know how long the emperor hasn't favored her, every time I go, I don't have to come out not long after, I think it's that I don't do that sex anymore, but it's very good! Think about it, a woman whose temples are beginning to turn white, maybe the word Shui Yan doesn't match the side!

Yi Chengzhou was startled when he heard this, and quickly covered Yi Lan's mouth, looked around and whispered: "You can't talk nonsense! Be careful that the wall has ears!"

After that, he took his hand down and said: "After all, she is a queen, no matter how bad her status is, you can't say this kind of thing next time, and if some villains hear it, you may be beheaded at any time!"

Yi Lan still didn't think so, until she saw Yi Chengzhou's serious eyes, she reluctantly said: "Okay, okay, I know!

Yi Chengzhou eased his emotions and said: "Sister, our Yi family has two of us who are okay officials, and whether we can honor our ancestors depends on the two of us!"

If the Yi family hadn't entered the palace early and was selected as a concubine, the Yi family didn't know how many people would have carved up and eaten up, so the two depended on each other and vowed to revive the former glory of the Yi family.

Yi Lan's face softened for the first time, patted Yi Chengzhou's shoulder and said, "I know, your sister and I have never slackened, but you are careful in the officialdom by yourself, don't give people a trick!"

Both of them fell into memories, fell into a beautiful hope for their future life, and their faces were intoxicated, "When the time comes, you will be in charge of the hundred officials and ministers, and I will be in charge of the harem, what else can we not say about this Xuanling?"

——

After Zhu Zhang was called by Mrs. Li today, he stayed in Mrs. Li's boudoir for a whole day, and he didn't leave reluctantly until the next morning, and when he left, he didn't forget to promise Mrs. Li to come back next time!

After Zhu Zhang left, Mrs. Li rushed to Empress Xiao's bedroom non-stop, and her face was unprecedentedly complicated!
