Although the emperor has long wanted to cut off these two thorns in his eyes, but now he is also more than willing to do it.

The current imperial court is a strong outsider, and in addition to thousands of Jinyi guards, there is almost no one available except for the East Factory.

Although the power of the government is still in his hands, it has actually been divided and infiltrated by the three kings, the crown prince controls the government affairs, and the civil departments such as the household department are in his hands, while the king of Zhao controls the defense of Gyeonggi, and the king of Han is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the official worships the general. The general's mansion under his command is connected to the Juxian Hall, and there are countless talented and righteous people under him. In general, most of the military power in the court was in the hands of the Han king.

And Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the only weapons that the emperor can balance the three kings, if Jinyiwei and Dongchang are dispatched, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to force the palace.

This is also the reason why the emperor is so laissez-faire to Murong Zheng, if Murong Zheng makes a big fuss outside, the pressure on the capital will be much less, for example, the people who are hostile to him now are not only Lou Yun, but also the King of Han.

Although King Han and him don't have much intersection, Murong Zheng has made great contributions before, in the eyes of King Han, he is not a little white face who can only play tricks, but a person with real skills and hard work. And such people are very dangerous.

And he is different from Lou Yun, although the King of Han is a brave and rough man, it does not mean that he is really a reckless man, he can see that Lou Yun has no ambition, and even no desire for power, but Murong Zheng is different, he can see from Murong Zheng's eyes that he is ambitious, maybe he has no ambition to be the emperor, but coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes Maybe this is what he wants.

The emperor also got some news, he didn't want Lou Yun and Murong Zheng to have a direct conflict, so that the emperor's calculation would be completely frustrated.

So this is also one of the reasons why the emperor did not meet him this time, he did not get the emperor's reception, and Lou Yun and Guo Yang had no way, after all, the two of them were just people from the rivers and lakes, and they could not enter the palace to see the emperor casually without a serious official position.

Even Guo Ye can't, Guo Ye just has a title, not an official title, and the title is generally a symbol of honor and treatment in this era, and does not represent rights.

And Guo Ye is just a first-class marquis, although the first-class marquis can wear a dragon, it doesn't mean that he can casually enter the palace to face the saint. Moreover, although the title of first-class marquis is already great in the eyes of the people, it is actually not very big.

Now there are hundreds of princes in the court, some are princes with names, such as King Ning, King Zhao, King Han and others, and there are county kings with titles.

And the duke's people, although there are not many in the court, but there are also a lot, there are dozens of people, the duke is relatively rare, but the county duke, the county duke is not a few.

Wang, Gong, Hou, Uncle, Son, and Male Sixth-Class Titles, Guo Ye is only a third-class first-class Marquis.

Although the number of first-class marquis is not large, it does not have much effect.

Unless there is an official position, and those who can face the king must be above the third grade. The third-grade ones also need to be summoned by the emperor, while the second-grade ones will not be stopped at the palace gate, but they will also wait for the emperor's summons in the court room or the imperial study.

Although Guo Yang is the leader of the Zhongzhou League and enjoys the official treatment of the second-rank governor, he does not have the qualifications to directly enter the palace to face the monarch, so he can only hand the fold to Zhongshu Province first, and then wait for the emperor's summons.

Faced with the emperor's avoidance, Guo Yang and Lou Yun could only stare at each other with big eyes, if Zhu Yunchang was still in the capital, maybe he could ask him to bring a sentence, but now Zhu Yunchang is gone, and the emperor's eldest grandson, Lou Yun is not willing to beg him.

Of course, he didn't want to beg him, naturally it was for Nangong Li, and he also noticed that the emperor's eldest grandson didn't look right when he looked at Nangong Li, Lou Yun felt what it was like to be jealous for the first time, but Nangong Li also avoided Zhu Zhanji for Lou Yun.

Although she missed the opportunity to be the queen, she did not regret it, because all she loved was Lou Yun, and the rest was not very important to her, she herself was also a person with no desire for power, and she longed for a quiet and comfortable rural life. The restraints of the deep palace may drive her crazy.

But there is still a turn for the better, this is Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun has been waiting for the emperor since Lou Yun's accident, she believes that the emperor must know something, because the emperor is very abnormal, if it is usual, if this kind of thing happens, the emperor has already moved the head of the official in charge of security.

And this time, he basically ignored this matter, and the relevant responsible person was only suspended at home, and there was no other punishment.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, so Concubine Yun concluded that the emperor must know everything behind the scenes.

It's a pity that the emperor's mouth is very strict these days, and Concubine Yun also knows the emperor's character, so he can't ask more about what he doesn't want to say. Fortunately, she didn't ask, but stayed by his side silently.

Always looking for opportunities to knock on the side and ask about something.

But this time, she inadvertently saw Guo Yang's twists and turns.

Of course she knew who Guo Yang was, Guo Yang was a well-known predecessor in the martial arts when she was a poisonous jade girl before she entered the palace. And she had a few relationships with Guo Yang at that time, but unfortunately Guo Yang would never have thought that the imperial concubine in the harem of power is the girl who walked by his side.

And she also heard Lou Yun talk about his relationship with Guo Yang, and she also knew that Guo Yang was Lou Yun's cousin's father-in-law. The elders who have been taking care of Lou Yun after the Peacock Villa incident.

And Guo Yang's recital is here, which inevitably makes her curious, with the company of more than 20 years, Concubine Yun already knows the emperor very well.

Concubine Yun just stood aside silently, and then kept staring at the letter, but she didn't say a word.

The emperor noticed her expression, and naturally knew what she meant.

The emperor picked it up from the desk, then handed it to Concubine Yun and said, "Take it and take a look." ”

Concubine Yun took it and looked at it, and she also understood what was going on, but she didn't know the emperor's concerns. But you can guess a few points from it.

Concubine Yun asked, "Then what is the emperor's plan?"

The emperor put down the pen, and Concubine Yun walked behind him and rubbed his shoulders for him.

The emperor leaned back on the dragon chair, and he said, "I haven't decided yet, I don't know what to do. The succession of the Zhongzhou League is imperative, and if the succession is successful, then I must remove the constraints on the Zhongzhou League, and even support him with all my might. ”

Concubine Yun asked softly, "Does the emperor still have any doubts?" or don't believe in Xiaoyun's ability?"

The emperor smiled and said: "How can I not believe in the ability of my 'son', Aifei, do you say yes, Aifei should also have confidence in her 'son'." ”
