Bao Zheng and Di Renjie actually didn't stay in Yuhuang Pavilion for too long. After all, Huang Shang said that Hu Hai only had half an hour, which meant that it was only an hour. No matter whether Hu Hai lived or died in the end, they should
On site.
However, the two people's thoughts are a bit complicated now. In fact, they have no preference for men or women as emperors. At their level, everyone understands that what is best for the country is the best. But they know those things very well.
This is true for ministers, or not only the ministers of Great Qin, but ministers of all countries. What is beneficial to themselves is the most important, even if it will harm the interests of the country to a certain extent.
Sometimes, the difference between a loyal minister and a traitor lies in whose interests are given priority!
Therefore, the two of them are almost certain that as soon as Hu Hai dies, a turmoil will inevitably spread to the entire government and opposition parties.
In the palace, Jiang Yufeng has almost no suspense because of Cao Zhengchun's presence, but it will be very troublesome in terms of government affairs.
Most of the civil servants in this palace have the ability to find trouble overtly or covertly. We really can't defeat you, but we can cause trouble for you in political affairs, so that your decrees cannot be well circulated in the world and your authority
Being suppressed little by little will make your reputation become bad little by little, even to the point of being criticized.
There have been many reforms in the history of the Earth next door, but few have been truly successful. The fundamental reason lies in whether the emperor can withstand these pressures.
The new emperor has not been born yet, so can Jiang Yufeng withstand it?
Di Renjie and Bao Zheng both had question marks in their minds. Of course, Jiang Yufeng was not stupid to participate in the imperial examination. If it were just the emperor himself, the reform would not be successful. Although what Jiang Yufeng wanted to do was not a reform, it was
Similar to that, what she needed was to unite all the forces that could be united, so this meeting was held.
Of course, if Di Renjie and Bao Zheng sincerely help her, Jiang Yufeng can become the Queen Mother, and the power of Great Qin will also fall into her hands in the future. But the real test will be in the days to come!
One month before the birth of the new emperor, the entire Qin Dynasty was in turmoil. They could temporarily suppress it within the imperial court, but the military was a little more troublesome. But that's not to say it couldn't be done. At least Di Renjie had a way to try.
But the greater test will come after the birth of the new emperor. You must know that a child born with merit and luck will inevitably be accompanied by visions of heaven and earth. This kind of thing cannot be stopped. By then, I am afraid that all the forces in the world will
I won't sit back and watch. After all, an emperor who can be accompanied by visions of heaven and earth has appeared. What does that mean?
I'm afraid most people will think that this child will be the hero who unifies the world in the future, so how will they mess around in the future? Therefore, the period before this child can deal with the business will be the most difficult period, not only the assassination will not
There will definitely be no shortage of targets even at various national levels.
How difficult it is!
Thinking of this, Di Renjie rubbed his temples in embarrassment, "You are born to be a hard worker!"
Di Renjie's sigh made the waiting ministers feel strange. Wang Anshi came over and bowed slightly to the two of them. His voice was not very loud, and asked Bao Zheng: "Have Gong Bao and Di Gong made a decision?"
Of course they knew what the other party meant. They were simply asking who they would support if Hu Hai really died.
Bao Zheng looked at Wang Anshi dumbfounded, feeling that this guy was too upright, and he was obviously pushed out to stir up trouble.
It is estimated that the relatives of the imperial concubine are most worried about this matter, but they are restraining each other, and no one can take the initiative to ask first, as if they have some covetousness for the throne. This may cause everyone to besieged.
However, Wang Anshi's question made Di Renjie feel a lot calmer. Cao Zhengchun had already eliminated all the forces around the imperial concubine in the palace. The courtiers were suppressed by them, and the military would also have methods later. In this way, the general trend is mine, and it seems that there is no need.
What kind of intrigue is this?
Bao Zheng's face straightened, "We'll wait for the decision..."
"Your Majesty is here!"
A rather sharp voice came, interrupting Bao Zheng's words. Everyone looked around and saw Jiang Yufeng walking slowly with the support of Cao Zhengchun. Although her movements were slow, she was not as lazy as before.
, full of energy, like a sharp sword hidden in his eyes.
"I've met my empress."
"My lords...are you waiting?"
Jiang Yufeng's words made all the courtiers quite embarrassed. Although everyone knew this, it was too outrageous for you to say it like this!
Jiang Yufeng smiled, with a hint of comfort in his maturity, "You are all important ministers of the court and the pillars of the country. You are concerned about the affairs of the country, and you can learn from your loyalty!"
"Your Majesty, you praise me so much!"
The ministers responded almost subconsciously, but they felt a little awkward as soon as they were spoken. These words were not wrong in themselves, but... did they feel a bit excessive for her to say?
The smile on Jiang Yufeng's face seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, and she nodded to everyone without saying that she was special to anyone, as if he had not summoned Bao Zheng and Di Renjie just now.
Cao Zhengchun supported Jiang Yufeng and walked forward little by little, as if he was about to enter the main hall to see Hu Hai.
Many of the officials wanted to stop them, but before they could speak, Di Renjie glared back.
"You watch here while I go solve the military's problems."
"good."
Di Renjie and Bao Zheng discussed it as if no one else was around, and then left the palace without paying attention to everyone.
"Uh, Mr. Bao, may I ask Mr. Di what this is..."
Bao Zheng shook his head and turned away from his usual seriousness. He glanced at the past mysteriously, "It's better that you don't know."
"..."
…
Jiang Yufeng finally entered the palace. Several Sunflower eunuchs stopped her along the way, but they were all turned away by Cao Zhengchun's looks.
From a distance, Hu Hai looked at Jiang Yufeng with a bulging belly and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine is not feeling well, why did she come here?"
"I heard that Your Majesty is in danger, how can you stay still?"
"Haha, who doesn't want to live like this? Tell me, I will chop him up!"
"Your Majesty is seriously injured now. You can't be so angry. It will hurt your body!"
Hu Hai's smile seemed to be frozen on his face. It didn't change at all. It was somewhere between a skinny smile and a fleshy smile. "It hurts your body? It doesn't matter. It's just... sad!"
Jiang Yufeng glanced at the empty hole in his chest and said, "Wuxin, how to hurt it?"
Hu Hai's smile instantly faded, "Yes, some people just have no heart!"
"Your Majesty, are you talking about my concubine? Your Majesty should understand my concubine's heart. After all, you have conceived the child. Isn't that sincere enough?"
"If he is sincere, why didn't Cao Zhengchun go to Bai Qi? Could it be that he couldn't find my elder brother? I remember that the secret agent had already reported this matter, and my elder brother didn't hide anything to make me feel at ease!"
Cao Zhengchun looked indifferent, "I don't want to go, that's all."
"I don't want to go! You are so brave. Are you going to rebel?"
Cao Zhengchun's eyebrows rose slightly. In the past, he always felt that he was inferior. Whether it was because of his status as a refugee, or because of his flaws as a eunuch, or because he had been accustomed to bowing his head after being under the shelter of others for a long time.
Maybe, sometimes even he himself has become numb. But the most despairing thing in the world is not that he has been in darkness all the time, but that he has seen the light before.
This light is Li Yuanfang!
When they first met, Li Yuanfang was just a small pioneer in the frontier army, and the charge of the Jiannan Army's rebellion had not even been cleared. He relied on his innate strength to save the prince-in-law along the way, broke into the Western Regions, and made great military exploits.
At that time, he actually didn't care too much about Li Yuanfang, he just communicated with others with a good attitude, but Li Yuanfang seemed to recognize that he was not a thing in the pool.
Speaking of which, until now, Cao Zhengchun has never thought about where the other party's confidence comes from, and he doesn't even have it himself.
Of course, these are not too important. Although Cao Zhengchun is young, he has been a eunuch for many years. He has seen many people who have done meritorious service, not to mention those who have saved the consort, and even those who have saved the prince. But even if those people have done
Official, there may not be any development prospects in the future.
What really shocked him was that Li Yuanfang attacked Emperor Qin in the court for a woman!
Yes, now he knows that Emperor Qin was Hu Hai who once pretended to be, but no one knew it at that time. In everyone's hearts, Emperor Qin is the most precious person in the world. He, a person who is not even innately perfect, actually contradicts him.
He killed Emperor Qin and took Princess Qingping away from the court.
Even to this day, he still doesn't know what confidence Li Yuanfang had at that time, but this does not affect the admiration in his heart.
Those literati talk about character and uprightness all day long, but who of them has always insisted on walking on the right path?
Well, if the whole dynasty is calculated, even Di Renjie and Bao Zheng will consider some impacts when doing things, let alone other ministers.
By the way, Prince Consort Xiao might be considered one, but he couldn't change it, so he stopped serving as an official after returning from Jiannan Road, and he and the princess lived a life without fighting against the world.
The only one who has just gone up is Li Yuanfang!
He admires, he envy, and he also wants to have dignity like him one day!
So he kept getting stronger and working hard, and this dignity was gradually recovered, from the palace maids, from the chamberlains, from the ministers, from... But he had already been promoted to the list of people, but
He was not able to get even the slightest attention from Hu Hai.
For a while, he had doubts about himself. Is it pointless to constantly improve himself? Is blood related to whether a person is noble? Otherwise, why can a fool look down on himself so much?
Then, Jiang Yufeng asked him a question, and he became the talented Cao Zhengchun he is today.
Jiang Yufeng asked him, "Cao Zhengchun, are you willing to assist me?"
Assistance, she said assistance!
Not loyalty, not service, but assistance!
Maybe Jiang Yufeng is still surprised. At that time, he answered very simply, as if he had been waiting for someone to ask this question for a long time...
