The eldest princess of Nankang took a bath under the shower head and did not touch the bathtub belonging to Yuan Zhi.
What her uncle said to her flashed through her mind.
Outsiders regarded Yu Zhongshu as a tiger, but she knew that her uncle was actually not a bad person, just a bit grumpy.
If she were a normal relative, she would have to strictly interfere with the eldest princess's marriage, using this as a bargaining chip to further consolidate her influence. However, Yu Yuangui talked to her today and privately allowed her to choose her favorite husband.
"As long as he is not a man from a family with the fifth surname, and he comes from a clean family, it will be fine." This is what my uncle said this afternoon.
The so-called "innocent origin" means that in the family network, there must not be anyone who has ever rebelled or surrendered to the enemy. Jinyang's younger brother is obviously not included in this list, because his mother was once a demon, and she also unilaterally terminated the relationship with the royal family.
cooperate.
In other words, my uncle actually saw my private contact with Cheng Jinyang this afternoon, so he hurriedly reminded me.
I'm sorry, uncle! I have to make my own decision about my marriage!
Her eyes passed through the rising steam and fell on the tiled wall of the bathroom.
A strange picture emerged in my mind:
On the way to the wedding venue, in the wedding car, Jinyang's brother, wearing the groom's dress, leaned gently on his chest.
Suddenly there was a series of explosions outside.
Xing Yunzhi, Wang Wanrou, Chu Qingqing...the eldest ladies from the aristocratic families came to steal the marriage! The eldest princess of Luling, her own sister, was working hard to block the attacks of these people on behalf of her sister and brother-in-law.
And he hugged Jinyang's brother, gave them a provocative and proud smile from behind the car window, and then continued to move towards the wedding venue.
"Jinyang, don't abandon me, Jinyang! Wuwuwuwu..."
"Get out of here! Luling, you die!"
"Nankang! I will kill you! Did you hear that? Take away my Jinyang and I will kill you!!!"
Sister Xinnan, who was taking a bath, couldn't help but reveal an intoxicating smile.
Oh, by the way, it seems like there is no boy I like in Luling yet.
Do you want to introduce her to the wonderful things about Jinyang’s younger brother?
So there are more strange pictures in my mind:
"Sister, why are you trying to rob me?" Princess Luling, whose eyes had lost their luster, looked at her with a blank expression, "Didn't you agree that you would give me everything I like?"
"I'm sorry, Luling." The eldest princess of Nankang put a sad smile on her face and held Jinyang's younger brother in her arms, "This is the only one that is not allowed."
…
After taking a bath, the eldest princess of Nankang took a bath towel and slowly dried her body, still imagining more pictures in her mind.
For some reason, if other women naturally have exclusive desires for the men they like, then she seems to be deficient in this aspect.
However, she has extremely strong interest and fighting spirit in how to stand out among the sisters and occupy as much time as possible.
Defeat them! Then... bully them!
When she left the bathroom, she saw Cheng Jinyang sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the computer she had brought.
"Jinyang, have you read the information inside?"
"Not yet." Cheng Jinyang was vague. He couldn't say, "I was completely distracted just now." He could only say with an embarrassed smile, "Something happened just now..."
"Okay." The eldest princess of Nankang opened her bathrobe and climbed into bed.
Cheng Jinyang:???
Where did your silk pajamas come from?
Wow, Sister Xinnan, you really came prepared!!!
"Let me tell you briefly." Princess Nankang sat next to him and put the computer on her lap. "Come closer."
"Um."
Cheng Jinyang followed the instructions and approached, and then...
Being hugged by Sister Xinnan???
"It's easier to see this way." The eldest princess of Nankang also turned a little red, but she came here tonight with the determination to win over the opponent (for this reason, she also put on the winning pajamas), so in addition to the last step, she must
Except for giving after marriage, all other reservations are basically let go.
"First of all, the rebellion of Longxiang Army has been completely put down, and the imperial court is sending Tao Shixing to control Jingzhou. In the next few years, there will basically be no major wars in the west."
"The next problem is internal and the north. Internal refers to the fact that my father passed away too suddenly and my brother was too young, which caused the imperial authority to be severely weakened. My uncle is now using thunderbolt tactics everywhere and rectifying the administration.
It is also to intimidate other towns, and also to make up for the shortcomings in this aspect..."
Cheng Jinyang, who was immersed in Dabairuan and couldn't extricate himself, suddenly remembered what the emperor said to him when he called him to Taicheng that day for no reason:
"... Once the political order is unstable, competition will arise, and countless careerists will eye my position. They will launch wars and involve almost everyone. The winner will work hard to get the position, and then be replaced by the new one.
Competitors overthrow until someone integrates most of the strength, gains absolute advantage, and establishes a new political order. But before that, such turmoil will last for a long time..."
Combining Sister Xinnan's narrative, Cheng Jinyang discovered that the current political situation was indeed exactly what the emperor had expected.
The rebellion of the Longxiang Army made countless people see clearly the fragile situation inside the empire that was riddled with holes; the death of the emperor and the ascension of the young emperor also made the chaotic domestic situation even worse.
Just as the emperor said, countless conspirators have begun to emerge.
One is the clan hawks represented by Sima Yanzuo. They were able to suppress these people during the emperor's lifetime, but now that Yu Yuangui came to power, they have been unable to restrain themselves and rebelled. Therefore, Master Zhongshu has recently killed a wave of people.
The reason why I came to participate in the Qinghe Cui family's snow viewing activity was to communicate with the five surname families. The reason for attacking these clans was because they had evil intentions and had no intention of expanding the attack area to target the gentry.
Of course, most of the nobles suffered heavy losses in the previous rebellion of the Longxiang Army, especially the fifth-grade aristocratic families who accounted for the majority of the nobles. It would indeed be unjustifiable for Yu Yuangui to take the opportunity to be more aggressive.
The second one is Su Zigao who is far away in Liyang.
After the imperial court moved southward, he was left to the north of the Yangtze River to guard the gate. As a price for withstanding the positive pressure from demons, the empire's upper echelons also gave him many conveniences, such as allowing him to recruit refugees to expand his army on his own, and to go north without the permission of the imperial court.
raiding, and retaining the technology obtained from raiding the Central Plains, etc.
Of course, these are helpless actions. After all, they are isolated in the north of the Yangtze River and have established their own vassal town. Even if you don't allow them to expand the army, raid and plunder, they can still do it secretly, and it is easy to alienate the court.
Facts have proved that these policies did achieve certain results at first. During the reign of the late emperor, Su Zigao always maintained a meek and submissive attitude and continued to transport refugee resources to Jiangnan.
When Wang Chuzhong rebelled, this general also responded to the court's call and led the civilian army south to aid Jiankang. Wang Chuzhong once sent someone to persuade Su Zigao, "After the Wang family in Taiyuan seizes the throne, they can enjoy wealth and honor." Su Zigao was not
Hearing this, Wang Chuzhong was forced to drag his sick body away and secretly led his troops into Jiankang, intending to take a risk before the refugee army arrived in Jiankang.
As a result, he collided head-on with the Gundam pilot... and everyone knows what happened next.
Therefore, at least in the eyes of most of the outside world's gentry, Su Zigao did not seem to have any intention of rebellion.
However, Yu Yuangui, who had more information, did not think so. For example, when he was clearing out Sima Yanzuo's rebellion, it was discovered that he had some connection with Su Zigao of Jiangbei, and this matter seemed to have been related to the Cheng family in the divine capital in the early years.

Cheng Jinyang:???
Hearing this, he trembled suddenly and climbed up from the arms of the princess sister.
I am the clan leader of the Cheng clan in the capital city of God. How come I didn’t know that my clan is connected with the rebels?
