After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 7 Fairy Tale
At night, Jingshou Palace.

Ye Qinghuai was wearing only a middle coat and a black satin robe over it. She was sitting on the edge, looking at the imperial edict in her hand in a daze.

She had been like this for an hour.

Fortunately, it was late at night, Aunt Fanghua and Li Baoquan had already fallen asleep, only a few young eunuchs were left guarding outside the hall.If Aunt Fanghua and Li Baoquan are here, she needs to whisper in her ear some words about taking care of the dragon body.

The edict in her hand was drafted by Gu Shihai in Dali Temple, and it was delivered by the cabinet in the afternoon.It said Wang Lisong's crimes and the results of the trial of the three divisions. Only one seal of the emperor was needed to announce the decision of Wang Lisong's dismissal to exile.

She has to get this seal.Even though she knew how absurd this trial of the three divisions was.

Although Ye Qinghuai has never been interested in state affairs, she was born in the royal family and grew up in the royal family after all. Ten years of immersion has cultivated her keen political sense, and her growth experience of disguised as a man has cultivated her cautious temperament.

The current court situation is very different from what she thought, and what's more frightening is that she doesn't even know how deep this pool is.

But the situation will only be more difficult than she can imagine.Gu Shihai was able to play tricks in front of her and all the courtiers, which showed that the surname of this court was not Ye, but Gu.

Maybe there are still a few loyal and outspoken people in the court, but under the current situation, they can't speak out, and Ye Qinghuai is unwilling to let them stand up and speak out at this time.They stood up at this time, but it was just adding a few "Li Wenqing".

Gu Shihai's reputation in the court was established during the Renshen Rebellion.

During the Renshen Rebellion, the commander of the imperial army was instigated by the eldest prince to launch a palace coup. The prince mobilized the nine guards of Gyeonggi to enter the palace to suppress the rebellion in the name of protecting the emperor.However, what the old emperor never expected was that the prince did not come to the side of the Qing emperor. The prince who had wiped out the rebel army turned around and pointed the blood-stained sword in his hand at his father on the throne.

If it wasn't for Gu Shihai, who was the Minister of Criminal Affairs at the time, leading dozens of patrolling officers from the Criminal Investigation Department to fight to the death to protect the emperor, Emperor Shunping would have died by his son's sword long ago.

Gu Shihai has become famous since then.

I heard that the sunset was stained with blood on that day, Gu Shihai, who was over [-] years old, stood outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a long knife in his hand. He was hit by several arrows and covered in blood, but he stood like a god of war.He had no fear in the face of an enemy ten times his size, and shouted: "Gu Shihai, Flying Eagle's Nest General, is here. If the snakes and rats dare to advance an inch, they will be decapitated!" .

After the Renshen Rebellion, Emperor Shunping was grateful for Gu Shihai's meritorious service in escorting him, and he appreciated and relied heavily on him. In just one year, he handed over the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War to him, and even appointed him as the official on the occasion of his funeral. The auxiliary minister helped protect the young emperor.

Gu Shihai's speed of promotion can be said to be as fast as one step, and no one can match it in the 200-year history of Dajing.

As for this second assistant, Ye Qinghuai has always trusted and admired him a lot.On the one hand, it is because of the father's approval and entrustment.On the other hand, it is because Gu Shihai's heroic spirit of "Thousands of people, I will go" during the Renshen Rebellion is really embarrassing. Although Ye Qinghuai is his daughter's family, he can't help but be impressed by his courage. .

Therefore, to this day, she still can't figure out how the great hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness in the past turned into a treacherous thief.

"Is power really so terrible?" Ye Qinghuai couldn't help muttering to himself.

Ye Qinghuai remembered that before the death of Emperor Shunping, he had warned her that courtiers were like bowstrings, no matter how easy they were used, they had to be replaced after a long time.Because power will corrode people's hearts and make people's hearts loose.

She looked at the imperial edict in her hand, every stroke of the edict was written by Gu Shihai, with iron and silver hooks, strong and powerful, it can be seen that it was written by a martial artist.Has Gu Shihai's heart really become relaxed?

she does not know.

Ye Qinghuai closed the imperial edict, got up and put it on the desk.She wasn't planning on stamping, at least not today.

She is not reconciled, not reconciled to just bowing her head and retreating timidly, being a puppet in the hands of a powerful minister, and retreating to this square inch of the harem for the rest of her life.She wanted to give herself another chance and give the court a chance to change.

She wanted to find Wang Lisong, no matter whether she lived or died, as long as she could find him before this edict was issued, then everything would be possible.

But how easy is it?Wang Lisong is the crux of everything, and Gu Shihai will definitely lock him up in the most secret place.With Ye Qinghuai's own strength, even if he digs three feet into the ground, it may be difficult to find any traces.

She needs hands.

But after all, she has only just been in charge of the government, and most of the officials in the court are veterans left behind by her father, and there are no close officials of her own.Not to mention the former dynasty, even in the harem, there are very few people she can trust.

There are too few chess pieces in her hands.Ye Qinghuai was a little annoyed.In vain, she has been in power for two years, but she has wasted her time and made no achievements. She also thinks that the government and the public are peaceful, and it is a situation of mutual trust between the monarch and his ministers.In fact, she is just a pet kept in the palace, and what she sees and hears are all fairy tales deliberately woven for her by others.

That's right, if the people in the court are really loyal to the emperor, and the emperor and his ministers are of one mind, how could the great scene die so easily?

It's just that she always focused on Lu Yanchen, hating him with all her heart, thinking that he was dead, so that she didn't even notice how many hidden dangers there were in the court.

If the Dajing government is clear and bright, and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, why fear the rebels?

She remembered that in her previous life, before she died, she had persistently wanted to ask Lu Yanchen that in his heart, she was really as dizzy as he wrote in his essay.And Lu Yanchen's answer was still in his ears.

"Since ancient times, there have only been overthrown faint kings, but no overthrown wise kings."

Perhaps, in Lu Yanchen's eyes, he at that time was really a fool who could not distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

Thinking of this, a somewhat absurd guess arose in Ye Qinghuai's heart: If Lu Yanchen's words were true, and he really had high hopes for her as the emperor, then the reason why he rebelled later was because he saw her incompetent , so she was so disappointed that she had to force the palace to abdicate her, right?

This idea just passed by in a flash, but was denied by Ye Qinghuai.What a big deal the rebellion is, how could it be for such a ridiculous reason?
Thinking of the reason for Lu Yanchen's rebellion, Ye Qinghuai quickly thought of another thing.

Gu Shihai in the previous life also died at the hands of Lu Yanchen. It can even be said that Gu Shihai was the fuse of Lu Yanchen's uprising.

In the previous life, after Lu Yanchen returned to his hometown Ding You, the identity of Ye Qinghuai's woman was revealed. Not long after that, news came from Yunzhou that Gu Shihai's eldest son was attacked during a routine inspection in Yunzhou. It was Lu Yanchen from Dingyou in Yunzhou.

Lu Yanchen killed the official of the imperial court, and he died anyway, so he simply raised the flag of rebellion.Because of the loss of his beloved son, Gu Shihai hated him deeply, so he volunteered several times, but was stopped by the courtiers taking the overall situation into consideration.However, in the end, when Lu Yanchen reached the city of Shengjing, Gu Shihai fought hard and did not surrender, so he still died in Lu Yanchen's hands.

When Ye Qinghuai saw the report sent by Yunzhou back then, Ye Qinghuai was as shocked as he was during the interrogation today.She couldn't imagine the elegant and refined Lu Yanchen holding a knife. Not only did he take the knife, but he also killed more than a dozen people in one go, and the one who killed was the eldest son of the second minister.

What made a learned man with no strength to restrain a chicken raise a knife and commit murder?

Ye Qinghuai didn't know.

But she knew that Lu Yanchen was definitely not on the same boat as Gu Shihai.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.Regarding Gu Shihai's matter, Lu Yanchen might be available.

Ye Qinghuai decided to test Lu Yanchen.
