Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 209
"Shu Ziyu was exiled to Lingnan. After this incident, both the elite in the court and the literati among the people felt grateful for the princess."

"More than just gratitude, since the launch of Chunke's new policy, the princess has been involved in everything and dealt with everything. Whether it is the common people or the government and the public, everyone has praised the princess for her administrative orders."

Looking at the officials from various ministries gathered in the hall, Yiman put down his tea cup.

"Everyone."

The hall gradually became quiet, and I glanced around.

"Among you, there are those who have followed me since I was in the palace, and there are also members of the East Palace staff. You should have seen my actions in the past two years. I hope you will help me win the throne."

The hall was quiet, and I glanced around to remember everyone's expressions.

"If someone feels that I am not qualified enough to take over the throne, I will not force him. If he leaves now, I will still treat him with courtesy in the future."

An old minister stood up tremblingly and raised his hands, "May I ask the eldest princess, if the eldest princess seizes the legitimate heir, how will the little emperor's grandson deal with himself?"

With a faint smile, "Master Zheng actually thought of such a long-term matter. He is indeed a thoughtful person. The emperor's grandson is naturally the son of the prince. There is no doubt about this."

Yiman naturally knew that many staff members in the East Palace wanted to ask this question and wanted a guarantee.

It is guaranteed that after she takes over the throne, when the emperor's grandson grows up, the emperor's grandson will succeed him.

But she cannot be constrained by the staff of the East Palace because of this. No matter what her choice is in the future, now, she only needs to be loyal to her loyal ministers.

Seeing two people muttering, Yi Man glanced at him and said, "Master Xu, Master Qin, I understand that you care about the emperor, but since I want to seize the throne, I can't get someone who is half-hearted. If you two have any questions, first Get out."

The eldest princess's resolute and cruel style of conduct has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When they heard this, the two of them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

After waiting for a while, I saw that the eldest princess was still looking at them, and I realized that what the eldest princess said was true.

Gradually, some ministers lowered their heads and walked out dejectedly, until in the end there were still more than 20 people left.

Yiman breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there wouldn't be many people left, but he didn't expect that there were still more than ten East Palace staff members left.

"Princess, if they go out—"

Yiman shook his head with a smile, "Don't they know my ruthless style? Besides, who in the court doesn't know that I want to seize the heir? It's just a secret that everyone knows."

"Then the eldest princess asked Wei Chen to wait today?"

After lowering his eyes and saying nothing, Zhou Yu, dressed in an eighth-grade blue official uniform, like white jade dyed green, walked out from behind the screen and sat on the first reserved seat.

"Everyone, Zhou Yu will join Zhongshu's sect soon and will participate in political affairs together in the future."

He glanced at everyone's expressions and said, "Now, most of the Shangshu Province, except the Ministry of Industry, have been placed under my command. Starting from tomorrow, I will start to arrange personnel changes in each department, please pay more attention."

"Yes."

"Next, let's talk about the content of tomorrow's meeting. Minister Jin, has Mrs. Jin returned to the border?"

Jin Xiao stood up and handed over his hands, "Yes, I guess it should be here in the next two days. I have something to tell the eldest princess. News came from the border. The Tugui Rebellion has not yet subsided. The Shatuo Kingdom has slowly gathered troops and horses at the border. , There seems to be a snipe and a clam competing for the fisherman’s profit.”

"What do you guys think?"

"Shatuo, a small country, dares to tease a tiger's beard?"

"Princess Chengrui, the daughter of Princess Beiling, has already married Shatuo. Does Shatuo want to break the contract?"

Seeing the discussions among the people in the hall, Yiman waved his hand, "Everyone, I think that at this special moment, if Shatuo dares to take advantage of the chaos to attack or add fuel to the fire, in order to protect Princess Chengrui's safety, we should first Take Princess Chengrui back to Daling."

Jin Xiaohan broke into a sweat, "Did the eldest princess mean to start a war with Shatuo?"

"No, I thought the eldest princess wanted to test Shatuo so that the small country could know what was going on."

Yiman nodded with a smile, "Both. Our country, Daling, is so powerful that it should not be shouldered by Princess Cheng Rui. If Shatuo writes a letter to ask questions, we can question Shatuo about his mobilization of troops. If Shatuo ignores it, we will also have it. The reason for sending troops is to welcome back Princess Chengrui. Shatuo is always a hidden danger, so it is better to take this opportunity to destroy it directly." "But what if Tugui makes a sneak attack? Tugui has strong troops and a vast territory, not Shatuo. Tuo Kebi."

"As you all said just now, Shatuo is a small country with no more than a hundred thousand troops, and they are scattered everywhere. The Jin family's army is brave and good at fighting. I also asked Mrs. Jin that only half of the Jin family's army can wipe out Shatuo. I don't know if your Majesty was there at that time. Is it possible that lard has deceived you, and you actually agreed to get married?"

There was silence in the hall, and Zhou Yu said silently, "Your Majesty will definitely not agree to mobilize the Jin family's army."

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "That's why I want to mention it to you today. Later, the Ministry of Rites will send a letter to Princess Beiling, asking her to write a letter home to Princess Chengrui. The princess knows someone who can take Princess Chengrui back. If possible, we will definitely cooperate. All that remains is to see Shatuo’s reaction. If His Majesty does not agree by then, it will be difficult to discuss border matters."

"Yes, I understand."

At the court meeting the next day, the Ministry of War reported the movements of Shatuo and Tugui on the border.

The emperor looked at the ministers below, and his eyes finally fell on Yiman.

"Princess, you have returned unexpectedly and still refuse to retreat. Shatuo is waiting for the opportunity. What do you think?"

Yiman came out of the queue and handed over his hand, "I am willing to lead the troops to fight, repel the sudden return, and destroy Shatuo."

The emperor smiled and said, "What a loud tone, what do the ministers think?"

There was silence in the palace, and the emperor's face became increasingly gloomy.

Suddenly, Tong Xiao, a minister from under the family, came out and handed her over, "Princess Chengrui has already made a marriage to Shatuo. I think Shatuo is not a worry and will definitely take into account the in-law etiquette. As for the sudden return, I think a marriage can also be used to stop the war."

The emperor glanced at Yiman and said, "Then who do you think is suitable for marriage?"

"Sugui can be considered a big country, and the eldest princess is your majesty's legitimate princess, which is enough to highlight the importance that I, Daling, attach to you."

"Your Majesty, no, the eldest princess is not an ordinary clan daughter."

"Yes, the eldest princess still has many government affairs in her hands, so she cannot leave the court rashly."

"The eldest princess implements the new Chunke policy for Daling."

When he heard that half of the officials in the court came out to object, they lowered their eyes with a smile on their lips.

The emperor looked at Yiman with an ugly face, "What do you think, the eldest princess?"

Yiman walked out of the queue with a calm smile and said, "I obey your Majesty's arrangements. Whether it is leading troops to the border or going to the border as a bride, I will obey your Majesty's orders."

Seeing Yiman's promise of victory, the emperor hesitated.

Looking at the eager faces of the ministers in the palace and the calm face of the eldest princess, the emperor frowned and glanced at Eunuch Fu.

"Retreat—"

The ministers gradually exited the Hanyuan Palace, and Chu Nan couldn't help lowering his voice and asking, "Princess, why did you agree to the marriage?"

"Of course I don't want to get married, but I can't bear the temptation of some villain. But it doesn't matter. As long as Your Majesty dares to let me go to get married or leave the capital, I will rebel."

Yiman looked at the young master in front of him, paused in his steps, and chuckled.

"Hey, princess, are you trying to kill Wei Chen? Wei Chen didn't hear anything."

Yiman watched the ministers who passed by her trot away quickly, the smile on her lips getting bigger and bigger.

These words were not only addressed to the man named Tong, but also sent as a message to the emperor.

Now everyone knew that she was competing for the crown prince position, and the emperor began to deliberately suppress her.If her marriage can still be regarded as a weakness now, all the hard work for so long will be in vain.

She held the Gao Yang Army and the Jin Family Army in her hands, as well as the Jin Family Army's reputation in the border areas, which was enough to make the emperor dare not let her leave the capital.
