"You mean, the queen blew the pillow wind?"

"That's why Song Gongwen was promoted to seven levels in a row and entered the cabinet?"

After Zhao Lingying heard this, she immediately continued: "Although I have not met the Queen a few times, I have heard of her reputation and I think she would not do such a thing."

Generally speaking, if there is no special relationship between the queen and the concubine, they are equal to natural enemies.

Especially now that there are only two people in the harem.

He will definitely try every means to fight for favor.

But Zhao Lingying was very arrogant and totally disdainful of doing such a thing.

At the same time, Queen Song Youwei is famous throughout the capital for her virtuousness.

So she concluded that the other party would definitely not do such a thing. Besides, His Majesty and the Queen had no basis for feelings.

Even if the wind blows from my pillow, I'm afraid it won't blow.

Besides, the position of bachelor in the cabinet.

Where can I ask for it in just one or two sentences?

"But Your Majesty, why did you suddenly promote Mr. Song?" Cuiguo still didn't understand. No queen spoke up. Song Gongwen was only a fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing. There were so many capable ministers in the court. How could he hold the position of a bachelor in the cabinet?

It's not his turn either.

"You don't understand, this is your majesty's brilliance." Zhao Lingying said with a smile: "Nowadays, the high officials of the imperial court are basically the team left by the late emperor."

"Although there are no major problems, there are no people from His Majesty among them, especially the cabinet, which is all headed by Zhang Zhengming."

"I admit that Zhang Zhengming is indeed a famous minister in the world and extremely capable, but his power is too great and his prestige is too high."

"But such a person can easily threaten the imperial power. This is something no king wants to see."

"And Song Gongwen is the head of the country and has a special status. He can suppress Zhang Zhengming by entering the cabinet."

"In the imperial court, if Your Majesty wants to hold great power, he must have his own people."

Zhao Lingying continued: "And there is a more important point, that is, His Majesty promoted Song Gongwen, perhaps to balance the power of his relatives."

Balancing the power of relatives? Wouldn’t that be...

Cui Guo couldn't help but said: "Could it be that the influence of the imperial relatives is my Shenwu Marquis Mansion?"

Today in the Wei Dynasty, no one from the Sun family to which the Queen Mother belongs is an official in the court.

Therefore, the only foreign relatives are the Song family and the Zhao family of Shenwuhou Mansion.

"Of course." Zhao Lingying replied: "My Zhao family has made meritorious deeds for generations and contributed to the founding of the country. Our prestige in the military is unparalleled. This will definitely arouse His Majesty's fear. Therefore, Song Gongwen's entry into the cabinet will also curb our Zhao family."

behavior."

"Ah...then wouldn't my Shenwuhou Mansion be in danger?"

Cui Guo was a little anxious. The emperor was afraid of her, and the consequences would be quite serious.

She had lived in the Hou Mansion since she was a child and had received many favors. Her empress treated her like a sister, so of course she was panicked.

"There will indeed be some dangers." Zhao Lingying thought for a moment, and then said: "But as long as my father and brother have no second thoughts about the court and His Majesty, there is nothing else. At most, they will just take back some military power, so it will be okay."

"Is it okay to take back the military power? Madam, you...you said that." Cui Guo was speechless for a moment.

For a family of military generals, military power is so important. If it is taken back, it will basically be abolished.

"Cuiguo, you are still too shallow." Zhao Lingying shook her head and said seriously: "When you look at the problem, you can't just look at it from your own point of view. You have to look at it from His Majesty's point of view. If I were Your Majesty, I would do the same thing.

Do this, this is what a qualified emperor should do!"

"Besides, for a family of military commanders, without military power, they can exchange for a life of stability, glory and wealth. Isn't it a blessing?"

"It's not like you don't know how many tragic deeds of cunning rabbits died and lackeys were cooked in the vast history books?"

Hearing this, Cuiguo lowered his head and said nothing, knowing that this was a normal thing.

Just like the empress said, people from noble families can live a stable life.

Such an ending can be regarded as a good beginning and a good ending.

As for Zhao Lingying.

Then he looked outside the imperial study room, thoughtfully.

In fact, from the beginning, she didn't understand why His Majesty would do this, but after careful consideration.

Combined with the past few days, after reading those books about governing the country, I quickly understood it.

I know that any wiser emperor will do this. It can be summed up in two words.

Checks and balances!

It seems that I still have a lot to learn from His Majesty.

Zhao Lingying finally understood that sentence.

You can't just look at one side of everything.

Terrible, is this what the book says about the emperor's mind?

She couldn't help but shudder, feeling that His Majesty's methods were too powerful.

...

Dusk hour.

A corner of the palace.

Wang Jin, who was on duty, returned to his residence.

He sat on the main seat and looked at the dozens of young eunuchs in front of him: "Although you have been with me for the shortest time, your foundation is very clean. So starting from today, our family will officially give you a new task. Then

That is, monitoring every move of all officials in the imperial court."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the little eunuchs below immediately turned pale, and their calves were spinning.

They had all been sent to the palace since childhood, and were already used to being slaves.

The officials of the imperial court were all very important figures to everyone.

Are you risking your life by spying on these people?

Soon, a young eunuch came out and said tremblingly: "My lord, I'm afraid this won't work, right?"

"We are all incomplete eunuchs. Those court officials are so powerful. How can we monitor them?"

The other eunuchs also nodded quickly, letting them chew on their ears.

Therefore, one by one, it is either impossible to do it at all.

Or afraid of being beaten to death.

However, Wang Jin seemed to have expected this, and immediately said with a smile: "We know what you are worried about, it is just that you are afraid of getting into trouble, but what if we tell you that His Majesty asked us to do this?"

Did His Majesty ask us to do this?

When everyone present heard this, their eyes widened immediately.

If so, it is not that they are afraid of the ministers, but that the ministers are afraid of them.

"That's right." Wang Jin stood up, glanced around, and then said: "Your Majesty is worried that there are traitors hidden among the ministers, who will threaten the entire court."

"Today, we are giving a hint to our family to monitor them and monitor their every move. Anyone who has disobedient intentions must be informed."

"So there is no need to be afraid of being discovered, because His Majesty will be our strongest supporter. With His Majesty's support, what are we afraid of?"

"Everyone, this is an excellent opportunity!"

Wang Jin knew that he wanted to let them know that he was working for His Majesty.

As long as you are not stupid, you will definitely understand the meaning!

really.

When everyone heard this, their faces all turned red.

How much benefit will it bring to you in the future if you do things for His Majesty?

Regardless of anything else, Wang Jin in front of me is the best example.

It is definitely soaring into the sky, and the future is extremely bright.

Everyone present is an eunuch. They have no relatives and no heirs. If you want to get ahead, you must rely on His Majesty the Emperor!
