An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1163 A Blatant Enemy

Yun Shang smiled, "You really think highly of his majesty and me, but unfortunately, people are never

omnipotent."

"How could it be?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Hua'er cut in, her voice clear and lively.

"In my eyes, your majesty and his majesty are omnipotent. It seems there isn't anything that couldn't be

solved by your majesty and his majesty."

"There is." Yun Shang smiled and lowered her eyes.

Of course, there were many things that she can't solve.

For example, she could do nothing when facing death.

She had gone to the battlefield before and watched too many people lose their lives, but she couldn't

do anything to stop it.

And she couldn't solve the matter of her body.

Yun Shang touched her belly gently and smiled, without saying anything. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Qian Zhuo hurriedly said, "Your majesty didn't sleep last night. There's nothing important now. I'll bring

you some hot water to wash your feet. You can have a rest first."

Yun Shang nodded, "I'm indeed a little sleepy."

After soaking her feet, Yun Shang lay down on the bed. "If Qian Yin sends something to the palace,

remember to wake me up."

Qian Zhuo nodded and put down the bed curtain. "It's a little bright outside. I'll put the bed curtain down

to block the light for you."

Yun Shang nodded and closed her eyes slowly.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't stayed up like this for a long time that she felt a little sleepy when

she suddenly relaxed. Yun Shang closed her eyes and soon her consciousness began to blur.

In a daze, she heard Qian Zhuo whisper to Hua'er, "Be careful when you talk in the future. Don't

mention her majesty's sad thing again."

"It's my fault. I didn't think too much."

"Okay, just pay attention to it next time."

Yun Shang smiled, turned over and fell asleep.

"Mother! Mother! " Chengye's anxious voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

All of a sudden, Yun Shang came to her senses. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Chengye

had climbed onto the bed and was staring at her.

As soon as Yun Shang opened her eyes, Chengye threw himself into Yun Shang's arms. "Mother!"

"What's wrong?" Yun Shang was still in a daze. She caught him and looked away.

Standing by the bed, Qian Liu explained as soon as she saw Yun Shang looking at her, "The crown

prince has been asking to see your majesty. I can't do anything about it, so I have to bring him here.

Seeing your majesty sleeping at this time, his highness thought something had happened to your

majesty. I explained to him for a long time, but his highness didn't listen to me and insisted on waking

your majesty up. "

Yun Shang realized that it was probably the impact left by Luo Qingyan's fake death last time.

Yun Shang sat up with Chengye in her arms, "Mother is fine. I just took a nap."

"But you hadn't woken up even after I woke up." He fixed his eyes on Yun Shang.

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing and nodded, "Yes, it's my fault. I'm too sleepy."

Yun Shang got up and played with Chengye for a while. Then she saw Qian Zhuo coming in with a

pamphlet.

Yun Shang guessed that the pamphlet must have been sent in by Qian Yin, so she found an excuse to

send Chengye away. Then she took it over.

"Sister Qian Yin said that this is the information about the other 21 noble clans according to your

majesty's instructions. 35 officials among the 67 officials executed in the garden came from the 26

noble clans respectively, and the rest more than 30 were not born in noble clans in the Jin City. Some

of them had been promoted from the local governments, and some got their positions through the

imperial examination. Although they were officials in the court, their family had not yet established a

firm foothold in the Jin City. It's not a big deal. "

Yun Shang nodded, "Such families are easier to make trouble if instigated. Those officials in such

families are always the backbone of their family. Once something happens to them, they will be

particularly frustrated. It's not easy to win them over, and they won't let it go easily. We need to comfort

them carefully. "

Hearing what Yun Shang said, Qian Zhuo thought it made sense. She frowned and said, "Sister Qian

Yin said that she would also send people to investigate the situation of those officials' families. It will

take some time. Have your majesty thought of a way to deal with the officials' families? "

Holding the pamphlet in her hand, Yun Shang meditated for a moment and said, "Even if his majesty

has issued an announcement that those officials were executed for rebellious behavior, once they died,

their family will definitely not think that they deserve to die. They will definitely treat me and his majesty

as enemies. Although they don't have much power, it will be a headache if they make trouble. "

Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "I need some people in the court who can blatantly oppose his

majesty."

"Someone blatantly oppose his majesty?" Qian Zhuo's eyes were full of doubts. "I heard the incident in

Changting Garden was to get rid of the enemies. Why did you say that the court needs someone who

can blatantly oppose his majesty?"

"There are two completely different meanings between a enemy and a person who dares to oppose the

emperor." Yun Shang's eyes lit up. "The officials we got rid of were those who had betrayed his majesty

in private and defected to Xia Houjing or other forces, and those who were swaying in their hearts and

stood by whoever had the advantage. This kind of person will secretly obstruct his majesty and provide

information to our opponent. They can't be kept. "

"And there are two kinds of people who blatantly oppose the emperor. One is those who are loyal to the

emperor, but have their own ideas. They are always against the emperor. Their loyalty is

unquestionable, but because of different concepts, or because they don't agree with the emperor's

certain practices, they seem to be against the emperor. They will speak loudly, but they won't do

anything bad in private. "

"And the other is some evil officials the emperor deliberately put in the court. They will secretly do some

actions, such as corruption, at the emperor's orders to show to others. They could attract some people

with ulterior motives. In this way, it could help the emperor to distinguish loyal officials and traitor

officials. "

Hearing Yun Shang's explanation, Qian Zhuo understood, "What do you want such a person to do,

your majesty?"

Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "I want them to draw over the family members of the officials

executed in Changting Garden. Let them think that they are against the emperor and will avenge their

family. But they are actually under his majesty's control. "

"In this way, we can hold the family members of the officials in our hands, so that they couldn't do

anything beyond our control."
