Han Yunxi's waywardness stunned Tang Li, and he blurted out, "Sister-in-law, you are so stupid! You really said such a thing!"
The most talked about rumor they heard in the outer city was what Han Yunxi just said.
What did all the ministers persuade to cancel the first birthday party, but the queen empress said that a special event must be held on the prince's first birthday!
Han Yunxi gave Tang Li a blank look, "You're just stupid!"
"Queen, do you want to force them to donate money for disaster relief at the birthday party?" Tranquility asked, she knew that Han Yunxi was not that stupid.
"Not only that!"
Han Yunxi sneered, she let Ning Jing and Tang Li approach, and whispered to them, and Long Feiye knew Han Yunxi's plan for tomorrow, he watched from the side, couldn't help laughing.
Fighting openly and covertly in the court is really boring, and it is also a kind of fun to let Han Yunxi, the empress, disturb this big pond occasionally.
Tomorrow's birthday party should be very interesting.
It was night, before Long Feiye went to bed, he went over the eaves and walls, checked all the roofs in the palace, but he didn't see Gu Qishao.
Although he didn't let Gu Qishao come back with them, he still sent someone to give him the invitation letter for Rui'er's birthday party.
This guy, isn't he coming
Although Gu Qishao said that the No. 7 tea house would be given to Rui'er, it has not been officially given away, at least the land deed must be brought over.
Han Yunxi can stir things up, and Gu Qishao is even more so.
If he doesn't show up, tomorrow's birthday party will really lose a lot of fun.
This night, the palace was calm and peaceful, but Yunning's inner city and outer city, and even the whole of Daqin were paying attention to the palace, waiting for news from the palace to cancel tomorrow's birthday banquet.
Baili Yuanlong was most concerned about this matter.
In the dead of night, Baili Yuanlong was having a secret meeting with Xiao Dong, the commander of the Southern Army.
Xiao Dong has just turned forty this year, and he is sixteen years younger than Baili Yuanlong. However, compared to the northern army leader Jinzi, the western army leader Chu Tianyin, and the eastern army leader Luotu, he is considered older.
Xiao Dongwen couldn't plan, and Wu Lian couldn't defend himself. In the southern military department full of talents, he was actually a waste!
However, Xiao Dong has a big background!
Xiao Dong is the head of several great families in the south, a member of the Xiao family.
When Long Feiye was still at the top of Tianshan Mountain, Patriarch Xiao was invited to the Medical City Conference, and he openly opposed Gu Beiyue who supported Han Yunxi. The Xiao family had aimed at the position of queen a few years ago, and they didn't object to Han Yunxi, that's really a ghost!
Long Feiye would have settled this account a long time ago. If Gu Beiyue hadn't stopped him, Long Feiye would have found a reason to copy the Xiao family after he became emperor.
It has to be said that the Xiao family's influence in the south is huge and complicated, and it affects the whole body. Once Long Feiye understands the Xiao family, the south will be in chaos.
Today, the West, North, East, and Central regions are all in a state of post-war reconstruction, and most of the food that the people take for granted has to come from the South.
The south cannot be messed up!
The reason why the southern military department dared to be so presumptuous was because it seized this opportunity.
Of course, the supporters of the southern army and the big families behind the scenes are very smart. They know that Long Feiye has a heart for the south, so they must take this opportunity to win more power for themselves and the alliance. By.
Xiao Dong is just a spokesperson elected by several big families in the south, he is quite different from Baili Yuanlong.
However, the two have a lot in common.
First, they all felt that Long Feiye's appointment of Jin Zi, Chu Tianyin, and Luo Tu as military masters was too hasty. Both Jin Zi and Chu Tianyin were under thirty years old, and Luo Tu was the nephew of the treasurer Luo of Kanggan Qianzhuang, who just turned thirty last year. According to Xiao Dong and Baili Yuanlong's words, these three boys haven't grown their hair yet, so what can they do
Second, their spearhead is Han Yunxi, and the ultimate goal of the southern army is the Queen's position. The queen's son is the prince, so, to put it more bluntly, they hope that the prince, or even the future prince, will be theirs, and seek greater benefits for their family from them. And Baili Yuanlong hoped that the Southern Army would become stronger, and that the Southern Army would win the Queen's position. In his opinion, as long as the southern army becomes stronger, the emperor will need him even more, so he has no choice but to win him over!
After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, only the Baili family can compete with the southern army.
Baili Yuanlong and Xiao Dong sat face to face on the tea table, they had chatted for a long time, and now they were waiting for news from the palace.
Although it was a private meeting, they were all courteous to each other.
After all, they don't treat each other sincerely, they all come here for profit, and they are both on guard against each other.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Dong tentatively said: "Master Baili, it's already this time, in my opinion, there will be no news from the palace, right?"
What is he probing for
What he was testing was whether Baili Yuanlong had an informant in the palace, beside Long Feiye or Han Yunxi. The civil and military officials and dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty all wanted to bribe the people in the palace to inquire about some news.
It's a pity that this matter is difficult, because Long Feiye doesn't have the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, and Yunning Palace only lives with him and Han Yunxi, and doesn't need many servants.
Xiao Dong thought that Baili Yuanlong was the second-in-command of the Eastern Qin camp in the past, and he must be familiar with Long Feiye's confidantes. Even if he couldn't buy off the people around the two masters, at least he had some informants in the palace.
As for whether Baili Yuanlong has any informants in the palace, only he knows in his heart.
Baili Yuanlong replied, "Wait a little longer. If there is really no news, that's just fine."
So, the two fell into silence again.
However, after a while, Xiao Dong lost his composure again.
"My lord Baili, if the Empress insists, then tomorrow we will have to advance and retreat together!"
They agreed that if the first birthday party was not canceled tomorrow, they would not mention this matter in the early court, but would persuade and denounce the queen in front of all the congratulators at the first birthday party.
After all, it was the queen who spoke out, so it must be done in a big way!
"Naturally!" Baili Yuanlong nodded calmly.
The two must wait, but it's a pity that the sky is almost dawn, and there is no news of the cancellation of the first birthday banquet in the palace.
How should he go to court, Xiao Dong couldn't wait any longer, so he got up and left.
After seeing off Xiao Dong, Baili Yuanlong sat down and drank a few sips of strong tea to wake himself up.
At this time, a woman who was nearly thirty years old came out from behind the curtain. Although she was a little old, she was born like a fish and a wild goose, dignified and beautiful.
Her ladylike temperament is enough to make people ignore her age.
This woman is none other than Baili Yuanlong's eldest daughter, who has been undercover in Beili for many years. She has grown from a small court lady Qingyun to become Beili's emperor's favorite concubine Xiao Guifei, Baili Mingxiang's older sister, Baili Lixiang!
She hid very deeply in Beili for a very long time, even if the civil strife broke out in Beili, she did not leave the emperor of Beili, and followed the north to flee all the way, knowing that the emperor of Beili committed suicide, she never left.
She swept away many treasures of the Northern Li royal family, and at the same time, she knew the situation in Northern Li well. She even had many cronies in Northern Li.
Baili Yuanlong is a martial artist. When he followed Long Feiye, he was still clueless and stubborn like a stinky stone. Now, he was able to hook up with the Southern Military Department precisely because of the help of such a daughter behind the scenes.
Baili Lixiang has been struggling in the Beili Palace for so many years, how can her city and her wrists be so simple
The Baili family has sacrificed so much for the Eastern Qin royal family. In her opinion, Long Feiye should at least make his father king, and let her younger brother inherit the title of king in the future, so that the Baili family can really enjoy the title of king forever. Some treatment.
However, instead of being crowned king, Long Feiye listened to Han Yunxi's words and divided the military power into five. It even gave Han Yunxi, the woman, the highest military power.
The Baili family has followed Long Feiye the longest and paid the most, so why can't they enjoy the privilege
She and her father still could not accept that Long Feiye would hand over the power of the north to Jinzi, the queen of the Hei clan, after Chu Tianyin handed over the western army to the queen of the You clan.
In their view, this is a very risky, even a stupid act of digging their own grave.
"Father, go and rest. In my opinion, this matter is not that simple. Tomorrow, it's better to be careful." Baili Lixiang was deep in the city, with vicious wrists, but she was a filial daughter.
She doesn't seek profit for herself, but even if she dies, she must seek profit for her father and brothers.
As a woman, the idea of sacrificing for the family is like an imprint on her heart that will never be erased.
How could Baili Yuanlong have the mind to rest? In front of Xiao Dong, he looked calm, but in front of his daughter, his impatience was completely exposed.
"Lixiang, how can I sleep as a father? Tomorrow, Xiao Dong and I will work together to persuade you, just in case..."
"Father, there is no chance! As long as Han Yunxi dares to do special things, she will definitely not be able to turn around this time! I not only persuaded several ministers in Liubu, but also found many ordinary people. They should be ready by now. As long as Once the banquet starts, those ordinary people will definitely block all the gates of Sifang City. Also, father, this matter is Han Yunxi's fault, and I don't believe that the Beili military can still lock her up!" Baili Lixiang seriously Say.
Baili Yuanlong nodded, the comfort of his daughter reassured him a lot.
"Father, do you still remember that Han Yunxi used the Queen Mother Tianning's birthday banquet to initiate a fundraiser?" Baili Lixiang asked again.
Upon hearing this, Baili Yuanlong became nervous again, "Could it be that this time she..."
"Father, don't worry, my daughter has already made two-handed preparations. Even if she initiates a fundraiser, my daughter can deal with her!" Baili Lixiang sneered, and under the candlelight, she really looked like a femme fatale.
"What way?" Baili Yuanlong asked hastily.
Baili Lixiang whispered in his ear, Baili Yuanlong looked surprised, "Is this really the case?"
"I have personally visited those ten wives, this matter cannot be faked!" Baili Lixiang replied in a low voice.
Only then did Baili Yuanlong feel completely relieved. He was nervous at first, but now he suddenly started to look forward to it, wishing that the first year party would start as soon as possible.
"You should also rest earlier, you will meet the saint tomorrow for the first time, so you have to recharge your energy." Baili Yuanlong confessed seriously.
"I have to pick up my sister later, she should be arriving in Yunning soon." Baili Lixiang couldn't help complaining, "Mingxiang is really naive, she doesn't want to stay in Yunning and go to be a military doctor !"
