"Your Highness, without His Majesty's will, we really can't do much!"
Xiao Yunduo, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, spoke softly.
As a hereditary and irreplaceable founder of the country, the Xiangcheng Marquis Mansion was deeply involved with the Li royal family. Xiao Yunduo himself married a royal princess. Although he was only a concubine, the princess was still a princess.
In terms of seniority, Xiao Yunduo, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, had to address the eldest princess as aunt, and Emperor Yongping as uncle.
It stands to reason that given Xiao Yunduo's relationship with the royal family, he should be given great importance. But in fact, Xiao Yunduo, the Marquis, was not well received.
Why aren't you welcome
This is actually not that difficult to guess.
Even though a big family is messy, the messiness among the royal family is many times more powerful than that of a big family.
The Marquis of Xiangcheng doesn't want to get into trouble, so he has to be more cautious.
If he casually did something he shouldn't have done, once Emperor Yongping blamed him, it would not be him alone, but the entire Xiangcheng Hou Mansion.
Although the Xiangcheng Hou Mansion is far inferior to the Xu Mansion, which has one clan and three nobles, as a founding figure like the Xu Mansion, the Xiangcheng Marquis Mansion is also a great family with many descendants.
"The Marquis of Xiangcheng does not need to worry about this, I will take care of this matter!"
"Today, the Northern Barbarians are not at peace, and savages are coming down from the mountains in the north. In the southwest, the Jie Luck Dao is establishing a country, dividing our territory of the Tang Dynasty."
"It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu, and the founding of the country. The country has always been peaceful and the people are safe."
"It can be seen that we, the Tang Dynasty, are blessed by God."
"This chaos should be a disaster for our Tang Dynasty."
"There are still major catastrophes and minor disasters in life. The same is true for a dynasty. As long as we survive this catastrophe, the fate of the Tang Dynasty will definitely last another hundred years. And all of you will be the heroes of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I hereby swear by Emperor Taizu that you will live up to our great Tang Dynasty, and our great Tang Dynasty will definitely live up to you!"
The words of the eldest princess revealed that these civil and military ministers and nobles were so excited that they would not hesitate to smash the Tang Dynasty to pieces because of their great achievements.
At this moment, no one thought about why the eldest princess did what the emperor should do
On the contrary, at this moment, these people all had the idea inexplicably that as long as the eldest princess was here, there would still be hope for the Tang Dynasty.
After these people left, the eldest princess just sat for a while and then asked someone to prepare the car. She wanted to enter the palace.
The eldest princess did not forget about herself just because she was loved by these civil and military ministers. She had far-reaching plans. In today's court, Emperor Yongping is still orthodox. Although he has indeed done a lot of bad things recently, he still has some way to go to make everyone in the court disappointed with Emperor Yongping.
Therefore, no matter what she does, the eldest princess can only do it under the banner of Emperor Yongping.
This time she was visited by the civil and military ministers and nobles of the DPRK. She must tell Emperor Yongping about this matter.
Although the Imperial City Department is already under the control of the eldest princess, the eldest princess does not think that she can completely cut off the emperor's ears and eyes. After all, the eldest princess knows about the existence of Nightingale.
Nightingale is under the control of the Queen Mother.
Once upon a time, Nightingale was not simply controlled by the Queen Mother, but was controlled by both the Queen Mother and the old lady of Xu Mansion. Now that Mrs. Xu is gone, Nightingale has become the power in the hands of the Queen Mother.
The eldest princess has never doubted the power of Nightingale.
Therefore, before taking the absolute initiative, she must play the role of Emperor Yongping's good aunt.
In the study room of Qiantian Palace, Emperor Yongping was reading the report, which contained various information about the capital collected by Nightingale sent by the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess wishes to see you!"
The servant who was guarding outside Qiantian Hall hurriedly appeared and reported to Emperor Yongping.
"Please!"
Emperor Yongping's trust in Princess Dachang was unprecedented.
It's not that he doesn't know that the eldest princess is domineering and arrogant, but as long as the eldest princess is loyal to him, then these are not problems.
While waiting for the eldest princess to come in, Emperor Yongping was reading the report sent by Nightingale.
When he saw the report from Nightingale saying that the eldest princess had close ties with the court officials in private, Emperor Yongping frowned. Although he did not think that the eldest princess could pose any threat to his throne, but seeing that Emperor Yongping still felt a little uncomfortable when the eldest princess had private contact with the civil and military ministers in the court and the nobles in the capital.
It is true that a woman cannot be an emperor, but what if
When this idea suddenly came to Emperor Yongping's head, he felt bad all over. Sitting on the chair, he felt cold all over. He felt as if he was the enemy of the whole world, and there was not even a single person around him who could be trusted and used. .
"I see you, Your Majesty!"
The eldest princess entered the study, observed the etiquette of a monarch and a minister, and presented herself to Emperor Yongping.
This basically didn't exist before.
Emperor Yongping was suddenly wary of the eldest princess, but when the eldest princess followed the etiquette of a monarch and ministers, his fear and suspicion disappeared.
"Auntie came here this time, but what's the matter?"
Emperor Yongping's mood improved, but only slightly.
The eldest princess didn't know that Emperor Yongping was suddenly suspicious of her, but she could tell that Emperor Yongping was not in a good mood right now.
"Your Majesty, I have come here to report something!"
It was impossible to guess why Emperor Yongping was in a bad mood, but the eldest princess still told the truth about her meeting with the civil and military ministers according to her own expectations, and repeatedly expressed that the Tang Dynasty was now in danger, and asked Emperor Yongping to pay attention to the relationship between the north and the south. Reorganization of the 36th Guards of the Second Battalion.
"Your Majesty, only an army capable of fighting can protect the country of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I made the decision without authorization and asked the Marquis of Xiangcheng and others to reorganize and drill the North and South Battalions. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Although the eldest princess looked down upon the nephew of Emperor Yongping, she knew very well that before she could take control of the overall situation, she had to support her nephew, coax him, and provide for him.
"Auntie's words are serious!"
When the eldest princess told him everything, Emperor Yongping's fear and suspicion towards the eldest princess disappeared in an instant, and at the same time he felt ashamed of his suspicion.
As an emperor, he is unable to employ people without suspicion and do not use people who are suspicious. He is really a failure.
His aunt once sacrificed her life to save him, so how could she have second thoughts about him
It is true that his aunt is somewhat domineering, but as the eldest princess of the current dynasty, why can't his aunt be domineering
The second-generation ancestor among those nobles can be domineering and arrogant. His aunt, the eldest princess of the royal family, has never bullied the good, but her words and deeds are somewhat high-spirited. Why not? (End of chapter)
