Mu Tingxue wanted to help her mother regain some reputation and influence: "The queen will be crowned next month, which is a matter of celebration for the whole country. She might as well take this opportunity to announce that the unjust prisons have been rectified, and that the late emperor has built a large number of Buddhist temples because of his large-scale construction projects. The treasury was squandered. At that time, many ministers tried to give advice, but met with bad luck and were sent to prison. The queen mother might as well rehabilitate them. If they had been executed by the late emperor, they would be given official positions and posthumous titles; if they were still alive, they would be released from prison. He will be released and his official position will be restored."

Queen Mother Yan did not speak, her eyes were full of surprise, joy and relief.

This is her Yan Ya’s daughter!

There are hills and valleys in the chest, and mountains and rivers can be accommodated in the belly.

"Actually, six years ago when the late Emperor Long Yu was the guest, the Queen Mother should have immediately rectified the injustice. That way she could win more support and gain a reputation for benevolence."

Mu Tingxue did not want to call that person his father. "The late emperor was not a benevolent king. He only worshiped Buddhism and squandered the country's finances. He plundered the people for whatever they asked for and sucked the marrow out of their livers. As long as you, Queen Mother, do the opposite of him, you will be able to Let the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the world know that you are different from the late emperor and that you are better than the late emperor."

Queen Mother Yan was extremely excited: "It is indeed a good idea, according to what you said."

She hated the late emperor.

Although they are nominally husband and wife, they also have a daughter.But the late emperor killed too many relatives in her natal family and still ignored his daughter.

Just the thought of overpowering that dead man made her uncontrollably excited.

"Li Dang was a staunch supporter of the late emperor and blindly condoned his tyranny. Most of the criminals who were imprisoned unjustly were not on the same side as Li Dang." Mu Tingxue analyzed, "My daughter has checked, and many of them are Serious and hard-working people with lofty ideals, there are two people with high official positions. One is the servant Wang Chu. The king of Qinling, Ding You, has returned to his fiefdom to observe his filial piety. The position of the servant is vacant, allowing Mr. Wang to resume his position; the other is The governor of Mizhou, Zong Yuanzhi, died of the plague, so Zong Zhengyuanzhi took a group of doctors who had passed the medical examinations of Chongyi Hospital to go to Mizhou to take up the post to fight the epidemic."

After hearing her words, Queen Mother Yan felt enlightened and enlightened: "It was the Ai family's negligence. These are indeed usable people. If only they had heard Qing Yuan's advice six years earlier!"

Menxia Province has always been controlled by King Qinling's faction, and Yang Shizhong is a good gentleman who doesn't care about anything. If he had fished out Wang Chu, who had been unjustly imprisoned, six years ago and used him for his own purposes, Menxia Province would definitely be in a different situation now. .

"It's not too late now."

Mu Tingxue grabbed the queen's hand and said, "I heard that seven years ago, a seventh-grade county magistrate was covered in blood and risked his life to write a "Nineteen Sins Remonstrance", listing the nineteen items of the late emperor. Big crime!"

As soon as this was mentioned, Queen Mother Yan became happy and gloated: "I remember, how could I not remember?" The late emperor was so angry that he vomited blood in the hall after reading "Remonstrance on Nineteen Sins" and lay on the hospital bed for half a month."

Mu Tingxue's eyes lit up: "Are you still alive?"

"Probably still in Zhao Prison."

Empress Dowager Yan said with a smile, "The Ai family remembers clearly that the small county magistrate was originally a farmer and self-taught. Because he wrote very well, he had the courage to block the street and donate books. Jing Yugong Lifan appreciated his talent. , he took him as his disciple and gave him to the county magistrate Zhima Guan. As a result, things like that happened, and Lijia was in a hurry to distance himself from him."

Mu Tingxue said: "This little county magistrate can also be used. He hates evil and is upright. He can be like Zhong Kui who fights ghosts."

Queen Mother Yan felt that her daughter was very insightful in employing people.

"What a ghost-fighting Zhong Kui!"

A familiar voice came from the door of Dongnuan Pavilion.

Mu Tingxue raised her head and found Yan Yang leaning against the door. She had been listening for who knows how long.

When Empress Dowager Yan saw him, she also smiled happily: "Listen, Qingyuan is helping the Ai family with advice. If you act according to her plan, why worry?"

Yan Yang's eyes were deep: "My aunt is right, my cousin is the master of the Ming Dynasty."

When the eldest princess advised her aunt not to punish Yan Guan, he had already walked to the corridor outside Dongnuan Pavilion.

Even after listening to her methods of uplifting the country and winning people's hearts, he couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart.

These are all good strategies that can really help my aunt increase her influence both inside and outside the government!

He had known that she was smart and talented, but he didn't know that she was a natural master of power, and she knew how to use people well.

Empress Dowager Yan did not hear the deep meaning of "Ming Zhu" in Yan Yang's mouth, and did not know that the two people had passed Qi a long time ago. The Empress Dowager pulled one with her left hand and the other with her right hand: "With you two here, what else does the Ai family have to worry about?" of."

Like a family of three.

Yan Yang's mind wandered, and he remembered the ardent admiration Ting Xue looked at him at the court meeting. Why not take this opportunity to propose to the Queen Mother's aunt...

"Now that the injustice has been rectified, the Queen Mother might as well do something more thorough."

Mu Tingxue obviously didn't realize the man's thoughts. She was an out-and-out career leader, and she was thinking about how to help her mother improve her prestige. "Before the late emperor ascended the throne, Prince Sui and King Wu rebelled, and both sides suffered losses. At that time, there was a great liquidation There are more than 2 people implicated. It would be better to rehabilitate these two. The crown prince should be punished as the spiritual prince, and the reputation of a series of former officials in the East Palace should be restored, especially the reputation of the founding hero Lanling Marquis Xiao. Future generations must make it clear."

Yan Yang's train of thought was interrupted.

He immediately understood that the eldest princess was doing it for the monk Fa Yuan in Baidi City, Prince Sin and Grand Master Xiao Wangzhi.

Empress Dowager Yan frowned slightly: "Rehabilitate Prince Sin? This... Prince Sin's former ministers in the East Palace are very hostile to the late emperor and the Yan family."

Mu Tingxue said: "If you vindicate Prince Sin, the survivors will be grateful to you, and it will also show your broad mind."

Empress Dowager Yan looked struggling, already a little moved.

Mu Tingxue kept up her efforts: "In the past, the late emperor once wanted to win over Qian Zhongshu Ling Xiao Wangzhi, but the late emperor was too stingy. Not only did he not restore the reputation of Xiao Wangzhi's apprentice, Prince Zui, but he also failed to vindicate the Lanling Xiao family. The win failed. It's inevitable. If you can do this, guess how Xiao Wangzhi will react?"

These words deeply touched Empress Dowager Yan.

What a joy it would be if she could do what the late emperor failed to do!

Is there any better revenge than this?

"The post of Zhongshu Ling has been vacant for many years, and there has been no suitable candidate. Nangong Dasitu has been coveting this position. He came to the Ai family many times to ask for help, but was fooled by the Ai family. If Xiao Wangzhi is willing to return to the court, he can resume this position. , which is also a beautiful thing. He had outstanding political achievements when he was in power in the past, and he is an out-and-out capable person."

"Xiao Wangzhi is in Baidi City, and my daughter has already met him before."

Mu Tingxue said sternly, "He may not be willing to serve us, but we must first show our attitude and sincerity, rehabilitate those who deserve vindication, and forgive those who deserve forgiveness. A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister also chooses a wise master. "

The mother and daughter discussed this matter for another hour.

An hour later.

Empress Dowager Yan seemed to have remembered something. The regent usually came to Qihuang Palace for business.

Today, he seems to have not said what it is.

"Yan Yang."

"exist."

"Is there something you need help from the Aijia?"

"Have."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"I sincerely ask my aunt to grant me a marriage and marry the eldest princess to me."
