The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The Night King has been the regent for more than 20 years, and along the way, of course, there have been many people who have been secretly plotting against him. These people cannot compete with the Night King openly, so they can only use some tricks in private.

Among them, the emperor was the most "hardworking" in spreading the negative image of the Night King, secretly giving him a lot of bad names, such as violent nature, cruelty to innocent people, cold-blooded and ruthless. Of course, these gimmicks may be partially true, but there are also many exaggerated elements in them.

In the past, His Royal Highness the Night King did not pay attention to these superficial reputations. Even if the emperor and his men secretly slandered his image and exaggerated his violent and cruel nature, he remained unmoved and did not care at all.

But after Yun Mujiu's thoughtful advice, he suddenly felt that having a good reputation was still important. At least his princess was so good, he must not hold her back.

People in the world praise Yun Mujiu as a divine female doctor, so he should have a beautiful name to match it.

Wei Bai laughed a little when he heard his personal guards reporting the discussion among the people in the gardens near Mu Shi.

"The princess saved Master Su Wen once, and as a result he became a loyal protector of the prince and princess." He is quite loyal.

Ye Xiaohan did not mention "Su Wen" and simply said something about the person he cared about: "The princess has a kind heart."

People rumored that he was cruel and ruthless, but the princess he married was kind and benevolent.

Ahem…If Yun Mujiu knew that Ye Xiaohan thought of her like this, she would definitely feel embarrassed. She admitted that she had basic kindness, but she was not always so kind. When necessary, her temperament could change with the changes in the environment.

Because sometimes, being blindly kind is just stupidity.

Also, if one's kindness lacks edge, then it is weakness and incompetence.

Good done wrong is evil.

Du Ziheng was thoughtful and could not help but interrupt: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Speak." Ye Xiaohan said coldly.

"Your Highness, the princess doesn't know much about Mu Shi's affairs. Is that bad?" He was afraid that with the princess's temper, if she discovered the secret between the prince and Mu Shi only at the end, she would probably be sad again. What would happen if the relationship between the prince and the princess, which had just been repaired, was in trouble again?

Du Ziheng didn't wait for Ye Xiaohan's answer, Wei Bai directly said: "What nonsense are you talking about! If the time is right, the princess will definitely know." He added: "And the princess is so considerate, she will definitely understand... the prince's difficulties..."

Ye Xiaohan's expression was indifferent, and he only said lightly: "She will know."

But you won’t know it now…

Du Ziheng thought about it, nodded solemnly, and replied to Ye Xiaohan: "I understand..."

The prince has his own plans, so they just need to trust him. Moreover, it is not appropriate for them to tell the princess about those events now, so they should wait for the right time, otherwise acting hastily will backfire.

Ye Xiaohan sat back at his desk, opened a memorial, and learned about the situation at the daily morning court from the reports of his subordinates.

Now, his counterattack against the emperor's faction has been launched step by step. The third plan is to suppress the officials under the emperor and prevent the emperor from winning over and establishing new power.

Dong Cun, who has been in the officialdom for many years and is expected to emerge as a new figure, is secretly pressured by the Night King. He will definitely not have the chance to become the left prime minister in the short term.

Dong Cun and his colleagues were also secretly suppressed by the Night King's people in the court. They were not allowed to act in a high-profile manner or to win over powerful people to help their own development.

As for the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, they were not going to get a good result either. Lord Lu and his entourage were gloating over the fact that they could suppress the Night King's industry, but they didn't know that they couldn't even get a single cent of the King's industry.

Ye Xiaohan said to Wei Bai calmly: "When it comes to business, the timing is almost right."

Wei Bai smiled: "Your Highness means that we have to start fighting back vigorously?"

In the past few months, the emperor's people have been so arrogant, working like starving ghosts to make money and arrogantly trying to suppress their business. They didn't say anything, just watched these people jumping up and down, they didn't lose anything anyway. Moreover, under the order of the prince, they have been secretly pitting the emperor's subordinates.

"That's right." Ye Xiaohan looked back at Wei Bai and tapped the table with his slender fingers. "The foreshadowing of suppressing Ye Chudi's business has been laid. Now it's the emperor's turn."

"It's time for the emperor to suffer. Right now we don't need to set a trap for the emperor, but instead we can directly give him a round of counterattack in the business world." Wei Bai understood very well, and a foxy smile appeared on his face.

When dealing with the emperor, they had to act directly, without any tact. No matter how well the prince did as the regent, the emperor still regarded him as a thorn in his side. So they had a completely hostile relationship with the emperor, and they just had to fight back openly against any tricks he had.

Wei Bai vowed: "Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely cheat them out of their money. The extra money I earn will be used to strengthen our Yewang Mansion and our brothers in the army."

The emperor had many businesses that made money, but the money he earned either went into the state treasury or into the emperor's private treasury. The emperor and the court had money, but they would not spend it on the Jinxiang Guards.

Even though the Jinxiang Guards were the Night King's army, they were also part of the Zhongyue Dynasty. They fought on the battlefield and maintained stability in all directions. They should have been praised and treated well, but they could not even get the most basic normal treatment from the emperor and the court.

The emperor took away the Golden Guards, but refused to treat the soldiers properly. Instead, he allowed them to be deducted and abused. The soldiers did not eat well, sleep well, wear well, and their weapons, equipment, medicine, and food were all bad. As a result, the Golden Guards carefully trained by the Night King would also be weakened day by day, and their quality would be degraded.

Fortunately, the Night King has been secretly paying attention to the situation of the Golden Guards and allocating funds to their generals from time to time. Although the treatment of the Golden Guards is not as good as it was in the past under the Night King, it is not too harsh.

In fact, without the help of the court, it was already quite difficult for the Night King to support an army of more than 300,000 people alone.

Therefore, when he was training the Jinxiang Guards, given the large number of troops in the camp, the lack of financial support from the national treasury, the huge military expenses and other difficult realities, the treatment of the Jinxiang Guards in all aspects was no better than that of the emperor's men.

But the Night King still gave the soldiers the best treatment within his power. Most of the money earned by the Night King's property was spent on this army of hundreds of thousands.

The Night King is strict in military discipline, but he is also clear about rewards and punishments, and he will do his best to provide good treatment and training to his soldiers.

Ye Xiaohan didn't need to say much at this time, Wei Bai, the old fox, naturally knew what to do. He was very good at doing business, so of course he would cheat his opponents. Of course, he usually only cheated bad people.

Hehe, but I have to say that the prince is too bad in doing things, but he likes it. Such a dark and courageous prince is the most powerful!
