After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

However, Wen Zhimiao couldn't tell Yun Zhou these things for the time being.

She could only crawl a short distance, let alone speak.

He can only babble every day.

Fortunately, Yun Zhou didn't worry about this.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter how they do it. What's important is that this proves that your mother is strong! We have indeed found a great person."

[That makes sense.] Wen Zhimiao thought so too.

Fang Heyu had originally been promoted to the position of Shangshu Ling.

Below the prime minister are the heads of the three provinces, who are the most powerful.

He was a first-rank official, but was dismissed and exiled by the Queen.

And according to Yun Zhou's understanding, Tianxuan is not stable internally now.

Due to various reasons, officials from the north and south formed two parties and disliked each other.

The gradual improvement of the imperial examination system did give more children from poor families and even ordinary people the opportunity to succeed.

After a hundred years of chaos, coupled with the previous dynasty's suppression of aristocratic families, there is indeed no aristocratic family in Tianxuan today that is strong enough to influence the imperial power.

However, due to problems with Tianxuan's official system, as well as various factors such as economic development in the north and south, powerful officials were born and numerous political parties emerged in the court.

Especially the struggle between officials from the north and the south.

When the previous emperor was in power, he madly supported southern officials, but the northern group had a deeper foundation.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, the two sides each supported a prince, resulting in both sides suffering losses.

Let the current emperor take advantage of the opportunity.

The Su family, which has always remained neutral and not very conspicuous, produced a great general who defended the country and supported the current emperor.

So initially, both parties were not very friendly towards the emperor.

In addition, the emperor was incompetent, and both sides wanted to control the emperor and let their own family members take the throne, preferably with offspring. In this way, they could find an opportunity to depose the current emperor and support the young emperor.

But unexpectedly, Queen Su Qingluo was so capable.

Although the emperor was incompetent, he placed all his trust in her.

Not only did the two of them not become puppets, but the existence of the Yanwu Army even restrained the two parties.

There is a delicate balance between the two in the court today.

All this is because the Queen controls the Yanwu Army, and neither side dares to act rashly.

The emperor of Tianxuan was not as decisive as those in previous dynasties.

The prime minister has very high power in Tianxuan, such as the appointment and dismissal of officials.

The founding emperor of Tianxuan learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and established the Privy Council to disperse military power, so that Tianxuan's generals could not become as powerful as in the previous dynasty and form a separatist force.

However, this also allowed some civil officials to interfere in military deployments.

Yunzhou has been sorting out things from this era in the past six months.

In fact, this era feels a bit like a hodgepodge of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Tianxuan did not deliberately suppress military generals, nor did he respect civil officials as much as the Song Dynasty.

However, because the emperors of Tianxuan dynasties were closer to civil officials and overly dependent on the prime minister, there was an invisible feeling that civil officials were superior to military generals.

Because of the favoritism of emperors of all dynasties, high-ranking civil officials were able to interfere in military dispatches and the appointment and dismissal of military generals.

However, it did not completely suppress military generals like the Song Dynasty.

The status of border guards was still relatively high, and the literati were not immune to being killed.

In general, it emphasized culture over military affairs, but it was not as serious as in the Song Dynasty.

The previous emperor was not so dependent on the prime minister. In order to disperse the prime minister's power, he even set up the Censorate. The highest official of the Censorate was equivalent to the deputy prime minister.

However, the late emperor's diligent efforts alone could not change the accumulated problems of the past.

In addition, due to a series of new government offices established by the previous emperor, Tianxuan’s official system has become more and more numerous, and the salaries of officials alone are a huge expense.

The late emperor worked hard to govern the country and tried to reform in the first twenty years of his reign, but just as everything was beginning, he fell seriously ill and fell ill for ten years, spending half of the ten years in bed.

On the other hand, knowing that he was seriously ill, he could not help but be eager for quick success and instant benefits, and over-supported southern officials and suppressed northern officials, so that the conflict between the two became more and more intense.

Nowadays, the taxes on the people have increased a lot. Although the economy in the south has developed and it is richer overall, the rich are the businessmen, and the lives of ordinary people have not improved.

The previous emperor only implemented half of the reforms but did not carry them out completely.

Opponents do not want this policy to be fully implemented, and supporters fight for it.

The result of the contest between the two is that the new policy and the old system coexist, and the whole country is in chaos.

The ten-year internal strife between the two princes also caused all kinds of chaos.

And this mess fell on the shoulders of this incompetent emperor who took advantage of the situation.

But everyone knew that he was ridiculous and incompetent, so this mess would never fall on him.

According to Yun Zhou's speculation, this emperor probably only cared about enjoying himself.

Occasionally he would feel a little unwilling when he got excited, but most of the time he would be satisfied as long as he could continue to have fun.

After knowing this, Yun Zhou really felt that being a queen had a hard life.

She had been on the throne of queen for only five years, and during those five years, she had managed to maintain a delicate balance between the North and South parties, which had always been picking on each other.

Although the problem has not been solved fundamentally, at least the court has become stable and there are not so many people who want to control the emperor.

The power of the prime minister did not seem to be weakened, but the Censorate, the Privy Council, and the Supervisory Council all had a restraining effect on him.

Even if they belong to different parties, the various departments and ministries have to cooperate occasionally.

This can be considered as easing the relationship between the two parties.

The more Yun Zhou thought about it, the more he felt that being the Queen really had a hard time.

This time she wanted to take action against Fang Heyu because Fang Heyu was too ambitious and was eager to break the current short-lived balance.

Yun Zhou wasn't sure whether the Queen was satisfied with the current balance or had deeper plans, but no matter which one it was, this balance should not be broken by Fang Heyu.

Fang Heyu, as the current leader of the southern party, is ambitious and uses the convenience of his position as Shangshu Ling to try to place his own people in the Privy Council.

Yun Zhou knew all these things and had vaguely guessed that the Queen might be able to temporarily indulge him in other aspects, but she would never allow anyone to try to interfere in the Privy Council.

A prime minister was already a major concern for her, and she could not possibly indulge an ambitious Fang Heyu.

It just so happened that the prime minister was from the north and could not tolerate Fang Heyu either.

"If I'm not mistaken, this time your mother must have borrowed the power of the prime minister, or even the power of other people in the southern party. Fang Heyu's ambition is too big, and some conservatives in the southern party do not agree with his approach."

"Your mother came forward to win over these conservatives and promised that the position of Shangshu Ling would still belong to the Southern faction. They had no reason to refuse."

"Fang Heyu's defeat was not your mother's order in the end. It was the result of him making enemies with everyone."

Su Qingluo happened to be walking by and heard Yun Zhou and Wen Zhimiao's conversation. She simply stood at the door and listened to her tell all her guesses.

After listening, Su Qingluo realized that he had underestimated the ability of this soul from another world.
