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

Su Qingluo did not hide her thoughts and directly unfolded the map.

"The current governor of Huaichuan County in the southwest, Luan Jiaxun, is Luan Xuefeng's father. He was the commander of the Luo family army back then, but my mother changed his name for him."

"Luan Xuefeng grew up in Kyoto, so she's an old acquaintance of mine. I asked her to lead the troops to the north this time because I trust her."

"Young General Luan is the only son of the Luan family, so he is suitable to lead the troops." Yun Zhou remembered that Su Qingluo had summoned this person to the palace, and at the next morning's court he was told to be in charge of the transportation of grain and fodder.

The young general Luan was tall and strong, and looked extremely heroic.

If I'm not mistaken, he should be about 1.8 meters tall and looks strong.

"Only son?" Su Qingluo laughed, "No, it's the only daughter."

"Do you think Shi Guanchao is the only one who disguises herself as a man? The Luan family is the same, but her father knows her identity as a woman. It's just that Luan Xuefeng has wanted to join the army since she was a child, and her father couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree."

Yun Zhou was slightly stunned. This actually happened.

But if you think about it carefully, this person never appeared in the original work, so it is normal that people outside the book don’t know what is going on.

Su Qingluo drew a few more places for Yun Zhou. The current grand commanders were all promoted by her parents. Although they did not belong to the Yanwu Army, they had all received favors from her parents.

"In that case, wouldn't Your Majesty have a lot of military power in her hands?" Yun Zhou felt that even if Su Qingluo wanted to change the dynasty now, it would not be a difficult task.

Su Qingluo chuckled: "What are you thinking about?"

"Just because they have received favors from my parents doesn't mean they will listen to me. People are profit-seeking. If my parents were still here, maybe they would listen to me, but if it were me, that wouldn't be the case. What I need is to use this favor, plus some benefits, to make these people work for me."

Yun Zhou thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

Whether it is a favor or not depends on whether the other person remembers it.

"As for Qi Taihong, I cannot touch him now. Even if I know he has ill intentions, now is not the time to do so. Those people in the court seem to be keeping peace now, but in fact they are not under my control. I still need to expand my power."

"Prime Minister Qi will not directly rebel in the short term. The support of only a northern faction is not enough for him, not to mention that there is still General He, a veteran of three dynasties, alive." After Yun Zhou understood, he took over the conversation.

"Although Tianxuan's generals are not so highly regarded, people like General He are not something that anyone can touch. After all, he has made great contributions and is in charge of the Privy Council. Prime Minister Qi will definitely not rebel directly before he gets control of the Privy Council."

Su Qingluo listened to her analysis and nodded with a smile: "That's right, not stupid."

Yun Zhou smiled awkwardly: "My Lady, please don't make fun of me."

"I'm not making fun of you. I mean it sincerely." Su Qingluo said seriously.

"As you thought, my parents were not completely without ambition back then, otherwise they wouldn't have planned so many things." Su Qingluo said truthfully.

"But even if they have ambitions, they have never thought of ascending to the throne by stepping on the corpses of the people. My mother said that if the emperor is a hopeless piece of rotten mud, or a licentious and immoral person, then he can be replaced."

"Your Majesty, that's true." Yun Zhou said without any hesitation.

Su Qingluo chuckled: "Yes, he is indeed hopeless. My father taught him when he was still alive, but he..."

"He only seeks pleasure and has no intention of governing the country. If I were him, I could obviously use the power of the Su family and my parents to control the court, but he doesn't have such an idea."

"He was afraid of death. He was afraid that if he was too opinionated, he would be abandoned by my parents."

Yun Zhou sighed, it was indeed useless.

Yun Zhou roughly knew what happened later.

"But later, the general was killed in a great battle with the Northern Rong. The Northern Rong king at that time was also a genius. The general was accidentally ambushed and died in the valley."

“But the former King of Beirong was also seriously injured in that battle and died within a year. Beirong has been in civil strife for more than a year now, and it was not until this year that a new King of Beirong reappeared. This King of Beirong is as extraordinary as his brother.” Su Qingluo sighed.

Yun Zhou knew all these. After all, she had helped Su Qingluo read some memorials before and was familiar with the current situation in various countries.

"The Beirong in the north are eyeing us covetously. The southern countries nominally submit to Tianxuan, but in reality they always harass the people on the border. Many places in the southern seas are controlled by these small countries. When some fishermen want to go out to sea, they often clash with these small countries."

"The national treasury has not been full in recent years, so unless it is absolutely necessary, I do not want to conflict with Qi Xiang at this time. Qi Xiang, even if he is plotting a rebellion, will not block the future of the entire Tianxuan. What he wants is the throne of Tianxuan today, not the emperor of a small country who can be manipulated by others. That would be meaningless to him."

"So this time you will give Prime Minister Qi a way out, and then take the opportunity to place your own people in the northwest, such as a rising star like Luan Xuefeng. In the court, the two parties are constantly fighting each other. You need a fresh blood injection, and you also need to rest with the people and fill the treasury. All these will take time."

"Yes, all this will take at least three years." Su Qingluo sighed softly, feeling a little tired: "I just don't know if Qi Xiang can wait."

Yun Zhou thought about it carefully and it seemed that three years later would be the time when Prime Minister Qi would rebel.

"Your Majesty will win." Yun Zhou said to Su Qingluo firmly.

Su Qingluo actually wanted to ask, did she think she would win because she knew the future plot or because she believed in herself.

"With your help, how can I lose?" Su Qingluo narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yun Zhou with a smile.

Yun Zhou felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, and quickly found an excuse to run away: "Madam, I remembered that Envoy Jiang asked me to help look at the files just now, I will go and take a look first."

Su Qingluo watched her leave, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Why did she run so fast?

When it was lunch time, Su Qingluo hadn't seen Yun Zhou come back yet, so she casually asked Le Ran where she had been.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Yunzhou has gone to the small kitchen." Le Ran answered carefully.

"Kitchen?" Su Qingluo was a little surprised.

Although Yun Zhou had asked her for permission to use the small kitchen before, she had never been there many times.

Ever since she successfully restructured the harem, Yun Zhou felt much more relaxed, and the little palace maid she had specially trained to do the accounting also started to get the hang of it.

The palace maids and eunuchs of all ranks in the inner court each have their own duties, and it seems that there are fewer people than before, but because the responsibilities are more clearly defined and the procedures are more clear, everyone feels as if their life is more relaxed than before.

Yunzhou can only fish a little every day, and these days he especially wants to make something messy, such as spicy hot pot.

The food in this palace is still a little light. If you eat it every day, it will feel bland.
