Nirvana Phoenix Song

The court's investigation has accelerated, and local supernatural families have begun to feel unprecedented pressure. Feng Tangyue's reforms are advancing rapidly across the country, but the opposition forces hidden in the dark have not given up. They are secretly planning and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

One night, the left prime minister held a secret meeting in his residence. Several important officials in the court and representatives of local noble families gathered quietly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," a representative of a supernatural family from the east whispered, "Feng Tangyue's reforms are getting closer and closer. If we don't take action, our foundation will be completely shaken."

The left prime minister sat in the main seat with a gloomy look, "I understand that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. But the power in the court is not enough to confront Feng Tangyue head-on, so we must act cautiously."

"Cautious? We are already too cautious!" another important official said angrily, "She is merciless. If we don't fight back, she will eliminate us one by one sooner or later."

The left prime minister nodded slightly. "Indeed, now is the time when we have to take action. But we cannot confront her directly. We need to start from other angles."

"Lord Zuo Xiang, what are your plans?" asked the leader of a supernatural family from the south.

The left prime minister narrowed his eyes slightly and revealed a hint of sneer, "We can take advantage of the tense situation on the border of Feng Country. Recently, there have been frequent activities of supernatural beings on the border. If we can provoke border conflicts and distract the court, Feng Tangyue will have no time to take care of our internal resistance."

"Provoking border conflict? That's too risky." An important official frowned.

"We have to take risks," the left prime minister said firmly, "As long as Feng Tangyue can't deal with us with all her strength, we will have time to unite more forces. The power of the court is not as solid as she thinks, and local dissatisfaction with her is accumulating. We only need to cause enough chaos to put her in a dilemma."

"But if she handles the situation properly, it will speed up the pace of reform. Aren't we courting our own destruction?" another person questioned.

The left prime minister smiled coldly, "If she can really deal with the internal and external crises at the same time, then we will just lose completely. After all, we can't just wait to die, so why not give it a try?"

Several people were silent, and after thinking for a moment, they finally nodded in agreement. Obviously, everyone realized that there was no way out now.

"I will arrange for people to contact the supernatural forces on the border, create some conflicts, and attract the attention of the court." The left prime minister said slowly, "At the same time, secretly contact those local families who are dissatisfied with the reform and form an alliance."

The leader of the supernatural family in the south smiled and said, "Lord Zuo Xiang is indeed a man of strategy. This is a good move. No matter how strong Feng Tangyue is, it is impossible for him to take care of both the external crisis and the internal rebellion at the same time."

The left prime minister did not comment, and waved his hand to signal the end of the meeting. "Everyone, we must act carefully from now on. Once the time is right, we can strike back and win."

Everyone left, and Zuo Xiang sat in front of the candlelight, his eyes deep. He knew that this gambling game was extremely dangerous, but there was no way out. Either he could successfully overthrow Feng Tangyue, or everyone would be buried with him.

At the same time, in the cold palace, Feng Tangyue stood in front of the window, staring at the night outside the imperial city.

"Your Highness, the Inspectorate has monitored the actions of the Left Prime Minister's faction. They seem to be planning to collude with border forces to create conflicts." Xiaoshi's voice came from behind, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Feng Tangyue's eyes turned cold and she turned around. "They really can't hold back any longer. The situation on the border is indeed a hidden danger. The left prime minister is planning to attack from both sides."

"Your Highness, should we take action immediately?" Xiaoshi asked.

Feng Tangyue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "No, they think they can use external pressure to force me to be distracted, so we will go with the flow. Let them think that the plan is going smoothly, and we must stabilize the situation on the border first."

Xiao Shi nodded. "Your Highness, do you mean to wait for their follow-up actions?"

A cold light flashed in Feng Tangyue's eyes. "That's right. Let them think they have won, and then we will launch a thorough counterattack to expose their conspiracy. We must prepare in secret, and once they make a move, we must strike quickly."

Xiao Shi smiled, "It seems that Zuo Xiang and his men will fail again this time."

Feng Tangyue smiled slightly, her expression no longer serious, "They really made a wrong move this time. I will make them understand that there is no turning back on the road of reform."

"Get ready, the storm is coming."
