After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms
Chapter 31: The power of the foreign relatives is like a thorn in the throat
Her uncle Ye Zuan is the eldest son of the Ye family. He is gentle and cheerful, and he loves her the most.
In the previous life, my grandfather died in the northern border and was accused of a false crime. In order to clear the charges and to retrieve my grandfather's body, my eldest uncle and second uncle resolutely requested orders to go north to fight the enemy. However, when victory was in sight, the court issued twelve golden medals ordering the troops to withdraw and return to the court immediately.
As a result, he was attacked by the enemy on his way back to Korea.
Under attack from both sides, my eldest uncle and second uncle died in battle...
In this life, she must protect the Ye family.
Ye Zuan stepped forward and touched Yan Qing's head. "Qingqing, don't worry. Your mother has already sent a letter. I have asked the general to submit a petition to the emperor. Although Lu's crime cannot be punished, his position as the commander of the imperial guards can be revoked."
Yan Qing was a little surprised: "Mother wrote you a letter?"
Ye Zuan nodded: "Ajie still loves you. She told me to make sure Lu Qiaonan suffer a little, so I've already asked Axuan and Aquan to go over with the sack..."
Yan Qing widened his eyes: "..."
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingquan are the two cousins in the Ye family who love to play pranks the most. Asking them to put a sack on Lu Qiaonan?
Yan Qing could already imagine how miserable Lu Qiaonan would be...
She burst out laughing.
The depression in my chest immediately dissipated a lot.
"That's right, it's so nice to have you smile like this. I was scared to death just now!" When General Ye saw his granddaughter finally burst into laughter, his tense old face finally relaxed.
Ye Zuan also laughed and said, "Go see your grandmother. She's been scolding your mother at home all day long these days."
Looking at the worried and concerned eyes of her relatives, Yan Qing felt a warm feeling in her heart. She nodded: "Grandfather, uncle, I'm going to visit grandma."
"go Go!"
General Ye waved his hand to drive them away.
When Yan Qing disappeared, the old general's kind face instantly turned cold: "Zuan, are you sure that Lu will let the meat fly away?"
Ye Zuan sneered, "The Imperial Guards are the closest troops to the Emperor, and the Prince of Qi is actually trying to get involved. His Majesty doesn't like this to begin with, but due to pressure from the Wang family, he was forced to give the position of commander of the Imperial Guards to Lu Qiaonan. If anyone raises an objection now, His Majesty will definitely seize the opportunity."
General Ye sighed, "Now the court is controlled by the two families of Prince Xie and the others. The imperial power has fallen into the hands of others. It's not easy for the emperor..."
Ye Zuan said solemnly, "It's all Lu Qiaonan's fault. He dared to insult Qingqing on their wedding night. Not only him, but also the Wu'an Marquisate will pay the price!"
"That's right!"
General Ye nodded repeatedly and instructed, "Xiao Qingqing is my granddaughter. If she's unhappy, I'm unhappy too. You must tell Hu Biao that if he still recognizes me as his master, he'll beat Lu Qiaonan to death..."
Behind the rockery, Yan Qing stood up after hearing this and continued to walk towards his grandmother's residence in the backyard.
My uncle served as the General of the Central Army in the Jinwu Guard, and the general of the Jinwu Guard, Hu Biao, was a general brought up by my grandfather.
So my uncle asked General Hu to write a letter to the emperor, requesting that Lu Qiaonan be removed from his position as commander of the imperial guards?
Although she was not familiar with the affairs of the court, she had read the Records of the Great Yong Dynasty and vaguely knew that the current emperor had no real power.
The Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun were both among the most distinguished aristocratic families in Dayong. The Wang family of Langya was particularly prominent, as their ancestors co-founded the Dayong Dynasty with Emperor Gaozu. Therefore, since the founding of Dayong, every empress of the Yong Dynasty has been from the Wang family of Langya.
This can easily lead to the monopoly of power by external relatives.
The Dayong Dynasty has had this chronic disease since its establishment. During the reign of the previous emperor, Emperor Wenzong, the power of the foreign relatives almost reached its peak. The previous emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaohui, was in charge of government affairs. In order to consolidate her power, Empress Dowager Xiaohui appointed people based on personal relationships, and half of the officials in the court had the surname Wang.
As for those whose surnames were not Wang and who had made no contributions, they were suppressed and demoted, while the meritorious officials were given to the descendants of the Wang family as wives or concubines for surveillance and control. Therefore, all the people in the court followed the lead of Empress Dowager Xiaohui. Even when the late emperor came of age, Empress Dowager Xiaohui did not return power to Emperor Wenzong.
In the history of Dayong, Wenzong was the most cowardly emperor in all dynasties. During his reign, he did not even have the power to appoint and dismiss personnel in the court.
But no one expected that such a cowardly emperor would suddenly instigate a palace coup when he was dying, using himself as bait to summon the Wang family into the palace.
The next day, Wenzong died suddenly in Taiji Palace.
At the same time, Empress Dowager Xiaohui passed away.
The then prime minister, the head of the Wang family, and several Wang family members who held important positions in the court all died in the palace.
The prince ascended the throne.
That is the current emperor.
The emperor used lightning speed to remove most of the officials with the surname Wang from the court. Although the Wang family lost the Empress Dowager Xiaohui and a large number of core disciples, and suffered heavy losses, its foundation was still intact.
After handing over half of the power, he was finally able to protect himself.
The emperor also got a chance to breathe, but he was still controlled by the Wang family on many major issues, especially the fact that the current Queen Wang gave birth to the Prince of Qi, which made the Wang family have the potential to make a comeback.
As for Xie...
Not only Xie, but also concubines from the Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, and Lanling Xiao families, each had a prince.
Several princes were fighting against each other in the court, but the emperor was reluctant to appoint a crown prince. Instead, he made all his sons kings.
This made the struggle between the princes and the forces behind them even more intense.
In his previous life, Yan Qing didn’t quite understand the emperor’s intentions.
But in this life, she sees it clearly.
Whether it is the Xie family of Chenjun, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang or the Xiao family of Lanling, I am afraid they are all a deception of their emperor, and are deliberately cultivated as pawns to compete with the Wang family.
I'm afraid that after what happened with Emperor Wenzong, the emperor will no longer allow any relatives to interfere in state affairs, so the heir he really wants is not any prince in the court, but Gu Huaizhou who is now hiding in Yan Mansion.
Although Yan Qing didn't know why Gu Huaizhou ended up among the people and became the cousin of the Yan family, no matter it was the emperor's will or the outcome of the succession struggle in his previous life, Gu Huaizhou was the ultimate winner.
He is the man at the pinnacle of power.
So after being reborn, Yan Qing's first thought was to get on Gu Huaizhou's boat no matter what. However, she didn't expect...
"I remember everything that happened that night."
Gu Huaizhou’s words are still ringing in my ears.
Yan Qing was embarrassed and uneasy, her cheeks burning and numb. She thought Gu Huaizhou helped her win the Fugui Casino in order to gain the support of the General's Mansion. She didn't expect it was because of her that night...
She found it difficult to talk about what happened that night.
Just want to forget it quickly.
But Gu Huaizhou mentioned it in front of her...
If it was someone else, she would have turned hostile and kicked the person out of the carriage, but it was Gu Huaizhou.
He is someone she cannot afford to offend.
Not only must she not offend others, she must also work hard to maintain good relationships.
So even though she was so ashamed that she wanted to die in the carriage, she couldn't do anything to Gu Huaizhou. In the end, she even had to thank him and let the coachman take him back home...
It feels like there is a fishbone stuck in your throat, unable to go up or down, it's uncomfortable but you have to hold it in.
Yan Qing was extremely upset!
At this time, she had already walked to her grandmother's Shou'an Hall. She raised her hand and patted her cheek, took a deep breath, raised a bright smile and walked in: "Grandma——"
"Bah!"
