Chapter 81: Methods
The palace of the second prince Min Ruoying is now the most lively place in Shangjing. With the ban on Prince Min Ruocheng, the dispute over the crown throne between the two princes has come to an end. Min Ruoying won a great victory because there are only two princes in the Min royal family, and Min Ruoying's rise to power has become a foregone conclusion.
Those who burned the wrong incense and worshiped the wrong temple in the past had to make up for their previous mistakes, which also made the streets outside the royal palace full of people who wanted to come to the mansion to pay homage to each other every day.
Although it was too late, it was better to come than not to come, at least it showed an attitude.
Min Ruoying naturally disdains this kind of person. Even if he ignores them and doesn't look at them directly, they will crawl at their feet like a pug. With a wink, they will rush over and bite the person they want them to deal with, and use other people's blood to exchange for their appreciation for them. There are too many such people and they will never be short of them.
On the contrary, those who are really useful to them and have great skills do not want to flatter themselves even if the dust is settled now, such as Yang Yihe.
Yang Yihe left today.
This made Min Ruoying particularly annoyed. Min Ruoying felt that she was not a narrow-minded person. Even though Yang Yihe had vigorously protected her elder brother in front of the emperor and resigned from office because of this, as long as Yang Yihe was still in Shangjing, she would still use him. After all, Yang Yihe was the leader of the civil servants of the Great Chu, and his political achievements in governing the Great Chu over the years are obvious to all. Even though the emperor's health has been deteriorating in the past two years and the two princes' competition for the throne is becoming increasingly fierce, the entire political situation is still quite stable. This cannot be said to be the credit of the left prime minister. Therefore, Min Ruoying felt that after he ascended the throne, he would still be unable to live without him in a short period of time. As long as Yang Yihe was willing to lower his arrogant head and help him stabilize the political situation, he would be willing to give him a happy ending.
But Yang Yihe left. This was an attitude, an attitude that would never compromise with him, which made Min Ruoying very angry.
The study room was messy, and the angry Min Ruoying almost smashed everything in the study room.
"Your Highness calms down, and you don't have to get angry for an old man who doesn't know the current affairs." Luo Liang sat on one side, calm and relaxed. "Your Majesty is right. In comparison, An Ruhai is more important."
"Can An Ruhai really use it with confidence?" Min Ruoying looked at Luo Liang and asked.
"Yes!" Luo Liang nodded, "An Ruhai is an important minister of the Great Chu, but from another perspective, he is a slave of the Min clan. He is loyal to the emperor and the Min clan. As long as His Highness sits on the dragon throne, his loyalty to His Highness will not be different from His Majesty now."
"Even if he knows the whole story?" Min Ruoying sat down.
"Yes. He is afraid of Your Highness, isn't this a good thing?"
"But he doesn't respect me. Maybe he still despises me in his heart." Min Ruoying's breath became thicker.
"Your Highness, you are determined to be a person like Emperor Li Qing. What you need is not only ambitions but also a broad mind. How many enemies under the command of Emperor Li Qing who fought with him in life and death and met with him in the end were not convinced by the emperor one by one. Now An Ruhai is afraid of you, but you have time to respect him in the future. When you let the banner of Da Chu fly in the world, can he still disrespect? Can you still think that what you have done in the past are wrong? These are the prices that those who achieve great things must pay." Luo Liang advised with a smile.
Min Ruoying nodded slightly, "The western border really needs someone like An Ruhai to take charge. After hearing what you said, I feel a lot more comfortable. The most hateful person is Yang Yihe. It's a pity that my father doesn't allow me to touch him. He treats the old minister kindly. Isn't it him?"
Luo Liang smiled, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has not been long. Can't you wait these days? Yang Yihe is the leader of civil officials, and most civil officials oppose you, so after you ascend the throne, you still need to establish your authority and make these people realize that you are different from Your Majesty, so Yang Yihe is naturally the best object."
"That's true, but it's hard to start! Wouldn't it be said that I'm revenge?" Min Ruoying said with some distress.
"Yang Yihe has been in charge of the court for many years. Does Your Highness really think that he is as clear as water and has no problem?" Luo Liang sneered: "In his position, whether he knows it intentionally or not, whether he knows it or not, if he wants to find his fault, it is a lot of people. As long as your Highness signales to guard the inner guard, they will naturally find countless iron evidence to prove that Yang Yihe is a corrupt official and a big borer in the court."
"Today An Ruhai went to see Yang Yihe off. The two have a good relationship. How could An Ruhai do this?"
"Your Highness has forgotten that by then, hasn't An Ruhai already gone to the western border to take office? Once the emperor and the ministers are, the inner guards will naturally be your superiors' heads." Luo Liang said.
Min Ruoying nodded slowly. "Yang Yihe, then I will pay a heavy price for today's departure."
"Your Highness, what is really difficult to deal with now is Your Highness." Luo Liang said: "Your Majesty's meaning is very obvious, that is, to close the case of the destruction of the Western Frontier Army, but the case cannot involve His Highness. This is contrary to our initial idea, and this matter cannot be delayed. We must do it now. How to give the court officials, give the people of the world, and how to explain the destruction of the Western Frontier Army is a problem. This is far from being explained by a word that Zuo Lixing commander."
"I already have an idea about this." Min Ruoying pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Luo Liang, "General Luo takes a look at this."
"Princess Zhaohua returns safely? This is really good news." Luo Liang glanced through the contents on the paper with a glance, applauded and laughed: "When Li Zhi took action himself to hold Princess Zhaohua, Luo knew that he was not strong enough and could not protect the princess. He retreated regretfully, and he was really ashamed of Your Highness."
Princess Zhaohua Min Ruoxi, who is the same mother as the second prince Min Ruoying, naturally has deep feelings.
"General Luo doesn't have to blame himself. You are also for my own good. But good people will be rewarded. Hahaha, Li Zhi took action personally and even let Xi'er escape safely. This is really a blessing and fate. If Li Zhi really captures Xi'er and takes away Xi'er, I will blame myself." Min Ruoying said happily.
"It seems that Qin Feng, who escorted the princess all the way back, is really a great hero. Your Highness must reward him well! This is a powerful general." Luo Liang said with a smile.
Min Ruoying looked at Luo Liang, but her expression became a little subtle. She stared at Luo Liang without making any sound.
Luo Liang was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, but suddenly woke up, "Your Highness, it turns out that the solution you came up with is to die-hard camp?"
"Yes, it's just a death camp!" Min Ruoying showed a ferocious look on her handsome face.
