In the room on the second floor of the inn, Yuan Zhao looked at a clan emblem held by the man in black with both hands. There was an ancient text in the middle, Jiang.

The clan emblem of the Jiang family in Dongjun, something that a married woman should not have, now appears in the hands of someone sent by Empress Jiang.

"Is this from Dongzhou or Fengjing?" Yuan Zhao was curious.

For the sake of her son, Empress Jiang did not hesitate to fight against the indestructible mother clan. I don’t know whether to praise her for her courage or scold her for being selfish. My mother’s situation was so difficult back then, and she never dared to ask her mother clan to do anything.

Because she has the prestige of her mother's clan to support her, it is enough to maintain her dignity for the rest of her life. For Aniang, the standing mother's clan is the last way for her children to survive, not a tool for power struggle.

Just like Sixth Brother back then, he has been under strict protection since he entered Dongzhou Academy.

Due to Dongzhou Academy's firm stance of not interfering in the political affairs of various countries, the kings of various countries recognized the Academy's right to protect their students.

As long as the academy recognizes a student's identity, he/she can be protected.

Yuan Zhao thought that his cousin Jiang Lingyu and his mother-in-law, both daughters of the Jiang family, had the same views... Now it seems that this is not the case.

"Master asked me to tell you," the man in black refused to admit or deny, put away the clan emblem indifferently, and said in a low voice, "We are from the same lineage, you should not favor others. The king of Jin, surnamed Feng, will climb to the top in the future, weigh the pros and cons.

, you will be let down.

Even if you don't care about blood ties, I hope you won't interfere in the affairs of the Jin Dynasty. She has always admired the old lady and hopes that this family relationship can last for a hundred years."

Yuan Zhao: "..."

What she said is that she, Jiang Lingyu, cares about blood and family ties?!

Back then, when her mourning period was not over, she was forced to return to the capital by an oral edict and even hid in Tianxiang Tower. She sent someone to reveal it to a group of civil servants and historians, and she would reveal it at some point in the future and deal a fatal blow to her cousin.

It was extremely ironic that such a person would mention blood ties to her.

Yuan Zhao complained secretly, with a calm attitude and said calmly:

"I once swore an oath to the late emperor to be loyal to the Feng Dynasty in my life. I will help whoever the emperor orders me to help. Go back and tell your master, if you care about blood and family ties, don't use your brains against our clan. If she wins,

My position is self-evident."

She didn't expect these words to dissuade Empress Jiang from annihilating the Beiyue clan. At most, she could postpone it for a while. When the time came, in order to let her son ascend to the supreme position, she would make sure that she would even sacrifice her own father.

Regardless of right or wrong, this is a matter of stance.

After receiving her reply, the man in black respectfully retreated to the window and jumped into the dark night rain.

After confirming that he had left, Qinghe couldn't help but show up and asked:

"If Dongzhou Academy joins the dispute between the courts, wouldn't it be even more detrimental to His Highness?"

The scribe's pen and the samurai's sword should not be underestimated.

After all, Empress Jiang is the daughter of the Jiang family in Dongjun. In terms of closeness, your highness's granddaughter cannot compare to her.

"This person didn't answer directly because he wanted me to be confused about the Xuegong's position. He even mistakenly thought that Dongzhou was secretly supporting her and had some scruples." Yuan Zhao said, "That cousin of mine, you judge others by yourself.

, a lot of careful thoughts..."

With the support of the academy, can she be intimidated? The reason why she is unmarried and childless is what she is today. Without the ties of children, there is no weakness.

Even after her parents passed away, she had prepared for the worst. If she could save her family and the lives of her people, it would be good, but if she couldn't, it would be God's will and she couldn't blame anyone.

She swore that if the Feng clan did not kill her, she would be loyal to the Feng dynasty.

If Mrs. Feng kills her, no matter whether it is her cousin's child or someone else's child, she will not leave any one behind. If the person dies, what if he has the support of the academy? The academy participating in the court dispute is tantamount to taking the initiative to peel off that indestructible layer.

of armor.

Can a group of weak scholars stand up to the ruthless royal cavalry?

Just like the god who was pulled off the altar, he is no longer a god, but a demon or devil. Everyone can kill him, and death is not a pity.

If there is something to be done, there is nothing to do. She complies with the destiny and does everything she can to find a way out for her family and her people. God will kill God if they stand in their way, and people will kill if they stand in the way of others. The Academy is nothing more than a group of ants she encounters on her way to break through the siege.

She is a sharp spear carefully cultivated by her father. The reputation of the spear does not matter, the sharpness is the most important.

It was late at night, Yuan Zhao lay down undressed in front of the couch, closed his eyes, listened to the heavy pounding of rain on the tile roof, and lightly clasped the edge of the couch with his fingers.

Qinghe, who was sitting quietly and dozing next to him, frowned when he saw this:

"Your Highness, is there something you can't figure out?"

Unfortunately, in order to avoid suspicion, there is no one around His Highness to help with suggestions, which is very troublesome.

"No." Yuan Zhao still closed his eyes and clasped his fingers lightly, "It's windy and raining outside, and the night in Guyi is a bit cool. I'm sleeping in a cold quilt, and it's hard to sleep alone! Qinghe, what do you think, the history books will be written a thousand years later?

How do you evaluate me?”

Huh? Sending a proposition? Qinghe's eyelids twitched, he thought for a moment, then opened his eyes slightly:

"If you win, history books will praise you."

If she loses, the history books may not mention a word about her deeds. After all, a woman who was so treasonous and made the courtiers often beat their chests and beat their chests, get angry and have headaches, is dead, so why should she be brought up?

Yuan Zhao smiled, said no more, and fell asleep quietly to the sound of rain all night long.

I really want to see the world a thousand years from now! See if it is the same as in the dream, where women can stand upright in the court, call friends, and guide the country unscrupulously.

Unlike now, it is already difficult to just survive.

…

While walking and stopping, admiring the scenery along the way, he received an urgent secret letter from the Nanzhou County Magistrate. It turned out that when Luo Yan rescued him, he still had some consciousness and knew who saved him.

The other party was grateful for her repeated rescues and revealed to her the reason why that family was silenced.

It turned out that the woman in that family was the nurse of the Princess of Yanshu. One day, she accidentally found a clan emblem in the consort's study. The nurse had some knowledge and recognized it at a glance as belonging to the Beiyue clan.

totem.

She was so frightened that she crawled and fled from the study room, but she was still noticed by the prince-in-law...

According to the nurse's description, the prince-in-law was already in his early thirties. Therefore, the Nanzhou County Magistrate believed that Yuan Zhao might have an elder brother who was working as a prince-in-law in Yanshu.

To be honest, this news surprised Yuan Zhao.

Her brother is not in Yanshu, and the one from Yanshu is most likely the son of Anlehou she wants to track down. The men and women of the Beiyue clan are good-looking, so it is not surprising that they can marry a princess.

No wonder his whereabouts could not be found. It turned out that he had gone to Yanshu early in the morning and was still lurking in the royal court.

Yuan Zhao asked Qinghe to send secret guards back to Nanzhou and thank the county magistrate in person to confirm that he was the one who sent the news. After that, he ordered his informants in Yanshu to pay close attention to the movements of the consort.

The other party stayed in Yanshu and had the clan emblem of the Beiyue clan in their hands, which was indeed a great disaster to the people in Fengwu.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao had a headache.

…

In early November, Yuan Zhao and others returned to the capital. When they entered the palace to report to the emperor and chat with him, they learned that King Xin had returned to the capital.

King Xin, the sixth prince who guarded the mausoleum for three years.

Emperor Yongchang paid special attention to this brother, and he immediately made arrangements for his marriage as soon as he returned to Beijing. King Xin was twenty-seven this year. He was very upset about the death of the fifth prince, and he finally calmed down to discuss the marriage, but the late emperor passed away.

His life-long event has become a worry for Emperor Yongchang. Now that he has returned, his first priority is to get married.
