Xu Shouyun was slightly startled by the sound of the system.

But he soon regained his composure.

Follow Wang Gui and leave.

Walking out of the prison yard, the scenery inside the palace comes into view. The Wei Palace as a whole is much more grand than the Forbidden City in the previous life. The city wall alone is nine feet high.

Standing in a place like this, people will look particularly small.

The red walls and green tiles are the style of this palace, but it gives people a dull feeling.

"Master Xu, how did you meet His Majesty?"

Wang Gui stood next to Xu Shouyun, with a smile on his face.

"On the second day after entering the palace, I really couldn't sleep at night. I took a few steps outside and met a figure."

"To put it bluntly, this figure is covered in golden light, which makes him stand out from the crowd at first sight."

"I boldly stepped forward to say hello, but I didn't expect that it was Her Majesty the Empress."

"It's good luck."

Xu Shouyun smiled and said, he had seen the Empress of Wei, so he could only deal with it with nonsense.

"So it turns out that Mr. Xu is truly blessed and is appreciated by His Majesty."

Wang Gui smiled and spoke, but he didn't believe Xu Shouyun's nonsense.

As the two walked forward, Wang Gui's voice continued to sound: "Master Xu, you have just entered the palace. In fact, the rules in the palace were also discussed during the training period."

"I won't talk about the big principles. I'll just tell Master Xu about the situation in the palace."

Wang Gui smiled and spoke.

Xu Shouyun nodded. The rules in the palace are nothing more than to walk softly, speak carefully, be cautious in doing things, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, and don't say what you shouldn't say.

If you keep your mouth shut and do things well, there will basically be no problem. Unless you are really unlucky and unhappy when you meet the dowagers, otherwise, there is really no big problem.

"Please speak out, Mr. Wang."

Xu Shouyun listened carefully.

The latter doesn't hide his secrets.

"Sir, since the death of the late emperor and His Majesty's accession to the throne, there has been no new concubine in the harem. In other words, the person in charge of the harem is the Queen Mother."

"Then there are three concubines, Concubine Wu, Concubine Zhou, and Concubine Su. These three concubines are the concubines of the late emperor. They have great power behind them and are second only to the Queen Mother in this deep palace."

"Master Xu is now favored by His Majesty. As long as he does not touch the three concubines and the Queen Mother, he will be safe and sound in this palace."

Wang Gonggong briefly explains the current division of power in the Wei court.

The Queen Mother, the three late emperors’ noble concubines.

Xu Shouyun wrote down these three noble concubines. As for the Queen Mother, to be fair, with her current status, how could she come into contact with this level of existence?

"Your Excellency, you are very lucky. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the palace has become much more peaceful. When the late Emperor was here, I was walking on thin ice and was on tenterhooks day and night."

Wang Gui sighed and praised Xu Shouyun for his good luck, not only because Xu Shouyun was favored by the emperor, but more importantly because the environment in the palace had improved a lot.

Xu Shouyun understands this.

The palace was filled with the emperor's concubines. When women were together, they were jealous and wanted to tie the emperor to their side.

But things are different now. The emperor is a woman and will not add concubines. As for male favors, the country is in a state of crisis.

How is it possible to have a group of male favorites? Such career-minded women usually only start to feel lonely, empty and cold in their forties.

It's true to say that, without jealousy, there will be fewer fights, and being a eunuch and maid will also reduce a lot of pressure.

"Besides these three concubines, is there anything else we should pay attention to?"

Xu Shouyun asked.

"There are two young princes who need attention."

Wang Gui reminded.

"Young prince?" Xu Shouyun was surprised this time. In the palace, except the emperor, who would dare to enter the palace if there is an emergency? Not to mention the young prince, not even the prince.

"Yes, Prince Qin and Prince Yan often come to the palace to visit relatives. If you see these two young princes, you must avoid them."

"Especially King Xiao Qin, many slaves have died in the hands of King Xiao Qin. Although your Excellency has received favor from the emperor, Your Majesty also treats these two young princes..."

When he said this, he fell silent.

Xu Shouyun suddenly fell silent. He originally thought that he would return to Zhao intact. In this huge palace, he was the only real man.

I didn’t expect that there are descendants of the prince who can come and go as they please?

Ma De, Xu Shouyun seemed a little disgusted in an instant.

Moreover, Xu Shouyun is not a child, how could he not guess what the prince’s young prince is doing when he comes in and out of the palace?

What kind of family visit is a lie to children, right?

This empress of the Wei Dynasty is really fatuous and incompetent. If an emperor has reached this level, he might as well just die.

It would be better for the Wei Dynasty to perish as soon as possible. Then he will be invincible and free and at ease.

Xu Shouyun’s innermost thoughts.

However, from a rational perspective, as a history teacher, Xu Shouyun knew very well what it meant for a woman to be an emperor.

Judging from various current intelligence, the route taken by the Empress of the Wei Dynasty was not to ascend the throne in a domineering manner, unlike Wu Zetian, who took control of the military and then ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor.

Instead, he ascended the throne.

According to various etiquette regulations, even if the late emperor only had one heir, the Empress of Wei, logically he should have selected a prince's son from the clan royal family to ascend the throne.

But in the end, the princess succeeded to the throne, and the political message in this was too strong.

Xu Shouyun can think of three levels at random.

At the simplest level, the empress of the Wei Dynasty was very capable, and she was by no means an ordinary person. She succeeded to the throne under the appointment of some ministers and the late emperor.

On a slightly more complicated level, those corrupt officials, powerful ministers and princes who choose the empress, especially the princes of various places, are far away.

If the princes in Kyoto seize the opportunity, their lives will be lost. It is better to promote the female emperor to the throne. Anyway, a useless emperor is worse than a tough emperor.

After all, the female emperor is not decent. As long as she becomes stronger, find a reason and an opportunity to attack the imperial capital. Who can stop her?

Finally, at a deeper level, there must be a shadow of the Chu Dynasty in this. If a useless emperor ascends the throne, the biggest beneficiary is the Chu Dynasty.

If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could accept the female emperor, would the people of the Wei Dynasty be willing to accept it?

There is no need to send one soldier or three thousand rogues to various places in the Wei Dynasty, and let them say some sarcastic words when there is nothing wrong.

Why is there such a thing as a woman becoming emperor?

In a huge country, a woman is the emperor? Family members, who understands?

The big Wuyuzi incident happened, family members!

With just a few tricks, public opinion can collapse and radiate to the court. When Wei falls, the people will not react too violently.

This is called attacking the heart first.

After remembering these pieces of information, the two of them had already walked to a small courtyard.

"Sir Xu, this will be your residence from now on. There are four rooms in total. The other three are already occupied by other father-in-laws. You will live here on the right."

"Go back and I will bring you some clothes and secret books. I live in the other courtyard next to you. If anything happens, please just give me your instructions."

The other party smiled.

But one sentence surprised Xu Shouyun.

"Secrets?"
