The Feng family is very aggrieved now. Although the eldest prince oversees the country, he is actually a target. Not to mention supporting the Feng family, the Feng family is also suppressed. Several major families are suppressing the Feng family. Not only can they not help the Feng family,
The prince and even himself cannot be protected.
They were also very excited after receiving Concubine Li's letter. This was a rare opportunity. If they could win over Zhen Guohou and the eldest prince could secure the throne, the Feng family would be able to turn around.
As for Yangdi, he had been unconscious for so long that he didn't even think he would wake up. He was still thinking about when he would die.
However, the Feng family sincerely came to visit, but was always rejected. They waited for many days, but did not even see the shadow of Zhen Guohou.
Li Fei also had a cousin who was 28 years old and very beautiful. She was as good as Li Fei when she was young. The Feng family finally found the trace of Zhen Guohou and quickly took the girl to meet him by chance. Unfortunately, Zhen Guohou
Never even glanced at them.
Concubine Li was all disappointed. It was impossible that the Marquis of Zhen Guo didn't know about their big commotion. The only possibility was that the Marquis of Zhen Guo was deliberately avoiding them.
Although he didn't want to have anything to do with the Feng family, he was at least willing to help the eldest prince, which was a comforting thing for her.
Zhao Yi did not wake up, and Zhao Zhuo and the others were unable to die. Although several parties fought for it, the military camp was controlled by the marquis of Zhen Guo, so the court could not be overthrown, and even stabilized due to this.
Of course, it is not without changes. During the last hunting, the assassin accidentally killed more than a dozen officials. Those officials were of high status. After they died, those official positions became popular. After several months of competition, the two parties finally got it.
The position is filled.
The final list fell into the hands of Ye Wanwan. There were people from several factions. Naturally, Ye Wanwan's help was indispensable. Two people from the Ye family branch came in, as well as several officials from poor families who were brought in to check and balance.
Zhao Yi suppressed the Ye family. Even if Ye Zhaoru had the intention, the branches of the Ye family could not climb up. Therefore, the Ye family has not been able to grow in recent years. Compared with the twenty or thirty members of the Leng family serving as officials in the government, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Ye Zhaoru couldn't let them climb up, but Ye Wanwan could. As long as they were obedient enough, it wouldn't be impossible to replace Ye Zhaoru in the end. If they didn't know how to climb up, she would let them fall down.
Of course, although Ye Wanwan ordered these people, she actually did not come forward personally, but handed them over to Yan Wu and Ye Shaoyang.
In addition, there is another person, Shangguan Xun.
Only when I really got to know the Shangguan family in Xizhou Prefecture did I realize that they were really a family that had been underestimated.
The ancestors of the Shangguan family were also members of a hairpin family that was granted the title of marquis and prime minister. If you really want to talk about it, the Leng family can be considered a rising star.
The people in the Shangguan family are really not that good now. Most of them are farmers, so simple that they can't be found in a crowd. However, even if the aristocratic family is in decline, its heritage and bloodline are still there.
There is a library in the Shangguan family, which contains the accumulated notes and notes of generations of Shangguan family members. When the Shangguan family was in decline, they did not take away any family property, but left behind those books.
Therefore, even the disciples of the Shangguan family who were farming were all literate, and several of them were famous teachers within a radius of dozens of miles.
It's a pity that the Shangguan family's connections have been cut off. Over the years, only one Shangguan Xun was sent to the court despite all efforts.
Ye Wanwan asked Jin Zi and Yuan Bao to go to Shangguan's house and send them information about Shangguan's family. Seeing those characters, Ye Wanwan seemed to see a big family that was about to rise.
She couldn't stand the Leng family. She didn't care who held the throne, but the Leng family must disappear from the court.
Everyone in Beijing thinks that the Leng family is a wealthy family with high integrity and noble morals, and its prestige exceeds that of other families. However, Ye Wanwan just can't stand them. After so many years, the Leng family should disappear.
Except for the Leng family, other families are not good either. They have been sitting in high positions for a long time, and they only know how to fight for power and gain. Many people occupy positions and have no idea what family, country and world are.
It's time for a family to stand up and teach these people how to behave.
Ye Wanwan knocked on the table and said, "Lin Zheng, go and bring someone over for me."
The person Ye Wanwan wanted to meet was naturally Shangguan Xun. It had been two years since the last meeting.
"I will pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Ye Wanwan was sitting in a bright red dress. The nine-tailed phoenix hairpin above her head was extremely gorgeous. The long tassels were slightly swaying. She leaned on the pillow with one hand, looking lazy and beautiful.
Bright eyes looked at Shangguan Xun: "Raise your head."
Shangguan Xun hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Wanwan. He didn't dare to look directly at her, but saw her curling her lips into a smile and hurriedly lowered her head.
Ye Wanwan laughed out loud: "Long time no see, Sir Shangguan looks a lot more mature and steady."
Shangguan Xun said quickly: "It's just a little more experience. I wonder what the imperial concubine Xuan's orders are?"
Ye Wanwan handed over the book with information about everyone in the Shangguan family: "Look at this."
When Shangguan Xun opened it and took a look, he was immediately shocked: "I wonder what your Majesty wants?"
Ye Wanwan stretched out her hand to take the book back and asked instead, "Are you still used to the position of Minister of Household Affairs?"
Shangguan Xun was able to work hard in the officialdom for so long, so he was certainly not a dull person. He quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you for your support, empress."
It was really too easy for him to climb up this time. He thought it was just an opportunity. He never imagined that the imperial concubine was behind it, adding fuel to the fire. This really shocked him.
Ye Wanwan smiled: "You are so smart that I find it rare."
Ye Wanwan knocked on the back of the chair: "Okay, I won't give you a pass. I asked you to come here just to give you a thorough explanation. From today on, you will have more contact with the eldest prince. Your official position is not enough, but you are
See it more clearly and give him more guidance.”
Shangguan Xun was surprised: "Is the empress going to help the eldest prince?"
Ye Wanwan curled her lips and said with cold eyes: "Yes and no, you don't have to think too deeply, just do as I say."
At this point, Ye Wanwan changed the topic and asked jokingly: "By the way, do you like the official positions of those in the Leng family?"
Shangguan Xun: "..." Why does this sound so dangerous?
She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Wanwan. This matter was dangerous, and the person in front of her seemed even more dangerous: "I like it."
This sentence is a double entendre, but unfortunately no one understands its meaning except him.
Ye Wanwan scolded: "You are very courageous."
His tone was scolding, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Okay, go down."
Suppressing the violent beating in his heart, he said, "I'm going to resign."
Shangguan Xun left, and Ye Wanwan only said half of what she said, in a fog, but for a smart person, half of what he said is enough.
The imperial concubine wanted to take the opportunity to support him, and even gave him the route, climbing up the Leng family's position.
He didn't dare to think about it, but the Imperial Concubine really dared to say it.
Although he didn't understand the deep meaning of the imperial concubine, he still understood that the imperial concubine didn't like the Leng family, and she didn't seem to like the eldest prince either. He didn't understand what the imperial concubine was going to do, but he knew what he should do.
