The princes in the court fought for power and favor, and the ministers criticized and bit each other.
In the smoky court, no official was clean and everything was basically checked. Si Yiluo was in the center of the whirlpool and never paid attention to anyone's attempts to win over him. However, he was accused and assassinated.
She happened to show up and did a favor.
If she hadn't taken action, she would have been able to get away with her ability. She really just helped her out of admiration when she was in trouble.
But she protected her to ascend to the throne of the queen. In this life, she protected her and returned to the capital to plan for her.
My friend always just keeps his head down when doing things and rarely asks for credit.
"Then he can't bully you like this! I took advantage of him, and you didn't feel sorry for him!"
She believed that Si Yiluo was sincerely assisting Zhou Zhan and serving the country and the people, so she felt wronged for her.
Si Yiluo advised: "Don't cause any estrangement between you and your husband because of my affairs. I won't interfere with your plans, and you don't have to do anything that outweighs the gains and losses just because you feel wronged for me."
"Tolerating temporary anger does not mean that you will not take revenge. There is no need to show it on your face if you hate someone. If you are angry now, it can become a bargaining chip in negotiations in the future. You should know this better than me. I'll leave first.
Already."
In the officialdom, there are only eternal interests. Personal gain or loss of face is not important. It depends on what can be exchanged in the end.
No one has ever said these words to her. Shen Moran was injured all over her body after a fall in her last life, but she has become a little more sober in this life.
The shadow of the candle flickered.
Si Yiluo appeared in Zhou Zhan's study.
"Your Highness, please don't take today's matters to heart."
Today, Wei Heyan trampled his face to the ground, and a prince actually wanted to humble himself in front of an eunuch!
Zhou Zhan played with the jade paperweight and raised his eyebrows: "You came to see me just because of this? If I can't bear this tone, I will die many times in these years..."
His tone was mocking, Si Yiluo paused, took out the list from his arms and handed it to him.
"Gongxichun assassinated the envoy of the Northern Liao Dynasty with the intention of sabotaging the peace negotiation between the two countries. He was killed in the imperial edict. His wife Shang also committed suicide by taking poison, leaving only Gongxiyun who had no knowledge of it."
"Today someone wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that the subordinate took the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge and framed Gong Xichun. Anyway, there is no evidence to prove it, and one mouth can turn right and wrong."
Zhou Zhan's eyes fell on the folded paper and his tone was calm: "What is this?"
Si Yiluo unfolded the list and looked into his eyes.
"These are the people who impeached this low-ranking official. Are there any of His Highness's people inside?"
Zhou Zhan glanced at it and said warily: "What do you want to do? Are you here to investigate?"
Among the ministers who impeached Si Yiluo, most of them were loyal ministers and direct ministers of the Qing Dynasty. Although Emperor Yao was able to suppress the impeachment twice, these people had great influence in both the government and the opposition.
Among them...of course there are his people.
The air was silent, and Si Yiluo suddenly smiled.
"Your Highness is a good man."
At first she didn't care about the memorials impeaching her, but now it seems that these memorials will gradually define her as a traitor!
Is there any connection between the rumors about her in the market and the court officials who are now impeaching her?
Si Yiluo asked directly: "Is Xie Yun one of His Highness?"
Zhou Zhan narrowed his eyes and suppressed the magnificent waves that were about to burst out from his eyes in the bottom of his heart.
"yes."
His voice is deep.
Si Yiluo had the answer in his mind. Qingliu, headed by Xie Yun, wanted to find an opportunity to enter the court, but the person behind the scenes who wanted to tear Si Yiluo down needed a gunman. The two sides hit it off immediately.
"Does Your Highness know that this is seeking skin from a tiger?" Si Yiluo exposed it unceremoniously, "At first, he wanted to preserve his power and fade out of the court, but now he wants to come back. However, as everyone knows, the situation in the court changes rapidly.
Coming back is like going to heaven."
"And someone who has not been in the court for a long time can figure out the situation in the court just by relying on a few words from others? Your Highness is too naive..."
Si Yiluo is obsessed with the authorities. He has lived two lifetimes and has long understood the situation of the government. He can interpret every word and action of everyone.
The information he obtained was most likely deliberately misleading.
Afraid that he would not be able to control her in the future, he laid the groundwork in advance, followed the trend, and defined her as a traitor. When he came to power, he could justifiably get rid of her.
The emperor's strategy has begun to be laid out now. Si Yiluo admires this method and temperament.
"Your Highness does not need to trust me." Si Yiluo said word by word, "Your Highness can also grow slowly, but you must not make any mistakes on the way to the throne. One step will lead to an abyss of eternal destruction..."
Si Yiluo stepped back and saluted.
"As a minister, if the master makes a mistake, the minister will point it out. If the master refuses to listen, the minister will persuade him until the master is willing to listen. Your Highness, please don't get involved in this matter and leave it to your subordinates! I hope that Your Highness will handle it.
Tell who disclosed the information, this person is the key to the case."
Zhou Zhan was silent for two breaths and then asked: "Does Sun En's family murder case and Lingyin Pavilion arson case have anything to do with this matter?"
What he wanted to ask was what was the truth about the cases that Si Yiluo had handled.
Si Yiluo shook his head and said: "The real culprit has not been caught yet, but we have some clues. There is a Beiliao agent in the lower official's house. He is under the nose of the official. I believe the murderer will be found sooner or later."
She suspected that those two cases were related to Beiliao, and told Zhou Zhan clearly about her suspicions.
"Also, there is one more thing to remind His Highness that the Northern Liao royal family may have been in chaos. Therefore, the people behind Gong Xichun may also be related to the Northern Liao."
The situation in the court affects the whole body. Many things cannot be explained clearly by simple relationships on the surface. Desire and greed behind the scenes will complicate simple things.
Zhou Zhan's chips and manpower are limited, and the information he can find cannot be compared with Si Yiluo's. The truth that can be found is often not necessarily the truth.
Si Yiluo knew that the news she had released tonight would be enough to dispel Zhou Zhan's concerns, and he did not want to push it too far, so he clasped his fists and said, "If your highness has any instructions, you can send someone to send a message to the official. I will retire first."
.”
She couldn't force Zhou Zhan, leaving enough time for him to think about the pros and cons. After she left, a man came out of the room.
This person was wearing a scholar's uniform with a blue shirt, his hair was tied behind his head with a square scarf, and he was playing with a folding fan in his hand.
"What do you think, Mr. Su?"
Su Mu smiled and said: "We will use this matter to test the emperor's attitude, test Si Yiluo's loyalty, and test the true intentions of the person behind it. We will kill three birds with one stone, which is great."
Zhou Zhan laughed and said, "I mean, what does Mr. Su think of Si Yiluo?"
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"This woman has a delicate mind, is calm and wise, and has a measured advance and retreat. It would be a headache to be against her, but if she were one of our own, she would be even more powerful for us. Every move we make is seen by her.
She neither used this as a threat nor betrayed you out of dissatisfaction, but came to teach you a lesson."
"Su feels that maybe he can be trusted."
Sometimes the relationship between people depends entirely on feelings. Si Yiluo has a magical power in her body. The sensitive and suspicious Yao Emperor dared to hand over Jin Yiwei to her, which shows his trust in her.
She turned to them, and although her behavior was questionable, in the end, she was able to convince them to try to trust her.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. No matter what her purpose is, once word spreads about her cooperation with us, given the Emperor's suspicious temperament, I'm afraid it will be doomed."
"Unless she is sent by the emperor to test you..."
Zhou Zhan shook his head in denial.
"No, if she was really of the same mind as my father, she would not have sent Jueming here. My father has laid out the plan. She doesn't need to do anything. She just needs to wait to collect my body and she will gain his favor.
She didn't do that."
"So, she should not be from my father. And a woman like her would not bother to conspire with anyone to kill me."
He admired the character of a woman who could purify the court and make the world clean and peaceful.
"Stop testing Si Yiluo with dirty tricks in the future. I have decided to believe her."
