Chapter 231 Power
"It's good that you understand this. We have finally reached this point. It is absolutely impossible to look back, and we must never look back. No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we can only bite the bullet and move forward. Go on." The queen warned.
Leng Xiang nodded: "Please rest assured, Queen. I know that it has been wind, frost, rain and snow all the way to where we are today. It is not easy. After all, we finally have such a bright future, so we must cherish it."
The queen nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly the truth."
Leng Xiang said again: "Empress, do you want to send more people to monitor every move of the officials? Although we now seem to have the power and control the entire palace, I am afraid that the officials will not give up so easily. .”
"Now that the entire palace is under our control, even if the officials don't give up, there is nothing they can do, right?" The queen was not very worried about this.
Lengxiang shook her head and said disapprovingly: "Empress, you still think of things too simply. Although it seems that the official family has been controlled by us now and there is no way to contact outside forces, but think about it carefully It can be seen from Guan Jia's past behavior that he is not a person who gives in easily. In order to achieve great things and to eradicate dissidents, Guan Jia can bear the burden of humiliation and establish a mediocre and incompetent image for so many years, which is embarrassing to the whole world. Everyone believes that he is a A mediocre emperor. This kind of character is not something that ordinary people can possess. It can be said that officials are not only cruel to others, but also cruel to themselves. This kind of person is the most terrifying once he thinks about it. To achieve your own goals, you can give up everything, including everything you own. I think the Guan family is such a person. Although the housekeeper is now under our control, I heard from the two maids who oversee the Guan family. It’s not as decadent as it sounds.”
The queen's expression changed when she heard this. She sat upright and asked: "What do the concubines who have been waiting for the officials these days say?"
Leng Xiang said: "Those newly promoted concubines said that the officials have been obsessed with love affairs in the past few days, and they even said that they were even more excessive than before. It felt like the housekeeper was not aware of the changes in the situation in the palace at all, and was still doing whatever he wanted as before. , dissolute and luxurious. ”
"Did they say that the housekeeper is still the same as before?" The Queen frowned, "Are their words credible? Will they defect in the face of battle?"
"I don't think so. Those people are carefully selected by us and will definitely not disobey our orders, so what they say can be completely believed." Leng Xiang said.
The queen's frown deepened. She knew Li Jie very well, knowing him far better than anyone else. The two of them have been husband and wife for so many years, and although there was a period of time when they treated each other like guests, the queen was a delicate person. She had long ago noticed that the official was not as mediocre and incompetent as he appeared on the surface, but was actually very ambitious. , has an ambition to unify the world and eradicate dissidents, but Because the official family currently has many enemies, he not only needs to fight, but also needs to be in peace. He also has several brothers who are eyeing him with a dragon's chair under his butt, so the official family must be extremely cautious in their actions and not let them catch him. If you get the handle, you can't let them catch any mistakes or find an opportunity to overthrow you.
Therefore, the official family seems to be living a very free and unrestrained life, but in fact they live a cautious and timid life, fearing that if they do something bad, their brothers will catch them and overthrow them from the throne. . The housekeeper came up with a good idea, which was to use the queen as a raft, that is, to use her as his shield. In fact, the effect of what he did was very obvious. Now everyone in the building feels that the queen is ambitious and has extraordinary abilities. Instead, they ignore the officials standing behind the queen. In this way, everyone's attention has shifted to the queen. , including those brothers who were dissatisfied with the official family and regarded him as Dandan. They also turned their attention to the queen, feeling that the queen had now become an obstacle to their victory in the world.
The effect of the housekeeper's actions was immediate. Now all the people were fixated on the queen, paying attention to the queen's every move, but ignored the official's actions. Therefore, under such circumstances, officials have more freedom to recruit troops secretly and cultivate their own power. What he wants to do now is to wait for the snipe and the clam to fight and benefit from it.
The queen understood this exactly, so she tried a clever move against the official, but was mistaken by the official. She thought that he regarded the queen as his wife, but she never thought that she was the chess piece that the queen played with. As a chess player, the Queen always has a far-sighted vision, and now is no exception. Although she has always felt that her plan is very thoughtful and she is very confident in her judgment, the current situation is very complicated and she will fall into an endless abyss if she is not careful. Therefore, the queen has to think hard and think hard about everything she does now. She studied it carefully, fearing that a slight mistake would put him and all those who supported her into a desperate situation.
"If those concubines are not lying, then we must pay attention to the recent movements of the official family." The queen felt a little uneasy and said with her chin propped up.
"What's wrong? Queen, have you noticed it too? Is there something wrong?"
"That's right, these concubines don't talk about the recent state of the official family. It's the same as before, which is fine. As soon as they mentioned it, I felt that something was wrong. The current situation is precarious. In fact, as long as there is a little bit of care, people I can all tell that the atmosphere lately is very unpleasant. Satisfied, there was an invisible pressure everywhere. I think the official could definitely sense this strange atmosphere, but he didn't show it. Instead, he acted exactly like the bohemian child he was before. This shows that. Officials have already With all these trends in mind, he estimated that he was going to prepare for the next step. Guan Zi was not a careless person. On the contrary, his thoughts were very delicate and hidden extremely deeply. Even if he knew what he was doing now. If the situation is not right, it will not be easy If Yi shows off, he will only be subdued and wait until all his vision is sufficient before he will fight back. So based on these things, I think the housekeeper may be ready to fight back against us," the queen said worriedly. .
"But we have already controlled the palace very strictly. Even if the official family wants to resist us, how will he resist us? Not to mention that all the forces before the official family have been basically eaten away by us. , just looking at it now, the official family can’t even let out a fly, how could they release people to help him go to the outside? What about the power contacts? Although I also think that the official family may have a back-up plan, I really can’t think of what means the official family will use to resist our queen. You are knowledgeable and you are the person who knows the official family best. What do you think? What methods do you think the officials will use to resist and undermine us?" (End of Chapter)
