Yan Shiyue went to the Queen's place. When she came out, Jiahe stepped forward and reported: "Master Xiao Yan said he wanted to see you."

Yan Shiyue strolled over. The weather was neither too cold nor too hot, so the two of them found a small open pavilion to talk.

Yan Shirui said to her, "That Qu Sinian, did he come to see you today? What is your relationship with him?"

"Oh!" she said, "He volunteered to be my military advisor."

She learned from him what he said at that time, including the sentence in which he evaluated him.

Yan Shirui was a worrier to begin with. As he listened to her, his expression became increasingly speechless. He stared at her and said, "He came to recommend himself, and you just hired him?"

"No!" She said confidently, "Didn't I use it after I verified that what he said was right?"

"What does that mean?" Yan Shirui said, "There are only a few ways, I can guess it! And if he was instructed by someone, wouldn't his guess be more correct? You are too careless!"

Yan Shiyue said mysteriously: "Anyone in this world can use it, it all depends on how you use it."

Yan Shirui chuckled: "I believe what the emperor said, but I don't believe it when you say it. Just tell me directly, what is your plan? Are you going to use the emperor's trick against you?"

...

...

"No," she said, "Why make it so complicated? He is just a military advisor. He doesn't follow me every day. He is not A or the others. Who is he? Is he good or bad? Is there anyone who is instructing him? Is it so important?"

"Is it that important?" Yan Erlang almost roared, "This is very important! This is very important!"

Yan Shiyue was almost dying of laughter at his words.

She stood up, pressed his shoulders, and pushed him to sit on the bench: "But I didn't listen to what he said. Don't you have to meet all kinds of people in the court? Are they all good people? Do you have to check every one of them? Don't you have your own judgment?"

He said: "How can this be the same!"

"What's the difference? They are all outsiders!"

Yan Shirui stared at her for a long while, and suddenly understood what she meant.

Yan Shiyue’s idea is that people who work closely with her, such as Wei Xin and Jia He, must be her own people, because when she is at home, she is in a relaxed and defenseless state, so there must be no "outsiders" or "bad guys".

But to her, Qu Sinian was just like those people in the court, an "outsider". Just because the place of the conversation was different didn't mean anything.

Yan Shirui tried to summarize it for her, and Yan Shiyue nodded repeatedly: "Second brother is really smart, that's what I mean."

Yan Shirui said: "But I still don't understand, what's the point of you doing this? Why do you need such a person?"

"Because he can analyze it for me!" Yan Shiyue said, "Someone came to me and taught me about the hidden rules of the imperial court without spending any money. Why should I refuse? Even if the incident is fake, the knowledge is real!"

She paused and said, "I am a very rigorous person. I have precise divisions for the people around me."

She drew her arm around her. "For example, you are family and relatives, the kind that share everything. Another kind is friends, like Mr. Xu, with whom we can speak freely and help each other when something goes wrong. But this person is just a superior and a subordinate! We will never be familiar with each other and will never be polite. He can never make requests to me, and he can never get to know me well... So, what loss does this have for me? When I feel that he is no longer needed, I will kick him away!"

She pretended to kick her feet, then looked at him with her hands behind her back, looking very cool.

Yan Shirui held his forehead and looked at her for a long time, then shook his head helplessly and smiled.

Then he said, "Well, it's not without benefits to have such a person around. At least that party can be temporarily quieted down. Just keep it in mind. Does Jing know about this?"

"I know!" she said, "A Jing was there when he came to recommend himself!"

"Okay," Yan Shirui stood up, took two steps, and sat back down, saying, "You made me so upset that I forgot what I was going to say. I saw Qu Sinian talking to Zhang Zhizhi, so I came over to ask you."

Little Fox Yan gave her a brief update on the situation in the court.

For example, in addition to Lin Fujian’s Lin Party, there is also Yu Junwang Jin Hejiao’s Jin Party. Zhang Zhizhi is Jin Hejiao’s disciple.

But after all, the current situation is that the emperor is strong and the ministers are weak, so more people can be called the "imperial party", such as the right prime minister Xu Mingxiu, the second assistant of the cabinet Sun Xuancheng, the Prince of Chun, and so on.

Yan Shiyue thought to herself that Prince Chun was the emperor's man! Why did he marry such a wife?

At the same time, she thought that when Qu Sinian told her about it, he seemed to have deliberately downplayed the existence of the Jin Party... hehe...

As he was talking, he saw Ma Yi coming over, and Yan Shirui left. Ma Yi came over and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, the Emperor said that the censors have impeached you a lot in the past two days."

She sent people to surround the courtyard where the people from the Ministry of Justice lived, so the censor started to criticize her since yesterday.

After all, she was a princess and lived with the empress and others. She could enter the side where the court officials lived, but the court officials could not enter the side where they lived, so she would definitely bother Emperor Mingyan.

Yan Shiyue said: "Tell Aye to help me for another day, and I will solve this matter tomorrow morning."

Ma Yi bowed and withdrew.

The next morning, Yan Shiyue went there as expected.

There is no need to attend court here. Emperor Ming Yan just summons people to discuss matters, and then those who want to see him wait for the opportunity to see him.

As soon as she went over, she saw several imperial censors waiting outside. When they saw the main person coming, they immediately surrounded her and scolded her.

To be honest, she has always felt that these censors are full of enthusiasm for work all the time, and when they criticize others, they are so genuine and indignant!

Yan Shiyue was dressed in an official uniform, looking very dignified.

She listened to him for a few words with her hands behind her back, then asked, "I'm investigating a case and I'm afraid the secrets will be leaked, so I asked people to surround that area. What's wrong with that?"

"Of course it's inappropriate!" The censor said, "All the people in the court are officials appointed by the court. How can they be treated as prisoners?"

Yan Shiyue said: "What do you mean by treating them as prisoners? I've already said that I was afraid of leaking secrets... When the imperial examinations were held, the examination halls were also closed. Was that also treating them as prisoners?"

The censor was speechless: "How can the two be compared?"

"Why not?" She said, "It's all to prevent leaks!"

Another censor said, "The two seem the same, but they are actually very different. During the joint examination, examiners are temporarily transferred and the examination hall is sealed off so that they can concentrate on setting questions and marking papers, and prevent them from returning home and being disturbed, or accidentally leaking information... But at this time, the Ministry of Justice is the place in charge of laws and criminal laws, and the so-called "investigation of cases" by the Prime Minister is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. The Prime Minister did not discuss with his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice, but instead locked them up. Isn't this a clear distrust of them? If this is not "treating them as prisoners", then what is it?"
