Therefore, they resolutely opposed Yun Li's ascension to the throne, fearing that he would repeat the mistakes of the past and once again push the Yun Dynasty into the abyss.
In the imperial court, the two factions argued endlessly, each expressing their own opinions.
The Great Xuan, the Imperial Study.
Zhao Yi asked Zhao Zhi what his opinion was on the matter.
Zhao Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "I would like to hear what my elder brother thinks about this matter first."
Zhao Yi gave his younger sister a meaningful look and smiled, "Zhizhi is more mature than before. She knows to find out what others are thinking first."
Zhao Zhi, embarrassed that Zhao Yi had hit the nail on the head, lowered his head and pretended to be looking at the memorial.
“Yun Li, after all, we are siblings.” Zhao Yi slowly turned around and looked out the window.
The moon, which had been obscured by clouds, slowly moved westward.
The moonlight was like silk, and the night was as still as water.
Zhao Zhi also got up from his desk and stood beside Zhao Yi, listening to him continue talking about what had happened in Yunchao recently.
As the court infighting intensified, the late Crown Prince Yun Li remained unusually calm and composed.
He raised the banner of "eliminating treacherous officials and restoring order to the court" and rose up in rebellion in the southern part of Yun Dynasty. He also had countless copies of his "Strategies for Governing the Country" made and scattered throughout the streets and alleys of Yun Dynasty.
Zhao Zhi looked at Zhao Yi and saw him take out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and slowly unfold it.
On it lay a detailed strategy for governing the country.
Zhao Yi handed the yellow silk to Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi took it as if it were a precious treasure and read it softly.
"...Strengthen central authority, weaken local power, and ensure the smooth implementation of government orders...Rectify officialdom, severely punish corruption, and select virtuous and capable officials...Develop agriculture, reduce taxes for the people, and let them live and work in peace and contentment...Strengthen national defense, resist foreign invasion, and ensure the long-term stability of the Yun Dynasty."
Seeing that Zhao Zhi had finished reading, Zhao Yi prepared to take the yellow silk back.
The moment Zhao Yi took back the yellow silk, Zhao Zhi subconsciously glanced at him, a forced smile playing on his lips, as if talking to himself or seeking confirmation from Zhao Yi, "Hehe, Your Majesty, this defense against foreign enemies is clearly not aimed at the people of our Great Xuan."
Zhao Yi's expression hardened, and he gently placed his hands on Zhao Zhi's shoulders, a serious glint in his eyes. "Zhizhi, your brother Yun Li is also an outstanding individual, possessing both wisdom and courage. I intend to join forces with him. Would you be willing to lend him a hand?"
Zhao Zhi was already incredibly excited inside, but her face remained calm. She thought to herself, "I didn't expect you to learn how to keep your emotions hidden so quickly."
“Brother, if you believe that helping Yunli will be entirely beneficial to our Great Xuan, then I am naturally willing to cooperate fully.”
“I will send a letter to Yunli explaining your identity. Also, Zhizhi, come closer to me.”
Zhao Zhi leaned in and listened to Zhao Yi's explanation, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Your Majesty's plan is brilliant."
