Yan Cheng thought of a list of available people he had developed and those he had passively snatched away from Qu Zhaoyue, and wrote a few letters.
A big reason why Yan Guangsheng was targeted by Qu Zhaoyue was because of him. Considering Yan Guangyi's surname was Yan, he couldn't just stand by and watch and do nothing.
After writing the letter and putting it aside, Yan Cheng's mind went blank for a moment.
He quickly thought of Qu Zhaoyue's weird behavior in recent years, which was completely unlike that of the protagonist, and his handsome brows frowned.
In the book, didn’t Qu Zhaoyue follow the path of a gentle and wise ruler before he ascended the throne?
How come he was so crazy as to join forces with Tangxi Lu to target several Daxia officials before, and now he is so crazy as to force the officials in his fiefdom to be loyal to him?

During this period, Emperor Jingxi may strengthen political centralization, frequently replace officials, and monitor court officials more closely.
They are also suspicious of the people around them.

As for the princes, there would be concerns that they would seek power and usurp the throne, so the emperor might try to balance the power among the princes, or directly suppress the princes who posed a threat.
At this time, if any prince showed a desire for power, he would definitely be disliked and vigilant by Emperor Jingxi.
Doesn’t Qu Zhaoyue understand this? Why does it seem like the older she gets, the less she knows how to keep a low profile?
Could it be that his extraneous presence has caused Qu Zhaoyue to have lowered her intelligence?
No way? He didn't do anything big!
