Lianxing spoke up: "The fourth day of the seventh month, will we use my sister's birthday as the date of her ascension to the throne?"
On days like those, unless Bao Hongxian herself was free, Yaoyue would always make time to come to Yushui City, no matter how busy she was.
Hearing Yaoyue's urgent tone, Lianxing first shook her head, then turned to look at Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "Back then, Zhu Youshi established the Dragon Guard Manor not to collect evidence of corruption or harm by officials of the entire Ming Kingdom, but it was precisely because of those evidence that Zhu Youshi was able to rise from an obscure prince to a position of immense power in just a few years."
"Within the imperial court, after the rule of Zhu Youshi and Yuan Tiangang, the military power has not yet been consolidated. The only problem that has not been solved is the deeply entrenched aristocratic families in the capital."
When Dongfang Shibai's gaze shifted to Yaoyue's lower body, Yaoyue raised her chin again and let out a heavy "humph" through her nose.
Li Chunfeng said, "After all, being in this position for a long time, it's inevitable that you'll get tired of those things. When you're more relaxed, I'll come to your place for a vacation. Then, if those two have something to do, they can fight less to vent their frustrations, and things will naturally get better."
Whether Dongfang will be defeated or return, Yaoyue is not worried.
In response, Bao Hongxian said, "Don't worry! As things stand, Cao Zhengchun hasn't been lying about the dragon vein. With your current strength and the poison you've applied to Cao Zhengchun, things are still under control."
Within these deep palace walls, whenever Yaoyue had a moment of leisure, all she could think about was everything outside Li Chunfeng's courtyard.
"Without these incriminating pieces of evidence, it wouldn't have been difficult for Yuan Tiangang to deal with these powerful clans. However, Yuan Tiangang left those powerful clans to him instead of taking action because he wanted to fill the vacancies in the court with those powerful clans."
As for Xiao Yin Ji's current situation, Yao Yue has naturally encountered quite a bit of trouble as well.
In response, Li Chunfeng said, "In terms of the martial arts world, there are only seven top forces left in Xiaoming's country: his Yihua Palace, Situ's Shenshui Palace, Wudang Sect, and Shenjian Manor."
The worst outcome would be to create a situation where "the king's heart is as deep as the sea, and others can only guess at it."
"After the New Year, have Bai Xiaosheng send those documents to him. At that time, he can decide whether to dismiss or retain those powerful families and officials. Even without Zhuge Zheng, you and Qu Feiyan, as long as you can fill those vacancies, those things will take less time."
Upon learning the reason for her situation, Yaoyue suddenly felt distressed when she discovered that Dongfang had suffered the same fate as her.
"And he and Zhu Youshi are the same. There are no enemies in the court who can oppose him. In addition, he has military power in his hands, so he does not need to be too cautious in his actions. He also uses the same kind of leverage as Zhu Youshi to control the officials in the court."
Dongfang Shibai, who is in charge of the minor Yin Ji, has fewer things to consider and less pressure than Yaoyue.
"Without a top-level force taking the lead, will there be any problems with the underworld in Xiaoming Kingdom?"
Li Chunfeng said calmly, "Also, after all, Xiao Yinji has a lot of troubles to deal with, so it will take some time to handle them. It might be a little later!"
Before Yaoyue walked to the desk and casually picked up Bao Hongxian's wine glass to take a few more sips, her gaze unconsciously swept over the area under the table.
Before Yaoyue could finish her thought, she asked, "Does he mean that you should take advantage of that incident to get rid of these powerful families in the capital?"
Li Chunfeng did not disturb her, but instead picked up the wine pot, refilled her cup, and quietly kept Yaoyue company.
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue looked at Li Chunfeng beside her, her eyes seemingly devoid of any inquiry.
"Did you notice when you were distracted?"
Ten breaths later, as the group waited, a figure dressed in a flowing black fairy dress slowly passed through the layers of white snow in the snow-filled sky and landed in the courtyard.
When she saw the manuscript under the table, Yaoyue raised her eyebrows again, took a few steps forward, picked up the manuscript that Bao Hongxian had written that afternoon, and sat down next to Bao Hongxian, leaning against Li Chunfeng as she read it.
If you have a mental illness, vent it out, then relax and it will naturally disappear.
Since we're going to throw mud at you anyway, we might as well do it thoroughly.
Naturally, for a monarch, every word and action must be carefully considered. Even when facing the actions at hand, one must see beyond the surface to the deeper essence, so as to avoid being misled and doing something wrong.
Unfortunately, the moment Yaoyue's gaze fell upon Lianxing, Yaoyue herself realized what was happening and quickly concealed her aura.
If we're to say that no profession has occupational diseases, then the occupational diseases of an emperor are only two: mental illness and physical illness caused by overwork.
"The centuries-old operations of those powerful families have resulted in the planting of their own people throughout the country, making them a cancer in the nation. If this problem is not addressed, the country will inevitably revert to the old pattern of mutual protection among officials."
When they learned that Cao Zhengchun had actually visited Li Chunfeng, both Dongfang Shibai and Yaoyue couldn't help but show surprise.
In response to Bao Hongxian's question, Yaoyue said, "Without Zhuge Zheng and Qu Feiyan's assistance, plus the actions of the court officials he recommended to you during that period, the court officials of Xiaoming Kingdom are still not in trouble. Before the new year, Qu Feiyan will also arrange for people from the Eastern Depot to spread some rumors in secret to boost your momentum and prepare for your ascension to the throne."
Rarely, when a person is in a low position, in addition to enjoying the immense power, they will also experience loneliness and isolation because of their low position.
