Chapter 187 Can a fragile body handle this?
Little Seven, Little Eight and Little Nine were all taken away.
After all, they are just children, and they feel sleepy after eating.
Qin Zhaoyue was still in the back hall, but there was no chattering around him.
The servants of Liuyuan Garden did not delay and brought the bamboo couch and ice jar.
Perhaps knowing her gluttonous nature, they specially served her iced sour plum soup and red claw honey cake to help with digestion.
It was still very hot in the afternoon. With the breeze brought by Mo Yida's fan, I fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
Qin Zhaoyue slowly opened his eyes as his spiritual altar was touched.
"You don't worry at all." A somewhat unpleasant voice came from my ears.
Qin Zhaoyue yawned and recognized the owner of the voice.
Yinzhe had indeed been lurking beside her, but had not shown up.
Since she couldn't find her, she naturally couldn't send a message, so she simply asked, "How's the situation up ahead?"
Mo Yi was about to reply.
She and Mo Er stayed closely beside the princess, while the remaining four were on guard outside as usual.
I thought he wanted her to send someone to inquire, but a slender figure suddenly appeared in front of me, it was Yinzhe.
"It's almost over. There are seven people who signed their names."
“Eh~~~”
Qin Zhaoyue sighed without any sincerity and stretched.
The life of eating and sleeping is indeed more suitable for her.
However, she did not expect that after all the efforts of her third and fourth sisters, they could only bring in three more people.
It seems that only a few people dare to break free from the shackles. After all, they are deeply influenced by their families and have too many concerns.
Even if the two sisters are well prepared, it will be difficult to change the situation overnight.
It is understandable. After all, from their perspective, family is naturally the most important thing.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't care whether they were willing to do so or were forced to do so.
"What is the position of the Duke of Zheng's Mansion?"
"I don't know."
Oh, what a coincidence! The captain of Xuanji Guard, who is in charge of supervising all officials, actually didn’t know.
Qin Zhaoyue lay there motionless, his eyelids slowly closed and gradually narrowed into a slit.
"The meeting ahead is about to end. Your Highness, should you start preparing?"
"Eh~~~" he said insincerely, "I don't think it's necessary. Let things take their own course this year and next year."
Yinzhe was not surprised that she could see through the inside story, after all, he had seen her performance during the disaster relief effort.
But this sudden change of mind... is he dissatisfied with her perfunctory attitude?
The perception covered the main hall, and it was indeed nearing its end.
Normally speaking, the two princesses’ plan was actually good.
Inviting talented women from all over the capital, seeing through some of His Majesty's intentions, communicating with four people in advance to obtain their promises, and persuading them according to their respective circumstances...
To have accomplished all this in one day and to have swayed seven people was already a good performance.
It is conceivable that they will continue to try after the literary gathering, and in the end there will be about a dozen people participating in the provincial examination.
only……
"Your Highness, there is still a difference."
The information that Xuanjiwei possesses is incomparable to that of others, not to mention that her situation as a captain is special.
Although there is no clear intelligence support, there is always a feeling that a storm is coming.
She was not a sorcerer and could not make any deductions, but she would not ignore the intuitive feedback unique to the Divine Martial Realm.
Perhaps His Majesty has also noticed something, which is why he suddenly expressed a tough attitude at this point.
Qin Zhaoyue spread his hands and said, "I don't know."
Yinzhe sighed.
Even if she knew the method, she still couldn't do it.
Xuanji Guard most directly represents His Majesty's attitude, and her actions are equivalent to following His Majesty's orders.
This is not allowed, and the Sixth Princess must be asked to help.
"The attitude of the Zhenggong Mansion leans towards the prince, more directly, the Second Prince."
Mo 1, Mo 2:......
Is this something they can listen to? Is it too late to evacuate now?
Glancing at the prince lazily lying on the couch, it seemed as if he had no such idea at all.
Qin Zhaoyue thought to himself, as expected.
When he was framed, it was too hasty. He received the memories of his original body but lacked a sense of reality, and was transferred out of Fengjing.
Now that I think about it, there must be someone behind Zheng Huiyin directing her, but it might not be someone else, or could it be Duke Zheng?
Logically speaking, the trap would not involve one's own family members, and the trouble would be shifted to someone else, but there is no guarantee that there is something fishy going on.
No matter what, Zheng Huiyin was the one who took action.
"How is the family doing?"
Yinzhe's pupils suddenly dilated.
The moon-white silver silk shirt was a little messy, with the belt hanging down at the edge of the couch, blown and unbent by the breeze blowing through the corridor.
She looked so lazy and casual, but suddenly said something shocking. She actually understood this!
Qin Zhaoyue squinted his eyes and acted lazily, but he was actually quietly paying attention to Yinzhe's every move.
Even though the abnormality just now was fleeting, it still fell within her perception.
Damn... I just tried it out, and she actually guessed it!
When it comes to participating in the imperial examinations, who can compare with the deeply rooted aristocratic families?
However, among those attending the literary gathering today, there are descendants of officials, noble scholars, and even some nobles, but there are no people from aristocratic families.
Is this reasonable?
I thought that time was tight and there were other arrangements, but the two imperial sisters never mentioned this point, which was a bit suspicious.
Of course, it is also possible that he felt that there was no point in discussing these things with a loser like her, so he just tried to test her a little.
Qin Zhaoyue had heard a saying in his previous life: The emperor comes and goes, but the aristocratic family remains forever.
Or to put it more exaggeratedly, a dynasty of passing water.
Dynasties rose and fell, and even collapsed and restarted, but the aristocratic families still stood firm.
She was very confused at the time. The emperor was determined to clean up the mess, so what could he not take down?
I even looked into this matter specifically for this purpose, and later realized that it was not that simple.
A family with hundreds or even thousands of years of history is like an invisible tentacle monster.
A terrifying network of relationships has long been formed through marriage, official positions, interest binding, etc.
Perhaps it is not noticeable at ordinary times, but if the imperial power raises the knife, the whole body will be affected.
There is no perfect solution, and it may even trigger civil unrest and threaten imperial power.
The first and second in command of a provincial government are the governor who comes from the imperial court, and the deputy governor who is recommended by the local government.
This was in accordance with the old calendar, and was also a concession Qin Minghuang had to make.
The legitimacy of a woman's succession to the throne has always been questioned, and it would be even more difficult if she did not receive support from the local community.
But given her ambition, she has probably reached a certain limit.
The implementation of benevolent policies and the relaxation of tax policies actually benefited the common people very little, and the biggest beneficiaries were the wealthy families who owned large amounts of land and tenants.
After the empress dowager ascended the throne, she improved the imperial examination system and weakened the path of recommendation for officialdom, which actually posed a certain threat to the aristocratic families.
In addition, the cost of paper dropped significantly and new printing techniques were developed, which had a huge impact on local cultural monopolies.
Now they are not satisfied with this and want to drag all the officials and nobles into this trouble?
Qin Zhaoyue didn't know whether it was a trial to encroach or a preparation for a general attack.
But she knew that this was not something her small body could handle.
What an old mother! How can she be addicted to cheating her daughter?
Qin Zhaoyue suddenly stood up, straightened his clothes expressionlessly, and strode out.
"Your Highness, what is this?"
"Work, weren't you the one urging me to do it?"
Yinzhe always felt something was wrong. Now that he had seen this, why was he still willing to do it?
It shouldn't be!
