I should marry the traitor

Chapter 22: One Liu Ruyan, Three Minotaur
Luoyang City was bustling with people, cars and people, and it was very noisy. At Li Changge's request, Dong Bai ordered the Xiliang Army to restrain a little, and taking advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's wedding, Luoyang's business began to operate again.

However, the Xiliang soldiers calmed down, but that didn't mean everyone calmed down. A carriage entered the city from the north gate and galloped all the way. An ice-winged demon horse with red eyes blew a cold wind on the street.

"It's not this person. The Prime Minister has banned horses from running in the streets. How can someone be more arrogant than our Xiliang Army?"

"Look at the flag. They seem to be from the Beishuo Army?"

"The people of Beishuo Army are more arrogant than us. We have to find a reason to beat them up."

"Sergeant, this is not appropriate. That thing is running wildly towards the direction of the imperial city. I'm afraid there is some urgent military information or something."

"That's right. Even the Di people can't handle the useless people in Beishuo. How can they be as powerful as us in Xiliang?"

"That's right, drink, drink."

The Ice-Winged Demon Horse carrying the Lizhi Fruit galloped wildly all the way, and after a gust of cool wind blew through the slightly hot Luoyang City, it finally arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

The juice was delivered, but the horse, which was already exhausted, collapsed completely to the ground. The messenger looked at the colt lying on the ground behind him with some pity.

War horses are precious, not to mention war horses with demon blood. If we talk about actual value, the little bit of Lizhi fruit that was transported is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Ice-Winged Demon Horse.

In the Golden Palace, the two saints were in court. Dong Bai, who served as the empress, prime minister, and grand tutor, had become the center of the court. Li Changge, as the emperor, sat on the dragon throne like a puppet, saying nothing.

In a sense, Dong Bai did achieve her goal, the hen crows at dawn and the head hangs down to listen to government affairs, but today she knows that what was hanging down was not the face, but a curtain.

But in the entire Golden Palace, only Dong Bai herself knew that in fact, Emperor Fu Yi was not a puppet of her, Prime Minister Dong, but she, Prime Minister Dong, was the puppet of Emperor Fu Yi.

Moreover, Dong Bai did not dare to show any sign of it, because Li Changge threatened her that if she did not cooperate in any way, he would make her open a bottle of champagne in the Golden Palace.

Don't do that. Opening champagne in the throne room will really go down in history. Dong Bai felt trembling all over just thinking about it.

She could only numb herself constantly. Even though the numbness was fake, it was still good to be second to none.

Li Changge watched Dong Bai gradually getting into the role and becoming more and more unbridled in the court. Should we say that her acting skills are getting better or that she is gradually releasing her nature?
In Li Changge's plan, Dong Bai is the black glove that must not be given up.

The problems of Daqian seem to be civil strife caused by dishonest Jiedushi, but if the people are really rich and the country is strong, how could a few Jiedushi dare to be dishonest? There are too many problems within Daqian. If it follows the main line of rebuilding the world, it will naturally not be a problem. After changing the world, these problems can be alleviated.

But now Li Changge is taking the fast-track route. After leaving behind the path of rebuilding the world, he must start to deal with the various ills of Daqian.

Most of these problems were so difficult to solve that even the emperor found it difficult to enforce them. At such times, the necessity of black gloves became apparent.

Are there any black gloves that are better than Dong Bai’s?
Dong Bai is set up as a half-demon with 90% blood, a traitor who controls the government with an army of 100,000. Not only does she have the power to enforce policies by force, but she also naturally has such motives as she stands on the opposite side of the court.

Just like today's agenda is to nominate the position of Taifu, one of the Nine Ministers, although Dong Bai and the Yuan family reached an exchange of interests for Dong Bai to let Yuan Shao go, the court only symbolically issued a wanted order.

But Yuan Shao's position is Taifu, one of the Nine Ministers. As the symbol of the highest power in the court, the value of the position of Taifu can be imagined. In the past, this position has always been held by aristocratic families, and only a few surnames can sit on it.

But today, this situation has changed.

"I think that Liu Ruyan of Xiliang is a man of great wisdom and virtue, and can be appointed as the Imperial Horse Servant. What do you think?"

"I think it's appropriate."

"Liu Shucao's moral character and talent are both outstanding, he can be the imperial servant."

In name it was a court recommendation, but when Dong Bai spoke, the so-called court recommendation was just a formality. Everyone knew who had the final say in Luoyang today, and everyone knew what kind of relationship Liu Ruyan and Dong Bai had, but no one expected that Dong Bai would really be willing to give up on his woman.

But in fact, it was really different from what the court officials thought. Dong Bai had never thought of pushing Liu Ruyan to the position of Grand Coachman.

Dong Bai viewed Liu Ruyan as a very comfortable bed-warmer, a very smart aide and military advisor, and a subordinate who was completely dependent on her. He had never thought of promising Liu Ruyan a high position like the Nine Ministers.

After all, that is the highest position of the Nine Ministers. In the dual monarchy of Daqian, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are nominally directly subordinate to the emperor, and it is impossible for them to completely become vassals of another minister, even if the other party is their benefactor.

Even Liu Ruyan betrayed Dong Bai, causing her to fall into the predicament she is in today. Dong Bai had already hated Liu Ruyan to the core, so how could he possibly give her a promotion?

Of course, it was Li Changge who arranged for Liu Ruyan to be the Grand Coachman.

On the one hand, this was the reward Li Changge promised Liu Ruyan after the task was accomplished. On the other hand, Liu Ruyan was also Li Changge's most beloved loyal minister.

After betraying Dong Bai and making a deal with Li Changge, although she was still a Xiliang person on the surface, she had actually betrayed Xiliang.

After she rebelled against Xiliang, the noble families in Luoyang would not accept Dong Bai's former lackey. The only one she could rely on was the wise Emperor Fuyi, who even Liu Ruyan was afraid of.

Liu Ruyan, who was summoned, walked into the Golden Palace with charming steps, waving a black feather fan. She ignored the hostile looks of the officials in the court, bowed to the two saints sitting on the throne, and cast a seductive look at Li Changge without showing it.

In her eyes, the entire court was full of idiots. They couldn't even see the true face of the Emperor Fuyi. They were just idiots and were just chess pieces that Li Changge manipulated at will.

Liu Ruyan is a woman who admires the strong, which can be seen from the fact that she submits to Dong Bai, but she is not a sissy and she submits to Dong Bai out of necessity.

Is there a man in the world more perfect than Li Changge? Liu Ruyan thinks there is no such man, so she showed her most beautiful side today and boldly flirted with Li Changge.

Due to the facing problem, only Li Changge and Dong Bai in the entire court could see Liu Ruyan's seductive eyes. For various needs, Li Changge gladly accepted Liu Ruyan's kindness.

But in a sense, Dong Bai, as a minotaur, was attacked twice by the minotaur here, which is equal to the number of minotaurs times three. Although she looked expressionless, she was actually extremely angry in her heart.

Liu Ruyan, not only did you betray me, but you also seduced my man in the Golden Palace?
