Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 33

According to the law of the development of dynasties in the past, after each dynasty reached its peak, it would face some problems left over from the overcrowding, either the dictatorship of foreign relatives, or the eunuch's power, or the power of the relatives.If the succeeding emperor handles these problems well, then the dynasty can continue to prosper. If it is not handled well, then the dynasty is not far from disintegration.The current Fiat country is in the third situation.

"You mean I'm relying on women to protect the country?!" Tan Wenhao's face turned cold, and his voice was also cold.

It seems that he accidentally stimulated him! "It's okay if you want to think so!" Du Xiaoyue smiled casually and said lazily.

"You...!" Tan Wenhao hated Du Xiaoyue like this very much, why should she talk about the thorn in her heart? !
"Actually, this is just a political trick." Du Xiaoyue said lightly, but she couldn't face Tan Wenhao's arrogance without anger so calmly. She stood up, walked to the candlestick, and lightly flicked the candle. Xin, "Many people have done this in history. In the marriage between countries, the daughter of the minister entered the palace as a queen and concubine, and sent protons to other countries in exchange for a piece of peace. It's a pity, it's a pity that A group of women wasted their youth and everything. I don't think your method is shameful, but I don't think it is desirable either."

"You can see!" The neither cold nor calm voice made people shiver.

"I can't help it, because I also became one of that group of women! I'm still very unlucky. Even a small character like me, who is not noticeable, is about to become the object of being used by others." Du Xiaoyue smiled casually, Putting down the bamboo stick in his hand, he walked in front of Tan Wenhao calmly, "So, under certain circumstances, I have to plan for my own future. Although seeking skin from a tiger is dangerous, it's better than sitting still and waiting to die!"

Yesterday, Jiang Liangdi and Ding Yingwei entered the palace!For an hour, apart from crying, Jiang Liangdi only said two or three words to comfort Du Xiaoyue not to worry about her. For the rest of the time, Ding Yingwei first explained the truth to Du Xiaoyue, why should I serve the Queen Mother well? Fighting among other concubines, fighting for the emperor's favor, giving birth to dragon children earlier, and even sending Du Xiaoyue a book of erotic pictures, and saying that if you need any special help to keep the emperor, you can just ask, you can Help will definitely help.At first hearing these words, they were indeed words of love and kindness from others.But Du Xiaoyue deeply understands the power of this: there is a rule in the palace rules that after the concubine enters the palace for the third day, her family members can visit the palace.Therefore, the families of other concubines came to the palace to visit one after another after the third day.As for the members of the Du family, Du Xiaoyue had never visited her in the palace after half a month since she entered the palace.During the two months of confinement, the Du family also ignored them.During the New Year's Eve, concubines in other palaces had congratulatory gifts from their families, but in Zhaoyang Palace, not to mention congratulatory gifts, they didn't even see a chicken feather.In the end, the Empress Dowager couldn't see it anymore, and sent some things to Du Xiaoyue, saying that although her feet were grounded, she still had to spend the first New Year's Eve well after entering the palace.

For these, Du Xiaoyue has no complaints: Jiang Liangdi is a second wife, if Du Kangyong and Ding Yingwei don't allow it, even if she wants to go to the palace to see Du Xiaoyue, she can only think about it; Du Kangyong naturally doesn't like a dispensable daughter She would think of going to the palace to have a look; needless to say Ding Yingwei, before entering the palace, she said a few words to her, I'm afraid she still hates Du Xiaoyue in her heart!
But why did Ding Yingwei suddenly enter the palace yesterday?She also said some 'touching' words, her unexpected behavior, and her motives for visiting the palace again two days later, isn't it too puzzling?

Today's Du Kangyong's behavior is even more strange. Li Shangshu's face was obviously caused by Du Xiaoyue's mistake. According to the way Li Shangshu looked at himself, he should want to expose himself, but after Du Kangyong's words, He didn't say anything, just stood there resentfully.So, why did Du Kangyong suddenly help himself today?Not to mention the deep love between father and daughter, solve problems for her daughter!
"It seems that you feel that you have been threatened by something, so you decided not to keep silent anymore?" Tan Wenhao skipped her disobedient words and collected useful information.

"Yes and no!" Du Xiaoyue answered vaguely, because she was also in a state of confusion about some things. "No matter what my motives are, I just want to say that what I negotiated with you will benefit you and not harm you at all!"

"Tell me!"

"Okay! The negotiation is for both parties, the emperor can listen to it." Du Xiaoyue sat down again with a calm expression, "With the current situation in the court and the situation in the harem, the emperor's great love for the concubine may not be able to win. The power of the middle faction; Du Kangyong's power in the court has not been in a day or two, and it is difficult to uproot it; in the harem, several concubines have obviously started to compete for power. It is about to catch fire. In fact, it is not difficult to eliminate these problems. The most difficult problem is the dispute between the emperor and the power. I don’t know if the emperor has thought about this problem. Why does Du Kangyong’s excess power swell?

The core of the imperial system lies in the centralization of power, but excessive centralization will increase the official duties of the emperor.The appearance of the prime minister can help the emperor to reduce a lot of government affairs to a certain extent.Therefore, the establishment of the prime minister system has to be said to be a pioneering work.It's just that people are greedy. When the desire for power is in their hearts, they will naturally be dissatisfied with the existing rights and start fighting for power.The struggle between the emperor and the power comes from this aspect. "

"You mean, I have to take back all my rights?"

"If you are not afraid of being tired, you can do the same! However, you may die young!" Du Xiaoyue smiled, "Abolishing the prime minister system and taking back all the rights will naturally increase the emperor's workload. Therefore, taking back what has been done Decentralized power, is not feasible. However, this can be salvaged in other ways, such as decentralization and checks and balances."

"Decentralization and checks and balances?" Tan Wenhao repeated lightly, although his face was calm, but his eyes flashed with excitement, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"This is also very simple." Du Xiaoyue felt a little thirsty, stood up, poured two glasses of water, and put a glass on the couch table next to Tan Wenhao, then sat back to her seat, and drank the water in one go Finished, and then continued, "But let me explain their principles in detail, I can't say it. But I have some opinions on the specific application. Let's take checks and balances as an example:

The reason why Du Kangyong's power can threaten the imperial power is because no one's power in the court can threaten him.If the emperor's strong support for one person made him feel a sense of crisis, he would naturally not focus on the imperial power.However, this method must first ensure that the hearts of Du Kangyong and the other person must be toward you, the emperor. If any of the two people is not toward you, he can be quickly removed and then supported again.

But in the current situation, it is obvious that Du Kangyong's heart is not very towards the emperor, but he has not clearly expressed that he is not towards the emperor, right?Therefore, when checking and balancing, Du Kangyong's power must be divided first! "

"What kind of division?"

"Hehe, this needs to be analyzed in detail." Du Xiaoyue began to play with the belt on her body, "And the emperor must agree to my conditions before I can continue to talk! Otherwise, I will finish my speech and ask the emperor for conditions. The emperor can Completely broke the contract - I don't want my brain cells to be wasted!"

Seeing Du Xiaoyue's casual attitude, Tan Wenhao also relaxed, leaning on the couch: "Tell me about your conditions."

"Actually, my condition is very simple: Please let me out of the palace after the emperor settles down the court affairs! Of course, as a condition for me to leave the palace, I volunteer to be your universal secretary: I can help you stabilize the harem, Let only some small flames burn in the backyard, so as not to cause forest fires - although the queen mother is in charge of the harem, there are some things that the queen mother cannot do, and if there is no small fire in the harem, it is not called the harem; it can also help When you calm down the situation in the court, you give advice. Maybe you think that I am a woman who doesn't understand these things, but please believe that people can't be judged by appearances, and seas can't be measured. Some of the things I understand may be unheard of by you. If you agree According to my conditions, our current relationship has changed from husband and wife to partners."

"Why are you so sure that I will agree to your terms?" Tan Wenhao raised his legs and asked squintingly, "Also, why should I believe what you said? You must know that Du Kangyong is your father."

"Definitely? I'm not sure, I'm just trying my luck!" Du Xiaoyue stabilized her mind, "I believe that with my help, what you can achieve in two years can be accomplished within one year! Don't you want to Quickly eradicate dissidents? As for why I help you instead of Du Kangyong, this question is very simple, because I can achieve my goal only by cooperating with you. Generally speaking, we each get what we need in this cooperation. It's a win-win contract." For Du Kangyong, Du Xiaoyue has no father-daughter relationship for him, it's not that Du Xiaoyue is cold-blooded, because in Du Xiaoyue's eyes, he is just the father of this body.He can ignore the master of this body for decades, and when he wants to use the master of this body, he can act like a father to achieve his goal!He can use his daughter in this way, so why can't a daughter who is not his daughter trade him for his own freedom? !

Hearing Du Xiaoyue's answer, Tan Wenhao sized up the woman in front of him. She just looked at him calmly, without any disturbance in her eyes, as if she really didn't care about the life and death of the Du family.What kind of life did she live in the past, making her disregard family affection and focus on achieving her goal? "Have you ever thought that if Du Kangyong falls, it will harm the people of Du's family?! And don't forget, your surname is also Du!" If you directly ask her about the entanglement with Du Kangyong, she should won't say it.
