The concubine's graceful phoenix comes to the world

Chapter 176 Conspiracy and trickery (2)
Now the emperor is weakening his power a little bit. Although Zi Qingcang may not kill him, but for him, if he has no power at all, he is no different from a useless person. His self-esteem does not allow it. He survived under the hands of Zi Qingcang.

"My lord, the emperor's movement is so big now, not only your power in the court has been affected, but also the power of several big families. Among these big families, the Lin family is the most powerful. The damage must also be the greatest. The current series of actions of the emperor is undoubtedly to weaken the influence of the noble families in the court, and to concentrate all the power in his own hands. Master, I think that now we might as well fight with the big families Join hands to resist the emperor, which can also add strength to our great cause." An aide said first.

Everyone saw that someone spoke first, and everyone else began to express their opinions.

Prince He glanced at Yuan Botao who hadn't said a word, and asked, "I don't know what Botao thinks now."

He Prince's words focused everyone's attention on Yuan Botao.For this Yuan Botao, he and the staff members in the Prince's Mansion are both envious and jealous. Although this staffer usually speaks very little and is very noble, Prince He values ​​him very much. Words are not as powerful as Yuan Botao's words.However, this Yuan Botao did have real talents, and every time he put forward an opinion that was amazing, they couldn't compare to it. Therefore, no matter how much they tried to exclude Yuan Botao, they had no choice.

"Is the prince asking for my opinion? My opinion is to stop with silence."

Yuan Botao's words aroused Prince He's interest, and Prince He asked with interest in his eyes, "What is braking with stillness, and how can brake with stillness?"

Yuan Botao glanced at the Prince and continued: "My lord, although the emperor's movements in the court are relatively large and his power has been damaged to a certain extent, in fact, these actions of the emperor can't hurt the fundamental interests of the lord at all. The emperor now holds a part of the military power in his hands, but this military power was handed over to the emperor after all by General Ye. These generals and soldiers have followed General Ye for so many years, and they must be reluctant to give up General Ye. In other words, they also have resistance to the emperor. Even if they are respectful to the emperor on the surface, who knows what is actually going on, but it must not be much better. The emperor is now holding The military power has not been fully grasped, even if the emperor's movements in the court are a little louder now, he dare not go too far."

There was silence in the study room, and everyone including the prince and the prince listened to Yuan Botao's words quietly. Yuan Botao lowered his head and continued: "Although the power of the aristocratic family has been weakened by the emperor, in fact it cannot be moved at all. The foundation of these aristocratic families. No matter how big the emperor's actions are, he would not dare to eradicate the several major families of the Ziyuan Dynasty at once. Now the emperor is in a tug-of-war with several major families. What is the final result of this tug-of-war? Now we still can't see clearly, if the emperor wins, it will definitely be bad for the prince, if the big families win, the prince can also reap the benefits."

Prince He glanced at Yuan Botao, and said: "Botao, what you said is indeed reasonable, but I don't like things out of my control. I am very upset about things that are only [-]% sure. I don't want to let Things went against me."

Seeing the calm expression on Yuan Botao's face, Prince He knew that he must have other thoughts in his heart, "If Bo Tao has something to say, just say it, why hide it, I am not a narrow-minded person, Bo Tao, you are wrong Neither will I."

Yuan Botao's face was still as calm as ever, making it impossible to guess his heart. "My lord, the one whose interests have suffered the most serious damage among the several great families is the Lin family. In the court hall, Prime Minister Lin's people have been replaced a lot, and many important seats have been replaced by the emperor's people. The influence of the hall is also much smaller. These few times in the court, the emperor and Prime Minister Lin had disputes, and the winner was always the emperor. Prime Minister Lin was defeated again and again, and he was definitely not reconciled. In the harem, Because of the miscarriage of the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, Prime Minister Lin's daughter was deprived of the position of Concubine Virtue and was demoted to Concubine Lin of the second rank. Now Concubine Lin's ability to control the harem is also much weaker. In the harem, Concubine Ye and Concubine Lin The imperial concubine controls the power of the palace together, and the struggle between the two has become more and more fierce."

Yuan Botao coughed a few times, and continued: "Whether it is the former court or the harem, the Lin family's control ability is gradually decreasing. Prime Minister Lin's ambition is not small, and his ability should not be underestimated. Now things Gradually breaking away from Prime Minister Lin's control, Prime Minister Lin must have felt very uneasy. In order to preserve the prosperity and wealth of the Lin family and his status in the Ziyuan Dynasty, Prime Minister Lin will definitely find someone to form an alliance and deal with the emperor together. Originally, it was you, the prince. I want to cooperate with Prime Minister Lin, but now the situation has reversed. It is Prime Minister Lin who wants to cooperate with you. We just need to wait quietly, waiting for Prime Minister Lin to take the initiative to contact you and cooperate with you. Now we can consume Affordable, but Prime Minister Lin may not be able to afford it. If Prime Minister Lin really comes to the door, then this time we will have the upper hand, we will lead, and it will be the most beneficial to you, my lord. My lord, you If you want to push in the dark, and want to make things develop in the direction you want, why do you have to stand in the front? It is in your best interest to control behind the scenes. implicated in you."

Hearing what Yuan Botao said, the prince did not speak. Seeing that the prince had no reaction, no one dared to speak. Apart from Yuan Botao coughing from time to time, there was no movement at all in the study.

I don't know how long it took, and Prince He finally spoke, "Let's do it first, I don't believe that Zi Qingcang would dare to eradicate us all at once. Even if I don't speak, the other princes Nobles will not just sit idly by, after all, this is a matter related to everyone's vital interests."
