All Hail Cousin Brother

It is also for this reason that the emperor is also very jealous of the old nobles. He has some kindness and preferential treatment, but he will not use them too seriously.

It has been passed down from generation to generation, but it has also declined from generation to generation, and has long since lost its former glory.

Without the great achievements of Conglong or the great achievements of opening up territories, it would be difficult to regain its former glory.

The late emperor chose Ning Guo Gongfu and focused on the huge and intricate interests behind Ning Guo Gongfu. He wanted to support Ning Guo Gongfu and protect the emperor's fifth son.

Ning Guo Gongfu took advantage of the situation to gain the former emperor's important position. In the future, by supporting the new emperor Conglong and making contributions, the prosperity of the three generations can be ensured.

This is an opportunity and a huge gamble.

Princess Liyang saw that she had a bad look on her face, and she smiled deeply in her eyes: "The late emperor intended to cultivate party members for the emperor's five sons, and Duke Ningguo was one of them. However, things are unpredictable. Not long after, the late emperor fell ill and his power fell away. The Queen Mother, who is still the Queen Mother, went beyond the Emperor's control and gave the Emperor's fourth son a marriage to Ning's daughter, and joined forces with the clan members and many noble military officers in the court to launch a palace coup."

Yu Youyao heard the key.

The fact that the late emperor cultivated party members for the emperor's fifth son showed that the late emperor's body may not have reached the point of "serious illness". Princess Liyang also always said that the late emperor was "ill and weak" and never mentioned that he was seriously ill.

When a person is sick, he will inevitably feel mentally and physically weak. This is a normal situation.

Then there may be another mystery behind the late emperor's "illness".

Due to the late emperor's illness, the Ningguo Palace that he single-handedly promoted became a useless move. After all, he still made a wedding dress for the Queen Mother.

Duke Ningguo had no choice.

The late emperor's edict became a reminder to Ning Guo Gongfu. Not only could Ning Guo Gongfu not reveal anything about it, but he also had to do his best to be a loyal dog to the current emperor.

"The emperor's fifth son did not participate in the struggle for power, but the late emperor loved the emperor's fifth son, and his intention to establish the emperor's fifth son was almost Sima Zhao's. Everyone knows that after he ascended the throne, the empress dowager and Ning Guo's government were the guarantors. In addition, the emperor's fifth son was a dandy. Just because he has not been implicated, it does not mean that he does not have any grudges against the emperor's fifth son, which also laid the foundation for the subsequent destruction of Duke Ning's palace."

Yu Youyao felt chills in her heart. The Dog Emperor was suspicious by nature. Since he had just ascended the throne, he was under the control of the Queen Mother and the courtiers. Also, because the emperor's fifth son was the beloved son of the late emperor, he could not kill them all as soon as he ascended the throne, so he had to let the fifth emperor's son go.

But his grudge against the fifth emperor became increasingly serious.

The dissatisfaction and suspicion towards Duke Ning's government is also getting deeper and deeper.

The root of the problem was laid from the beginning.

It was not just the fifth son of the emperor who joined the vassal, made great military exploits in the north, and became the famous His Highness Prince You.

Princess Liyang sighed softly: "My current position is not right, and I am controlled by the Queen Mother. I am always worrying about gains and losses. I suspect that my position is unstable, and I suspect that the late emperor has a back-up plan. Anyone who has anything to do with the emperor's fifth son will be jealous of me. Due to the late emperor's edict, Duke Ning's government was walking on thin ice in the court."

Virtue is not matched, so we worry about gains and losses.

"Today, I want to personally conduct the Northern Expedition. Duke Ningguo could have refused to go on the expedition. However, in order to dispel the emperor's suspicion and regain my trust, Duke Ningguo has no choice but to support the emperor's personal expedition. Furthermore, because of my emperor's suspicion of Duke Ning, I decided to That’s why Duke Ning’s family is full of loyal and loyal people, but they suffer unjust injustice.”

Supporting the Northern Expedition in person was a helpless move, not only for the sake of Duke Ning's palace, but also for the queen in the palace and the eldest son of the emperor who was just born.

If Duke Ningguo refuses to go on an expedition, the emperor's suspicion and dissatisfaction with Duke Ning will become even deeper. The empress's situation in the palace will be evident. The emperor's eldest son, who has lost his Sacred Heart, will also become the target of public criticism as his legitimate eldest son.

Grandmother once mentioned the old affairs of Ningguo Duke’s mansion to her.

Yu Youyao was a little confused. Ning Guogong used to guard the northern border and was a fierce general who had experienced hundreds of battles. How could he support such a ridiculous behavior as the Northern Expedition?

It seems that he is asking for trouble.

Now it seems that I can't help it.

That piece of edict was the guillotine hanging over the head of Duke Ning Guo. If he could not gain the emperor's trust, the fate of Duke Ning Guo's Palace could be foreseen.

Speaking of this, Princess Liyang looked at Yu Youyao with a smile but not a smile: "Princess Chang, you don't know that Duke Ning Guo was guarding the northern border earlier and had many connections in the northern border. The Queen Mother asked King Zhou Li to join the vassal. He just borrowed the protection of Ningguo Gongfu's old ministry. Otherwise, do you think that after King Zhou Li arrived in Liaodong, how could he easily recover hundreds of thousands of troops in the name of a playboy? Without the help of the old ministry, how could he have conquered Liaodong so quickly? Make great achievements in the north?"

I see.

Some things that were incomprehensible or unreasonable in the past are now connected together. Yu Youyao's scalp felt numb, and suddenly she couldn't listen anymore.

Queen Ning and Yin Huaixi were more than just related.

The collapse of Duke Ning's Mansion was directly related to King Zhou Li. King Zhou Li was protected by the old people of Duke Ning's Mansion. This was also an indelible kindness.

The interests between Yin Huaixi and Queen Ning have long been inseparable.

Empress Ning had blatantly plotted her marriage earlier, but Yin Huaixi didn't say anything. He just went along with the flow and plotted against the Queen Mother to arrange a marriage for them.

As long as there is such a "favor", Yin Huaixi's entanglement with Queen Ning and Princess Liyang will continue to be involved.

It seems natural that Princess Liyang has this intention.

Her marriage to Yin Huaixi was given by the Queen Mother and could not be changed. Before they got married, someone came to her door and hinted to her openly and covertly in a confident and matter-of-fact tone:

I am your fiancé's future concubine. My mother-in-law and your fiancé have a different relationship. You have to be more generous. We are sisters and live in peace. If you don't like it, it's a big deal.

How should Yu Youyao react?

"You have offended me." She stood up and looked at Princess Liyang condescendingly. Her voice was cold and hard: "I don't care what your plans are, or what disputes Queen Ning and Yin Huaixi have. Just listen. Okay—" She paused for a moment, then curled her lips slightly: "This Prince Wu Mu's palace has you but not me, both me and you."

Princess Liyang frowned and looked a little ugly: "Princess Chang, what does this mean?"

Yu Youyao turned a deaf ear and stepped out of the flower hall with a cold face.

Chunxiao and Xia Tao rushed to greet them.

Yu Youyao said slowly: "Go and prepare the carriage, pack it up and go back to Yu Garden."

Chunxiao was shocked and subconsciously looked at the sky outside: "Are you leaving now? It's already Shenshi, is it inappropriate?"

Xia Tao entered the mansion when she was a child. Because she was smart and lovable, not long after entering the mansion, she was transferred to serve the young lady. People outside said that the young lady was naughty, but the young lady never criticized the servants harshly and rarely showed her face. She served the young lady. In so many years, this was the first time I saw the young lady's face looking so ugly, so I subconsciously glanced at the room.

Princess Liyang is still in the house.
