Girl, there's something wrong with you

The eldest princess of Nankang took a bath under the shower head and did not touch the bathtub belonging to Yuan Zhi.

What her uncle said to her flashed through her mind.

Outsiders looked down upon Yu Zhongshu like a tiger, but she knew that her uncle was actually not a bad person, just a bit grumpy.

If she were a normal relative, she would definitely interfere strictly with the eldest princess's marriage, using this as a bargaining chip to further consolidate the power of the relative. However, Yu Yuangui talked to her today and allowed her to choose her favorite husband in private.

"As long as he is not a man from a family with the fifth surname and has a clean background, it will be fine." This is what the uncle said this afternoon.

The so-called "clean origin" means that there should be no people in the family network who have ever rebelled or surrendered to the enemy. Jinyang's younger brother is obviously not included in this list, because his mother was once a demon, and she also unilaterally terminated cooperation with the royal family.

In other words, my uncle actually saw my private contact with Cheng Jinyang this afternoon, so he hurriedly reminded me.

Sorry, uncle! I want to make my own decision about my marriage!

Her eyes passed through the rising steam and fell on the tiled wall of the bathroom.

A strange picture emerged in my mind:

On the way to the wedding venue, in the wedding car, Jinyang's brother, wearing the groom's dress, leaned gently on his chest.

Suddenly there was a series of explosions outside.

Xing Yunzhi, Wang Wanrou, Chu Qingqing...the eldest ladies from aristocratic families came to snatch the marriage! The eldest princess of Luling, her sister, was working hard to block the attacks of these people on behalf of her sister and brother-in-law.

And he hugged Jinyang's brother, gave them a provocative smile from behind the car window, and then continued to move towards the wedding venue.

"Jinyang, don't abandon me, Jinyang! Wuwuwuwu..."

"Get out of here! Luling, you die!"

"Nankang! I will kill you! Did you hear that? Take away my Jinyang and I will kill you!!!"

Sister Xinnan, who was in the bath, couldn't help but reveal an intoxicating smile.

Oh, by the way, it seems like there is no boy I like in Luling yet.

Do you want to introduce her to the wonderful things about Jinyang brother?

So there are more strange pictures in my mind:

"Sister, why are you trying to rob me?" Princess Luling, whose eyes had lost their luster, looked at her with a blank expression, "Didn't you agree that you would give me everything I like?"

"I'm sorry, Luling." The eldest princess of Nankang held Jinyang's younger brother in her arms with a sad smile, "This is the only thing that is not allowed."

…

After bathing, the eldest princess of Nankang took a bath towel and slowly dried her body, still imagining more pictures in her mind.

For some reason, if other women naturally have exclusive desires for the men they like, then she seems to be deficient in this area.

However, she has extremely strong interest and fighting spirit in how to stand out among the sisters and occupy as much time as possible.

Defeat them! Then... bully them!

When she left the bathroom, she saw Cheng Jinyang sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the computer she had brought.

"Jinyang, have you read the information inside?"

"Not yet." Cheng Jinyang was vague. He couldn't say, "I was completely distracted just now." He could only smile sheepishly and said, "Something happened just now..."

"Okay." Princess Nankang opened her bathrobe and climbed into bed.

Cheng Jinyang:? ? ?

Where did your silk pajamas come from?

Wow, Sister Xinnan, you are indeed prepared! ! !

"Let me tell you briefly." Princess Nankang sat next to him and put the computer on her lap. "Come closer."

"Um."

Cheng Jinyang followed the instructions and approached, and then...

Being hugged by Sister Xinnan? ? ?

"It's easier to see this way." The eldest princess of Nankang also turned a little red, but she came here tonight with the determination to win over the opponent (for this reason, she also put on the winning pajamas), so in addition to the last step, she must Except for giving after marriage, all other reservations are basically let go.

"First of all, the rebellion of Longxiang Army has been completely put down, and the imperial court is sending Tao Shixing to control Jingzhou. In the next few years, there will basically be no major wars in the west."

"The next problem is internal and the north. Internal refers to the fact that my father passed away too suddenly and my brother was too young, which caused the imperial authority to be severely weakened. My uncle is now using thunderbolt tactics everywhere and rectifying the administration. It is also to intimidate other towns, and also to make up for the shortcomings in this aspect..."

Cheng Jinyang, who was immersed in Dabairuan and couldn't extricate himself, suddenly remembered what the emperor said that day when he called him to Taicheng:

"... Once the political order is unstable, competition will arise, and countless careerists will eye my position. They will start wars and involve almost everyone. The winner will work hard to get to the position, and then be replaced by the new one. Competitors overthrow until someone integrates most of the strength, gains absolute advantage, and establishes a new political order. But before that, such turmoil will continue for a long time..."

Combining Sister Xinnan's narrative, Cheng Jinyang discovered that the current political situation was indeed exactly what the emperor had expected.

The rebellion of the Longxiang Army made countless people see clearly the fragile situation inside the empire. The death of the emperor and the ascension of the young emperor also made the chaotic domestic situation even worse.

Just as the emperor said, countless conspirators have begun to emerge.

One is the clan hawks represented by Sima Yanzuo. They were able to suppress these people during the emperor's lifetime, but now that Yu Yuangui came to power, they have been unable to restrain themselves and rebelled. Therefore, Master Zhongshu has recently killed a wave of people.

The reason why I came to participate in the Qinghe Cui family's snow viewing activity was to communicate with the five surname families. The reason for attacking these clans was because they had evil intentions and had no intention of expanding the attack area to target the noble families.

Of course, most of the nobles suffered heavy losses in the previous rebellion of the Longxiang Army, especially the fifth-grade families who occupied the majority of the nobles. It would indeed be unjustifiable for Yu Yuangui to take the opportunity to be more aggressive.

The second one is Su Zigao who is far away in Liyang.

After the imperial court moved southward, he was left to the north of the Yangtze River to guard the gate. As a price for withstanding the demon's frontal pressure, the empire's upper echelons also gave him many conveniences, such as allowing him to recruit refugees on his own to expand his army, to go north to raid without permission from the court, and to retain the technology he gained from raiding the Central Plains, etc.

Of course, these are helpless actions. After all, they are isolated in the north of the Yangtze River and have established their own vassal town. Even if you don't allow them to expand the army, raid and plunder, they can still do it secretly, and it is easy to alienate the court.

Facts have proved that these policies did initially achieve some results. During the reign of the late emperor, Su Zigao always maintained a meek and submissive attitude and continued to transport refugee resources to the south of the Yangtze River.

When Wang Chuzhong rebelled, the general also responded to the court's call and led the civilian army southward to aid Jiankang. Wang Chuzhong once sent someone to persuade Su Zigao that "after the Wang family in Taiyuan seizes the throne, he can enjoy wealth and honor." Su Zigao refused to listen, forcing Wang Chuzhong to forcibly drag his sick body away, and secretly led troops to sneak into Jiankang, intending to take a risk before the refugee army arrived in Jiankang, and seize chestnuts from the fire.

As a result, he collided head-on with the Gundam pilot... everyone knows what happened next.

Therefore, at least in the eyes of most outsiders, Su Zigao did not seem to have any intention of rebellion.

However, Yu Yuangui, who had more information, didn't think so. For example, when the rebellion of Sima Yanzuo was eliminated, it was discovered that he was connected with Su Zigao of Jiangbei, and this matter seemed to have something to do with the Cheng family of the divine capital in the early years...

Cheng Jinyang:? ? ?

Hearing this, he trembled suddenly and climbed up from the arms of the princess sister.

I am the clan leader of the Cheng clan in the capital city of God. How come I didn’t know that my clan is connected with the rebels?
