The Female Cannon Fodder Is Highly Poisonous

Ming Di talked with the regent for a long time, and when it was over, he suddenly asked a question.

"Does the Queen Mother know that Your Majesty is going to send the prince to the southwest?"

The regent shook his head firmly: "Yao'er should not know that it was Ji Chengyou and others who brought it up during the morning court today. Your Majesty..."

But does Your Majesty really not know?

According to His Majesty's suspicious and cautious mind, he was able to agree to Ji Chengyou's suggestion during the morning court, but I am afraid that before that, he had seriously considered the candidates to be sent to the southwest.

His relationship with the Queen Mother is unknown to very few people in the government and the public. Has His Majesty really not considered the Queen Mother's position?

Still, the Queen Mother agreed with him...

impossible!

Yao'er trusts him so much that she won't hide such an important matter from him.

How could he doubt Yao'er's intentions towards him?

After a pause, the regent said with certainty: "Yao'er doesn't know."

Ming Di: "..."

have no idea?

That woman is not simple.

When she entered the palace, the late emperor could be considered her father, but she was still able to squeeze out all the concubines and gain the exclusive favor of the late emperor, ranking first in the harem.

Not only that, when the late emperor was still alive, she successively won the love of the regent, Ningyuan Hou, the prime minister, the general, and others, and relied on these powerful ministers to secure her position as concubine.

Jiang Yao's mother's family is not powerful. As a concubine, her relationship with her family is also very cold and alienated. However, other concubines in the palace, such as Concubine Rou, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and the late Empress, all have strong family backgrounds.

For example, the former empress and concubine were all born in the Duke's Palace and the Shangshu Palace. They had strong maternal support, but they were still defeated at the hands of Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao is an ambitious person, and what she is best at is taking advantage of people's hearts. Anyone standing on the outside can see this, but only the prince and others seem to have lost their minds.

Such a woman not only controls the harem, but also keeps an eye on the court.

But the prince said that Jiang Yao didn't know anything, which was really... stupid!

Ming Di glanced at the regent, and the complex expression in his eyes made the regent feel startled. But when he looked again, he had returned to his usual detached appearance, like a wandering cloud and a wild crane.

"Ming Di..." The regent wanted to explain that he was not blind, but believed in Yao'er's feelings for him, but he couldn't explain it.

Ming Di had been away for three years after the last dispute. If another dispute broke out this time, would he lose this person who was both a strategist and his confidant?

Mingdi: "I said this just to do my duty. Since the prince chooses to believe it, I have nothing to say."

The Prince Regent felt a vague uneasiness in his heart, as if he had lost this friend.

Ming Di: "I visited the prince early this morning and wanted to teach him how to read. I have already promised the prince, and I also asked the prince to give me a favor."

Regent: "...You want to teach Chang Ning how to read?"

Ming Di: "Yes, Your Majesty has not forgotten, has he? I have said it a long time ago. When the overall situation is decided, there is no need to give me a promotion or title. As long as Your Majesty gives me an academy."

The regent's lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.

After a long while, he said: "It is this king who betrayed you."

Ming Di smiled and said: "As long as the prince's choice follows his own heart, there is nothing wrong with him."

Except for him and some other counselors, most of the soldiers who followed the regent were former members of the royal palace, and it was their duty to be loyal to the regent.

They do not force the regent to make a choice, but they have the power to choose the emperor.
