Chapter 8: A plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves

Although Ao Feiyan was not in the court today, she also listened to what happened today from her subordinates. Yue Tianyou did not take Xia Ningyan, the current empress, into consideration at all.

This of course made Ao Feiyan very angry inside.

After all, in her heart, Xia Ningyan is the one she wants to be loyal to, the aloof being.

However, someone dared to be disrespectful to Xia Ningyan, and this person was still the prime minister of the court. How could Ao Feiyan not be angry?

Xia Ningyan said: "You have also seen that those enemy troops were indeed repelled by Yue Tianyou. Without him, the Great Xia Dynasty would still be in trouble. Do you think I have a better choice?

?"

"But you are the empress, and he is just a subordinate. He dares to be disrespectful to you. According to the laws of Daxia, he should be punished. Didn't he speak out of the law today? Then he must abide by the law.

."

Ao Feiyan also knew today that Yue Tianyou even killed the Minister of Civil Affairs directly outside Taiji Hall without Xia Ningyan's imperial edict.

Such wanton behavior should be punished.

"If he wants to abide by it, then he will not be a fool."

"But you are the empress..."

"Empress?"

Xia Ningyan laughed at herself, she was just an empress who needed to rely on the prime minister who despised the imperial power and had all the power to secure her position.

"Fei Yan, let me ask you. With Yue Tianyou's current power, if he wants to force the palace, what can I do?"

As soon as these words came out, Aofeiyan was shocked and said with some disbelief: "You... what are you talking about? Does Yue Tianyou want to force him into the palace?"

"That's not true. I'm just making an analogy."

"Of course we have to unite all the civil and military officials to deal with him. He is so powerful. How dare he make the entire Great Xia Dynasty an enemy? What's more, he wants to sit on this throne. His name is not justified and his words are not justified. It will definitely arouse anger when the time comes.

According to public opinion, Yue Tianyou would not dare to do this."

Aofeiyan doesn't believe that Yue Tianyou has the courage to force her into the palace.

"Most of the civil and military officials are now on his side. I also heard that in recent years, Yue Tianyou often sent people to deliver supplies to some barren places."

"Today he also petitioned me to exempt those people from paying taxes. Why do you think he did this?"

"Could it be that Yue Tianyou really wants to force himself into the palace? Does he want to be the emperor?!"

"If he wanted to, he could have done so when the emperor threw him into the sky prison, but he didn't."

Xia Ningyan is indeed a little bit unable to see through Yue Tianyou.

When he first let him enter the heavenly prison, Yue Tianyou was also honest. If he wanted to force him into the palace, that was the best time, why wait until now.

Ao Feiyan said: "Perhaps he is also afraid of arousing public anger and making the throne uneasy, so he wants to use this method to force you to take the initiative to take the throne. In this case, his throne will be justified."

Of course, Xia Ningyan has also considered it, and it is not impossible.

After all, there is a big difference between taking the Zen position on your own initiative and Yue Tianyou forcibly seizing it. Although this is a world where the strong are respected, the Great Xia Dynasty is not too big or too small.

A sudden change of dynasty will definitely cause considerable turmoil.

But Xia Ningyan doesn't think Yue Tianyou is worried about this. She doesn't know what this man is thinking.

Xia Ningyan said: "Maybe, but for the people, as long as they can benefit the people and allow them to live and work in peace and contentment, they don't care who becomes the emperor."

"This... what the empress said is absolutely true."

Indeed, just as Xia Ningyan said, ordinary people just want to live and work in peace and contentment. Whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with them. After all, this is too far away from them. They are completely two worlds.

.

Xia Ningyan said: "Yue Tianyou indeed despised the imperial power and even made me, like the previous emperor, a puppet in his hands. However, so far, he has not done anything to damage the Great Xia Dynasty, nor has he done anything to destroy it.

He harms the people, but instead brings benefits to them. I should just turn a blind eye to his behavior."

"Who makes this emperor incompetent?"

Xia Ningyan said, laughing at herself.

Ao Feiyan said: "Empress, please don't say that, you are already good enough. What does the Empress mean, let Yue Wuyou continue like this, continue to despise the imperial power, form cliques for personal gain, and monopolize power, and not take you seriously?"



Xia Ningyan said: "As long as he doesn't do anything to harm the Xia Dynasty, it doesn't matter if the emperor suffers a little injustice."

"But if he dares to do anything that would harm the Great Xia Dynasty or harm the people, I will fight him to the end even if I risk my life."

"By the way, Your Majesty, I think of a way to kill two birds with one stone."

"Oh, tell me."

"Look, doesn't the Golden Lion Kingdom have the intention to form an alliance with us? Then we can form an alliance with them and use their power to punish Yue Tianyou."

"Give Yue Tianyou a warning and see if he dares to be arrogant to you in the future. Moreover, if Yue Tianyou dares to rebel and force the palace, we can also ask the Golden Lion Kingdom to be our aid. What do you think, Her Majesty the Empress?



"Golden Lion Country... This is not appropriate. This Golden Lion Country has great ambitions. Many of its neighboring countries have been annexed by them. Their national strength is stronger than ours.

There are many, and they will not get any benefit from forming an alliance with us."

Xia Ningyan thinks this method is not good.

This is a strategy to drive away tigers and devour wolves. If it is not properly controlled, the tigers may do more damage than the wolves, and the consequences will be endless.

At least so far, Yue Tianyou, although he despises the imperial power, has not done anything to harm the Great Xia Dynasty, but Xia Ningyan is very clear about the ambitions of this Golden Lion Kingdom.

If you get involved with them, maybe things will become more complicated.

One Yue Tianyou is enough to give Xia Ningyan a headache. If she comes to a Golden Lion Kingdom, Xia Ningyan is not confident that she can handle it well. She has only just taken up the position, and she still needs to learn many things slowly.

Aofeiyan said: "Your Majesty, they do have a purpose in wanting to form an alliance with us. This..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"The eldest son of the king of the Golden Lion Kingdom has always had an admiration for Her Majesty the Empress. Why don't we take this opportunity to help us. Not to mention Yue Tianyou, maybe it will be possible then.

It’s not the Golden Lion Kingdom that annexed us, it’s us who went to annex the Golden Lion Kingdom.”

"Feiyan, you..."

Xia Ningyan did not expect that Aofeiyan would be so bold, and she would dare to think of such a thing just because the eldest son of a king liked her.
