Is the root cause of the eunuchs’ disorderly politics the eunuchs or the emperor?

If Qiao Gui died, would the emperor change his ways and become a wise ruler, or would another Zhang Gui or Li Gui appear and emulate Qiao Gui?

Su Fengyi believes it is the latter.

Therefore, it is not enough to just kill Qiao Gui. In order to avoid the situation where Dong Zhuo appears first and Cao Cao appears later, it is necessary to find a trustworthy person to replace Qiao Gui.

Xue Yu, Xue Jiayan, is the person chosen by Su Fengyi, and is the substitute for Qiao Gui chosen by Su Fengyi for the emperor.

Now that she had found the person, Su Fengyi decided to meet Xue Yu first, so she said to Lu Hong:

"I will go to the palace tomorrow. Please help me arrange it. I want to meet him secretly. There is no need to make it public or let him know."

Although the original hero praised Xue Yu highly, in the original book, Xue Yu appeared later than Pei Yu, which was three years after the hero rebelled and ascended the throne.

Xue Yu appears in the book at the age of 20. He has been experiencing ups and downs in the palace for almost five years before he finally finds the opportunity to enter the vision of the male protagonist of the original book.

But Xue Yu is only sixteen years old now. He has only experienced the tremendous changes of his family being broken up and the extreme pain of castration for a few months.

People change, and are shaped and composed by their own experiences.

Xue Yu who meets the eldest princess and Xue Yu who meets the King of Pingliang will take different paths.

Sixteen-year-old Xue Yu and twenty-year-old Xue Yu are not the same person.

So Su Fengyi wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of person this sixteen-year-old Xue Yu was and whether he was worthy of being entrusted with such an important task.

She still felt uneasy until she saw him in person.

Lu Hong nodded in response:

"it is good."

He was the commander of the imperial guards, and it was not appropriate for him to be away from the emperor for too long, so after talking about Xue Yu, Su Fengyi urged him to go back quickly:

"Go, it's time to send the emperor back to the palace."

Lu Hong was not in a hurry to leave, but stared at her intently and said two words seriously:

"sharp."

As Lu Hong spoke, he nodded heavily, indicating that he was not only amazing, but also extremely amazing.

Su Fengyi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lu Hong was talking about her killing the little prince of Beilu.

Su Fengyi smiled:

"You also know this? Have you read the battle report General Shen sent to the Ministry of War?"

On the evening of the battle, General Shen asked General Yan to write a battle report and sent it urgently over 300 miles to the capital, to the Ministry of War.

The emperor was away, and the cabinet was the most important. When the Ministry of War received the report, it was immediately transferred to the cabinet, and the battle report fell into Pei Yu's hands.

Normally, Lu Hong rarely dealt with the cabinet unless the emperor specifically ordered him to do so.

In other words, apart from the eldest princess and the emperor, Lu Hong hardly dealt with anyone in the court, whether they were from the former dynasty or the harem, whether they were civil officials or military generals, or whether they were clan members or concubines.

Lu Hong has always been a lone minister, so it is really strange that he knows the content of General Shen’s battle report.

What's even more surprising is that Lu Hong said:

"All."

All, you know?

On the way back to Beijing, Su Fengyi kept thinking, what does Lu Hong mean by all this?

To what extent do you know?

How could he know all the important military affairs?

The moment Su Fengyi followed the emperor's guard of honor into the capital from Anding Gate, she knew what this meant.

The streets of the entire capital were crowded with people. Not only were there officials arranged by Pei Yu welcoming the emperor at Anding Gate, but the imperial guards arranged by Lu Hong formed a human wall and imposed martial law. Almost all the people in the capital were standing on both sides of the road to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.

There are even more people than those participating in the Lantern Festival.

Then, with the crowd watching, Pei Yu asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the sky, and the Minister of Rites read the sacrificial text on the spot.

The eulogy written by the official from the Ministry of Rites was very eloquent. Su Fengyi came to two main points from it.

The first point is to praise the emperor. They praise the emperor for being so good, so amazingly good that there has never been such a good emperor in the past thousand years or the past five hundred years.

The sacrificial text praised the emperor's wisdom. When the northern barbarians invaded, the emperor was wise and brave, and he made plans and sent the eldest princess to fight in Xuanfu.

The eldest princess was able to be mighty and domineering, kill the enemy leader with her own hands, and wipe out all the enemies, all because of the emperor's wise guidance and foresight.

The emperor personally went out of the city to welcome the triumphant eldest princess. Such a grand event celebrated by all must be celebrated in the context of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

Let the heaven know, let the earth know, let all the ancestors know how wise the emperor is.

Su Fengyi felt very comforted when she heard such an obituary.

Once such a sacrificial text was released and announced to the people of the world, it would define the whole matter and make everything come together.

Su Fengyi asked Pei Yu to cover up the emperor's disappearance and stabilize the situation in the capital, and he did it.

There was no such thing as the emperor missing and returning to the palace. The emperor had been in the palace all the time. He left the palace today to welcome the eldest princess back to the palace after winning the battle.

It turned out to be a good idea to let Pei Yu join the cabinet. With someone as the leader to control the direction, the court officials finally understood the emperor's pulse and knew where to focus their efforts.

What she was most worried about before was that at this time, an ignorant minister would come out and cry for the late emperor, which would anger the emperor.

Today, the entire sacrificial text only talks about the ancestors, and does not just talk about the late emperor. This is so insightful, and it must be the credit of Lord Pei.

After praising the emperor, the official from the Ministry of Rites began to talk about the second point, praising the eldest princess. He praised Su Fengyi to the point that she was the best in the world, praising her as the reincarnation of the god of war and the patron saint of the Great Mu Dynasty.

Su Fengyi was not thick-skinned enough to hear people praising her in public like that. She felt extremely embarrassed inside, but she had to maintain a superior and decent appearance on the surface. She felt like she was living a year in a day.

After finally getting through this period, the emperor's guard of honor finally passed through Anding Gate and set off back to the palace.

Wherever the emperor's procession went, the people shouted "Long live the emperor!" The noise was so loud that it truly reflected the people's will.

Su Fengyi rode on horseback at the end of the guard of honor. She originally thought that she had nothing to do and was going to just come and see the emperor off before returning to the Princess's Mansion.

With Lu Hong and Pei Yu around, she didn't believe anything could go wrong.

As a result, when Su Fengyi appeared, because the emperor's procession had already gone far away, the cheers of "Long live the emperor" that had already subsided suddenly stopped, and someone in the crowd took the lead and shouted:

"Long live the Princess!"

This sound was like a secret signal. With Su Fengyi as the center, the entire capital city suddenly erupted in cheers that almost reached the sky.

"Long live the Princess!"

"Long live the Princess!"

"Long live the Princess!"

The sound and scene of shouting "Long live the emperor" even drowned out the voices of shouting "Long live the emperor" as the emperor's procession passed by.

Qiao Gui was sitting in the emperor's carriage, listening to the cheers of "Long Live the Emperor" outside the carriage. Looking at the emperor's face, which suddenly turned unhappy from his originally happy look, he pretended not to see anything and lowered his head secretly.

The eldest princess has been gaining power recently, and her influence on the emperor has also been growing. Qiao Gui has already vaguely sensed the threat.

The eldest princess has a deep relationship with the emperor, unlike others. She has saved the emperor this time, so how easy will it be to bring her down?

But from the emperor's unhappy expression, Qiao Gui found a way to bring down the eldest princess.

Since ancient times, how can those who have achieved more success than their masters have a good ending?

So what if the feelings are deep?

The eldest princess's reputation surpassed that of the emperor, even surpassing him. Qiao Gui sneered secretly in his heart, thinking that she might not live long.
