In less than a month and a half, He Su had roped in nearly half of the troops near Changqing. Naturally, there was a lot of bloodshed in the dark, but on the surface, it was as calm as ever.
"Your Highness's methods are really admirable." In the small courtyard, Queen Helan sat in front of Ye Li and said with a smile. Their gazes towards Ye Li were filled with even more admiration. In just over a month, she could control half of the troops in Changqing and even infiltrate the stubborn Central Plains people. Queen Helan admitted that she couldn't do it. Although she was from the Northern Region and was naturally hostile to the Central Plains people, Queen Helan had to admit that she probably couldn't have imagined Ye Li could do so much.
Ye Li shook her head and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness flatters me. It's just a coincidence that I took advantage of the loophole. It wouldn't be so easy if it were in another place. "It wasn't that Ye Li was modest. In fact, even Ye Li herself didn't expect it to be so smooth. It was really because the Northern Region was too loose. Although these old officials of the previous dynasty were well-versed in scheming and plotting against others, they and their families were too far away from the politics and power of the court. As a result, the Northern Region looked good from top to bottom, but there were loopholes everywhere inside. Even if the Prince Ding Mansion didn't scheme against Ren Qining, if Ren Qining didn't reorganize himself, the Northern Region wouldn't last ten years.
Queen Helan said with a smile, "Those who can seize the opportunity are smart people. However, those old men from the Central Plains are the most suspicious. You've done so many things, but they didn't notice? " These days, the people of the Northern Region had been secretly preparing to return outside the pass after they were taken to attack Zijing Pass. On the other hand, they did their best to create trouble for the Central Plains people to distract their attention. But they didn't even notice that their military power had been taken away by others. This was too much. Could it be that all the Central Plains soldiers wanted to rebel against Ren Qining? Then how bad was Ren Qining's reputation?
Ye Li played with the teacup in her hand and said with a smile, "They should find out soon. Don't forget that the Yun family also has a lot of military power. They will definitely find out that something is wrong. "It had to be said that this was another mistake of Ren Qining's. Or rather, it couldn't be said to be a mistake. It was something that had to be done.
"Princess Consort, Prime Minister Yun's residence has sent an invitation to invite Princess Consort to the residence for a chat." Zhuo Jing walked in with an invitation and presented it to Ye Li. Ye Li took it and took a look. It was indeed an invitation from Prime Minister Yun's residence. The dazzling golden post was outlined with an exquisite pattern of auspicious clouds, and it looked rather magnificent.
"Where is Tan Jizhi?" Ye Li asked.
Zhuo Jing said, "Young Master Tan was invited to the Prime Minister's residence this morning. I'm afraid the Prime Minister's residence has already discovered that something is amiss. That's why I sent an invitation to invite Princess Consort over. I want to be a turtle in a jar. "
Ye Li stood up and said with a smile, "Then let's go meet this loyal minister of the previous dynasty. Send someone to inform He Su to pay attention to the soldiers and horses outside the city. If there are any accidents, don't be polite. In addition, let Qin Feng block all the roads to the Purple Thorns Pass. Without my order, no information is allowed to be sent to the Purple Thorns Pass. "
"This subordinate obeys!" Zhuo Jing received the order and left.
Queen Helan also stood up and said with a smile, "I have to thank you this time. I will also go back and let them prepare while cooperating with you. Oh right, do you still want those ministers of Ren Qining? Can I kill them? "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Queen, please do as you wish."
She brought Zhuo Jing and Lin Han into the Prime Minister's residence. Looking at Prime Minister Yun's smile that hid a knife, Ye Li didn't care. However, Tan Jizhi had already been restrained by someone. Ye Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Tan, what's wrong with you?" Ye Li didn't believe that with Tan Jizhi's ability, he could still be restrained by the people of the Prime Minister's residence when he was on guard.
Tan Jizhi shrugged with a smile and said, "Aren't I waiting for you to come and save me?"
Seeing the two talking and laughing casually, not looking down on him in the slightest, Prime Minister Yun's face couldn't help but darken. He laughed coldly and said, "This lady, why don't you tell me where you are from? Don't tell me that you are really from the Infinite Boundless Mountain? "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Since Prime Minister Yun didn't believe me from the start, why bother asking?"
With this, the Prime Minister naturally knew that he had indeed been fooled by the two in front of him. Ye Li said that he didn't believe them from the start, but that wasn't right either. He was only half-believing and half-doubting. It was only because Tan Jizhi had a request for him and these two were also in Changqing City, which could be considered to be under his control, that he didn't care. However, he didn't expect these two to be so capable that they could actually control half of the troops in the north in just over a month.
"You are from the Prime Minister's residence!" The Prime Minister stared at the two and asked coldly. Other than the people from the Prince Ding Mansion, he really couldn't think of anyone else who had such ability and means.
Tan Jizhi smiled helplessly and didn't answer. Ye Li nodded sweetly and said, "Ye Li greets Prime Minister Yun."
"You are Princess Ding?!" Hearing this, Prime Minister Yun couldn't help but scream and almost fell to the ground. Ye Li was a little helpless. Was her name so scary?
Prime Minister Yun fell back into the armchair in a daze. After a while, he sighed and said, "What a Princess Ding! Such courage and means! I think the princess has been planning with those barbarians in the north for a long time, right? " Prime Minister Yun wasn't a fool. The Prince Ding Mansion had made such a big move in the north, but they didn't notice it until now. There must be someone helping them from the inside.
Ye Li sighed softly and said, "It's not that the Prince Ding Mansion is cruel. The King of the Northern Region and the Northern Tribes Alliance want to destroy the Prince Ding Mansion and overturn the Central Plains. This move is really too vicious. If they succeed, the Prince Ding Mansion will be attacked from both sides. So, we can only take the risk and cut off their escape route. Please forgive us, Prime Minister Yun. "
"Winner takes all. Princess, there's no need to say more." Prime Minister Yun stared at Ye Li's beautiful face and said sternly, "Princess Ding has such courage and means at such a young age. Even I have to say that I admire you. However … since the Prince Ding Mansion already knows that their status has declined, they still dare to come to the Prime Minister's residence. It seems that they don't respect me at all. "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Prime Minister Yun is a senior. How can I refuse a senior's summons?"
"Good, good, good …" Prime Minister Yun said good three times in a row. He was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. He said sternly, "Since you dare to enter my Prime Minister's residence, if I don't make you stay, wouldn't the dignity of the north be lost?!"
"Prime Minister Yun, even if the north's dignity is lost, we are the ones losing face. What does it have to do with you?" A female voice with a slight smile sounded from outside the door. Queen He Lan walked in with a few people from the north. It was as if the entire Prime Minister's residence had entered an empty space. Prime Minister Yun's eyes narrowed. He stared at Queen He Lan and said, "I was wondering why you barbarians from the north would collude with the Prince Ding Mansion. So it's because of you! " At that time, when Queen He Lan made a fuss about going to Li City, everyone thought that it was because she was angry with Imperial Concubine Yun. No one cared. They didn't think that it would bring disaster to the north.
