Chapter 408, fear
Shi Fuxin understood what Chu Yao meant: "You mean, the emperor is very afraid of women taking power?"
Chu Yao nodded: "Among the decrees promulgated by Taizu, what the emperor opposes the most is women entering the court as officials."
Shi Fuxin didn't understand: "Why? Anyway, power must be delegated. What's the difference between women holding power and men holding power?"
Chu Yao: "The emperor may think that women's power is not conducive to the stability of the court."
Shi Fuxin sneered: "It should be said that unstable men are more unstable than women."
Chu Yao did not argue with Shi Fuxin about this, but told her some secrets about the palace.
"Did you know that during the decades when the first emperor succeeded to the throne, the regent ruled the government in the early stage, but later the regent fell, and the court was also controlled by the four ministers."
"At that time, the power of the Duke of Anguo was not weaker than the Duke of Cheng's today. The reason for this was because the Duke of Anguo was backed by the Empress Dowager."
"Do you know why the empress dowager doesn't care about everything? This is the result of the struggle between the former emperor and the empress dowager. The relationship between the former emperor and the empress dowager has always been very tense in the middle and late stages of his administration."
"The Empress Dowager was present throughout the entire period of the first emperor's reign. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, the treasury was empty. Most of the reasons were caused by the struggle between the first emperor and the Empress Dowager."
"You should have heard that the reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne was because of the support of the queen mother and the Wei family."
"At the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, before promulgating some government orders, he had to discuss with the queen mother first, especially the establishment of the prince, which was almost entirely dominated by the queen mother and the Wei family."
"Because the emperor saw the deadlock between the first emperor and the empress dowager, and felt the oppression and constraints from the empress dowager, he hated women's interference in government affairs very much."
Chu Yao frowned when she saw Fu Xin, knowing that she had listened, and continued: "Shen Nong Tang is involved in military power, and the confidante makes so much money, you should talk less and do less now, and try to keep a low profile."
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "I don't want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, everything I do is to protect myself."
Chu Yao said 'hmm': "I know, you are passively involved in many things. This is because you can't help yourself in the chess game."
Shi Fuxin did not forget her purpose of coming to see Chu Yao: "The cigarette bag belongs to me. It is not difficult to find out. If you push Fu Gonggong and the cigarette bag away, the emperor will still be suspicious of me."
Chu Yao: "Before Fu Gonggong and the cigarette bag were taken away, I met them and made a deal with them. You don't know about the Queen Mother. The reason why they attached to you is actually for me."
"Eunuch Fu also told me directly about the Empress Dowager."
Shi Fuxin showed hesitation: "Will the emperor believe it?"
Chu Yao: "Even if the emperor is suspicious, it is better than the emperor being afraid of you."
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao: "Why do you think the emperor is jealous of me? It is true that Shennongtang and Hongyanxiao's business is not bad, but there are no businessmen who do better than me. If the emperor can tolerate them, why can't he tolerate me? gone?"
Looking at Shi Fuxin, Chu Yao thought to himself, because you are Bai Yueguang, you can freely enter and exit Beiyan Palace to kill two great masters!
He has money, is involved with military power, and has super strength himself. This can completely influence the affairs of the court. If he were the emperor, he would not allow such an unstable factor to live.
"How did you win Ma Chuan Ma Jiang?"
Shi Fuxin's eyes flickered, and she suddenly seemed to understand why Chu Yao felt that the emperor would fear her.
Because she is the top master, and she was the one who killed the two top masters of Beiyan!
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao a little more inquiringly, does this guy know her strength?
"I poured poison on them."
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "I'm only a ninth rank, so what if I'm exposed?" Hearing what she said, Chu Yao knew that because she didn't show the strength of the top master in front of Ma Chuan Ma Jiang: "Know why Piao Miao Palace Will you rely on the prince?"
"Because the emperor ordered Dongfang to be arrested, he must find a way to destroy the Piaomiao Palace. Rather than saying that the Emperor is afraid of the Piaomiao Palace, it is better to say that it is Dongjian."
"You can ask your elder brother, are all sects with supreme masters under the strict supervision of the Sifang chief arresting yamen?"
Shi Fuxin was silent: "This has nothing to do with me. I just want to know what will happen to Fu Gonggong and the cigarette bag?"
Chu Yao: "The emperor will definitely interrogate Eunuch Fu himself. Anyone who knows about royal scandals will not be able to live."
Shi Fuxin's complexion changed.
The cigarette bag belonged to her, and it was because of her inquiry that Eunuch Fu told about the empress dowager's stealing. She couldn't just watch the two of them die.
Things happened because of her, even if they visited the palace at night, they had to be rescued.
With this thought, Shi Fuxin suddenly looked at Chu Yao.
This guy said so much earlier, did he just want to tell her that she must not expose the strength of the supreme master?
Chu Yao knew that she was the supreme master?
Or did Chu Yao already know that she was Bai Yueguang?
Once her Bai Yueguang's identity is exposed, it's no wonder the emperor doesn't fear her!
"I want to save Eunuch Fu and the cigarette bag, can you help me?"
Shi Fuxin tugged on Chu Yao's sleeve and shook it.
Chu Yao had no expression on his face: "The person the emperor wants to kill, you asked me to rescue him, rescued the father and son of the cigarette bag, and folded me in, so, are you willing?"
Shi Fuxin quickly let go of her hand: "No, if you can't get out of your body, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now."
Chu Yao's complexion relaxed a bit: "I will find a way about Fu Gonggong and the cigarette bag."
Shi Fuxin: "...you don't have to make trouble, they are my people, I will save them myself!"
Chu Yao looked at her with an ugly expression: "How are you going to save it? Eunuch Fu and the cigarette bag are in the palace now, are you going to break into the palace? Are you using the Palace of Liangyi and the Imperial Guard as a display?"
"But I can't let you take risks." Shi Fuxin thought of an idea, and quickly looked at Chu Yao: "I can make fake death medicine, and you can use it to operate it. Is it possible to save people?"
Chu Yao: "How real can your fake death medicine be?"
Shi Fuxin: "The kind that the imperial doctor can't detect."
Chu Yao: "When will it be ready?"
Shi Fuxin: "I'll go back to make it now and send it to you tonight."
Chu Yao: "Okay, then go back quickly."
Shi Fuxin got up and was about to leave, stopped after walking a few steps, and looked back at Chu Yao: "The emperor is afraid of women taking power, what about the eldest prince?"
Chu Yao asked without replying: "If the eldest prince is also afraid, what are you going to do?"
Shi Fuxin laughed and said, "The emperor has many sons."
Chu Yao looked deeply at Shi Fuxin: "What kind of person is the eldest prince, you should find out for yourself."
