in this world.
In Daxia, Cixi was the queen of Li Ye's father, Emperor Xiaxuan.
Born in a powerful family, members of the wife's family have mastered a large number of troops in Daxia.
Moreover, the only heirs of Emperor Xuan were Li Ye and Li Zhen, who was captured by the Huns.
Li Zhen, the eldest son, was born of Cixi.
As for Li Ye, he was just the heir born to a civilian daughter by chance when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty happened to be there.
It was not until the age of 13 that Li Ye, whose biological mother died of illness, returned to the palace, and was not valued by Emperor Xuan, and was named an idle prince who did not even live in the capital.
On the other hand, Cixi, after the death of Emperor Xuan.
Then she became the empress dowager of the East Palace, and buried almost all the concubines of Emperor Xuan.
Only Lu Pheasant, who stood behind the aristocratic family, was spared and became the Empress Dowager of the West Palace.
And after her own son Li Zhen ascended the throne, Cixi used this to listen to the government behind the curtain and took charge of the military and political power of Daxia.
Under Cixi's leadership, Cixi and Li Zhen's mother and son wantonly eliminated dissidents, appointed eunuchs and cruel officials, and killed Zhongliang.
In the reign of Emperor Xuan, Daxia had never been given a gift.
Starting from Li Zhen, they began to expropriate and expropriate, and wantonly searched for the people's fat and anointment.
As a result, the originally thriving Great Xia is now in dire straits and uprisings continue.
It can be said.
In today's Great Xia, after Li Zhen was captured, the court is still controlled by Cixi.
So, how do you break the situation?
Think for a moment.
Li Ye had already thought of his own answer.
Above the court, what is the most important thing?
Naturally, it is checks and balances!
Li Ye believed it.
This huge hall.
Certainly not monolithic.
Right now, Cixi's faction is naturally very powerful.
But Li Ye didn't believe that this court would be the only one of the Cixi family.
The present self.
The most important thing should be to find factions that are hostile to Cixi during the deduction process.
After all, in this court, Li Ye is familiar with many "names"!
Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant of the West Palace, Taiwei Sima Yi, Grand Sikong Cao Cao...
So many big names.
Li Ye couldn't believe that these ambitious people were really the same as Qin Hui and He Shen.
Was it on the same warship as Cixi?
after all.
Isn't an enemy's enemy a friend?
Even this "friend" is an equally dangerous careerist like Cixi and the others.
But Li Ye knew.
Judging from the current situation I am in.
I'm afraid my only choice is this!
Thinking of this, Li Ye didn't have any hesitation, and just had a thought: "The deduction begins!"
Chapter 3 Turning Point Appears, Must Kill the Demon Queen
[Start deduction! 】
[Background: Daxia; Deduction time: The first day of the first month of the first year of Tianqi; Host: Li Ye. 】
[At noon on the first day of the first month of the first year of Tianqi, you ascended the throne as emperor in a turbulent environment. On the altar, all the officials knelt down and shouted long live. You became the seventh emperor of Daxia, with the year name Tianqi. 】
[Soon you find that your situation is not good, you are just a puppet emperor, with no power and power, and no foundation in the court. 】
[The Xiongnu army will come to the capital in one month. As the emperor of Daxia, you are very worried. 】
[In the evening of the first day of the first lunar month in the first year of Tianqi, someone warned you not to interfere in the matter of resisting the Huns in seven days. You have no foundation in the court, so you decide to be soft for the time being and wait and see what happens]
[On the morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month of the first year of Tianqi, you kept silent in the hall. The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace felt that the Huns were too powerful and the Great Xia would not be able to win. 】
[Shangshu Heshen, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Qin Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Qian Qianyi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, agreed with Cixi's proposal]
[Taiwei Sima Yi, Da Sima Cao Cao, and some officials with five surnames and Qiwang resolutely opposed, but under the heavy pressure of Cixi, they failed, and all officials who opposed were dismissed from their posts. 】
[On February 30st of the first year of Tianqi, [-] Xiongnu troops approached the city, and everyone in the capital was in danger. Empress Dowager Cixi sent envoys, hoping to cede land and pay compensation, so that the Xiongnu would retreat and return the former emperor Li Zhen. 】
[The Xiongnu demanded to withdraw their troops, Daxia compensated 1000 million taels of silver, thousands of beauties, ceded the fattest horse breeding land in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and professed their vassals to the Xiongnu every year.Cixi agreed. 】
[On February [-]th of the first year of Tianqi, the Huns were about to retreat. 】
[On February [-]th of the first year of Tianqi, you, as the emperor of Daxia, were forced to sign the humiliating contract of vassalization on behalf of Daxia. 】
[On February [-]th of the first year of the Apocalypse, you who signed the shameful treaty were reviled by the people and officials of Daxia.Soon, a large number of ministers impeached you, and the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Eastern Palace decided to depose you and support the former emperor Li Zhen as an enemy again!You lost your throne and were known as Emperor You in history. 】
[This deduction is over, deduction progress: 38 days. 】
Li Ye looked up.
The result this time is still within the range of his guess.
Looking in the direction of the East Palace, Li Ye's eyes were full of killing intent at this moment.
Sure enough, Cixi was still the Cixi that Li Ye knew.
He sacrificed everything for his own comfort and glory.
Any despicable treaty that humiliates the country and loses power can be agreed without hesitation.
And after signing these treaties.
My own puppet emperor.
It became the target of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Such an evildoer can be called the scourge of the country!
How can one become the Empress Dowager of Daxia?
It can be said.
From the first moment of learning about Cixi's existence.
Cixi was already a target in Li Ye's mind to kill!
If Cixi is not removed, there will be no peace in Daxia, and there will be no place for Li Ye.
But in the same way, there are Qin Hui, Qian Qianyi, these scourges and treacherous sycophants!
no doubt.
Like Cixi, they are Li Ye's biggest enemies right now!
He who is familiar with history naturally knows these so-called important ministers of the country.
One by one behind their backs, what kind of face is it?
However, rice naturally needs to be eaten bite by bite.
At this stage.
Li Ye's most important goal is naturally to prevent Cixi from giving up resisting the Xiongnu and signing a treaty that forfeit power and humiliates the country.
Fortunately.
Just as Li Ye expected.
This time the deduction, although also failed.
But it contained some information that Li Ye wanted.
When Cixi proposed to give up resistance.
While Qin Hui and others agreed, some people expressed their opposition.
Li Ye squinted his eyes and kept muttering: "Taiwei Sima Yi, Grand Sikong Cao Cao, and five surnames and Qiwang?"
"A turning point seems to have appeared?"
Li Ye knows.
Perhaps for me, these people are all wolves with their tails between their legs, staring at each other, and they are no better than Cixi.
But just as Li Ye thought before the deduction, at this stage.
The enemy of the enemy is naturally an ally.
What I have to do now is to temporarily pull this group of people to my side!
Li Ye squinted his eyes, and the information of these people kept flashing through his mind.
In today's court.
Although Cixi controls the government, it cannot be said to be monolithic.
Sima Yi and Cao Cao are both the heads of ministers who were appointed by Emperor Xuan before his death!
He is the elder of the Great Xia, with high prestige in the court, and also holds a part of the power in his hand, and is not restrained by Cixi.
These people may also be ambitious.
