After dinner, Yun Shang asked the servants to pack up and left directly.
After returning to Jinxiu Palace, Yun Shang played with Chengye for a while. When he was tired and went to bed, Yun Shang took a look at the sky outside and began to read a book.
It was not until 2 o'clock that she heard some noise from outside.
"Your Majesty, it's Luo Yi here."
Yun Shang stood up and walked out of the inner hall quickly.
"Your Majesty, Qian Yin asked me to submit this register to you." Luo Yi handed over a pamphlet.
Yun Shang took it over and Luo Yi continued, "Qian Yin said that time was too hasty. She could only contact the people of the eight clans in the city who were executed in the palace incident that day. Although there were not many people, they were all leaders of all the clans.
This plan is also led by the people from the eight noble clans. If they can stop it, most of the plans discussed by those people before can't be carried out.
Qian Yin has asked the spies to contact these people in the name of your majesty and invited them to meet at Laifeng Tower in the city tomorrow morning. People from other clans are already in contact, and all contacts can be completed before dark tomorrow at the latest. "
Yun Shang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then she ordered, "Send someone to decorate the Laifeng Tower in advance. All the people from the noble clans who come to the tower at that time can directly drive inside, and then arrange for someone to lead them in one by one.
At that time, the room will be separated by screens or other things, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone will be placed on the table. If they have any opinions, they can write them on paper to make sure that everyone can not know who the other person is during the whole process. And arrange some spies to inform the people who will come later, so that they won't have to worry about their future. "
Luo Yi nodded, "Your majesty, you are so considerate. These clans are all familiar with each other. Many of them can recognize each other even if they hear the voice. And the people who will come later are all coveting the position of the chief of the clan, so they certainly don't want to be discovered their ambitions. In this way, we can hide their identities... "
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking about," replied Yun Shang.
Luo Yi cupped her hands and said, "I'll arrange it right away."
Yun Shang nodded, "Go ahead with your business."
As soon as Luo Yi left, Yun Shang took the pamphlet back to her room and flipped it over on the couch. Then Qian Zhuo gently moved the wick for Yun Shang so that the light became brighter. She said with concern, "It's late, your majesty. Don't you go to bed?"
"I have to finish reading this pamphlet. It records the detailed information of the people who will come later. I have to read it first to know how to treat these people. After that, it's almost time to go out of the palace," Yun Shang said.
Seeing that Qian Zhuo frowned and didn't agree with her, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't matter. I just stay up late once in a while. His majesty has been staying up all night these days."
Qian Zhuo sighed, "If we had known there would be so many troubles waiting for us, your majesties should not have dealt with them all."
"Why should we keep those who have different intentions? Sooner or later, they would be eliminated. It was a rare opportunity to get rid of them, so we should not miss it. If we kept waiting, we might not have such a good opportunity. By that time, it will be difficult to find those people out with evil intentions.
It's better to work harder now than to be prepared for someone to plot against us all day long," said Yun Shang while glancing at the pamphlet casually, "Although his majesty and I haven't discussed anything about this matter, I understand that his majesty most likely wants to completely settle it before the enthronement ceremony. There's still a month left before the enthronement ceremony. The time is a little tight, so it's exceptionally difficult at the time being.
But it doesn't matter. Just hold on for a while."
When they arrived at the Laifeng Tower, Qian Yin was already waiting for them there.
"Of the eight great clans, a total of five clans' masters died in the palace incident that day. Today, the five people from the five great clans are all coveting and capable of the position of the clan masters. Some of them even have the ability better than the original clan masters. However, because they were born from the concubines or were not born high for other reasons, they could get the position of the clan masters," reported Qian Yin.
Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "I like to cooperate with such people very much. They are ambitious and capable, and they have suffered a lot because they were not born high. And I... am quite similar to them.
Such people will try their best to seize every opportunity to climb up, and will have grateful feelings for the person who once has helped them."
Qian Yin nodded, "I also have a close understanding of these people. As your majesty put it, the lower the birth, the more unscrupulous they are, and the more grateful they are."
"How many people are there?" Yun Shang asked.
"Everyone is here," answered Qian Yin smilingly, "Such a kind of people have another characteristic, that is, if there is a chance in front of them, they will never be late and let the opportunity slip away secretly."
Yun Shang smiled, "Let's go inside."
After entering the room, Yun Shang found that the secret guards had well-arranged everything inside.
Just like the private room in the opera house, the audience could see the people on the stage, but they didn't know who was next to them. However, Yun Shang could see clearly their faces and expressions.
Yun Shang took off her cloak and looked up...
