Princess Medical Doctor
chapter-895

Reform doesn't happen overnight. Not to mention, the Emperor was weak now, but even if the Emperor was strong, it will take countless time and energy to mobilize the interests of courtiers and aristocratic families.

Since the Emperor reformed in advance, he started to quarrel with courtiers for three up to five days.

To prevent the Emperor from reforming, the courtiers approached the Emperor with trivial matters every day and let the Emperor make decisions. From time to time, they quarreled and then went to the Emperor to reason out, so that the Emperor couldn't concentrate on his work.

In the beginning, the Emperor would deal with it attentively, or listen carefully, but after a lot of times, the Emperor didn't bother to answer, and let the courtiers wrangle and quarrel.

The Emperor doesn’t respond, so the courtiers thought of other methods. When the Emperor talks about reform, the courtiers looked left and right. Anyway, they just don’t accept the Emperor’s words, or they passively sabotage. Things that can be done in an hour were delayed for another day or two.

In the face of the courtiers' lack of cooperation, and all kinds of negative sabotaging, the Emperor didn't get angry. He slowly discussed with the courtiers, and he was very patient.

At first, the courtiers were secretly complacent, thinking that their little scheme had succeeded, but after a long time, they felt something was wrong. Under Xiao Tianyao's suggestion, the courtiers quickly understood the Emperor's plan.

"The Emperor is waiting for the people of the Central Empire to support him. With the support of the Central Empire, even if we don't cooperate, the Emperor's reforms can still be carried out."

The Eastern Country and the other three dependent countries were naturally afraid of the Central Empire. The aristocratic families of various countries dare not challenge the Central Empire.

"So what if we have the support of the Central Empire? Can the Central Empire still send people to stay in our country to keep an eye on us? If the people from the Central Empire are here, we will cooperate for a while, and when they leave, we will slowly endure it and see who survives who?"

"I heard that the people from the Central Empire came this time to trouble Xiao Wangye. Say… if something happened to Xiao Wangye, what should we do?"

Although they didn't submit to Prince Xiao and did not indicate that they were from Prince Xiao's lineage, the Emperor would no longer believe them, and they could only follow Prince Xiao. If Prince Xiao fell, it would be no good for them to live.

"Xiao Wangye is not alone. As long as the Jinwuwei Army does not fall into the hands of the Emperor, Xiao Wangye's lineage will not fall." Prince Xiao's influence today was not because of his identity, but because of the military power in his hands… …

As long as the Jinwuwei Army was still in Prince Xiao's hand, no one can touch him or his lineage.

"No wonder Xiao Wangye is not worried at all." Everyone was a smart person, and they understand everything.

With military power, it doesn’t matter whether Prince Xiao was in the country, or was taken away by the Central Empire. As long as he pushes someone out to represent him, it was enough.

Moreover, today was different from the past, the current Prince Xiao was no longer alone. Behind him were the court ministers like them. If these people want to keep their current power, they cannot let Prince Xiao’s lineage fall. They don’t need Prince Xiao to speak, they will spontaneously contribute to safeguard the rights of Prince Xiao’s lineage and protect Prince Xiao’s lineage when he was away. They will fight with the emperor for power.

"Xiao Wangye takes one step and counts as three steps. The emperor is not his opponent." Knowing Prince Xiao's plan, the courtiers who were plotted by him were aggrieved but could only accept their fate. Who told them to fall into Prince Xiao's trap and that it was impossible to get off the ship.

Right now, they can only maintain the status of Prince Xiao to ensure their power.

When the courtiers were discussing Xiao Tianyao's plan, Xiao Tianyao was also telling Lin Chujiu about his plan.

It was similar to what the courtiers discussed. He was trying to use his strength to fight against the Emperor with the power of the aristocratic family, and to use the power of Prime Minister Lin to contend with the aristocratic family. Let him help to support Prince Xiao's lineage.

After Lin Chujiu heard it, she didn't close her mouth for a long time, and looked at Xiao Tianyao with admiration: "You are so insidious, does the Emperor know?"

All the courtiers have been counted in. It was very unfortunate for the Emperor to have a younger brother who thinks too deeply.

"Why do you want to reform at this time when you are the Emperor?" Xiao Tianyao couldn't hold back and pinched Lin Chujiu's nose.

How can this woman be so cute?

*Pa-* Without even thinking about it, Lin Chujiu slapped Xiao Tianyao's hand off: "We agreed, no touching." She was willing to give herself and Xiao Tianyao a chance, but it doesn't mean that they can skip the courting stage, and simply enter husband and wife mode, where they will cuddle casually.

Although, they were originally husband and wife.

"We were originally husband and wife." Xiao Tianyao looked at the red and swollen back of his hand, quite aggrieved.

Before, when Lin Chujiu still didn't let go of the matter, he could hug and kiss her. So why now that she let go, he can't even touch her?

"So?" Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao with a haughty expression, like a queen.

"Naturally, it's up to your liking. Benwang will not stop you." Prince Xiao said very unprincipled.

Lin Chujiu gave Xiao Tianyao a blank look, and said angrily, "You haven't said why the Emperor proposed reform at this moment?"

Even she, a political idiot, knows that this was not a good time for reform. If reform was needed, it should not be to increase personnel and decentralize power but to streamline departments and centralize power.

"Come here, I will tell you." Xiao Tianyao pointed to his embrace and said without blushing or panting.

Since that day, when Lin Chujiu softened, his and Lin Chujiu's positions have been reversed. It now becomes what Lin Chujiu says, is what he does.

If he protested, Lin Chujiu would look at him with red eyes and say: "Wangye, I still can't forget the pain when you broke my arm. The desolation of being locked up in prison while waiting for death. Let alone the panic of being left behind by you to face the Eldest Prince of the Central Empire alone. Of course, what is even more unforgettable was the lingering pain when the poison occurs all over my body."

When Lin Chujiu said this, she was 30% serious and 70% joking. As if she deliberately used this to choke him. But he knew that Lin Chujiu was not joking, she was serious, and haven't forgotten it.

These things that he took for granted, hurt Lin Chujiu's heart. It hurt her deeply and made her unwilling to open her heart to him for a while.

Now, Lin Chujiu was jokingly revealing the pain in her heart to him, giving him a chance to make amends, and giving them a chance.

If this opportunity was missed, he and Lin Chujiu may still be husband and wife, but they will only be husband and wife in name.

Xiao Tianyao knows what Lin Chujiu was afraid of, so he will pamper Lin Chujiu as much as possible. Of course, he will not forget to ask for some benefits for himself, such as now.

Lin Chujiu wanted to know the Emperor's purpose, so she let him hug her. Except at night, he hasn't hugged Lin Chujiu for several days.

To be honest, he thought of doing something else a little bit… …
