【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 162 The Queen Mother who picked up the bargain is very upset 8

With the information provided by the system, Yun Xi quickly understood the forces in the capital.

The military power is basically in the hands of the emperor, but Marquis Weinan has a family general team of about 3,000 people. This team is the descendants of some veterans who fought in the war in the southern border more than ten years ago. The late emperor did not say anything at the time, so it has been preserved until now. Among them, there are also many young talents who serve the country.

The rest of the military power was handed over to the young emperor before the late emperor's death. This was also a protection for Lian Cheng to prevent the ministers who were entrusted with the care of the young emperor from being unwilling to give up power. As for the original owner, he only had the Phoenix Seal and inherited a lot of property.

"As of now, as long as Lian Cheng is not too incompetent, maintaining the status quo will not be a problem."

System: "Don't jump to conclusions."

"Okay, but I also need to make some preparations." Yun Xi took out 100,000 taels of silver notes from her private room. This was all the cash she had. After taking it out, only 20,000 taels of gold were left.

"Hua'er, Chen'er, Yuye, Xiangyi, come here."

Xiang Yi and Xiang Er are two puppets she bought. They look no different from real people, but their fighting power is one level higher than that of simulated robots.

Let Xiang Yi go, leaving Xiang Er and Yun Er, Yun San, Yun Si and Yun Wu to protect herself. Yun Er and the other four were bought by her in the previous mission. The setting understands her preferences better and is very useful. Xiang Er is good at martial arts, so it should be enough.

"Hua'er, I remember you know some Kung Fu?"

After paying her respects, Nanny Hua nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, my family used to run an escort agency. My parents and brothers all knew martial arts, and I learned quite a bit from them. Later, they had an accident, so I entered the palace to seek a way out."

"Hmm~ Hua'er, you know kung fu, and so does Xiangyi. As for Chen'er and Yuye, they're thoughtful and good at managing people. I asked you to come here because I have a secret mission for you to do." Yun Xi pulled out two contracts from the box. "This year, there have been constant small disasters across the country, and the number of refugees in and around the capital has increased. I want to select people from here to form a team and give them a home."

Yuye was shocked, "What does the Empress Dowager want?"

"Yes, an army, an invincible army."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua immediately knelt down and asked, "Madam?"

"Don't be nervous. The mountain in the western suburbs of the capital belongs to me. Bring the money and go recruit people. Hua'er, you will be in charge of recruiting people. Look for children with good aptitudes, whether boys or girls. Xiangyi will be in charge of teaching kung fu, Chen'er will coordinate the overall situation, and Yuye will be in charge of logistics."

Yuye's palms were sweating from nervousness. "Is this possible?"

"Absolutely. Keep the number of people around 30,000. It would be best to find some orphans who voluntarily follow you. Don't force them." Yun Xi thought for a moment. "For the first two years, don't give them any monthly silver. Hua'er Chen'er, you will be responsible for cultivating their loyalty. Once they are loyal enough, you can start considering the monthly silver. One hundred thousand taels should be enough for three years."

"To begin with, find some older children to build a house. Xiangyi knows how to build a house. As for the beds, look at this bed. You can make more of these kangs. They are warm in winter and can accommodate many people. As for clothing and food, the palace warehouses have a lot of cotton, linen, and cotton piled up. You can secretly take them away and use them. You will need to find a way to buy food. One hundred thousand taels should be enough to buy food for three years."

Yun Xi talked freely.

Nanny Hua, Nanny Chen and Yuye listened attentively, but Xiangyi still had a blank expression on his face.

The matter was settled like this, and Yun Xi erased the records of the four people in the palace, ostensibly to let them leave the palace and live freely.

The absence of four people in the palace did not seem to have any impact, because there were more than twenty concubines staying with her every day, making it very lively.

There are many people and a lot of friction. Every day, many people come to Yun Xi to mediate lawsuits. Fortunately, Yun Xi asks them to always read the laws of Lian State, and any mistakes can be dealt with according to the law.

"Xiu'er, Jinzhi, keep a close eye on them."

Madam Xiu nodded repeatedly, waved her hand to let Jinzhi out, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, have you let Madam Hua and the others leave the palace?"

Yun Xi looked at her, and after taking a closer look, she saw that Xiu'er seemed to be secretly happy?

"Why? You don't like flowers?"

"I don't like them. I don't like anyone except the Empress and the three young masters." Madam Xiu nodded heavily and said angrily, "In those hard times, no one helped us. Now that the masters have become prosperous, they come to help us."

"Xiu'er, I have always remembered your hard work. You are the only one I trust the most. You must complete the task I give you. Once the queen gives birth to her firstborn son, you can let them go."

Aunt Xiu patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them and will never let them do anything bad."

"Good job!"

Yun Xi patted her shoulder affectionately, and Xiu'er was immediately satisfied and walked out with a proud and confident look.

Yun Xi was lying on the couch reading a book when she heard the system say that the Meng family was preparing to marry into the Shufei family.

"Marriage? Let me see the Meng family. They've already considered the third generation, right? Meng Zhangyuan is sixty-six this year, and the most impressive of his sons is only a Juren? There are a few educated grandsons, and Concubine Shu's family, the Anchang Bo Lin family, is quite powerful."

The system gave her a detailed analysis. "Meng Zhangyuan at least has the title of Imperial Tutor. An Changbo is currently in a state of turmoil, but once he loses his position as the Minister of the Guard, as the Minister of War, he won't actually have as much power as the other Ministers of the Guard. Furthermore, his family comes from the military, so he knows whether his nephews and nieces have the talent to practice martial arts. He has long wanted to transition to a civil service position."

"I see."

Yun Xi understood what was going on. This was exactly the situation of the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber. It seemed prosperous, but in fact, it was full of crises.

"I wish him success, hahaha."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's uncle has arrived, and His Majesty is accompanying him."

Xiu'er, who had just been out for a while, ran in hurriedly with a smile on her face.

"Why is Yuchang here? Is your sister-in-law here?"

"The Marquis's wife didn't come. She said she was pregnant and was recuperating at home. The uncle of the king came in person to announce the good news."

"Really? May our ancestors bless us, our Xiang family finally has an heir."

Soon, Yun Xi saw her younger brother, Xiang Yuchang, who was 32 years old, with a thin face and a tall body. His complexion was slightly pale and he looked radiant.

"Chang'er, is your sister-in-law really pregnant?"

"Empress Dowager, it's true. It was just found out. It's been three months. My brother has finally lived up to our ancestors." Xiang Yuchang looked relieved, his face full of tears.

Lian Cheng quickly comforted him, "Uncle, you and your aunt are blessed, everything will go smoothly for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. With your words, I feel at ease. When Ruer gives birth to the children, I will take care of them every day." Xiang Yuchang was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.

"It should have been done long ago. Aunt Ling beside me knows medicine and can deliver babies. Bring her back and let her take good care of my younger siblings."
