Yun Shang blinked her eyes and said, "The seventh master of the Cao clan always pretend to be muddleheaded, drinking and gambling everyday. But he doesn't have the habit of going to brothels and you doesn't marry any concubine. He is admirable."
Yun Shang nodded her head. She had a good impression of Cao Han. "Although his wife is the daughter of a butcher, he has given enough respect to her after he married her. Such a person is worth helping."
Yun Shang flipped through the pamphlet roughly and handed it to Qian Yin. "Put it away for me. Put it on my desk after returning to the palace. I'll look through it when I have nothing else to do. I should know the five noble clans well."
Qian Zhuo took the pamphlet and said, "When did your majesty prepare the five imperial edicts? I knew nothing about it. Besides, your majesty didn't receive the pamphlet until afternoon. From afternoon to evening, you only went to the Taiji Palace to meet his majesty at dinner. Did you ask his majesty for the imperial edicts at that time? But you didn't bring the imperial edicts with you when you came out of the Taiji Palace, did you?
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help smiling. She opened the compartment beside her, took out a roll of imperial edict and handed it to Qian Zhuo.
Qian Zhuo took it over curiously and looked at Yun Shang in confusion.
"Open it." Then Qian Zhuo opened it, only to find that there was only a roll of bright yellow cloth inside, without a word, not even the embroidered pattern on the imperial edict.
"Well..."
Yun Shang smiled, "When I was reading the pamphlet handed over by Qian Yin in the palace, I suddenly came up with this idea. I made them by myself with the cloth sent by the Shangyi Bureau, which was used to make sachet for his majesty. I'm really not confident in my own embroidery work, so I asked the Shangyi Bureau to prepare more cloth, which is just in use."
Qian Zhuo opened her mouth wide and said, "Your majesty wants five imperial edicts. If you go to ask for it from his majesty, he will definitely give it to you. Why do you have to..."
"Before everything is settled, I will not give them anything easily. This... This is just a bait. When they really get what they want, I will personally ask for the imperial edicts from his majesty and send it to them."
Qian Zhuo nodded, "You're right."
"Your majesty, you asked those people how they planned to attack you. Is there any news?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Just some old tricks. They plan to post a list of officials who were executed in Changting Garden in the whole Jin City, and then spread the rumor that as I said that blood is the most festive color at my birthday party, his majesty killed dozens of officials in order to make me happy."
Qian Zhuo widened her eyes.
Seeing her expression, Yun Shang smiled. "It's said in the folklore that in order to make Bao Si smile, King You of Zhou Dynasty lit the Beacon Tower and made fun of the dukes. Now in the rumor, I have gone further. At least Bao Si just let King You make fun of the dukes, but didn't kill anyone. But his majesty killed dozens of ministers to celebrate my birthday."
"After such rumors spread, the families of the dead courtiers will hold funeral for them. At that time, people will see that so many officials have died, and with those rumors, they will believe them."
"Then, they will buy off several temples around the city, as well as some monks and Taoist priests to go out and wander around, saying that I am a demon. If I continue to be the Empress of the State of Xia, the State of Xia will definitely perish within a year. At the same time, those clans will also try their best to incite the people in the city to rise up together. They will kneel outside the four palace gates and beg the emperor to abolish and kill the Empress."
