Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 324 Introduction

Luo Xiaoran's slightly boastful words successfully destroyed the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.

Chen Ji also knew that now was not a good time to talk about love, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing the topic and said with a serious expression:

"You can't go to Kyoto!"

The heat on Luo Xiaoran's face faded a little. She thought for a while before slowly speaking:

"I have made the worst plan. Chen Lingyi must die!"

Chen Ji understood what Luo Xiaoran meant. She wanted to do this herself. Their ideas were contradictory.

“Emperor Tianqi and Chen Lingyi are not stupid people. They have already or will soon see that… you are my weak spot!

In the situation just now, I can't hand you over to them!

The reason why I proposed that you become the Princess of Yan is to make them hesitate when they want to do something bad to you in the future."

Luo Xiaoran nodded. She certainly knew what Chen Ji meant.

"I understand your thoughts, but I, the future 'Princess of Yan', have already made my way to Emperor Tianqi, so I have to go to Kyoto.

Firstly, my identity is so conspicuous that everyone's attention will be focused on me, and you will be able to handle trade matters here more smoothly.

Secondly, the imperial court is wary of you... I shouldn't be in much danger.

Third, I still have to find an opportunity to kill Chen Lingyi!

Or do you really not care about the people in the North and want to fall out with Emperor Tianqi or even disobey his order?

Relax a little, it really doesn't have to come to that point!"

What Luo Xiaoran said made sense and Chen Ji couldn't refute it. He thought about it for a long time and finally let it go.

"If... you really must go to Kyoto, then you must understand the situation in Kyoto..."

Chen Ji focused on introducing the five major families in Kyoto to Luo Xiaoran. From strong to weak, they are the Lin family, the Jiang family, the Yun family, the Huo family, and the Tang family.

Among them, the first family, the Lin family, were the heroes who followed Taizu to conquer the world. They controlled the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice of the court. The head of the family, Lin Xiaotian, served as the Minister of War for many years.

Lin Xiaotian's eldest son, Lin Yuanfang, is currently the commander of the Imperial Guard. His daughter, Lin Zhuohua, is the empress of Emperor Tianqi. His aunt, Lin Yueyi, is the grand empress dowager, and his sister, Lin Feiyan, is the empress dowager.

The Jiang family was originally the last noble family. After Jiang Bin became the head of the family, it gradually became the second noble family. It supported the Prince of Qi Chen Xuanjing and controlled the Ministry of Revenue.

The Yun family is Chen Ji's maternal grandfather's family. They were a great family in the previous dynasty. They have been noble for generations and admired by scholars all over the world. However, due to the deliberate suppression of the Lin family, they have been declining day by day. However, they still have a say in the Ministry of Rites.

The Huo family was the maternal grandfather of the late Crown Prince Chen Xuanli. After the death of the late Crown Prince, the family suffered a severe blow. Among the younger generation, only Huo Qingyun was the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the rest were in the Ministry of Works.

The Tang family is considered a vassal of the Lin family and has many in-laws with the Lin family. The mistress of the Tang family is the cousin of Empress Dowager Lin Feiyan and is mainly in control of the Ministry of Personnel.

The more she listened, the more surprised Luo Xiaoran was. She couldn't help but complain:

"The Lin family and the Tang family are in the same group. The Lin family has military officers under them, and the Tang family has civil officials under them. To put it bluntly, as long as Lin Xiaotian wants, he can get the whole world, right?!!"

Luo Xiaoran’s words were so blunt that even though Chen Ji didn’t want to admit it, he had to admit that it was the fact.

"Fortunately, the Tang family only took over the Ministry of Personnel in the past two years, and their foundation is not yet stable. The Lin family and the Jiang family also fell out because they supported different princes behind the scenes, so there is no possibility of an alliance again."

"There is a question I have wanted to ask for a long time."

After digesting what Chen Ji said, Luo Xiaoran looked up at him with a gossipy face.
