The empress dowager clapped her palms and the palace maids walked in from outside.

"Go to the Grand Secretary's Eight, ask, how many tickets are there between the second place and Li Qingyao now?" the Empress Dowager ordered.

The palace maids retreated only, and the empress dowager picked up a document, which was written by the Great Honglu, saying that Liang Gu was too few and had talented people, and was well-versed in literature and filial, brotherly, loyal and trustworthy, and wanted to recommend him as the Secretary of State.

The Empress Dowager heard that Liang Gutai was not interested in the career of the government and liked to be a writer. She was involved in the talented literati lingering in the Zhangtai of Chuguan. Now she is willing to become an official, which is probably related to Li Qingyao.

This is good. The Liang family is Yu Huai’s top family, but their attitude towards the royal power struggle has always been vague. Perhaps this can be used as a breakthrough.

The queen mother waved her hand and approved it.

"Return to the Queen Mother, there are about 170,000 votes left now..." The palace maid came back to report.

The empress dowager knocked her head: "I have been ahead of 170,000 votes in just a few days. Why is that Qi Liner so unbearable this year... Then add 200,000 votes to the second place, and add it in five days! Then send the Hidden Rat troops out to pretend to be Qi Liner's supporters and provoke them in front of Li Qingyao's supporters."

"Here!" Several palace maids retreated.

"Don't blame me for this, it's all for the treasury."

The Empress Dowager sighed softly and said to herself. Judging from her familiar appearance, she obviously has done many similar things in the past.

Li Qingyao is still filial piety, but it is almost over. The Empress Dowager plans to wait until the beauty Yu Huai is over before summoning her to the palace as an official. Now she wants to see how Li Qingyao will deal with this beauty Yu Huai.

Yu Huaimei has just begun, and the methods of each family have not yet been revealed. If Li Qingyao cannot win the leader, how can she be on the list of celebrating?

Qingyao, don't let me down...

Zhang Jianzhong strode out of the palace gate. The sun was warm in late autumn, but the wind was a little chilly. Zhang Jianzhong was not afraid of the cold, he was in a good mood.

The carriage he had already let him go back when he came. He walked slowly outside the palace, no different from ordinary people. It was impossible to tell that he was the highest-ranking general in Yu Huaiguo, the killing god who had just cut off tens of thousands of heads.

In fact, Zhang Jianzhong doesn't like fighting, nor does he like killing people. When he was young, he wanted to be a swordsman wandering around the world. He never thought that he would join the army one day, nor did he think that he could climb to the position of supreme commander of the kingdom step by step.

All this is for Ruan Silian, the empress dowager who is sitting on the throne now. But this is what she owe her, Zhang Jianzhong is willing to do so.

He could feel that Si Lian's sister became increasingly stranger. She is now the real king of a country, and everything is being calculated, including her attitude and feelings towards him.

Zhang Jianzhong knew very well how the Empress Dowager used him, and also knew the other party's fear of using it. All Zhang Jianzhong could do was to keep her strong and make her valuable use. Because, at least when she shouted "Brother Jianzhang", she should still be thinking about him in her heart.

"The villain has seen the general!" At this time, seven servants from the He family walked along the road, and the leader was a beautiful girl.

"Say." Zhang Jianzhong said lightly.

The girl bowed with a smile and respectfully handed over an invitation: "My grand lieutenant will host all the officials at home tonight, and the general will be welcomed to attend. You can bring your family freely!"

Zhang Jianzhong looked up and down at the other party: "You are the adopted daughter of Taiwei Gao, Qi Lin'er?"

"The General has actually heard of the little woman's name, it's so honorable!"

Zhang Jianzhong smiled. How could he not have heard of Yu Huai’s first beauty last year? But the empress dowager said that the first place this year might be given to Li Qingyao. Thinking of this, he became more and more curious about who Li Qingyao was.

"Who are there other people besides me who are there?"

"There are Han Zongzheng, Ouyang Sinong, Xu Weiwei, Xun Lingjun..."

"Is there any Li Ze and Shizhong Li?"

"Uh...some!"

Zhang Jianzhong took the invitation: "Okay, I will take my wife tonight."

In fact, you can go to such a banquet or not, and you can give Gao Taiwei or not. However, Zhang Jianzhong happened to want to see what kind of person Li Qingyao was. By the way, he asked her about Kun Jiyu and agreed.

Since you can bring your family, Li Ze should take Li Qingyao there. After all, the most famous junior in the Li family is Li Qingyao.

...

"Go back and report to my second uncle that I have an appointment with my friend today, so it's not easy to break the appointment for no reason, so I won't go to Taiwei Gao." Li Qingyao said to the Li family indifferently.

"Here." The servant of the Li family bent respectfully, "The villain took his leave."

The soundtrack teased: "How could you make an appointment today? Are you afraid of stage fright in front of the big guys?"

"Today, Taiwei Gao invited all officials to a banquet, and Zhang Jianzhong should also go. I am still far from meeting him, so I have to slowly scrutinize his patience."

"What, why has Qi Liner's tickets increased so quickly recently?"

"This is not normal! It must be Qi Lin'er who voted for herself!"

"Insider! This is definitely insider. You guys are deliberately trying to please the Taiwei!"

Yu Huai Meiren’s votes announcement office, Li Qingyao’s supporters were dissatisfied when they saw that Qi Liner’s votes received more than Li Qingyao.

"What's wrong with me? Qi Lin'er has been the number one beauty in Yu Huai for two consecutive years. Why should your family compete with her?"

"That's right, it was obviously abnormal that Li Qingyao's votes rose so quickly a few days ago!"

"Every ticket from Lin'er is made by us with real money. If you poor guys can't afford to play, don't play!"

Qi Lin'er's supporters immediately retorted, Li Qingyao's supporters were furious, and the two sides immediately fought on the street, with plenty of martial ethics.

This situation happened every day in the next few days, and Qi Liner's side was obviously well prepared. For a time, various rumors that were beneficial to Qi Liner spread throughout the streets and alleys, and Li Qingyao's past misconduct was also dug out.

"No, we can't sit still and wait for death like this!"

"But Qi Lin'er is the adopted daughter of the Grand Marshal, and the team behind her is professional! And she won the championship for two consecutive years, and there are so many supporters!"

"Now it is said that the day before yesterday, the envoy of the Monu Kingdom met. One of the women was very good at dancing and no one in our country could compare with them. As a result, Qi Lin'er immediately performed a dance, attracting hundreds of birds to come to the court, and convinced the envoy of the Monu Kingdom..."

"What a thing? Taiwei Gao is so unkind! There is no such coincidence. It was definitely arranged by him!"

"Brother Liang, everyone else is trying hard to get votes and communicate with supporters. What exactly did Qingyao think? Why didn't there be any movement at all, it was too hurtful!"

In the villa, Li Qingyao's supporters gathered together. After discussing for a long time, their eyes turned to Liang Gutai.

Liang Gu smiled too much: "You also know Qingyao's character. If it weren't for the selection of Yu Huai's beauty, she would have withdrawn long ago. She wouldn't care much about this false reputation, so she has never taken any action."

"That's also..."

"I know what you want to say. Today I will introduce you to someone."

Liang Gutai smiled slightly.
