Di Renjie held his Dragon Mace and turned it around for a while, but it was useless in the end. It was not that he was taboo about not using other countries' swords to kill his own officials, but mainly because Hu Hai did not give him a chance.
No one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty was a fool. How could they not understand what Hu Hai wanted to do, which was to gather all the wronged souls in the imperial capital, and then use this resentment to go straight to the heavens, which is similar to the principle of the Wrath of Heaven Sword.
But the only thing we need to worry about is whether enough people in the city will die!
Therefore, Hu Hai's first order was to have Gong Shuqiu shut down the stone giants, the mechanisms that hunted monsters.
It's just that Hu Hai didn't explain the reason clearly, and he didn't stop the rescue of Liumen and various yamen, which gave the ministers no reason to remonstrate. After all, as ministers, you can't blame the emperor because of your own 'guessing', and this is also the case. The reason why Di Renjie couldn't beat him face to face in the end.
When the ministers came out of the main hall, Bao Zheng and Di Renjie looked at each other, and then began to communicate silently with the other ministers, and then... the chamberlains ran out of the palace like crazy. What they passed on were the orders of the ministers, and the orders of each yamen. All the forces gave up their own defense and took to the streets to chase monsters and protect the safety of civilians. Many ministers even mobilized their own home guards!
This will be a race against time, and also a game between the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Dynasty. Although no one uses a knife between the monarchs and ministers, the result of the game is the difference between life and death.
"Bang! Traitors and traitors! Traitors and traitors!"
Hu Hai ruthlessly swept away all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. As the emperor, naturally everyone in the palace was his spy. Naturally, he also knew the orders of the ministers.
In fact, he deliberately did not say it directly. After all, he could already think of the reactions of those courtiers. Huh, admonishment? Deathly admonishment? They are just a bunch of civilians. Is it more precious than my life?
Damn it, is the education of loyalty to the king and patriotism all in vain?
Hu Hai gently touched the formation on his chest. The Sunflower eunuch outside had already brought back the Heaven's Wrath Heart Technique.
It was a fairly new book. In fact, the previous Heavenly Wrath mentality had been destroyed by Bai Qi, but he copied it again from Yin Man's mouth. After all, Yin Man originally said that merit and luck should be able to Change the situation of zombies being cursed by heaven, so he will take it seriously.
He quickly took the secret book from Eunuch Sunflower's hand. In fact, he had read it a long time ago, but it was inevitable that he was a little nervous now and wanted to be more secure.
At the same time, the ministers did not leave. They were all waiting in the palace for the final moment when the dust settled.
"Master Di, Master Bao, please take a step to speak!"
While everyone was anxiously waiting, an inconspicuous palace maid suddenly approached.
Everyone found it strange. The harem didn't mean that you couldn't talk to the courtiers, but even if you were to convey the message, it should be a eunuch. It was really rare for a palace maid to come.
However, this palace maid looks dignified and generous. Although her status is low, she has a demeanor that is neither humble nor arrogant.
Di Renjie looked at her with interest, "Which empress are you from?"
It is not yet certain whether Hu Hai is dead or alive. If he dies, then who will succeed him will become a top priority, which is also likely to be the trigger for palace changes. After all, there are several empresses in the harem who are not easy to get along with. .
Yes, the struggle in the harem also existed in the Qin Dynasty. In the beginning, before Hu Hai became the new emperor, he only had Concubine Wan Guifei as his favorite concubine. Later, he found Jiang Yufeng from the imperial examination, because he regarded it as a kind of love for Li Yuanfang.
victory, so he was very favored for a while. However, as Li Yuanfang became less and less concerned, he had obviously had enough of Jiang Yufeng, and Jiang Yufeng was pregnant, so the favor naturally became increasingly distant.
Then Hu Hai successively brought the daughters of several ministers into the harem for reasons of checks and balances, using marriage to consolidate his power. Several of those ministers were behind Di Renjie at this time, and the maid came as soon as they arrived.
caught their attention.
In this harem, the competition is nothing more than whose child can ascend the dragon throne last, so they pay special attention to this matter. By the way, if an imperial concubine gets help from Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, it will undoubtedly be a huge help. How can they ignore it?
?
However, the mood of these ministers at this time is also very complicated. Compared with Concubine Wan Gui and Jiang Yufeng, their daughters are naturally much less powerful. Therefore, if they really fight for the throne, they will most likely lose, so only Hu Hai is alive, and they
Only then can the interests be guaranteed.
However, if Hu Hai really becomes a zombie, he will be immortal for life. Is it possible that he will occupy the throne for life? Then it will be useless even if their daughter gives birth to a prince. There can't be a prince for life!
Tangled!
The palace maid briefly glanced at the ministers behind her, and said slightly, "I am Fu Shanxiang, a third-level scholar in the new department, and now I am the general manager of Yuhuang Pavilion."
Bao Zheng was slightly surprised, "A fellow Jinshi in the top three ranks became a female official in the harem..."
He couldn't continue talking in the middle of his words. Well, since Hu Hai thought he had defeated Jiang Yufeng and defeated Li Yuanfang, he gradually became more and more unscrupulous, and the originally discussed matter of selecting talents through the imperial examination gradually became less important.
In other words, a bit extreme!
Everything Li Yuanfang has ever mentioned must be denied, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.
This resulted in many female Jinshi being trapped in the Hanlin Academy and not being allowed to go outside. It was considered that this female official named Fu was able to find a position in the harem with some means.
"Jade Emperor Pavilion?" Di Renjie didn't care about the other person's background as a Jinshi. Not only did he know what Hu Hai had done, he also knew that Li Qingzhao wanted to drag away many female Jinshis! Haha, he knew it all, but do you think he cared?
No!
"At this time, I had imagined that many women in the harem would take action, but I never imagined that the first person to come to us would be the people from Yuhuang Pavilion."
When Di Renjie said this, the other ministers seemed to have thought of something and shook their heads in amusement.
Yuhuang Pavilion is also called Yuhuang Palace. It was a place specially built by Hu Hai for Jiang Yufeng, which shows that she is favored. But the problem is that although Jiang Yufeng is pregnant with the dragon seed, she is still nearly a month away from giving birth!
You don’t even know whether you are a boy or a girl now. Everything will be settled in a month. Why are you anxious now?
It can be said that all the concubines in the harem are competitors, but Jiang Yufeng is not qualified to compete at this time, even though she was indeed the most favored.
Of course, normally speaking, Jiang Yufeng should be thinking about how to protect herself at this time, but because Jiang Yufeng once had a relationship with Li Yuanfang, and his sister Jiang Yuyan has always been Li Yuanfang's woman, everyone doesn't think she will
What danger.
In this way, Fu Shanxiang's arrival seems a bit confusing.
"Your Majesty, I'm inviting you." Fu Shanxiang didn't say why, but just repeated stubbornly.
Bao Zheng and Di Renjie looked at each other funny, "Well, anyway, just wait and go see them."
The other ministers had nothing to say when they saw this, and Jiang Yufeng did not threaten them. Naturally, they were not worried that Bao Zheng and Di Renjie would change anything. Is it just some kind of nostalgia?
Similarly, when the news reached Hu Haina, he didn't care. He just sneered and said: "That bitch probably thinks that I am not good enough, so he wants to return to Li Yuanfang's arms!"
There are many people who think like him. Slowly, a shameless image becomes established. Things are like this sometimes, people only want to believe what they think.
And sometimes, the truth surprises everyone!
…
The Jade Phoenix Pavilion is really luxurious, and I don’t know whether Hu Hai did it on purpose or not. It’s a bit like hiding a beauty in a golden house.
However, after opening the door, Bao Zheng and Di Renjie felt quite comfortable.
The interior decoration was obviously done by Jiang Yufeng herself. There were many books and things from her daughter's house, which made both old guys have the idea of reading at night.
"I heard that the empress came from a rough background, but I didn't expect the decoration to be so elegant." Bao Zheng said meaningfully, loud enough for Fu Shanxiang in front to hear.
"Although the empress was born in the martial arts world, she was able to take part in the imperial examination, and her talent is no less than that of the men in the world... I have read the test papers that the empress had. If she had not entered the palace and become the empress, she would have been a concubine!"
Di Renjie heard the admiration in Fu Shanxiang's words. It was obvious that Jiang Yufeng had accepted him. However, Di Renjie didn't understand. If the harem empress bribed people, shouldn't she be bribing the servants? Why did she find someone who had also participated in the imperial examination?
Woolen cloth?
Haha, the people being bribed are of different levels and have different ambitions. It seems... interesting!
This is not the first time that Bao Zheng and Di Renjie have collaborated. They can understand each other's thoughts just by looking at each other.
The two of them moved forward calmly and entered the inner hall. The first thing they saw was not Jiang Yufeng, but Cao Zhengchun next to her!
hiss!
Bao Zheng and Di Renjie gasped at the same time. Wasn't Cao Zhengchun sent by Hu Hai to invite Bai Qi? Why is he here?
At this time, Cao Zhengchun had his back to them. He did not look back, but washed his hands in a golden washbasin. A few drops of red liquid sloshed out, making the two of them feel something was wrong.
Cao Zhengchun...just killed someone!
Jiang Yufeng was leaning back slightly on the cushion at this time. Her big belly seemed to be inconvenient, but her expression was very peaceful, without any sadness at all.
The two of them saluted Jiang Yufeng at the same time, and then asked, "Eunuch Cao, who did you just kill?"
Cao Zhengchun wiped his hands with a towel, as if he had done something insignificant, "Yu Huatian, Su Peisheng, Qin Luan... and some other masters around the empress."
"..."
The two of them were speechless. This is about to launch a palace coup. The problem is, you haven't been born yet. Do you think you want to be the queen? I'm afraid no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty would be willing. Even the five generals wouldn't be willing, eh.
, that guy Li Yuanfang might move a bench to watch the fun.
Bao Zheng said nothing, but Di Renjie said with a smile: "I thought you would kill those little princes or concubines!"
Jiang Yufeng's expression was a little lazy, "The concubines are all the daughters of the ministers, so we can't destabilize the government and the public. As for the little princes, they won't cause any obstacles, so why touch them?"
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, then looked at her belly rudely, "Are you sure you can keep the prince?"
"Not sure, but it's the same for princes and princesses."
"How can it be the same?" Bao Zheng looked at her strangely, he must be too confident.
"Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, you will all support his ascension to the throne as the new emperor!"
