After the Shangyuan Festival, the days gradually returned to calm. Both the court and the people calmed down from the festive atmosphere and plunged into the bustling daily life.
The new year brings new hopes and expectations, new goals and visions. Some people have lofty and ambitious goals. They want to fight for the future, gain a prominent position, and gain fame and wealth. Some people only want the coming year.
With enough food and clothing, the family can be reunited and in peace. Everything in the world, all kinds of situations, different levels, and mixed, constitute the market map of the entire society of the Ming Dynasty. There are exciting, bright and colorful places, and there are also gloomy, dark and embarrassing corners.
All in all, no matter what attitude you have towards life and what kind of life you live, life still flows ruthlessly, carrying people forward.
For many people, life is becoming more and more difficult. For example, for Empress Zhang, who is now the mother of the world, after knowing that the emperor was having a passionate relationship with another woman, Empress Zhang was anxious every day.
Empress Zhang once thought that she was an open-minded woman. Before marrying the emperor, she was also prepared for the emperor to have a group of concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. She naturally thought that she would adapt to all this. However, she was wrong. In
After learning about the incident between the emperor and the woman, the flames of jealousy burned in her heart, making her want to kill someone and vent her anger at all costs. Only then did she realize that she was such a jealous woman.
Empress Zhang's jealousy was not only towards the woman named Wan'er, but she also felt hatred toward Zhu Youtang. The couple who had been together for seventeen years and had supported each other for seventeen years were no match for a man who only saw him
It would have been fine if the emperor was such a person from the beginning, but everything in the past seventeen years collapsed, which made Empress Zhang hate Zhu Youtang extremely. He betrayed herself, betrayed
All the illusory beauty that he has brought to him in the past seventeen years is even more unacceptable than the three palaces and six courtyards he had in the beginning.
However, Empress Zhang knew that she could only keep these feelings in her heart and could not act on her temper. Especially after meeting her younger brother Zhang Yanling, she was shocked by his analysis. After thinking about it, she completely agreed with her younger brother.
Opinion. This is a huge and well-designed trap. If you don't break out calmly, you will fall into the trap and fall into an extremely passive state.
This conspiracy is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. It is just a drama about the emperor's affection for another person, and the follow-up is the key. Someone wants to lure him to explode, and then completely mess up the matter. From now on, not only does he fall out of favor, but also the status of the Zhang family
There will be no guarantee. This is a conspiracy against himself and the Zhang family. Even the Zhou family's methods are just being used by others. There are still people watching in secret, grinding their claws and waiting for him to lose control.
Therefore, in the days after returning to the palace from Zhang Yanling's residence, Empress Zhang behaved extremely calmly, as if nothing had happened. Empress Zhang herself did not expect that her acting skills were so superb, and she could face the emperor as usual. Just like normal.
She also cares about his food, clothing and daily life, chats about common things, and even makes jokes.
She could ignore the signs of love on the emperor's body, the lipstick on his neck, the faint scratches on his body, and some stains on his clothes. Although when she saw these signs, she wanted to spread her fingers and use her own
The sharp nails tore Zhu Youtang's flesh and blood to pieces. But when she was thinking this, she had a smile on her face, spoke as usual, and did everything she should do.
Of course, on the night when the emperor disappeared, some unbearable images emerged in her mind uncontrollably, and she stabbed the pillow to pieces with scissors to vent her anger. Otherwise, she suspected that she would go crazy.
In this way, Empress Zhang lived a very divided life. She was waiting for news about her younger brother. Yanling said that she would leave this matter to him. Although Yanling was still a person who needed to be protected in her mind.
Youngster, but at this moment, she can only choose to believe in Yanling and her younger brother. Empress Zhang is like a drowning person who is about to sink, and her younger brother is like a thin branch. She doesn’t know whether this branch can survive.
To carry her own weight, she could only choose to hold on to this branch.
Half a month has passed. Every day of this half month has been like a year for Queen Zhang. At one time, she had doubted whether her brother Zhang Yanling could fulfill her trust and solve this matter. She was about to survive.
Can't stand it any longer.
At this moment, Zhang Yanling finally entered the palace.
…
In the past half month, Zhang Yanling was certainly not idle. After a long talk with Chen Shiyi that day, Chen Shiyi finally expressed his loyalty to Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling also promised that Chen Shiyi would complete his final revenge for him within three years.
.
This seems to be a deal. Zhang Yanling actually didn't plan to do it in such a hurry at first, but currently he really needs manpower to solve the current matter. He needs manpower that is capable and loyal to him to complete the investigation of what happened in the palace.
To investigate this conspiracy, Chen Shiyi, who is highly skilled in martial arts and has been immersed in the Jin Yiwei for more than ten years, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Therefore, he dug out Chen Shiyi's case record and wanted to conquer Chen Shiyi by controlling Chen Shiyi's details. However, he found out a huge secret, which forced Zhang Yanling to make a huge decision.
Promise of.
From an outsider's perspective, Zhang Yanling's promise is overestimated. It is impossible for Zhang Yanling to eliminate Jinyiwei bosses like Mou Bin and Gao Xie for Chen Shiyi and complete his revenge.
task.
The status of uncle, marquis, son-in-law of Duke Dingguo, etc. is not enough to deter people like Mou Bin. With Zhang Yanling's current ability, it is not enough to mobilize greater power and strength against people like Mou Bin.
The boss-like figure of Zhongjinyiwei is a deterrent. It seems that everything is just a blank check.
But in fact, Zhang Yanling did not make this promise with the intention of deceiving Chen Shiyi. Because for a person like Chen Shiyi, if he fails to fulfill his promise to avenge him, he is very likely to suffer backlash, and the consequences will be very serious.
It may be very troublesome. Zhang Yanling definitely doesn't want to anger a strong martial arts figure who can be so forbearing for revenge. Once Chen Shiyi feels that he has been deceived, he will never have peace in the future.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Yanling's promise is by no means an urgent expedient, nor is it a deception. Zhang Yanling has a secret weapon that no one these days has, and that is: history
of torrent.
According to Zhang Yanling's known historical process, Zhengde will take more than a year at most. After Zhengde ascends the throne, everything will be turned upside down. Jinyiwei Yamen, these big-name figures in the inner court will all be replaced. After the inner court is controlled by the Eight Tigers, not only
The officials of the Jinyiwei Yamen have changed. Even the civil servants in the outer court and the Xunqi Group have been stretched out by the tentacles of the Eight Tigers. Everything will be subverted.
As far as Zhang Yanling knows, Mou Bin and others will be liquidated after Zhengde ascends the throne. Regardless of whether he has done anything, but with the help of this historical torrent, he can definitely fulfill his promise to overthrow Mou Bin and others within two years. Once they fall,
Chen Shiyi can do whatever he wants to them.
It is precisely based on this that Zhang Yanling made a promise to successfully revenge Chen Shiyi within two years. Of course, the premise is that the torrent of history does not deviate from his direction. This has some meaning of greed for heaven's merit, but in order to be able to
Obtaining Chen Shiyi's loyalty is obviously something he wouldn't want to do.
After reaching this kind of 'deal' with Chen Shiyi, Zhang Yanling used Chen Shiyi confidently and boldly. Based on Zhang Yanling's observation of Chen Shiyi, this person is still credible. Chen Shiyi is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted person.
He was also straightforward, and he gave him the promise he most expected. Chen Shiyi also swore allegiance, so he was obviously someone he could use.
Starting from the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, under Zhang Yanling's instructions, Chen Shiyi began his secret investigation. Zhang Yanling did not participate in any of the operations. He just sat in the yamen to direct and dispatch. The rest was completely left to Chen Shiyi and a dozen or so people he selected.
A member of the Jin Yiwei bodyguard who was completely worthy of his trust was carried out.
Chen Shiyi is worthy of being an old man who has been immersed in Jinyiwei for many years. He has quietly investigated everything Zhang Yanling told him. In the past half month, Chen Shiyi has proved his ability.
And Zhang Yanling also got closer to the truth step by step from the information he found.
