Chapter 33: Sharpening the Knife
But the emperor at this time was still a little unwilling.
There is a question in my heart, why don't the two forces of them fight?
The normal situation is that if the two families do not fight, they will also pull each other's backs, instead of cooperating with each other, so close.
Is there a deal between them that no one else knows?
So what is the relationship between the Hu family and the Liao family?
At this moment, he was full of curiosity.
Of course, this curiosity did not stay in his mind for too long.
He remembered that he had more urgent things to do.
Because he knew that his last moment had come.
The two forces of the Phoenix Army and the Liao family will definitely take the capital, and wherever they go during this time, they are invincible, and no one dares to do anything to them.
It can be said that wherever the Phoenix Army went later, no one dared to stand in the way.
And the tribal alliance in the east also got the news that the two armies sent troops, even if it was the prince of the Great Hung Dynasty who fled to a foreign race, he took out gold and silver to let them send troops.
In the end, the people of the tribe only supported the emperor of the Great Hung Dynasty spiritually.
Their leader, the most important military division, was crippled by the people of the Phoenix Army, and in the end, the people of the tribe had nothing to do with the Phoenix Army.
When the military advisor talked about this handsome woman, there was a deep fear in his words.
Under the leadership of this handsome woman, the Han people have become less fond of peace, and they will start fighting when they disagree with other races.
Then, they still have to wait and see.
Anyway, it was all a fight between the Han Chinese.
Let's fight!
It's better to fight to the ground, and the Han people are dead.
Then, the Central Plains is theirs, and many people think so.
Although they also knew that this idea was very unreliable, it still did not prevent the people of the tribe from taking a good look.
The prince was disappointed in the end, and he could only cry a lot, unable to do anything.
And at this moment, the emperor has already made his will be passed down, and let his subordinates prepare things.
When his last moment was about to come, he wanted to go and see the young Liao Jiajun coach.
This decision was made after careful consideration by the emperor.
He doesn't have a doppelganger technique, so Yu Ying, Ah He, he can only see a rebellious person.
The handsome woman is old and can't move.
Then that kid from the Liao family is only in his twenties, maybe he will find some loopholes.
In this way, the emperor led the men up and prepared to take a look at the city wall.
After all, some things are better handled in close proximity.
As soon as he left the palace with his front foot, the harem concubines immediately took action.
They had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Fortunately, the emperor went out and was not in the palace, which was convenient for them to do their tricks.
After the emperor ordered someone to get firewood into the imperial city, those palace concubines were quite at a loss when they found out, because they didn't know what the emperor's plan was?
Later, after some guidance, I realized that I was afraid that the emperor was planning to burn this place.
In their opinion, the emperor was planning to burn all the jade.
It's just that when he did this, he didn't ask them if they wanted to, right?
They all deliberately ignored one sentence: the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.
The two emperors of the early Ming Dynasty: Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were martyred after their deaths.
Therefore, when the emperor decided, he did not consider the thoughts of the harem ladies at all.
In his mind, it was a matter of course.
But the harem ladies couldn't be calm when they thought about what they might face.
And if you think about it deeply, their children are all in the capital, and none of them have made it, if the emperor burns down here, will the victors be good to their children?
It's weird to be good!
The palace concubines can't bear this.
But when the emperor was in the palace, they did not dare to move.
Because he has become more ruthless, nakedly: those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.
There was once a palace concubine who wanted the emperor to change his opinion, not to use his only daughter as a bargaining chip and marry a very bad person.
However, the emperor still went his own way.
In the end, even the suicide of the palace concubine did not stop the emperor's actions.
Take your own life in vain.
After the death of the palace concubine, she was deposed as a concubine, and even her body was thrown into a mass grave.
It's a hard punishment.
The princess born had to marry a fool.
Fortunately, when the palace concubine died, the mother's family was not in the capital, and the emperor could not punish them.
Otherwise, the palace concubine's family will also be unlucky.
After this situation, the other palace concubines were silent, and they didn't dare to come forward one by one.
However, they held their breath in their hearts, feeling that the emperor was too unkind.
Even if it was that request, the emperor couldn't agree, but it couldn't be so excessive, what did he think of them?
It should be, as a dispensable plaything.
What shocked them even more was that the emperor didn't even care about the family affection of his children.
So, their minds changed.
After knowing that the Phoenix Army and the Liao Family Army were preparing to crusade against the emperor, they resorted to eighteen means, wanting to know what the emperor planned to do?
After all, fire burning the city is a guess.
People are afraid of death.
If you have a deep relationship with the emperor, you may want to advance and retreat with him.
But after so many things, they don't like the emperor very much.
If there is a chance to choose again, they will definitely not enter the palace.
After living for half a life and being a living widow for many years, not to mention, even the lives of her children have to be put on the line.
This is absolutely intolerable.
It's just that they don't have a source of the emperor's thoughts.
Then, they hit the idea on the emperor's inner servants.
I want to get the emperor's situation from there.
The people who can stay with the emperor have relatively tight mouths, and they can't pry them open at first.
But the palace concubines were not discouraged at all.
I just wanted to find the weaknesses of the people around the emperor.
Not to mention, the hard work pays off, and it really allows them to find their weaknesses.
The attendants are all castrated people, that is, the kind of people who have no roots.
Every chamberlain thought that one day he would take the silver and buy back the part of himself that had been cut off, and when he died, he would be buried together.
Otherwise, in the next life, they will still be incomplete people.
The knife maker who performs the operation usually has to deal with the cut things well, label them, and wait for someone to redeem them.
That's what it costs a lot of silver.
Those low-level chamberlains couldn't save that much silver at all, so they would naturally try to get it by all means.
This is a perfect match for the palace concubine.
In order to get out useful information, they joined forces and smashed it with silver.
Just in time to catch up in the capital in the form is very nervous.
The chamberlain knew that the situation was not good.
It is possible to die in this turmoil, so you must get it back quickly.
And to get back what you have, you have to spend silver, and without silver you have nothing.
Therefore, soon someone gave some bits and pieces of information to the palace concubines for the sake of silver.
One of them said that His Majesty had ordered someone to sharpen his sword during this time.
After receiving this news, the palace concubines are the second monk and the second monk are confused, what is the emperor doing?
Could it be that the emperor still intends to go to war himself?
It's an absolute joke.
When a palace concubine saw His Majesty, she was sure that he was already thin like a skeleton, so how could she have any strength to go to the battlefield?
Maybe it's not as good as these women.
After thinking about it, they couldn't figure it out, so they sent someone to ask Empress Zhang.
Empress Zhang was also very unhappy at this time, because the emperor's people also piled firewood outside her palace.
That is to say: want to set fire to yourself.
This move is too ruthless.
So, she didn't give up thinking in her heart, how could she survive in the fire?
It's not easy.
Obviously, it is not okay to stay in the palace all the time, it is to burn alive.
The rest is heaven and earth.
It's just that there is no way to heaven.
Into the ground?
Zhang Hou looked at the ground, but he couldn't go down.
If their masters and servants don't have those tools, can they dig out a room with their fingers?
It's impossible, and it's not a pangolin.
Zhang Hou finally gave up his plan to go to heaven and earth.
She wasn't in too much of a hurry, though.
Because, there is no point in rushing the course of events.
In addition, if her children run away, even if she dies, she will die alone.
But other palace concubines are not necessarily, most of their children are alive and still trapped in the capital, so they are even more anxious than her.
At this time, Zhang Hou felt that he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
After she has been trapped here all these years, the people in the palace are her henchmen, so she is trapped here and is living well.
But because it's a palace, it's more difficult to make some small moves.
This requires the cooperation of those concubines, after all, there is a lot of strength, so maybe the opportunity will come.
At this time, someone came to the palace concubines.
"What? He makes people sharpen knives!"
Zhang Hou is also a little inexplicable, what's going on?
What does sharpening a knife do?
"Yes, it is said that Your Majesty has sharpened not just one sword, but several, and now each knife is extremely sharp. The messenger said.
"Huh. ”
Zhang Hou sneered.
Then she complained: "Is he sick? Is he going to go into battle by himself? ”
Zhang Hou would not believe that a person who had never practiced martial arts since he was a child would go to the battlefield with a big blade.
"Shouldn't his body be okay now?" she asked.
"It's not good, it's as thin as a hanger. ”
"I think so, sharpening knives can only be used to cut people, so who do you want to cut?" Zhang Hou muttered to himself.
Zhang Hou didn't know why she remembered the idle books she had read when she was young.
In a trance, I remember that the book said: No matter how good the knife is, except for that kind of divine blade, after hacking a certain person, the blade will roll up, after all, the bone is very hard.
After the blade is rolled, it is not very convenient to cut people again.
Get a few more knives for the convenience of slashing people.
That is to say, there are many people who want to be hacked to death in the emperor's heart.
Thinking about it like this, Zhang Hou's heart suddenly raced.
She suddenly thought of a possibility, could the emperor plan to do this?
She felt the green tendons on her forehead pop out, and she felt a little dizzy, pressing her temples.
Zhang Hou looked at the messenger and said, "Go back and tell your master, if you want to know my answer, come here quickly." Anyway, the unluckiest person is not me, but your master. ”
She was a little scared when she made her guess.
But when she thought of what happened to those palace concubines, she was even more afraid, but she felt a lot better.
It just so happened that in these years, the emperor rarely returned to the harem.
While the emperor didn't know anything, those palace concubines could sneak into Zhang Hou's territory.
Speaking of sealing the palace, it can't be all sealed.
After all, everything that eats and drinks Lasa needs to be dealt with by someone, and there are still people who come and go.
Of course, as the main owner, Zhang Hou is not allowed to come out, but can only be in the palace.
Fortunately, over the years, the palace concubines have not had the intention of competing for favor before.
The emperor's temper has become cloudy, and he may turn his face at any time.
Not to mention the palace concubines, but the princes were all trembling when they saw their fathers.
In the current situation, they also know that things are not good, and they no longer want their son to ascend the throne as emperor.
If you really become an emperor, you will be even more unlucky.
So, after no longer had the idea of snatching the emperor and the throne, the concubines in the harem were very harmonious.
When they can't think of a countermeasure, they will ask Empress Zhang.
Now that I heard that Empress Zhang asked everyone to go, those palace concubines were a little worried, and after thinking about it for a while, they sent someone to keep an eye on the emperor to prevent him from touching him.
They went in groups and slipped into the palace of Empress Zhang.
When these palace concubines looked at it, Zhang Hou didn't change much.
It's just that the whole person's temperament has become extremely calm, with Buddha beads on his wrist.
"Sit down, I won't invite you to tea today, the first is that you don't have time, and the second is that if you know what I think, you shouldn't have the heart to drink tea. ”
"Niangniang, just tell us quickly, why did Your Majesty sharpen the knife?" asked one of the concubines.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else turned their eyes on Zhang Hou.
At this moment, they naturally felt that something was wrong, otherwise Empress Zhang would not have to ask them to arrive.
They just think it's a big deal, but for a variety of reasons, they don't dare to think about it.
"Sharpen knives, of course, to make it easier to cut people. Zhang Hou said.
"Slashing?!"
The palace concubines looked disbelieving, their majesty has been thinned into ribs, does he have the strength?
They all have a feeling that time is a knife to kill pigs, and the current Majesty and the former Majesty are not the same person in their eyes.
Now, if you meet Your Majesty at night, you may think that you have encountered a skeleton.
So the emperor didn't enter the harem, but they were very happy.
Who wants to sleep with a rib elixir?
Seeing that those palace concubines didn't take this matter to heart, Zhang Hou raised his head slightly, and then said, "Do you probably think that he sharpened his knife to give it to others?"
"Isn't it?" said another concubine.
The others were also surprised.
Then Zhang Hou shook his head, "If you want to reward others with these knives, then why did he let people sharpen them in the palace?"
The other palace concubines glanced at each other, but they still didn't understand what Empress Zhang wanted to say.
And Zhang Houxin said that if she was still there, I was afraid that she would have guessed what was going on.
"So, Niangniang, what do you want to do?" asked another palace concubine.
"Of course, it was to kill people, and even because in the plan, he wanted to kill a lot of people, so he sharpened several knives, so that it would be enough. ”
When Zhang Hou said this, he did not speak, but twisted the Buddha beads with his hands.
Some of the palace concubines were shocked.
There are also people who are confused and don't know what's going on.
The people who were shocked were because Empress Zhang's eyes swept over them meaningfully when he spoke.
This move made a smarter person feel very wrong.
Someone imitated Empress Zhang's movements, glanced at the others, and found that there were dozens of concubines.
There are quite a few people.
After thinking back to what Empress Zhang had said, they suddenly realized: The person the emperor wanted to kill was ......
Those who thought about it all trembled and turned pale.
If someone hadn't even sat in a chair, the person who had come to his senses would have almost collapsed on the ground.
