Chapter 197: Speculating on People's Hearts
Pang Luoxue took the food sent by King Yu, opened it and saw a lot of strange things. Pang Luoxue found it interesting to flip through it casually, but what interested her was all kinds of medical books and imperial doctors, most of which were solitary books, and various codexes of famous imperial physicians, such things could only be found by Zhao Zhengyang.
"By the way, Xue'er, I have something I want to sue you today. The princess of Nanzhao Kingdom actually had a connection with the King of Jin, and the King of Jin sent a Taoist priest to the palace today. Zhao Zhengyang said dissatisfiedly
He knew that his father's health had not been good in recent years, so he specially invited a Yin Tianshi, at first he didn't put this person in his eyes, but in the past half a year, his father has become more and more trusting of him, almost to the point of obeying his words.
"Yin Tianzhao?" Pang Luoxue frowned.
"Yes, Cher, you're really well-informed." Zhao Zhengyang nodded.
Pang Luoxue smiled bitterly, she is not well-informed, this Yin Tianshi, she can be said to be an acquaintance, in the past, the King of Jin used this Yin Tianshi to gain the emperor's favor and trust step by step, it can be said that he is the most important person on the road to the King of Jin on the road to gaining status. But she remembered that it would take another seven years for Yin Tianshi to enter the palace, to say the least, but now, does this mean that history has changed? No, since she was reborn, many things have changed, such as saving Qi Yao by herself, as well as Cangyi, Xiao Sizi, their common industry...... Perhaps her own existence is a paradox in itself, if it weren't for her pressing step by step, King Jin would probably have no one to use, and he would not have used this important chess piece so quickly.
Pang Luoxue smiled. Said: "Zhengyang, what do you think?" This King of Jin has suffered so many losses, it seems that he doesn't plan to give up, how are you going to deal with it? β
A trace of coldness slowly flashed in Zhao Zhengyang's eyes: "Of course this kind of person who confuses the public with gossip can't continue to stay." I have already instructed people to impeach him tomorrow morning, and I must find every means to force my father to drive him out of the palace. β
When Pang Luoxue heard this, she couldn't help frowning, this is exactly the same as Zhao Zhengyang's previous approach, what is the result? The emperor trusted and relied on Yin Tianshi very much, and received this performance. He was very unhappy, and felt that his ministers were united against him, so he severely reprimanded the three ministers who played that day. They were removed from office. It was precisely because the emperor's attitude was so tough that Zhao Zhengyang began to realize that Yin Tianshi's status in the palace was extraordinary and could not be shaken lightly. After another three years, the emperor listened to Yin Tianshi's words. completely alienated Zhao Zhengyang. The queen was abolished, and things were handled completely according to Yin Tianshi's divination, and the affairs of the court were gradually in the palm of King Jin's hands.
Zhao Zhengyang's supporters, in order to change this situation, arranged for their cronies and courtiers to gather outside the palace gate, knelt down, and cried loudly, they declared. If the emperor refused to expel Yin Tianzhao from the palace, he kept kneeling and crying. This method is reasonable, because the public anger is difficult to offend, but the emperor was completely confused by Yin Tianzhao at that time, and he was very upset when he heard the officials crying so loudly, and he came and went, and finally annoyed the emperor, and he ordered the Praetorian Guards to arrest all the forty-two officials who were crying at the door and put them in prison, and the next day, all the court staff. Even so, Yin Tianzhao still didn't understand his hatred, and instigated the emperor to beat the twelve officials who took the lead again, twice with a court staff, forty-two people died sixteen, and twenty people were seriously injured, and the rest did not dare to oppose anymore, and Zhao Zhengyang, who was originally very favored by the emperor, was even more excluded from the scope of power from then on, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and even in the later period, he was framed by the chess pieces buried by the King of Jin, and no one dared to speak for him anymore. It can be said that the head of the Nangong family is a smart person, but he is not good at playing politics, and the most terrible thing is that he failed to correctly grasp the emperor's mind, turning a thing that could have turned around into no way out, and even turning a game of chess with good prospects into a ruined mountain and river.
Pang Luoxue looked at Tuoba Yu and couldn't help but smile deeper: "This-I'm just afraid it's inappropriate." β
In fact, of course, Zhao Zhengyang also knew that it was wrong, but this Yin Tianzhao had a lot of bad ideas since he entered the palace, and he couldn't sit back and watch him grow.
Pang Luoxue dragged her chin to help him analyze and said slowly: "It's not difficult to defeat Yin Tianzhao, it's the people behind him who are difficult." β
Tuoba Yu frowned: "You mean-King Jin?" β
Pang Luoxue couldn't help but smile on her lips: "Wrong, King Jin is not the one who can protect Yin Tianzhao, the one who really protects him is His Majesty." β
"My father?" Zhao Zhengyang is such a smart person, he suddenly realized something, and said, "You are right, it is my father who really protects Yin Tianzhao and believes in him, as long as he believes in this person for a day, we can't do anything to him for a day!" β
Pang Luoxue said with a smile: "That's true, Zhengyang, Your Majesty is fifty years old this year, but there are 10,000 concubines and concubines in his palace, so many beautiful women are by his side, wouldn't it be a pity if he could only look at them?" Coupled with the fact that the young and healthy sons around him are strong one by one, he will feel fear, and it is a matter of course. β
Pang Luoxue said this kind of thing, it was completely disrespectful, but fortunately, Zhao Zhengyang felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and it had already been arranged so that outsiders would not get close, but these words still made him widen his eyes in surprise, but he saw Pang Luoxue change his posture and continued, "Your Majesty wants to live forever and enjoy peace forever, and second, you want to be physically strong, enjoy beauty, and have children, the needs of these two aspects are pinned on Yin Tianshi's body, he can not only treat His Majesty, but also make His Majesty strong quickly." , no wonder His Majesty likes him so much. β
Zhao Zhengyang disagreed: "The pills he dedicated to his father are only for a short time-"
"Yes, it only works in the short term," Pang Luoxue smiled helplessly, "For a person of His Majesty's age, instead of being so sluggish all the time, even if it is fake strong, strong outside, strong in the middle." What's more, Yin Tianzhao is a person, how much does His Highness know? β
"He is a native of Qingzhou and a Taoist priest of the Qing Palace on Lingxiao Mountain. Shangqing Palace is the ancestral court of the Heavenly Master, and Zhang Tianshi, who has been passed down from generation to generation, lives in the Shangqing Palace and leads the world Taoism. Yin Tianzhao knows how to bewitch the people, and the local people believe that he can pray for rain and snow, and also believe that he can cure diseases, so his father and emperor get him, as if he was a treasure. Zhao Zhengyang told the news of the investigation one by one.
Pang Luoxue didn't agree with his statement, shook her head, and said, "This Yin Tianzhao is now nearly eighty years old, but he has crane hair and eyebrows, and a ruddy face, so he is by no means in vain. As far as I know, he was still very political, and ten years ago the rebel king went to ask him to go out of the mountain and carried fifty loads of gold, and he was not moved, which proves that he is a clever man, and knows how to judge the situation, and even more, he may know some kind of destiny that we cannot snoop on. β
"Destiny?!" Zhao Zhengyang's brows furrowed tightly, "I don't believe he knows what destiny he is!" If he really knew, he wouldn't have been invited out of the mountain! β
Pang Luoxue sighed, in the past, she only wondered, why Yin Tianzhao, who had always lived in seclusion, suddenly listened to the words of King Jin and ran to the palace, it is said that Yin Tianzhao is proficient in celestial phenomena and divination, it is difficult to say that he did not have a glimpse of the order of the Son of Heaven of King Jin...... No, or some kind of deal was reached between the two, which she couldn't guess, because the king of Jin back then didn't even guard her, and she didn't even tell sΓΉ, this man's mind was too deep.
"Your Highness, Yin Tianzhao is proficient in celestial phenomena, do you admit this?!"
Zhao Zhengyang disagreed, and said: "You mean that there has been no snow since the beginning of winter, and then he came on stage to pray for snow?" That's just his blind cat running into a dead mouse! β
Pang Luoxue shook her head with a smile and said: "It's not that he is a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, nor is he a great power as His Majesty said, but he predicted the exact time of snowfall, so he said that he wanted to build a snow prayer platform, deliberately delayed the time, and chose the appropriate time to pray for snow, which made His Majesty more convinced of him." β
Zhao Zhengyang was originally full of disgust for this person, but now when he heard Pang Luoxue say this, he couldn't help but wonder if this master really had the ability to predict celestial phenomena, who knew that Pang Luoxue was still talking about it.
"Not only that, I heard that two months ago, Wang Meiren and Lu Meiren of His Majesty XiΓ became pregnant one after another." Li Weiyang said softly, this news was heard by Bai Zhitan and sued her, it can be seen how much of a sensation this news has caused among the people, His Majesty is fifty years old this year, and the concubines around him have not had good news for nearly ten years, except that now the queen is also pregnant because of the medicine she gave to recuperate, and now someone is pregnant soon after Yin Tianshi enters the palace, which seems to have some kind of secret connection.
Zhao Zhengyang obviously thought of the key to it, and said slowly: "Since my father adjusted his body according to Yin Tianzhao's requirements, believed in Taoism, and took the medicine he prepared, he is indeed a dragon and a tiger, and he frequently pampers the harem concubines. β
Pang Luoxue said with a smile: "So, Yin Tianshi has such a great ability, how can His Majesty not trust him?" You oppose His Majesty's belief in Taoism and taking elixir, but who has the ability to pray for rain and snow and contribute to the farming of the common people? Which of you has the ability to let His Majesty have more sons? You can't do it, but Yin Tianzhao can do it, this is the real reason why His Majesty believes in him and relies on him. β
"But this person ......" Zhao Zhengyang's face darkened, and he suddenly paused, with a sneer on his face, "My imperial brother is really using any means." β
"How could he be sent to the palace if he is useless." Pang Luoxue reached out and crushed a fallen leaf, and the smile on her face became gentler.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhao Zhengyang's eyes: "I can send him to the Western Heavens." β
Pang Luoxue smiled and looked at the broken leaves lying in the palm of her hand, and put them in Zhao Zhengyang's hand, "You get rid of one Yin Tianzhao, and King Jin will send the second one!" (To be continued......)
