Princess Huanting thought that He Zhizhou would definitely talk to her, because in terms of the current situation, it was Da Liang who urgently needed Yan Guo as an ally, not Yan Guo crying and begging to be an ally with Da Liang.

He Zhizhou is an ambitious man, she has long known what his ambitions are, not to mention the current foreign enemies of Daliang, just for the information that Ankang revealed to her just now, she can be sure that the escaped Yuwenfu colluded with the little emperor of Daliang. Yuwenfu is the crown prince of Yunguo, so he can naturally represent Emperor Yun, which means that the little emperor has formed an alliance with Emperor Yun. No matter how powerful He Zhizhou is, he probably can't prevent this layer. Emperor Yun is supporting the little emperor behind his back, and He Zhizhou is afraid that it will be even more difficult to ascend to the throne. At this time, Yan Guo will naturally become the object of the alliance he is trying to strive for.

Princess Wan Ting swept away her previous depression and anxiety, and waited patiently for He Zhizhou to come to see her. However, in the middle of the night, He Zhizhou was not seen to come to her tent.

Princess Huanting was shocked, panicked and angry, she couldn't understand, at this time, how could He Zhizhou not come to see her? Even if more than half of the courtiers in the Great Liang Dynasty are from He Zhizhou, so what, now He Zhizhou is not in Shangjing, even if the little emperor can't control those people, but it doesn't prevent the little emperor from using these people, taking advantage of He Zhizhou's absence in Shangjing to quickly eradicate dissidents, install his own people, and wait for He Zhizhou to go back, Shangjing is afraid that he will already have a complete face. When the time comes, he will not be able to return to the sky, what can he do to fight the little emperor?

Princess Huanting didn't believe that she could think of things He Zhizhou would not think of, but he was not in a hurry or anxious, he ate and rested on time, as if he was nothing. Why is he so calm? Fearless? What did he rely on to dare to be so fearless?

She thought that she had known He Zhizhou very well for so many years, but now she realized that apart from his ambitions, her understanding of him was too poor.

Princess Huanting was trapped in He Zhizhou's team, unable to reach her own people, unable to understand what was going on outside, and became more and more anxious and irritable day by day like a trapped beast.

And what she didn't know was that a lot of things were going on outside.

According to the news that came out of the capital, the little emperor was now acting vigorously and resolutely, completely ignoring the fierce and violent posture, and learned He Zhizhou's methods of dealing with political enemies back then, and it had reached the point of completely ignoring it. All the courtiers who openly entered the regent were all found out by him in public, and they were severely tortured in the court, such as killing and chopping. But it was much more terrible and ruthless than He Zhizhou's treatment of political opponents at the beginning, the little emperor first showed thunderous methods, screams, bloody smells, and begging for mercy, as if all of a sudden stimulated the little emperor's nerves called violent and bloodthirsty. Or maybe he was suppressed too hard by He Zhizhou in the past, once he tasted the pleasure of this absolute power, it was like being addicted, and he couldn't stop anymore.

In just a few days, half of the courtiers were reduced - some were tortured to death by the little emperor, and some were frightened by the little emperor's cruel and brutal methods. Shangjing City has fallen into a panic and chaos, and there are also loyal old ministers who admonish each other with death, crying and begging the little emperor to treat the courtiers well and stop quickly, but where is the little emperor who has been addicted to murder and killing willing to listen, and the old minister who admonishes him with death was found tragically dead in his house the next day.

This old minister is a veteran who has gone through three dynasties, although he is not used to seeing the regent of He Zhizhou, and he usually pretends to be sick and does not go to the court, but even He Zhizhou does not dare to easily offend the old courtiers who have been the protégés of the cabinet for many years, and how many courtiers in the court can be regarded as the protégé of this old minister, and he has produced a lot of good books and poems, not to mention the Liang readers, that is, the world's scholars respect this old minister. But now this respected and admired old minister died inexplicably tragically, thinking of the little emperor's violence and bloodiness in the court, where did everyone still not understand, for a while, not only the court, but also everywhere sent out to find out the cause of the old minister's death, denouncing the little emperor's cruelty and unkindness.

The little emperor naturally didn't take these voices seriously, he used Yuwenfu's hidden power in Shangjing, as well as the joyful and irresistible thunderbolt in his hand, to successfully assassinate the Praetorian Guards belonging to the He Zhizhou camp and the leader of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and took the military power of Shangjing into his hands. The little emperor who controlled the military power of Shangjing City was like a tiger, he was suppressed by He Zhizhou in the past few years, and in the past few days, he felt that he was an emperor who really held the imperial power! He called life to life, he let people die to die, this feeling is so good, he needs blood, he needs killing, to wash away the shame that He Zhizhou once suppressed him! The benefits and temptations of power have made him want to stop.

With the disappearance of the three princes who had not yet come out of the freshly baked and had not yet fought a flower with the little emperor, the assassination of the prince of the Marquis of Yong'an, and the lady and others who disappeared overnight in the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion, the prosperous and stable Shangjing City in the past was already a mess.

The little emperor brutally and cruelly wanted to eliminate He Zhizhou's influence in the court in one fell swoop, and he was busy cultivating his own forces and minions, in order to resist He Zhizhou's footsteps back to Beijing. Although he quickly controlled the entire Gyeonggi with the help of Yuwenfu, the local garrison and military power were not in his hands, and the little emperor was naturally worried that He Zhizhou would lead the army to appear outside the capital. Therefore, the Shangjing City is very tightly guarded, and it is only allowed to enter and not to go out, but there are people who want to sneak out of the city, and there is no mercy. Not only were people killed, but the corpses were hung high on the city gates, warning those who wanted to escape from the capital to avoid the scourge of war.

The brutal name of the little emperor spread all over the city in just a few days. Of course, there is no lack of artificial promotion, passed on, there have been people who tell the little emperor not only to kill people as he wants, but even cook people to reward and share the food with the courtiers, if there is one who refuses to eat, the little emperor will order someone to lift his feet to send people to cook, in the palace, the smell of meat all day long, but it is the fragrance of human flesh!

At this time, the little emperor was already an out-and-out tyrant in the eyes of the world.

At this time, another rumor also quietly arose.

It turned out that the emperor's jade seal, which everyone couldn't find, was actually in the hands of the regent all along. Before the first emperor died of a serious illness, he personally handed over the jade seal to the regent, saying that if the young lord was a wise and diligent lord, when the young lord was 18 years old, the regent would need to return to the little emperor, that is, when the little emperor was 18 years old, the regent would return the jade seal to the little emperor. But if the little emperor is unbearable to support, mediocre and incompetent, has no talent and no virtue, can't take his due responsibility for the country, and is not worthy of being the king, then the ancestral foundation must not be destroyed in the hands of the little emperor. Once the little emperor loses his virtues, the regent can abolish the lord and stand on his own, and in any case, he cannot let the ancestral foundation be ruined.

He also said that Princess Heqin was kidnapped by the little emperor and lured the regent out of Beijing to pursue it. Finally, the affectionate regent finally found the future princess, but on the way back to Beijing, he was repeatedly assassinated and assassinated, in order to snatch the jade seal in the hands of the regent. Just because everyone in the world knows that the emperor who does not have a jade seal in his hand is actually unjustifiable. There are also the last words of the first emperor on his deathbed, compared with the killing and brutality of the little emperor who is now close to madness, the world would rather believe that the last words of the first emperor are true. The little emperor was so crazy and unscrupulous in assassinating and murdering his own uncle, if it wasn't for the fear that the regent with the jade seal would rob him of the throne, what would it be?

The regent's reputation has always been bad, although the means are also very powerful, and he is as ruthless as his political enemies, but in the past few years of the regent's reign, at least the government is clear, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and the Liang is indeed thriving. Everyone fears the regent, but everyone respects the regent. First of all, some people thought that the regent had ill intentions and wanted to seek the usurpation of the dynasty, but now they know that the regent has long held the jade seal, but he still tries his best to assist and teach the little emperor, and they all believe that the regent is actually a strict and selfless good person. Compared with today's little emperor, naturally everyone hopes that the regent can replace him, so that the smoky government will become clear again, and the people who are worried will live a good life of peace and happiness again.

There has been a cry of the abolition of the emperor or a sit-in in various places, and the army is also approaching the capital under the secret dispatch of He Zhizhou, under the banner of the Qing monarch! It is clear that the little emperor is surrounded by a person who bewitches and confuses the public, and it is that person who instigates the little emperor to do so many heinous and cruel incidents. Of course, no matter how the regent "covered up" or even exonerated the little emperor, everyone knew that as long as the regent led the army to open the gate to the capital, the little emperor who was on the throne would have only two ends. Those who know the current affairs can leave a life to show He Zhizhou's benevolence and benevolence, and if he wants to ascend the throne, he will naturally not have a good reputation. If you don't know the current affairs, then there is only a dead end.

In the palace of the eldest princess, the little emperor reversed the respect and pity of the eldest princess in the past, revealing unscrupulous publicity and ruthlessness, and looked at the eldest princess with a very ugly face with a smile, "Aunt Huang, I finally came out for a trip, but not to see your face." If you have anything to say, hurry up, I still have a lot of things to do. ”

The eldest princess looked at the little emperor who had become so strange and so terrifying in a short period of time, and she only felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't help but persuade her: "Emperor, I have heard all those things outside, and there are some things that you have inevitably gone too far." You must know that if you act like this, it is easy to cause panic in the hearts of the people and lose the hearts of the people! ”

"The hearts of the people? What do I want to do with those ethereal things? The little emperor laughed, and his thin arms shook violently: "I only know now that the taste of power is so good, compared with rights, what is the people's heart?" Which stupid Diao people would dare to rebel? If I know, I will definitely let him die a good death! ”

The madness and yin owl in his eyes were undisguised, and Jin Yuxi, who had been by the side of the eldest princess, couldn't help but shrink a little, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the little emperor's face again.

"Do you know what you're doing? How ugly is it to say out there now? The eldest princess got up angrily, with a solemn and stern expression and accused the little emperor and said: "The Great Liang Jiangshan was fought hard by me and your imperial grandfather, and you are not ruining the ancestral foundation by doing this!" If you still take me, the imperial aunt, in your eyes, then stop your crazy actions immediately, release the ministers and family members who are locked up in prison, and then appease them—"

"Those are all He Zhizhou's lackeys, why did I let them go?" The little emperor's face was pale, his face was distorted, and his voice was hateful and fierce, "I just want to torture them to death, who told them to follow He Zhizhou to fight against me?" Big beams? Daliang Jiangshan is now mine, I can do whatever I want, I can do what I want, and it is not the turn of the imperial aunt to point fingers at me! Forget it this time, for the sake of the imperial aunt who has sheltered me before, I won't pursue it with you, and if you are disrespectful to me, I won't be able to forgive! ”

What about the destruction of the Great Liang in his hands? Anyway, he was about to be forced to death by He Zhizhou, and he couldn't even give birth to his own heir, instead of being a puppet with a nest, it was better to be like Yu Wenfu said, a happy day is a day! He Zhizhou didn't want to be the emperor, didn't he want this position, he left him a mess, and let the country he coveted become a hot potato, and he really faced internal and external troubles, see what kind of ability he has to clean up!
