Shi Yanshang smiled slightly, very willing to accept such a task, as far as it was Yan Zi's matter, she was willing to help.

Yan Zi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her mother could still accept others, otherwise she would not have been able to learn about her. It's just that all of a sudden, there is some sadness, why can the mother be generous to anyone and kind to anyone, but she can't be more tolerant of her. Did you really do something wrong? Do you have to watch the knife stand on your neck and blood spilled all over the ground, and still firmly believe in the outline of those monarchs and ministers?

No, absolutely impossible! The confused eyes suddenly became firm and profound, no, I won't let such a thing happen again, my father is too stupid and loyal to end up in a bad situation, such an ending is too ridiculous, she will never allow such a joke to be staged on herself, never!

The fists were clenched tightly, and the teeth were about to crush when I thought of these annoying images.

Empress Yan Zi sat alone on the dragon chair, enjoying the endless glorious years and the unbearable scolding. It is said that the high place is not cold, but she firmly believes that only by standing on the highest place can she touch the sun, and that there must be heat when the cold is extreme, and the sun's rays shine on the people in the highest places.

Thinking about it, the whole person lay motionless on the dragon chair and let the wind blow in to caress the broken hair on his forehead, except for the eyes in a little deep and mysterious, there was no movement.

The guards who hurried in at the door were startled, and they didn't know whether to disturb them for a long time. Seeing the empress's terrifying eyes like a devouring monster, she didn't even dare to breathe, so she stayed in place and hesitated.

When he felt that the breath of the person was in front of him, Yan Zicai lazily withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the guard, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

In the empty hall, any word revealed a cold and piercing aura, which made people shudder. The guard shook his body slightly, and said, "Go back, back to the Empress." At the gate of the palace, four martial arts people who claimed to be the head of the palace came and said that they wanted to see you. ”

"Xuan"

"Yes, ah-" The guard just answered and was about to go out to announce the decree, but as soon as he turned around, he encountered a strong internal force formed by the air current, and the whole person suddenly flew out and slammed into the pillar. When I fell, there was only one breath left.

Yan Zi glanced at the four of them in disgust, rubbed his temples irritably, and then changed his sitting position and ordered another guard at the door to carry this person down.

Looking at the humble and fragile life of an ant on the ground, Zhu Zhangmen's nose was crooked, revealing a little disdain, and he looked at Yan Zi on the dragon chair with his hands around his chest and his head tilted proudly.

"We have already thought that all the rewards have been written, and we hope that the daughter, the emperor, and your majesty will approve it!" The arrogant and loud voice resounded heavily in the hall, especially in the second half of the sentence, Zhu Zhangmen deliberately paused and revealed a thick disdain and disdain between the lines.

After finishing speaking, Pavilion Master Zhao snatched the scroll in the hand of Master Zhu and threw it up.

Yan Zi jumped and took the scroll, opened it and took a look. I really don't know if I don't know it, I am shocked when I see it, these people are simply insatiable, and such a large picture scroll also makes them full of writing. If you give them a picture scroll bigger than the country, won't you send the whole country to fill these greedy hearts?

Yan Zi took a cursory look, then rolled up the scroll, walked to the middle of the four heads, looked at it with disdain, and let out a bit of ridicule.

"Hmph, the four heads can really make a price, which is on par with the women and children in the vegetable market. It's just that I don't understand that you are also the head of the gate faction, how can you hurt a small pawn so badly, the killer seems to be a combination of three people, right? Also, I have seen the things on this clearly, basically adding officials to the city and the like. Good! I've said yes, but I have an added bonus. The four of you are all extremely high martial arts people and the founding heroes, if you don't give some big rewards, wouldn't it seem that I am stingy? In this way, on the basis of these, the four of you will be appointed as generals. Is it good to take charge of their respective subordinates and assist General Sheng to jointly defend the family and the country? ”

"I'm against it!" As soon as the words came out, the eager Zhao Pavilion Lord immediately objected.

"I'm against it too!" Then Zhu Zhangmen also refused.

Yan Zi was surprised: "What? Could it be that you have been wronged by making you generals? ”

"It's understandable that you made us generals, but why do you want to control us! The same general, why are we not on an equal footing! Such unfair treatment is better than killing us with a knife! Pavilion Master Zhao said disdainfully, thinking that the four of them were strong in martial arts, and they couldn't fight a female streamer, so they didn't take Yan Zi in their eyes at all.

"Good! Let's put you on an equal footing! Yan Zi was embarrassed and reluctantly agreed.

Obviously, this statement was agreed by the three leaders, and no one raised any further objections, and immediately agreed. Yan Zi shook his head helplessly, and complained a few words as if he didn't have any, "The four heads of you are really powerful, and your bargaining power is even more powerful than that of a vegetable seller." Remembering that you have contributed to the country, I have promised you, and I will immediately declare the decree to the world. And I will build the mansion as soon as possible and invite the four generals to move in. If there is nothing else to do, let it go for the time being, I am tired and want to rest. ”

Zhu Zhangmen glanced at Yan Zi with disdain, and was very happy in his heart, thinking that he was aggressive and made this woman speechless, so he used the excuse of being tired to rest, and secretly he must be angry. Ha ha! Don't say that the head of this family bullies women, who calls you incompetent and still has to be the boss, this is self-inflicted.

Hum! Strode out of the hall with his head held high, and Pavilion Lord Zhao snorted coldly and followed out. Ye Zhuang Fan the folding fan, the corners of his mouth raised, and he glanced at the back of Yan Zi who was away without smiling, and also walked out of the main hall. The last one to go out was the Lu Gang Master, who didn't say a word from the time he came in to the time he left, didn't participate in any discussion and didn't want any reward, in the face of such two factions, he was worried, and sighed secretly and left helplessly.

In the study, Yan Zi picked up the pen and grinded it three times and wrote the holy decree twice, all in one go without pause. Then it was immediately handed over to the eunuch to tell the world. It only took half a day from the draft to the announcement to the world, and the speed made the four leaders very surprised. Could it be that this woman was afraid of them, so she had to comply with their requests one by one?

But it was clear that they had won, so why didn't they have a sense of victory, but were a little uneasy, as if winning too quickly was inconsistent with common sense. I can't think of any means that Yan Zi will have, looking at her bad look, without Sheng Linsheng, she is like a pheasant who has lost her hair, worthless. Maybe they're overthinking.

Thinking about it like this, no one thought about it anymore, and quietly waited for the arrival of the court clothes.

As soon as the news came out, Sheng Linsheng rushed back to the capital overnight without saying a word. At this time, Yan Zi had already fallen asleep, and in a daze, he smelled a faint familiar smell coming, followed by a light and rapid footsteps approaching. Yan Zi frowned involuntarily, but he didn't care, turned around and fell asleep again.

The palace maid who was waiting at the door saw that it was Sheng Linsheng, and she didn't dare to stop it. Obediently retreated to both sides and let Sheng Linsheng swagger in.

Yan Zi was slightly drunk, and he didn't realize that one person was already standing in front of him and staring at him angrily with a tense face. For a while, she felt a strange atmosphere spinning back and forth in her sleep, and then she subconsciously opened her eyes. Only then did he realize that Sheng Linsheng's existence was very depressed about his actions today and his current expression.

Rubbing his eyes, he sat up and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you staring at me like this, do you have flowers on my face? Didn't you ask you to run errands, why did you come so quickly, did you find out the news? ”

Sheng Linsheng did not answer, but asked another thing bluntly: "Why do you give those four insatiable people such a rich reward?" Doesn't giving them military power tantamount to endangering themselves? Are you really afraid of them? ”

Yan Zi smiled lightly, disapproving, "I thought it was something, it turned out to be this thing." Quite simply, most of the soldiers we received were from the rivers and lakes. Jianghu people are the most righteous, and they are more obedient to the words of the four heads. Therefore, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, let them stay at ease and be used by me, I had to temporarily leave these four insatiable villains. Have you ever seen women and children bargaining in the vegetable market? The more difficult it is to negotiate the benefits the more you will win. I pretended to be embarrassed and agreed to their request with great difficulty, firstly to feed their ambitions, and secondly, to restrain them. It is not easy for them to feel that they can get such a reward, so they will not make more excessive requests. The words were confident, and it seemed that all the intrigues and tricks in her hands could develop smoothly and smoothly as she wanted.

There are accidents in everything, people are not as good as heaven, Sheng Linsheng always felt that this move was sinister, in case the four of them joined forces to be as solid as a rock, they would find themselves in big trouble.

"What are you going to do with the four of them if they join forces?"

"No, I'm not going to give them that chance!" Yan Zi said calmly, and every step was carefully considered, "The four of them have always been at odds, and their character weaknesses have long been exposed. Although I gave a lot of benefits, including the city, these seemed deadly. But the rank of general forced them to stay in the barracks. Once they leave the barracks, they will have to be dealt with according to military law, and they will not be able to refute it reasonably. So if you are smart, you won't do these stupid things, and naturally those city officials won't be able to touch it, what's so scary! ”

There seems to be some truth to this.

"But it's never a long-term solution, when are you going to do it?" Sheng Linsheng asked.

"That Lu gang leader seems to be indifferent to fame and fortune and does not participate in the plan of the three of them, but the more upright the person, the easier it is to start. Start with him! Yan Zi made up his mind, his eyes revealing a dangerous aura.

Since the plan was so perfect, Sheng Linsheng couldn't think of any rebuttal, so he was silent. Yan Zi shifted his body and deliberately leaned close to his ear and asked, "How is the investigation of the things that asked you to investigate?" ”
