Chapter 001: Fixing the Storm
Shendu.
Wucheng Palace, inside the imperial study.
Wearing a dragon suit, wearing an imperial crown, and holding his hands behind his back, standing in front of the Zhang brothers and sisters who were kneeling on the ground and trembling, their dominating power made the entire imperial study full of a strong sense of oppression.
Shangguan Wan'er and Fu Xi were not included, but the Zhang sisters and brothers pleaded guilty to the empress alone.
The failure of the joint Momen Xia Ju's conspiracy against Ju Mangding this time led to the situation they had painstakingly managed for half a year, which was all in vain, and the situation was out of control, and no one could have predicted such a result.
Hearing this, Feng Yan shot a complicated look, but his tone was as cold as ice and snow, and he said coldly: "It's not that I didn't give you a chance, but that you let me down." So far, there has been no breakthrough or progress in the implementation of the 'No Cover' plan.
In the imperial study, unlike on the dragon couch, the empress can always completely separate official and private affairs.
Zhang Yizhi's face was pale, panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "The sinner deserves to die! The sinner deserves to die! If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the nameless thirteen, our sister and brother would definitely not ......."
Hearing the opportunity, his eyes were full of light, his jade face was gloomy, his phoenix eyes were full of anger, and he shouted: "Shut up for me." I don't want to hear you quibble. One month, another month for you, be sure to get Ju Mangding back to me, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about my pets, and I will be killed without forgiveness, and I will be punished for my crimes. ”
The Zhang sisters and brothers trembled again with fright, and said helplessly in unison: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”
Hearing no more words, he didn't let them get up, but turned and walked away, returned to the dragon seat and sat down, seemingly casually picking up a piece of music from the huge mahogany table in front of him.
This is the music of the eldest princess of Fengming Zhai.
It is written that the Fire Wheel Cult has now obtained Zhu Rongding, Emperor Hongding, and Lie Missing Ding, and openly talks to the empress.
"Bang!"
Hearing the opportunity, he slapped his palm on the dragon table.
Long Yan was as cold as ice and snow, his phoenix eyes shone brightly, and he said angrily: "Damn, really hateful." The Fire Wheel Sect was so persecutive that they dared to treat me as nothing, and dared to make unreasonable demands to blackmail me into re-establishing Zhao Zhen as the crown prince. ”
Since ancient times, the dispute between the princes has been particularly bloody and cruel.
However, the selection of the crown prince before the empress was full of twists and turns, and it was dramatic.
Prior to this, Wen Ren Yingji fully supported Wen Ren for his vital interests, and killed the Zhao Tang clan on a large scale, and always regarded himself as the natural heir of Wen Ren in the world, but he was fiercely opposed by the important ministers and generals headed by Pei Xingben, so that Wen Ren had to focus on the overall situation and temporarily named his youngest son Zhao Quan as the crown prince, but everyone in the world knew that this was a temporary measure of Wen Ren's opportunity, and it was purely a transitional figure.
At this point, the choice of the crown prince above the court is nothing more than hearing about Yingji and Zhao Hang.
The important ministers headed by Pei Xingben and Cui Zan belonged to Zhao Hang, who had been an emperor for a short time, and because of his longevity, he had the legal status of a prince. At present, the struggle of the imperial court revolves around the succession to the throne.
However, Wenren still insisted on changing Wenren Yingji to the crown prince, and it was imperative, especially in the struggle for imperial power.
What I never expected was that the Fire Wheel Cult actually brought the former prince Zhao Zhen back to life, and this matter had been preliminarily tested and confirmed by Fu Xi.
The old man, who had been dead for sixteen years, is now alive again, and although it is somewhat appalling, the world would rather believe that it is true until the heart desires it.
Although the origin of "Sutuodan" is very mysterious and inexplicable, there is no way to examine, but it is only known that it has a great relationship with "Sutuohuan", one of the four fruits of Buddhism.
However, this is not important, the important thing is that the first prince Zhao Zhen did eat the "Sutuodan" and came back to life, not only to ask the empress again to return to his position as the crown prince, but also to order the world to resurrect the dead, elders and other unattainable beautiful dreams suddenly became a reality and possibility, so that everyone in the world joined the fire wheel cult and begged for one, so the power rose.
The Zhang sisters and brothers failed to try to win the sentence Mangding, and the empress could respond indifferently, but this time, it was the Fire Wheel Cult that coerced her with the identity of the former prince Zhao Zhen, the three Yu Ding artifacts and 100,000 Fire Wheel Sect followers, which had a decisive direct impact on her own future and the world of the Wen Ren clan, and immediately touched the dragon's heart.
The Zhang sisters and brothers, one on the left and one on the right, stood in front of her dragon table, staring at the furious Emperor of the Great Zhou Holy Spirit, trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear that the empress would be angry with their sisters and brothers again under the fury.
The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated and the ministers die.
Hearing the information revealed by the empress, they knew that the Fire Wheel Cult was now too powerful and dared to fight against the empress.
Before being bullied by the enemy, the empress, who controls the big and has the power, will definitely not be able to bear this breath.
However, anger is anger, and no matter what, we must think of a countermeasure to resolve the crisis at hand.
The Zhang sisters and brothers exchanged glances, and they could see each other's thoughts.
Zhang Changzong withstood the invisible pressure, tried his best to calm her anger, raised his head, and muttered, "Minister's wish...... Willing to share ...... for His Majesty Share worries. ”
Wen Renji didn't pay attention to it, she couldn't be more clear about the political ability of the Zhang sisters and brothers.
In addition to the art of hue, what other excellent countermeasures can the two of them have?
After thinking quietly for a while, his eyes fell on the Zhang brothers and sisters, and he regained his composure, his phoenix eyes were still full of murderous coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "The night is long and there are many dreams, if the Fire Wheel Cult is allowed to act recklessly, it will cause a catastrophe sooner or later." If you don't do it, you won't stop doing it, as long as you can make arrangements to kill Zhao Zhen first, it will be tantamount to hitting the key point of the Fire Wheel Cult, so that they will never have a chance to turn over. ”
The whole scalp of the Zhang sisters and brothers was numb, and they seriously considered the empress's proposal, and the idea of hearing the opportunity was crisp and straightforward. If successful, it can indeed solve the dilemma immediately.
Zhang Yizhi said: "What if you can't kill it?"
Hearing the opportunity, he knew that Zhao Zhen was not what he used to be, and even Fu Xi was planted in his hands, so he couldn't help frowning, and he was at a loss for a while, and he was in a dilemma.
After pondering for a long time, he said, "Then how should I fix him?" Ye Guogong, you just said that you were willing to share my worries?"
Zhang Changzong tried his best to suppress the fear and agitation in his heart, took a light breath, and replied respectfully: "The minister does have a plan. ”
Wen Ren said: "Say." ”
Zhang Changzong tried his best to relax himself, his eyes flashed, and a treacherous smile escaped from the corner of his lips, and said: "Since Zhao Zhen wants to coerce His Majesty to re-establish him as the crown prince, why doesn't Your Majesty plan it? Your Majesty can completely consider the mother and son to be in the gods, and hand over Yu Ding as a prerequisite for changing the crown prince, and then understand the reason in the letter, and move it with affection, so as to talk through the air, looking forward to his return, there must be an echo." ”
After a pause, he continued: "If Zhao Zhen is really the king of Yong back then, he must be aiming for the position of the crown prince, in this case, I am not afraid that he will not agree to meet His Majesty in the gods, otherwise he will only be very passive." At that time, as long as Zhao Zhen and his mourning henchmen arrive in the divine capital, His Majesty can order them to be wiped out, so that the turmoil can be fixed and the future troubles will be eliminated forever. ”
Hearing the opportunity, he left the dragon table, and paced in front of the Zhang sisters and brothers, sometimes frowning, sometimes flying.
After groaning for a long time, he glanced at Zhang Yizhi with bright eyes.
Zhang Yizhi's heart, which almost jumped out of his throat, was only able to return to his original position at this moment, secretly calling out that it was dangerous, but fortunately, Liulang was wise enough, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
It seems that the empress was finally moved by Zhang Changzong's countermeasures.
After Zhang Yizhi came into contact with the empress's gaze, he immediately understood and added: "Liulang's plan can be described as killing three birds with one stone. First, the army was sent to fight and plot, so as to avoid the trouble of the war when the imperial court mobilized the army and mobilized the people to send troops to Bashu to suppress the cult; second, it was possible to seize the three Yu Dings in his hands without blowing any effort, which would help the 'uncovered' plan; third, whether Zhao Zhen was true or not, it was a big problem for our long-term plan, and we could take this opportunity to kill the out-and-out traitor and the head of the chaotic party, Zhao Zhen, the Fire Divine Monarch, and at the same time announce the world with the golden mouth of 'this Zhao Zhen, not the other Zhao Zhen', so that the mouth of the world could be blocked. Your Majesty, Rokuro's plan is feasible. If Zhao Zhen is a fake and does not dare to come, His Majesty will send troops to encircle and suppress again, and it will be regarded as a famous teacher, and then with the participation of the Momen Killer Group, I believe it should not be too difficult to kill a person. ”
Hearing the opportunity, he stopped leisurely, faced Zhang Changzong, and said in a tone as cold as ice and snow: "I'm right." ”
The Zhang sisters and brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone that was pressing on their hearts also fell, knowing that they had passed the most difficult hurdle since the failure of Swallow Dock and their return to the Shendu.
This was the first time they had assisted the empress in carrying out a mission, and it was a difficult task.
Unexpectedly, they failed.
They knew that Wen Ren Ji was a tyrant who was tyrannical and refused to listen and killed people at every turn, and this defeat would not be spared.
But they didn't expect that the opportunity in front of them turned out to be a far-sighted Ming Jun, who not only forgave them for a failure, but also listened to and adopted the first plan they offered for the first time.
Drawing inferences from this, they also found that every time the empress hears the opportunity to do something, she will first set a goal, and she will do whatever is conducive to moving towards the goal, and she will eradicate what is not conducive to the goal.
Wen Renji's mood improved, and he said with a pleasant face: "Okay, you can retreat." ”
Zhang's sister and brother thanked him and withdrew from the imperial study.
......
Shu County Shu Wangfu.
West Hall, Inner Festival Hall.
The table was full of tea for lunch, and Lou Chongfeng and Centripetal sat leisurely by the window.
Zhao Zhen stood by the window, sneered, opened the secret letter unhurriedly, and read it for half an hour in one breath before resuming his proper breathing rhythm.
Looking at the sunlight spilling in from the window, he recalled the letter for a while, and said in a strange way: "Good writing, so touching." The feelings of missing his son between the lines jumped on the page, revealing a touching rhyme, full of provocative magic, and almost made this holy monarch cry. As he spoke, he handed the letter to Lou Chongfeng beside him.
This was naturally an opportunity for the empress to ask Shangguan Wan'er to write a letter to Zhao Zhen on her behalf.
Listening to what he said interestingly, the slender jade fingers like spring onions snatched the letter from Lou Chongfeng's hand crisply, and Ying Ying smiled: "I'll take a look first to see if it's as exaggerated as you said by the Holy Monarch." ”
Lou Chongfeng smiled dumbly, he didn't expect that she not only had a bit of bold and untamed charm, but also could become so funny.
Xiang Xin looked at the content of the letter with interest, and when he saw the emotion, he read it quietly in the empress's tone.
Lou Chongfeng and Zhao Zhen exchanged glances very tacitly, and they both saw that the other party saw the conspiracy in this letter.
After listening to this, Lou Chongfeng seemed to hold back a smile and said lightly: "The words are touching, it is a good article, and the warm trap is a good strategy." ”
Xiang Xin pouted and said, "Since this is a trap, will you still go to the appointment?"
Zhao Zhen looked deeply at her mellow and sweet wine-like eyes, and showed an unfathomable weird smile with great meaning, and said, "Go, why don't you go?"
Lou Chongfeng had already guessed that Zhao Zhen would make a fuss about this matter, and echoed: "Of course the Holy Monarch has to go." How can we miss such a great opportunity?"
Zhao Zhen said leisurely: "The mother emperor has given a big face, naturally it is difficult to be gracious, how can a son bear to break the heart of a mother who misses her son? ”
A pair of bright green eyes blinked, and she immediately felt mysterious and mysterious, and she didn't know why, so that she really couldn't answer.
With her relatively simple mind, even if she wanted to break her head, she couldn't understand the mysterious words between the two.
Lou Chongfeng said: "My subordinates will arrange it." ”
After a pause, he continued: By the way, Holy Monarch, do you want to inform the Pope about this?"
Zhao Zhen's eyes shot a sharp light, and said, "No." The Pope has suffered a serious internal injury since returning from Shushan, and it will take some time to retreat and practice to recover, so we should not bother him with such trivial matters. Now, it's time for our younger generation to stand alone. With the cooperation of the Great Brahma and the Holy Monarch, as well as the internal cooperation of the prison envoys, the goal can be predicted and the affairs can be accomplished. ”
Lou Chongfeng listened to the string song and knew the elegance, and said with interest: "Listen to the Holy Monarch." ”
Xiang Yingying stood up, showing her infinitely beautiful and proud figure without pretentiousness, exhaled a sigh, and sighed: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, that kid Feng Yi actually had the mercy of heaven and refined into the Yanhuang Holy Body, almost ruining the entire plan to attack Shu Mountain. It's disgusting!"
Lou Chongfeng's unfathomable deep eyes flashed with a hint of light, and said: "Although Feng Yi and I are only meeting for the first time, I faintly feel that this person is definitely not simple, this is not to grow the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of his own family." Among the monks of my generation, at the same time, he has cultivated his mental power and yuan power to such a terrifying realm, and he is afraid that he is the only one today. In the future, if we want to deal with him, we must set up a perfect game. ”
Zhao Zhen stretched his waist and said leisurely: "What the Great Brahma said is right. Dealing with Feng Yi is not an overnight effort, and it needs to be considered in the long run. However, when Feng Yi escorted Princess Changxin and Yan Guogong back to Shendu, Ben Shengjun had already ordered in advance to let Changxing go back to the Medicine King Valley, copy Feng Yi's old nest, and see if he could find Shennong Ding. ”
Centripetal's green eyes flashed with some excitement, and he exclaimed softly: "This plan is very good. ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help touching her fragrant face, and said with a pun: "The gong starts when it's a good show." ”
Xiang Xin glared at Zhao Zhen with a charming glance, that kind of beauty that seemed to be affectionate and ruthless, it was really shy.
Lou Chongfeng smiled awkwardly and left with a sense of humor.
