It's winter again, and Kyoto, which has always been the most prosperous, is showing a bit of decay.

Daqi lost half of the country, but fortunately, King Luo had no intention of continuing to attack, and the people continued to work hard.

However, after the winter, the price of rice and carbon fire has risen, and many families have begun to have difficulties in life.

There were many beggars who froze to death on the streets, and the lively streets were a little quieter.

People are tightening their belts, hoping to survive this winter.

The one who is still singing and dancing has not been affected, it is the palace.

Since being poisoned by the palace maids and cutting off children and grandchildren. The emperor was obsessed with taking pills and raised a group of Taoist priests in the palace.

I don't know if it's to vent or to prove myself, but I'm more enthusiastic about men and women.

In the middle palace, Queen Tao Mingran looked tired, this was her third year in the palace, and she felt that her heart was dead.

Now facing the emperor, she is half disgusted and half indifferent.

The respectful room gave her a record of the emperor's affair this month, and the queen opened it and looked at it, "Zicai people are becoming more and more favored." ”

The fine work that was once placed by Yan Chu next to Su Jingyi was purple. After Su Jingyi's complete downfall, she personally went into battle and became the emperor's woman. The more the emperor is hooked, the more obsessed with women.

"Your Majesty's frequency is too high, and I hope that Niangniang will persuade Your Majesty to cherish the dragon body." The man in the worship room knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

The queen waved her hand in annoyance, "This palace has a plan in mind, you can step back first." ”

"Mother, do you really care?" Mama asked cautiously.

Sooner or later, the emperor will have problems if he continues like this.

The queen rubbed her forehead, "It's not something I can manage, Concubine Xi persuaded her twice, and she was immediately snubbed by him." ”

It is obvious to all how favored Zhou Ji used to be in the harem, and it was the white moonlight that the emperor put down his heart.

Now he has fallen out of favor and lives quietly behind closed doors.

In the Changle Palace where Zicai lived, the emperor was surrounded by several beauties and the comfort of the maids.

Zicai personally brought in the freshly practiced elixir, "Your Majesty should eat the elixir." ”

The emperor was directly served by the beauty and gave three grains with wine.

After an hour of eating, the body starts to heat up. The emperor, who was originally sluggish, instantly came to his senses, grabbed a beauty and turned the clouds and rain.

Changle Palace instantly became a place of pleasure, and the emperor was infatuated with this feeling.

Even after the second daughter, she was still dissatisfied with beckoning to Liuzi, "You are still the most powerful person in Zicai." ”

Before Liu Zi entered the palace, he had been sent to a special place to study, and his means were extraordinary.

She walked over with a smile and fed the emperor a mouthful of secret medicine, the emperor did not reject it, this medicine would make him more powerful, and the imperial doctor had seen it, there was no poison and impropriety.

Lin Zheng numbly guarded outside the hall, knowing in his heart that the emperor would not be able to get out of Changle Palace without a day and a night.

Every time it comes out, the roots are sucked by the goblins*, as if they are dried up, and they are visible to the naked eye without energy.

But the emperor doesn't have a long memory, and he has to go every once in a while?

Lin Zheng clearly knew that if he continued like this, he didn't have to wait for Fu Jingchao to come in, and the emperor would soon finish playing with himself.

When the time comes, where should she go, Lin Zheng fell into deep thought.

Indulging in fun, the next day the emperor was again absent from the early dynasty. Officials have gone from initial indignation to numbness.

Yan Chu's expression remained unchanged, and there was ambition in his eyes that could not be concealed, and soon he would be able to achieve his goal.

Taifu looked at him with sharp eyes, "I heard that Master Chu introduced a Taoist master to Your Majesty a few days ago?" ”

"Taifu is really well-informed." Yan Chu chuckled.

Taifu scolded angrily, "Traitor to the country, Your Majesty will become like this, it is all your demagoguery..."

The capable official to the Taifu is naturally not an idle person, and he has already sensed Yan Chu's wolf ambition.

"I have to talk about evidence, I'm just working for Your Majesty, and I can't afford the accusations of the Taifu." Chu Yan was not weak at all, and answered with ease.

Taifu snorted coldly, went home and united several ministers to write down the sprinkling recital, hoping that the emperor Qingjun would listen to it on the side.

The emperor only glanced at the words of the emperor who wept blood for the country and the people, was silent for a while, and soon indulged in the illusion brought by the elixir.

Yan Chu, who received the news, was ready to take the opportunity to stand up and take power.

Soon, the people on their side began to fight back, digging out a lot of unwarranted things and buckling them on the heads of several ministers.

At this point, the Great Qi court was divided into two factions.

The faction was dominated by Yan Chu, and the faction was dominated by Taifu, and the struggle began.

And the emperor, who was in the center of the whirlpool, didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and after being fluttering like an immortal, he was coaxed by the Zicai people to lean towards Yan Chu's side step by step.

Yan Chu will please him even more, and the so-called ministers will only accuse and educate him.

He doesn't want to preach anyone at all now, he just wants to be happy for a day.

Anyway, he is no heir, and the throne is not cheaper than others after a hundred years, so why should he work hard.

Taifu's faction was slowly overwhelmed, and his son, who was also an official in the court, was almost framed and lost his life.

Lin Zheng in the palace couldn't stand it anymore, so he handed over the news and went out, so they avoided it.

Mrs. Taifu directly gave him two choices, either resign and leave Beijing, or leave together.

"What are you messing with?" Taifu said tiredly.

"If you want to die, you want to be a loyal minister, I won't stop you, but you don't want the whole family to bury you, what if you avoid it this time, what will you do next time?" Mrs. Taifu said sharply, "It is foolish to lose the life of the whole family for such a person!" ”

Taifu wanted to think of the newborn granddaughter in the family, and he couldn't say anything to refute it, the child was still so young, why should he pay for his life because of the court struggle.

"I promised the emperor that I would assist him well..."Taifu sighed.

"Do you think he can be saved like that?" Mrs. Taifu asked rhetorically.

Three days later, Mrs. Taifu left Beijing with her family. After persevering for a while, Taifu finally retreated bravely and resigned.

The emperor didn't care about it, but Yan Chu didn't kill him because he wanted to win over other people.

Since then, the Taifu faction has been defeated. The court was secretly controlled by Yan Chu, and the emperor became more and more obsessed with the harem, almost ignoring the major affairs of the court.

The queen then went out of the palace to offer incense and secretly summoned the Tao family, "Dad, what should I do next?" ”

Looking at his lifeless daughter, Tao's father regretted it inexhaustibly, if Daqi forgot, as the queen Tao Mingran would be in a catastrophe.

"I shouldn't have let you into the palace in the first place." Tao's father was annoyed.

Tao Mingran saw it, "The emperor's order is difficult, maybe this is my life." ”

She is the crown princess appointed by the first emperor, and the Tao family can't disobey, but she has no intention of resenting the family.

"I'm only afraid that Yan Chu wants to take the throne..."Tao Mingran lowered his eyes.

This is the worst situation, worse than King Luo coming in, it is really King Luo who has seized the throne, and the people may still have a way to live.
