Suzaku Street, University Scholar's House.

When Zhang Xiren heard the words Queen Mother, he suddenly realized and sighed.

Although Yang Cheng's mind is deep and vicious, he has to admit that his eyes are also very vicious.

Since he said so, then Han Jin should be completely dead this time without a place to be buried. ”

Jiang Xuerou still didn't understand a little, but she didn't ask.

"In that case, I'll go and get a sword pill from the elders of the sect."

Zhang Xiren said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what that sword pill is for, it must be an extremely important treasure of your Heavenly Sword Sect.

I owe you a favor for this matter, and I will personally write to your master. ”

Jiang Xuerou felt a little painful at this time.

She knows very well how precious the sword pill is, so it is better to assassinate Han Jin.

Of course, the account can't be counted like this, the court battle is different from the battle in the rivers and lakes, it's not that the person is dead, and the matter is over.

And before Yang Cheng could wait for Jiang Xuerou to reply, he was already ready to do it.

Zhang Xiren will agree, they have already endured Han Jin to the extreme.

Moreover, Yang Cheng was not worried about Zhang Xiren, they did not give him the sword pill afterwards.

A minister with a good reputation like Zhang Xiren and a righteous faction like the Heavenly Sword Sect are very good.

That is, they cannot afford to lose face, and their reputation is generally good.

Yang Cheng did not enter the palace first, but went to Zhang Jinglin and begged him to bring a message to the Queen Mother, saying that he had something important to ask to see.

In a place like the harem, except for Han Jin, who can enter and exit at will, only a doctor like Zhang Jinglin does not have too many restrictions on entering and leaving.

So Yang Cheng could only ask Zhang Jinglin to help with the words.

The core of the Great Zhou royal family is very strange now, and it is nominally certain that Zhou Heng, the emperor, is in charge.

But in fact, the Empress Dowager is the largest, and the Great Zhou rules the world with filial piety, so as a royal family, it is natural to abide by this.

Therefore, the power of the Empress Dowager is also not small, as long as she expresses her opinion on anything, the emperor must obediently abide by it, and the lord of the harem is actually the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are in charge of the harem and the outside of the palace.

There is almost one person who is ignored inside and outside the entire Great Zhou court, and that is the mother of the current emperor Zhou Heng, the Empress Dowager Wanchun.

The queen mother is very low-key, she has been living in seclusion in the harem since Zhou Heng ascended the throne, except for what holy scriptures she has on weekdays, she rarely appears in front of outsiders, so that the Great Zhou court will subconsciously ignore such a person.

If Han Jin is moved, the role of this Empress Dowager Wanchun can be said to be indispensable.

Standing in front of the queen mother's dormitory, Yang Cheng looked at his nose and nose, his nose and mouth, and his eyes did not squint.

One is because I'm afraid of getting into trouble after watching too much, and the other is that the palace maids in this palace are actually nothing good-looking, and the quality is not very good.

And this is still deliberate, that is, I am afraid that the emperor will one day get into the brain, and he will catch a palace maid casually, resulting in impure blood of the royal family.

Therefore, most of the palace maids in this palace are actually the kind of five big and three rough ones who are responsible for rough work, and there are some older grandmothers.

Some people think that the emperor must be a harem of three thousand flowers, but in fact, he thinks it is too beautiful.

After a while, Zhang Jinglin came out of the dormitory and whispered to Yang Cheng: "The Queen Mother invited you in."

Lord Yang, although the Queen Mother has a good temper, she can't talk nonsense, otherwise I will be unlucky. ”

"Thank you Taiyi Zhang, don't worry, I know it."

After thanking Zhang Jinglin, Yang Cheng walked into the dormitory.

On the phoenix couch of the dormitory reclined a woman in a palace robe, next to which two palace maids were fanning the wind.

The moment he saw the Empress Dowager Wanchun, Yang Cheng actually had a feeling of amazement.

Empress Dowager Wanchun is Zhou Heng's mother, although she gave birth to a child earlier, she is also in her fifties this year, but she is in her early forties.

Graceful and luxurious, slender, gentle and decent, bright and moving.

Even standing with Zhou Heng, Yang Cheng would say that she was Zhou Heng's sister instead of her mother.

"Foreign Minister Yang Cheng, I have seen the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager Wanchun raised her hand lightly and said, "Lord Yang doesn't need to be polite, this palace has heard of you, and you are the hero of my Great Zhou."

It was you who stood up and turned the tide when the envoys of the Golden Horde provoked, and protected my face with one enemy and three enemies. ”

The voice of the Empress Dowager Wanchun was soft and very peaceful.

"The Queen Mother praised it falsely, as a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could he sit back and watch the foreign enemy be so arrogant? These are all things that a minister should do. ”

After a few polite sentences, the Empress Dowager Wanchun asked, "Why did Lord Yang come to the palace through Imperial Doctor Zhang?"

The affairs of this harem cannot be interfered with by the palace, let alone outside the palace. ”

Yang Cheng said in a deep voice: "The minister came this time to tell the Queen Mother, and you can intervene in the affairs inside and outside the palace in the future." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You must already know about Han Jin's disturbance of the court, Scholar Zhang and Taishi Cai have teamed up with hundreds of officials to prepare for Han Jin's impeachment.

But Your Majesty is lenient and soft-hearted, after all, Han Jin has served His Majesty for forty years, and I am afraid that this will not cost Han Jin's life.

The most important thing is that Han Jin is the head of the inner house, but he is a domestic slave of the royal family, and a group of foreign ministers impeached the domestic slaves, and His Majesty can hardly guarantee that he will not give birth to resistance.

Therefore, at this time, there must be a person with a considerable status in the royal family to stand up and give His Majesty a decision, and Han Jin will die. ”

The Empress Dowager Wanchun propped her chin and said: "This palace knows all this, but you also said that Han Jin is my royal family slave, even if he does something wrong, it will be handled by His Majesty, why does this palace have to open his mouth more?" ”

"Because although Han Jin is nominally His Majesty's domestic slave and a royal domestic slave, in fact, he is the domestic slave of the Empress Dowager!"

Yang Cheng's words shocked the Empress Dowager Wanchun, and she sat up subconsciously.

"Han Jin, the old dog, grew up taking care of His Majesty since he was a child, so he knows that His Majesty is lenient and a little indecisive, and he may not support him at a critical moment.

Therefore, Han Jin has always been the empress dowager all these years.

Although the Empress Dowager did not say a few words for him, as long as she came at a critical moment, it was enough to save his life.

The authority of the Imperial Guard Division is very wide, and part of it is to listen to various intelligence news, and a large part of the information has been given to the Empress Dowager by Han Jin.

Her old man can now know the world's major events without leaving the palace, and these are all done by Han Jin for her.

Queen Mother, you are Your Majesty's mother, the master of this harem.

The Empress Dowager has been in charge of the harem for decades, and although she is over seventy years old, she has no intention of letting go.

You've been waiting for more than a decade, but you don't seem to have waited yet.

And the eighth prince is so arrogant and jumpy in the court, aren't you worried and angry?

These are also the consequences of the connivance of the Empress Dowager.

Although His Majesty is his own grandson, the eighth prince is her own son.

Now that there is an opportunity to cut off the ears and eyes of the Empress Dowager, don't you want to speak? ”

Empress Dowager Wanchun stared at Yang Cheng tightly, and only after a while did she say in a cold voice: "Yang Cheng, do you know that if what you said is spread out, it will be enough for you to die countless times." ”

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Of course I know, but Danchen is telling the truth." ”

Empress Dowager Wanchun and Yang Cheng looked at each other for a moment, and finally said expressionlessly: "Go out." ”

"The minister retired."

Yang Cheng turned around and left directly.

Although in the end, the Empress Dowager Wanchun did not say whether she would agree or not, but it was obvious that she would not refuse.

Han Jin didn't know at this time that a storm against him inside and outside the court had come.

Zhang Xiren and Cai Taishi started extremely fast.

The two of them secretly connected hundreds of officials' handwritten notes and presented them to Zhou Heng to ask him to kill Han Jin.

Although Zhou Heng felt that Han Jin's wanton arrest was not appropriate, the impermanence book and the testimony from the interrogation were conclusive.

Moreover, the Golden Horde provoked before, and these civilian officials were useless, and Zhou Heng wanted to beat them when he was angry, so he didn't care about it.

But I didn't expect Han Jin to make such a big fuss, if he didn't care about it anymore, there would be a big problem.

"You put it down first, Han Jinzhen will definitely deal with it, don't think about it!"

Zhang Xiren was a little unwilling and said: "Your Majesty, Han Jin, this eunuch should be punished!"

If you don't kill him, how can you calm the anger of many officials in Da Zhou? ”

Zhou Heng felt a little awkward when he heard this: "What do you mean, Scholar Zhang?" If I don't kill Han Jin, will these civil officials rebel? ”

As soon as Cai Yan saw that the emperor was angry, he immediately pulled Lazhang Xiren's sleeve.

These two political enemies joined forces at this time, and they did not want each other to be unlucky in this matter.

At this moment, a little eunuch came over and said that the Queen Mother was coming.

Zhang Xiren's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Did Yang Cheng really invite the Queen Mother?

Zhou Heng hurriedly said, "Hurry up and welcome the Queen Mother in." ”

Empress Dowager Wanchun slowly walked into the main hall with two palace maids, and after meeting Zhang Xiren and Taishi Cai, she said to Zhou Heng: "Your Majesty, this palace has heard about Han Jin."

You just miss the old love too much, Han Jin's old eunuch has gone too far.

If Han Jin is dedicated to my Da Zhou, then even if he is doing extreme things, you can protect him.

But what do you see he's doing now? Taking advantage of His Majesty's trust, using the prestige of the Imperial Guard Division to extort countless wealth in the court, has Han Jin mentioned this money to you?

Betraying the master's house slave, if you don't kill it at this time, when will you stay? ”

Empress Dowager Wanchun's words were still very heavy in Zhou Heng's heart.

And after listening to it, Zhou Heng's face was also a little ugly.

After Han Jin blackmailed the money, he didn't give it to him, and he didn't even say anything, what did he want to do?

The most unbearable thing for the masters is not the greed of the minions, but their betrayal.

After a while, Zhou Heng said with a gloomy face: "What my mother said is that I will immediately let people kill Han Jin, the old dog!" ”

Empress Dowager Wanchun said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Han Jin has been in control of the Imperial Guard Division for all these years, and he is about to turn the Imperial Guard Division from the royal guard into his own private property.

There are many people in the Imperial Guard Division who only recognize Han Jin and do not recognize the imperial court, and there are many masters among them.

I heard that there is a commander named Yang Cheng in the Imperial Guard Division, who has been overturned if he is not in the same stream as him, and he has also tried his best to turn the tide and protect my face in Da Zhou.

Why didn't Your Majesty send him to kill Han Jin? ”

Zhou Heng also thought of Yang Cheng at this time, and his sense of Yang Cheng could be said to be very good.

Yang Cheng neither preached nor complimented him, but told him very objectively that the current decline of the Great Zhou was not his responsibility, and that he was important as an emperor, which made Zhou Heng feel very comfortable.

Moreover, the Golden Gun Pill that Yang Cheng gave him was very easy to use, and it was even so good that he was so late that he was several days late.

"Deliver the decree, revoke the position of Han Jin's internal governor, command Yang Cheng to temporarily take charge of the Imperial Guard, and order him to arrest Han Jin, to see people alive and corpses to death!"

Zhang Xiren and Cai Taishi watched the scene take a turn for the worse after the Queen Mother came forward, and Han Jin fell into a dead end in an instant, which made them all a little stunned.

Even if Zhang Xiren had already known Yang Cheng's plan in advance, seeing that everything was progressing according to Yang Cheng's previous layout, Zhang Xiren would still feel incredible.

This Yang Cheng is a martial artist on the surface, but in fact, he has a very thorough grasp of people's hearts.

Zhang Xiren could also see these things, but he had never thought about it, and even if he knew, he would not arrange it like this.

Using the harem to fight for power and profit is something that a scholar like Zhang Xiren can't do, and he doesn't bother to do it.

This Yang Cheng has a far-reaching layout, and his methods are vicious and have no taboos.

Although they worked together to kill Han Jin this time, this Yang Cheng was also about to take the throne.

I don't know why, Zhang Xiren suddenly had a feeling of regret.

Compared with Yang Cheng, Han Jin is just an old and greedy old eunuch.

And this Yang Cheng is a dormant beast, God knows what he will do after he ascends to the throne.
