Chapter 33: Mystic Guard
[Due to the matter of the official book, you and Zhou Zhenwen had a disagreement, and you did not ask him about the method of Qingzhou's cracking. 】
[After thinking about it, you took the method of using the dragon guard to coerce the Taishou, the county order, and the magistrate of Qingzhou County. Soon, under your arrangement, Zhou Xiu, the commander of the Dragon Guard, led the members of the four teams to secretly go to Qingzhou. 】
[The departure of the dragon guard, although hidden, also attracted the attention of the Queen Mother Su Chang. 】
[The Queen Mother Su Chang used her power in the harem to find out the reality of the dragon guard a few days later. 】
"It's changed, the direction of history has changed......"
Empress Liang Zhaodai frowned slightly, she thought about it slightly, and had to admit that if there was no reminder from Zhou Zhenwen, the most perfect plan she could think of was to use the imperial power to control the officials of these counties, so that they would not echo the rebellion of Zhang Qi, the Taishou of Qingzhou.
"If I insist on going my own way and choose to obey the Queen Mother's arrangement, Zhou Zhenwen has not achieved his goal, thinking that I am just a puppet of the Queen Mother, so naturally he will not want to cooperate with me, so that even if I ask him to come to the imperial study to ask, he may not tell me what he really thinks."
"Zhou Zhenwen should have seen from the matter of the Ministry of Shangshu that I wanted to get rid of the control of the Queen Mother and regain the imperial power, so I was willing to show goodwill and promote cooperation with me."
Empress Liang looked at the historical trend of Sims and quickly figured out the key.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
Empress Liang Zhao has just taken over the throne, above the court, there are many parties, and the harem is full of people from the Empress Dowager Su Chang, she can be said to be the enemy on her back.
Empress Dowager Su Chang, Empress Liang Zhao is impossible to cooperate no matter what, even if she endures humiliation, she feels disgusted.
The most important thing is that the other party is a spy of the enemy country, and he plans to seize the throne and become a female emperor at any time.
Working with such people is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
"Zhou Zhenwen's saying is right, the result of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is bound to be greater than the wolf."
"If I cooperate with the Empress Dowager Su Chang and want to get rid of Zhou Zhenwen and the Tsing Yi Party, the result will inevitably be that the Empress Dowager Party will dominate the court, and I will completely lose my right to speak, become a puppet, and be slaughtered by others."
"In addition to the Tsing Yi Party, other parties, whether it is the Qingliu Party, the Eunuch Party, the Yan Party, the Wang Party and other forces, are not strong enough, even if they are united, at most they can maintain the status quo, and it is impossible to get rid of the Queen Mother Party."
Empress Liang Zhao looked serious, looking at the changes on the simulator while analyzing the situation in the court now.
"If the imperial court is divided into three, the Tsing Yi Party accounts for one, the Queen Mother Party accounts for one, and the remaining parties plus my forces are barely counted as one."
"Neutral ministers may not participate in party struggles, they are used to protecting themselves, and it is more difficult to let them take action than to ascend to the sky."
"There seem to be a lot of forces that I can co-opt, but in fact, I don't have to choose, unless I can completely annex the Queen Mother Party or the Tsing Yi Party, otherwise even if other parties surrender, it is better than nothing, and it will not affect the overall situation."
"The three sides check and balance, they are enemies of each other, although there are strengths and weaknesses, but they are barely balanced."
After careful analysis, Empress Liang Zhao felt more and more that cooperation with Zhou Zhenwen was imperative.
Under the situation of tripartite balance, if you want to break the deadlock and take back the imperial power, you can only cooperate with the Tsing Yi Party.
[The Empress Dowager Su Chang sent someone to secretly investigate the use of the Imperial Horse Division in various parts of Jingzhou, and from the clues, the movements of the dragon guards were discovered. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: I went to Qingzhou...... Last time, the superintendent Feng Qian also went to Qingzhou, it seems that without the mourning family knowing, there are a lot of things happening in Qingzhou? 】
[The man in black: Back to the Queen Mother, the expenses reported by Qingzhou in recent years are huge, which does not match the actual situation, according to the villain's investigation, this is related to Qingzhou Taishou Zhang Qi. This person is extremely ambitious, and I am afraid that he is not satisfied with being a county guard, and wants to go further. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: Go further? What does he want to do? When the history of stabbing? Or is it transferred back to the capital to be a first-class officer? 】
[Man in Black: The villain estimates that this person wants to be crowned king and become a king with a different surname. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: Hehe, interesting, in this way, he has a deep collusion with the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom, the King of Yanzhou, and the King of Xuzhou! 】
[Man in black: I'm afraid it's not just that, Qingzhou has had bumper harvests year after year in recent years, but the grain handed over has not increased, and the villain suspects that in addition to ordnance, books, and population, Qingzhou Taishou Zhang Qi is also secretly selling Qingzhou and hoarding grain. 】
[Empress Dowager Su Chang: So the emperor asked the dragon guard to go to Qingzhou, just to quell the Qingzhou rebellion and kill Zhang Qi, the Taishou of Qingzhou? 】
[Men in Black: The villain thinks so. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang: If Qingzhou is in chaos, many vassal kings will see jokes, and the imperial court will send troops to conscript, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble......]
[Man in black: Queen Mother, the villain thought this was an opportunity. 】
[Queen Mother Su Chang shook her head: It's not time yet...... Although the dragon guard was transferred out of the capital, the other mysterious guard never showed his face, the Great Wilderness can calm the world, this guard has made great contributions, whenever the Great Wilderness is stormy, this guard will always take action. Before the investigation was clear, the mourners did not want to take risks. Besides, the mourning family is still waiting for him to enter the Nine Dragons Mausoleum......]
"Huh?"
Looking at the conversation between the Empress Dowager Su Chang and the man in black, Empress Liang Zhao's pupils condensed slightly, and a chill arose in her heart: "This demon queen knows that I want to enter the Nine Dragons Mausoleum?" ”
"Yes, with her strength, she must have secretly infiltrated the Nine Dragons Mausoleum, and may even have entered the interior, but she didn't enter the core area."
"The core area needs a martial arts bronze ring, others will definitely be confused by the illusion when they enter, she has endured it for so many years, how deep her scheming is, she naturally won't take risks, and she will definitely have other ways to lure me into the Nine Dragons Mausoleum."
"Fortunately, I have a simulator that can deduce the future, otherwise I am afraid that I will really be deceived by her and enter the Nine Dragons Mausoleum, resulting in the destruction of the martial arts inheritance."
"And behind the stone gate, the mysterious treasure hidden in the station of the invincible gate, if it falls into the hands of the demon queen, the great wilderness will really be over."
Empress Liang Zhao remembered the stone tablet left by Taizu, and muttered: "Before it says a product, you must not enter, otherwise you will have to worry about your life, can I take advantage of this to plot against the demon queen?" ”
"No, no, it's still too risky."
"Even if the stone tablet is destroyed, I can't deal with the second-grade grandmaster, once the demon queen has any backhand and can ignore the danger behind the stone gate, then it will be empty."
"You still can't take risks, be steady, find a way to regain the imperial power first, abolish the power of the demon queen, and then find a way to kill her step by step."
"Hmm...... You have to borrow Zhou Zhenwen's strength, otherwise I am afraid that I can't deal with those old guys in the worship hall alone, they haven't fought for a long time. ”
"Facing the second-grade grandmaster of the martial arts family of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, I'm afraid it's not an opponent......"
From the second rank of the Grandmaster, there will be decay and aging, and the older you get, the weaker your strength becomes.
There are indeed grandmasters in the worship hall, but the strength is not guaranteed.
In the last simulation, when Zhou Zhenwen and Su Chang were fighting, the master of the worship hall never appeared, which proved this.
Those old things, it's too life-saving.
