Ao Chunyi stood on top of a hidden hill somewhere, looking at everything that was happening in the distance with a blank face.

There, the 'Heavenly Soldiers' led by Zhang Ling and Lin Yue were doing a secret and obscure thing: killing the emperor!

Although in terms of Zhao Hao's identity, he is just an abdicated emperor and a puppet. But an emperor is an emperor, and no matter how much water he once had, he was extraordinary!

In the history of the Purple Gold Empire, the killing of the imperial family only appeared in that turmoil more than three thousand years ago!

The turmoil within the Zhao royal family directly caused an irrational and crazy killing, and the final result was seen by everyone, the Zijin Empire existed in name only, the Zhao family ascended to the throne, and the original descendant Zhao royal family fell!

In the minds of ordinary people and even ordinary members of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', the royal family still has a certain amount of authority, and even if Zhao Hao, who abdicated, is no longer incompetent, he is also a former emperor and cannot be treated lightly!

When Zhao Hao cheated to death, it was rumored that the reason was that he was 'seriously ill and died', which was a little cut away from everyone's doubts and accusations! But even so, Zhao Min sacrificed a lot in order to recover the loss of his reputation! This is also the fundamental reason that directly led to the resistance that Liao Zhenbang encountered when they split the 'Hidden Dragon Society' was much easier than they imagined!

And this time, it is a blatant direct killing! If it is publicized by Liao Zhenbang and others, it will definitely be a greater blow to the prestige of Empress Zhao Min!

Therefore, this matter must be kept absolutely secret and no evidence should be left behind! Only in this way can Liao Zhenbang and the others not take this opportunity to strike another blow to Empress Zhao Min's prestige! After all, ...... Didn't the first emperor Zhao Hao 'die of a serious illness' before?!

But why did Ao Chunyi lead his subordinates forward?!

This is about to talk about the time when Empress Zhao Min summoned Ao Chunyi not long ago!

Because of Lin Yue's slander or reminder, Empress Zhao Min was still not at ease with Zhang Ling after all!

In other words, Zhang Wuji began to feel uneasy. As Zhang Ling's expression, Zhao Min is very clear about his cousin's temperament: she doesn't fight or grab, and she doesn't have too much ambition! But Zhang Ling is definitely the kind of person who can sacrifice everything for love!

Especially if in the future, after marrying Zhang Wuji, she will definitely be a typical 'good wife and mother'! To put it simply, if Zhang Wuji has any thoughts in the future, then Zhang Ling may no longer care about her Zhao Min for the sake of her lover...... As long as Zhang Wuji doesn't betray Zhang Ling, empathize and don't fall in love!

And what about Zhang Wuji?!

Zhao Min had to admit that she couldn't see through this man!

Judging from all the past, Zhang Wuji belongs to the best among men: he is not greedy for money, not lustful, and not in love with power, and it seems that all his actions are carried out under his extremely calm thinking! When he is on the job, he is conscientious and has no contempt, but once he can't do anything, he will never be impulsive because of his personal feelings, but choose the most beneficial option for himself!

According to normal circumstances, a man like Zhang Wuji should be a ruthless person who is absolutely selfish and selfish! But this is the kind of person who can choose the most beneficial option for himself every time, and he is full of feelings for his subordinates, and he will not escape alone but will bring his subordinates to get out of the predicament together! In this way, Zhang Wuji is also a man with affection and righteousness!

Zhao Min didn't know if Zhang Wuji also relied on his subordinates to supplement his strength by doing this, so that he would have something to rely on when he took refuge in his 'Hidden Dragon Club'!

But I have to say that Zhang Wuji has indeed won the hearts of many people, especially the hearts of the people under his command! Even in the 'Hidden Dragon Society', some people are angry about Zhang Wuji leaving in danger and not being loyal to the 'Green Dragon Gang', but they have to admit that Zhang Wuji did save everyone under his command, including the women, children, and children in his family!

As a superior, Zhao Min is not afraid that the people under his command have shortcomings and flaws, he is afraid that they are perfect!

Look at the people closest to her right now.

Zhang Ling grew up with Zhao Min since she was a child, her talent is average, and her temperament is also a little weak, although since Zhao Min became the supreme leader of the Zhao family and even the 'Hidden Dragon Society', Zhang Ling has a lot of power. But Zhang Ling is still the same Zhang Ling, not greedy for power or profit, and has no ambitions.

This kind of person will be a good friend and confidant, but he will not be a good subordinate. However, Zhao Min didn't care about Zhang Ling's ability, what she wanted was Zhang Ling's unambitious shortcomings!

'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan, once the world's number one master, the court pillar of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

But in Zhao Min's view, although Zhang Zhuofan's strength is extraordinary, his heart is not strong enough! He has too many fetters and obsessions about the Zhao family and the 'Hidden Dragon Society'! Especially between the revitalization of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' and his allegiance to the Zhao family, Zhang Zhuofan is prone to vacillation and hesitation.

In addition, Zhang Zhuofan misses the old feelings and cherishes family affection, and once his relatives are involved, it is difficult to make a cold-blooded judgment! This is also the key to Zhao Min's coup d'état to gain power: Zhang Ling's great help!

It was for this reason that the 'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan reacted more than one beat slower to Zhao Min's behavior, which eventually led to the established facts, so that he had to compromise with reality!

Now, Empress Zhao Min is even more threatening the safety of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' and the survival of the Zhao bloodline, and gradually controls the 'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan in her hands!

Next is Lin Yue, Zhao Min's name is a special existence of the master!

To say that Lin Yue had no selfish intentions in contacting Zhao Min before, Zhao Min didn't believe it!

After all, Lin Yue's mentorship and character mean that no matter how hard she tries, she can't have too many achievements! Above, there is the suppression of the older generation of masters such as 'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan, and below, there are many people who disdain Lin Yue's past and being a woman!

It can be said that when Lin Yue met Zhao Min and taught Zhao Min martial arts in the name of 'teaching art on behalf of the teacher', the purpose was not simple!

It can even be said that a large part of the reason why Zhao Min's worldview and abilities are now formed is that Lin Yue has shaped! Without her Lin Yue, maybe Zhao Min would be like her sisters, just a 'princess' living in vain, and it is impossible to become the only empress of the Purple Gold Empire today!

Zhao Min trusts Lin Yue, not only because Lin Yue's background is impossible to intimidate herself! More importantly, since Zhao Min gradually took power, Lin Yue has become a sharp knife and vicious dog by her side! No matter what dirty work, Lin Yue will do it! In addition, because of her personality and exercises, Lin Yue's reputation within the 'Hidden Dragon Society' is stinky, and it is impossible for Zhao Min to have any power!

Zhao Min knew this, and Lin Yue also knew. Without Zhao Min's support, Lin Yue would suddenly be nothing! But without Lin Yue's assistance, Zhao Min would be able to control his elbows everywhere, and it would be difficult to move an inch!

In the end, it was Ao Chunyi.

In fact, Zhao Min has nothing to say about him. As a new generation of young people of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', the reason why Ao Chunyi has the title of Marquis of Jingbian and the power far beyond most people is entirely because of Zhao Min's preference!

Although in terms of performance, Ao Chunyi has abilities that are almost comparable to Zhang Wuji, but ...... The foundation is too shallow!

Compared with Zhang Wuji, who has subordinates who really belong to him, everything about Ao Chunyi was given by Zhao Min, with the current situation, as long as Empress Zhao Min gives an order, Ao Chunyi will have nothing!

The above are the advantages and disadvantages of Zhao Min's cronies, and they are also the reason why Zhao Min is confident that he can control them: except for Zhang Wuji!

When under Lin Yue's 'reminder', Zhao Min felt that Zhang Wuji and Zhang Ling had to be monitored and restricted, so he had the reason to summon Ao Chunyi and now Ao Chunyi led people to monitor every move in the distance!

The 'Internal Guard', a secret department that has been established for only a few days, is also the only department under Zhao Min that will not be announced!

The department was established after Zhao Min summoned Ao Chunyi!

In order to guard against the threat from within the 'Hidden Dragon Society', and also to monitor and clamp down on the 'Six Doors' that Zhang Wuji actually controlled, Zhao Min instructed Ao Chunyi to establish such a secret department!

This department has only one mission: to secretly monitor everyone except Empress Zhao Min, and if there is an emergency, it can even be cut first!

It can be said that this is a department with great power, and it is also a terrible department! If it is in the hands of ambitious people, then it will be a disaster!

After Ao Chunyi received the authorization and order, his mood was complicated!

He knew that from this moment on, Empress Zhao Min really began to move towards the road of the emperor who was 'lonely'! After that, there was no family affection, no trust, and no emotion in front of Zhao Min, only power!

As Gu Yi's son, he lurked in the 'Hidden Dragon Society' under the pseudonym Ao Chunyi, and he saw the problems and dangers of the 'Internal Guard' at a glance!

I remember my father Gu Yi once said to him: 'Unrestricted power is a disaster'!

Under the command of his father Gu Yi, all the forces such as 'Xiao Tiantian' also have internal supervision departments. It's just that as a traverser in later generations, Gu Yi crossed the powers of these special departments, that is, supervised everyone and the territory under his command, and also supervised each other!

The result of this is that although the department is bloated and a little cumbersome, at least it will not be abused!

Ao Chunyi didn't dare to say that no one under his father's command would use the power in his hands to gain his own interests in the future, but he would definitely not be unscrupulous, and it was more likely that his crimes would be found out by departments of equal power!

And the 'internal guard' that Empress Zhao Min asked him to establish has no internal prevention mechanism, and it only relies on her Zhao Min's control over herself!

And all this...... It made Ao Chunyi feel ridiculous!

As a lurker, a person who can't really do things for her Zhao Min, how could Ao Chunyi not turn the 'Internal Guard' into his own words?!

Not to mention, Zhang Wuji's identity Ao Chunyi already knew that he wanted to monitor the other party by himself, what is the difference between being a thief and a thief shouting to catch a thief? !

"Maybe this is the difference in vision that my father said, right?" Ao Chunyi said to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

"Commander, they have evacuated!" At this time, a subordinate who went to investigate came to Ao Chunyi's side and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm. Ao Chunyi nodded and glanced at him, "Continue to monitor the fire, and we will act after the fire is extinguished!"

"Yes!"

"Besides......" Ao Chunyi turned around and said in a cold tone, "Before the fire is extinguished, anyone who intends to enter there or intend to put out the fire, no matter who it is, will be killed!"

"Understood!"

============================================

When Lin Yue entered the imperial city, it was already ten days old, and she did not hesitate or hesitate, and went directly to the inner court.

As one of Empress Zhao Min's henchmen, Lin Yue's status in the 'Hidden Dragon Society' is very special, and the guards guarding the palace will not prevent Lin Yue from entering the inner court without the special orders of Empress Zhao Min and without urgent orders.

As a result, Lin Yue smoothly entered the inner court, outside the empress Zhao Min's boudoir.

"Senior sister, are you back?" As soon as he arrived outside the door, Zhao Min's lazy voice came from inside.

"Yes. Lin Yue seemed to be slightly surprised, but she didn't say anything, and replied loudly.

"Come in. Zhao Min's tone was casual, he didn't look cold and arrogant in front of others, and he seemed very close.

"Yes. Lin Yue didn't have the slightest presumptuousness. As the closest person to Empress Zhao Min, Lin Yue is actually the person who is most familiar with Zhao Min's temperament and character. Don't look at Zhao Min's seemingly intimate and casual appearance now, if you take it seriously and go on unscrupulously, although Zhao Min will not be reprimanded in person, it will not be better to settle accounts after the autumn.

Entering the room, Zhao Min was sitting in front of a huge crystal mirror at this time to make up.

Although she is already the empress, Zhao Min doesn't like others to dress up for herself, especially unfamiliar strangers. Therefore, Zhao Min has never let the maid dress up for herself, and there are only two people who can have this 'honor': Zhang Ling and Lin Yue!

"It's done?" After Lin Yue took the comb in her hand and began to comb her hair, Zhao Min asked softly.

"It's done. Lin Yue said softly while grooming him.

"Is it confirmed this time?" Zhao Min didn't refute, but asked softly while closing his eyes while enjoying Lin Yue combing his hair.

"It's my own hand!" Lin Yue finished speaking, taking out a ring from his arms and putting it in front of Zhao Min.

This is a typical Zhao clan identity ring, every Zhao clan, especially men, will be given by their elders to wear on their hands when they become adults, and Zhao Hao is no exception!

Although this ring was given by Zhao Min, the only family elder in Zhao Hao's adulthood, and wore it for him, it was a family tradition and glory, and Zhao Hao did not discard it but always wore it on his body.

"It's it. Zhao Min took it in his hand, played with it for a while, and then said softly, "It seems that my eldest nephew is really gone!

After speaking, Zhao Min's hand was forced, and the ring was directly rubbed into a ball of gold, and he couldn't see what it looked like before!
