Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2109
[Chapter 623: Conspiracy launches]
Let’s talk about the human race’s capital city. After dark, the city gates are closed tightly, but when the lanterns are lit up everywhere in the city, the city is well-deserved as the most prosperous city in the world.
Different from the hustle and bustle in the city, the palace is much quieter. After all, the palace is an important place and there are many rules and tight security after nightfall.
However, the lights in the emperor’s palace were brightly lit at this time.
The fat man Zhao Ruizhi yawned listlessly, draped one leg casually on the dragon chair, stuffed the pastry next to him into his mouth, took another bowl of tea bone and drank it all in one gulp, and then said: “You two Uncle Emperor, why are you looking for me so late? Tell me if you have anything to do, I still want to play.”
Opposite him, stood two middle-aged men, wearing the clothes of palace generals.
One of them is called Zhao Si and the other is Zhao Tai. Their father is Zhao Huang, the king of Yi. Zhao Huang is the general of Zhendong and is the founder of Yitong Sansi. He is a highly respected person in the royal family.
In the Zhou Dynasty, for the sake of loyalty, the imperial guards in the palace mostly selected noble sons of the clan, and the two brothers became the generals of the imperial guards in the palace.
Because Yi Wang Zhao Huang is Zhao Hao’s uncle, the two of them are also Zhao Ruizhi’s uncles in terms of seniority.
Seeing that Zhao Ruizhi was sitting upright, a lot of the cake crumbs from just now were sprayed out when he spoke, which really didn’t look like a king.
However, the two of them definitely did not get up to advise the emperor on his behavior. After hearing this, they hurriedly said: “We have confidential matters to report to the emperor. Please step aside, please.”
As they spoke, they looked at the eunuchs and maids next to them in embarrassment.
“How dare you ask to see the emperor in the middle of the night, how can you let the emperor be alone with you?” scolded the eunuch behind Zhao Ruizhi. He was an old man who had been with the prince since the East Palace period, and now his status has increased.
Everyone used to call him Xiao Xuzi, but now who doesn’t respectfully call him Eunuch Xu?
Of course he knew where all his glory came from, and he was naturally concerned about Zhao Ruizhi’s safety. After all, he was not… a normal person and had no ability to protect himself.
At this time, a general at the door said solemnly: “I will stay here to protect the emperor. No one can be hurt.”
The closest troop guarding the emperor was Hitting Huben. The leader who hit Huben was Guangling King Zhao Yuan, followed by the generals in the palace. , the middle man in the palace.
And this person is Li Guanshi, the middle man in the palace.
As Zhao Yuan, it was impossible for him to stay close to the emperor at all times, so Li Guanshi and various imperial guards were basically responsible for Zhao Ruizhi’s daily safety.
He had a very high level of cultivation and was very reliable in his work. When Eunuch Xu saw him speaking, he didn’t say anything more and left one by one with the others.
After the eunuchs and maids left, Zhao Ruizhi said impatiently: “Tell me what you have to say.”
At this time, Zhao Si and Zhao Tai both knelt on the ground: “Your Majesty, the Taifu and the Cavalry General Liu brothers colluded with the regent. The king, Litong Demon Clan, intends to rebel!”
“Huh?” Zhao Ruizhi originally picked up another piece of pastry and was about to bite it, but he was stunned when he heard this.
Even if he is stupid, this news is too explosive.
“This is impossible. The Grand Tutor and the others are the elders of the Queen Mother and are loyal to me. The Regent is also my master. How can they conspire against me?”
“This is absolutely true. There was news from the demon clan before. , saying that there was a problem in their sealed land and they needed our support. The regent and the Liu brothers strongly advocated sending reinforcements to the Monster Clan. As a result, not long after, our reinforcements were ambushed by them in the Monster Clan territory. A hundred thousand elite troops The entire army was wiped out!” Zhao Si said hurriedly.
Zhao Tai also echoed: “Yes, now I think that the news about the Demon Clan’s Sealed Land was only said by Zu An. He is the regent of the Demon Clan and colluded with the Demon Clan’s Little Demon Queen. Obviously he wants to take this opportunity to ambush us. The effective force of the human race can clear the way for the future invasion of the demon race. ”
“The Liu brothers are responsible for this matter, and they are obviously complicit with Zu An.”
…
The two of them were spitting, but Zhao Ruizhi looked at the two in confusion. After a long while, he said: “Didn’t I say this in the court before? Linglong and the Queen Mother both said that the frontline intelligence was unknown, and it is too early to make a judgment now. Do you have anything else to report? If not, I’m just going to play with grasshoppers.”
Zhao Si and Zhao Tai were immediately dumbfounded. They never expected that their passionate impeachment could not arouse his interest at all.
They know that if they don’t get the results they want today, a whole bunch of people, including them, will be dead tomorrow.
Thinking of this, the two gritted their teeth and said, “The Queen Mother is from the Liu family, so she will naturally defend the Liu family.”
“The Queen, the Queen is…”
“What’s wrong with Linglong?” Zhao Ruizhi suddenly raised his head and stared at the two of them fiercely.
It doesn’t matter the others, Bi Linglong is his rival. After so many years, he has regarded him as the most important person.
Seeing his reaction, the two of them were a little frightened, and since they couldn’t find any reasonable reason for a while, they fell silent.
“If there’s nothing else, get out.” Zhao Ruizhi felt unhappy. No matter if he was an uncle or not, there were so many royal families and these two were not important people. Linglong had told him that everything important should not be underestimated.
At this time, Li Guanshi at the door suddenly said: “The queen probably said that deliberately to help the regent.”
Zhao Si and Zhao Tai’s eyes widened immediately, this guy really dared to say that.
Sure enough, Zhao Ruizhi suddenly became furious and glared at the other person: “What did you say?”
Although he was more of a fool on weekdays, there seemed to be murderous intent in his eyes at this time.
At this time, Li Guanshi had some hesitation on his face: “The queen seems to be too close to the regent, and the empress treats the regent obviously differently from other men.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Zhao Ruizhi suddenly became anxious, and his body was shaking. .
Li Guanshi sighed: “Your Majesty, think about it carefully. The Queen never lets other men enter her palace, not even you, but the Regent can go in directly without any communication.”
Zhao Sihe Zhao Tai’s breathing became rapid. He seemed to have heard something extraordinary today.
Although both of them were generals of the imperial army in the palace, they had occasionally heard some rumors, but they did not take them seriously at the time. Now that they have been confirmed by people around the emperor, the meaning is different.
“That’s because Linglong and the regent have a major military matter to discuss. Linglong told me about this.” Zhao Ruizhi hurriedly defended.
“But why is the emperor not allowed to enter the palace?” Li Guanshi looked at him with a sympathetic look.
“That’s because…because…” Zhao Ruizhi’s fat face flushed red, and some meaningless words came out of his mouth. He couldn’t come up with a reasonable reason for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Si and Zhao Taifu came to their minds and hurriedly followed up:
“By the way, I seem to remember that when the empress was still the crown princess, she seemed to have had an affair with the regent.” ”
Yes, the late emperor did this for this . I even asked someone to check the princess’s virginity.”
Zhao Ruizhi seemed to have found a life-saving straw and immediately said: “Yes, the nun in the palace at that time proved Linglong’s innocence, and the sacrificial wine also asked Zu’an about it. He did not lie.”
At this time, Zhao Si’s face showed up . A weird smile: “Your Majesty, mothers and the like can be bribed. Although the sacrificial wine will not be bribed, what if he is willing to protect someone? You must know that he has always valued Zu An, and later he will also sacrifice the wine. The position of wine was passed to him, which proves that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.”
“Shut up, shut up!” Zhao Ruizhi threw the tea cup in his hand at the two of them, “You are just making random guesses. , Linglong has been so good to me, and the regent has saved me many times, so they have no reason to do anything sorry to me.”
“Who said there is no such thing,” Zhao Si said hurriedly, “That Zu An is probably the remnant emperor of the previous dynasty. Sun, although it is a rumor, it may not be unfounded. He has a blood feud, and of course he wants to rebel and overthrow our Zhou Dynasty!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruizhi’s face suddenly became gloomy. He is not completely mentally retarded, some simple good and bad things. It is still clear that if the regent really has this identity, he does have enough motivation to rebel.
At this time, Li Guanshi also spoke: “As for the Queen, she is naturally very affectionate towards the Emperor, but the Regent is too powerful. Even the Emperor’s own brother, King Jin, was killed whenever he asked, and the King Dai was deposed. Maybe in order to protect you, the empress had to bear the humiliation and cater to the regent.”
“What!” Zhao Ruizhi suddenly stood up and pointed at the other party, his whole body was so excited and angry that his voice almost trembled.
Li Guanshi went on to finish the attack: “Your Majesty, do you still remember that one time? The Regent entered the Queen’s palace. The Emperor happened to run but was stopped outside the door and could not go in. In the end, the Regent stayed inside for several hours before he came out. ”
Stop talking!” Zhao Ruizhi covered his ears with his hands, his fat face in great pain. These things seemed normal before, but when they talked about it today, they gradually found it strange.
“Your Majesty, take care of yourself. A little impatience will ruin your plans. I’m sorry for the sacrifices I made for you.” Li Guanshi consoled him.
“You bastard bastard,” Zhao Ruizhi kicked the chair next to him, “Be patient, bear with your uncle, come here, I will cut those rebellious ministers and thieves into thousands of pieces!
” How can I do these things myself? I can just leave it to the ministers. I just need an edict from the emperor.” Zhao Si and Zhao Tai said hurriedly.
Thinking of Zu An’s fierce side in the past, Zhao Ruizhi couldn’t help but swallowed his saliva: “What Ai Qing said is true, but the edict requires me to summon the ministers from the province…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Si had already He took out an imperial edict from his arms: “Your Majesty, please rest assured. We, our loyal ministers, have already drafted the edict. All we need is for the emperor to stamp it with his seal.”
“That’s great!” Zhao Ruizhi was overjoyed, but he never thought about why the other party had so early Such an edict was prepared.
He took the edict and stamped it with the jade seal without even looking at it. All he could think about now was killing the abominable Zu An, so he couldn’t care about anything else.
Originally, Bi Linglong was the one handling various government affairs in the palace, but for the sake of the emperor’s good looks, she would return the jade seal to Zhao Ruizhi for safekeeping after handling the government affairs during the day, and then ask for the jade seal from him the next day.
I never expected that someone would seize the opportunity at night to cause such a big thing.
After Zhao Si and Zhao Tai left the emperor’s palace, they were very happy: “Fortunately, General Li helped us today, otherwise our plan would have failed.”
“I don’t know who General Li is and why he helped us. As for the loyal emperor, he spoke out of indignation. ”
“Of course it’s impossible. He is the lieutenant of the palace. He is probably a subordinate of Zhao Yuan, the king of Guangling, but it’s not necessarily true. Maybe it was arranged by other adults. The secret in the palace played a decisive role today. ”
“Do you think the name he mentioned about the ancestor and the queen is true?”
“The stupid emperor believed it, so do you? What kind of temperament does the queen have? She has always been a noble lady, and her mother is How could a model in the world do such a thing? ”
“That’s right, that man named Li is so ruthless, he actually came up with such a vicious plan.”
“Fortunately, he is from our side.”
…
A man outside the palace . In the small courtyard, there was no light in the room.
But a group of people were sitting inside, waiting for something without saying a word. The atmosphere was particularly oppressive and silent, and many people had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
You must know that what is planned today is very big, and if it fails, it will be a catastrophe that will confiscate the family and exterminate the family. Even the people in the scene are accustomed to seeing big winds and waves, and they are extremely nervous at this time.
At this time, the door was opened, and someone brought in a roll of something. The bright yellow color on it made everyone in the room brighten their eyes.
The person at the head was the father of the current queen, Bi Qi, the head of the Bi family. He took the imperial edict and looked at it, and couldn’t help but laugh: “Half of the matter is already done, everyone will act according to the plan!”
“Yes! “Everyone stood up and left. If anyone else saw this scene, they would be very shocked, because everyone is a very important figure in the capital.
…
In the Pei family in the capital, a lively banquet was being held in the other courtyard, where two young men were holding hands and chatting over wine.
“Brother Pei, which girl from your Pei family is out of line? Can you tell me the truth?”
“Brother Gao, you are so unfaithful. I have asked you out so many times before and you can’t refuse. As a result, you came over immediately when the Pei family wanted to marry you.”
The two people were clearly Gao Ying and Pei You. After the situation in Yunzhong County stabilized, they were summoned back to the capital by their respective families.
It’s a pity that I just missed the opportunity to meet Zu An.
“It’s not like you don’t know that I am now responsible for the safety of the palace, and my responsibilities are very heavy. It is so rare that I only get a leave.” Gao Ying said with a bitter smile.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re pretending again, I almost forgot to congratulate you on your promotion to General Right Guard.” Pei You said with a smile.
“It’s not like you don’t know. I am a well-connected person. How can I convince others at such a young age? So I am walking on thin ice. I haven’t been able to find time to get together with my brothers these days. I have punished myself with three drinks.” Gao Ying was distressed and took the initiative. Had three drinks.
The Liu family is now very powerful. As the nephew of the Liu family, Gao Ying will naturally be placed in some important departments with real power.
Pei You couldn’t help but sigh and drank with him: “As long as we know the root cause, I know that this is indeed what you really think. If it were others, I’m afraid they would think you were deliberately showing off.”
“But . You don’t have to belittle yourself, your cultivation has progressed very quickly these days, and you are now at the ninth level. In addition to being a little younger, you are already qualified for this position.”
Gao Ying said angrily: “It’s not like you don’t know this about me. How did the ninth grade come about? It was all a result of the resources of the Liu family regardless of the cost. To be honest, I feel that it entered the country too fast, and the unstable foundation will leave a lot of hidden dangers in the future. ”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I’m pretending again. I thought the Pei family had given me so many resources and piled them up.” Pei You was a little depressed. His status in the Pei family was naturally not as good as that of the other party.
Gao Ying also realized something was wrong and put his arm around his shoulders: “Stop talking about this, you can tell me secretly. Which lady do you intend to marry me?”
Girls from the Pei family are famous for their beauty. Pei Mianman, for example, was shocked when he first met her. Of course, she was the woman of his ancestral brother, so he didn’t dare to think about it. He only thought about what if It is enough for the Pei family to marry 60 to 70% of Pei Mianman’s beauty this time.
Pei You said awkwardly: “Actually, I don’t know about this. My father told me. I don’t know which house the older generation is interested in. But you don’t have to agree to it today. Let’s take a look first and wait. Brother, I’ll find out more for you in private.”
Gao Ying was overjoyed: “That’s enough, brother!”
The two of them drank together, and other people from the Pei family came to drink from time to time, so the drinking was very lively.
“Hey, why is the sky a little red?” Suddenly, some female relatives at the table started talking.
Gao Ying glanced at it casually and subconsciously replied: “I guess one of the houses got away with it. Let me think about which house it is in that direction…”
Suddenly his eyes widened and he broke into a cold sweat because it belonged to the palace. Direction, there are no other houses nearby.
“Yunlongmen!” As the right guard general, he has been familiar with the layout and terrain of the palace these days, and he immediately realized where the fire started.
Yunlong Gate is one of the two most important gates in the imperial palace!
He couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up to leave. Who knew that as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and almost fell down.
“This is wrong, the wine is poisonous!”
