Chapter 35 The Death of the Queen
Zhao Chong was picked out from the dead by Ji Bao.
There were three stab wounds on his body.
One is the arm.
One place is the back.
The last place is the chest.
These three wounds can clearly tell what Zhao Chong went through that night.
Chen Luo didn't say anything, he just asked Ji Bao to bury Zhao Chong in a good place nearby with green mountains and green water at his back.
"After all, they are one of the few friends."
Chen Luo sighed slightly.
But that's all.
This is Zhao Chong's fate.
It's also his choice.
The harem was about to be in chaos. He actually had many opportunities to escape perfectly, but he chose to refuse.
And the final price of this refusal was to lose his own life.
Don't fight or grab.
Avoid arrogance and impatience.
This is Chen Luo's code of conduct, but it is not Zhao Chong's code.
He doesn't actually have to die.
But he touched too many things that he shouldn't touch...
Because of the Zhao family, he was determined to manage relationships in the harem in the past few years, ranging from concubines to palace maids and eunuchs.
In such a large harem, the network of connections is quite extensive.
Emperor Yongle's intention to clean up the harem was obvious, and it was nothing more than to completely uproot the White Lotus Sect's roots in the palace.
Naturally, Zhao Chong could not avoid being exposed to the White Lotus Sect in recent years.
If he doesn't die, who will?
But this is not the end.
But start.
The appearance of Dongchang, with his overwhelming power, made the entire Zhou Dynasty feel breathless.
There used to be only one Jin Yiwei.
Now there is an additional east factory.
The officials were careful at all times, but could not escape their surveillance.
There is no secret even if it is between the bed and the bed.
This is not an exaggeration.
The current Minister of Rites, Yan Yongqi, is in his thirties, but he is already quite powerless in matters between the bed and the bed, and is often complained by his wife.
This is a boudoir secret.
Outsiders have no way of knowing.
But the next day, Emperor Yongle ordered someone to deliver the palace Liuwei Pills, and laughed at Yan Yongqi, the Minister of Rites, and told him to take good care of his body and not neglect his wife.
At first Yan Yongqi didn't react.
But when I came back, I was covered in cold sweat.
All the officials were in danger, and even after returning home, they didn't even say a word.
Often indicate with gestures.
Said: Walls have ears!
Chen Luo ignored these and didn't care about them. He just continued to cultivate himself at Ji Bao's house.
[You have practiced Tai Chi for a round, gained some insights into the Tai Chi Heart Sutra, and your martial arts experience has been improved.
Experience value +50!
PS: Your boxing skills are becoming more and more like a master. In the long run, there will definitely be a qualitative breakthrough! ]
"It's been the twelfth year of Yongle!"
Chen Luo listened to the voice in his ear.
Some people got emotional.
The old year has gone and the new year has come.
Unfortunately, during this year, I still failed to enter the innate realm.
However, it was soon.
Seeing that there was only less than one-third of the Qi in his body, Chen Luo showed a satisfied smile on his face.
One year!
One more year at most.
He must be able to convert all the Qi in his body into spiritual liquid.
At that time, it will be the time for you to enter the innate realm!
However...
it was in May of the twelfth year of Yongle.
News came from the harem. As soon as the news came out, the government and the public were shocked.
The current prince Xiao Qian is not doing his job properly.
Virtue does not match.
The prince was deprived of his position and placed under house arrest in the Sutra-Depository Pavilion. He was not allowed to leave the Sutra-Depository Pavilion without an order!
Decree at the same time.
Abolish the queen's position and banish her to the cold palace.
As for the number of crimes, it is simply unspeakable...
When they heard the news, all the officials in the court were shocked.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Empress Shangguan has done over the years, and she can even be called a virtuous empress.
Nine out of ten of the crimes listed by Emperor Yongle were slandering Empress Shangguan.
How is this acceptable?
then!
Headed by Zhang Weizheng. All the important officials in the court knelt outside the imperial study room.
Asked Emperor Yongle to withdraw the order to depose Empress Shangguan.
Emperor Yongle is missing!
And he ordered the palace guards, scepters, and
officials to become cold-hearted.
Zhang Weizheng even stood outside the imperial study room, intending to die to make a speech, hoping that Emperor Yongle would wake up. Although he was saved by luck, Emperor Yongle did not change at all.
Zhang Weizheng, a generation of famous officials, was extremely disappointed with Emperor Yongle.
Chen Luo felt that something was wrong with this matter.
There is something weird about it from beginning to end.
Although Emperor Yongle has changed a lot over the years, he has not reached the level of dictatorship.
In particular, Emperor Yongle respected Zhang Weizheng.
More than half of the reason why Zhou Dynasty is so strong today is due to Zhang Weizheng.
Emperor Yongle was not so stupid that he did not even consider Zhang Weizheng's words.
This is one of them...
The situation in the capital has changed, but things in the frontline battle are still progressing in an orderly manner. News came that the Great Zhou had conquered thirty-six cities of Zhao State a few days ago and once again captured the three states of Zhao State.
This is the second one...
"It seems that there are still many things among them. If you want to understand the reasons, it seems that you need to clear away the heavy clouds to see clearly!" It's a pity
.
I don't care about these things.
No matter how turbulent this week is, Chen Luo will just fish alone in the Qiyang River.
After all, nothing in this world is as attractive as sunbathing and fishing by yourself!
What no one knows is.
When Zhang Weizheng was sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
That night.
A member of the Dongchang who was monitoring the Prime Minister's Mansion had a knife wiped across his neck.
An old man wearing coarse linen clothes, but quite imposing, stepped into Zhang Weizheng's room.
When I saw this old man.
Zhang Weizheng struggled out of bed.
Looking at him with shock on his face.
...
The atmosphere between the government and the public during the Great Zhou Dynasty became very subtle.
The city defense in the capital is becoming more and more tense.
Ji Bao was originally able to go home once a day, but later it became three days, and then it was a week.
He worriedly said to Chen Luo:
"I always feel that it is getting more and more abnormal recently. I always feel that something is about to happen... Mr. Chen, I want to resign from the position of commander of the city defense army. What do you think?" Chen Luo heard this
. He was indeed a little surprised when he said:
"The position of the commander of the city defense army is not small. If you continue to stay, there may not be a chance of promotion. Are you sure you want to resign?"
Ji Bao sighed:
"This position is naturally good. I wouldn't be willing to do it in normal times. I don’t know why, but I always feel a little uneasy recently.
I always feel that it is not a good thing to continue, so I came up with this idea.
Now my family is relatively stable, and I occasionally do some small business, and I will not starve to death in the rest of my life.
As for Everything about the younger generation is always determined by the younger generation. I can't protect him forever, right?" "
Dad, are you calling me?" Ji Yun,
who was playing with a sword and dreaming of being a hero, asked Ji Bao in confusion.
Just now... seemed to be talking about myself?
"Get out of here, don't make any noise!"
Ji Bao glared at this bitch fiercely.
I usually get no response when calling him, but now my ears are very good.
"Get out of here, no matter what."
Ji Yun hummed and ran away.
He was going to find Cen Suzhi and Xue Yuan.
During this time he figured it out.
Only children make choices.
Ji Yun wants both of them!
Chen Luo didn't expect Ji Bao to say such words this time.
In the chess game of life.
Fame, power and money.
There was a lot of disturbance.
The temptations of the world of mortals are like crucian carp crossing the river, emerging one after another.
But few people can see things as clearly as Ji Bao...
He didn't give Ji Bao any advice.
I just said it from the bottom of my heart.
Ji Bao nodded.
The next day, he resigned from the city defense army.
Also on the day after he resigned from his post, news came out of the harem.
Empress Shangguan is dead...
Died in the Cold Palace.
Emperor Yongle went to the Cold Palace to kill her in person...
