After sending Caiyun boy away, Zhang Zixing, who had obtained important information, immediately returned to the palace and made a series of emergency arrangements, and summoned senior doctor Fei Lian to the palace overnight.
Fei Lian had been living a leisurely life since the incident with the female gangster. He had nothing to do with the New Deal anyway, so he simply took it easy.
"Fei Lianqing's family, I have called you here for an important task this time." Hearing this sentence, Fei Lian couldn't help but beat his heart. The important tasks mentioned by the emperor are most likely to be difficult matters.
"Ai Qing accomplished great feats by seducing the female demon last time, and the imperial master finally successfully eliminated the demon. We are even happy. I wonder if the evil will be healed?"
Upon hearing the word "Guoshi", Fei Lian secretly paid attention and replied: "Thank you for your majesty's concern. The dog has basically recovered and will be able to return to the palace soon to wait for your majesty's orders."
"There are two major events at the moment, both of which are urgent. The Qing family cannot relieve everyone's worries." Zhang Zixing's tone became more solemn, "The purpose of wiping out the female scourge that day was to save all the people in the world, but unexpectedly it led to a more powerful enemy.
"
Hearing this, Fei Lian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately guessed the identity of the "enemy". He heard the Emperor say as expected: "That enemy is none other than the Yellow Emperor Shi Yu Shen Ying Long. He has great magic power and is even better than the female slaves. He is not a great doctor."
Can't match..."
Fei Lian had just suppressed Ying Long in the Second World War. Now that his cultivation was greatly damaged and he was alone, how could he dare to confront Ying Long? He immediately said: "Ying Long is an ancient god with profound magical power. In the past,
The Battle of Zhuolu showed great prowess and was beyond the power of my subordinates. This matter requires the personal action of the national master to ensure victory."
Zhang Zixing looked hesitant and said: "You are a minister whom I trust, and I don't hide it from you. The imperial master went against the will of heaven that day and used magical powers to bring rain to the emperor and relieve the drought. This hurts the vitality. I am afraid that we may not be able to defeat Yinglong."
Fei Lian had already guessed that the rain was not all the result of the emperor's prayers. After all, he had personally experienced the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou, and he had also suspected that Yinglong was responsible for the rain that relieved the world's drought. But it stands to reason that even Yinglong would not
It was impossible to make it rain all over the world at the same time. After hearing what the emperor said, I realized that it was the national master with great magical powers, and I couldn't help but be in awe.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's strength is really limited. I will definitely betray your Majesty's trust. Please forgive me for Yinglong's matter. If there are other things within my power, I will not dare to refuse."
Seeing that Fei Lian repeatedly refused to deal with Ying Long, Zhang Zixing sighed: "It's okay, I will let the imperial master do the hard work again, and if you love me, please do another easier task for me."
Fei Lian was always cautious and did not feel relieved just because the emperor said it was "easy". He asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, please tell me the second thing."
Zhang Zixing said sternly: "This matter is not trivial. I love you so much..."
Fei Lian looked troubled: "Your Majesty, this matter..."
Zhang Zixing didn't wait for him to complain, and immediately said: "If Aiqing doesn't want to, I have no choice but to trouble the imperial advisor, but there is only one imperial advisor, how can I serve as both? Aiqing should go deal with Yinglong - since you are loyal to me, you should be
To relieve the worries of the poor, you must choose one of the two and cannot refuse."
Fei Lian was not willing to face his old enemy in the Battle of Zhuolu. After weighing the matter, he felt that the latter matter was easier to handle. He immediately said: "I am not able to do the matter of Ying Long, so I still choose the matter of sacrifice."
.”
Zhang Zixing and Longyan were delighted: "This is very good. With a loyal minister like Ai Qing, I can rest easy! Ai Qing return home quickly to prepare, don't miss anything."
Fei Lian obeyed and resigned. Zhang Zixing looked at his back and sneered secretly: This Feng Bo has been hiding his identity and refuses to tell the truth. It seems that he still refuses to truly be loyal to himself, the emperor. From Ying Long, a female slave
Judging from the paraphrase, Fei Lian seems to be trying to find a way to restore his former body and cultivation, so the identity of this senior doctor is at most just a cover-up, and will definitely be given up by him if necessary.
Zhang Zixing is not worried. He already has a Xuanxian-level powerhouse like Kong Xuan by his side. Even the female slayer Yinglong is in the Golden Immortal realm. There is no need to pin his hopes on Fei Lian. For Fei Lian's dissatisfaction,
The "subordinates" of Zhi Zhi are also easy to deal with. It would be a pity to kill them. They are the best to use as cannon fodder.
When he went to court the next day, Wen Zhong reported: "Sishui Pass reported yesterday that a corner of the southeastern city wall had collapsed. It seems that there are spiritual things under the ground causing trouble. I requested an order to go and check what happened."
The Emperor Zhun said: "If there is something supernatural causing trouble, it must be the Grand Master. The old Grand Master has worked tirelessly for the country and should set an example for all officials. I hope you will leave early and come back early so that others will not miss you."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the veteran's mount, Mo Qilin, is good at soaring into the clouds and will teach you very quickly. He will return to Chaoge in five days."
When the Grand Master heard about this deadline, most of the officials had no reaction. Only Weifan's hand holding the tooth wat suddenly tightened, but his face remained silent.
The day of Mu Xin's memorial ceremony is getting closer and closer. According to Tianying's report, Prince Yue's Mansion has been quite calm recently, with nothing unusual. However, Zhang Zixing knows that this is what is brewing before the storm. In fact, in these days, the palace is also everything
As usual, those who practice are still practicing, and those who come and go are still coming and going. There seems to be some tacit understanding with the Yue Prince's Mansion, which has always been peaceful.
Just the evening before the storm broke out, something suddenly happened.
Weifan's daughter Weiyuan came to the palace to visit her friend Li Feiyan.
Weiyuan was listed as one of the candidates for Zhang Zixing's concubine by the concubines, but Zhang Zixing thought that she was too utilitarian and ultimately did not accept her into the palace. And Weiyuan was stubborn enough and actually refused several marriages in succession.
Her father, Wei Fan, was unable to withstand her and threatened to die, so in the end he had no choice but to continue to let her stay in the boudoir.
Three years have passed, and Weiyuan is still beautiful and delicate, with a bit more mature charm. Although she has not been accepted by the emperor, she still has a deep friendship with Huang Feiyan, visiting the palace from time to time, and bringing some little things to the concubines from time to time.
A gift that is deeply loved by all girls.
Huang Feiyan, who was training her "troops", was naturally very happy about Weiyuan's arrival. She immediately left the "soldiers" irresponsibly and invited Weiyuan into her west palace. The two chatted for a while, and Huang Feiyan
She took out several sets of clothes that Zhang Zixing had designed for her in her free time and showed them off in front of her friend. The clothes were novel in style and coordinated in color, which made Weiyuan feel happy and envious. But when her eyes fell on Huang Feiyan's clothes, they were exposed under her clothes.
On the corner of things, his complexion suddenly changed drastically.
Huang Feiyan didn't know what was going on and asked: "Mei Yuan, why are you looking so pale?"
Weiyuan covered her chest and said, "It's okay, it's just a little chest tightness."
Huang Feiyan nodded and didn't take it to heart. Biyuan raised her head and peeked at the thing from another angle. She finally confirmed her guess and her face became increasingly ugly.
Weiyuan was anxious and didn't dare to stay. She quickly said: "Empress, for some reason, my sister is feeling extremely unwell today. I have to go home to rest first and come back to visit your empress another day."
Huang Feiyan only said that she was seriously ill and did not force her. He told her to have a good rest and personally sent her out of the palace.
As soon as she left the palace, Weiyuan hurried back to her mansion, wanting to tell her father Weifan. Unexpectedly, Weifan happened to be out of town at this time and had not returned. Weiyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and finally waited until Weifan.
It was almost late at night when Fan returned.
Weifan originally had a relaxed look on his face, but after listening to his daughter's story, even though he had always been calm, his expression changed.
"This is a matter of life and death, Yuan'er, have you seen it clearly?"
"Yuan'er knows the stakes of this matter, how dare she be vague? The poison-repelling talisman is exactly the same as the one my sister gave me. There is no way I can mistake it."
Weifan's face was heavy, and he quickly remembered: "It's the same? It's no accident that Concubine Li has this magic talisman. The other empresses will naturally have it too. From this point of view, doesn't the poison..."
"Yuan'er, it's a good thing that you have the imperial palace with you today, otherwise our whole family would be in danger of extinction!"
Wei Yuan said anxiously: "In that case, my father should go to my sister's house immediately and explain everything to avoid tomorrow..."
Wei Fan calmly shook his head: "Since the emperor is so prepared, he probably already knows about the plan, and the Yue Palace must be under his surveillance. If my father makes any changes at this time, it will be like throwing himself into a trap. The only plan is now...
…Only the one who enters the palace!”
Weiyuan's delicate body trembled, and she asked in shock: "Does father want to sacrifice his two brothers and sister?"
Weifan's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "With the emperor's wisdom and such an arrangement, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything tomorrow. Although my father's move is heartless, it is helpless. No matter whether this move succeeds or fails, our clan will be preserved.
.Even if my father loses the three of you and Qiu'er because of this, if my father doesn't do this, if things happen tomorrow, everyone in our clan will be unlucky. For hundreds of years, our clan has lived incognito and eked out an ignoble existence.
So far, there is only this bit of blood left. Now that the great things have not been accomplished, how can it be cut off by my hands..."
Weiyuan bit her lip tightly, but tears fell unconsciously.
After making the decision, Weifan did not dare to delay and went to the palace overnight to ask for an audience with the emperor.
Zhang Zixing was very surprised that Weifan asked for an audience at this time, but he still accepted him.
When Weifan saw the emperor, he immediately bowed to him and even accused him of being guilty. Then, what he said made Zhang Zixing horrified and moved.
Wei Fan claimed that recently he felt that his second son Wei Ting and Wei Ge were a little strange, so he couldn't help but pay attention. Today when he was visiting his daughter, Princess Yue Wei Yuan, in the Palace of the Prince of Yue, he overheard a huge conspiracy. The King of Yue actually planned something evil and colluded with the four major forces.
The princes were preparing to harm the emperor at tomorrow's Mu Xin Festival, and his two sons were also involved! Weifan was so surprised that he did not dare to hide it, so he quickly went to the palace that night to report to the emperor.
Zhang Zixing was surprised that Weifan was so loyal that he did not hesitate to kill relatives for justice. In his impression, Weifan was an "opportunistic minister" like Fei Lian and Fei Zhong, and could not be compared with the vocabulary of those loyal ministers. Moreover,
According to his intelligence, Wei Fan had a close relationship with his son-in-law Wei Ziqi. He was originally listed as one of Wei Ziqi's accomplice suspects, but unexpectedly he came to inform him overnight.
What shocked Zhang Zixing even more was the words "colluding with the four major princes"! Unexpectedly, Wei Ziqi actually hooked up with the four major princes! No wonder when he called them to talk, he always felt that something was not right, so that's it!
Zhang Zixing immediately thought of the disappearance of the Mianchi Shadow Guard that day, and a sharp light shot out from his eyes, which made Weifan's heart tremble. Zhang Zixing then calmly praised Weifan and made him a senior doctor immediately. When he goes to court,
He then made a formal announcement and strictly ordered Weifan not to make any public announcement about the matter.
Weifan saw from the emperor's calm expression that he had indeed known what would happen tomorrow, and he secretly thought that he was lucky but also felt bitter at the same time: This mere doctor's position was obtained at the cost of the lives of his two sons and a daughter.
In fact, Zhang Zixing did not completely believe Weifan's words, especially the matter involving the four princes. In order to further confirm the matter, Zhang Zixing immediately summoned one of the parties involved, Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu.
Zhang Zixing first looked at Chonghou Hu for a long time and remained silent. Chonghou Hu was made uneasy by this invisible psychological attack, and then Zhang Zixing asked a few words lightly.
The first sentence is: "I have always regarded Chongqing as a loyal minister. Does Chongqing know what loyalty is? A loyal person's integrity will not change until death."
Chonghou Hu had a ghost in his heart, and he became even more uneasy when he heard this.
The emperor then asked another question, completely breaking his inner defense: "What kind of benefits did the King of Yue promise you in Mianchi?"
Chonghou Hu was sweating profusely, knelt on the ground, and quickly explained: "The King of Yue...The King of Yue wants to incite the four princes in the southeast, northwest, and north to rebel. I am thinking of your majesty's kindness and flatly refuse. Please give me your advice."
Zhang Zixing did a little testing on the Mianchi incident, and it confirmed his hypothesis. Naturally, he did not believe what Chonghou Hu said: "When I came to the throne, I promised you that you will always be in the north, and I also planned to give you the Baiyan Huangyue forever."
, This is such a kindness. It’s a pity that you have disappointed me so much. I am really heartbroken. Why don’t you tell the truth quickly..."
Chonghou Hu was so frightened that he kept kowtowing and told everything about that day, except that the fourth prince expressed his stance to Wei Ziqi. Chonghou Hu was not stupid. He knew that if he exposed the other three princes,
The emperor would inevitably be suspicious of himself, but he did not let E Chongyu go, saying that E Chongyu might have colluded with Wei Zi Qi Zao. The original idea of the four people gathering in the post house was E Chongyu's suggestion.
After Wei Ziqi entered the post house, Nan Bohou's personal guards stationed outside were not "aware" of it at all, and they also cooperated with Wei Ziqi in many ways. This was not an unjust accusation against E Chongyu.
Zhang Zixing was quite surprised by E Chongyu's performance. Originally, he listed Nan Bohou as an important suspect, but now it seems that he is definitely Wei Ziqi's accomplice.
At that time, Wei Ziqi was defeated in the battle for the crown prince because of Zhang Zixing's "crisis theory of princes" in the Zhaoxuan Palace. Now he actually wants to rely on these remarks to incite the princes and seize the throne. Thinking of Caiyun boy's return to Chao Ge,
Zhang Zixing already had a rough outline of Nuwa's plan in his mind - to use the ambitions of the members of the Shang clan to seize the throne and then take the life of the emperor. It seems that this kind of struggle for imperial power in the world is normal.
She does not need to be implicated in karma. Even if she does, she will have the expelled Caiyun boy as a scapegoat. Once the emperor's position is really changed, the killings may occur due to chaos, or by the princes of a certain "Destiny God".
In the name of eliminating rebellion, they launched a large-scale war...
Zhang Zixing was filled with hatred, but he still controlled his emotions and stabilized Chonghou Hu. He suddenly thought of the plot in the novel where Fei Zhong sent Jiang Huan to assassinate King Zhou and frame Empress Jiang. An idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately came up with a strange plan.
