Emperor Jinglong palace coup failed, Empress Zhang listens to politics behind the curtain.
Whether she is Empress Dowager Cixi in the future, becomes Empress Lü, or explodes into Empress Wu, it has little to do with Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was very interested in this kind of thing at first, but after seeing it too much, it just became like that.
Whoever comes to power today will fall tomorrow.
There is only one outcome for him or them.
All must die!
"It seems to be getting more and more indifferent."
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, put aside the mundane world, and continued to think about cannibalizing Brocade Guard.
Ten years is just a blink of an eye, but it has already achieved great results. Now that we have a foundation, it will be much easier to stuff people in later.
Most people have similar talents. There is no difference between promoting A or B. At this time, someone needs to help. Brocade Guard is enough to influence people's promotions.
"There will be many places where Xiao Yuanzi will be used in the future, why don't you take the time to take a look?"
After Zhou Yi posted Chess Piece, it was always downward contact, but this morning Yuan Shun came to Heavenly Prison.
Yuan Shun presented the auspicious white deer, and with the operation of his godfather, he was successfully promoted to the fourth rank Brocade Guard town governor, with the power of supervision of several states in the southeast, a high position.
This time Yuan Shun returned to Shenjing to escort the prisoner. Since the prisoner was a second-grade state shepherd, the town governor could barely escort him in person.
Subsequently, Yuan Shun transferred the prisoners' family members to Heavenly Prison. However, such trivial matters can only be handled by others, and there is no need for the governor to make a trip in person.
Warden Wu and Captain Lu waited carefully, accompanied Yuan Shun to visit Heavenly Prison, and stayed for two or three hours before leaving.
Zhou Yi could see clearly from the sidelines that the purpose of Yuan Shun's return to Beijing was to see him.
"Could this be a trap?"
There has been a single line of contact for ten years. Chess Piece doesn't know whether Zhou Yi is a boy or a girl, what his last name is, and he doesn't know how to contact her. Therefore, Chess Piece has rebelled, and Brocade Guard has no way to investigate.
Yuan Shun What you do is already a taboo!
"It is impossible to mobilize a large army to encircle Shenjing. The strongest strength of the imperial court is six or more Innate Grandmaster. To encircle and kill them all is just a few more cauldrons..."
Zhou Yi is cautious and unwilling to fight with others at will, but he has a clear understanding of his own strength.
Overestimating oneself is seeking death, while underestimating oneself is also a careless oversight!
"Little Yuanzi has worked diligently over the years and was promoted to Brocade Guard town governor. He is already qualified to become a chess player from Chess Piece."
Zhou Yi judged that it was probably not a trap, but he was accustomed to waiting for everything. When Yuan Shun left Shenjing, the risk would be gone.
Waiting can eliminate all traps!
Shenjing Three hundred miles east.
The terrain is flat and stretches as far as the eye can see.
More than three hundred soldiers marched along the official road, holding a flag with the word "Yuan" in front.
Among the carriages.
Yuan Shun closed his eyes and meditated. Different from his usual flattering and greasy appearance, his plump face and serious face always felt a little inconsistent.
Yuan Shun only looks like this when he is alone.
When he was the young leader of a gang, he was a thin and handsome boy. Because his godfather Feng Zhong liked "fat and crazy" people, he doubled his weight in just six months.
Yuan Shun was promoted to the position of governor, relying on more than just money!
suddenly.
A voice sounded in Yuan Shun's ears, "Why are you looking for me?"
Yuan Shun Suddenly opened his eyes, there was an old Daoist in the carriage. He had white hair and a childish face, and his navy blue Daoist robe was washed white.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yi said, "White Jade Capital in the Sky."
"Five Pavilions and Twelve Cities."
Yuan Shun looked happy and quickly bowed and saluted. "Greetings to the Lord!"
Since the betrayal of Chess Piece, Zhou Yi asked everyone to write down the unique password to prevent anyone from impersonating King Samsara.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "How many times have I told you that we are a cooperative relationship and there is no need to call me master."
"The Lord helps the humble to seek revenge and does not dare to overstep his bounds."
Yuan Shun has been working in Brocade Guard for ten years, and has long been familiar with the unspoken rules of officialdom. If your boss or backer talks about mutually beneficial cooperation and equality, it means that they value you very much.
If you are really proud and put yourself on an equal footing, you are destined to be doomed!
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. "Speaking of which, why are you looking for me?"
"It's okay."
Yuan Shun explained, "Brocade Guard Zhong Tongzhi is a member of the Former Emperor. He was dismissed from his post and his family was confiscated due to corruption and bribery. He came back to Beijing just to fight."
Zhou Yi said, "So it failed now?"
Brocade Guard Tongzhi is in the fourth rank, and his rank is no higher than that of the governor. However, Tongzhi sits in the Yamen of Kyoto and can often be summoned by His Majesty to ask questions. He is only one step away from the commander.
If Yuan Shun can be promoted to a colleague, it will be easier for Chess Piece of Zhou Yi to be promoted within the Brocade Guard system in the future.
Although this would expose Chess Piece's identity, Yuan Shun would not and would not dare to refuse. He gathered a group of subordinates from the same faction and divided them into local and state capitals, which would be very useful in competing for command.
Moreover, the tragic death of Zhu Yue is still vivid in my mind!
Yuan Shun sighed, "The one who competed with me was Chen Yang, the grandson of Marquis Qi. My godfather can't be too partial. In the end, Chen Yang's meritorious service was greater and he won the position of Tongzhi."
"Marquis Qi, Chen Yang."
Zhou Yi recalled for a moment and said, "The reason for your defeat is not due to lack of merit. If you were promoted based on merit, you would not even be able to reach a hundred households now."
Yuan Shun said doubtfully, "Please give me some guidance, Lord."
"When Marquis Chen was still the Duke of the country, his niece was Chen Yang's aunt. She married Crown Prince as his concubine. After the Former Emperor ascended the throne, she was named Consort Xian."
Zhou Yi said, "Chen Yang and His Majesty are barely relatives."
The Former Emperor is Emperor Jinglong. Now His Majesty is establishing the Orthodoxy, and in two months it will be the first year of the Orthodoxy.
Yuan Shun suddenly said, "So Chen Yang has left His Majesty's relationship. No wonder I lost."
"Stupid!"
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that Chen Yang has taken away His Majesty's relationship, but His Majesty's intention to win over the Former Emperor's old man, in order to resist Empress Dowager's ability to listen to politics behind the curtain, so that he can truly inherit the throne in the future!"
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager..."
Yuan Shun looked horrified when he heard this. Zhou Yi looked like a monster in his eyes. Then he thought about it, this was indeed an old monster who had lived for an unknown amount of time.
The situation between North Korea and China is complicated, and in the eyes of experienced veterans, it is nothing more than that.
Yuan Shun said helplessly, "Your Majesty, if you humble yourself in the future, your Majesty will be displeased. It will be difficult for you to get promoted."
After Feng Zhong was the Renyin Coup, Chancellor Zhang was promoted and now belongs to the hardcore Empress Dowager party. As the godson, Yuan Shun has also been labeled.
After all, Emperor Zhengtong is the emperor whom everyone expects. In addition, Chen Yang belongs to the noble family, and he was promoted to Brocade Guard's colleague. Although he knew that he was promoting a close relative, Empress Dowager could not obstruct him too much.
Zhou Yi said quietly, "So, you are looking for me to kill Chen Yang?"
"There is no other way than to be humble."
Yuan Shun sensed the cold murderous intention and quickly explained, "The purpose of being humble is to be promoted as soon as possible and to serve the Lord better. There are many secrets of the country and dynasty that only Shenjing Yamen has recorded."
"Yeah."
Zhou Yi snorted, "You don't need to do it yourself to kill people. If you give in temporarily, you can rise faster."
Yuan Shun Putong knelt on the car, without Brocade Guard's majesty as a governor, and kowtowed.
"Please give me your guidance, Lord."
"While chatting with my godfather Feng Zhong, I learned some secrets about Emperor Chongming, which are related to the legendary cultivator of immortality..."
