"According to Eunuch Xu, that green beauty is indeed very favored by His Majesty, and it seems that Xiang Shou did not mention Teacher Lu at all.”
In the North Palace, in the Crown Prince's Residence, in Ying Zheng's small courtyard, Zhao Mu was looking at Ying Zheng, who was reading a book. Zhao Gao, who was bending over, was listening to him as he reported the news he had received from Eunuch Xu to Zhao Mu.
"You did well. Continue to contact Eunuch Xu and tell me all the news.”
"Yes." Zhao Gao said, but then he hesitated.
"If you have something to say, say it." Zhao Mu glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Teacher, we have already pulled ourselves out. Why do we have to get information about His Majesty through Eunuch Xu? In this case, won't Eunuch Xu become our weakness?”
Zhao Gao asked doubtfully.
"You're right. This plan was flawless, but there's a loophole.”
"A loophole?"
"That's right." Zhao Mu stood beside Ying Zheng, watching him concentrate on his reading. Then, he sat down at the side and continued,""Although His Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the Empire for six years, the previous king has always been in power.
The former king was a man of great talent and great strategy. The Xianyang Palace could not be a spy of any force, so we were still ignorant of the situation in the Xianyang Palace until now.
Although the azure beauty was sent to His Majesty, no one knows whether or not His Majesty has enjoyed this delicacy. Although according to His Majesty's personality, there is an 80 - 90% chance that he will follow our plan, this matter is too big.
That's why I bribed Eunuch Xu to confirm whether His Majesty had really enjoyed this delicacy.
After this matter is over, Xianyang Palace will be under our control.”Zhao Mu stood up and looked at a small spider web in the corner of the room. He flicked his finger slightly, and sword Qi shot out. The red spider that was weaving its own spider web fell down.
Zhao Mu opened his right palm, and his internal energy surged. The falling spider was instantly sucked onto his palm. His internal energy was controlled extremely carefully, and the spider did not suffer any damage. Instead, it climbed up and down his palm docilely.
Zhao Mu extended his palm to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao raised his head in surprise. The red spider slowly crawled from Zhao Mu's palm to Zhao Gao's palm, looking slightly panicked.
"An inescapable net that invades every opening. No matter how clean the palace was, there would always be a corner that you didn't notice. A spider was secretly weaving its own web, waiting for its prey to crawl into it.”
"Zhao Gao, do you understand?"
"This subordinate understands." Zhao Gao said respectfully.
After saying that, he left.
"Sir, why don't you avoid the students?”After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng raised his little head from behind the book and looked at Zhao Mu with a hint of hesitation. Zhao Mu gently stroked his head.
"Because sooner or later, you will have to come into contact with these things. Zheng 'er, to be a true emperor, you must come into contact with the darkest side of this world. And continue to walk on unwaveringly."
"I don't understand."
"You will understand in the future." Zhao Mu said.
On the second day after King Xiaowen ascended the throne, he issued a decree: He pardoned the sinners, treated the meritorious officials of the former king well, gave generous gifts to the relatives of the imperial clan, and opened up the garden to play.
The most noteworthy point was to treat the meritorious officials of the previous king well. This sentence was equivalent to giving the officials of King Zhaoxiang a protective talisman, allowing them to continue to work in peace and not worry about becoming the first fire of King Xiaowen.
But then, something went wrong. The ministers were surprised to find that although King Xiaowen was still diligent in government affairs, his footsteps were light and his face was pale. Moreover, he stayed overnight in the palace of a concubine.
Furthermore, she was conferred the title of Qing Mei.
According to the Qin system, the emperor's harem was respected by his wife, which was equivalent to the future empress. Below the madam were the beauties, equivalent to the imperial consorts. Then there are the good man, the eight sons, the seven sons, the long envoy, the little envoy, etc.
The moment this woman entered the palace, she was conferred the title of beauty. This was a violation of the Qin system.
There were many ministers who wrote letters to remonstrate, but they were all held back.
The next day, at night, Zhao Gao looked at Eunuch Xu, who was smiling as he left with the gold. He turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Mister, His Majesty has been partying every night no less than five times.”
This time, Zhao Mu avoided Ying Zheng. After all, it involved the Duke of Zhou's matter, and he still had to pay attention to the young Ying Zheng. If it was five times, it would really cost him his life.
He had never seen Qing Mei's appearance before and did not know how beautiful she was. However, she was indeed very beautiful. After all, to be able to make King Xiaowen, who was used to seeing beauties, fall for her to such an extent, ordinary looks would not work.
However, since ancient times, beauties were unlucky.
Zhao Mu said," His Majesty isn't young. He's been partying every night. Tomorrow is about the end. When something happens to His Majesty, Eunuch Xu will definitely look for you in panic. Do you understand what you should do then?"”
Zhao Gao's heart trembled slightly. Zhao Mu's nonchalant appearance and calm tone were related to the death of the Emperor. This shrewdness made him feel fear in his heart.
"Zhao Gao understands."
"Yes, you may leave."
"Yes."
"Sir, there are some things in the reform that Zheng 'er doesn't understand.”After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng held a roll of bamboo slips, opened the door, and shouted at Zhao Mu who was in the courtyard.
"Alright, I'll take a look." Zhao Mu smiled.”
........
In Zhangtai Palace, King Xiaowen gently caressed the delicate skin of the green beauty. It had been three days, but he felt that he could not get enough of her. He wanted to stay away from those so-called political affairs and sleep in the arms of a beauty.
"Your Majesty."
The green beauty's gentle voice sounded like the horn of battle, causing King Xiaowen to be unable to suppress his emotions anymore as he pounced forward.
Outside the house, Eunuch Xu looked at the pitch-black night sky and frowned slightly. Why was the moon so dark tonight?
"Make the candles brighter." He said to the eunuch in charge of serving him.
(I still have to wait a few days for the cover. I'm sorry. It's almost the end of the year. I'm too busy at work. I'm a little too busy. I'll ask for some collection. Thank you.)）
