Just as the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa was about to take action.
The news of Cao Zhengchun's death spread throughout the capital.
For a time, all the forces were shocked!
Many officials in the court were surprised and delighted. They didn't expect that Cao Zhengchun, who had so much power in the court, would die in the blink of an eye.
However, very few people knew what the human cat said!
He was just surprised that the cat dared to do this.
Who gave him the courage?
Who gave him the confidence?
……
At the same time, in Cining Palace.
A woman in a red phoenix robe was sitting on a wind couch with dragons and phoenixes carved on it.
The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, a bald head and crescent eyebrows.
Her black hair was like a cloud.
Her appearance was cold and dignified, and her figure was plump. Although she was already past the prime of her life, it was still clear that she was definitely a great beauty when she was young.
People could only watch from afar and did not dare to profane it.
When her phoenix eyes opened and closed, it gave off an extremely oppressive aura.
Empress Dowager Zhang.
Zhu Houzhao's biological mother.
As the empress dowager, she was the first to receive news of Cao Zhengchun's death.
"Who gave a mere eunuch manager such courage?”
Empress Dowager Zhang's pretty face was cold and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
In the palace, a human cat was just a chief eunuch.
However, he killed Cao Zhengchun without the permission of any higher-ups.
What guts!
What was he trying to do?
A eunuch wanted to usurp the throne?
Human cat, did he still have her, the Empress Dowager, and Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor?
Want to monopolize the power of the internal court?
How could this be?
She could not tolerate this.
Originally, she was very happy that Zhu Houzhao was promoted.
After all, he was her son.
However, this cat and human incident made Empress Dowager Zhang feel a strong sense of crisis.
It was obvious that the human cat wanted to monopolize power and be the nine thousand years old.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang quickly calmed down. She looked at the old eunuch and said,"Immediately tell this widow to call Yuyan over and tell her to bring everyone from the demonic sect.”
She would never allow a eunuch to suppress the imperial power.
"Yes, Empress Dowager!"
The eunuch hurriedly agreed and did not dare to delay at all. He went out to do his work.
……
On the other side, in Yangxin Palace Hall.
At this moment, the human-cat team was kneeling in front of Zhu Houzhao with Zhao Gao and the members of Quicksand. They said,""Your Majesty, I've brought the person."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao lowered his head, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
Yu Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, Zi Nu, Yan Lingji, and the others knelt on the ground in fear, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Indeed, they had already decided to join Zhu Houzhao.
Furthermore, the human-cat had also said that His Majesty was generous. As long as he was sincere, it would not be a big deal.
However, when they entered Yangxin Palace Hall, they suddenly felt extremely nervous and uneasy.
After all, Cao Zhengchun was a precedent, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
They were afraid that if they accidentally angered Zhu Houzhao, they would be dragged out and beheaded.
More importantly, Zhu Houzhao's changed aura had shocked Zhao Gao and the others.
He was not the good-for-nothing Crown Prince that they had seen before. He was a true ruler, a qualified Emperor. Every move he made carried a thick domineering aura.
The pressure it gave them was also exceptionally great.
"Yes!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded lightly and waved at the human cat.
The cat understood and walked out immediately.
Then, he stood at the side of the palace, his eyes as sharp as knives, like a loyal guard.
If anything happened, he would act immediately.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhao Gao and the Quicksand members and said indifferently,""Zhao Gao, This Emperor knows that you are from Great Qin, but This Emperor doesn't mind or care. This Emperor only looks at whether a person is valuable or not, not whether they are loyal or not!”
"This…"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao's face turned pale.
However, he immediately understood what Zhu Houzhao meant.
With one word, his identity was exposed, and the moment he attacked, he used a killing move, blocking all your escape routes.
This made Zhao Gao tremble even more.
Zhu Houzhao's meaning was very obvious!
Was it useful?
He could live!
Useless?
Then die!
It was obvious that he had to make a choice.
Was it to show his loyalty and serve Da Ming from now on?
They would rather die than submit and continue to work for Great Qin. If they were dragged out, they would be beheaded.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Disobedience meant death!
He did not want to die!
To him, submitting to an emperor like Zhu Houzhao, the ruler of a dynasty, was not something shameful.
Since he could submit to the King of Qin, he could naturally submit to Zhu Houzhao as well.
Thinking of this, he kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao and said,""Your Majesty, Zhao Gao is willing to work for Your Majesty. He is willing to be a useful person and become a weapon in Your Majesty's hands!”
"Yes!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and revealed a faint smile."You are very sensible. Zhen will allow it.”
"From now on, you will assist the humans and cats in their work. You will still be Great Qin's spy and do your original job.”
From the moment Zhao Gao said this, all his escape routes were completely blocked.
This was Zhu Houzhao's goal.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had a domineering personality, and it was destined that he would never be able to accept traitors.
Once Zhao Gao defected to Da Ming, it meant that there was no possibility of Zhao Gao betraying him.
Other than Zhu Houzhao, no one dared to take Zhao Gao in.
Although Zhu Houzhao said that he didn't need loyalty, he could make Zhao Gao have no choice but to serve him.
Wasn't this the greatest loyalty?
A person who had betrayed him once would be a sharp weapon if used well.
Especially when dealing with the Qin country, they would only be more vicious and more attentive.
Now that he had subdued Zhao Gao, Great Qin would have an endless supply of information, and he would be like a double agent.
The report to Great Qin would be what Zhu Houzhao wanted Great Qin to know.
The core information about Great Qin would be presented to Zhu Houzhao in the most realistic way possible.
