The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Du Changjing took off his veil, revealing his true face. Chang Zifei was shocked when he saw Du Changjing's face, and the wine bottle in his hand fell off, pop!With a bang, the wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered, and the wine was spilled everywhere.

Chang Zifei staggered back a few steps, leaned against the stone table, and pointed at Du Changjing with an incredulous expression on his face, "You...you...it's Du Changjing... aren't you dead?" Chang Zifei hesitated, his lips were trembling, and his drunkenness was half-frightened away.

"Not dead, that corpse is just a stand-in!" Du Changjing replied blankly.

"what?"

Chang Zifei was stunned for a while, his mind was in a mess. He was silent for a while, and took time to digest the fact that Du Changjing was not dead. I haven't finished digesting what happened to Yingchang, after all, it is really shocking.

After waiting for a while, Chang Zifei asked full of doubts: "Since General Xiaoqi is not dead, why did you come to my Changfu? What happened at Wujin Pass three years ago? Why did General Changsheng order the whole army to go down?" A bloody battle against the Jin army?"

Chang Zifei asked three questions at once, and the last two questions were what all ministers who were kept in the dark wanted to ask.

"Let me answer your last two questions first, three years ago..." Du Changjing told Chang Zifei everything that happened in Wujin three years ago.

ps: "Please recommend tickets, please collect, new books need nourishment, everyone, please come and moisturise, let me moisten and moisten!"

Chapter 34 Chang Zifei's Shock!

"Ugh!"

Chang Zifei's drunkenness completely disappeared, and he sighed heavily, his expression even more depressed, "Chang Shengjun and Chang Sheng General are really my Qin Zhihurui, the country's unparalleled warriors, and I really admire them for paying such a heavy price for Daqin. I knew it at the beginning. This matter is not simple, but I really didn't expect that the Queen Mother's purpose is to steal the country, it is really hateful, if you don't stop it, the Great Qin will die!"

"It's a pity that the imperial power is now falling apart. If you and I just want to save the country, it's like ants shaking a big tree!" Chang Zifei sighed again, a little annoyed. He hated himself for not knowing this in advance. If three years ago Knowing the truth, the queen mother died a long time ago. After all, at that time, the [-] Yang family troops were still in Yang Cheng's hands.

"Master Chang, there is an oral order!" Du Changjing said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chang Zifei was stunned again, "Oral order? Whose oral order?"

Du Changjing cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, "Of course it belongs to His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty?" Chang Zifei's throat seemed to be stuck, he could not speak smoothly, his eyes were wide open, and he looked incredible.

There was so much information that Chang Zifei couldn't digest it for a while.

"General Xiaoqi, don't be joking, your majesty is only eight years old, eight years old..."

Du Changjing suddenly interrupted: "What's the matter at the age of eight? In ancient times, Ma Feizi became an official at the age of six and became a prime minister at the age of eight. Now it's so strange to be the emperor of martial arts at the age of eight!"

Du Changjing said it was not unusual, but in fact, since he left the palace until now, he has not slowed down.

"How is it possible? Your Majesty is obviously cowardly in the court, otherwise, Old Tang would not have resigned in despair and was killed!" Chang Zifei said with a look of disbelief. Said.

"Master Chang, you have been in the court for so many years, don't you know that the tree attracts the wind? If His Majesty showed a smart appearance from the beginning, how could the Queen Mother tolerate him? To be honest, I just found out about Your Majesty. I... .”

In order to convince Chang Zifei, Du Changjing fully revealed the fact that he had been to Xianyang Palace in the past three years.

"Oh my God, Your Majesty is hiding so deeply, but I still don't believe it, it's so inconceivable!" Even if Du Changjing said everything, Chang Zifei still didn't believe it.

Du Changjing can also understand this. If it were him, he wouldn't believe it. After all, he didn't see it with his own eyes. He chose to practice for three years before entering the palace. One is to strengthen himself and protect himself, and the other is to wait to win. He grows up often and has a certain amount of wisdom. Otherwise, at the age of five, he would not be able to understand the imperial decree, and it would even be in the hands of the Queen Mother.

If I had known that His Majesty was as wise as a monster, he would still be a fart!

"Master Chang, am I making this joke to play tricks on you? Could it be that I risked exposure to make a joke with you?" Du Changjing said helplessly.

"This..." Chang Zifei was speechless for a while. What Du Changjing said was unreasonable. He knew very well that the Queen Mother's spies were all around Chang's mansion, and those who came here to catch his pigtails were all now Changjing took the risk and ran into the Changfu, and told everyone, it shouldn't be possible to come here to make fun of himself, right?

"Lord Chang, Your Majesty knows that you don't believe it, so when you go to court tomorrow, His Majesty will give you a few glances, and then, you will believe it!" Du Changjing made his final big move.

Chang Zifei frowned slightly, and said in a hesitant tone: "If His Majesty really gives me eyes, I will naturally believe it!"

"Master Chang, do you want to hear what His Majesty means?" Du Changjing said again.

"It's okay to be straightforward!" Chang Zifei said without thinking.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, you need to listen to it. Anyway, you will know the truth tomorrow.

"Your Majesty wants to launch a coup to take back the power, but he has no soldiers, so he decided to train a team of dead soldiers. But training dead soldiers requires money. Your Majesty said that you are responsible for the money!" Du Changjing said simply. Make a plan.

"I'm in charge? But where do I get the money? Although my salary is high, I still have dozens of mouths to eat in my Changfu, so I don't have any spare money at all." Chang Zifei wanted to cry but had no tears. Duty, never embezzled a single coin, now let him be responsible for the money for cultivating the dead, he went there to find money, even selling the Changfu is not enough.

"Your Majesty knows that you are an upright official, so I gave you some advice!" Du Changjing replied.

"Idea? What's the idea?" Chang Zifei regained his energy immediately and asked impatiently.

"As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you control the transfer of officials across the country, and you are the fattest yamen among the six departments, so Your Majesty asked you to sell officials, sell nobles, embezzle and accept bribes. In this way, won't you have money?" Du Changjing smiled Said non-smiling.

Since ancient times, there has never been an emperor who has allowed his officials to embezzle. It can be said that winning often sets a precedent.

"What?" Chang Zifei was taken aback for a moment, selling officials and nobles?Corruption and bribery?

"Are you sure this is what His Majesty meant? Didn't you want money to deliberately deceive me with so many reasons?" Chang Zifei was extremely resistant. He didn't want to rub the word corruption at all from the bottom of his heart, which violated his official position. It also violates his moral bottom line.

Of course, this is not the point, his focus is still on the authenticity, if this matter is really suffered by His Majesty, for the sake of Daqin and His Majesty, he will do it even if his reputation is ruined.

"Forget it, it seems that you don't believe it anymore, you will know in the morning tomorrow!" Du Changjing stopped talking and said what should be said very clearly.

"If His Majesty really looks at me tomorrow, I will order it!" Chang Zifei replied solemnly.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Du Changjing bowed slightly, and raised his hand to make a farewell ceremony. After the words fell, Du Changjing rose from the ground, jumped on the roof, and left Changfu quickly with light and fast steps. Under the protection of the night, The spies around Changfu found no trace of Du Changjing.

After Du Changjing left, Chang Zifei went back to the bedroom, resting on the bed while digesting what he had just said.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Chang Zifei, Du Changjing, and Ying Chang didn't sleep all night, but they thought about different things...

The next day, Chen Shi, Qilin Hall!

Ying Chang was still dressed as before, sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform, looking down at the officials, and Empress Dowager Min was still sitting in the curtain behind the dragon chair, also looking down at the officials and Ying Chang.

All military officials stood on both sides, right and left, and Chang Zifei was standing in the second row from the right, peeking at Ying Chang from time to time, and Ying Chang also noticed Chang Zifei's movements. Seeing this scene, Ying Chang's heart ached. He was still very happy, which meant that Chang Zifei didn't have any disagreements, and the matter was half settled.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Chang raised his eyelids as a response.

Chapter 35 Embezzlement!

When Chang Zifei saw Ying Chang's response, a huge stone fell from his heart. He was relieved and shocked at the same time. He never expected that His Majesty, who is eight years old, would have such a scheming heart. It is really shocking. shudder.

Old Tang, oh old Tang, you died in vain!Chang Zifei sighed inwardly, feeling that Tang Zemin's death was really a pity, if he had been a day later, he would not have ended up dying in court.

Come on, I will embezzle according to the order in the future!

"There is something to play, nothing to leave the court!" Li Sanfang, the head of the palace, screamed at the officials with a cold face.

None of the military officials moved. Seeing this, Empress Dowager Min got up and walked out of the curtain. Seeing this, the military officials immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted: "I will send you off to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be a thousand years old!"

Empress Dowager Min suddenly frowned, with a look of displeasure on her face. All the military officials were a little terrified. They didn't know what made Empress Dowager Min unhappy. Ying Chang was also a little puzzled. Empress Dowager was insane?baffling...

Empress Dowager Min turned her head slightly to look at the ministers, and said in a calm tone: "The emperor is long live, and Ai's family is the emperor's mother. Why only call him Qiansui? This is obviously not in line with the common sense of filial piety. Let's do it from now on. Let’s call Long Live together with the emperor, don’t call Ai’s family the Empress Dowager, just call him the Empress Dowager!”

Ying Chang scolded his mother in his heart, the empress dowager has come out, this ambition is growing day by day!

"I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order!" Qiu Yisheng and Wei Huai stood up and shouted.

Seeing this, the officials knew that it would be impossible not to shout, and immediately shouted reluctantly: "I will send you off to the Empress Dowager, long live, long live, long live, Empress Dowager!"

Come on, this time all the ministers stopped shouting to send off His Majesty.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Min showed a satisfied smile on her face, and with the support of Li Sanfang, she walked down the high platform, and Ying Chang followed closely behind, and together they left the solemn and sacred Qilin Palace from the back hall with the Empress Dowager.

After Empress Dowager Min and Ying Chang dispersed, all officials retreated from the Qilin Hall one after another, and Wei Huai also accompanied Qiu Yisheng.

"Wei Xiang!"

Just when Wei Huai and the two walked to the front of the main hall, Chang Zifei, who deliberately stayed behind, called out respectfully to Wei Huai's back.

Both Wei Huai and Qiu Yisheng frowned slightly, and they both turned around at the same time. When they saw that the yeller was Chang Zifei, their expressions were a little playful.

"Wei Xiang, go slowly, wait for the next official, hehe!"

Chang Zifei trotted over with a flattering expression on his face, Wei Huai took a careful look at Chang Zifei, thinking, has the sun risen in the west today?Why is Chang Zifei so abnormal?

In the past, Chang Zifei didn't look at him at all, and beat him around the bush from time to time, but now he actually put on a flattering face and ran to his master like a loyal dog. The contrast was so great that Wei Huai couldn't accept it.

"Why, Mr. Chang, do you have something to ask?" Wei Huai replied playfully.

Qiu Yisheng stood aside and smiled lightly, without saying a word.

Chang Zifei walked up to Wei Huai and made a big gift, which surprised both Qiu Yisheng and Wei Huai, and even Wei Huai felt a bit unbearable for this big gift.

what is it today?Chang Zifei's head was hit by a ladle?

"How dare I ask the prime minister for advice? I'm here to apologize. In the past, I was so confused that I couldn't control my mouth. Please ask the prime minister not to remember the villain's mistakes and forgive me, okay?" Chang Zi Fei laughed and said, he looked like a loyal old dog.

Qiu Yisheng and Wei Huai looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

What the hell is Chang Zifei doing?Could it be that Tang Zemin's death made him understand the current situation in the court, and he abandoned the dark and turned to the clear?

"Master Chang, is this trying to be courageous, or is he sincere?" Wei Huai looked directly at Chang Zifei, trying to see through Chang Zifei's thoughts.

"oops!"

Chang Zifei yelled, and immediately showed a sincere and apprehensive expression, and quickly explained: "How dare you, I really sincerely apologize to the Prime Minister. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live in. But it's still a good bird!"

"You said the truth is wood?" Wei Huai replied with feigned displeasure.

"No, no, look at this cheap mouth of the lower official, it deserves to be beaten, it really deserves to be beaten!"

Snapped!Snapped!

While talking, Chang Zifei slapped himself twice, with red palm prints on his cheeks, and then replied flatteringly: "Prime Minister is Wutong, it's Wutong, it's a lazy toad who wants to eat swans Meat, please forgive my past crimes!"

What a fan!

The corner of Wei Huai's mouth twitched, feeling Chang Zifei's sincerity, but he always felt weird.

"Okay, Truth likes people who understand current affairs the most. Mr. Chang can correct his mistakes and correct them. Truth is very pleased. Seeing that you are so sincere, Truth does not blame you. Get out!" Wei Huai said with a smile on his face. He waved his sleeves arrogantly and said.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Prime Minister!"

Chang Zifei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately jumped out of the Qilin Hall.

Looking at Chang Zifei's bouncing back, Qiu Yisheng couldn't help raising his hand to caress his beard, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Chang Zifei is really abnormal. Yesterday he wanted to peel our skin and drink our blood, but now he bends over. It's incredible to lower his haughty back and beg you for mercy!"

Wei Huai nodded in agreement, but then said: "Chang Zifei's behavior is indeed abnormal, but it is also in line with common sense. Tang Zemin, who was advancing and retreating with him, died. It is normal for him to be unable to hold on alone. Are you not afraid of death?"

Qiu Yisheng frowned slightly, and replied with a worried look on his face: "Although this is the case, this person must be guarded against!"

"I understand what Taifu means, and I'm not a three-year-old kid, and he hasn't let me relax so easily!" Wei Huai said expressionlessly.

"It's so good!" Qiu Yisheng showed a smile, and then walked with Wei Huai...

At three o'clock in the evening, Xianyang Palace!

In the dormitory, Ying Chang sat on the side of the dragon couch, propping his face with his small hands. Looking at it this way, he was a little cute. He frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Bai Qi was taken away!

It was at noon today that Li Sanfang took Bai Qi away with someone. He didn't give a reason, and Ying Chang didn't dare to ask. Even for the sake of acting, he had to show a cheerful look, celebrating that the "heterogeneous" was out of his sight.

As soon as Bai Qi left, Yingchang was in a bad mood, the huge Xianyang Palace was deserted, there was no one to talk to, and the surrounding atmosphere felt even more depressing.

Ying Chang felt that he was very useless. As an emperor, he couldn't even keep his best brother, and he didn't know where he took him. However, Ying Chang was not worried about Bai Qi's life, because he was Empress Dowager Min's intention to live forever. The key, and it is not difficult to guess the reason why Queen Mother Min took Bai Qi away, should be that she is worried that the time has passed, and Ying Chang is not afraid of Bai Qi.

Chapter 36 One thousand taels of silver!

What the Queen Mother's party wants to see is a cowardly Yingchang, not a normal Yingchang. It can be said that they are trying their best to bring down the Great Qin Emperor!

Yingchang jumped off the dragon couch, walked to the window, looked up at the bright starry sky with a solemn expression, "Chang Zifei, Du Changjing, whether I can regain the imperial power depends on the strength of the two of you!" Win Chang murmured to himself.

Nowadays, seizing power has become the only thing in Yingchang. As long as he seizes power, everything he wants can be realized. This matter is too important. Winning or losing is only when the palace changes. Losing, he will become a puppet emperor from then on , win, and stand at the top of the Great Qin power pyramid from now on!

This is a war without gunpowder, and neither side can afford to lose.

Just when Ying Chang fell into sorrow, there were two people sitting in the inner hall of Chang Mansion, one was Chang Zifei, the other was about the same age as Chang Zifei, about forty years old, Chang Zifei had a smile on his face, The other person is flattering.

This person is Zhao Fu, a member of the Ministry of Officials, and his official rank is from the sixth grade.

Since Chang Zifei apologized to Wei Huai when he retired from the court, this matter has spread, so in the eyes of outsiders, Chang Zifei has already taken refuge in the prime minister's command. Before Chang Zifei had not taken refuge in Wei Huai, although he was At that time, he was a second-rank minister and minister of officials, but none of the officials dared to visit him, for fear of being targeted by the Queen Mother's party.

But now, Chang Zifei has become the queen mother's party in their eyes, and there is no longer any need to worry about being targeted for visiting Chang Zifei. No, one visits at night.

Chang Zifei and Zhao Fu were sitting on a coffee table, and they were sitting next to each other. Chang Zifei held up the freshly brewed fragrant tea, took a breath to show enjoyment, then put down the teacup, showing a wicked smile Yi said to Zhao Fu: "Master Zhao is visiting late at night, what do you mean?"

"Haha, my lord, look..."

Zhao Fu carried a bag of tea in his hand, the tea was wrapped in oiled paper, Zhao Fu put the tea bag on the tea table with a smile, looked at Chang Zifei with a flattering face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows that you love tea, My lord may not know about the tea that I specially entrusted someone to buy from the Great Qi Empire, but this tea is the most famous purple leaf in the Great Qi Empire, which is not even available in the Great Qin Empire, so please accept it!"

Chang Zifei felt disgusted, but because of His Majesty's plan, he had to show an excited smile, and while taking the tea bag over, he said with a smile: "Master Zhao really has a heart, I will accept Master Zhao's intention, haha !"

When Zhao Fu saw that Chang Zifei had collected the tea leaves, he was even happy in his heart. In fact, it didn’t matter whether the tea leaves were tea leaves or not. It is short-handed to take people and short-mouthed to eat people.
